After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

When Fang Tong's family returned to the village, they rolled up their sleeves and went to work in the fields.

Spraying pesticides five times a day is also very tiring.

They first fetched water, soaked the wood ash, and sprinkled it one spoonful at a time using a gourd ladle.

Sprinkle evenly and don't sprinkle too much at once.

After pouring the wood ash water, pour it again with the medicine juice mixed with water.

Anyway, it's a time-consuming and laborious day. It's mostly women and elderly people who do the work, and they almost stay in the fields all the time.

The men are also busy, planting rice in the paddy fields.

Fang Nanzhi did it twice and her wrists ached from exhaustion.

She rubbed her wrist and asked the system curiously in her heart.

"Brother System, how did the plane that developed the fungicide spread the pesticide?"

System: "According to development, fungicides have been eliminated. They directly improve seeds to make them have various antibacterial properties and are resistant to waterlogging and drought."

what?

So why give her the seeds...

"But that kind of wheat contains a lot of chemical additives and isn't suitable for your world. It might even backfire and pollute the soil."

Fang Nanzhi opened his mouth wide and touched the hard yellow soil.

"Aren't they afraid of pollution?"

System explanation: "Their geological composition is different from yours. The soil here is closer to the original."

Fang Nanzhi scratched his head, not quite understanding what he meant.

"Then how did they use fungicides before they were eliminated?"

"Usually, it uses a shower spray method." The system put a picture in her mind, similar to a fountain, and it can rotate 360 ​​degrees.

Fang Nanzhi was a little envious because it didn't require any manpower at all.

"This method is a bit difficult for the host to use. Before, people generally used taps for watering."

Without waiting for the little girl to ask, the system said ruthlessly: "But the host can no longer use it."

"Apart from that, a more laborious method is to use a spray bottle to spray pesticides." The system put the image of the spray bottle in Fang Nanzhi's mind again.

The little girl's eyes lit up: "This spray bottle is white, what material is it made of?"

"It's plastic. The host can use a bamboo tube instead." The system finally gave practical suggestions.

After asking carefully about the principle of the spray bottle, Fang Nanzhi took note of it and went to find his father happily.

"Dad! Dad! Dad! Help me make something."

Fang Tong had just carried two loads of water and his shoulders were aching from the weight. When he heard his daughter calling him, he immediately put down the load.

"doing what?"

Fang Tong and his daughter left, leaving Tiezhu with a resentful look on his face.

The two brothers had agreed to take turns carrying water, but he had already carried it seven or eight times, and Tongzi was lazy again.

Alas, they always bully honest people.

The father and daughter returned to the yard, first found a very thick bamboo tube, and sawed it in half.

Fang Tong also polished the outside of the bamboo tube.

Fang Nanzhi found a thin bamboo tube, measured it for a long time, and then drew a circle on the wall of the thick bamboo tube.

Her father dug a hole along the circle.

After trying it, the thin bamboo tube was tilted and fit in just right.

Then he found three bamboo rings of different thicknesses that could just fit together and put them on the thin bamboo tube.

Start drilling small holes.

This is the spout of the watering can.

"Dad, get another handle." Fang Nanzhi commanded.

Fang Tong nodded, and he simply broke off a piece of bamboo, bent it slightly, and fixed it on the bamboo tube with a wooden nail.

Fang Nanzhi poured water into it, then held the handle and tilted it slightly, and water sprayed out from the spout.

And the small holes control the amount of water, so you don't have to worry about spilling too much at once.

Fang Tong thought it was good, but he was worried that the spout would slip out.

After thinking about it, he found a rope, tied it around the spout of the kettle, and fixed it to the kettle body, so that there would be a pulling force.

Fang Tong also tried it out and said, "Not bad, not bad. This saves effort and is convenient. Wait, I'll make one for your mother too."

Fang Nanzhi nodded happily.

Wait until the little girl runs back to the field with two watering cans and gives one to her mother.

It is indeed much more convenient for the mother and daughter to spray pesticides using a spray bottle, and many people are curious.

Mrs. Chen also came over to try it.

"Did the third brother make this? He's quite skillful."

"That's a good idea. I have a heavy hand, so when I use a bucket to splash water, everything always spills. This spray bottle is very convenient."

Others also praised it.

So, a group of men surrounded Fang Tong and asked him what to do.

Fang Tong stood on a big rock with his hands on his hips, talking to everyone incessantly.

He also praised his daughter's intelligence and her dexterity.

The entire morning was wasted like this, and Tiezhu, who had been busy carrying water, was so resentful that his anger became materialized.

Fang Tong patted his shoulder and said, "That's right, Tiezhu. I asked someone to bring some meat. Come to my house for lunch."

"Bring your wife along."

Tiezhu nodded: "Yes, you will fetch water in the afternoon."

Don't think he will be soft-hearted.

Fang Tong smiled foolishly: "Isn't Goudan coming over here?"

Among the brothers, Cheng Xiaohu has no land, Erwa's family only has paddy fields, and Tiezhu doesn't have much land because he moved out of the family.

Sun Dacheng and Goudan had to go back to their own land to work first.

However, Goudan and his grandfather didn't have many dry fields, so they finished spraying the pesticides in just a few days.

Come here to help every day.

Tiezhu sighed: "Are you going to treat us brothers like donkeys?"

"Am I that kind of person? In the afternoon, you two go and supervise the temporary workers planting rice, and I'll take care of the wheat fields." Fang Tong patted his chest.

Although he likes to be lazy, he knows when to be lazy.

Tiezhu breathed a sigh of relief.

The big pork noodles we had for lunch were made by Qian Fengping herself, and were served with chives and minced garlic. They were so delicious.

Fang Nanzhi ate two bowls of soup, which made his stomach so full that he could only burp.

"It's not like you haven't eaten before, kid." Qian Fengping rubbed her belly.

Fang Nanzhi smiled foolishly: "What Mom cooked today is especially delicious."

Fang Tong looked over while picking his teeth and said, "Then from now on, before you eat, you carry three buckets of water. I guarantee that every meal will be this delicious."

When you are tired, nothing tastes good.

The little girl ignored him and refused to let her mother rub her belly. She took her straw hat and walked out.

"Mom, I'm going to watch the fishing."

The fish are from their pond.

Fang Tong had asked the village chief for a favor. After the silt in the pond was dug out, he started planting lotus flowers and releasing fish fry.

Over the years, the pond has been producing lotus pods and fish regularly.

When the busy farming season comes, Fang Tong takes the lead in fishing.

It can be used to add to dishes and feed temporary workers.

This way the meal contains meat and you save money on buying meat.

"Go ahead, your brother Yaozu is by the pond, go play with him, don't go into the water." Qian Fengping instructed.

Du Yaozu, the eldest grandson of the village chief and the son of Chen.

Ever since he quit being a carpenter apprentice a few years ago and insisted on following Fang Tong, Fang Tong handed over the pond management to him.

Every year I am responsible for buying fish fry, catching fish, digging lotus roots, etc.

In addition, there are some jobs selling yam and sugar-roasted chestnuts to restaurants in the county.

These were all complicated and trivial tasks, and Fang Tong had no time to take care of them. However, Du Yaozu was a serious and hardworking guy, and he was careful and never made any mistakes.

Two years ago, Fang Tong took 10% of the profits from these small businesses and gave it to Du Yaozu as wages.

In this way, he made a lot of money.

Sometimes a month’s income is more than the whole family’s annual income.

The old village chief kept talking about how successful his eldest grandson was and how good his vision was, and he was grateful to Fang Tong in his heart.

Fang Nanzhi responded casually and ran away.
