So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day

Fortunately, today they are only responsible for the strong weeds in the fields, and they don't need to deal with the small ones.

All they had to do was harness the ox to the plow, let it plow in front, and Suihe and his men would pick up the grass roots from behind.

There were only three people in Suihe's family, and it took them a whole day to finish the work on this acre of land.

Fortunately, the few acres of good land they bought were adjacent to each other, so they didn't have to run around.

It took several days to weed the fields.

The cows that had been resting for a winter were finally put to use. The grandfather put on the plow and drove the cows to the fields.

In less than two hours, the whole field was plowed, and Grandpa drove the ox to the next field.

Suihe and grandma are holding hoes and clearing the grass roots in the field. The grass roots in the plowed field are easy to clean.

After working for several days, Suihe and his team finally managed to clear several acres of land.

The next step is to bring water from the river into the fields.

Bringing river water to the fields is also a hassle

A bamboo thing called a hu dou was used. The three sides of the hu dou were surrounded by bamboo strips, and there was only an opening in the front of the top. Water entered from the front and the top, and the water also went out from these two places (a bit like the thing we use to sweep ashes in modern times). Ropes were tied on both sides of the hu dou, and grandparents stood on one side, holding the two ends.

Use a bucket to draw water from the river, and then two people pull the rope hard to pour the water in the bucket into the field

Sui He frowned and looked at the things in his grandparents' hands with a puzzled look on his face. They used this thing to irrigate the farmland? When would it take to get it?

The water from the river flowed into the fields with the increasingly tacit cooperation of grandpa and grandma, and the water in the fields became more and more

With Suihe and his two companions working in shifts, irrigating these acres of fertile land was exhausting for Suihe.

The water in the field was turned off, and Sui He took some wood ash from his stove and poured it into the field to nourish the field. Only when the field was well nourished could the rice grow well.

Sui He took out the grain seeds that he had prepared long ago and handed them to Grandpa. Grandpa was surprised when he saw the grain seeds in the bag.

"Sui Sui, where did you get such good grains?" The grains Sui He took out were full and big, and the quality was very good. At first glance, they were top-quality grains.

Grandpa took out the grain seeds he got from the government office. The grain seeds in the government office were dry and small. Although some of them had full grains, they were not as good as the annual rice.

"This was sent by a friend of mine. He knew we were going to grow rice, so he asked someone to bring some over." Sui He replied calmly, "How is it, Grandpa? Is this seed okay?"

Grandpa looked at Sui He, his heart was as clear as a mirror, he knew Sui He was lying, but he would not expose it. Sui He said it was a gift from a friend, so it was a gift from a friend.

"Okay, this grain seed is great, better than the one issued by the government. Then we will use your friend's." Grandpa picked up the grain seed of Suihe.

Level out a field. The seedbed should be higher than the water in the field. Too much water will easily drown the seeds. After sowing the seeds, spread a thin layer of hay to keep them warm. The next step is to wait for the rice in the field to germinate.

This was the first time that Sui He took out the things in the space to plant. Sui He couldn't help but put his hands together and pray to the sky, hoping that it would succeed.

His grandparents also spoiled him. In their local area, they would directly scatter rice seeds on the ground, then use a plow to turn the seeds into the ground, and then irrigate the rice seeds after they sprouted and grew to a certain extent. The rice harvest was entirely determined by the weather (I have checked the information and found that there were many ways to grow rice in ancient times, and only one of them was selected)

So grandpa tried to use Suihe's method, first raising seedlings and then transplanting rice, which was a great trust in Suihe.

So Sui He doesn't want to disappoint Grandpa's trust, so he must succeed.

Not only Suihe was watching, but the villagers of Qingshan Village were also watching. They had never seen Suihe's method before, and they didn't dare to try it. After all, grain seeds were very expensive. They could only wait for Suihe's family to produce results. If the harvest was good, they would follow Suihe's example.

Suihe also knew this, so she didn't ask other people to join her family, nor did she share the seeds with them. When her rice grew and harvested, these villagers would come to her naturally without her having to look for them.

The things in the field can be put aside for now, and next is the work in the field.

That’s right, Suihe’s family not only bought good farmland, but also bought two acres of land at Suihe’s request.

These two days, we repeated the operations of the previous few days, turning the soil and loosening the ground.

She had already thought about the land. One acre of land would be used to grow sweet potatoes, the other acre would be used to grow other things, and the backyard of Chen's house would be used to grow seedlings.

After the land was plowed, Suihe cut two baskets of sweet potato vines from the backyard and used scissors with grandma to cut them into sections of appropriate size.

Grandpa used a hoe to dig out small holes in front, and grandma sprinkled a small amount of plant ash into the holes. Now is not a space, sprinkling some plant ash can not only increase fertilizer, but also effectively prevent some diseases and insect pests.

Sui He followed behind and gently placed the sweet potato vine in his hand horizontally into the pit, then covered it with a layer of soil, leaving only two leaves exposed on the ground.

The villagers of Qingshan Village had never seen sweet potatoes before, so they all came to see the strange sight.

"Brother Chen, are you growing sweet potatoes at home?" Hearing that Suihe's family was growing sweet potatoes, Father Lin came over with his son and everyone in Linjia Village who had eaten sweet potatoes.

When they came, Suihe's family had already planted half of the crops.

"Brother Lin, I saw that the sweet potatoes were growing well, so I saved some for seeds." When Grandpa saw Father Lin coming, he put down the hoe in his hand.

Lin Youxiang walked to Suihe, picked up a vine and looked at it curiously: "Suihe, is this how sweet potatoes are planted? There are only leaves but no roots. Can they survive?"

"Yes, I've tried it, and it can survive this way. There are already some alive in my backyard. Hope, brother. You can go and have a look when the time comes."

"Brother Chen, can I go to your backyard to take a look? To be honest, I also left some, but I don't know how to plant them." When Father Lin heard Sui He say this, he suggested going to Sui He's backyard to take a look.

"Okay, I'll take you there after I finish planting these." Grandpa nodded and agreed. He still had some sweet potato vines in his hand. He had to finish the work in his hands.

"Uncle Chen, I'll help too." Lin Youwang took a hoe and dug a hole with his grandfather. Lin's father's wife Zhao Sujuan and Zhou Guoer stood beside Suihe and planted sweet potatoes together with Suihe's method.

Although Zhou Guoer was puzzled, she also watched it very seriously.

With their participation, one acre of sweet potatoes was planted quickly. After planting the sweet potatoes, Grandpa took everyone from the Lin family to the Chen family.

Not only the people of Linjia Village were curious, but even the natives of Qingshan Village were curious and followed.

Father Lin came to the backyard and saw the sweet potatoes planted by Sui He. Some of the sweet potato vines in the mother field had been harvested, and on the other side were two neat rows of sweet potatoes.

Father Lin squatted in the ground and carefully dug up the soil at the root of one of the plants. After seeing the white roots, he confirmed that it had really taken root in the ground, so he carefully covered it with soil.
