A few people came to the head of the village, there were already many people on the wasteland, some people were holding pennies to measure, the penny was very long and straight, it was specially used to measure the land, and its length was just the length of the side of an acre of land. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 There are a few anxious men who even take steps to measure it themselves, and the measurement is about the same, because the land is too familiar to them, and they deal with it almost every day, and then pass it on from generation to generation.

Xiao'er's understanding of farming, only theory, no practice, she saw that everyone brought all kinds of farm tools, there are hoes, plows, pickaxes, rakes, etc., some people want to use fire to plow, but some old people denied, now the air is dry and dry, it is much more convenient to burn the grass on the wasteland with fire, but such a piece of burning, now the wind is strong, too dangerous, in case the wind blows the ashes of the grass and trees with sparks to Wushen Mountain, it will be a big disaster.

Xiao'er nodded, thinking deeply, and asked everyone to only gather the grass pulled out of each acre of land and burn it together.

Liu was not idle with his little sister and fourth aunt on his back, Xu Wenhui opened an acre of land together, and Xiao'er took Jing Rui and Jing Hao around to inspect the environment, choose the address to build a house and study the water conservancy and irrigation plan of this wasteland.

The wasteland that her family bought was relatively high and far away from the water source, so the people in the village were reluctant to open up the wasteland, after all, irrigation alone was a troublesome matter. Even now, the villagers are saying that Shen Chengyao is stupid while clearing the wasteland. But Xiao'er has no worries about this at all, she can load a cart, a water wheel, and transport water to a high place and a distance, there is no inconvenience.

The three of them came to the foot of two mountains, which were side by side, and there was a small river behind the mountain, and the river was very fast, and on the other side of the river was the foot of Mt. Gokami. Xiao'er glanced up at the top of the mountain, which was no higher than thirty meters, and it seemed that she had to use a high drum truck to deliver water. While inspecting the environment and choosing a place to build the car, she told the two brothers about her plans or asked them simple questions to think about, and taught them how to use the natural terrain.

After choosing a place to build two carts, she took her two brothers to the top of the mountain and asked them some questions, such as: "What should this mountain be organized to have more space to grow crops?" and "If there is water that can flow down from the top of the mountain, how should the route of the water flow be designed so that the crops of the whole mountain can be irrigated?"

Jing Rui and Jing Hao also studied very seriously, inspecting the environment with the methods taught by Xiao'er along the way, while thinking about the questions she raised.

After the three of them reached the top of the mountain, Xiao'er looked at the scenery in the distance, and was very surprised, a waterfall on the mountain not far away poured among the rocks, like a white jade silk with a never-ending head, and like a cloud of smoke rolling and falling; It is already late autumn and early winter, and the red and yellow leaves of the mountains make the mist-shrouded lake more like a lake of boiling water in a red fire.

A good lake and mountains, a good scenery.

"Brother, Hao'er, let's build a house on the top of this mountain, and it's good to come to escape the heat or study in the summer. "Xiao'er is desperate to build a villa on top of this hill.

"Good!" Jing Hao said loudly, although it was not the first time he had climbed up to see the scenery, but every time he saw it, he felt that this place was very beautiful, and he felt a lot better looking at the waterfall.

"Okay, when the family earns money in the future, they will definitely build a house on the top of this mountain as soon as possible. ”

"Well, open up the wasteland and these two mountains first, don't hurry, take your time, and wait until you have earned enough money to build a better house. "She plans to build a concrete villa so that it is strong enough, and now cement is an issue, so there is no rush.

"Silver is not a big problem, you can earn it. Xiao'er looked at the top of the mountain, about half an acre, and when the time came, a four-story villa of about 200 square meters would be built. Xiao'er looked at the scenery in the distance, and drew the blueprint of the villa in her heart, and she yearned for it more and more.

The three of them went down the mountain and climbed to the top of another mountain, where there was no waterfall, but overlooking the fields and villages below the mountain, the scenery was just as beautiful, but Xiao'er didn't plan to build another villa, so she had to dig a pond to store water for irrigation, and raise pearls by the way.

