When the chicks and ducklings were brought back to the children, I brought an old hen, a duck and a mother goose for each of them, which was the experience of raising chickens before, and the chicks who had just arrived in the new environment needed to be led by a mother, and so on, I also found a mother for the ducklings and goslings.

Hanhan, An An, Xuanxuan three of them raised chickens, ducklings, and geese respectively, and there were so many small animals at home, which was very lively, in order to distinguish their respective chickens, they were very smart to use watercolor pens to dye small animals into various colors, Han Han chose green, An An chose blue, and Xuanxuan chose pink.

After the second sister's Sissi came to see, she went home and immediately dyed her chickens red, and a few of their friends saw that their little animals had their own exclusive colors, so they went to their aunt's house together to dye the 30 small animals that Chenchen had distributed into lotus lotus colors. Since then, regularly coloring the animals has been a long-term task.

During this period, Zhang Fanyu and Chen Ming came to report their recent work to us.

They listened to Jiang Zhi's words at our house that day, and went to the county a few days ago to have a look, and also went to the gas station to ask the price.

When asking the price at the gas station, the government official blatantly sold them the diesel in his personal hands, the price was slightly cheaper than the diesel sold at the gas station, and he didn't need any letter of introduction.

There is no consensus of opinion, and there is no choice but to adopt the method of subordination of the minority to the majority. In the end, there were many people who wanted to save a little, so they decided to go back and buy the private oil promoted by that person.

When they saw that the man was loading them with diesel directly from the gas station's oil gun, they were all overjoyed. The food is saved, the quality is also guaranteed, and there will be no possibility of water or other oils.

When they brought it back, they used a tricycle borrowed from our family, covered it a little, and transported it back to the village at noon when everyone went home for dinner.

They were all very prescient. He said that he would have to wait until he needed the oil before taking it out, or someone should come to the house to wait.

They also reported to us that they wanted to study like our family. Grow food in the open wasteland. We have received high praise and encouragement.

At the end of May, we planted potatoes on 4 acres of land and sweet potatoes on 8 acres.

The four acres of land of the eldest brother-in-law's family are planted with our family, and half of them are planted with corn. Half of them are planted with sweet potatoes and potatoes.

During the period when our family was cleared. The village is not peaceful, some people see that our family has opened so much land at once, planted so much corn and sweet potatoes, and they are a little red-eyed, how much grain will my family have to harvest in the autumn. They only think about what we will get, and they don't see what we give. I didn't see that these days, Jiang Zhi and the others spent every day on the wasteland, and they worked for a day. The sweat that falls can be counted in the basin.

Within a few days, rumors circulated in the village that our family had cut down and occupied the land of the whole village when we were clearing the wasteland, and Chen Ming and Qin Hanbin inquired about us. The two brothers of the Li family who spread rumors everywhere.

The two brothers encouraged a few soft-eared people to go to the village chief to talk about things. Saying that our family has just come to open up the wasteland so wantonly, what do you want to do? He also pointed out that the land in the village belongs to the whole village, not our family, which means that the area of our family's land is too large, and we eat more and occupy more.

In fact, during this period, not only our family was clearing the wasteland, but also in the west of the paddy field, there were several families that were reclaiming the wasteland, that is, Chen Ming's family and Sun Jun's family, and my aunt's family was also in the west of the land, and Jiang Zhi also went to help for two days. It's just that the labor force of several of their families is limited, and they only open a few acres of land, unlike our family, where there are huge power charms to cheat, and the labor force has increased several times.

The village chief was annoyed by such a few people for a few days, and he did not become a strong-willed person, so he introduced a soil rule in Tashan Village, and the number of acres of land cultivated by each household should not exceed 10 acres, and if it exceeded, the excess land should be handed over to the village for unified disposal, or pay a certain amount of grain to buy the right to use the land.

Subsequently, a few villagers who were looking for trouble came to our house with a very stylish white-haired old man, and after introduction, we knew that this old man was the most prestigious old man in Tashan Village, the former village chief, the uncle of the current village chief, and everyone called him Li Sanye.

Li Sanye was wearing a navy blue gown, and based on his white hair and folds on his face, I judged that he should be in his 70s.

Surrounded by a few, he entered our house and found a seat in the living room by himself, and after sitting down, he closed his eyes, as if waiting for us to come forward to say goodbye, and he was very capable.

Seeing this situation, I stopped Wei Wei, who was going to the backyard to call Dad Jiang and Dad Qu, there was no need for our old people to come to see the faces of these people we didn't know.

I sent Weiwei and the others away, and the living room left our husband and wife and Li Shanqing and Li Cheng, we let the people who came into the living room, and regardless of the lack of seats, we all sat on the sofa, shut up and didn't squeak, just looked at these people who came, but those shrimp soldiers and crab generals all looked at Li Sanye who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, and there was a silent scene in the living room for a while.

