Chapter 58

Except for Zhang Moyuan and Lin Yanshi's long robes, everyone else made two pieces that are separated from the top and bottom, which is more convenient to move around.

In fact, Lin Yan is also used to the two-piece style, but now that he has a big belly, it is more convenient to wear this kind of robe.

Brother Lin said, "Yan'er and his second child just made two new clothes, why do you do it again", but there was a satisfied smile on his face.

Usually he and Apa Lin are the most economical in the family, but this time Apa Lin is more generous than anyone else.

"After all, it's New Year's Eve, a big day that comes once a year. In the past, our family closed the door every year to hide, and we were disgraced. This year, we earned money and made new clothes. We are all decent."

Brother Lin nodded, "Father is right."

New Year's Eve this day.

Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Lin, gets up early in the morning to be busy, scrubbing and washing the house and the outside.

Zhang Moyuan was in charge of writing couplets and blessing characters. After finishing writing, the three elder brothers took them to paste on the doors, and Du Yuan took Hai Bei to paste window grilles in each house.

Lin Yan is the most leisurely, he walks around at a leisurely pace, helps his brothers check the couplets, and then goes to tease Hai Bei for a while.

Uncle Yuan came in with two couplets, and said a little nervously, "Brother Yan, is Scholar Zhang at home?"

Lin Yan nodded, "It's in the room, uncle, do you want to ask him to write a pair?"

Uncle Yuan nodded, "Yes, Scholar Zhang is a person who has read books, unlike us, he can't even hold a pen."

In the past, Zhang Moyuan didn't walk around the village very often, and everyone didn't dare to bother him. They always asked the old scholar in the town to write, but this year is different.

Because of the incident at the seaside, Zhang Moyuan and the villagers got closer and closer.

"Moyuan is inside, uncle, go in."

Uncle Yuan walked to the door, stared at the pair just pasted, and asked curiously, "Are these written by Scholar Zhang?"

"Yes."

Uncle Yuan couldn't read it at all, but he seemed to write better than the old scholar in the town.

Zhang Moyuan took the paper in his hand and asked, "Uncle, what do you want to write?"

Uncle Yuan smiled awkwardly, "How do I know this, you just watch and write, as long as you write, it's fine."

Zhang Moyuan thought for a while, then laid out the paper and wrote.

Soon a couple of pairs will be written.

Uncle Yuan exclaimed, "Okay, that's great."

Then he took out ten coins from his sleeve, and the old scholar in the town wrote five coins for a pair. He thought that Scholar Zhang was more expensive, so he added ten coins.

Zhang Moyuan saw what he meant, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you don't need the money, it's just the folks in the village helping you out, and it's not troublesome."

Uncle Yuan was stunned for a moment, "How embarrassing."

Zhang Moyuan handed him the pair that had been aired, "Uncle, the pair is ready, you take it."

Seeing that he really didn't intend to take money, Uncle Yuan took the pair and said gratefully, "Thank you, Scholar Zhang."

"You are Welcome."

Uncle Yuan went home happily with his pair.

Aunt Wang also came after a while, Zhang Moyuan still didn't take money, and wrote a couple.

Both families posted the pair written by Zhang Moyuan on the gate, and passers-by could see it at a glance.

So more and more people came to Zhang Moyuan to write pairs, and Zhang Moyuan didn't refuse, and wrote them all.

The family was busy until the afternoon, and they just ate a little for lunch. After the busy work, they started making dumplings.

Meat and vegetables are cooked in the spicy pot on the table, and dumplings are cooked in the clear water pot next to it. The whole family sits around and eats the reunion dinner.

Father Lin's face flushed with joy.

Now that Lin Yan has a big belly, it's a bit inconvenient to pick up vegetables, but this doesn't affect his eating at all, after all, everyone in the family picks up vegetables for him.

After eating, Zhang Moyuan got some firecrackers from somewhere, and the whole village came to watch the explosions.

