Chapter Seventy-Five: Guoguo, No!
"Well, those who have fields can plant them themselves. ~Sui~Dream~Small~Say~Ρww~mΠ΅ng~lΔWhat about those who don't have fields? β
Guoguo's mind couldn't turn for a while, "When people's livelihood is difficult, it works well to organize everyone to do infrastructure construction, but there doesn't seem to be any project in our village." β
"What is infrastructure?"
The other three immediately noticed the difference in Guoguo's words.
"Oh, this, that's it, for example, paving roads, clearing wasteland, repairing river embankments and ancestral halls, anyway, it's all messy, things that everyone has in common, that is, infrastructure construction."
Guoguo secretly stuck out his tongue in his heart.
"You can build canals and open up wasteland."
Shi Lei quickly calculated in his heart, "Count the fields in the village, redistribute them, repair all the canals, and open up all the wasteland on the side." β
"You mean, redistribution?"
Guoguo wondered.
"In the past two years, many people have left the village, and their family's original fields have not been counted."
Shi Lei nodded.
It is indeed a way to count the barren land and distribute it.
"However, wasn't most of it taken up by the Liang family?"
Qingshu pointed out the facts, otherwise, Li Zheng would have been assigned a long time ago.
"Is it enough for a family per acre? Do you know how much was taken up by the Liang family? β
Guoguo was surprised.
Qingshu nodded, and the enemy's dynamics naturally paid more attention.
"One acre is enough for one family. There are only five or six families who really don't have land, and the others still rely on it to some extent. I'll just tell Li Zheng, you just need to plant the sweet potatoes well. β
Shi Lei decisively concluded, "They are all unreasonable, but they are afraid of me." β
"Aren't you afraid of them?"
Guoguo giggled, "Actually, it's just forced, in a few days, the crops won't go to the ground, this year's harvest is not good, everyone is in a hurry." β
"Just listen to me anyway."
Shi Lei suddenly felt that the more he broke with Guoguo, the more chaotic it became.
Guoguo shrugged his shoulders in dismay.
"Guoguo, it's not your business, don't worry about it, think more about Dr. Wang's side."
Cao'er reminded her, "Before, who did you help watch what?" Shouldn't I check it out again? Also, you were going to the mountains before, and I have secretly made shoes for you, don't let your mother know. β
"yes, that's a lot going on."
Guoguo sighed, simply clapped her hands and stood up, "You pick, I'll write something." β
"Brother Shi, why is the person who gave you so many sweet potatoes so mysterious?"
When Guoguo washed his hands, he realized that he had missed the point.
"Hmm. He loved those daggers. β
"All the drawings were given to him?"
"He copied it."
"Then what else can I get some money from him?"
Guoguo spread out the paper while thinking, "Brother Shi, let's do it, these sweet potatoes are still planted in my family's field, and after a month, everyone can come to my house to transplant them, and each household provides two acres of melon vines, which is enough to plant." Of course, during this time, everyone worked hard to help us get the silt in the pond, and the soil was so good that it sprouted. In a few days, after planting sweet potatoes, let's go into the mountains. β
Guoguo said while writing and drawing.
"What about your silkworms?"
Cao'er asked.
"Sister, I was about to tell you about this. Qingshu, you ask the big brother to lead someone to build a yard behind our house, build two simple houses, and hire someone to raise them there in the future. Sister, it's good that you can take care of this. I don't have any money to give you yet, so you can discuss with Brother Da Zhuang to see what to do. β
The fruit is also unambiguous.
"Brother Shi, you and Li Zheng will take stock of the land in the village and redistribute it. After the distribution, the elderly and children will stay at home, transplant the useful tree species in Daqing Mountain, and if there is nothing to plant this month, they will plant trees for a month, build roads for a month, dig canals for a month, and next month, they will be able to plant sweet potatoes. In order to solve the problem of eating, the young and strong laborers should go to the mountains with us, and they will not starve to death if they rely on the mountains to eat the mountains. β
Guoguo quickly cleared his mind.
"Guoguo, what should I do with my father's mother?"
Cao'er was a little worried, "You always rush forward like a boy, what if you get hurt again?" β
"Sister, our pond was only dug last year, how much silt is there this year? Do you know? β
Guoguo didn't want to discuss it.
"I have to ask Grandpa Da Zhuang about this, he should know about it."
The grass was bypassed unconsciously.
"Qingshu, you go and invite Grandpa Lizheng to come; Sister, you go to find Brother Da Zhuang to come over, and we will strive to plant sweet potatoes in the mud today. β
Guoguo felt that it couldn't be delayed, and there would be such and such problems if it was delayed.
"Didn't you cultivate the sprouts first?"
The grass and the green trees were puzzled.
"No, it's not cold now, I only needed it when the temperature was low before."
Guoguo didn't raise his head, "I suddenly found that life is very beautiful." β
I don't know what she's writing, the corners of her mouth are curled as if laughter is about to leak out anytime and anywhere.
Cao'er and Qingshu went out, and Shi Lei took a few pictures of daggers in: "He is very interested in these, if you can still paint, you can still sell them to him." β
"When will he come back?"
When Guoguo said this, he looked at Shi Lei's eyes, "Brother Shi, how can a person quietly move so many sweet potatoes in one night?" And isn't this sweet potato hard to find? β
Shi Lei also looked at Guoguo quietly and did not speak.
The two looked at each other quietly for a while, and Guoguo suddenly smiled: "Oh, the more I look at you, the more stylish you are, what should I do?" β
Shi Lei really looked away a little unconsciously.
"Tell me when you want to. In the past two days, I have tidied up our family's land and planted sweet potatoes, and then we will clean up and go into the mountains together. Brother Shi, you also have to earn some belongings, and if you don't marry a daughter-in-law, your aunt should be in a hurry. β
Guoguo said earnestly, and reached out to pat Shi Lei's shoulder, making Shi Lei's whole person awkward.
"What's the matter, you just have this expression when it comes to business, what about my aunt? Do you want me to call her and let her talk about you? β
Guoguo blew the paper in her hand, put it away, and then stood up: "Regardless of you, I'll go see my aunt, I'll be busy again when I'm here." β
Talking about it, he didn't care about Shi Lei, and walked to Aunt Shi's room familiarly.
Although her eyes were no longer visible, Aunt Shi was still skillfully weaving straw sandals, and the straw sandals were strong and durable, and Guoguo liked them very much.
Things went very smoothly, maybe out of Lizheng's request, or out of the urging of Grandma Ping, everyone soon helped Guoguo's family to get up the shallow silt in the pond, and also contributed a lot of grass and ash fertile land, and in one afternoon, four hundred catties of sweet potatoes were planted, two days faster than Guoguo expected.
The next day, some people went to count the land, and some people helped Guoguo's family build a yard shed, the materials were not enough, and the construction was very simple, but it was barely usable, and a few mulberry trees were transplanted in the yard, barely meeting the situation.
Perhaps after the turmoil at the ancestral hall that night and the gate of Guoguo's courtyard in the morning, everyone had no opinion on Li Zheng's words, and even expressed unprecedented enthusiasm.
Especially when planting sweet potatoes, I heard that this thing can yield more than 1,000 catties per mu, everyone is cautious, for fear of making mistakes, planting it during the day, and looking at the field at night before going home with peace of mind.
