Chapter 19: The Man from Above
"Auntie, this hasn't been planted yet, has it?"
Lou Manyue looked at the clusters of fields and ditches, and asked Xiu Yingniang suspiciously, when she first came, she saw that people were working in full swing, and she had not seen it for a few days. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Where have people gone?
"Yes, during this time, there are many things in the village, and no one cares about this, and now everyone doesn't know what to do. ”
Xiuying Niang looked at the field, some of the fields were just turned over, some had not been turned over, some had been planted, and some had not been planted, and her face couldn't help but show distress.
Lou Manyue was stunned for a moment, thinking of the confusion on the faces of the villagers when they heard that Accountant Zhang was arrested in the village committee before, and felt a little uncomfortable.
At this time, people were very simple and obedient, but they were also used to being enslaved, and they felt abandoned when no one controlled them, so they didn't even know whether to do basic farm work.
Unlike later, all of them were very flexible.
However, let her really say that which of the two eras is better, she still likes this era, probably because she is really stupid and timid.
She was very nervous when she first came, and there were so many things, but after a few days, she felt that it was not so difficult to get out of the house, because of these simple people.
"Auntie, isn't this a waste of land?" Lou Manyue looked at the empty land and sighed in his heart, "If you don't plant, where will you have a harvest, and if you don't have a harvest, won't you have to fight a famine again......?"
"What nonsense?"
Xiu Yingniang hurriedly looked around, and was relieved when she found that there was no one, she scolded in a low voice: "Whatever you don't say, just talk nonsense, these are collective, what do you say about what we do." ”
Lou Manyue looked at her appearance of being a soldier, her heart was sour, but she said with a smile on her face: "Well, I'll talk about it in front of you." ”
"That can't be said either. Xiuying Niang said angrily, "You, you are still young and careless, so many days have been in vain?"
So many days? Do you mean a special period that has just passed?
Seeing Xiu Yingniang lower her voice when she spoke, she was obviously in the open space around her, but she still looked at it from time to time, her body was even more tense, and she hurriedly grabbed her arm.
"Auntie, don't worry, I will never say anything in the future. ”
"That's good. Xiu Yingniang breathed a sigh of relief.
Lou Manyue looked at these open spaces, and felt a pity in her heart, although she would not be short of food if she had a game farm, but she thought of the food that she had to make excuses to let Xiuying Niang accept, and she felt that it was not a long-term solution.
She didn't even plant the land, where did she get the food? It's okay to give it once or twice, but if you have more, don't you want to show the stuffing?
You can't pretend to be Wang Youdu every time, right?
Thinking of Wang Youdu, she didn't feel it and sighed again, if it was him, she should handle it well.
"Auntie, a few days ago, didn't Liu Qi say that some places have been ......" She glanced at the ground meaningfully.
"Who knows. ”
Xiu Yingniang understood the meaning of Lou Manyue, she thought of what Liu Qi said before, some places have been divided, and she couldn't help but have some small expectations in her heart.
Will that day come?
Looking at the large open space, her heart hurt a little more.
"Auntie, if the wasteland is cleared, what will happen to those lands?" Lou Manyue saw that she was sad, and hurriedly pointed to the wasteland in the distance and asked.
However, after asking, she suddenly had an idea, opening up the wasteland should be encouraged, remember that there was no plan for the "Great Northern Wilderness" in her time?
"The state's consent is required for land reclamation. Xiu Yingniang replied without thinking, "Now that there is so much land, where is there still time to open up wasteland." ”
Lou Manyue couldn't help but be stunned, isn't the more land, the better?
Xiu Yingniang saw that she didn't understand, and explained: "The land belongs to the state, of course the land is the country, and we don't have many people here, these lands can't be planted, where will they be opened again? ”
Lou Manyue remembered that when he was a child, he also heard adults say that the land opened and the crops planted almost did not yield, but it was just regarded as raising land.
The current population is not like her time, it has reached the stage of controlling the number of people, at this time the population is small, and there are no advanced tools, she remembers seeing still the plow and rake pulled by people, and the better ones are the oxen pulling.
Unlike later, farming was all mechanized, and it was basically done in one day, and there was more land, and manpower could not keep up, which was indeed a big problem.
"Xiu Yingniang!"
Lou Manyue was pondering, and suddenly a long call came, she came back to her senses and saw Aunt Suhua walking over quickly.
"Auntie. Lou Manyue was busy saying hello.
Su Hua nodded, gasped and said, "Hurry up and go back, I've been looking for you." ”
"What's the matter?
Xiu Yingniang asked as she followed Su Hua back, and Lou Manyue hurriedly followed.
"Someone came from the village, saying that they were here to build a house, didn't you want to get a house for the full moon some time ago?" Su Hua gasped a few times and walked briskly again.
"No, I don't. Xiu Yingniang said with some doubts.
"Didn't you keep looking for ...... the other day"
Building a house?
Lou Manyue paused for a moment, remembering what Wang Youdu said when he left, he arranged it, could it be that this is what he arranged?
She didn't feel warm in her heart, with a smile on her lips, and her steps were a little brisker.
"You're back?"
Lou Manyue lived not far away, not long after, three people arrived, from a distance to see a group of people waiting there, one by one looked unusual, approached, even more different.
Although they are dressed ordinarily and their tools are even more ordinary, Lou Manyue just feels that they exude a different temperament.
She was even more sure in her heart that it was Wang Youdu's arrangement.
"Who are you?"
Xiu Yingniang stepped forward, looked at them and said.
"Eldest sister, we were arranged to repair the house from above. ”
A person came out of the crowd, about twenty years old, with a handsome face, and when he smiled, he was hearty and kind, and the nervous Xiuying Niang relaxed suddenly.
"Sent from above?"
Xiu Yingniang glanced at Lou Manyue, thought of the previous PLA comrades, and her face showed surprise.
"Yes, yes. The man glanced at the full moon behind her, his eyes flashed, and he smiled and said to Xiu Yingniang, "Eldest sister, how are you going to repair it?"
"Comrade, I'm really sorry, we've already repaired it. Xiu Yingniang said apologetically.
Lou Manyue listened to Xiuyingniang's words, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious, she wanted to rebuild, and she hadn't said this to Xiuyingniang yet.
"Fired?"
The man glanced at the dilapidated house, and really couldn't think about how the girl in front of him lived here, he thought of Wang Youdu's explanation, and looked at the girl twice.
