The family built a new house, and Feng Xia was also assigned a room of her own, after all, she was a big girl, and it was not good to live with her parents all the time. Lu Renbing gave her a new bed, a new table, and a new cabinet, and Feng Xia built a small bookshelf out of wood to place the books she had copied herself.

Lu Renbing also bought him a small mirror, which was so beautiful that a little girl looked like something. Wrap it in a red cloth and put it in the cabinet until it's time to use it.

She was afraid that Xu Youqing would take her small mirror and break it.

When Lu Renbing asked her what she wanted to raise, the little girl chose to raise chickens, probably because she couldn't hear or speak, and when her father was not at home, the best thing her mother gave her to eat was a few eggs. The boy was given the impression that eggs were the best thing in the world.

So she's going to raise chickens and wait for them to lay eggs. So Lu Renbing built a simple chicken pen for her, built a shelf with wood chips and straw, and when the chickens were big in the future, she would squat on the shelf to sleep. I bought more than a dozen chicks and fed them to Fengxia to play.

Youqing saw his sister's chicken pen and clamored to raise things, Lu Renbing asked him what to raise? Youqing thought about it and said that he wanted to raise sheep, but as for why, he couldn't say.

It is estimated that there are a few children in the village who play with him, and they have one at home, and he also wants to get one to come over to play.

Lu Renbing promised to buy sheep for Youqing, but it was agreed that he must raise the sheep himself, and if he didn't raise it one day, Lu Renbing would kill the sheep and eat meat.

Xu Youqing hurriedly agreed, and Lu Renbing bought him two newly-weaned lambs, one male and one female. and told Youqing how to raise it, so he left it alone. Thought he would give up after a while.

Who knew that Youqing, a six- or seven-year-old child, was a little willful. Every day, he would go to the field to mow the sheep and take two lambs with him to herd the sheep with the children in the village.

Until the two sheep grew up and gave birth to cubs, the two sheep became a flock of sheep, and Youqing didn't let Lu Renbing worry about it.

This made Lu Renbing look at this kid with admiration.

Lu Renbing did something else in the new yard, and he quietly dug a four-meter-deep cellar in the room where the kitchen was made.

In order to prevent water seepage in the cellar, Lu Renbing also went to the city to buy cement that was rare in this era at a high price. Lu Renbing used the broken bricks and tiles left over from the building of the house, plus cement, to plastered the walls of the cellar. Look at it every once in a while, well, it feels like the waterproof effect is not bad.

In order to consolidate the curative effect, Lu Renbing also put charcoal and lime in the cellar.

The inside of the cellar is in the shape of a bowl, the bottom surface is about seven or eight square meters in size, and the highest place is more than two meters.

The entrance and exit of the cellar are under the bellows next to the stove, and in order to prevent others from discovering it, Lu Renbing also made a careful disguise.

In this cellar, as far as he and Chen Jiazhen knew, the two children were kept in the dark. Because there is also a cellar on the open side of the yard as a cover, where sweet potatoes harvested in the field are placed.

In good years, there is a good time for famine, and now the years are better, but people who have come from the past war years have a deep impression of extreme hunger, so every household has a little means to hide food.

Therefore, Chen Jiazhen also deeply agreed with Lu Renbing's approach.

In the cellar for many years, there are enough grains, oils, rice and noodles for the family to eat for several months, as well as easy-to-store bacon and pickles collected by Lu Renbing, and dried vegetables dried by Zhao Jiazhen.

Even Chen Jiazhen thought about putting salted fish in that secret cellar, but was decisively stopped by Lu Renbing. It's so delicious!

Perhaps it was the successful construction of the first cellar that turned on a switch in Lu Renbing's mind, making him more enthusiastic about digging pits at home.

On the surface, three pits were dug in the courtyard, a sweet potato cellar, a water cellar, and a well.

