(It's on the shelves, please order it first.) Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info)

After Yang Yun and Yang Yong returned to Zhoujia Village, they went to the wasteland at the foot of the right mountain to help, and Yang Yun had gone to the town to customize an iron-toothed rake, so that several children no longer had to pick up grass roots and small stones. Yang Yun took a few children to pull a lot of vines and reinforce the wooden fences around the outside of the wasteland, some of which had been crooked by wild objects and had to be re-nailed to the wood.

After two days, Yang Yong went to the town to retrieve the iron-toothed rake, Yang Yun got the iron-toothed rake and asked his grandfather to tie it to the back of the ox ploughing the field, and then let the oxen drag the iron-toothed rake, combing the ground back and forth on the wasteland, and after a while, he raked out a lot of weed roots and small stones, which was much faster than manual pick-up. Yang Yun felt that every time she made these things, she was actually lazy, and of course it was also to reduce her grandfather's burden.

Six days later, Yang Yun and Yang Yong went to the town to take out the four-wheeled cart, on the way home, Yang Yun sat in the car and let Yang Yong pull her for a while, but unfortunately the dirt road is uneven, Yang Yun sat on the car and bumped so that her buttocks hurt, Yang Yun thought that the wasteland on the right side of the mountain is quite smooth, but the road back to the house group is full of potholes, if you tell Zhou Lizheng about the benefits of this four-wheeled cart, let every family in the village play a cart, everyone will not have to pick up food when they are busy with farming, and they can't straighten up until they are waist. Then encourage the whole village to build a road that is relatively smooth and wide, which is good for everyone, isn't there a saying: If you want to get rich first, you must build a road first.

After the four-wheeled car was pulled home, Yang Xuan and Xiaobao were so happy that they were about to jump into the sky, and the two of them sat in the car and asked Yang Yong to pull them around in the courtyard of the Yang family. Yang Yun let them play for a while and drove them out of the car, and then went to the utility room to take out a load of bamboo baskets, put them on the car to see how many bamboo baskets could be placed, this four-wheeled cart can just put four bamboo baskets. In the future, Uncle Li and Grandpa can directly use the cart to pull water and fertilizer, and Yang Yun sincerely praised the real use of this four-wheeled cart.

It took seven days to plow the twelve acres of wasteland at the foot of the right hill, two of which were spent combing back and forth with an iron-toothed rake. After plowing the wasteland, Yang Yun asked the two families to pick out the fertilizer from the two big pits, and then evenly sprinkle it on the wasteland.

It took the two families a total of 10 days to turn over 12 acres of wasteland and apply fertilizer. Grandpa, they looked at the time and said that they would have to wait for another half a month or so before they could start growing food. Yang Yun has always wanted to find some relatively high-yield crops to grow, but there are only a few kinds of grain in Zhoujia Village, rice, corn, wheat, and sweet potatoes.

Yang Yun went to the grain store to look for seeds, but the seeds in the grain store are all commonplace, and there are no relatively high-yield plants to grow, it would be nice to have potatoes, but unfortunately this would really not find such a thing. Yang Yun had no choice but to work fertilizer. Plus grandpa and they have their own decisions, in the area of growing food, Yang Yun really doesn't have much right to speak, and it is impossible for a few adults to let Yang Yun waste the ground.

Grandpa is planning to plant spring wheat on twelve acres of wasteland, and Yang Yun plans to plant sweet potatoes on a few acres of wasteland. Of course, sweet potatoes cannot be eaten as the main food. But Yang Yun is planning to use sweet potatoes to dry sweet potato flour, and then make some snacks from her previous life, so that she can also help her family make some money. There is still half a month to plant food, and Yang Yun feels that there is still time to convince her grandfather.

In the vegetable garden in the backyard of the house, some vegetables are already ready to eat, Yang Yun picks some of the vegetables that are too closely planted to eat, and the hens in the front yard of the house can also collect a few eggs a day, Yang Yun asked his grandfather to buy thirty chickens again, and now there is land at home, and when the time comes, you can feed the chickens with some bran mixed with vegetable leaves, plus spring is coming, there are wild vegetables everywhere, are you afraid that the chickens will have nothing to eat.

When the two families had dinner together that night, Yang Yun discussed the road repair with his grandfather, and finally his grandfather and Uncle Li also thought that this method was good, and before the spring ploughing, let the whole village build a smooth and wide road from the back mountain to the house group.

Uncle Li discussed with his grandfather and decided to take the four-wheeled cart to find Zhou Lizheng tomorrow. The next day, Grandpa and Uncle Li waited until the end of the day before pulling the four-wheeled cart to Zhoulizheng's house, and chose such a late time to let the villagers see the appearance of the four-wheeled cart. Sure enough, all the way to Zhou Lizheng's house, Grandpa and Uncle Li greeted many villagers on the road, and the villagers were curious about the car, and Uncle Li replied directly that he would tell everyone later that they had something to find Zhou Lizheng. The villagers were reluctant to say anything when they saw Uncle Li, so they had to hold back their curiosity and wait for Uncle Li to tell them later.

"Are you home during the week?" Uncle Li went up and knocked on the door.

"Here, who?" Someone from Zhou Lizheng's family answered the door, and the door quickly opened, and it was Zhou Lizheng himself who opened the door.

