"The eldest sister is right, the safety of our family is the most important." Although Liu Zhang's family was reluctant to give up the two taels of silver, when he heard the eldest sister say this, the safety of his family was the most important, nodded and agreed with the eldest sister's words.

"Eldest sister, now we also have such a big family, the place is a little big, our family is sometimes afraid that some can't take care of it, this dog is going to be put on the agenda, and our family also has a pigsty, and we have to bring the piglets to raise first, the chicken pen built at the head of the family is also the boss, a few chickens are put in, it is enough to have fun, how many chickens should we raise more chickens?". Fifth brother Liu Yihao said.

"It's time to do this, tomorrow, the mother and the second sister will go to the mountains and the village people to pick up cicadas and molt shells, the fifth brother will go to Lizheng's house, ask who has dog cubs and pig cubs to sell, grandma and Xun'er and the eighth sister are responsible for the house's sprinkling, laundry and cooking, feeding the chickens, the fourth sister takes the sixth sister and the seventh brother, you go to the river, touch some pebbles back, let's pave these pebbles in the backyard, straight to the way to the embroidery building, otherwise, every day when it rains, it will be stained with a foot of mud."

When the Liu family built the house, Liu Yiyu considered that his own money might not be enough, so he only laid blue bricks and stone slabs on the ground in the front yard, otherwise, all the backyards were paved with blue bricks and stone slabs, which would cost a sum of silver.

What's more, when Liu Yiyu surrounded all his backyards, he had already planned for it.

At present, the most important thing is to pick up the pebbles and pave the road directly to the embroidery building, and then do other things.

"Cheng, grandma is in the eggs saved in our house, see which ones can hatch chicks, take advantage of this time, our family hatches more chicks, and these chicks will grow up in the future, not to mention the money they sell, and they will be able to lay eggs."

The days of hope always pass quickly.

The fourth sister took the sixth sister and the seventh brother, went to the creek, touched a lot of colorful pebbles back, the sixth sister heard her eldest sister say, to pounce these pebbles to the embroidery building, is anxious to say, let her do this work.

The sixth sister elf is eccentric, and the seventh brother participates, and the cobblestone road paved to the embroidery building is not directly reached, in the shape of S, the color of the pieces is paved, and the inside is paved with a smile from time to time, or black and white, or strange faces.

Liu Yiyu doesn't care what the sixth sister is paved like, as long as they are happy, it will be done.

In the end, after the cobblestone road paved by the sixth sister, Liu Yiyu also looked childlike and pleasing to the eye.

After the cobblestones were paved, Liu Yiyu and his younger siblings began to dig the pond.

In the backyard before, Liu Yiyu had his own plan, only built an embroidery building in the middle, built a kitchen on the right side of the back door, and built a firewood house and a dog house along the kitchen end, and then raised a dog at home, let the dog live in it, and in the back, it was a cowshed, a chicken and duck pen and a pigsty, and a utility room.

Liu Yiyu plans to dig a pond on the left and right sides and behind the road, which is more than one meter deep and about four or five meters wide, and plant lotus flowers in it to raise some fish.

After that, in the left corner of the backyard and behind it, there are rows of loquat trees again, and in the spring of the next year, you can also transplant a piece of honeysuckle to wrap around the loquat tree, and it can be beautiful to grow, and after the spring of the next year, the honeysuckle can also be picked off and sold for money.

As for the vast empty ground left, Liu Yiyu plans to find some fruit trees, or peach blossoms, to create a beautiful scenery in the world, Liu Yiyu's ideas are beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Not to mention the planted trees, it takes several years to grow, even digging a pond, just rely on Liu Yiyu's sisters and brothers to dig it, this is also a huge project, not to mention, it has to be filled with water, without a month or two of effort, this work can not be done.

Digging the pond, the Liu family kept busy until mid-August.

This year, there was plenty of rain under God, and the crops in both the paddy fields and the dry fields were booming, and in mid-August, the crops in the fields were ripe, and it was time to harvest the crops.

The people in the village pondered that the cicadas that can be picked up now are much less than before, and the crops in the fields of each family are ripe, and it is time to harvest the crops.

However, in the past half a month, the village has gathered to pick up cicadas and molt their shells, and in the past two months, each family has earned nearly two taels of silver by this alone, plus one or two silver previously divided, a total of three taels of silver, plus this year's harvest is good, and the villagers are working hard one by one.

As for the Liu family, Liu Yiyu took his younger siblings to dig the pond, the pond has been dug up, just waiting for irrigation into it, and planting lotus, loquat leaves, and other flowers and plants together in the coming year, the backyard of the Liu family is preliminarily built, only waiting for two or three years, the peach blossoms are fragrant, the lotus flowers are not stained and proud, and other fruit trees are planted in the backyard, a typical paradise.

After entering the middle of August, the corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, peanuts, and melon seeds in the four acres of dry land of the Liujia family are all ripe.

Liu Yiyu took his younger siblings to start harvesting corn, and after cutting it back together with the corn stalk, he moved it home, and asked the grandmother at home to take the eighth sister to break the corn from the corn stalk, and then peel off the corn husk, and then hang it strings with rope to dry, and then hang it under the eaves to dry.

Liujia has four acres of dry land, one acre is planted with corn, one acre is planted with potatoes, one acre is planted with sweet potatoes, and one acre is planted with some melon seeds and peanuts.

Just harvesting the corn, it took the Liu family five days to finish the harvest, not to mention that the corn had not been broken off from the corn stalk and dried on strings.

As for the corn rhizomes in the field, they have not been dug up, otherwise, when it snows, it will be more difficult to dig up again the next year after the snow is covered.

It's just that although the Liu family only has four acres of land, the Liu family is all half-grown children, women and children, and they can't spare manpower, so they have to dig out the sweet potatoes, potatoes and other crops in the field first.

Digging sweet potatoes, potatoes and peanuts, it took the Liu family nearly a month to harvest these things, this is still the Wang family and the Zhang family in the field to harvest quickly, come to the Liu family to help, otherwise, the Liu family will take a longer time to do these things.

After harvesting the grain, Liu Li led Xun'er, the sixth sister, the seventh brother and the eighth sister to wash the melon seeds and peanuts, wash them, and then dry them.

As for Liu Yiyu, he took the second, third, fourth and fifth brothers to the field, dug up the corn rhizomes, and then burned them.

After the corn that had been dried before, Liu Zhang first led a few small corn particles to rub them, and then grinded the cornmeal after he bought a grinding stone.
