Not only her, but even Youyi and Xin'er are also anxious, the land at home is really not enough, and the two brothers and sisters can barely make ends meet before, which is still dependent on the family's vegetable plot to sell some vegetables.

It's definitely not okay to have two more people, and the two of them probably know how much money they have at home, and it is definitely not okay to buy land, and now the only way is to find another profitable business, or go to the mountains to open up wasteland.

The imperial court encouraged the cultivation of wasteland, and no taxes were collected for the first three years of the land opened, which sounded tempting, but this wasteland was not so easy to open.

If nothing else, let's just talk about the matter of land reclamation, which is not something that one or two people can open up in a day or two, and human and physical strength are all problems.

And their family, needless to say, there are three people, one of whom is pregnant, even if he is not pregnant, he will not do these things, it depends on the two of them I don't know how long it will take to open an acre of land.

Besides, if this land is opened, there will definitely be no income in the first two years, otherwise the imperial court will not have such a policy.

However, even so, the brother and sister did not give up this method, and there are really not many people in the village who can sell land, and no one will sell it if they don't really encounter something.

After all, it is true that land is the lifeblood of the people, even their family, if it wasn't for her father's incident and couldn't pay back, their family would not have sold it.

Of course, there may be people in other villages who will sell land, but they don't have money This is a problem for one person, even if they have money, they can't buy much land, and it is really inconvenient to have just one or two acres of land.

At present, they can be sure that the land they can buy is the two acres of land that were sold to the Feng family at the beginning, which they said at the beginning.

Not long after the New Year, Xin'er raised this matter with Youyi.

"Brother, let's open two acres of wasteland in our family."

"Why did you think of clearing wasteland?"

"Isn't there a lot of people in the family, how can there be enough food at home, our family has so little land, it's okay to be busy anyway, and you can charge more after the point is opened."

"Well, I'm thinking about it too, but it's not easy to open up the wasteland."

"I also know, take your time, drive as much as you can.

Actually, brother, I thought that when I had the money, I would buy a cow for our family, and it would be much easier to do it then, and I wouldn't have to borrow other people's ox carts to sell things in the city in the future, which would be too troublesome.

Moreover, if we buy cattle, we can also have more fertilizer, and when the time comes, we can apply more fertilizer to the field, and the harvest will be better, you say. ”

"Who says no, who doesn't want to buy cattle, but you also know that buying cattle is not cheap, we haven't even bought the land back yet, how can we have the money to buy cattle."

That's right, who in their peasant family doesn't want to buy cattle, isn't it that the price of cattle is too expensive.

Of course, the main problem is the lack of money.

"Well, what do you think of that brother, let's go open two acres of wasteland and come out?"

Now, Xin'er's main concern is still this matter.

"I've also thought about this, then I'll go and see the place first, let's open some good places, it's better than nothing."

"Well, then I'll go see the right place too."

This matter was almost settled like this, but the two of them agreed that they didn't tell An Niang about the things that hadn't been scored.

In the following time, the brother and sister went out almost every day, in addition to weeding the world at home, just to see a suitable place for wasteland.

The requirements for the two of them to choose a place are similar, they can't be too far away, their family lives at the end of the village, and they can't go to the mountains at the head of the village to drive.

Second, you can't go too far into the mountains, there are many animals on the mountains, and it will be troublesome to manage when you go too far into the mountains, just managing those animals is a problem.

One of the most important is that the terrain is very important, and it is better to be smoother.

There is also the problem of underground, there can be too many ten, trees or something is okay, just cut it directly, but too many stones are not easy to get, small stones are fine, big stones are difficult to deal with.

There is also an important issue, that is, the fertility of the land, although it cannot be said how good the land is at the beginning of land development, after all, the land depends on maintenance.

However, you have to find one that is suitable for the growth of crops, and you can't find one that can't even grow grass.

It's okay if it's just one or two, there are a lot of such places, but it's difficult to add up these few and find them again, even if there are, the good places have been opened by others, and they won't be left to them.

It took several days to tidy up the land at home, and the two of them also chose a good place, so they told An Niang about it.

"Anniang, I looked at a place with Xin'er, and I was going to plant something, and you will be tired a little during this time, and the affairs of the family will be handed over to you."

"Open ground? Is it land reclamation? Are you all looking at the place? ”

"Well, look at it, just look at it in the past few days, it's on the mountain behind our house, and the terrain is okay."

"Why do you remember to open up the wasteland?"

"It's not that you're pregnant, you can't let the child come out without anything to eat in the future, it's okay for us to be tired, we can't let the child go hungry."

An Niang was silent, she knew that what he said was the truth, and she didn't have plans for it herself.

"Okay, you can rest assured about the affairs at home, it's just that it's not good for Xin'er to go with you, she's fifteen, and she's going to be sixteen soon, and it's time to discuss marriage, shouldn't I raise it at home."

As far as she knows, let's talk about the village, as long as the family conditions are relatively good, how many daughters have stopped going out to do these jobs when they are fourteen or fifteen years old, and she thinks that they can't do too much as their brother and sister-in-law.

"It stands to reason that this is true, but you don't know that person in Xin'er, what you can say about her, how can she be watching from the side.

Moreover, she brought this up with me, how could she not be involved. ”

“……”

After being silent for a long time, An Niang didn't speak again, but from then on, she almost took care of everything at home.

The place chosen by the brother and sister is still very good, although the grass and trees are lush, but there are not many stones, and the soil is also black soil, which looks quite fat.

They first circled a place, and then they started from the bottom up, from left to right.

There are a lot of big trees in the encircled field, and there are also a lot of thorn bushes, and the two of them first cut down some trees and thorns that need to be cut down, and then slowly clean up the grass and stones.

During this period, the two of them did not fall behind in the affairs of the family, breeding and sprinkling vegetables.

They only worked in two people, and the progress was also very slow, and it took two or three months to open up more than two acres of land.

If the land is opened, you need to go to the village chief to say it, which can be regarded as a bottom line, so that you can have less trouble in the future.

It's not too late now, so the brother and sister took out the soybeans at home and planted some, which can fertilize the land.

In addition, some corn was planted, but not much, and some sweet potato seedlings and potatoes were inserted in the corners of the field, and I don't know if I could receive some in the fall. Read the latest chapter of "Words Farmhouse Paw Book House" for free for the first time.
