At dinner in the morning, Yang Xiangwei confessed to Duan Luo and Duan Zhang, and asked them to finish the meal and cut all the sweet potato vines in the field.

Duan Zhang was stunned: "Mother, why are you cutting this?" You don't have pigs. ”

Yang Xiangwei glared at her: "If you want to cut it, you will cut it, why is it so much nonsense?" ”

Duan Zhang could only keep his mouth shut.

After eating, Yang Xiangwei took Duan Da, Duan Er, and Duan Si, who she met on the road, to Lizheng to "divide the land".

It's just 15 acres, and the three brothers have three acres each, and there are not many.

Duan Da, Duan Er, and Duan Si thought well, but they didn't expect that they didn't buy that good land, but actually bought a piece of "sand"?!

"What?! Fifteen acres of land, half of which is sandy? Just kidding, what can be grown in the sand? When Duan Si heard this, he was anxious.

He has been cultivating the wasteland for so many years, and he doesn't know how difficult it is to plant on the sofa, and no matter how many seeds you sprinkle on it, it can make you lose your grains.

The most important thing is that it is already summer, and they are thinking, since the land is sold at this time, how can there be some food in the land, and the result is ......

Will there be food in the sand?!

Dream.

"It's just six acres of sandy land, what's the hurry?" Yang Xiangwei glanced at them with disgust, "In addition to the sandy land, don't each of you still have three acres of good land?" I only charge you 20% of the rent, and I don't say how much grain I must give per acre of land. I'm not in a hurry, what are your red eyes? ”

"But, ...... mother," Duan Da couldn't help but say, "Uncle Li Zheng said that there is nothing in the field." We can't plant this year, and even if we do, we have to wait until next year......"

"Who said wait until next year? I've already arranged for you to take your guys and gather in my yard tomorrow morning. Yang Xiangwei rolled a paper contract into her sleeve and said, "Whatever I ask you to do, you can do it, keep your mouth shut for me, if anyone dares to cause me not to receive food at the end of the year, I will stab his whole family." ”

Duan Da, Duan 2, Duan 4: "...... Mother, my whole family includes you, okay?"

In the afternoon, Yang Xiangwei also asked a few boys to go to the next village and buy some pigs to go into the water and pig bones to come back.

If you want the cow to work, you can't help but give the cow grass, right?

The pigs were killed in the morning and brought back in the afternoon, and the smell of the pigs in the water simply polluted the air in the yard.

Yang Xiangwei suspected that Duan Cheng and Duan Yuan were deliberate, so she quickly let them carry them to the edge of the dirt pit in the backyard, and asked Duan Luo and Duan Zhang to take the ashes of the plants and trees and wash them with water.

Duan Zhang's listened, and secretly muttered there: "Mother is really, what kind of plant ash do you put in?" This thing is so fine, how can it be washed clean when you put it in the meat? ”

Duan Luo didn't squeak, anyway, his mother-in-law told him to do whatever he wanted.

She has been with Yang Xiangwei for the longest time, and she has completely seen her mother-in-law's methods - never talk nonsense.

Duan Zhang's saw that his sister-in-law didn't answer, and after reading for a while, he was bored, skimmed it, and didn't get active in his work.

Duan Luoche didn't see it, what should he do.

Sure enough, after a while, Duan Luo found that it was usually difficult to wash, and no matter how he washed it, there was a bad smell of the pig's water, and after washing it according to the method explained by his mother-in-law, it quickly became clean, and the unpleasant smell was gone.

She stinked when she got it to her nose, and she couldn't believe it: it turned out that all you need to do to wash the pig and put some plant ash in the water?

So they usually endure the smell and eat the pigs, but in fact, they are all self-inflicted?

If my mother-in-law had been there at the time, she would have called them "stupid".