As soon as the third year of junior high was over, Aunt Lin began to ask for a midwife for Lin Yan, and the doctor he had seen in the town also came to Jiahe Village to check Lin Yan's pulse from time to time.

Every time he comes, Brother Linsan is responsible for picking him up.

"Father, don't be so anxious, there are still one or two months."

Lin Yan estimated that his due date was at the end of March and the beginning of April, and now it is only February, so there is at least a month or so.

Aunt Lin gave him a sharp look, "You don't know, it's difficult for my brother to give birth, this is the first time for you, if you don't pay more attention to it, you will have troubles in the future."

Lin Yan thought it made sense.

This is not the modern age. If you can't give birth naturally, you can still have a caesarean section, and the success rate is extremely high.

He doesn't have these conditions in this era.

Thinking about it this way, he didn't dare to be sloppy anymore, and he did what the doctor told him, meticulously.

Father Lin is very satisfied with his "upper way".

In terms of busyness, the busiest person in the family these days must be Zhang Moyuan.

The rice seeds will be planted in April, and now is the last critical moment. Whether it will be successful or not depends on the present.

When he went to Yuan Province earlier, he made an agreement with the person sent to him by the Yuan Province State Governor to come to Jiahe Village to help after the New Year's Eve.

Letter a few days ago, they are already on the way.

These people are local peasants in Yuan Province. They have cultivated paddy fields all their lives and have rich experience in this field, but rice farming by the sea is still their blind spot.

This time when they came over, the Yuan Province State Governor asked them to learn by the way, and to try it at the seaside when they returned.

They are all political achievements, which official would refuse?

The most important thing Zhang Moyuan did last year was to flush the salt in the soil. After the drainage station was built, this process has been accelerated a lot.

After several months of washing, the salt content in the soil has been greatly reduced. These days, Zhang Moyuan is selecting seedling sites.

The selection of nursery land is very critical, only with seedlings can rice be grown.

Also, do some research on how to fertilize.

Lin Yan has been thinking about this matter recently.

"Fertilize?"

Zhang Moyuan was very interested in these two words.

Lin Yan nodded, "The land by the sea itself is not suitable for paddy fields, so we must add some fertilizer to the seedlings so that the rice can grow."

Zhang Moyuan glanced at him, and said meaningfully: "Is this what you read from the book?"

Lin Yan froze for a moment.

Zhang Moyuan chuckled lightly, and continued: "You're kidding, go ahead and talk about how to fertilize?"

He knew that there must be a secret in Lin Yan. After all, it was easy to reclaim land from the sea, but fertilizing it was a bit strange.

I talked to those experienced farmers before, but didn't hear them talk about what kind of fertilizer to add. It all depends on the harvest.

But Zhang Moyuan didn't intend to delve into it, maybe one day Lin Yan would be willing to tell him.

Lin Yan regained his composure, and continued: "From the book, it is a method called composting, and the main raw materials are human, chicken, duck and pig excrement."

Zhang Moyuan showed some surprise, "Is the excrement what I understand?"

"Yes." Lin Yan nodded, "First spread a thick layer of dry fine soil, then mix human and animal excrement with water, and pile it up for a while to use. However, the seaside land is special, and fertilization requires a small amount and a lotAgain, you can’t put it all in at once.”

"From now on, it's time to pile up the rice seeds."

"Besides, add some eggshells, shrimp shells, crab shells, and shells to the soil, which are also good for the growth of rice."

These kinds of husks are natural phosphorus fertilizers, which are very helpful for the growth of rice in saline-alkali land.

However, before use, it needs to be washed, exposed to the sun for sterilization, and finally crushed and sprinkled on the surface of the soil.

Zhang Moyuan asked some more details, and then took a pen to write a detailed plan.

"Okay, take a break and leave the rest to me."

Lin Yan nodded, "OK."

The next day, everyone in Jiahe Village was busy.

