1994: Vegetable farmers strike back

Chapter 25 The Scholar is Definitely Jealous

Chen Jiazhi had not expected that the pollination of the loofah would arouse the lust of a group of people.

It seems that I won’t be able to start classes easily in the future.

Especially when men are not selling vegetables and are full of energy.

Damn~
Chen Jiazhi didn't sleep well that night and was woken up by a loud curse from next door.

"God damn it, I'm trying to pollinate today, and you're going to start raining, right?"

Yi Dinggan immediately replied, "Li Mingkun, didn't you pollinate enough last night?"

"Fuck, that can be the same thing!"

At this time, Qi Yongfeng joined in, "Hey, anyway, I pollinated yesterday evening and night, this rain won't affect me."

"Qi Yongfeng, do you still have any shame?" Aunt Juan's roar directly penetrated all the rooms.

The other women also started cursing.

"A bunch of hooligans!"

"What are you discussing so early in the morning?"

"Didn't you see Jiazhi go out to work so early? Jiazhi is right. Not only is he lucky, but he's also more attentive in management than you, Yi Dinggan!"

Yi Dinggan muttered, "He's just so angry he has no place to vent."

"I think you just deserve a beating!"

Amid the women's scolding, Yi Dinggan, Li Mingkun, Guo Mancang and Qi Yongfeng also went out to cover the film.

The sky is gloomy and the rain may not stop for a while.

Li Mingkun’s cucumbers have not been artificially pollinated yet, so his mood is naturally not very good.

"Scholar, you say you have bad luck, but the sky is almost yours. I can't even pollinate my cucumbers."

Chen Jiazhi was busy covering the film when he looked up and saw several people walking towards him.

"There will be opportunities later. Just do what you need to do. Don't come running to me. I'm tired of seeing you!"

Yi Ding asked in a sly tone, "What's the matter, Jiazhi? You seemed a little sleepy this morning. Did I disturb you last night?"

Chen Jiazhi cursed loudly, "Get out! Get out! All of you must have done this on purpose, especially Qi Yongfeng. The bed was shaken to pieces."

"Hahaha……"

"You know nothing, I'm the best!"

"Did you see this morning that Liu Minghua's face was a little red and swollen? He might have wanted to do something last night, but was beaten by Jia Suzhen."

"Serves you right. If a man can't even handle a woman, what kind of man is he?"

A few people chatted and laughed, still staying where they were. Chen Jiazhi said angrily, "It's useless to cover your door with film after the rain has penetrated. Do you know why your leaves are sticky and there are so many diseases? It's because you didn't pay attention to the details."

After listening to him, everyone went to work.

Chen Jiazhi lamented that these people's skills were still a bit immature. This group of vegetable farmers had low cultural literacy and their practical experience was honed through countless fights.

Oh no, there is one exception: Yi Dinggan.

He actually knows a lot of technical skills, but he always likes to procrastinate when it comes to doing the work himself, and when he has money in his pocket, he likes to fish for three days and dry the net for two days.

But there are also advantages, you can live a carefree life.

After covering the film, the rain got heavier. Chen Jiazhi went to help Yi Dinggan cover the film again, and then the two went back to have breakfast.

Yi Dinggan complained: "It's troublesome to constantly remove and cover the film."

Chen Jiazhi: "There's no other way. Vegetables must be exposed to sunlight. Even if it rains continuously, they need at least two or three hours of light and air every day."

"It would be a real hassle if it rained every day."

"Brother Yi, stop talking~" "What's wrong?"

"I have a feeling that after you say that, the rain will not stop for many days."

"I'm not Qi Yongfeng."

Facts have proven that everyone in the Flower City has the potential to be a rain god. During the rainy season, it may rain seven days a week.

It started raining in the morning and didn't clear up until the afternoon. Chen Jiazhi quickly removed the film to ventilate the area.

When the rain has almost dried up in the evening, we will go to pinch off the tips of the loofahs and replace their heads. Both the main and side vines of the loofahs can produce fruits.

The base fertilizer was not sufficient in the early stage, so Chen Jiazhi only left two melons on one plant after the replacement so that they could grow into commercial melons as soon as possible.

One of the purposes is to harvest more batches of melons before the heavy rain at the end of May to minimize losses.

The plants may not die after a heavy rain, but the yield will definitely be greatly affected. In order to prepare for the typhoon season in July, Chen Jiazhi actually thought about pulling up the seedlings and starting over after the heavy rain, but everything still depends on the specific situation.

Although it rained all morning, we still had to water the plants at night. This is the disadvantage of having a small greenhouse without a matching micro-sprayer.

After you have the micro-spray, just turn on the switch and set the time.

But there is no way. If you want water spinach and cabbage to grow well, the soil must be kept moist, but not too humid.

Only artificial watering
Chen Jiazhi was busy watering the plants in the evening and stayed up late. He was the last one to take a shower and the last one to go to bed. As a result, in the middle of the night, he heard a faint squeaking sound from somewhere.

That's enough~
Have you eaten meat?
Do you have money for next month's meals?
Aren’t you too hot?

The iron bed is a little small, and it is difficult for two people to turn over when sleeping together. It is okay if their bodies are not touching, but if they are touching, they will sweat easily.

Not to mention doing that.

Chen Jiazhi has a second-hand electric fan, but in order to save electricity, he usually doesn't turn it on at night.

After a while, the squeaking sounds became more frequent.

Chen Jiazhi's hands are also not honest. Except for the face that is a little tanned, Li Xiu's skin has always been very white. He can't do other things, but he can rub it into a round shape.
Then a hand grabbed him to stop him from moving.

"I'll just touch it for a while."

After a while, Chen Jiazhi wanted to touch the other side, but Li Xiu held his forearm tightly because some bastard next door was shaking it again and making a crackling sound.

"boom!!"

"what!!"

First there was the sound of an object falling to the ground, followed by a scream, which seemed particularly abrupt in the dark night. Suddenly, all the houses fell silent.

Chen Jiazhi also became obedient.

The scream should have come from Liu Minghua, who might have fallen quite hard.

And these animals are so shameless! There are at least two or three families in one room. How dare they do this?
But Chen Jiazhi recalled that this seemed to be the norm at that time. In that year, women in the vegetable market began to become pregnant one after another.

Maybe it’s because they don’t cook and have nothing to do.

A night of silence,
After getting up in the morning, everyone saw that Liu Minghua had more bruises on his body. Liu Minghua and his wife had not had a good time recently. They did not harvest much of the last batch of vegetables, and had to buy a new batch of agricultural supplies. It was a time of shortage of food again.

It is said that the two have been in a cold war recently. Last night, Liu Minghua might have wanted to play Farewell My Concubine but hit a wall.

The last point was guessed privately by Yi Dinggan and a few others, and is not guaranteed to be true.

"Jiazhi, why didn't you give out cigarettes this morning? Don't you have any food left?"

"No, I just don't want to send it to you."

After listening to a few people chatting early in the morning, Chen Jiazhi just lit a cigarette for himself and went out to work.

It is cool in the morning, so people usually work for a while before going home for breakfast.

Seeing him leave like that, Qi Yongfeng pinched the air with his index and middle fingers, and said, "The scholar is definitely jealous."
