The second watch, ask for pink.

**…………**

Even the old man wants to share the land! Lian Man'er was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it, she didn't feel strange. Lian's family originally had 30 acres of land, all of which were medium-to-high fields. They divided six acres of land, and the family now has only twenty-four acres of land.

But the current population of the Lian family is as many as 20, and the average person is less than one acre of land. Even if this acre of land is planted with sorghum or millet, the grain produced is calculated according to the highest yield, and it can only barely enough for a large family to eat. This is still considering that there are several children in the family who are young and do not eat so much. Moreover, it is necessary to continue to implement the food ration system of the Zhou family.

Lian Man'er had experienced Zhou's food rationing, and she believed that the food that Zhou's allowed everyone to eat didn't even reach a pound per person every day.

Lian Jia has experienced several changes one after another, and the family has been completely hollowed out. Even the old man's plan to sell the house in the town and buy land has come to naught. The Lian family now has more people and less land, and if they want to live a better life, it seems inevitable to cultivate land.

Although they had to pay a lot of rent for the tenants, they were able to save some surplus grain. The family has to add people to import, and they have to take care of family affairs, and these surplus grains can help the family make up for some shortfalls.

"This is about to be planted, when did my father say this, is the land now tenanted?" Lian Man'er asked Lian Shouxin.

"I've been talking about it for a few days." Lian Shouxin said, "I was told last night that I was going to write a lease today. ”

"Whose land is my grandfather planting? Did you say how many acres of land you want to share? Lian Man'er asked again.

"Who else can there be, it is Wang Ju's family. Your lord didn't say how much he wanted to share, this matter was said a little late, it depends on how much the king can give. Lian Shouxin sighed and said, "I don't think the old man is feeling good these days." I think back then, when our family had a lot of land, we also rented it to others to plant. ”

I have experienced renting land to others, then cultivating it myself, and selling it again and again. In the end, it was necessary for Chapter 277 to suddenly make a mistake and cultivate other people's land in order to maintain the livelihood of the family, even the people who were young at the time were a little gloomy. Not to mention the old man, who is in charge of the house.

"I'll go home and see if the old man has come back." As Lian Shouxin spoke, he stood up, "This is the first time we have farmed since the separation, and the old man is very worried." Let's start farming tomorrow, and I have to tell the old man about it. ”

Lian Man'er knows that this era. There is one of the filial piety of large families, which is called morning and dusk province. Before the family was separated, everyone lived together and ate at the same table. After the separation, Lian Shouxin and the Zhou family almost achieved the morning and dusk of the province. In addition to the fact that the shop opened too early, even Shouxin was really busy, every day before and after dinner. No matter how busy he is, he must go to the room to report. Sometimes, you can't get out of it. He will tell the Zhang family, or (the fastest update) a few children of Lian Man'er, to go to the room and talk to Old Man Lian and Zhou.

In addition, Lian Shouxin completely did the call of the old man and Zhou, and was on call.

In fact, there are not so many rules in the dealer's family, and after the separation, the general relationship is far away and close. But like Lian Shouxin, it is unique. Especially when he encounters something, he has to report this to Old Man Lian.

Lian Man'er knew that Lian Shouxin was not undecided. I want to ask Mr. Lian for advice. Lian Shouxin is just a deep admiration and respect for Old Man Lian, and it is out of habit over the years.

"Okay, let's all go back then." Zhang has no objection to Lian Shouxin's approach.

Even the old man is an old cropper, and he is old again. Rich experience. There are some things to talk to the old man Lian, and the old man is likely to give them a wake-up call or some good advice.

The premise is that they have to make up their minds.

Speaking of which, since the separation, for the things that their family discussed together, even keeping promises has always been carried out well. Even if someone said something, he was a little shaken, but in the end he still respected the decision of his wife and children.

However, in order to avoid extraneous complications and help Lian Shouxin and Zhang's make up their minds, Lian Man'er consciously followed behind the two and returned to the old mansion.

…………

In the upper room, even the old man, Lian Shouren, Zhou and Lian Xiu'er were there. Old Man Lian had a piece of paper in his hand, and was talking to Lian Shouren about something, when he saw Lian Shouxin's family coming, he stopped talking and beckoned them to sit down.

"Dad, is the land all shared?" Lian Shouxin asked.

"It's done." Old Man Lian nodded, and handed the deed paper in his hand to Lian Shouxin.

Lian Shouxin only knew a few words, looked at the deed paper, and handed it to Lian Man'er. Wulang and Xiao Qi all came over and looked at the deed paper with Lian Man'er.

