When I got home, Leng Yi came out and opened the door.

"Today I told Mouse that we wanted live cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese, and then I thought we could also raise fish." Yang Qing said to Leng Yi.

"Okay, I'll dig the fish pond." Leng Yi nodded.

"Then you go in and I'll cook." Lu Lin said with a smile.

The two entered the space, "Where do you want to keep the fish pond?" Leng Yi asked.

"Is it better to raise them near the fields?" Yang Qing asked.

After more than a month of growth, the 100 acres of rice planted previously have grown to a very large size, and are green and very beautiful.

"By the way, is the land where the breeding was done before also going to be transplanted?" Yang Qing suddenly thought.

The excellent seeds taken out from the bio-refrigerator germinated and were sown. Now they have grown very tall, but before they can be planted in the fields, they still need to be pulled out and transplanted.

"I'll just come." Leng Yi said.

He has designated an acre of land to grow this batch of rice for breeding.

"Let's go together, you teach me." Yang Qing said, she had never done it before, and she didn't know how to do it at all.

"Okay!" Leng Yi smiled, took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and stretched out his hand, "Come, come to the fields with me."

Yang Qing also took off her shoes, rolled up her trouser legs, and took Leng Yi's men to the field.

The water in the field was a little cold, and my feet sank slightly when I stepped in the mud. The feeling of mud emerging from between my toes was a bit strange.

Yang Qing had never felt this way before.

"There won't be leeches in the fields, right?" Yang Qing suddenly thought.

"Probably not. It's only been a few days since it was able to support living things here. It shouldn't be that fast." Leng Yi shook his head, "The bugs we saw before were probably eggs contained in some vegetable seeds, and they hatched because of the opportunity. .”

"It probably didn't happen for no reason, so if there were no leeches in this field before, they wouldn't appear out of thin air."

"It's okay if you don't have any!" Yang Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was a little fearless, she was most afraid of the molluscs.

Moreover, leeches can also get into people's legs and suck blood, which makes the hairs on your hair stand up just thinking about it.

"Like me, get into the roots and pull up the rice seedlings." Leng Yi explained while demonstrating.

Yang Qing nodded, reached out to pull out the seedlings, and ended up pulling off the leaves directly with force.

"Oh, what should I do? It's broken!" Yang Qing's face turned red.

Leng Yi chuckled, "It's okay, the roots are still there and can still be used. Just lower your hand a little further, hold the stem of the rice and pull it up. Don't go too high."

"Oh!" Yang Qing nodded, his fingers almost stuck in the mud, and he pulled them out, "It's done!"

Leng Yi smiled, "That's it. Put it in your hand first, pull out a handful and put it aside, and then insert it into the field over there later."

Yang Qing nodded. After a few minutes of pulling out, he became proficient. However, he felt sore from bending over all the time.

Yang Qing straightened up and beat his waist with his hands.

"Are you tired?" Leng Yi asked.

"I didn't expect my waist to be so sore." Yang Qing nodded, "It's so hard."

Leng Yi smiled and said, "We are good at this, only so much. Before there were seeders, hundreds of acres of land in the village were planted manually, which was very tiring."

"When it comes to the harvest season, it happens to be the hottest dog days of summer. The sun is shining brightly, and the water is hot from the sun. We have to cut the rice under the bright sun, and the skin is almost exposed to the sun. We sweat like rain, and the clothes are all wet." Soaked."

"It's indeed very hard." Yang Qing frowned, a little afraid to imagine, "You must have had a very hard life before, right?"

Leng Yi smiled faintly, "Fortunately, children from rural areas come here like this. Don't be afraid of physical suffering, the most important thing is mental suffering."

"My stepmother was not nice to me at that time. Even after working in the fields for a day, she didn't treat me well. She would only give my brother the delicious food. No matter how hard and tired I was, I would always pick what was left over from my brother."

"She still calls me useless from time to time. In fact, I have done more than anyone else." Yang Qing suddenly felt a little distressed, "Leng Yi..."

Leng Yi smiled and said, "Fortunately, I met my coach later and took me to the sports school. Later, I was specially recruited into the army. I am actually very lucky."

Leng Yi looked at Yang Qing, his eyes full of tenderness, "I'm even more lucky to have met you, to have a family, and to have such a beautiful and capable wife!"

Yang Qing smiled, but felt a little sad, "The days will definitely get better and better in the future!"

"Well, I believe it!" Leng Yi raised a smile, his eyes sparkling.

Soon, all the rice seedlings were pulled out. Leng Yi loaded the seedlings in a bamboo basket and walked to the field, where he planted them in the specially designated land.

Yang Qing watched from the side without any assistance. His seedlings were inserted in rows flat and straight. He was really a good farmer at planting crops.

An acre of land was quickly finished, and Yang Ting heard Lu Lin calling for dinner outside.

"Let's go eat!" Yang Qing called Leng Yi.

The two of them washed their hands and feet by the ditch and left the space together.

After dinner, the three of them went into the space to dig a fish pond.

"How big should we dig?" Yang Qing asked.

"Let's dig half an acre of land first, and then dig more if we can grow more. Anyway, there is still so much land here." Leng Yi said.

"Half an acre is more than 300 square meters, it's big enough." Lu Lin said, "We don't know how many fish the rat can find for us by then."

"It's okay if the pond is bigger. If it's smaller, just dig another one." Leng Yi said, taking three hoes and instructing the two of them how to dig.

"How deep should we dig?" Lu Lin asked.

"One meter is enough for ordinary rice field fish ponds," Leng Yi said. "If it is the kind of fish pond specially used for fishing, the deepest point should be three to four meters."

"Then let's dig one meter!" Yang Qing said, and the three of them started digging.

Leng Yi dug very quickly. Neither Yang Qing nor Lu Lin had done it before. It didn't take long for his hands to get blisters.

"It hurts!" the two cried. They didn't expect that even digging in the ground would be so difficult.

"You guys rest, I'll dig." Leng Yi smiled, "You have never done farm work, your hands are too tender, and they will be worn out after a few times of friction with the hoe."

"Go back and apply some medicine. It's best not to get wet these days."

"Oh!" Yang Qing responded, "Didn't your skin break when you worked in the past?"

"Of course." Leng Yi said while digging. "If it breaks, you still have to keep working. If you do it too much, calluses will form on your palms, and it won't hurt in the future."

Yang Qing and Lu Lin looked at each other, it's not easy for farmers.

After the fish pond was dug, Leng Yi brought water from the nearby canal and filled the fish pond.

"Can we raise fish in this way?" Lu Lin was a little excited looking at the fish pond.

"Well, that's enough." Leng Yi nodded, "That's right here. If it's outside, the newly dug fish pond must be exposed to the sun and disinfected with medicine, otherwise the fish will easily get sick and die."

"Can fish also get sick?" This was the first time Lu Lin heard about it.

"Of course." Leng Yi nodded, "Some fish farming professionals did not properly disinfect the fish ponds and the fish died in pieces, causing heavy losses."

"The same goes for raising chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep. Don't you think that they can grow up as long as you raise them? Sometimes the whole army will be wiped out when encountering plague."

"People in the past didn't have the concept of insurance, and they would lose everything once they encountered something. Later, with experience, I learned to buy insurance. If everyone died, I could still recover some losses."

"It's the same for all farming operations, including those that raise shrimp, those that raise eels, those that raise crabs."

Yang Qing and Lu Lin nodded, Leng Yi knew so much.
