Chapter 861: 877: The son is unreliable Chapter 861: 877: The son is unreliable
Yang Chunyan, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were prying seedlings in the rapeseed field, while Zhou Huaian and his sons went to the field next door to dig holes and trenches to make beds.
Transplanting rapeseed into rice fields generally requires digging deep furrows. The side furrows have already been plowed when the field was harrowed. Now you just need to dig the soil on both sides and dig the side furrows deep to prevent the soil from being too wet on rainy days and affecting the root development of the rapeseed seedlings.

Zhou Huaian felt that the old man and his brothers were rigid and inflexible. They did not consider that there was rarely any heavy rain after the rainy season, so the ditches plowed by the tractor were enough, and digging ditches was a sheer waste of effort.

I kept muttering to myself but didn't dare to say a word.

Father Zhou took a look at the ditch he had dug and said, "Youngest brother, your ditch is too shallow. What if the water doesn't flow out when it rains?"

Zhou Huaian then realized that he had already put it into action, and said with a smile: "Old man, there is less rain after the rainy season, I don't think we need to dig so deep, just repair the plowed furrows.

I'm just making a suggestion! I'll do whatever you say." After he said that, he looked at him and immediately retreated and moved to help pull the rapeseed seedlings over there.

"No one can predict what God will do. The worst thing to do when planting crops is to be lazy. If you don't dig twice now, it will be troublesome if it rains heavily." Zhou's father looked at him and said, "Why are you doing that? I'm not going to eat you!"

"Haha! I thought you were going to scold me again!"

"You are an old man already, why should I scold you for no reason!" Father Zhou glared at him, picked up the hoe and started digging.

Zhou Huaian curled his lips: Didn't you scold me enough before? Have you forgotten when I used to serve you with a pipe?

Over there, Yang Chunyan, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pulled out the rapeseed seedlings from a field, and there were still many weak seedlings left in the field.

Seeing that the pit in the nearby field had been dug, the sisters-in-law gently picked up the rapeseed seedlings, put them in baskets, and carried them to the field.

Zhao Huifang and Zhang Xiuxiang carried baskets filled with soil and fertilizer, and kept putting small amounts of soil and fertilizer into the dug holes. Yang Chunyan and Li Qiuyue carried rapeseed seedlings and put them into the holes.

When transplanting rapeseed seedlings, choose those with thick root stems, plant straight-root seedlings instead of curved-root seedlings, and plant strong seedlings instead of weak seedlings.

When planting rapeseed seedlings, straighten the seedlings against one side of the pit, keep the roots straight and the leaves spread out, and then compact the soil.

It is best to plant rapeseed seedlings on a cloudy day like this. After planting, water them once to help them take root. It takes more than eight acres of land and more than a dozen people two days to water them all.

Zhou Huaian looked at the time and shouted to his mother, "Mom, it's eleven o'clock. Go back and cook."

He was a little anxious. It was already late and Ding Ding Mao had not come back yet. It seemed that he had gone to the Wan family to discuss treatment with his brothers-in-law.

"Okay, I'll go back right away." Zhou's mother walked to the edge of the field and saw that Wan Xuejiao and her parents were still in the two fields over there. She began to murmur in her heart.
