Some families allocate helpers, while others do not.
Renting cattle has just begun. With this beginning, more people will come one after another.
These helpers have really helped each family a lot.
The man in the family left with Yan Er, and the half-year-old child was sent out to work on the business of renting cattle. There was indeed a shortage of manpower.
The waiter formed a team for them, and when the ladies of the several families met, they made clear arrangements for whose family would provide food for the day, who would feed the chickens and rabbits, who would herd sheep and cattle, and who would go to the fields with helpers.
The helpers also truly saw the pride of Xiaoan Village.
If the oxen is rich, one oxen is more than enough for the plow.
I just regret that the plow is not enough.
The Yan family was assigned five helpers.
Yan Yu took the assigned laborers to his farmland and watched them get acquainted with the cattle. He hitched the cattle to the plow, then pressed the plow to plow the land deeply. The moist and dark soil was dug out, and the dark color slowly followed the cattle.
It moves and stretches, stops at the end, and draws a new line again.
Yan Yu listened for a while and kept nodding his head. If he was wrong, he had to educate us.
Li Wan was able to do it on his own, and Kuku stuffed it into his mouth.
"You also want us to help circle a few pastures suitable for grazing. You remember that herdsmen take their cattle and sheep to eat the spring pastures, then the summer pastures, and then the autumn pastures and winter pastures. They rotate in this way to provide grass.
It takes time for them to grow, so as not to be eaten naked by them. It is too laborious for us to store grass. It is all manual work, busy and tiring, so we should follow that method."
It's steaming hot and you'll feel bad eating it!
They are all fresh vegetables that are rare nowadays.
"Wow! Mom, you can eat ten!!" Li Wan took it with his hands, put it directly into his mouth, raised his head, and put it out of his mouth, swallowing eight mouthfuls in two.
When I was immersed in working, I felt that when I stopped, I felt sticky all over my body, and my clothes were all stained on my body.
The oxen and plows changed owners, and the villagers looked at the white soil on their feet with anguish and joy.
A cool earthy smell.
Let Li Xuemei take Babao away first, and then go back to the village to find some village elders.
The hands are gesturing to make you feel full.
Knowing that you have worked hard today, I have prepared a big stove for you early.
Very slowly, the village elders set out to patrol the fields.
He taught him lessons from house to house.
The cat was having fun outside the field, but in fact it scratched out a lot of weeds with its claws, and even stones outside the field were kicked to the edge of the field by people on its back.
Aunt Rong gestures for you to take off your gloves and pours water for you to rinse your hands.
"He knows how to plow, and how to plow the ground straight, and how to make ridges."
"Li Xuemei is here to eat, and those are all yours, hehe!" After eating the dried tofu roll at the bottom, there were seven smooth bean buns on top.
Once you get to the place by the river.
Cucumber! Spring onions! Cilantro!
As for why you are so obsessed with farming, Yan Yu believed that it was because your father lost the land in your hometown later. Although your mother said this, she has always been worried about it.
"We've already had a small meeting. I've said it many times to grab time and open less space. But as soon as I touched on something, I just stepped on the ground and forgot all about it! I have less work to teach us.
Now, can they finish it by themselves?!"
Yan Yu nodded repeatedly: "It's just that the technique is bad, so we don't have to teach it all over again and waste our time."
Li Xuemei stopped and smiled at Yan Yu with squinted eyes from a distance.
After there was no food in his stomach, Yan Yu remembered and asked: "Mom, how are these seven people working? How hard are they?"
You looked pretty bad when you left, but you still knew what the situation was like before you left.
There is too little work, so bringing so many people back to the village is to help us share the work.
Yan Yu and Li Xuemei walked to the river, leaving Li Wanjian watching.
She turned her head and exclaimed in surprise: "Li Xuemei, you love him!"
The number of soil bags outside the earth is steadily increasing.
Yan Yu swallowed the first sip and drank the water without feeling comfortable.
Served with Li Wanjian's sauce and the tofu skin that is not yet moist.
Look at the sun, it's still early, then let's eat?
How can you worry about leaving your own land to others, especially the young men behind these quarries? God, how can these people know how to work? The land is turned right and left, and it is hard to walk.
To be honest, it’s better to do it ourselves.
Yan Yu:!!!
When Li Wanjian saw you looking up at the sky, he said: "You got up early in the morning. You have to do such heavy work. You have already digested the food you have eaten. Hurry up and get some rest."
Li Wan quickly ran over, picked up the shovel, and followed Babao in front of Babao to dig in the soil.
You don’t have a small plan to open up wasteland. If you plow less in spring, you will get less harvest in autumn.
It quenches both hunger and thirst.
In the former Yan family, Li Xuemei was in charge of everything. You could plant whatever you wanted, so that Yan Yu could do what he did.
You even know when your mother came over.
Yes, we people, whether they are helpers who rent cattle or criminals in the quarry, we all call the people in Da'an Village boss.
Three people were driving three cows, but Grandma Rong did not take action. Instead, through Li Xuemei's mouth, she constantly adjusted the depth of the three people's digging to achieve the desired effect.
Today is indeed a day suitable for farming according to Grandma Rong. The spring breeze is not urgent, the sun is high, and there is a faint warmth on the body.
"Li Xuemei has been simmering it under the pot all morning. Try it, braised snake meat with soy sauce!"
"Work hard, the village elders are biased towards us. The people who allocate quarries to us are all farmers who have traded cattle for them. They just need to take care of the strange cattle. You ask us to take turns, and we say use them."
The oxen are tired, and our iron plows are not working properly. We can just rest for a day." Li Wanjian said with a smile: "How can we really let people rest for a day? It's just the first day of work, so don't make them tired."
As Yan Yu walked along, he saw people in our village driving cattle to plow the soil with great energy. He was holding his forehead.
Yan Yu nodded, the bean buns are sweet, the braised snake meat in soy sauce is slightly salty, tsk tsk, it’s such a mix, but it’s delicious even when you stand it, you just feel the effort you’ve used up, rushing to come back hahahahaha!
The people of Da'an Village were so called when they first heard it, but then they forgot about it in the busy work.
Yan Yu turned his head and wiped the sweat from under his head.
Handed over a dried tofu roll.
Pretty unified.
I have no obsession with farming, so I still have to go to the ground with my children.
In the former case, Man Yuqian was standing, pulling out the weeds he had dug up with a rake. After working for a few times, he looked up at the children behind him.
Then I saw that Li Xuemei and Babao hadn't started work yet.
There are spring weeds popping up in the fields. When the cows pass by, they pucker their mouths. Then they are overturned by the plow, and the weak and small roots are exposed to the breeze and tremble.
"When the paddy fields are dug over there, we have to dig a canal for our village, and build it together with the waterwheel. Grandpa Kang said that I have studied the blueprints and understood them. We just gave them to these little guys who know mechanics.
When we come back, the quarry has been covered, and the manpower is small. Those people are good at farm work, but they are not good at planning the direction of the canal, measuring the water depth based on the wind direction, or assembling the waterwheel parts."
Aunt Rong took out another clay pot wrapped in cloth.
Yan Yu gradually found a rhythm that suited you, digging deeper and deeper.
"Da Qi! Stop for a moment, take a break and have something to eat!" Grandma Rong shouted.
Yes, you have to be like that, be energetic!
The other two people were watching and learning from the side, measuring with their hands, and remembering the owner's requirements.
She knelt down and grabbed a handful of soil, kneaded it in her hands, and brought it to her nose to smell it.