Zhang Moyuan took the village chief and the others to find an open place and start composting.

"What, dung, dung water?" The village chief thought he heard it wrong.

Zhang Moyuan hummed, and said something completely inconsistent with his temperament, "It's the excrement in the latrine."

The village head opened his eyes wide, "That thing can be used, but can the rice grown be eaten?"

Zhang Moyuan naturally trusted Lin Yan a hundred times, and explained: "This is the method that Yan'er read from the book, and it works."

As soon as he heard that it was Lin Yan's idea from the book, the village chief immediately stopped talking.

For them, the book is the most sacred thing, so what can be wrong in the book?

Thus, the massive composting in Jiahe Village began.

Starting from sifting the fine soil, every household transports their feces here with wooden buckets, and mixes them with water according to the proportion.

For more than ten days, an indescribable smell wafted over Jiahe Village.

When Wang Xiu came to deliver the meat, he almost failed Xun.

"Brother Yan, what are you doing in your village? What's the smell like?"

Lin Yan smiled, "It's compost. The rice seeds on the seaside are about to start to fall. Let's make some compost first to use in the future."

Jiahe Village has never deliberately concealed the matter of reclamation from the sea for land reclamation. There are so many people busy at the seaside every day, but they can't hide it if they want to.

So several nearby villages including the town know about it.

And everyone knew that it was Lin Yan and Zhang Moyuan who led the way.

Wang Xiu showed an incredulous expression, "This fat is so smelly, can it be used, and that rice is something to eat."

In the past few days, Lin Yan and Zhang Moyuan were asked similar questions from time to time, and they got used to answering them.

"It works."

Wang Xiu left with a delicate expression.

Du Yuan covered his nose and said in a low voice, "Yan'er, how long will Xiao Zhang and my father be together?"

"Soon, these few days will be over."

Du Yuan sighed, "I've been so overwhelmed by the taste these days that I can't eat it. Do you think I've lost weight?"

Lin Yan took a closer look at his small face, it seemed that he had really lost weight.

In fact, it's not just him, the whole family has been like this for more than ten days. Although Zhang Moyuan looks calm, he is obviously also affected.

One of the manifestations is to take a bath twice a day.

Come back at noon for lunch and come back at night.

Fortunately, the composting is finally over, and the air in Jiahe Village is slowly returning to freshness.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, although the composting process is painful, everyone is happy again when they think that rice seeds can be planted immediately, and the fertilizer can make the seedlings grow better.

After the composting was over, a few peasants from Yuan Province also arrived. After all, they had received the order from the State Governor, so they still learned a lot.

It's just that when they heard about the method of composting, several people still looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Scholar Zhang, where did this idea come from? We've never heard of it."

Zhang Moyuan smiled, "My wife read it from the book."

The expressions of several people became even more incredible.

They are different from the people in Jiahe Village, they have no admiration filter for Lin Yan, and they feel that their own farming experience is much more than the people here.

Including the Scholar Zhang who is highly respected by their State Governor.

So for the method of composting that Jiahe Village invented by themselves, a few people didn't take it seriously, and even sighed the word "nonsense" in their hearts.

Zhang Moyuan saw their disdain, but he didn't want to say more, pretending not to see it.

With the help of several farmers, Zhang Moyuan finalized the seedling land, and then began to focus on sorting out the selected seedling land.

Sometimes Lin Yan would go over to have a look, but Du Yuan was worried and followed him closely every time.

"Yan'er, there are so many rocks by the sea, you better not go there."

Lin Yan was thin, so his belly wasn't too big, but Du Yuan was very nervous because he was about to give birth.

Lin Yan comforted him with a smile, "It's okay, I'm really worried, I have to come and take a look, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night."

This was of course a joke. Zhang Moyuan would tell him the progress of the beach every day when he went home, and then the two of them would discuss the next steps.

Lin Yan was just curious.

