After talking at my grandfather's house, when I got home, I found that my uncle and aunt had left with their grandson.

Erya asked Xiaohu, who was still cleaning up the yard: "Uncle, are they gone?" Why don't you eat here? ”

Xiaohu frowned and said, "They left without breakfast, and my uncle originally wanted to sit at my house more and talk to us." It's the eldest aunt who is in a hurry, urging her to leave! I said let my aunt go back by herself, and leave my uncle for a few days, I don't know why my uncle also went with me when I saw my aunt leave! ”

Erya thought, maybe the eldest aunt was angry with herself last night, I'm afraid I can't stay for a long time, if it wasn't too late yesterday, it is estimated that I would have run away last night. At the moment, he said unconcernedly: "Oh! In a few days, let Xiaolong take me over to see my uncle, and make a few clothes to send over by the way! ”

"Hey! That's good! Pay attention to see if your aunt is angry with your uncle at home! ”

"That's a matter between their husband and wife, so leave it alone! But! If I dare to bully my uncle, I won't make her feel better! ”

Xiaohu saw that his daughter-in-law was still carrying a big basket, so he asked curiously, "What is this?" How does it seem to have a pig's large intestine! ”

Erya handed the basket to Xiaohu to show him, and said with a smile: "In the past, every family had a lot of yellow wolves to feed, and I wanted to eat dry and fat sausages, but I was embarrassed to rush with them." Now only Uncle and Grandpa Qiang's house have a few yellow wolves, and no one is rushing to ask for internal organs. When the big milk was cleaned up, I asked me if I wanted it, so I took the large intestine and pork belly, thinking of making a dry fat sausage and an old hen stewed pork belly, which are all classic dishes! So that Brother Chen can taste the peasant dishes that he can't usually eat! ”

Chen Dagongzi, who was teasing Wen Yue and Wen Chao to play with Wen Chao on the eaves, heard him talk about him, so he responded with a smile: "That brother and sister can use dim sum and do better!" I'm very picky! ”

Xiaolong is not a person who is really serious about reading, and he can even be distracted to listen to the people in the courtyard. Not to be left behind, he shouted loudly in the room: "Sister-in-law! I'm going to eat sweet and sour pork ribs! ”

Er Ya smiled and looked at the many bones under the basket, which were the ribs, cavity bones, and thigh bones that were taken out when making sausages, and the big also took a lot of them for Er Ya to put in them. Unexpectedly, Xiaolong actually had a pair of see-through eyes.

After eating at noon, Grandpa Beidi came over and said that everyone had discussed it. It's the same as before, because the qiē remains the same, and there is nothing to clean up, so you can set off in the afternoon.

This time, the people of the Northland still came according to the arrangement last time, those who stayed still stayed, and those who left still left, but when they left this time, everyone stopped crying. All of them are full of confidence and hope, and they are walking with happiness!

The people who stayed were also happy and happy, Wang Niangzi and her son Goudan stayed, and the Shi family and the whole family followed. The two boys of the Shi family cried and didn't want to leave, but they were finally forced to get into the carriage.

Before leaving, Erya specially explained to Xiaohu: "When you are in the grassland, you must collect the grass seeds over there, the more the better!" Our barren mountain, that kind of mountain grass is not suitable for grazing horses or sheep. I'm ready to harvest the middle rice. So you cleared the grass from the barren mountain, and waited for it to be replanted with the grass seeds you brought back. ”

Xiaohu agreed. Followed the horde de la carte away!

Only three or four days after they left, they heard that Daman was going to chase after him, but he was stopped by the uncle, and even beat him, and Erya also heard about their separation. But none of these guys want to pay much attention.

After she asked Xiaolong to take her to see her uncle once, she began to ask someone to be busy harvesting the middle rice. After finishing the middle rice, I was busy asking someone to sort out the barren mountains.

The academy is after the Northlanders are gone. School started, and Erya explained to Xiaolong: "Xiaolong! You take Wen Chao to study in the school at home, and I will take Wen Yue and the nurse to deal with the affairs of the barren mountain. Okay? ”

"Okay! Wen Chao listens to me very much, sister-in-law go get busy! Leave him alone. ”

Erya went to the barren mountain called Putou Mountain, and asked Liu Wenzhu and Sun Huawen to help take dozens of surrounding villages. Each village found a leader who could speak effectively, and they all summoned them to the barren mountain.

Erya said to them, "I will remove the weeds from this mountain, and I will turn them out by the roots." I can recycle the grass cut down for ten cents a stone, and you can also keep it for your own family to build a house.

I will pay for the number of acres, and the salary of 300 wen per mu will be completed as long as it can be completed before April next year! Nothing else.

