Although the government encourages the cultivation of wasteland, it does not mean that you can turn a wasteland into your own at will.

Zhou Liangyu explained to her in a low voice the various complicated procedures for turning wasteland into personal needs.

Hearing that the main thing is to deal with the government, thinking about their current status, it is better to avoid dealing with the government, in case something goes wrong, it will be miserable if the family is locked up as a remnant of the party, Liu Meibao nodded clearly.

"And what if we rent it?" Liu Meibao asked again.

"Rent land to grow herbs?" Song Sanniang sneered, "It's not enough for people to grow food, and besides, no one is willing to let you plant blindly and spoil the fertility." ”

"That's no way..."Liu Meibao sighed, hugged the firewood in her hand and piled it up in the corner, and immediately smiled, "It's better to dig herbs honestly first, live your life first, and then talk about later..."

When she turned around, she saw Song Sanniang looking at her, with scrutiny and slight surprise in her eyes, and when she saw her, she looked away.

In the next few days, the three children in the family soaked in the mountains every day, in addition to collecting firewood, they followed Liu Meibao to dig herbs.

"Didn't this bark be peeled off whole?" Zhou Liangyu asked, watching Liu Meibao carefully peel off only half of the bark of a magnolia tree.

"You can't peel off the bark of a tree..."Liu Meibao smiled, "Otherwise, the tree will die..."

Zhou Liangyu sighed, took the bark handed by Liu Meibao and put it away carefully, and followed her to another tree.

"I'll try." He took the initiative to say.

Liu Meibao handed him the kitchen knife in her hand, and when she took the kitchen knife at home, Song Sanniang was very reluctant, a kitchen knife cost more than ten yuan, and instructed Zhou Liangyu to be careful and careful.

"It's just a tree... My sister is too careful, there are so many on the mountain, what are you afraid of if you die, since the whole bark can be used, if you want me to say let's just cut down one and peel it all..."Zhou Liangyu said with a smile.

Magnolia bark tree is more than 20 years old is the most authentic medicine, and it has been listed as a second-class protected wild plant, Liu Meibao patted the trunk with some sighs, of course, it is not so precious now, but she really can't do it.

She once followed the teacher to the forest farm to peel the bark of magnolia bark, and after peeling it, it was wrapped with new plastic film, and carefully cared for, and now she peels the bark with a kitchen knife.....

"Doesn't anyone care if you cut it?" She asked hesitantly.

"Who cares..."Zhou Liangyu was also moved, licked his lips, and circled around the tree.

Finally, after several struggles, Liu Meibao's moral balance tilted and selected a magnolia tree with a diameter at breast height of more than 20 centimeters.

After three days of fighting, the tree was divided into several sections and scattered in front of him, although Zhou Liangyu said that cutting down the tree was nothing for the villagers, but Liu Meibao was still as nervous as a thief, so everyone transported the tree home in batches and hidden it in the house.

"These roots are directly peeled off and rolled into a tube..."

"....yes, that's ....."

“… Go boil the water... I'll get the dry skin...."

"Why boil water?"

“… Dry skin is something that needs to be scalded to soften....."

In the next few days, the villagers who have a heart will see that the small courtyard of the Zhou family has become busy and lively, and there are strange smells spreading.

"The Zhou family has already started eating tree bark!"

Soon the news spread.

When Sister-in-law Xie walked to the door of Zhou's house, she saw that only the girl was sitting in the yard, with her head down, piled up with a lot of bark in front of her, and her hands kept rolling the bark into double tubes.

It's weird, what is this doing? Sister-in-law Xie was very puzzled, the girl had already noticed her footsteps and raised her head suddenly.

"Girl..."Sister-in-law Xie hurriedly greeted with a smile on her face.

Before she could finish speaking, the girl was frightened, and she picked up the bark in front of her and rushed into the house.

I heard that those girls from rich and noble families are easy to see outsiders, so is this girl in front of her avoidance of the rules?

Sister-in-law Xie stood in front of the door a little overwhelmed.

The weaving sound stopped, and Song Sanniang came out of the house and squinted over.

"It's Sister-in-law Xie.." She said, inviting her in.

After Liu Meibao carried the bark into the house, she smiled, she subconsciously thought that she had stolen the national second-class protected wild plants, and when she saw people coming, she still wanted to avoid it.

After laughing for a while, I looked out through the crack in the door, and saw that Song Sanniang and the woman were sitting in the courtyard, so they didn't go out, so they sat down on the ground, and then rolled up their cylinders, and the sound of talking in the courtyard continued to come in through the crack in the door.

"You've lived in this house for more than a year..... After some talking, Sister-in-law Xie said suddenly.

Song Sanniang's eyebrows jumped.

"Yes, thanks to the kindness of the chief, otherwise we orphans and widows would not know where to go....." She lowered her eyes and whispered, "Let's owe the rent first....."

"It's not that I boast about our own family, our uncle is a good person..."Sister-in-law Xie said with a smile, and then a good compliment.

Liu Meibao, who was in the room, couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, look at this posture of saying that the chief is like a flower, is it to tell Song Sanniang to be a matchmaker?

No, from Zhou Liangyu's words, we can know that there is a wife here, is it possible to want to please Xiao?

Sure enough, the ancient man wanted to enjoy the blessings of all people when he had a little money in his family, and Tian Sheweng collected an extra three or five buckets of grain, and he also wanted to take another concubine.......

"However, no one is having a hard time these days.....

Sister-in-law Xie's words came in again, and Liu Meibao nodded, which means that the landlord's family has no surplus food.

Song Sanniang naturally understood what she meant, her face was a little heavy, she knew that this house would not let them live in vain, but it was just a day if they could delay it for a day without mentioning the money.

"When I weave two more pieces of cloth, I'll scrape together some money and pay for it first," she whispered, "I don't know..."

She wanted to ask how much the rent was, but before she could speak, Sister-in-law Xie had already interrupted her with a smile.

“… What's the hurry.." She said.

Liu Meibao slowed down the movements in her hands and pricked up her ears.

"....Your girl should talk about people......"