"Master, you have thirty acres of land?" Lian Man'er asked as she looked at it.

Lian Shouren saw that Lian Man'er could read the deed paper, so he turned his head and looked at Lian Man'er for a while before looking away.

"Yes, I shared thirty acres of land with Wang Juren." Even the old man said, "It's just in the north, not far from the land at home, it's all good land." ”

Even the old man was talking, packed another bag of dry tobacco, lit a fire, and smoked it.

"I'm a little late to tell people, if I change people, I won't be able to get on the ground. It was Wang Juren who knew that we wanted to share the land, so he specially sent a message, so that we could land the thirty acres of land. …… People haven't asked me for a deposit yet, saying they can trust us. ”

In this era, the landlord rented land for people to plant, and before handing over the land, he had to collect a deposit, which was afraid that when the autumn harvest came, the renter would evade rent, or the renter would not cultivate well, so that the land would be wasted, and the landlord would suffer losses. This deposit is quite a lot, generally more than 10% more than the ground rent. Lianjia is in such a situation now, if you want to pay a deposit, it is very difficult. The Wang family does not charge a deposit, and even the old man breathed a sigh of relief and was very grateful to the Wang family.

"Dad, how much rent will I have to pay for these lands at that time?" Lian Shouxin asked again.

“…… The rent per acre of land is 170 catties. Lian Man'er looked at the deed paper and said, "It is written here that there are thirty acres of middle and upper grade fields, and the land rent is one hundred and seventy catties per mu." ”

"That's right." Even the old man nodded. "I've seen all the land, it's better than ours. This year, I will be able to take care of it, and I can make about 300 catties of grain per mu in autumn. After paying the rent and taxes, we can still have a hundred catties of fish. Wang Ju's family is a rare benevolent and righteous family, and this land rent can be regarded as the lowest in our county. ”

this era. Fields are valuable possessions, and land rents are high. There are seven labors and three labors of land, that is to say, the harvest of the land, the land is mainly seventy percent. Only 30% of the tenants who contributed to the cultivation were left. The higher ones also have two percent of the land, which means that the tenants can only occupy 20% of the land harvest.

The Wang family rented to the old man Lian was a middle-class and upper-class good land, and according to the yield of 300 catties per mu, he only collected 50% of the rent. Regardless of the location, such a rent is considered to be very low.

But even so, the tenants still had to hand over more than half of the land harvest. I can only keep less than half.

Tenant farmers are very hard, the land is precious, and being a landlord is very promising. After reading such a lease, Lian Man'er felt that her goal of being a small landlord was simply too correct and wise.

"I heard that the Wang family seems to have a family motto, and the land rent is 20% lower than that of other people's families." Lian Shouren interjected at this time.

"This is for the benefit of the township, and people do good deeds and accumulate virtues. It is not unreasonable to be able to have a big family and a big business. Even the old man sighed and said. Our family used to collect rent, and it was also the royal family. At that time, many people rushed to rent our land......"

Speaking of this, even the old man was dumbfounded and did not continue.

"Dad, wait for me ......"

Lian Shouren's words only began, and he was interrupted by Old Man Lian's handwave.

“…… I think the heat of my step-ancestor is about the same, and I will definitely be able to plant it in the past two years. Lian Shouren said again.

Even the old man smoked a dry cigarette and did not speak. Even if even the step-ancestor is ready, he must first take the test for a showman, and with the last honor, the rice he receives is only enough for him to eat. From showing talent to lifting people. How many years of hard work it will take during this period not to mention for the time being, this cost, thinking about the money that Lian Shouren has used over the years, even the old man's heart has turned over.

Even the old man didn't calculate this matter in his heart, if he wanted Lian Jizu to study, even if the family tightened their belts. It's hard to be afraid. Moreover, will this big family be willing to provide for the step-ancestors? This is no longer the case!

"Step-ancestor, why aren't you at home?" Seeing that Old Man Lian's expression was a little gloomy, Lian Shouxin wanted to divert the topic. "Aren't there holidays in private schools, I heard that ......"

When Lian Shouxin said this, he realized that he might have said something that he shouldn't have said, so he immediately braked on the emergency and stopped talking, because when it was time for spring ploughing, whether it was a student or a gentleman in a private school, it was a time when the family was using manpower. There is a tradition in this private school in Qingyang Town, that is, every spring ploughing and autumn harvest, there will be a few days off, so that the husband and students can go home to help with the planting and harvesting.

