Chapter 123
A Jane thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it's possible for me to pull another five or six carts like this! Tomorrow we can let some people continue to clean up, some of them can reclaim the land first! "
Lian Fangzhou nodded "Hmm".
Lianze then said: "elder sister, is it time for the farm cattle hired tomorrow?"
"Yes," said Lian Fangzhou with a smile, "with twelve oxen, do you think the land can be reclaimed in three or four days?"
Lian Fangzhou turns to ask ah Jian.
Jane thought for a moment, nodded and smiled: "three days should be enough! However, it may take another two or three days to finish the plough. "
After all, cattle can only plough the land. The soil in the ploughed land is a large piece of soil. To grow crops, you have to smash the large piece of soil with a hoe and make it even. Then you can grow crops.
Because this is a wasteland to be reclaimed, the land must be leveled immediately after ploughing. By the way, all the grass roots and the like can be cleaned out, otherwise, the grass roots may be slow and firmly grasp the soil immediately.
"I think it's almost the same!" Lian Fangzhou smiled and nodded, wondering whether to hire more people.
She was still thinking, and Jane had said, "I'm afraid we'll have to hire a few more people when we get to the underground at the third crossing."
"I'm thinking about it!" Lian Fangzhou said, smiling at Jane.
"Elder sister, can we help in the field? Brother said that he would go back to the truck! " Lian Che and Lian Fangqing asked.
Lian Fangzhou saw that the stumps and roots of the car had been unloaded. Seeing Lian Che and Lian Fangqing's eager face, he looked at ah Jian.
The two little guys were very good. They immediately looked at Jane and asked for help.
Jane was always very good at talking, so she smiled and said: "then go! Don't be naughty on the ground! "
Lian Che and Lian Fangqing cheered and agreed, and they climbed on the donkey cart.
"Let's go first!" Jane nodded to Lian Fangzhou.
Lian Fangzhou smiled "Hmm", and went to help open the gate and watched them go.
Jane and I ran back and forth for two more times before finishing work. The corner of the yard was already piled like a hill.
According to Ajan's estimation, even if the whole field is collected, there must be two or three more.
In the words of my third aunt, I have almost all the firewood for a year.
But it's not a matter of stacking them all in the yard.
Fortunately, there is also a large flat outside the yard. Even Fang Zhou and a Jian have agreed to put them outside the yard.
After breakfast the next day, Jane went to shitouping with Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze.
Today, the workers who are leading the cattle and carrying the ploughs and rakes are also coming. They are gathering together to talk. When they come, they smile and call them "the boss". What's the way to do this?
Lianfangzhou and ajin arranged to go on.
Spread out the oxen, and let the flat land that leads the plow come and return twice. As for the places where the plough cannot reach, let the former dig with a hoe.
Five people were left to continue yesterday's cleaning work. The remaining workers and the workers leading the cattle were divided into several groups as usual, starting from different directions.
Even the lunch prepared by my family didn't say that the salary was generous and timely, and the big guy was full of energy. After the assignment, he smiled and agreed to take the initiative to do the work.
A Jian and Lian Ze and Lian Fangzhou went to see each other for a while. A Jian and Lian Ze still transported the cleared firewood to their home. Lian Fangzhou went back first.
Today, there are twelve more people to eat. She has to go back to help her third aunt.
At home, the third aunt has put the noodles together. When she wakes up, she can steam the steamed bread. She is making pancakes. Lian Fangqing is washing vegetables, and Lian Che is helping to burn the fire.
Today, almost half of the steamed bread and pancakes are added. It's a big job.
Seeing Lian Fangzhou coming back, the third aunt said immediately with some joy: "Fangzhou, there is no big bone to cook soup today, but there is still a little bit of streaky pork! How about cabbage soup this noon? It's good to put some parsley on! It's better to drink hot soup in such a cold day than none! "
Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "didn't I buy two chickens yesterday? Just kill two chickens! Isn't there many dried mushrooms in our family? Stew a pot of thick chicken soup with dried mushrooms. I'll go to the city again in the afternoon and buy some big bones and meat! "
"What?" The third aunt was so surprised that she stopped the spatula of pancakes in her hand and asked incredulously, "do you want to kill the chicken?"
"Yes!" Lian Fangzhou then said with a smile, "chop up some more chicken and stir fry it with streaky pork! Just in time. We'll have a good meal tonight! I've been exhausted for two days! "
Third aunt can't help but "Ouch!" One, heartache way: "you really are! Look at you loser! Those two cocks are so big. I also said, why do you buy cocks well? You can't lay eggs even if you waste food. It's to kill and eat! "
Lian Fangzhou then said with a smile: "don't be upset if you get it. I promised that the big guy can't talk without counting! The work of these two days is very beautiful, we can save a lot of heart! It's worth it! "
Third aunt's corner of the mouth didn't take it seriously, she didn't think it was worth it.
However, she sighed softly: "well, you said so, what else can I say! Let's kill, and make a pot of hot water. It's quick! "
Lian Fangzhou was so upset by her third aunt that she gave a laugh, then she burned the fire and added water to the pot. She still asked Lian Che to take care of it for a while. She took the basket and put the dried mushrooms in it.
When the hot water is done, pour the dried mushrooms into a wooden basin and soak them.
Lian Fangqing came to help, smiled and said, "sister, can I pluck the hair from the cock's tail to make a shuttlecock?"
Why not? Lian Fangzhou agreed with a smile and plucked her hair at will before using hot water to shed her hair. Lian Fangqing cheered happily.
The children in the countryside don't have much to amuse themselves with. A small wooden knife, a small slingshot, a flute made of bamboo, a top made of wood, a shuttlecock made of chicken feather, etc. are good things.
But it's hard to kill chickens twice a year. It's not easy to get the bright hair on the cock's tail. There are also naughty children who catch the beautiful hair on the cock's tail. Of course, they can't escape the fate of being beaten.
Obviously, they will not do this kind of things even if they are pure and clear.