However, he didn't look at it for too long. The wind at the seaside is strong, and if it blows for a long time, it is easy to catch wind and cold, which will be troublesome.

February has been a busy month, and time is quickly moving into March.

Father Lin made the decision to suspend the takeaway, Brother Lin and Brother Lin went to work at the beach, and everyone else stayed at home to watch over Lin Yan.

The two midwives simply stayed at home, waiting for Lin Yan to activate at any time.

The doctor from the town later was also taken back by Brother Linsan, and the family couldn't fit in. Brother Lin and sister-in-law Lin moved back to the original Lin's house temporarily.

But they only stayed there for one night, and Mrs. Lin stayed here during the day.

Zhang Moyuan ran at both ends of the house by the sea, and spent most of the time at home, only going to have a look when he had no other choice.

Lin Yan was fine, he could eat and sleep.

The last day of March.

After Lin Yan finished eating, he asked the doctor to take his pulse. The doctor looked very serious, "It's only been a few days, you should pay more attention to yourself."

Lin Yan nodded, and walked slowly in the yard while supporting his stomach as usual.

Du Yuan and Aunt Lin were protecting him, and Father Lin was making soup for him in the house.

The doctor said that it should not be overdone, otherwise it will be difficult to give birth, so Aunt Lin prepared only ordinary egg soup.

Hai Bei also wandered around the yard.

Hi Shell asked curiously, "Brother, when will Xiaowa Sen come out?"

Hai Bei shook his head, "I don't know, the doctor said it's just a few days."

Hi Shell nodded seriously, not sure if he understood.

He was holding a round wooden ball in his hand, which was given by Carpenter Tang when Brother Lin went to break furniture.

Lin Yan clapped his hands at him and said loudly, "Hike, kick the ball over to my uncle."

Hai Shell immediately put the ball on the ground and kicked it skillfully with his little feet.

He has played this game with Lin Yan countless times, and he has long been proficient in it.

At the beginning, I couldn't kick it away at all, but now I can kick it a long way.

Hai Bei went over to make up for it, and the wooden ball rolled smoothly to Lin Yan's feet.

It was a little difficult for Lin Yan to lift his leg now, so he just moved his foot slightly, but the wooden ball was relatively light, so he kicked it a short distance.

Du Yuan followed behind him, watching cheerfully.

Lin Yan always said that he could do these activities even when he was pregnant, but he always thought it was unreliable.

But Lin Yan did it so many times and it was fine, so he gradually believed it.

Lin Yan played with Hai Bei and Haike for a while, and stopped when he got a little enthusiastic.

"Stop playing, go back..."

Du Yuan wondered, "What's wrong?"

Lin Yan felt it subtly for a while, and was sure that his stomach really hurt more and more.

He grabbed Du Yuan's hand and said as calmly as possible: "Yuan'er, call the midwife quickly, I'm afraid I'm about to give birth."

"what?"

Du Yuan almost didn't jump up, "Yes, you are going to give birth?"

"It should be, call Dad for me."

Du Yuan nodded in a panic, turned around and ran to the door, shouting at the top of his voice, "Daddy, daddy, come quickly, Yan'er is about to give birth."

The next moment there was a bang in the room, as if something had hit the ground.

Mrs. Lin ran out first, "Is going to give birth? Hurry up, help Yan'er into the house."

Father Lin came out to look at Lin Yan, and immediately went to the backyard to call the doctor and midwife.

Hai Bei and Haike wandered around, and no one cared about them.

After Lin Yan entered the house, Mrs. Lin went out and arrested a passing villager, and entrusted them to go to the beach to call back all the men in the family.

Coincidentally, there is something wrong, Brother Zhang Moyuan and Lin have all gone out, and they may have just arrived at the beach at this moment.

Then he ran in again.

The villager who received his entrustment saw a few men running towards the beach before he even reached the beach.

