The rest of the village also saw Yang Dacui and Shen Yunxi taking their families to reclaim the wasteland, but they were not interested. Now each family has allocated a few acres of land and more than ten acres of land, which is enough for them to be busy.

In addition, they do not have the money to buy seeds. The land they carved out would still be wasteland if it was not cultivated.

In addition, many people are too hungry and want to rest.

Older people think that Yang Dacui and Shen Yunxi are hardworking, but some people think that they are too stupid and will ask for trouble. You can rest!

However, what these people thought was not important to Shen Yunxi.

Now she just needs to farm and earn money to build a house.

They walked a long way, past the slopes of the wasteland, and then went further to the slopes of the hills.

There is no spring on this hillside, so it is not possible to open up paddy fields, but it is possible to cultivate dry fields. It is just right for Shen Yunxi's needs. After comparison, it was immediately opened up here.

Yang Dacui and his daughter-in-law cut the grass with a sickle in front of them and cleaned up the wild vegetables on the hillside.

Tian Qiaoling led the ox in front, Shen Yunxi had great strength, she held the iron plow in the back, and walked forward step by step with difficulty.

Tian Junling picked out all kinds of grass roots from the dirt that was turned over behind her and threw them aside.

Yang Dacui's two sons, armed with shovels, began to plane the soil and turn it into terraced fields. They have been doing these things for more than half a month and are also very skilled.

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

One afternoon, when there was only one cow, they literally carved out half an acre of land.

Several people were so tired that they sat on the ground to rest. Shen Yunxi looked at this clearing and said with a smile: "As soon as I saw this clearing, my heart was very happy. If you have a piece of land, you can sow it and harvest it in the fall. ”

Yang Dacui also smiled, "Yes, with the field, my heart is steady." Whether we can do it or not, we should all work hard. Some people say that we are stupid, Youqing's family, just listen to it, don't care. Those people are lazy, and we can't be lazy. How can you live a good life if you are lazy?"

"I don't care about that." Shen Yunxi smiled: "Auntie, let's continue tomorrow." After ten days of hard work, we were able to open this hillside and have more land. What a wonderful thing!"

Yes, Yang Dacui said with a smile: "Second, third, you have a lot of strength." Quickly pick up the straw we cut and take it back. ”

Shen Yunxi was very curious: "Auntie, what are you doing with all this grass?" We're not short of firewood here, so there's no need to burn these, right?"

Yang Dacui explained with a smile: "Take the grass back, dry it, make it into small pieces, and make strong adobe bricks in the mud, which can be used to build a house."

Shen Yunxi remembered that in the former Lihua Village, there were not many people in tiled houses, most of them were earthen houses, "You can still use them like this." ”

"At that time, let the three brothers help you make adobe bricks, and we will build a house together." Yang Dacui said with a smile: "After the house is built and the crops are harvested, we can completely settle here."

It was getting dark, and the old cow was carrying the weeds, and the others were carrying bales of grass.

When I returned, it was already dark.

Sisters-in-law Zheng Guizhen and Tian Daniu have returned. Tian Da Niu was roasting two hares on the fire. Seeing Shen Yunxi coming back, he shouted, "Mother, my aunt and I caught three hares."

Shen Yunxi was surprised and praised, "You are so amazing." Great work. ”

She also wants to eat meat.

Zheng Guizhen handed Yang Dacui a skinned rabbit again: "Auntie, it's hot, and the meat doesn't need to be put away." You can take it back and bake it. ”

Yang Dacui and her two sons and daughter-in-law also wanted to eat it, but they couldn't accept something as valuable as rabbit meat. "Leave it for the kids to eat. It's too expensive. ”
