After arranging the dinner, Meng Ge devoted himself to the work of clearing the wasteland. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although there are two more middle-aged men to help, the progress of land reclamation is still not fast. For they have no oxen, and do everything by their hands.

Two men, one surnamed Wang and the other surnamed Zhu. Both of them are people with foreign surnames, and both moved in from outside.

Looking at the clothes of the two and how much they cherish when eating, it can be seen that they are people whose family conditions are not very good.

Meng Ge was willing to help some diligent and harmless people, so he instructed Tang Simei to cook more meals every day. And the rest was given to them to take home to eat.

Meng Ge's food is full of oil and water, and the tube is enough to manage the full, even if they come to work hard to open up the wasteland, the two men are growing meat at a speed that can be seen by the naked eye.

Basically, on the day the dinner was put up, the faces of the two men looked a lot ruddy.

Of course, both of them had a little black and red, and the ruddy was not visible if they didn't look closely.

Without contrast, there is no harm.

Originally, Meng Ge didn't notice the change in the two men. After all, she and the two of them meet every day, and they are all buried in cultivation, where will she pay special attention to the faces of the two.

It's just that those folks have seen obvious changes.

Originally, those two men, like most of the men in the village, were all dishes. Even if the face is black and red, you can see it.

On the day of the dinner, two men were also invited to help with the work of chopping wood and carrying water.

Tang Xiaomei, the little daughter-in-law who led the way for Meng Ge and the others, was also invited to help Zhang Luo wash vegetables and cook something.

When several women are together, the most talked about topics are nothing more than the affairs of the in-laws' family, or the boys' children.

Speaking of men, several people couldn't help but think of the Meng Ge family's wasteland.

"Hey, I said did you notice, the man of the Wang family, and the Zhu family brothers have been looking a lot better recently. I heard that the Yu family's food is good, and there are meat dishes to eat at every meal. Aunt Tang Qi whispered to a few people.

"Why didn't you notice. Those two had only been helping out for a few days, and I was already gaining weight. I also saw that Wang Dagui took a lot of food home and gave it to his two boys. Tang Min's daughter-in-law said.

"No, yesterday my Xiaolian went to Zhu's house to play with someone's little girl, and I got half a radish shredded beef patty to eat. Tang Simei's sister-in-law said in the lobby.

Tang Xiaomei listened to it with hot eyes, so she asked, "I don't know if the Meng family is still short of people to help." If there is still a shortage, I will let Chun'er and his father go too. ”

When the women heard this, they all thought it was a good idea, and they began to ponder it.

Meng Ge sat in the hall and chatted with the so-called clan elders. Basically, it's those individuals who ask something, and Meng Ge picks up the answers.

If you can't reply, or don't want to reveal it, Meng Ge will laugh back.

Eventually, those people led the conversation to the land reclamation.

"I heard that you are asking someone to help clear the land, but I don't know if there are enough people. An uncle of Tang Lizheng asked.

Meng Ge nodded in response: "Hey, the two of them are about the same." There are only three people in our family, and we won't be able to plant that much land for a while. ”

"That's not good to waste the land. Now you can only be exempted from paying taxes for next year, and you will lose your land if you waste it. Besides, those fields can be planted for one year and then fertilized for one year. It's better to plant it earlier. An old man with the surname Fu said.

Meng Ge thought about it, this is exactly what happened. However, she and Yu Yang do not have three heads and six arms, and they will definitely not be able to plant so much in the future.

"That's not afraid. When the time comes, we'll spare a little manpower to help you all pick it up, and you won't miss the festival for a while. Tang Lizheng said with a smile.

Meng Ge thought to himself, he must have to go into the mountains to hunt and collect medicine, and asking someone to help take care of those fields would not be a problem, so he agreed to it.

"If you want me to say, all your thirteen acres of medium land have been planted with rice. The land was right next to the waterfall. Even the remaining seven acres are almost all planted with wheat and sorghum. Uncle Tang Qi took a sip of tea and stroked his beard that was wet with tea.

"Well, let's do it. I hadn't planted my own land before, so I really didn't know how to do it. At that time, it will depend on the uncles and grandfathers. Menggo agreed crisply.

After listening to Meng Ge's words, those individuals vied with her to recommend their own people.

"The useless one in my family, the things on the side will not be, and I still have a lot of strength. He will also plant a field and be a good hand at picking up crops. Uncle Tang Qi took the lead.

"Hey, little nephew Yu Fei, your two brothers have a good body, just enough to help you pull the plow. Tang Lizheng's cousin said.

Meng Ge responded to everyone with a grin, and finally picked five more from those people's recommendations, and said that he didn't want to add any more people.

"My fourth sister cooks so many meals by herself, and she is so tired. Besides, there is only so much land, eight people, plus nine of me, and it can be cleaned up in a while. Meng Ge scratched his head and said.

In the hall, all the elders surrounded Meng Ge and kept talking, and they no longer regarded her as an outsider.

More than a dozen old women who were specially invited also sat cross-legged on the big kang behind the partition of the hall. While gossiping, he listened quietly to the movement outside.

After learning that Meng Ge had invited five more people, the old women who had not been invited to the family felt uncomfortable.

"According to me, the ground is not yet open, and the barley must not be raked out and then leveled? A thin woman raised her sparse eyebrows and said in a shrill voice.

"That's right. If it is not finished when it snows, I will wait for the spring of the next year to get it, but I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with the mango planting season. Another younger, fancy old woman chimed in.

"It's only a matter of ten or twenty acres of land, and they are busy for a month, and it's almost over. It will only be the end of winter. I'm afraid that the snow won't come so fast. "This is the voice of Uncle Li Zhengtang.

Uncle Tang, that is, Tang Xiaomei's mother, has always been soft, kind and upright.

"Ouch, I said old sister-in-law, what you said. We're just anxious for that little offspring. The spy was a little louder.

Meng Ge listened to the scene inside, and was afraid that there would be an argument, so he had a headache.

Fortunately, the movement inside was quickly resolved by the kind-hearted Uncle Tang. It's a pity that the atmosphere is still stiff.

I thought that these were already the worst things. Unexpectedly, when the banquet was opened, there were still moths.

Looking at the group of children who were scrambling to stand at the table, crowded around the adults, Meng Ge's brow jumped.

In this case, I am afraid that there will be three more tables of dishes.

Moreover, the children not only ate it, but also took it.
