The village chief held a cigarette in his mouth, "Yuanfang, your land can no longer be on the same land as before. I will give you two acres of land near the Liang Family Tomb. Don't worry, it's all good land."
"Uncle, I want to plant wheat, and I happen to have livestock. I want to plant it tomorrow. I can just take half a day off. How much does it cost to plant an acre of land?"
"You just need to pay six yuan for an acre of land. You don't need to ask for leave. You have prepared the wheat seeds and asked your uncle to plant them for you tomorrow. It will be very convenient to water them there."
"Uncle, do you need to use chemical fertilizers to grow wheat? I will go to the countryside to buy some."
"It can be used. You can go to the rural supply and marketing cooperative and ask."
After thanking the village chief, Han Yuanfang hurried home with two carts of corn cobs.
After arriving home, Han Yuanfang was peeling the corn, thinking that she would go to the countryside after the corn was delivered to her home, and fertilizers would still have to be put in.
Li Xueshan arrived in the car soon. "Uncle, my uncle said that the land given to me was allocated to the Liangjiafeng side. He gave me two acres of land. Do you have time to plant wheat for me tomorrow?"
"Okay, we can plant it in one day tomorrow."
"Uncle, I will wait until the last cart of corn cobs arrives home and then go to the countryside to buy fertilizer. What kind do I buy? How much does it cost for two acres of land?"
"Yuanfang, please ask the salesperson. I can't explain clearly."
She just ate two vegetable buns and continued to shell corn. She had long been accustomed to doing everything by herself, and was used to paying others to work for her. She didn't think it was a big deal.
The grandfather of the Han family went to the fields. There was nothing for him to do here, so he helped load the truck. In fact, he was worried because he was afraid that the corn from the second son's house would be stolen.
Han Yuanfang really didn't know that her grandfather was in the fields. She just shelled corn quickly. These were all her own chores. She also had to go to school. She had to ask for leave tomorrow. It couldn't be justified if she didn't farm at home.
"Yuanfang."
"Dongmei, you're here."
"Yeah, I'll help you shell the corn."
The two little girls were chatting and working all day.
"Dongmei, please help me ask for leave tomorrow."
"Okay, you have so much work at home." Poor little sister.
"I'm going to plant wheat tomorrow. The village chief gave me two acres of land. I don't have time to go over and check it out yet, so I asked Uncle Xueshan to help me plant the land."
"Well, I will tell the teacher tomorrow, and the teacher will definitely understand."
Han Yuanfang was grateful to Han Dongmei. This girl came over to work for him after dinner.
Grandma Han also came over. Although she couldn't raise her granddaughter, she couldn't help with the big work. The boss didn't have any work at home, so she helped her granddaughter with some light work.
"Milk, you go and rest for a while."
"No, it's better to peel the corn quickly." The eldest son's family had other ideas. If the granddaughter wasn't at home, she wouldn't come over to work.
With the addition of two people, the speed is much faster.
The last cart of corn arrived home, and Grandpa Han came with it.
"Master, milk, I'm going to buy fertilizer. I'm going to plant wheat tomorrow."
"Have you asked clearly about the land?" Grandpa Han asked.
"Well, the village chief said he would give me two acres of land and assigned it to Liangjiafeng. I will ask Uncle Xueshan to plant it for me tomorrow."
Grandpa Han didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say. His granddaughter made the arrangements herself.
Han Dongmei knew that the eldest uncle of the Han family was worried about Yuanfang's house money and things. After she left, she stayed to help look after the house.
I rode my bicycle to the rural supply and marketing cooperative. Although the cooperative had been disbanded for a year, country people still came to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy big things.
After asking for clarification, this time there was urea and gas fertilizer. They were top dressing fertilizers, not base fertilizers. They could not be used when planting crops. In the end, I spent 32 yuan to buy a bag of urea.
It was already two hours after she got home, and Han Dongmei's grandma came over to help shell the corn.
She was sweating profusely, mainly because the supply and marketing company helped load a hundred kilograms of urea into the car. She could not reach it on a bicycle, so it was really hard to carry a hundred kilograms of things.
Grandpa Han was also shelling corn. When he saw his granddaughter pushing the cart in, he immediately went over to help unload the cart.
"Yuanfang, can't we use urea?"
"Well, the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have any base fertilizer, so I bought a bag of urea and waited for the wheat to come out. If it gets cloudy one day, I'll go get the urea."
Grandpa Han didn't say anything, and the two of them carried it into the side room.
Five people can peel corn quite quickly. Han Yuanfang thought for a while, "Grandpa, do you want to make a corn basket? We have done it before."
"Well, okay, I'll get you a corn basket."
Even if a man is older, he is better than a woman at this kind of work.
Han Yuanfang wanted to help, but Grandpa Han refused.
Grandpa Han made two large corn baskets using some wood, bricks and wire at home.
Now Han Yuanfang was relieved, she could use the space to visit the corn basket.
Li Xueshan pulled over two carts of corn stalks and leaned them against the wall outside.
"Uncle, I will give you the money and my third uncle's money. Should I send it over or what should I do?"
"Your third uncle will be here soon."
Grandpa Han and Grandma Han felt distressed when they saw their granddaughter giving money, but that was all. She knew that the little girl couldn't do so much work.
It was getting dark, so Grandma Han and Han Dongmei went back, but Grandpa Han stayed behind to continue shelling corn.
The two men worked in silence, neither knowing what to say.
Han Yuanfang knew that these two old men did not care about their dead son. They had their own concerns.
It was already completely dark. "Grandpa, you go back to eat. I'll finish peeling the rest in two days."
"Well, don't worry, I'm exhausted."
"I know."
Han Yuanfang locked the door after her grandfather left and hurriedly served the two pigs.
Two hours later, she sat down to shuck corn again.
The lights in the main room were on, otherwise she wouldn't be used to being alone in the dark.
I worked until eleven o'clock, and now only one-third is left.
It was really getting late. She didn't want to get tired, so she got up and used the space to put away the corn.
A whole basket of corn was put in. The rest was put in the second basket.
This three acres and six cents of land can hold two baskets.
It was too late today and I didn’t have the energy to read. After taking a shower, I fell asleep.
The next day, she got up at five o'clock. The pigs and chickens at home were served and she had breakfast. Then she locked the door and went to the village chief's house. She didn't know where her two acres of land was.
Han Yuanfang knew that the village was taking care of her and gave her two acres of land.
The village chief had just had breakfast at his house. The group went to the land at Liangjiafeng. The village chief asked his third son to call the brigade accountant to measure out the land.
The land here is really good, not any worse than the land at her home now.