This can be regarded as a humane arrangement. This tradition is not only shared in the private schools of Qingyang Town, but also in other villages and towns. Advocating farming and reading heirlooms, farming should be ranked ahead of reading.

The private school is on vacation, and it also includes the senior class where Lian Jizu is located. As the eldest grandson of the Lian family, Lian Jizu should have discussed the major matter of spring ploughing with Lian Shouren and Lian Laozi.

Lian Shouxin knew that Old Man Lian had feelings for Lian Jizu, so he talked about Lian Jizu because he wanted to make Old Man Lian happy. But halfway through the words, even Shouxin remembered that even his step-ancestor was not used to and did not like farming. Thinking of all kinds of things that happened when the family was not separated before, even the step-grandfather was not at home, and it was probably an excuse to escape the spring ploughing work.

Thinking about these things clearly, Lian Shouxin regretted saying these words very much, not only could not make Old Man Lian a little happier, but added to the trouble. He hurriedly gestured to Zhang and the children with his eyes, hoping that they would divert his words again.

Zhang wanted to help, but she was not a good talker, and she was used to being silent when the men were discussing things, so she couldn't think of anything for a while.

As for Lian Man'er, Wulang and Xiaoqi, the three children didn't seem to see Lian Shouxin's signal, they brushed their heads together, and then, the three fluffy little heads all came together on the deed paper in Lian Man'er's hand to do serious research.

Lian Shouxin was embarrassed, so he had to cough dryly.

"The step-ancestor is about to take the exam, but unlike Gorou and Xiaoqi, it's okay to read a book for a day or two." Lian Shouren took over the conversation and said seriously, "This matter was said by the step-ancestor yesterday. The step-grandfather's husband attaches great importance to the step-grandfather's child, so he can't relax this year. These days, others are on vacation, and step-ancestors can't be lazy. The step-grandfather's husband lent his house in the private school to the step-grandfather, and asked him to take advantage of these few days to study well. ”

"Ahh Even Shouxin snorted.

The rest of the room, including the old man, was silent.

"Dad, we're going to start farming tomorrow. It just so happened that Gorou and Xiaoqi were both at home on vacation. Lian Shouxin remembered the purpose of coming here, so he said to Old Man Lian.

"Which field are you going to start planting first?" Even the old man asked.

"Let's start with the six acres of land in the south, and the six acres of land are all planted with peanuts." Even keep your word.

"That's right. Peanuts are delicate, just in time for the rain, and now they are planted just right. Even the old man nodded and said, "I also plan to start planting in the south of the land, and I also grow peanuts." I will plant tomorrow, this morning your second brother and they went to work, I explained to them, let them ask for a leave from the foreman, and the family has to farm in the next few days. …… When the planting is finished, let them go back to work, and when the work in the field is too busy, let them ask for leave. ”

Originally, Mr. Lian just planned to let Lian Shouyi go to the mountains to work for a while before spring ploughing, but after spring ploughing, he didn't go anymore. Now I changed my mind, naturally because I secretly made wine, and even my family was completely hollowed out.

A large family, only by working twice as hard can we live a good life.

"Fourth, I have to say a few words to Lao Huang for this matter." Old Man Lian said to Lian Shouxin, "Don't let your second brother and third brother lose their errands because of this." ”

"Okay, I'll tell Lao Huang about this." Lian Shouxin thought about it and agreed.

"Fourth, you're ready to go now. opened a shop.,Let Gorou and Xiaoqi both go to private school to study.,I heard,You also invited a gentleman from the mountain to teach Man'er at home? Man'er even knows the land rent deed paper. It's not me who is the eldest brother to take care of your business, and whoever has to keep his duty. Gorou and Xiaoqi study, there's nothing to say, I think it's good. Ke Man'er ......"

When Lian Shouren said this, he glanced at Lian Man'er again.

Even Man'er heard Lian Shouren say about her, raised her head from the deed paper, and looked at Lian Shouren with a pair of dark eyes.

Lian Shouren lowered his eyelids.

"It's still the same sentence, whoever has to keep his duty. Man'er is a girl, she can participate in the imperial examination, how can she glorify her ancestors to the old Lian family? This spreads out, and people say that your nephews can't study yet, and your step-ancestors are bitter in the private school, and you throw a lot of money into a girl, how can you let people talk about you behind their backs! ”

"Uncle, tell me, what are people talking about us behind their backs?" Lian Man'er suppressed her anger and stared at Lian Shouren and asked.
