When it was time to start the meal, the second girl, the eldest aunt, and the second aunt were busy taking care of the children before preparing for dinner.

Although Anzi's daughter-in-law also joined to help, she still felt that they didn't need to do it themselves at all, until when she went to bed at night, Anzi explained to her: "Don't always think that the second sister-in-law is stupid, in fact, you yourself with your two sons should also know that the child will get sick if he is negligent, and this is on the road again, and the child must not miss the slightest." Also, the second sister-in-law has been her caregiver since she took over these children, and she knows what the situation of the children is, and she can find out in time once the children are uncomfortable. If you let go of someone you don't know and fail to find out that something is wrong with your child in time, isn't it a big disaster? ”

Anzi's daughter-in-law defended: "I'm not saying that the second sister-in-law is stupid, but I feel that she doesn't know how to deal with things from this matter, why can she still earn such a big family business in a short period of time!" ”

Anzi laughed out loud, "The second sister-in-law doesn't know how to be flexible? Then you couldn't be more wrong. The second sister-in-law is to seek the greatest flexibility in a safe way, which is not something that ordinary people can do. These children, only because they have not yet arrived home, the second sister-in-law has to take care of them herself. When they arrived at home, the family was full of skilled hands who took care of the children, and the second sister-in-law handed over to them the booklet that recorded the daily life of the children, and she would not interfere in anything with the children. This is only temporary! ”

As Anzi spoke, he suddenly changed his head again: "That's right! Tomorrow morning, the second sister-in-law will go out to check the farmland purchased in Kuyang County, a suburb of the state capital, and I am afraid that she will not be able to come back until the evening. You help take care of the children, so that the eldest aunt and my mother will not be busy. ”

When Anzi's daughter-in-law heard this, she pouted and wanted to say: Look! Do not buy slaves and maidservants to take care of children. That's the problem, right? After thinking about it, I endured it, lest the public say that she was too serious and mean.

However, she was familiar with Kuyang County: "Oops! Isn't Kuyang County where you used to work? How did I not know that my second sister-in-law's family had a piece of farmland there? ”

"That's because the second sister-in-law said that she couldn't let people know that the owner of that place was related to me, so as not to be made a fuss by someone with a heart, so no one said anything. Most of the hot pot restaurants, barbecue restaurants, and markets in the north that sell aquatic products and out-of-season dishes are sent from here. This field has also earned a lot in recent years! The field you married can earn so much, and it is also thanks to the supervisor sent by the second sister-in-law. Help grow and sell together. If you rely on your family's head of the village, I'm afraid that your annual income will not be enough to buy rouge and jewelry. ”

Anzi's daughter-in-law whispered in surprise: "Ah! That Director Liu turned out to be from the second sister-in-law's family?! He has been helping me plant and harvest and sell my field, and I thought they were trying to trick you. So I never thought to ask. If you don't say it today, I'm afraid I'll keep it in the dark. In this way, I owe my second sister-in-law a lot of favors! ”

"It's all a family that says something human! The eldest brother and sister-in-law helped us open up so much land in Yangquan, if we were like outsiders, we would count it according to human feelings. You can't afford it! ”

Anzi's daughter-in-law has nothing to say. There are more than 20,000 acres of land, except for the mines included in it, which are mined by the eldest brother and the second brother's family. Although her family only had to produce from the field, they could net more than 10,000 taels of silver a year, and the husband and wife and the husband and wife were not bothered, sitting at home and taking the silver.

Several sisters of her mother's family were envious and hated to fall with themselves, and every time they went back to their parents' house to get together, they had to say a few sour words and were scolded by their mother.

As far as she knew, she had never heard of any brother so close to each other as the Wang family. There are no brothers born to a mother. Not to mention the cousins who are separated by their fathers and mothers.

Early the next day, Erya mounted his horse and went alone to the field in the suburbs. This field was originally purchased to help Anzi with his political achievements and to supply the newly opened hot pot restaurant in Yuzhou Prefecture. also deliberately transferred Liu Dahai, who is the best at serving farmland. Due to the greater need for aquatic products such as loaches and yellow eels, Erya changed all this field into a breeding field for aquatic products and rice. It's just that the fields here are plains, and there are no big rivers or small rivers, only a big river in the distance that goes from west to east. Their water conservancy consisted of digging several shallow and small ponds, which were connected to deep ditches leading to the big river, which were also dug by hand.

The locals all grow crops that crop twice a year, one season of winter wheat and one season of medium rice, wheat is used as a dry grain, and it does not need much water, and it is enough to rely on a rain every now and then. When it is time to plant medium rice, it is just in time for the rainy season, so this kind of water conservancy is completely useful for the locals. It's just that for Erya, who wants to set up rice fields, such water conservancy is almost useless. She also asked her for help because Liu Dahai had been planting for a year, and there was no way to make a paddy field for the whole year, so she followed Xiaohu to run over on horseback and carried out water conservancy transformation for the fields here.

The construction of water conservancy here is much simpler than that of a group of dryland in Liujialing, which is higher than the river. As long as the reservoir is repaired from high to low, each reservoir of more than 30 acres ensures that 200 acres of fields do not dry up in winter and spring.