The water veins in the south are relatively shallow, and digging the ground is not deep to become a well, but to eat good water, you can't be so casual, Lu Renbing has idle time, digging deep, and finally digging out a sweet water well with a good amount of water, and then fixing it with soil around the well, and the wellhead is built on the edge of the well, and the fence, and then installed a roller, which is beautiful.

Secretly, Lu Renbing dug a cellar in his bedroom, and the warehouse of the old house. He also happily filled the cellars with easy-to-store food.

In the dead of night, he would go down to the cellar and carefully check the storage of the food. made Chen Jiazhen think that he was possessed by the soul of the ancestral landlord Lao Cai, and he was going to carry out restoration.

Every time Chen Jiazhen makes fun of this, Lu Renbing will give him a blank look, this stupid woman, she doesn't understand anything, when the time comes, you will praise your brother for his wisdom and martial arts.

When Lu Renbing's new house was completed, the country was fighting the American devils on the North Korean side.

When there was no news from the front, the Guodang forces in various places also came out to stir up trouble, and several villages near Xujia Village were also said to be infested by the enemy, and they wanted to carry out the route of encircling the cities in the countryside and cooperate with the captain to counterattack the mainland. However, it was decisively suppressed, and even children played the game of catching spies.

From time to time, planes flew over the sky, throwing some colorful propaganda paper, and it was not until after the battle of Yijiangshan Island that it stopped.

Wait until the news of the victory at the front, keep coming. The morale of the people has been greatly encouraged, and Xujia Village has also organized pre-support activities. Lu Renbing donated a lot of food and medicinal materials.

The village didn't mean to let him go to the front, first, because they didn't look down on his medical skills, and second, they still had concerns about his former landlord family.

Although at the time of the land reform, Xu Fugui's family was already extremely poor and was condemned as poor peasants. Now that Xu Fugui has come back, isn't his family getting better again?

Some idlers always muttered to the village steward that they wanted to redefine the composition of Xu Fugui's family. At the very least, he must be a rich peasant for his family.

Whenever someone mentions this stubble, Xu Fugui will take out a newspaper with a clear policy and a copied policy document to popularize science for these guys.

Our Xu Fugui family has no acres of abject land, and they barely survive by renting five acres of land from the landlord Long Er's family. It is fully in line with the state's qualifications for poor peasants.

Now that life is good, it shows that the national policy is good, and the old and new society are two heavens, so that Xu Fugui's family of poor middle peasants turned into serfs and sang.

Xu Fugui even posted the newspaper in the main hall of the clinic, so that everyone could see it, and the idle people who were blocked had nothing to say.

But anyway, Xu Fugui's new house is nothing particularly out of place except for the new, plus Lu Renbing is indeed brick by brick, and he worked hard to get out of the house, the people in the village generally only praise him for turning back as a prodigal son, and no one will really speak ill of him.

In the past two years, the situation in the world has gradually stabilized. The Jiangnan region is already the land of fish and rice, and the economy is recovering quickly. Many of the people who had been divided into land also rebuilt their houses. Lu Renbing's family is not prominent.

To paraphrase a newspaper phrase, the current situation in the countryside is one in which the peasants are rapidly becoming peasants and are highly polarized.

What does it mean, that is, if the land is divided, as long as the people who are willing to work diligently and have sufficient labor at home, the living conditions will improve very quickly, and basically meet the standard of the middle peasants at the time of land division.

At the same time, because there is no prohibition on the sale of land at this time, many lazy people, or families with insufficient labor, or other families who need money due to illness or other reasons, will choose to sell the newly allocated land to others, and return to the state of abject poverty with nothing.

Many people who have been allocated land don't even have a hoe themselves, and they used to live by doing odd jobs for others, and they didn't plant the land for him, so what can you do?

But we all know that it is a new society, and no one is stupid enough to buy themselves as a landlord. It would be good to buy a few more acres of land and get a middle peasant.

Chen Jiazhen also asked for a few acres of land, but Lu Renbing made up his mind to be "poor" and happy, and he was determined to be a poor peasant.
