Chapter 167: Reclamation

Ertie came back with four irons and five irons to hit many birdies.

It was identified by Yan Lao Er as a quail.

Huan Huanxi took the children to remove their hair and internal organs, washed them, baked them, and ate them.

As soon as the Yan family's seasoning came out, the children kept swallowing their saliva beside them.

The little quail meat is pitiful, and there is only a trace of it for everyone, but the children are all happy, and their small mouths keep smashing it, and even the tiny bones are chewed and swallowed.

The four irons and five irons still want to eat again, but the sensible ones don't grind the two irons anymore.

The family's land was divided, and their family was divided into 55 acres of land.

There are many men in the Luo family, and so much land is also a very heavy burden.

What's more, this land is different, it is a wasteland.

The Luo family is like this, let alone the Yan family.

The Yan family was discussing how to open up the wasteland at this time.

"Clear the ground out first, and dig deep." Yan Lao Er already had an idea in his heart, and said, "When I finish plowing the ground, I will dig some river mud and fatten the land." ”

Yan Huaiwen said: "Just sprinkle some grass and wood ashes, and don't make a big move on the other side of the river for the time being." ”

Seeing that his younger brother didn't understand, he explained: "We are not familiar with this section of the river, at this time the hot water level has dropped, and when the weather turns cooler, I don't know where the water level will rise, so we will observe it for a winter before making plans." ”

Yan Lao Er was as kind as a stream, and said: "Simply gather all the weeds in those fields into a pile and burn them, and directly fertilize the ground."

By the way, big brother, the farm tools in our hands are not complete, is it to go to Huju City to urge and urge, especially the plow, our three treasures are waiting to be used. ”

Yan Lao Er was very aggrieved for Sanbao, as a capable cow, he couldn't even match the equipment.

It affected our treasure too much.

Yan Huaiwen is now immune to the title of Three Treasures.

"Tomorrow, I will go to the yamen with Manshan on an errand, and I will ask one or two, if I can't catch up, ask Qi Wu if he can use a wooden plow first."

"Okay, I'll ask later." Yan Lao Er said.

"How about running quarries and brick factories today?" Yan Huaiwen asked.

Yan Lao Er talked about the price of green and red bricks and the price of waste stones, and told Yan that he wanted to find a professional to build a house.

Yan Huaiwen had no objection, nodded and said, "But, find someone to do it, we can concentrate on reclamation." ”

He thought for a while, took out the twenty taels of silver tickets, and said, "God bless, if the money is not enough, exchange this silver ticket for expenses." ”

"Big brother, it's enough, it's not enough, I'll ask you again." Yan Lao Er refused.

Yan Huaiwen shook his head and said: "My brother is going to the yamen to do things, and everything in the family is up to you, don't just think about saving money, find the open source method, and reduce your own expenses."

Don't force yourself if you're not used to working in the fields, and it's the same with asking someone to help. ”

Yan Lao Er hurriedly said: "There is no work, just pick out the stones, and then weed, there are three treasures in the plough, and when the seeds are planted, it will be light, and then I will stare at home and build a house." ”

Yan Huaiwen saw that his younger brother had a charter in his heart, and he was even more relieved.

"Tell people in advance, our family can't take care of food, let them bring their own rations, and we can let us pay more." He remembered that his younger siblings were pregnant, and he was afraid that he would not be able to eat.

Yan Lao Er hurriedly said: "Big brother, starting a house is a big deal, the work is hard and tiring, the main family is in charge of the food, they must be willing to give us more money, I am afraid that they will be reluctant to eat well, there is no oil and water in the stomach, and the work is procrastinating, I thought, let's find an aunt on the stove to help our family cook, what do you think?" ”

"Well, then bother my brother and sister to ask the aunt in the village if they can come to help for a few days." Yan Huaiwen turned his head and said to Li Xuemei.

Li Xuemei responded: "I'll look for someone tomorrow to ask." ”

The things at home were almost sorted out, and Yan Huaiwen did not let go of a pair of children and little nieces.

Let them turn in the homework they had been assigned before, and coldly check the articles they had memorized before.

Yan Xiangheng is a player who has been 'devastated' for a long time, and his answers are fluent.

Yan Yu's small brain melon has a good memory, and he also has a ripe rolling melon.

Only the eldest girl slacked off her homework, forgot what she had learned before, and was punished by her father for copying it several times.

The eldest girl was punished, and her face was flushed with shame.

Yan Yu is very sympathetic to the eldest sister.

Leaned over and stuffed his little hand into the big girl's sister's hand.

Deliver the power of the silent.

Yan Lao Er felt that he was going to finish.

Practice words and practice words, and you can't forget to practice words when you are busy with farming.

Now that he is busy with family affairs, he doesn't dare to think about what it will be like when Lao Yan is free.

"Brother, it's better to rent a house in Huju and settle down, it's too hard for you to run back and forth."

Yan Lao Er secretly praised himself, as clever as me, haha!

"It's okay, the house won't be busy until the autumn harvest, and there aren't many things going on right now."

When Tianyou mentioned that he was going back and forth, he remembered something.

"You can discuss the livestock in the village with the village chief and the village elders to see if they should be divided, and it is not very convenient to mix them."

Yan didn't say it, Yan Lao Er really didn't think about it.

The main reason is that no one in the village has had conflicts because of the use of livestock.

Those mules and donkeys are now well treated, and some people go to feed them, and those by the river, in the mountains, and in the woods, get some fresh green grass, and the villagers will send them to them.

"I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a while, now I'm busy clearing the wasteland, these livestock are not small, I'm afraid that there will be no results in a day or two." Yan Lao Er said.

"You just remember."

Yan Huaiwen finally stuffed the silver ticket over.

Yan Lao Er reluctantly accepted it.

Do the math, Lao Yan really doesn't have much money on him.

There is an imminent need to make money.

……

Yan Huaiwen and Liang Manshan drove a donkey cart and left before dawn.

Yan Lao Er took his family and decided to start with the land by the river first.

There are few rocks and weeds near the river.

He also schemed to bring both the three treasures and the cat.

If you eat the three treasures all the way, you can get rid of a lot of weeds.

Cats, ahem, can wander around the neighborhood and comfort the wild ducks perched in the reed beach by the way.

The ten acres of land by the river are adjacent to the five acres of land of Mama Rong.

Yan Xiangheng and the eldest girl worked hard, and when they looked up again, they suddenly found that the aunt next door was hoeing grass and crossed the line.

"Auntie, this is my family's land." The big girl's face was red and bright, and her forehead was full of sweat.

Mama Rong smiled and nodded, pointed at Li Xuemei, and then pointed at herself.

The eldest girl looked confused.

Li Xuemei hurriedly said: "Big girl, this is your Aunt Rong, she is a little inconvenient to speak." ”

When the eldest girl heard this, she smiled embarrassedly and shouted "Aunt Rong".

Mama Rong smiled kindly, lowered her head and continued to hoe.

Yan Lao Er hurriedly pulled his eldest nephew and eldest niece aside, and of course his daughter.

said to the three of them: "This Rong Niang and her family are separated, she is left alone, and she can't speak, it's really pitiful, our family is just going to ask someone to cook, your aunt said, it's better to ask her first."

She is quite willing, and the salary is not much, so your aunt said, when our Sanbaola plows, by the way, I will also help her plow the land, hey! Who would have thought, this is still an informed person, and if he has to help us hoe the weeds, he won't stop talking. ”

Yan Yu was calm, her father fooled the big brother and the big sister yet.