Li Sanye sat there a little uncontrollable, so he had to open his eyes and see that we were also sitting on the sofa, his eyes showed dissatisfaction, and he frowned and asked, "You are the new people who moved in, right?" ”

Isn't this nonsense, if it's not new, you wouldn't know it? We listened to such questions, but we didn't say anything.

Jiang Zhi didn't squeak when he heard it, he just looked at him with a smile.

Seeing that no one replied to his words, Li Sanye was probably a little unaccustomed to it, so he tightened his face and asked, "Since you have moved to our village, you must abide by the rules of our village." Xiaofeng, you tell them about the rules of our village. ”

I had long seen the Li brothers hiding in the crowd, and I thought they were just looking for a draw, thinking that we wouldn't be able to find out if we hid in the crowd, and I recognized the two of them when they turned to ashes.

Now that Li Feng heard Li Sanye call him, his face showed a hint of dissatisfaction for a moment. But he quickly hidden, and he stepped out of the crowd and stopped when he was far away from the couch. After stopping, he said to us: "There is a rule in our village, you are not allowed to open up the wasteland without permission, and if you want to open up the wasteland, you must get the approval of the village head, and each family can only open up 10 acres of land, if there are more than 10 acres, the village has the right to take back the extra land, and then distribute it uniformly." Or take money to buy the right to use the land. Your family has more than 10 acres of wasteland, right? Seeing that you are new here, you may not know this rule of our village, so I won't pursue it. But you still have to follow the rules, you see whether to hand over the land or the grain, right? ”

After Li Feng finished speaking, he looked at Li Sanye, and after Li Sanye listened to Li Feng's words, he closed his eyes again. It was as if he was waiting for us to say good things to him. Waiting for us to beg him.

I really can't get used to him like this, you said we don't know you, what kind of style do you put on in our house.

"Li Sanye, are you mistaken, we went to ask the village chief before we opened up the wasteland, and the village chief didn't say that there was such a rule at the time, why did even the village chief forget this rule? Or is this a rule set by someone specifically for our family? As I spoke, my eyes turned to Li Feng.

Li Feng made me look a little unnatural, but he still tried his best to look at me calmly.

I think his virtue is too lazy to look at. Turned his eyes back again.

When Li Sanye heard my words, his eyes immediately widened. As if he was going to eat me, he said, "Your family is too unruly, what can a woman do?" Cook in the house, just look at the children, how do you get a woman to come out and talk back? ”

I heard this, my lungs were going to explode, this still looks down on women, this is a person who has a mother and no mother, I don't understand the greatness of women, I was just about to rise up to theorize, Jiang Zhi held me down next to me, and whispered: "There is no need to be angry with this kind of person, and there is no need to reason with this kind of person, you said it, and he doesn't understand." ”

"Third Master Li, you are an old idea, the women in our family can do anything, I won't tell you in detail about what they can do, and you don't understand it, but what I can tell you is that all the women in our family can call the shots.

And what you just said, there are new rules in our village, and our family does not investigate whether the new rules are aimed at our family, I just tell you that since we have moved here, we must act according to the rules.

Our family has opened up 24 acres so far, if someone doesn't believe it, you can go to our family's field to measure, but these 24 acres of land are opened by my daughter-in-law and her sister together, we are 3 families have opened a total of 24 acres, according to the rules, our family can open another 6 acres of land, I'm not wrong, right? Jiang Zhi looked at Li Feng who was standing in front of him and asked, ignoring Li Feng's dodging eyes, and said, "So we haven't exceeded the number of wastelands stipulated by our village." ”

At the last village committee meeting, our family was counted as 3 families, and we paid 3 portions of grain, so we counted as 3 families when we should fulfill our obligations, and we counted as one family when we should enjoy our rights, right?

Everyone present attended the village meeting that day, so no one dared to raise objections to our three families, so we didn't exceed the standard if we opened up the wasteland.

Jiang Zhi did not take drastic measures this time, our family is reasonable, we are not afraid to talk about it, and we are not afraid to say something.

Jiang Zhi sent away all these people who were going to come to find fault with them with a word.

After watching Li Sanye lead those people to pretend to be calm, I sighed, "Why can't these people stop living their own lives, they have to stare at other people's homes every day, see where others are better than him, just come out and jump, is it interesting?" ”

Jiang Zhi replied to me: "This is human nature, there are some people who can't see others as better than themselves, and can't see others as better than themselves." He couldn't sleep until he didn't make some trouble for others. We don't have time to care what these people are going to do, as long as it doesn't affect our own lives, they can jump as much as they like, and there will be a day when they cry. ”

Originally, we thought that these would be enough for the family to eat, but since they had made rules for us, if we didn't follow them, it seemed that we were a little out of place, so we worked for one more day, and opened up another 6 acres of land, planting soybeans, mung beans and other crops.

Basically, our newly opened land has been connected to the mountains and connected to the paddy fields to form a large area, which is convenient for future planting and management. (To be continued.) )