"Scholar Zhang, your brother Yan..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Moyuan interrupted him, "Is it going to give birth?"

As soon as he arrived at the beach, he felt that something was wrong, his heart beat fast, and he always felt that something was about to happen.

After holding back for a while, he still couldn't hold it back, so he turned around and ran back. When the brothers saw his appearance, they didn't even need to ask, they just followed him.

So the person who sent the letter saw the scene just now.

"Yes, your family said that my brother is about to give birth, you should go back quickly."

"Thank you."

After simply saying thank you, Zhang Moyuan continued to run back.

People passing by were startled when they saw this scene. How could Scholar Zhang, who has always been gentle like a fairy, be so flustered?

As soon as Zhang Moyuan entered the house, he ran into the house, but was grabbed by Father Lin outside, "Xiao Zhang, you can't go in."

Zhang Moyuan collected himself, "Father, how is Yan'er?"

"The doctor said it will take a while, don't worry, there are two midwives inside, it's fine."

He said he was fine, but Father Lin's hands were shaking slightly, and he didn't even realize it.

Although he had given birth three times, and one of them was an extremely dangerous twin, his own birth was different from Lin Yansheng's.

Father Lin felt distressed and flustered.

Sister Lin held his hand and comforted him, "Don't panic, Father, Brother Yan will be fine."

"Ok."

Listening to the movement inside, Zhang Moyuan turned pale.

He had never been so flustered, and he didn't even know what to do now.

Very dazed, but more worried.

I was worried that Lin Yan inside would suffer, and suffer a lot.

Brother Lin patted him on the shoulder and said nothing.

After an unknown amount of time, a baby's cry finally came from inside, which was very loud.

Du Yuan was the first to shout, "It's born, Yan'er is born."

Next was Mrs. Lin, who held Apa Lin's hand tightly, "Dad, did you hear that Yan'er was born?"

Father Lin said incoherently: "Listen, I heard, I heard."

Zhang Moyuan finally let out a sigh of relief.

it's over.

Afterwards, Lin Yan's consciousness became less clear, and he fell asleep when he was too tired.

It was already noon the next day when he woke up.

The room is very quiet, and the voice of whispering outside can be heard faintly.Lin Yan stared at the bed curtain for a long time before he remembered that he had just given birth to a baby.

Where is the little doll?

As soon as he moved, Zhang Moyuan at the table immediately came over, and said softly, "Yan'er, are you awake?"

Lin Yan hissed softly, it hurt so much.

Zhang Moyuan quickly supported him, "You can't move now, you need to rest for a while."

Lin Yan lay back down again, "Where's the child?"

"The child's father and sister-in-law are watching. White rice porridge and fish soup are cooked in the pot. Do you want to eat?"

Lin Yan nodded, he needs to recover his strength now.

The doctor also gave him a prescription for recuperation.

Zhang Moyuan opened the door, "Father, Yan'er is awake."

Father Lin rushed in with a look of surprise, followed by Mrs. Lin and Du Yuan, and Hai Bei and Haike also squeezed into the room desperately.

It was inconvenient for the three elder brothers to come in, so they could only wait in the main room.

"Yan'er, how do you feel now?"

Lin Yan smiled, "It's good, but I'm a little hungry."

Sister Lin immediately turned around, "I'll get you a bowl of rice porridge."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

After the rice porridge was served, Zhang Moyuan sat by the bed and fed it mouthful.

Father Lin went to the main room and brought the tightly wrapped cub to Lin Yan's side, and said with a smile, "It's a son, take a look."

Lin Yan turned his head, and Father Lin tore off the quilt a little so that he could see clearly.

A wrinkled little dot.

This was Lin Yan's first impression.

Her little face was still a little red, and she couldn't tell who she looked like at all.

He looked disgusted and said, "Why do you look like this?"

Father Lin glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about, it's nice to watch."

Mrs. Lin also said: "Yes, it's the same for the newborn babies, and it's the same for Hai Bei and Haike at that time."

