Chapter 80: Loosening the Soil

Fortunately, the land that Uncle Wang bought for the Liu family is close to the end of the village, and the news of the Liu family's purchase of land has not yet spread.

At first, the villagers of Shangu Village, who lived in a few households at the end of the village, saw the size of the Liu family, and went to the fields to turn over the land, thinking that they were loosening the soil for other people's families and earning some food.

After two days and three days, the Liu family continued every day, from morning to night, and several families at the end of the village also noticed that something was wrong, and they were a little pondering in their hearts.

Everyone in the Liu family didn't care about other people's opinions and visions.

Three hoes, a handful of Liu Li's, a handful of Liu Yiyu, a handful of Liu Yisa, three people hoeed the ground, loosened the soil, dug out the stones in the soil, and the rhizomes, Liu Yishuang and Liu Yihao took the following small ones, piled the stones aside, dug out the weeds and rhizomes aside, and after they were dried, they burned the weeds and rhizomes.

Liu Li's family, Liu Yiyu and Liu Yisa, can only be counted as the labor force of a semi-adult strong man, and as for Liu Yishuang and Liu Yihao, a string of small ones, they can barely add up to only a little more than the labor force of an adult strong man.

Rao is like this, the women and children and half-grown children of the Liu family, equivalent to the labor force of two and a half adult strong men, are busy working in four acres of land, tired, the family takes turns to loosen the soil with a hoe, thirsty, drinking the sugar water brought by the eighth sister, and the family is also busy for nearly half a month before the soil is loosened.

If it weren't for the fact that the Wang family saw that the Liu family had not yet reached the beginning of spring, they would have begun to loosen the soil, and called Dahua and Ergouzi to come over to help, and the Zhang family called Zhang Zixia and Zhang Ziqiu to come over.

Otherwise, maybe the Liu family will have to work hard for a few days before they can loosen the soil.

In the past half a month, I can be tired of the Liu family, not to mention the pain in my hands and feet, holding a hoe in my hand, the hoe is full of blood blisters, and a few small ones are also tired and can't straighten their waists.

Although the people of the Liu family were tired, but after thinking that these lands were their own, and the food they would grow in the future was also their own, and that they would have food to eat in the winter, they were not afraid of being hungry, and they could sell it for money, and they became more and more energetic.

There were no adult male laborers in their own family, so they worked more than ten days in advance before the land was released, which was the same as the rate at which other villagers in the mountain valley village had male laborers in their homes.

Fortunately, Liu Yiyu had foresight, otherwise, it would have delayed the time to sow seeds.

After loosening the soil, Liu Yiyu did not dare to delay, and poured the fertilizer raised at home into his own field with a load, and then raised the soil for half a month, and then sowed seeds.

The Liu family began to go up the mountain again, and those who went down the mountain carried their own fertilizer back and forth, and rushed to their own fields.

Just carrying the work of fertilizer and soil raising, the Liu family worked hard for two days.

After raising the land, everyone in the Liu family also breathed a sigh of relief and rested for three days.

Earlier, my family had planted corn in the three-third of the bamboo house, and the seeds had already been left, and the grandmother took a few small ones to pick out the best corn seeds, and when the time came, after raising the soil, she could directly sow them.

Liu Yiyu plans to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes on an acre, as for the last acre, Liu Yiyu will plant some peanuts and melon seeds, and also pick some land to raise, planting some eggplant, beans, green onions, ginger and garlic, cucumbers, coriander, celery, and other vegetables.

These things can not only be eaten at home in summer, but even if there are many varieties, if you can't finish eating, you can also make sauerkraut at home and save it for winter.

After Liu Yiyu told his grandmother and mother about his thoughts, the two of them agreed with Liu Yiyu's idea.

"It's just, eldest sister, if our family wants to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, melon seeds and peanuts, these need seeds and seedlings, and our family ......."

"Grandma, change Ming'er, the eldest sister went to the town to look for good seedlings and seeds, and when she saw the good quality, we just bought it home, if our family built a house this year, change it to next year, our family will raise seedlings directly, and there is no need to spend this unjust money to buy other people's seedlings."

"Eldest sister, our family also has four acres of land, in addition to corn seeds, other seedlings have to be bought, and there are a lot of them, you take the second sister, the third sister, the fourth sister and the fifth brother to the town to buy it back, don't be tired of yourself." Liu Li saw his eldest sister working day and night, worrying about the big and small affairs at home, he was resting, the eldest sister was still working, and the eldest sister was the latest to go home from work.

"Mother, the daughter is not tired, but the woman is young? If you do more and have nothing to do, Ming'er will take her younger siblings to the town to buy seeds and seedlings." Although Liu Yiyu is tired these days, he has lived a very happy life, with the warmth of home, the care and love of his younger siblings and mother, Liu Yiyu sometimes thinks about whether he saved the world in his previous life, so he was fortunate to cross into the warm family of the Liu family.

"Big sister, big sister".

"I'm back from playing in the field, so I'll sit down and talk for a while." After Liu Yiyu discussed with her grandmother and mother what to plant in the field, Liu Yimeng took Liu Yiyang and Liu Yile, two small ones, to Wang's house to find two dogs to play.

Three days ago, after raising the soil, the three of them went to the Wang family or the Zhang family to play, and came back to eat with a meal.

"Eldest sister, can you get used to the sixth sister, this year's sixth sister is seven years old, in such a wild, I don't know what it looks like, now it's spring, tomorrow, second sister, you take them to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and come back to eat, our family's surplus food is not much." Liu Zhang poured a bowl of water for the three small ones.

The three little ones were afraid that they were tired and thirsty from playing, and they drank a bowl of water with a 'bang' and drank it directly.

"Mother, how much surplus food does our family have?" Liu Yiyu asked after hearing Liu Li's words.

"There are still more than ten catties of black noodles left in our house, about five catties of brown rice, and a small amount of dried bamboo shoots and dried wild vegetables, as well as a little pickled vegetables. Liu Li thought for a while and said.

"Cheng, my daughter knows, from tomorrow, our family will go to the bamboo forest, to dig spring bamboo shoots, let's eat spring bamboo shoots for a period of time, now the price of food continues to rise, less than this year's harvest season, I am afraid that the price of food will not be reduced, before our family has built a house, these silver money, can be saved."

"Cheng, we all listen to the eldest sister". Liu Yihao nodded in response.