"You're at home this week, and it's just so happening that you're looking for something." Uncle Li greeted Zhou Li first.

"It turned out to be Uncle Yang and Brother Li, please come to the house." Grandpa and Uncle Li followed Zhou Lizheng into Zhou's house, and Uncle Li carried the cart into the house.

"Brother Li, what are you carrying?" Zhou Li was looking at Uncle Li carrying a four-wheeled cart and was very curious.

"Zhou Lizheng, I'm looking for you today because of this cart pulling." Uncle Li went straight to the point and talked to Zhou Li honestly.

"Brother Li, what's the matter?"

"This four-wheeled cart is newly made, it can carry a lot of things, so I want to talk to Zhou Lizheng, if the villagers are also willing, every household can play one, and when it comes to farming, this cart can pull hundreds of catties of grain at a time, and everyone no longer has to pick up food and can't straighten their waists."

"This cart really has such benefits."

"Yes, you can try, if there is something heavy in the house, you can put it on it and see if it can be pulled."

"If there is really this practicality, then the village people will not only be able to improve the speed of work, but also be convenient for transporting things, which is for the benefit of the village, Brother Li, you are really interesting."

"Zhou Lizheng, it's just that the cart is easy to use, but you have also seen the road in the village, either the potholes, or the road is too small, this cart and food can't pass at all, today I came to talk to Zhou Lizheng, just want you to talk to the villagers, build a relatively wide road in the back mountain to the village house group, so that you can use this cart."

"Some people in the village have indeed said that the roads in the village are not easy to walk, and there are often people who wrestle with grain during the busy farming season, but they are not willing to let the villagers build the roads."

"Li Zheng, you take out the benefits of this cart to tell everyone, if you can help everyone reduce the burden of farming, but also improve the efficiency of work, who in the village is not willing to use it, plus some villagers do not have much labor in their homes, with this cart to help them, they will be willing."

"Brother Li makes sense to say this, then this cart should stay here first, and after it is announced to the villagers, let everyone see the use of the cart and then return the cart."

"It's okay, you can just send it back after you use it, by the way, there is a sample of this four-wheeled cart on the Yang family's side, if the villagers want to pull the cart, they can go to the Yang family to get the sample drawing, or go to the town to make an iron shop, which is built by Master Tian's shop, and this cart is made over there." By the way, Uncle Li also explained the source of the drawings of the custom-made cart.

"Okay, I'll trouble Uncle Yang then." Zhou Li is thanking his grandfather.

"Where, it would be nice to be able to help everyone." Grandpa humbly excused himself.

Grandpa and Uncle Li finished talking to Zhou Lizheng and went home.

In the afternoon, there were bursts of gongs in the village, thinking that Zhou Li was informing everyone to discuss the matter of building the road, Yang Yun didn't like to join in the excitement, so she went directly to the backyard to help pull weeds in the vegetable garden, and by the way, picked up some vegetable leaves to feed the chickens. Yang Yong and Dabao all ran to see the excitement, and waited for an hour before seeing Yang Yong come back.

"Brother, how is the road construction in the village?" Yang Yun saw Yang Yong coming back and hurriedly asked him, in fact, Yang Yun was also worried that no one would repair the road at that time, and the four-wheeled cart would be done in vain.

Li Zheng talked to everyone for a long time, and showed everyone the usefulness of the four-wheeled cart once, let people move a few large stones, which should also weigh hundreds of catties, and put them on the cart, and then one person can easily pull the cart. When the villagers saw that the role of this cart was so great, they all said that they wanted to make one. ”

"Of course the things designed by my sister are easy to use, did the villagers agree to build the road?" Yang Yun is very confident in the things she designed, although she is also a handcart in her previous life.

"You stink. Of course, the villagers were persuaded by Li Zheng, and Li Zheng was asking each family to contribute a laborer, of course, those who worked more could volunteer to help, but each family must send one person. Yang Yun heard that the villagers were willing to build roads, and finally let go, if the village could build roads, it would be of great help to Yang Yun's plan to become rich in the future.

"Do you say when the road will be built?"

"Li Zheng said that after looking at the days, it will start tomorrow, and everyone should finish the spring ploughing early, no one in the village cooks, so the laborers still eat at home, sister, our brother will go to repair the road, grandpa is old, and the ploughing is too tired during this time." Yang Yong is becoming more and more in charge.

"Okay, my brother is going to help, and my sister is going to help too." Yang Yun expressed her support for Yang Yong's decision, and of course she also had to help.

"Haha, what can you do with your few taels of meat, sister." Yang Yong made fun of her when she heard that Yang Yun was going to help.

"Hmph, brother, don't look down on others, although my sister doesn't have much strength, my sister can help everyone boil water, send water or something." Yang Yun felt that Yang Yong's little kid was getting worse and worse, Yang Yun made a face directly at Yang Yong, arguing with Yang Yong, Yang Yun felt that the more she lived, the more she went back.

"Okay, sister, you can do it." After Yang Yong finished fighting with Yang Yun, he went to the vegetable garden in the backyard with Yang Yun to pull out the grass. Yang Yong looked at the green vegetables in the vegetable garden, and was in a good mood, feeling that the family was getting better and better, and the days of poverty and lack of food in the past seemed to be a long time in the past.
