"You're ten years old, are you still young? Dabao, who is not yet ten years old, is now busy every day, and is a diligent child. If we are not the young master's life, we have to be diligent, third aunt, do you say yes? "Zhou Cuihua is most annoyed by this Li San's grandmother, if there is a benefit, she will take advantage of it; It's no good, hide farther than a rabbit, and faster.

That's not all, I often talk about cool things, but it's annoying.

Grandma Li San is not happy, now that the family has been allocated a few acres of land, and she doesn't have to pay taxes, she feels that life is better, and her waist is naturally hard.

"Dabao is pitiful, begging for a life in the hands of his stepmother, without the protection of his mother and grandmother, don't you have to be busy?" Grandma Li San spoke unforgivingly and harshly.

Zhou Cuihua was about to say more, but was stopped by Liu Pan'er, "Aunt Cuihua, let's hurry up and open up the wasteland, maybe we can grow good things, let's sell it to make money and build a big house." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Cuihua nodded, "Yes, with this grinding work, we can open up more ground." ”

Looking at their backs leaving, Grandma Li San spat on their backs, "I'm sorry, look at what you can, if you can grow those messy things that can be sold for money, I'll kneel down and kowtow to you." ”

Liu Pan'er has good hearing, turned her head sharply, and looked at Grandma Li San, "You keep kowtowing to me, I can't stand it." ”

Grandma Li San said bad things behind her back, and was caught red-handed by Liu Pan'er, her face was embarrassed, she turned her head, and walked away, not daring to continue to talk about it.

After all, Liu Paner is notorious, and Grandma Li San is afraid that Liu Paner will go crazy and deal with their family.

There are also other people in the village who saw Zhou Cuihua and Liu Paner taking their families to open up the wasteland, but everyone was not interested.

In addition, they had no money to buy seeds, and the land that was carved out was not cultivated, and became wasteland.

In addition, when they are hungry, many people are too lazy to move and want to rest.

Older people think that Zhou Cuihua and Liu Paner are diligent, but some people think they are too stupid and ask for hardship. You can rest and work!

However, what these people think is not important to Liu Paner.

Now she only needs to cultivate land and earn money to build a house.

They walked a long way, past the slopes of the mountains that had been cleared, and went to the slopes of the mountains farther away.

There are no springs on this hillside, so paddy fields cannot be opened, but dry fields can. It is suitable for Liu Paner's needs, and after comparison, he immediately opened up the wasteland here.

Zhou Cuihua took her daughter-in-law to cut the grass with a sickle in front and clean up the wild vegetables on the hillside.

Li Fang led the ox in front, and Liu Pan'er had great strength, holding the iron plough in the back, step by step, and walked forward with difficulty.

Li Li picked out all kinds of grass roots in the soil that had been turned up behind her and threw them aside.

Zhou Cuihua's two sons took shovels and began to level the ploughed soil and make terraced fields. For more than half a month, they have been doing these jobs, but they are also proficient.

Although there are few people, everyone is very hardworking and diligent.

One afternoon, with only one cow, they actually cleared half an acre.

Several people were so tired that they sat on the ground to rest, Liu Paner looked at the ground and said with a smile: "As soon as I see the ground that has been opened, I feel happy." Once you have a field, sow the seeds, and in the fall, you can reap the harvest. ”

Zhou Cuihua also smiled, "Yes, with Tian, my heart is steady." Whether it works or not, we have to try. Some people say that we are stupid, Yuan Qing's family, you just listen to it, don't care. Those people are lazy, we can't be lazy. How can people live a good life if they are lazy? ”

"I don't care about that." Liu Pan'er said with a smile, "Auntie, let's continue tomorrow, ten days of hard work, we can open this hillside, and we can have a few more acres of land, what a good thing." ”

"Yes!" Zhou Cuihua said with a smile, "Second, third, you have a lot of strength, hurry up and bundle the grass and bring it back." ”

Liu Pan'er was curious, "Auntie, what are you doing with all this grass?" We don't have a shortage of firewood to burn here, so there's no need to burn these, right? ”

Zhou Cuihua smiled and explained: "These grasses are taken back, dried in the sun and made into small sections, and in the mud, they are made into adobe bricks and are strong, which can be used to build houses." ”

Liu Paner remembered that in the original Lijia Village, there were not many people with tiled houses, most of them were earthen houses, "There is still this effect!" ”

"When the time comes, I'll ask the three of them to help you break the adobe bricks, and we'll build a house together." Zhou Cuihua said with a smile, "When the house is built and our grain is harvested, then we can completely settle here." ”

It was getting dark, and the old ox was carrying weeds on his back, and the others were also carrying large and small bales of grass on their backs.

When I returned, it was already dark.

Sister-in-law Liu and Li Dabao have returned, Li Dabao is roasting two wild rabbits on the fire, and when he saw Liu Paner coming back, he shouted loudly, "Mother, my aunt and I caught three wild rabbits." ”

Liu Paner was surprised and praised, "You guys are really amazing, you have worked hard." ”

She also wants to eat meat, and her stomach is greedy.

Liu handed another skinned rabbit to Zhou Cuihua, "Auntie, it's hot, the meat is not released, you can take it back and roast it." ”

Zhou Cuihua and her two sons and daughters-in-law also want to eat it, but they can't accept rabbit meat, which is so valuable, "Leave it for the children to eat, it's too precious." ”

Liu Pan'er took it and stuffed it into Zhou Cuihua's hand, "The wasteland that was opened, my aunt told us that half of the family was taking advantage, obviously my family took advantage, and I didn't refuse." Take this rabbit meat back and replenish everyone's body, don't refuse. ”

Zhou Cuihua's second son, Li Yuanlang, smiled and said, "Mother, since my sister-in-law said so, let's accept it." I haven't eaten meat for many days, and I'm hungry. ”

The daughter-in-law also swallowed saliva with hope in her eyes.

Seeing this, Zhou Cuihua had to accept it, "Then I won't be polite to you, I'll accept it, thank you." ”

The family left happily with rabbit meat.

Li Dabao was roasting rabbit meat, and Liu was holding a propped rabbit skin on the side and roasting it not far from the fire.

"If you're lucky, you hit the rabbit, the meat is edible, the skin is processed, it's saved, and in the winter, make winter clothes for a few children, and keep it warm." Liu said with a smile that the third brother and sister went to open up the wasteland, she went hunting, had land, and meat to eat.

Liu Paner thanked, "Then I will touch the light of my sister-in-law, I can't hunt, but I will open up wasteland and farm." It just so happened that I bought some seeds with fruits, and when the land was cleared and planted, the children could eat them, and the surplus could be sold. Make more money, build houses, buy fabrics, make clothes. ”

Liu nodded, "Third brother and sister, they all listen to you." I'm in charge of finding food at home, and I dug a trap with Dabao today, and if I'm lucky, I can get something. There is no food, but you can eat wild vegetables, some meat, and wild fruits. ”

The two of them, at this time, can be regarded as dependent on each other.
