Chapter 346 Planting Rice
If it breaks, it will be the end of us. We will have no seedlings to use.
As they were thinking like this, they unknowingly walked to the side of the paddy field.
When I got closer, I found that their worries were in vain. The Taoist priest is worthy of being a Taoist priest.
He is a skilled martial artist, and although his movements seem a bit reckless, the seedlings he threw out did land steadily in the paddy field.
There wasn't even a splash of water, and the Taoist priest threw the seeds very accurately. All the seedlings seemed to have been specially trained, controlling the distance precisely and lining up one by one.
"Why are you all here? Have you pulled out all the seedlings?" The Taoist priest looked at everyone in confusion while throwing the seedlings.
Hearing this, everyone looked embarrassed. Lu Chuan was thinking that if he directly said that they were worried about you planting the seedlings so everyone came here together, he would probably be beaten.
No matter how others behave, they will definitely be beaten, but you will definitely be hit on the head by the seedlings in the Taoist's hand.
So Lu Chuan simply stopped talking, turned his head away and didn't even look at the Taoist priest.
Grandpa Zhao also looked as if it had nothing to do with him and ignored the Taoist priest.
Helpless, Xu Han could only slowly say, "Haha, shouldn't we plant the rice first? We can pull out the remaining ones later."
Seeing this, Lu Chuan quickly replied, "Yes, plant these first, and then go back and pull out the remaining seedlings later."
After saying that, he actually took off his shoes and went down into the paddy field.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Zhao also followed Lu Chuan's example and went down to the paddy field with him.
When the Taoist priest heard everyone say this, he looked confused. He always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what it was.
I couldn't figure it out, so I gave up thinking about it and said, "Do you two know how to plant rice? You're acting just like the real thing. The girl hasn't even gone down yet. What's the point of you two going down? Don't you have to wait for the girl to teach you?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan and Grandpa Zhao looked up at Xu Han with expressions of help on their faces.
In order to prevent her lie from being exposed, Xu Han also hurried down into the paddy field.
"Watch carefully, I will teach you how to plant rice seedlings.
When transplanting rice seedlings, be sure to maintain the spacing between the seedlings, and move forward in a line. Do not transplant them at an angle.
When transplanting rice seedlings, in order to improve the efficiency of transplanting, you can directly transplant four vertical rows at a time."
After saying that, he picked up a handful of seedlings, untied the straw rope, held it with his left hand, then picked up a handful of seedlings with his right hand and started planting.
While planting, he explained, "When planting rice, use your index and middle fingers to press directly into the mud, about two to three centimeters deep.
When picking up seedlings for transplanting, be sure to check whether any are broken or not, if so, pick them out and choose the good ones for transplanting. "
Xu Han demonstrated as she spoke. Grandpa Zhao and Lu Chuan watched carefully. After Xu Han planted a few seedlings, they said they knew how to do it.
Then I started to try to plant rice according to Xu Han’s teachings.
Xu Han also reminded, "When planting rice, be sure to look at the seedlings next to them and try not to plant them crookedly, otherwise the seedlings will grow in a mess without any rules, and it won't look good at all."
"I know. I'm watching." Lu Chuan replied.
Xu Han looked at how Grandpa Zhao and Lu Chuan were planting rice, and seeing that there was no problem, she started planting rice herself.
After the Taoist priest had thrown the seedlings, he also started to plant them.
Four people were planting rice together very quickly and soon they had created a very wide paddy field.
"Hahaha, Xiaochuan, look at the seedlings you planted, they are so crooked." Grandpa Zhao straightened up and saw the seedlings planted by Lu Chuan in front of him, and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xu Han straightened up, and saw that both he and Grandpa Zhao were doing it quite neatly, but when it came to Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest, it was simply unbearable to look at.
"Lu Chuan, what did you do?" Xu Han couldn't help but said angrily.
Obviously Lu Chuan also saw his masterpiece, and instantly felt as if a flock of crows were flying over his head, feeling extremely embarrassed.
I was clearly planting the seedlings just like Grandpa Zhao did, so why did I end up in this state?
Just when Xu Han was about to talk to the Taoist priest, the Taoist priest spoke up in advance, "Don't blame me, I did it just as Xiaochuan did."
So the Taoist priest successfully directed Xu Han's anger towards Lu Chuan.
Lu Chuan was so angry that he dared not say a word. He moved his mouth for a long time but couldn't utter a word.
"You, look carefully, don't insert it such a wide distance at once, insert it in two rows. I don't believe you can insert it crookedly at such a close distance." Xu Han pointed at Lu Chuan with an angry face.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan didn't dare to say anything. He started to plant rice seriously and no longer dared to secretly compete with the Taoist priest in speed.
Xu Han said to the Taoist priest again, "The same goes for you two. Look carefully before you plant the rice."
"Okay, okay, I got it, don't worry." The Taoist priest said with a grin.
When Grandpa Zhao saw that the two of them were quarreled by Xu Han, he looked gloating and laughed at them mercilessly.
After Xu Han's guidance, the rice seedlings finally looked neater after being planted for a distance. It was no longer like before when each seedling had its own idea.
"Look, you two either can't plant the rice properly or you're not paying attention. You're careless and clumsy in your work."
"Yes, yes, my wife is right." Lu Chuan said in a flattering manner.
"Oh, transplanting rice is not an easy job. I have to bend over all the time and I can't even straighten my waist." Grandpa Zhao said while hitting his waist.
"Grandpa Zhao, don't be anxious. Just take a rest if you are tired. We are not in a hurry. Take it slow." Xu Han advised.
"Okay, I get it. I'm old now and not as good as you young people." Grandpa Zhao said with a smile.
"Grandpa Zhao is not old. He is in his prime now." Xu Han replied with a smile.
"Hahaha, you are still good at talking." Grandpa Zhao was very happy with Xu Han's words spoken at the prime of his life.
In fact, what Xu Han said was not wrong. In modern times, Grandpa Zhao at this age was still the main worker.
Young people today are really not as good as the elderly of this age in rural areas. Moreover, Grandpa Zhao’s age is not considered old at all in modern times and he hasn’t even retired yet.
Some farmers are even still doing hard labor moving bricks on construction sites.
"Come on, don't you have any idea of what you are like? You actually believe what the girl said." The Taoist priest said.
"Tsk, you're just jealous of me. Maybe you weren't as good as me when you were this age."
"Absolutely not. I'm definitely better than you."
In this way, a few people were talking and making noises, and the morning passed quickly.
Xu Han went home to make breakfast first, while Lu Chuan and the other three continued to plant rice in the fields.
They waited until Xu Han finished preparing breakfast before going home to have breakfast.