Thinking about it, Duan Luo didn't know why, and wanted to laugh a little: "It's really stupid!" ”

Next to him, Duan Zhang's saw his sister-in-law smell the smelly pig in the water, and laughed, and the whole person was shocked: "Big ...... Sister-in-law, are you alright? ”

"It's okay, do you want to smell it, it doesn't stink." Duan Luo didn't hold a grudge at all, and took the initiative to invite her to smell the cleaned pig water, and assured her that it didn't stink anymore.

Duan Zhang's was suspicious, and he was afraid that his sister-in-law would deliberately fix herself, so she held on for a while before sniffing: "Huh? It really doesn't stink?! ”

This time, without waiting for Duan Luo to say anything more, she snatched it up, sniffed, sniffed, and exclaimed.

"It really doesn't stink, sister-in-law, this is amazing!"

"If I knew it would be cleaned, I wouldn't have eaten stinky meat before."

A girl who hasn't eaten stinky meat is not a peasant girl. But when a peasant girl is having a hard time at home and is particularly hungry for meat, there is no one who does not eat it.

It is easy to say that a family of five acres of land is reclaimed, but it is still difficult to reclaim it within a few days.

Yang Xiangwei calculated for a while, and planned to get out of the sand first, knowing that the three brothers were too busy, so they spent money to hire a few idle people to help.

Ploughing the ground, picking leaves and picking leaves, as long as the copper plate is used, there is no planting in the ground. Duan Da, Duan Er, and Duan Si saw each other, and they felt distressed for a while.

Poke one by one, let the other party have a good talk with his mother, there is no living thing to grow in the summer, so it is a waste of money, it is better to keep it to buy food.

"If you have the guts, you go, I won't go anyway." Duan Er saw that his mother's legs were weak, where was he willing to go, so he shook his head directly.

Duan Si was also worried: "I don't dare to go, when I go out, my mother is still scolding me for being lazy." ”

"When will my mother stop scolding?" Duan Da also said, "You don't dare, and I don't dare, so what else can you say about this?" ”

Without waiting for the three brothers to come up with an idea, early in the morning, the three families, men, women and children, except for Duan Chen, who was carrying his stomach, were all called by Yang Xiangwei to get up early and work in the field.

When they were commanded by Yang Xiangwei to carry the sweet potato vine on their backs, they were still confused: What are you doing with the things that feed the pigs?

However, when she arrived at the place, Yang Xiangwei began to assign work, the manual work was for men, the children were responsible for throwing sweet potato vines, and the women were covering the soil behind.

The children didn't understand, but Duan Da, Duan Er, Duan Si, Duan Luo, and Duan Zhang were collectively stunned: Damn, my mother is crazy?! You actually want to plant pig vines to feed pigs?!

"Mother...... This is not a living plant. Duan Si couldn't hold back and said.

Although his father died early, he didn't learn anything, so he dared to swear that he had never seen a sweet potato vine planted in the wasteland for so many years.

"If you don't plant or not, I'm the one who pays the money and makes the idea, and it's me who wants to lose, what are you talking about? Let you plant what you sow. Yang Xiangwei had a tough attitude, completely ignoring the opposition of her son and daughter-in-law, and insisted on letting them plant.

Duan Da, Duan Er, and Duan Si were so angry, but the old woman said, "If you are not happy, someone will plant it", she didn't dare to refute it at all, so she could only plant it honestly.

In the summer, the weather is hot, and the old woman is not ruthless, seeing that the sun is about to reach the top of her head, she lets everyone go home to rest. Wait until the sun is in the west in the afternoon to continue to take them out to work.

They were all wearing big straw hats, tired and sweating profusely in the sun, and she got well, took a fan, and found a shady place to sit.

Occasionally run over to check to see if they have done it seriously, as long as it is a little bad, she can be scolded by her.

A group of people are aggrieved.

When someone was about to lose it, Duan Luo said in a low voice, "Think about the broth at night. ”

Everyone: "......"

If it weren't for that stuttering, Lao Tzu would definitely not do it!

As for how many of these people dare to disagree with the old woman, no one knows.