This Kuyang County is located on the outskirts of Yuzhou Prefecture, but it is also a poor place. Because they can only grow two crops a year, and in addition to agricultural taxes and other miscellaneous taxes, they simply don't have enough to chew for a year. Those who have access to the state capital do odd jobs to earn some extra money, and those who do not have access to stay at home to save money and dry consumption.

The Erya family wanted to find someone to dig the reservoir here, because the project was relatively large, and they were worried that it would be difficult to find so many people, but as soon as their information was sent, there were people running to work dozens of miles away.

Erya originally planned to dig all the reservoirs in two to three years, but he didn't expect to dig them in one winter and one spring. First of all, because there are many people who come to work, and secondly, the people at this time are really working hard. Of course, there are also foreign workers, but the second girl will arrange, they are all a group of four people, demarcate two fixed pieces of land every day, and after digging a piece of land on the same day, they will be paid according to the original salary of 30 wen per day (not including food and drink), and if they can dig two pieces of land, they will be given double the salary of 60 wen (in addition, each person will share half a catty of meat to go back to replenish the body). Who wants to grind foreign workers. The first thing to think about is whether the rest of the group can spare him.

The short-term workers are working hard, and some of them can't wait to give them more land so that they can earn a little more. But Er Ya knew that people's physical strength was there, and once they were overloaded, they would overdo it. But it's very life-threatening. She doesn't have the ruthless heart to take people's lives without risking their lives, so she fixes each group of plots to be dug in two, and no one can dig more if they want to!

The reservoir was dug a year earlier, and Erya could earn money a year earlier, and her annual income was not a decimal. Therefore, I am also grateful to the short-term workers who come to work here, and I try to make their land as productive and profitable as possible.

Because it is impossible for everyone to raise loaches and yellow eels, they can only think of other tricks. First, the rice is harvested and then interplanted on the dry land. The second is to raise ducks in the middle rice fields, then to grow out-of-season vegetables, then to grow watermelons and other valuable side jobs, and finally to use the shallow ponds of each family. Raise lotus root and raise all kinds of fish.

At the beginning, they couldn't believe Erya, and they didn't dare to do it no matter how Erya persuaded them. Erya really had no choice, so she had to give the two families a year's normal income. Then take the fields and ponds of the two families as a demonstration. It wasn't until the second year of success that people followed the trend one after another, and finally some of the methods of increasing production given to them by Erya were effectively implemented.

But in four or five years, Erya came here again, and the scene he saw was very different. Perhaps the ancient ethnic groups of the Central Plains put housing first in their bones, and the people in this place and the Wang family are the same character. How the food is, Er Ya can't see it, but almost every house has changed. Most of the low, dilapidated houses with mud walls and straw roofs are gone. In its place are new brick houses with brick walls and tiled roofs, high courtyard walls, and spacious gatehouses.

The children who played in the open space in the village have also changed, and the tattered clothes that used to have patches on their clothes and patches of cloth on them are gone. The children's clothes are not new, although they are not new clothes. But everyone is neatly dressed, and the boys wear their own men's clothes, and the girls wear their own normal clothes that are in season.

During the period of time I came here for the first time, Erya often saw boys wearing mother's clothes that had been changed to a younger age, and girls wore rotten cotton jackets in autumn, winter, and spring that I don't know how many times they had been mended. All of them have gray faces, messy heads, blank eyes, dull faces, and slow reactions, and they do not have the liveliness and happiness that a child should have. Erya knows that this is the sequelae of severe lack of nutrition and long-term hunger! She didn't have any good tricks at that time, but fortunately, her family needed someone to dig a reservoir, and every family here had labor, and half a pound of meat earned in winter and spring was enough for their family to eat and drink well for a year. In addition, later the family learned to intercrop and breed sidelines, and the days got better and better, and these children gradually got better. At this moment, all of you are running after me with joy on their faces, and there is no trace of the hardships they once had.

"Look! There was a man on a big horse. A child saw Erya riding by from a distance, pointed and shouted at his little playmates.

Although their family is doing well, Malaysia is still a luxury that they cannot hope for. Children rarely have the opportunity to see the world in the county, so there are still many children who do not know Malaysia. They exclaimed to each other: "Oh! That's Malaysia! It's so high! ”

"Humph! I don't think it's as big as my cow! What's so good! ”

"Oops! What do you know? My dad said Malaysia was worth a lot! One horse can be exchanged for a dozen cows. ”

"Humph! My family has a lot of money, so I asked my father to buy a big horse to come to the house. ”

A child next to him couldn't help but whisper to his companion: "The dog rake is the best at bragging, and last time he also said that his mother bought him a lot of candy in the county town and took us to his house to see, but there was nothing." He also broke the sugar jar in his house, and was caught and beaten so badly by his mother! ”

"That's it, now it's bragging again!"

There was a teenager who was also looking at the horse with envy, and when he saw the woman on the horse, he suddenly squinted his eyes and shouted loudly: "I know the aunt who rode the horse, and she is the lady of the proprietor who has a lot of money." Fast! Go and tell your family that the rich lady is here! ”

"Hey!" The children scattered and ran home. (To be continued......)

PS: Hi! If you can't keep up with it once, you can't keep up every time, it's really anxious!
