Chapter 15: Pastoral

Yang Heng, the mother and son, really didn't say that in the more than a month that my father had been gone, more than 30 acres of land had been reclaimed, and this was not just to cut down the trees on it, but to turn over the land.

During this time, whether it was Yang Heng or the four uncles, they all had their own gains, that is, the old lady had been immersed in the depression of leaving home and her husband going to be a soldier, and she used hard work every day to numb her thoughts.

The four uncles actually didn't have a lot of work in Yang Heng's house, but the food during this time was good, and they all ate red and red, and they all got fat, not the thin and weak when Yang Heng first saw them, maybe they fell down when the wind blew them.

Yang Heng's harvest is more, first of all, he has to go to the mountains to hunt for food every day, and even need to find some edible plants, this footprint is all over the vicinity of more than ten miles, so some people have left his footprints in some rarely visited places, in this way, he also found some special plants, such as finding a few hawthorn trees, which may be the hawthorn from which the bird came from, the seedlings sent out from the seeds left behind, and also found the star anise tree that can be used as spices.

When he found the anise tree, Yang Heng remembered that what he was eating these days, it was all boiled meat, and he didn't even put salt, and his mind had always been on the original taste, but he didn't pay attention to it, he was tired of eating, how could he eat meat that didn't taste at all.

"What is this, octagonal, how can there be an octagonal tree here, it can't be fake, one or two...... Seven or eight, yes, it's eight corners, forget it, don't think about it, dig it back. When Yang Heng found the octagonal tree, he wondered for a while, you must know that the octagonal tree is not a specialty of this level, but how could he find one here, since he can't figure it out, then don't think about it, this world is so big that he can cross it, if there is a bird that can cross the Pacific Ocean to bring corn seeds from the American continent, Yang Heng will also express his belief.

Now that there is an octagonal tree, Yang Heng wants to find out if there are other species, but no, he found a pepper tree for him, but the others can no longer find anything, not no, but Yang Heng only knows these two kinds of trees that make seasonings, and he is not familiar with the others. This is also good, can you ask someone for others, I heard that most of the other seasonings are medicinal materials or something, if you want to use them, you can go to the medicinal herb shop to buy them, and there is that Yang Heng is not particularly concerned about the diet, as long as there is something to eat, otherwise, he will not eat boiled meat for such a long time.

Yang Heng's initial plan was to reclaim this 100 acres of land first, and then see if there was time, and then ask for the other woods, or buy them, and then reclaim them, then he would be a small landlord, but during this time, I heard my uncles say that this Datang gave the land like this, just like Yang Heng's family, only the father himself has the land, and this field is not very much, there are 20 acres of Yongye field, 80 acres of mouth field, and Yang Heng, with the old lady has nothing, Only when Yang Heng reaches a certain age will he buy fields.

Even if the eighty acres of mouth division field are gone, this field will be gone, and this Yongye field must also be planted with mulberry trees, as well as jujube trees, elms, or ten acres of hemp fields, so Yang Heng stopped reclamation when he reclaimed thirty acres of land, and his current plan is to sort out the twenty acres of Yongye field first, and let the uncles inquire where there are mulberry saplings, and he wants to plant mulberry trees on the twenty acres of fields next to the river, and the fields inside will be used as grain fields after reclamation.

The ten acres of fields next to the mulberry field, Yang Heng is ready to build them into fruit orchards, spice gardens, and the only thing that is now is hawthorn, which is not in a hurry, and can be realized slowly.

"Heng'er, you said, whether our family is the head of the household must write your grandfather." When the old lady knew that these things about the field is a system, she was anxious, and she wanted to know that when she was in the city before, the old lady was the head of the household, and now she has turned into her father's, so isn't her inheritance gone?

"Mother, don't worry about this, I won't go to the genealogy of Grandpa's family at that time, you give Grandpa another younger brother to inherit Grandpa's family business, and I will continue to pass it on to you." Obviously, what the old lady cares about is the inheritance, not the head of the household or anything, so Yang Heng didn't think about it, so he made it clear to the old lady, if there is anything in the future, let the father do it, "Mother's good child, mother will rely on Heng'er you." ”

After the old lady asked this, Yang Heng understood why he was a little happy when the father heard what his uncle said about the household registration, and the old lady was confused, it turned out that the root cause was here, and there was a family inheritance problem inside, but Yang Heng was a little worried about his father at this time, if the father could get an official and a half-job, maybe his son-in-law would become his biggest obstacle.

"Mother, you have to remember, don't mention in front of anyone in the future that my grandfather is your son-in-law, this is a very important thing for our family." If Dad can really do anything in the army, maybe others won't find out that he is a son-in-law.

"Nephew Heng, what are you doing?" "Come, uncles, help me to cut the branches, you see, that's it, plug it in, press it." Yang Heng didn't care about the surprises of his uncles, but let them do it with him.

Yang Heng is planting mulberry branches, before he asked his uncles to inquire about mulberry saplings, the uncles inquired and said no, if you want to plant mulberry trees, you have to buy seeds to plant, buy seeds, Yang Heng doesn't want to pay this money, he remembered that when he went up the mountain to hunt, he had found an ownerless mulberry tree on the mountain, so this morning, he went up the mountain with his wife early to cut back a few mulberry trees, cut the branches on them to more than five inches long, and then sorted out a piece of land, he was ready to take cuttings to see if he could plant live, You must know that in the previous life, there were some trees that could be planted with cuttings, and even Yang Heng himself had tried this kind of thing, although the survival rate was not very high, but this thing could be done.

However, the cuttings in later generations are covered with film, there is no film in this ancient world, Yang Heng had to choose some weeds to cover the branches of these cuttings, maybe it can be done, maybe it can't be done, how can you know if the road can be done without trying, but it's just a waste of a day's time.

"Nephew Heng, can this be done, besides, it's winter now, even if you live, you won't freeze to death." "Uncles, look, didn't I prepare a lot of weeds, and when we finish planting, we will cover it with a thick quilt, and it will freeze to death." After the uncles asked, Yang Heng also had some no foundation in his heart, "Can this really be done?" ”
