Forget it, if you are tired, you will be tired, but she knows that sweet potatoes must not taste good when planted by the river. Besides, there have been free-range and grass-mowing people over there for a long time, and if you let the animals eat them, you should feel distressed.

"Third aunt, my third master said that there is a lot of wasteland in the west, let me go there to open up wasteland. I'm afraid that sweet potatoes won't taste good when they are planted near the water. ”

"That's right. But it's quite far from your house, and they go to herd sheep in the summer, for fear of being ruined. ”

Chen Miao thought for a while, "Third aunt, do you think it's okay for me to go to the foot of the mountain to plant sweet potatoes?" ”

"It's all the same, go back and tell the children that it's the sweet potato you planted, don't be a hoho."

When I got home, it was getting dark, and I fed the livestock, thinking that if I had money, I would buy two lambs, but I didn't have the money.

Chen Jiang secretly gave himself five copper plates, this kid is really good, it's enough to buy chickens.

Let's stop and wait until the autumn to sell some food. In fact, I can exchange money now, mainly because I don't have the courage to go out.

The next day, I carried a hoe and a big pickaxe up the mountain, and there were two fairly flat places, where sweet potatoes were planted. In the future, the gourd will also be planted here.

There are many stones on the mountain, and they are all thrown aside, and the sweet potato ridges will be beaten, which is to hook out the high ridge backs.

I got such a piece of land all day. The other plot is simply planted with sorghum.

Chen Jiang came over in the evening. "All the land at home has been planted?"

"Well, third sister, my mother is unhappy, the three sisters-in-law are working and climbing, and they all say that they do more and others do less, I heard my mother and father say that they want to let the three of them move out.

The land of the house was divided according to the head of the house, and let them go out and build a house. ”

"Can you agree?"

"Why don't you want to, my sister-in-law has long wanted to split up. It's just that I don't like the money given by my mother. ”

Chen Miao didn't say anything, but she knew that the average elderly were reluctant to split up their families because of the size of their families, mainly because there were still young ones below who had not yet started a family, and they had to earn money together to make a family for the younger ones.

It is estimated that talking about separating the family now is a moment of anger.

Let Chen Jiang eat a bowl of sweet porridge, what she eats is ordinary porridge, mixed with wild vegetables.

The next day, instead of going up the mountain, I planted cotton seedlings at home. There was a well in the yard, and it didn't take much effort, and the cotton seeds of the half-acre of land I bought happened to be planted.

After squatting for a day, Chen Miao was so tired that he almost fell asleep when he took a bath at night.

She knew that she was too tired to rest at all.

I didn't clean up anything, I lay down under the covers and fell asleep.

The next day I was awakened by hunger. After brushing your teeth, you will eat first, and when you are full, you will start feeding the little donkey.

I wanted to go to the mountains to clean up the land today, but I was too lazy to move. Forget it, it's at home today.

After a day's rest, I got up early the next day to water the cotton. More than 20 gourd seedlings were dug up the mountain. It's not planted in one place, anyway, it's just planted when you look at the right place.

When I got to the second plot, I really didn't want to work, so I sat on the edge of the field, nibbled on a chicken leg, drank a bottle of juice, and then got up to work.

I didn't get home until it was dark, and I had to go to Shen Sanye's house tomorrow to change some sorghum seeds. I also have to go to the village chief's house and ask when the sweet potatoes can be planted.

I had nightmares all night at night, either being chased by dogs or carrying mountains. Anyway, I didn't wake up the next morning when I opened my eyes as usual.

When I heard a knock on the door, I had to agree to get up.

"Third sister, our family is really separated."

Chen Miao was stunned for a moment: "Really divided?" ”

"Yes, I was divided last night, and I made a fuss for half the night." Chen Jiang followed Chen Miao into the house and looked at the third sister about to light the fire, "I'll come." ”

"As soon as I got up, I cooked for the donkey first."

She went to the back of the house to brush her teeth and wash her face, and she cooked when Chen Jiang went to feed the donkey.

"Third sister, last night the sister-in-law and their mother almost did it, and finally my father beat the eldest brother and them."

"Why?"

"My mother said that they should give them a dollar a year to support the elderly, but my sister-in-law didn't want to."

A dollar is indeed a lot. "How much land is distributed to them?"

"Three acres of land for a family."

Chen Miao thought that if she didn't want to, she wouldn't want to. I still have to build a house, and the family has three children to raise, and I have a lot of money to build a house.

"What did I say in the end?"

"It's definitely not okay not to give, and finally said to give 200 copper coins a year,"

A piece of ocean is equivalent to 300 copper coins, but in fact, it is not much.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, they went to the village chief and said they wanted to build a house?"

"Well, but I also think that the eldest brother and they should not be together, and the sister-in-law is always fighting."

"It doesn't matter what they do, after they are separated, they will live their own lives."

"Hmm. Now the house is clean. ”

Calling Chen Jiang to eat another bowl of porridge, the two sisters and brothers watered the cotton.

"I went to the village chief's house to ask about the sweet potato seedlings."

"Third sister, eldest brother, they must still be at the village chief's house."

Chen Miao didn't care, "Then I'll go to Shen Sanye's house first and borrow some sorghum seeds." ”

"Third sister, has the ground on your mountain been opened?"

"yes. Sweet potato ridges are also played. ”

Chen Jiang followed, with him leading the way, and he had to inquire about it. Grandma Shen San was at home, "Third grandmother, can you lend me some sorghum seeds?" ”

"Chen Miao, your third master told me, what are you borrowing, is it enough to give you two ears?"

"Enough, enough. Third grandmother, when I harvest the sorghum after the autumn, I will definitely return you. ”

The old lady didn't refuse, "Chen Miao, I have white sorghum at home, sticky sorghum, what do you want?" ”

"Three milks, can two kinds of sorghum be planted together?"

"It's better not to plant them together, otherwise the strings of flowers will be skewered, and then sticky sorghum will not be sticky sorghum, and white sorghum will not be white sorghum."

"Third grandmother, I'll just have a piece of land, you stick sorghum for me."

"Also. You can eat sticky sorghum as you like. ”

He took two ears of sorghum and went to the village chief's house. I really didn't let Chen Jiang say it right. Their brothers are really not there.

"Fifth aunt, when can the sweet potato seedlings be planted?"

"Chen Miao is here, the day after tomorrow. The three families I asked were all acquired, one was a sweet potato with a white pulp, and the other four were all with a red pulp. ”

"Thank you, Aunt Five, when will I come over the day after tomorrow."

"After breakfast, you can come over, and I will take you to the other three to get it, one will give you a maximum of fifty trees, and I will give you a hundred."

"I know Aunt Five."

The two sisters and brothers walked back, "Third sister, I'll go home and have a look." ”

Chen Miao returned home and packed up his farm tools and went up the mountain, which was his own work in the morning and evening.

The sorghum can be planted a little denser, and the two ears of sorghum are stacked and soaked in a wooden barrel, and she uses a big pickaxe to hook the ridges. It's a tiring job. It can't be too shallow, and you can only pick up the pickaxe to dry.

Dry for a while, rest for a while. After hooking ten ridges, start watering, and then go to hook the ridges, and then plant after the water seeps down, and cover the soil with your feet.

After lunch, I took a half-hour break and continued.

In the end, there is still some land left, and I have soybeans by myself, and I can plant some soybeans. That is, three ridges of soybeans, as much as you can.