Lin Yan glanced at Hai Bei Haike's tender face and felt relieved.

But looking sideways, I still felt a bit ugly, and couldn't help ridiculed: "What if I marry a wife in the future when I'm so ugly?"

He spoke in a low voice, but miraculously, the little boy burst into tears as soon as he finished speaking.

Lin Yan: "?"

Father Lin said helplessly: "Look, did you cry because of your anger?"

Lin Yan: "..."

What does such a little thing know, and he can still cry when he is angry?

But Father Lin has already carefully coaxed the cub away, it seems that he wants to stay away from his unreliable father.

Mrs. Lin suppressed a smile, "Looks like she's a smart kid."

Lin Yan: "..."

Before Lin Yan was born, Aunt Lin and the others had paid special attention to which nearby house had a pregnant woman who was about the same month as Lin Yan, and wanted to give the cub some milk in the future.

This kind of thing is very common, after all, my brother has no milk, so he can only rely on this method.

Usually give some money, or buy some meat for others.

As long as it is not a family with very little milk, they are usually willing, after all, they can earn some money or meat.

It was also because of the luck of the Lin family, as sister-in-law Zhou's younger sister had just given birth to a baby with plenty of milk.

Whenever the Lin family has something good to do, they are always the first to think about the Zhou family. Sister-in-law Zhou has long thought of repaying them, so naturally she will not miss this opportunity.

And she knows the Lin family well, the Lin family will not treat her sister badly, and coming to her will definitely be more comfortable than staying at her husband's house.

So, she took her sister back a few days ago.

Before Lin Yan was born, Aunt Lin would go over to deliver some meat and fish from time to time, and sometimes the dishes sold at home.

Sister-in-law Zhou's younger sister is Zhou Cui. She really likes the dishes sold by the Lin family, especially the hot pot.

She can't eat spicy food now, and she can eat clear soup pot with relish.

Father Lin carried Zai Zai over and brought her a portion of fish soup by the way.

Xiao Zai Zai had a round belly after drinking milk, but Lin Yan complained about it when he went back.

Zhang Moyuan fed the porridge and a bowl of fish soup, and then wiped Lin Yan's mouth.

"There's something wrong with the beach, I'll go there."

Lin Yan nodded, "Go."

After Zhang Moyuan left, Mrs. Lin and Du Yuan came in to accompany him.

Du Yuan touched Xiao Zai Zai's tender face and asked curiously, "Yan'er, what's the name of the baby?"

Lin Yan froze for a moment, but didn't take it.

He has been busy with composting and raising seedlings lately, but he has neglected all of these things. He also forgot to draw a stroller for Zai Zai.

Du Yuan: "..."

Mrs. Lin snorted and laughed, "No wonder Dad said you are unreliable, why did you forget to name you?"

Lin Yan asked Du Yuan to help him get the paper and pen, and he lay down on the bed and struggled to draw the blueprint of the baby carriage.

As for the name, let's discuss it with Zhang Moyuan when he comes back at night.

However, when Zhang Moyuan came back at night, he and Xiao Zai Zai were sleeping soundly.

Even the sleeping position is exactly the same.

Zhang Moyuan smiled and helped them make up the quilt, and then slept next to the bed all night.

The next morning, Lin Yan looked at the empty bed beside him and fell silent.

It's not an option to go on like this, so he just took a pen and wrote down a few nicknames he liked, but he couldn't think of any big names, so he might as well leave it to Zhang Moyuan.

And don't worry about names, many people don't have names.

Afraid that he would fall asleep again at night, Lin Yan simply put this piece of paper by the bedside, so that Zhang Moyuan could see it when he came in.

This method is very practical. The next day Lin Yan picked up the paper and saw a name circled by Zhang Moyuan.

Nuonuo.

Zhang Nuonuo.

