Liu Pan'er nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, sister-in-law, I took it for granted before." When the reclamation is over, you take your children to continue the reclamation and plant the sweet potatoes we got back, maybe there will be an unexpected harvest.

As for me, I'll look around and see if there's any soil suitable for burning bricks. If there is, we will burn bricks to build a house, and build a big house for you, one room for each person. ”

Liu was stunned for a moment, "Third brother and sister, do you still burn bricks?" ”

Liu Pan'er shook her head and smiled, "No, but I have seen others burn it, and I know how to choose soil." Burn it out and try it, what if it happens? We'll be able to live in a brick house. ”

Liu's eyebrows opened and smiled, "Okay, third brother and sister, you are smart, you think it is okay, you can try it." If the bricks and tiles are really burned, the people in our village will have to buy them from us. ”

Li Rong praised, "Mother, don't worry, I will take care of Anan and Xiaobao." ”

Liu Pan'er smiled and touched her daughter's head, "Ah Rong is awesome, thanks to you taking care of my younger brothers and sisters, I can work outside with confidence." Dabao too, has become my little helper. Anan and Xiaobao are also very well-behaved, and Ali Afang can also do it. When I'm done, I'll make something to eat with you. ”

"Thank you, mother."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Although Liu Paner and Liu wanted to go hunting and improve the food for the children, they didn't have time because they cleared the wasteland every day.

Fortunately, Li Dabao and the children in the village went fishing every day. The most eaten nowadays are fish soup and grilled fish.

Although it is not very tasty, it is also a meat dish, and no one dislikes it.

The people of Lijia Village are in full swing to open up the wasteland, and no one dares to be lazy, for fear that Village Chief Li will pick on him and quit.

Li Dashan is good at farming, and the locals have eight catties of seeds per acre, but he sees that the village can open more fields, and he is in charge, and he has six catties of rice seeds per acre.

A little sparse will also be convenient to manage in the future, which is also approved by Village Chief Li.

Every day when you go out early and return late, people are very tired, and old scalpers are also tired.

Li Dabao cuts the most tender and best grass every day to feed the old cattle, and sometimes Liu Paner will secretly beat a dozen quail eggs for the old cattle to eat.

This can replenish physical strength, so that the old scalper will not become too thin because of too much work.

Although Village Chief Li and Zhou Cuihua tried their best to save food, after twelve days, all the food was eaten. In total, they carved out one hundred and seventy-three acres of land. All the rice seeds that were bought were used up.

Li Dashan once worked for the locals when he was fleeing the famine in the south, so he knew how to plant terraces.

Looking at the more than 100 acres of land on the hillside, Village Chief Li had red eyes, "This is our land!" This is our land! ”

Li Dashan also choked up and nodded, "As long as these fields can grow food, we can completely settle here." ”

Liu Paner was so tired that she sat on the ridge and looked at the slopes of the four surrounding mountains, all of which had been reclaimed as terraces. According to her calculations, it is one hundred and seventy-three acres.

Originally, she thought that there would be 150 acres, which was already a lot, but she didn't expect the villagers of Lijia Village to have such a strong desire to stay.

"Uncle Village, don't be emotional, I think we will assign the field to individuals now and let specific people manage it. Otherwise, many people will not obey the arrangement, and they will cheat and cheat, and then the grain will not be able to grow well. ”

Li Dashan thought so, and nodded again and again in agreement, "Yes, the people in our village don't have much ability, but they have a lot of thoughts. Divide the land as soon as possible, and do your own work in the future, such as pulling weeds and killing insects, irrigating water, etc. Village chief, you don't have to worry so much, lest you be so angry that you can't sleep and eat. ”

Village Chief Li nodded, "Okay, we'll divide the land today." When the time comes, harvest the grain and harvest it together. Whoever has a high yield per mu of grain, when the time comes, will be rewarded with 50 catties of grain, and it is estimated that they will be willing to do so. If there is no male laborer in the family, I will divide the lower part of the terraced fields, and those with male laborers, and divide the higher places.

There are a total of 173 acres of land in our village, and there are a total of 103 people in our village, including people over the age of eight, a total of 78 people, plus three old cattle, that is 81 adults, and the remaining 22 people under the age of 8 are divided into half of the adults' fields. Big mountain, will you count? ”

Li Dashan scratched his head, "It's so complicated, how can I count?" ”

Village Chief Li looked at Liu Pan'er, "Yuanqing's family, will you count?" ”

Of course, Liu Pan'er will calculate, "Yes, twenty-two children under the age of eight, each child is half of an adult, then it will be counted as eleven adults, plus the previous eighty-one, this is ninety-two." A total of one hundred and seventy-three acres of land, divided by ninety-two, etc., I can't do the math, I have to make a calculation! ”

Liu Pan'er picked up a branch and began to list the division equations on the ground, and after a while, the result was calculated.

"The village chief, one adult is eight per acre, and one child is nine points. In the end, there are still seven and a half acres left, don't divide it, it can be regarded as the land property of our clan. The harvest was used to build a house for the clan school and to support the establishment of a school. I can teach for free for two hours a day, but I can't even pay for pen, ink, paper, and inkstone! ”

Village Elder Li was overjoyed, "Okay, good, Yuanqing's family, your idea is very good." If we want to get ahead in Lijia Village, we have to have someone to study. If you can test your fame, you will test your fame; It's good that you can't test your fame and can read and do arithmetic. Let's go back and divide the land now. ”

During this time, everyone was tired. Now when I'm free, I can sit and never stand. Able to lie down, never sitting.

There is no need to eat together today, and Zhou Cuihua does not need to organize everyone to cook, and she is also very leisurely.

Village Chief Li stood on a high place, "Let everyone come over, let's divide the land now." ”

The lazy crowd was stunned for a moment when they heard the division of the land, and instantly had their spirits, "Village chief, didn't you say that you will divide the land after this season's harvest?" ”

Village Chief Li was also polite, "Many people are careful, eat big pot rice, and don't work hard." I always feel that it's okay for everyone to do it together and do less on their own. Everyone thinks like this, can the crops in the field still grow well?

Now that the land is divided, how much grain each family has used will be returned to the village at that time. When the time comes, the grain borrowed for meals will also be divided according to the amount of one acre of land, and each family will hand it over.

That is to say, if your land is well planted and you harvest more grain, the more you will get in the end. If you don't farm well and don't cherish your own food, there will be less food left. ”

Village Chief Li said it very bluntly, and everyone immediately understood!

"Village chief, divide the land. Although my family will not cheat, it does not mean that other families will not. Li Er was stunned for nothing else, but he could say clever things, which was amazing.

"That's it, our family won't cheat, village chief, don't say that."

"My family is the most diligent, I can't wait to get up to work when I sleep at night, how can I be lazy? Anyway, it's all fields, and their own ones are the same as those in the village. ”
