Chapter 395: Miscellaneous Matters (3)
The most cherished thing for the croppers is the land, and the villagers who signed the employment contract with Yu Jiao, regardless of whether they are men or women, are lazy, and they treat these fields as their own and work hard.
Yu Jiao straightened up in the field, looking at the vast field, her heart was full of joy.
Yu Poria covered the place where she had just sprinkled a ridge of rapeseed with soil, raised her sleeve to wipe the beads of sweat on her forehead, and said with a smile, "There are many of us, and in only seven or eight days, more than 500 acres of land have been planted." ”
Now the autumn is crisp, working in the field is lukewarm, the original rotten in the field of wheat seedlings have been shoveled as weeds, although the field is bare, but who knows that the seeds are buried in the ground, or it will not be long before the field will be green and vibrant.
Yu Jiao took a water bladder from the ridge on the side, raised her head and drank a few sips, and handed it to Yu Poria again.
Yu Poria took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her hands, took the water bladder, and followed Yu Jiao's posture, raised her head and drank it boldly.
These days staying in the canal, Yu Poria felt unprecedented freedom, and the wanton and enjoyable that she had not had in the previous ten years seemed to have all made up for it all at once.
She used to think that a woman's life was to knit women's red, laundry and cook, but with Yu Jiao, she knew that a woman could also be like a man, she could do whatever she wanted, and there was no need to bind herself to a house, and she would never leave her needle and thread all day long, only guarding men to have children and rely on men to live.
The cool breeze was blowing, the sun was setting, and there were many people standing in the fields, all of whom were villagers who had just finished working in other fields.
After Yu Jiao and Yu Poria finished their field, they walked along the ridge to the ground.
"Owner, the fields in Baiyi Village have been sown." Seeing Yu Jiao coming, the person in charge of the white-clothed village selected a few days ago spoke up.
Immediately after, there were reports one after another.
"Owner, the fields in Gezhuang Village have all been sown!"
"The owner, the fields in Yangxi Village have also been sown!"
……
Yu Jiao smiled and nodded, "Everyone has worked hard." ”
A group of people had bright eyes, all of them smiled honestly and waved their hands, "It's not hard, it's all what we should do." ”
"It doesn't take too much to water and irrigate the fields tomorrow, the soil in our fields is already moist, just sprinkle a thin layer of water." Yu Jiao gave the next instructions.
A group of people responded in unison, and then rushed to invite Yu Jiao to the village for dinner.
"Yu Dongjia ate in your Gezhuang Village yesterday, and now it's our village's turn!" The man in charge of Yangguan Village was selected to speak out.
"Dong Yu's family used to eat in your Yangguan Village last year, and now it's our turn to Yangxi Village." The other man is not far behind.
"Don't rob it, it's time for the Yu family to go to our Baiyi Village to eat!" A woman took Yu Jiao's hand and said in a loud voice.
After speaking, she also went to pull Yu Poria, an ally, "Miss Yu, our village has prepared a meal, just waiting for you and the owner to come over!" ”
This woman's name is Xu Anniang, she is the person in charge of Baiyi Village, there is a way that there are no rules and no circle, although it is farming, but there are many fields, in order to facilitate management, Yu Jiao asked several people from several villages to recommend themselves to be stewards, and manage the fields of each village respectively.
Xu Anniang is the only woman in several villages who took the initiative to stand up and recommended herself to be a steward, with a good temperament, and she did not lose to the men at all when she worked.
Yu Jiao patted Xu Anniang's hand, and said with a smile, "I won't bother you today, Sister A and I will go back to the house to eat, it's not early, you have been busy all day, go home and rest early." ”
Hearing Yu Jiao say not to eat, a group of people couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but they didn't say anything more, greeted Yu Jiao with a smile, and gradually dispersed.
Yu Jiao and Yu Poria got into the carriage, and the guy driving said with a smile, "Aunt Chen burned the owner's favorite steamed pork ribs and wine-stuffed rice balls, and I look forward to the owner's return!" The owner has stayed in the village to eat for the past few days, and Aunt Chen quietly asked me if the owner of the food she cooked didn't like to eat. ”
