Chapter 965: Old Nie's Trouble!

Entering May, the temperature in Saibei has finally risen!

Although you can occasionally feel the wind with a bit of chill, most of the time, the breeze blowing by is extremely gentle.

Very suddenly, all the members, educated youth, men, women, adults and children, changed into thick cotton clothes and trousers, and the equipment on their bodies became much lighter.

What's more important is that the treetops are green.

Everything reminds the village members that spring in Saibei is coming!

For people in the city, spring just means that the weather is getting warmer and that spring flowers are blooming and you can go out for a walk.

But for the people in rural areas, spring means spring plowing and hope!

In fact, since the land melted slightly in April, the people in the village have been preparing for spring plowing.

Raising the "dung base", delivering dung, spreading dung, plowing and leveling the land, this busy work lasts a month!

Originally, according to local customs, wheat was planted around Qingming, millet during Grain Rain, and potatoes at Beginning of Summer.

However, due to some special circumstances this year, the temperature has not completely recovered.

So after Zhou Yang and Wang Ping discussed it, they decided to push back the planting time a little to avoid being frozen to death just after germination.

Therefore, while other villages were busy farming, the members of Babaoliang Village were constantly sending manure to the fields, plowing the land, and leveling the fields.

Then they concentrated manpower and material resources on digging wells and canals throughout the village, but they never moved the columbians to sow the seeds.

Some members did have doubts about this at first, but when they heard that this was Zhou Yang's request, everyone put their doubts in their hearts out of trust in him.

At present, most villages have sown the "big date" crops, and the spring plowing in Babaoliang Village has just started, which is more than half a month late.

You know, for crops, planting half a month late is completely different from planting half a month early.

If it is too late, it is likely that the crops will not mature in time in the autumn and will freeze to death, resulting in a reduction in grain production.

Therefore, the strange behavior of Babaoliang Village and even the Babaoliang Brigade has aroused heated discussion among many people.

However, the people in the village didn't care what others said, and had been waiting for Zhou Yang's arrangements with peace of mind!

On May 2, Zhou Yang felt that the temperature had almost risen.

Even if they are planted now, the seedlings will not emerge for the time being. Even if there is any abnormality in the temperature, it will not affect the germination of the seeds.

Therefore, after the examination for selecting teachers in the village was over, he informed Wang Ping that spring plowing could be organized.

Afterwards, Wang Ping immediately carried out a grand mobilization, and then gave an order, and all the educated youth members of the two production teams gathered on the fields and started spring plowing.

In order to ensure that they can be planted in time, all the feed mills and bone meal factories in the village have stopped production, and even the primary school has temporarily suspended classes.

All the educated youth members and school teachers went to the fields to participate in spring plowing.

For a time, almost everyone in Babaoliang Village went into battle and launched a vigorous spring plowing battle!

Small river bay in the south of the village!

Zhou Yang and Liu Yunlong were walking on the small dirt road in the fields, followed by Wang Ping, Zhang Genwang and others.

And not far away, there are the members of the commune shaking columbusters and sowing seeds.

"How much land in the village is still unplanted?"

After all, spring plowing is related to everyone's food problem. Even if Zhou Yang is only a nominal production captain, he still attaches great importance to this matter.

Wang Ping immediately said: "For wheat, the only land left is Xiaohewan. It is expected to be finished tomorrow. For millet, there are still more than 300 acres!"

"Where's the corn?"

"The sowing of corn has not started yet, but it is expected to be almost finished by the beginning of summer!"

"Well, we need to speed up so as not to delay planting potatoes and beets!" Zhou Yang said.

"Okay! There are a lot of mules, horses and oxen left in the village this year. With these big animals, we can do anything quickly," Wang Ping said.

"Be careful when applying chemical fertilizers, don't be reluctant, but don't apply too much, otherwise the crops will be burned to death!" Zhou Yang said again.

"I asked them to add fertilizers and seeds strictly according to the requirements, and there shouldn't be any problems!"

At this moment, Zhang Genwang suddenly said: "Zhou Zhiqing, I went to my daughter's house yesterday. When I passed by Sandaoqu, Xiaochengzi, and Zhangjiacun, I saw that the crops in their fields had sprouted.

,Are we a little late?"

Zhou Yang said calmly: "If you plant it early, it will definitely be good, but if you plant it late, it won't necessarily be bad!"

After hearing Zhang Genwang's words, Zhou Yang didn't want to say anything except sighing.

The county and commune have issued documents and held meetings many times, informing the production teams below that they can appropriately postpone the sowing time, and also requesting that crops that are cold and drought tolerant be planted as much as possible.

But the people in some villages think they are experienced and don't listen at all.

Most of the crops that can sprout at this time, except wheat, are not cold-tolerant.

As long as the temperature changes slightly, the consequences will be serious.

But Zhou Yang can't control this kind of thing. After all, he has already done what he can do.

"Comrade Zhou Yang, I estimate that our village will be almost completely planted in another half month. Should we continue to build houses next?" Wang Ping said.

"The house will definitely be built. In addition to the feed mill and bone meal factory, we also have to build a new pig pen. However, during the construction period, the rodent eradication cannot be left behind and must continue!"

Although the number of rats in the village dropped sharply during this period, in the past, if one hundred rat traps were placed, almost 80 rats could be caught in one night, but now there are only twenty or thirty rats at most.

However, this is still far from the standard for eliminating hemorrhagic fever, so the rodent eradication campaign must continue.

Otherwise, with the powerful reproductive ability of rats, it will not take long to return to its original state.

"To get rid of rats, why don't we raise some cats!" Wang Ping said.

"Are the villagers willing?" Zhou Yang asked.

Many people think that there must be many cats and dogs in rural areas, but in fact this is not the case.

Take Babaoliang Village as an example, there are actually not many cats and dogs.

The reason is simple - poverty!

Because I was poor and had nothing to eat, I couldn't afford to feed the cats and dogs.

Because we were poor, we didn’t have any extra food at home, and we would cry when mice came, asking for cats and dogs!

"It shouldn't be a big problem. Our village is not what it used to be. After experiencing that disease, there should be many people willing to support him!"

Then Wang Ping continued: "Besides, if the members are not willing to feed them, our production team can also feed them. We can still afford this little food."

"OK"

Just as he was talking, a strong wind suddenly blew by, and the sky was filled with loess in an instant!

After the dust cleared, everyone was dusty!

Ning City is at the center of the storm, and the environment is seriously damaged. In spring, there is a lot of wind and sand.

Fortunately, the people living here are used to it. When the wind blows, they turn their backs to take shelter.

As soon as the wind stops, continue to call the animals and move forward with the columbine!

However, Zhou Yang smelled a faint smell of rain from the dust, and then felt the wind direction, which turned out to be southeasterly.

He first patted the dust on his body, and then said worriedly to Wang Ping and others: "It may rain this afternoon, and the temperature may drop in the evening, so members should be careful and don't catch a cold!"

"Uh, will it rain due to the strong wind?" Wang Ping asked in surprise.

"Listen to me, you can't be wrong!" Zhou Yang said.

Zhang Genwang, who was on the side and had more experience, said while smoking a dry smoke pot: "Listen to Zhou Zhiqing, it rains around this time every year!"

"OK!"

Afterwards, Zhou Yang did not stay in the fields for long, but returned to the village with Liu Yunlong.

After returning to the research institute, Zhou Yang immediately called the county government!
