Chapter 411: Farming and Clearing the Wasteland (4)

"Uncle Qian, don't you agree?" Tang Tang said.

"I ...... How can I say yes? Lao Qian was completely stunned, "The eldest lady is kind-hearted and has been very good to us." Although I am the main force in clearing the wasteland, I took your salary from the eldest lady, and I was originally a subordinate of the family, how can I ask you to give me half of it, no, absolutely not! ”

"If it doesn't work, then I won't buy the land." Tang Tang shook his head, "You have already planted five acres, and then go to open up the wasteland, don't make people tired!" ”

Lao Qian heard that she was concerned about whether she was tired and sick in a hurry, and she was even more grateful, "Big lady, you are a good person, thinking about us all the time, but my old money can't be taken by me just because you treat me, this should have been your big lady!" ”

"One-third." Tang Tang said.

"A tenth." Old Qian Dao.

Tang Tang shook his head.

"One in five." Old Qian said again.

"A quarter." Tang Tang said.

Old Qian gritted his teeth, "Okay! ”

"But it seems that it is good, open up the wasteland, don't hold your breath and do it, take your time, don't tire yourself out!" Tang Tang said.

"Don't worry, big lady, I know." Old Qian was excited and said.

Lu Niangzi, who was listening again, also had a flying expression, which meant that as long as this land was opened, they would be able to have their own property, although they were still slaves who sold themselves, and the master family could take these things back at any time, but she was still very happy.

It wasn't until Tang Tang took the written contract to the couple to sign that she felt real.

As slaves, they want to have their own land!

After the two signed tremblingly, Tang Tang gave the old money and silver and asked him to do it.

When it was done, Tang Tang looked at the wasteland, it was so big, at least fifty acres.

It's just that there are some rocks, and you can't grow rice or anything like that when you develop them.

What is good to plant?

Sorghum?

With such a large piece of land, it will take at least two years to clear the wasteland.

So she can think slowly, but no matter how slow, the important thing is to fertilize the land first.

……

Life was very fulfilling, the family planted rice, and bought land to prepare for the wasteland, and life was prosperous.

But two or three months later, Xiao Zhongqin and Ye didn't even show up.

The people in the village guessed, but they were afraid that there was a situation!

But Tang Tang didn't see pain and sadness, but smiled every day, looking very happy.

is approaching six months, which is enough to make Tang Tang's stomach show his pregnancy, Tang Tang can't go out more and more, squatting in the study every day, I don't know what he's doing.

"Uncle Qian, you can help me hand these over to Shopkeeper Lu!" Tang Tang handed Lao Qian a stack of manuscripts, "Don't mess up!" ”

"Okay." Old money responded.

"I've finished reading these books, you let him have a few." Tang Tang said again.

Lao Qian didn't know how to read, but he admired Tang Tang, who could read and write, even more, "Big lady, I will definitely do it for you!" ”

Tang Tang nodded.

Lao Qian went to the county seat in an ox cart, and when he came back, he carried four or five other books on his back.

After more than a dozen round-trips, Lao Qian couldn't help but be curious, "Big lady, what did you write?" ”

"Secret!" Tang Tang said with a smile.

Lao Qian was puzzled, it seems that he will go to the shopkeeper Lu next time.

"Big lady, I heard something, I think I should tell you." Old Qian said again.

"You say."

"I heard the shopkeeper Lu give me a mouthful today, and the old lady seems to be ...... It seems that he is looking for someone to find a concubine for his master. "Old Qian said.

Tang Tang raised his head, "Where did you hear that?" ”