The reason why Lin Yan chose this name is very simple. After the red color fades, Xiao Zai Zai becomes white and tender, isn't it just a glutinous rice dumpling?

It looks soft and cute.

Lin Yan poked Zhang Nuonuo's soft little face, and said with a smile, "Nuonuo? Open your eyes and look at Dad."

It's been several days, and Zhang Nuonuo has never opened his eyes.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or if really understood, Zhang Nuonuo actually opened his eyes after Lin Yan finished speaking.

Mrs. Lin exclaimed: "It really is a smart baby."

But it only opened once, and then closed again quickly.

Zhang Nuonuo is really good at sleeping. haven't seen him cry a few times since he was born. Apart from drinking milk and rice soup all day, he just sleeps soundly, with his belly bulging.

Lin Yan said helplessly: "If you continue like this, you will grow into a ball."

Zhang Nuonuo pouted and continued to sleep.

Aunt Lin loves Lin Yan dearly, and will sleep with Nuonuo most of the time, unless Nuonuo refuses to leave, he will stay with Lin Yan.

At this time, the heavy responsibility of taking care of Zhang Nuonuo will fall on Zhang Moyuan, who will come in and out at night to clean up Zhang Nuonuo, and then put him to sleep.

Zhang Nuonuo may be dependent on Zhang Moyuan, and now she refuses to sleep in Aunt Lin's room, and clings to Lin Yan at night.

Zhou Cui came in with the baby in her arms, and said with a smile, "Brother Yan, is Nuonuo asleep?"

When Zhang Nuonuo heard Zhou Cui's voice, she immediately opened her eyes wide, and the black eyes rolled around.

He remembered the voice.

Lin Yan said helplessly, "My Nuonuo is more edible."

Zhou Cui smiled, "It's good that the baby can eat it, but my family just refuses to eat it, and I'm so worried."

"Your Nuonuo is so clever, look, his eyes are open."

Zhang Nuonuo was rolling her eyes and looking around.

After Zhou Cui left, Lin Yan lay down on the bed to tease Zhang Nuonuo, "Can you be a little promising? Look at your gluttonous little face."

Anyway, Zhang Nuonuo didn't understand, she just blinked and looked at him innocently.

Lin Yan was held in the house by Father Li for a month, and he was finally able to go out after a month.

Zhang Nuonuo has also grown a lot, looking more and more like Zhang Moyuan.

The rice seeds have already been planted in the nursery field by the sea. According to what Lin Yan said, more rice seeds have been planted to prevent not enough seedlings coming out by then.

Generally, there is no need to fertilize seedlings, but the saline-alkali land is too barren, so Zhang Moyuan still fertilized a little, but the amount is relatively small.

After about a month, the seedlings can be transplanted after they have grown to a sufficient height.

Transplanting is transplanting rice seedlings.

Calculating the time, Zhang Moyuan should be soaking the fields in the past few days.

This is the last wave to dilute the salt in the soil before transplanting, and it needs to soak for several days.

After soaking, it's time to divide the fields.

Anyone who participated in Jiahe Village started gearing up. Seeing that they are about to grow their own rice, can't they be excited?

Seeing that Lin Yan was going out, Zhang Nuonuo immediately started yelling, wanting Lin Yan to take him with him.

How dare Lin Yan take him, Haifeng is not joking.

Zhang Nuonuo held her mouth aggrieved, but luckily she didn't cry, she was coaxed by Father Lin to watch Hai Bei play wooden ball in the backyard.

Lin Yan strolled all the way to the beach, everyone he met on the way congratulated him, and then asked how he was doing.

Lin Yan answered one by one, and he arrived before he knew it while talking to someone.

Lin Yan was a little short of breath. He was still recovering after all, and his body was not as good as before.

As soon as he arrived, someone told Zhang Moyuan, and Zhang Moyuan walked over immediately, and asked with concern: "You can go out now, how do you feel?"