Thinking of raising pearls, Xiao'er thought of fishing in the river, and she had to find an excuse to take out a few mussels and pearls in the space.

As the sun grew hotter and hotter as it approached noon, the three of them went home.

Liu came back early because he had to feed his little sister milk.

When the three of them came back, Liu had just coaxed the little sister to fall asleep and was about to go to the upper room to cook for Old Man Shen and Shen Zhuang. Xiao'er listened and stopped Liu, "Didn't my aunt go home yesterday?" Usually the eldest aunt is not here, and it is filial piety for us to cook for the elderly, but after all, we have already separated, and the eldest aunt is at home again, you rush to cook, this is a noisy and dominant, this is not a joke." ”

Liu also felt that it made sense when she heard it, she was used to the mode of not separating the family, since she didn't go to the room anymore, she cooked her family's meal first.

After a while, Shen Zhuang's angry scolding came from the upper room, "The third daughter-in-law, when are you still not going to get out to cook?" The black-hearted, white-eyed wolf wants to starve his father and mother to death, and he wants to be quiet!

When Liu heard Shen Zhuang's voice, he hurriedly ran out of the kitchen, preparing to go to the room, Xiao'er grabbed her, "Milk, didn't the eldest aunt come to home yesterday? When the eldest aunt is not there, it is also appropriate to help the eldest aunt take care of the grandmother, but when the eldest aunt comes back, she must let the eldest aunt be filial to her grandmother, otherwise others will know that the eldest aunt is not filial, and the elder brother will be said to be unfilial if he becomes an official in the future. ”

Lan Shi listened to Xiao'er's words in the east wing and hurriedly ran out, "Mother, I was busy instructing Bao'er to embroider the dowry just now and forgot to cook for a while, I'll do it now." ”

Shen Zhuang's heart is not happy today, Liu's Yang Fengyin is against it, and he bought so much land to build a house and hide it, this is to prevent her, she wants to borrow Liu's cooking to vent her anger, "What's the matter, can't you let your mother cook for me?"

"It's not that I can't eat it, usually my mother eats a lot of food, but the food cooked by my aunt has not been eaten a few times, and now that my aunt is at home, of course their family should be filial." ”

"Mother, you go back to the room first, I'll call you when I'm ready." Lan Shi complained bitterly in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he was still smiling.

Shen Zhuang snorted, "Eldest daughter-in-law, it's your work that you take seriously, your father and I are old now, we can't be hungry, Chengguang opens a shop, Wen'er reads, and the meal for the two can't be delayed." ”

Shen Zhuang's words are polite, after all, the eldest daughter-in-law is the daughter of Xiucai's family, and the eldest grandson is about to take the Xiucai exam, so she still has to save some face for her.

Lan stumbled to finish lunch, Xiao'er's family had finished eating, Shen Chengyao returned home, as soon as he entered the door, he heard Shen Zhuang's scolding in the upper room, back to the West Chamber, Liu saw him come back, and hurriedly brought a basin of water to freshen him up, and Xiao'er moved the warm food to the kang table.

"Child, father, everything is done?" After serving Shen Chengyao, Liu handed him a bowl of water.

Shen Chengyao took the water, "It's done, Brother Liang knows people, and he took me to buy the materials, which is a little cheaper than usual." With that, he drank the whole bowl of water in one go.

"Dad, let's eat first. Xiao'er set the meal.

Shen Chengyao nodded, and asked Liu again, "What's wrong with my mother, who are you scolding?"

"Sister-in-law should have burned the rice, what about the rice!" Shen Zhuang should have been very distressed, the burned rice stuck to the bottom of the pot, it was a thick layer.

"The dishes were not washed and there was sand. Jing Rui added what he had heard.

"There's too much oil, too much salt. Jing Hao didn't understand why even his sister could do something well, why the eldest aunt couldn't do it.

Shen Chengyao didn't say anything when he heard it, he actually thought that these were very basic housework, and a woman who was a good housekeeper should be able to do it, and if she didn't do it well, she should be scolded. He lowered his head and hurriedly ate, planning to go to the village to watch the people open up the wasteland after eating.