In addition, not a single pine tree can be cut down! If you want to do something, you can sign up with me now, and I'll count the number of people so I can determine if I need to find someone else to help. ”

The leader of a Huangtang Zhuangzi asked, "Then can I carve out a piece of mountainous land with you first, and then go to find someone to work?" ”

Erya nodded: "Yes!" As long as you can complete the task with quality and quantity by April next year. ”

Another also asked, "Do you want to eat?" ”

Erya shook her head: "I'm far away, I can't control this!" In fact, you can calculate that at the end of the day, you can earn a lot! Ten stones of mountain grass can be sold to me for 100 wen, and cutting mountain grass does not require strong labor, now that the farm work is also idle, you can go out with the whole family, three or four hundred wen a day is no problem, compared to only a dozen wen a day, it is a lot more earning! ”

Everyone else nodded, thinking that what Erya said was good.

Everyone was tempted, so they anxiously asked, "When will it start?" ”

Erya saw that the mountain grass had withered and yellowed, and when she harvested it, she didn't even need to dry it, and she could burn the fire. He said loudly: "If there is nothing going on in your family, you can start today!" You first divide the boundaries of the land that you want to make, and then I will measure it according to the boundaries that you have set for me.

Mountain grass is purchased with cash, and the wages for sorting out the mountains will be measured and settled together until you are completely organized. The barren mountain is so big that I can't measure it one by one, and I can't remember the boundaries of the previous measurements. ”

A few people were a little hesitant, and most of them had no opinion. The leader of Liukoutang Village was more impatient, and shouted loudly: "If any of you are willing to do it, come here, and we will discuss how to divide the line, is it to set the stump?" Or pull the rope? Or trenching? Everyone, try to get an idea, I'm in a hurry to get started! ”

All of a sudden, most of the people surrounded them, and a small number of people who were still hesitant also hurriedly followed.

After they discussed, Erya gave each of them a tael of silver, "This is the money for you to buy tools, you had better take advantage of the time of mowing the grass to find a blacksmith shop to make a kind of three-toothed iron claws, turn the ground quickly, and grasp the grass roots quickly." ”

Everyone hadn't heard of it, so they looked at Erya in confusion, and Erya remembered that they might not have seen it, so she hurriedly followed up and said: "I will tell the blacksmith in Sù town what it looks like, you go directly to the blacksmith and say what you want to fight!" Also, you don't need to send the grass to my house, just put it in the open space next to the town school, and I will arrange for someone to weigh you and pay for it! ”

"Good! Owner, can we go back and arrange it now? ”

"Yes! Go ahead and get busy! Ay! That's right! If anyone has a mulberry sapling, please help inform me, I will buy it for fifteen cents! I'm going to plant saplings between March and April next year. ”

"Good! We'll definitely bring it! While answering Erya's words, they happily carried the silver coins in their hands and went back to prepare tools and gather men.

Uncle didn't know about such a big thing until the second girl was arranged, and when he returned home, he didn't call himself, so he couldn't help but feel a little lost. ran to ask Erya: "Xiaohu daughter-in-law, why don't you ask me to help with such a big matter?" Did Daman's daughter-in-law make you angry? ”

The second girl hurriedly comforted the uncle: "Uncle! Don't think about it, I think it's simple, don't bother, just arrange it yourself! However, when the mulberry tree is to be planted next year, it may be necessary to have an uncle. That tree not only has to be planted but also guaranteed to survive, so it needs to be bothered! ”

When the uncle heard his nephew and daughter-in-law say this, he was happy to know that Erya didn't look for himself because he was estranged from his family. said happily: "Xiaohu is not at home, you still have to take the child, don't run around, if there is anything, call me and your second uncle, you can't have a relationship with us!" It's all a family, don't say anything that you're afraid of trouble! You know? ”

Er Ya nodded again and again, and said in a loud voice: "Yes! Yes! Uncle rest assured, Xiaohu and I have never been separated from the uncle and the second uncle, but there has been a drought in the past two years, and there is nothing wrong, so there is no trouble for you, and when I want to find you in the future, I am afraid of more! ”

Uncle smiled: "Hmm! That's right! If you have something, you should come to us! ”

A few days later, the uncle came. Erya was busy directing people to separate the old rice and the new rice and the wax millet. Seeing that the uncle had moved to the backyard, he stepped forward to say hello: "Uncle, why are you here?" How do you handle your wax millet? My family has a granary, but it's not easy to put it! ”

Uncle Zou frowned and said, "My family is also worried!" In addition to giving some out, there are still a lot left, and they are tired of the ways you said to eat, and they don't eat them now. It's worthless to sell it, it's not worth selling it, you really want to feed the livestock, and you can't bear it! ”

The second girl scratched her head in annoyance, what can I do? Originally, corn was eaten as a coarse grain for adjustment, and it was not often eaten as a staple food, but there were too many of them in this family! I knew that I would go to the Northland, and the Northland should be strict about the lack of food now! In this way, the grain can be spread out on the spot!

Thinking of this, Erya's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said to the uncle: "Uncle! If we set up another caravan and pull all our surplus grain to the Northland tribesmen, we will sell it on the spot, anyway, there are people in the Northland, and there is a place to put the grain! Although corn may be a little cheaper over there than ours, it is definitely easier to sell than ours! What do you think, uncle? ”

Uncle nodded happily, "This is a good idea!" I'll go back and talk to your grandfather!" As he spoke, he turned around and ran away, forgetting to say what he was doing here to find Erya! (To be continued......)