Lin Yan said helplessly, "If you don't go out, you will grow up on the bed."

Zhang Moyuan smiled, "Go, I'll take you to have a look."

He walked slowly with Lin Yan, first went to see the large fields soaked in water, and then went to the seedling breeding ground farther away to see the seedlings.

Lin Yan exclaimed, "Wow, so many have grown."

"Yeah, better than I expected."

With so many seedlings, you can't see the head at a glance, so it should be enough.

Lin Yan squatted down and touched it, and said happily, "Very good, it seems that we are on the right path."

Zhang Moyuan nodded, with joy in his eyes, after all, he has been busy for almost a year, and now is what he is waiting for.

"After the soaking over there, you can plant the seedlings. The seedlings need to be fertilized to the ground, and then they must be top-dressed. A small amount and many times, and then the prepared shell powder can also be sprinkled on."

After Lin Yan provided an idea, Zhang Moyuan chatted with those farmers, and then deduced a rough sequence of top dressing from the growth cycle of rice they described.

Try a small amount many times, bit by bit, as long as you are cautious, even if there are problems in some steps, it will not cause irreparable losses.

No one has ever tried farming by the sea, and the peasants were at a loss, so they could only explore slowly.

Fortunately, Zhang Moyuan is a very patient seeker.

Zhang Moyuan hummed, "The water can be drained early tomorrow morning, and if all goes well, we can start dividing the fields in the afternoon."

Lin Yan glanced at the large green seedlings again, and his heart was full of hope.

He thinks that if this goes on, maybe the final output will be more than that grown in most ordinary paddy fields.

That was so gratifying.

Zhang Moyuan has always been used to leaving room for his words. Although he said that if everything goes well, he can start dividing the fields in the afternoon, but it will start at noon the next day.

Those people by the sea didn't even want to eat, they just wanted to share the fields quickly.

The testing field is done by everyone, and everyone knows what level they are, and they are not afraid that Zhang Moyuan will favor his own family when they are divided.

First, check the number of jobs for each family at the village head's house. The number of jobs is the number of days spent helping at the beach, and the whole family is counted together.

Then determine how many fields each family can get according to the number of workers.

The data is recorded by the village head, and each family will record it themselves, and check it with the village head.

If the data on both sides is the same, pass it directly, and if the data is not the same, check both sides together.

Because the battle line is relatively long, this kind of situation is quite common, so this process lasted for a whole afternoon.

After the end, arrived at Zhang Moyuan.

He drew a map of land reclamation from the sea, on which the attributes and sizes of each field were marked in sub-regions.

Attributes are divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower.

The top grade fields are the ones farthest away, and the closer to the sea, the lower the grade of the fields.

Start with the first-class fields, one for each family, and then transfer back according to the number of workers. The families with the most workers can get two pieces of first-class fields.

The Lin family is one of them.

No one would question this. After all, the three elder brothers of the Lin family were working whenever they had free time. Lin Yan and Zhang Moyuan were leading the reclamation of land from the sea, and Zhang Moyuan was always in charge.

They won't say anything even if they divide three or four premium fields.

After the high-grade field is divided, it is the middle-grade and low-grade fields, and the division method is the same.

As soon as Zhang Moyuan spoke, everyone listened to him quietly, and no one dared to make a fuss, so his part was soon over.

Finally, the village chief said loudly: "Today, everyone will go back and clean up and get a good night's sleep. The seedlings will be planted early tomorrow morning. The fertilizer we made is there. You can fetch it yourself, but there is one thing to say first. If someoneIf you greedily want to put more fertilizer and burn your seedlings to death, then there is nothing you can do.”

Everyone understood and nodded.

"Okay, there's nothing else. Be vigilant after the seedlings fall. Scholar Zhang has led our village to work for almost a year, and we can't let it go at the last step."

After the village chief finished speaking, he asked everyone to go back.

Zhang Moyuan put away the drawings and went back.
