Chapter Ninety-Eight: Divide the Land, Dig Wild Vegetables!

"Shujie...... Shujie, you wait a minute. ”

Zhou Shujie walked in the crowd, and heard the voice of the uncle shouting at her from behind to wait for a while, and when she looked back, the uncle was standing at the door of the brigade and waving to him to tell her to go back.

I don't know what it is?

Zhou Shujie walked back against the crowd.

Uncle Zhou saw that Zhou Shujie heard his shout and came back, and then immediately greeted Uncle Guo and the names of several villagers in the village, and called these villagers back.

When the few of them who were called back returned to the team headquarters with Uncle Zhou, they understood what was going on.

The village chief said, "I forgot to tell you to come back because I want to divide the land for your children." After a while, you and I will go to the land for yourself, and measure out the land that should be allocated to the children, and just this time I will rake the land for you, so as to save the delay in spring ploughing. ”

After speaking, the village chief's uncle and uncle, with a hundred-meter rope and an account book, led Zhou Shujie and the others to the private land in the west of the village.

To be honest, Zhou Shujie forgot about the division of land, after all, in her later memory, the land in the countryside remained unchanged for thirty years.

Today, as soon as she said that she wanted to divide the land for the child, she remembered that the land division system at this time was to give the land to the child, and the old man would take back the land if he died.

When I arrived at the top of the land, I found the edge of the land and began to pull the rope to measure the ground.

The length of the north and south ends of this land is one thousand meters, and twelve acres of land is exactly eight meters wide.

Whoever measures the width of eight meters and divides it to whoever puts a branch or a stone on the ground as a sign of the edge of the ground.

In addition, Uncle Guo and Zhou Shujie have a total of eight families, Zhou Shujie is the last to divide, her last family is the land of Uncle Guo's little grandson, and the lower one is the brigade's own land.

Of course, Zhou Shujie's family has two children, so her family has a maximum of 16 meters and 24 acres of land, and there are a total of 60 acres of land in addition to the original.

Before the north end of the earth was finished, these people went to the south head again, and measured it again in the order just now, and the ground was also inserted with wooden sticks to divide the line.

When she walked home from Da Nantou, Zhou Shujie didn't know what happened to others, but she felt that her legs were sore.

This is the result of staying all day and winter, not working, and walking a few steps will make your legs sore.

There are also discoveries along the way, and I saw a lot of newly sprouted mothers-in-law Ding (dandelions) at the end of the ground, but unfortunately there were no knives.

I just have to wait for the raking tomorrow.

Zhou Shujie thought about taking a frame and a knife at home, and when he was waiting, he would dig some mother-in-law Ding (dandelion) in the ground and go back to try it.

This mother-in-law is delicious when it first sprouts in spring, and it should be bitter when it grows.

If you want to say that she has also suffered this hardship, she remembers that when she was young, there was not enough food in each family, and she lived on wild vegetables in one summer.

At that time, every family ate wild vegetables, regardless of whether they were old or not, bitter or not, they brought it back and cooked it with cornmeal.

I remember that the old people in the village often lamented that they were not well fed and clothed at that time, but few people had strange diseases. (Cancer)

This is all due to these wild herbs, because no matter what kind of wild herbs have medicinal properties. For example, this mother-in-law. It's the best anti-inflammatory.

Okay, don't be wordy, this is far from talking.

When Zhou Shujie got home, the two children woke up.

I didn't think it would take so long, and I tossed back and forth, and I came back late.

"Why did you come back? The children were crying just now, so I made some milk powder for them to stop. Mother-in-law, looking at Zhou Shujie who entered the house, asked a little angrily.

Hearing this,

Zhou Shujie was the first to pick up the obedient girl, and when she saw it, sure enough, her eyes were still red.

He replied, "It's a long way out of the gate, and they call us back again." said that he wanted to divide the land for the child, so he followed him to his own land. The south and north heads ran a trip, and it was too late to come back. ”

After listening to her daughter-in-law's explanation, the old lady felt a little more comfortable.

She didn't blame her daughter-in-law for coming back late, she just felt sorry for her two grandsons and cried.

Therefore, the tone of his speech became a little stiffer, and now that he heard the reason, his tone also softened and asked, "How is it? Where is our land?"

After speaking, he touched his little grandson's head and teased him with a smile: "This time, no one dislikes us for eating rice, right! Who is disliking you, you have to tell him that we have our own land, not for rice, hahaha!"

When she first entered the house, Zhou Shujie heard that her mother-in-law was angry when she asked.

Although she heard it, she didn't plan to be serious with her mother-in-law, after all, she did come back, and the child cried.

Besides, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along like this, how can they not be the same as their own mother.

Zhou Shujie doesn't have a mother, so she doesn't know how to get along with her mother.

She only knows that she grew up with her grandfather in her uncle's house since she was a child, and they have always spoiled her with her two older brothers.

I remember that when I first got married, my aunt told her that no matter who she gets along with, it is a good thing for both of her, and she can't be too careful about everything.

Now, listening to her mother-in-law's tone of voice, she didn't hear it first.

also smiled and replied: "Our family is divided at the back, next to the brigade's private land below, and next to my Uncle Guo's house above." ”

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "Okay, good! Orchids and their families are all worry-free, and they don't have those things that they remember too much." ”

Actually, Zhou Shujie thought like this, so he and Uncle Guo were at the end.

Now the days are getting longer and longer, and when I eat two meals and go to bed at night, I will be hungry and my stomach growls, so Zhou Shujie's family eats three meals.

They finished their lunch and put the child to sleep.

Zhou Shujie ran to the warehouse to find the knife head and small basket to dig vegetables tomorrow.

She has to find out in advance, so as to save the trouble of looking for trouble when the time comes.

After searching for a long time, I found a broken sickle, and the wood was rotten.

When I went to the house, I wrapped it in rags, and I took it in my hand and compared it to it, and it felt quite comfortable, so I put it in a small basket and put it in the corner of the outhouse, so that I could use them to dig wild vegetables tomorrow.

The rest of the time, she was not idle, and when she had time, she carried a four-toothed fork and went to the back garden to turn over the soil, breaking up the large pieces that were turned out.

She plans to turn over the soil first, let the sun dry, and when it is hot, she will have time to sprinkle some cabbage seeds, radish seeds or something tomorrow afternoon, and plant some dipping pickles to eat.

After holding the fork pole for half an afternoon, my hands were red, and I only turned over four ridges.

Looking at the sun in the west, she went out of the back garden.

I went into the house, washed my hands, and fed my two hungry children breastfeeding.

After that, the mother-in-law watched the child for her, and she went to cook dinner.

A pot of rice and a plate of fried cabbage slices filled the empty temple of five internal organs.

As soon as the two children were full before the meal, his mother didn't dare to let them eat, but only gave them a little cold water.

It was getting dark, the village was quiet, and everyone was falling asleep.
