Man Bao happily took Zhou Lang's hand and went out, but before going out, Qian arranged a place for them, "Since you want to go into the mountains, then go to the Koufen field you have been assigned to have a look, and pick up some firewood on the way."
"
Then he said to Wulang and Zuorang who were about to sneak out to play: "You two go together. We don't have much firewood at home. We need to fetch more."
Wu Lang and Liu Lang bowed their heads in response, and complained to Man Bao as soon as they went out, "Why are we going into the mountains in such a cold weather? Look, we have to collect firewood, right?"
"I've made an appointment with someone to catch sparrows."
Man Bao said confidently: "I am doing something big, and there are many things in the mountains, which are so fun."
"Isn't it just plucking flowers and plants? Next time we go into the mountains, we will plucking them for you. Why don't we go there today?"
"No, you must go!" Man Bao had just been drawn a blueprint by Keke. It was a time of great ambition, so how could he not go?
The three brothers of the Zhou family could only sigh and took Manbao out of the village and walked away.
Man Bao has never been to the place we went to this time.
That's Juro's kubita.
It sounds like that, but in fact it is not a field, but a mountain forest mixed with a barren wasteland.
Everyone has forty acres of farmland, and the village chief and village chief are also fair. The farmland is allocated from the mountains near the village. When it was Zhou Lang's turn, the mountains near the village were almost allocated, so he divided the land.
It's a bit far away, it takes about two-quarters of an hour to walk from the village, and it's almost to the boundary of another village.
This division is also rough, and there is no detailed measurement. There is not much else here, but there are many hills, and the mountains are full of miscellaneous trees and weeds. It is said that it is 40 acres, but the old people in the village got together to estimate it.
, then he drew a circle with one stroke and said: "This is forty acres."
So everyone knocked a wooden stake in this place and put another wooden stake in that place, and the place was determined.
This mountain is of no use anyway. It will be taken back to the country when people die.
However, when Zhou Lang reached out and drew a circle and told Man Bao that this mountain belonged to him, Man Bao still opened his eyes in envy and exclaimed, "Fourth brother, you are so amazing! Fourth brother
, you have a lot of land!"
This is something that every adult male in the village has. Zhou Lang didn't think it was anything to be proud of at first, but when his sister wowed him like this twice, he felt a sense of pride from the bottom of his heart and puffed out his chest and said: "
of course!"
Friday Lang and Saturday Lang said: "We will have it when we grow up."
Man Bao asked: "Then do I have it?"
Friday Lang and Saturday Lang turned to look at Thursday Lang, who scratched his head and said, "I've never heard of girls."
Friday Lang and Saturday Lang thought about it seriously and nodded, "I don't think the eldest sister has any."
Man Bao pursed his lips, "Why aren't there girls?"
The three brothers of the Zhou family spread their hands. They didn't set this rule. How did they know?
But this was not the time to discuss this. When everyone reached the foot of the mountain, they started looking for dry firewood.
Although it was winter, there was a lot of green in the mountains. Zhou Lang picked up a piece of green grass and asked Manbao, "Do you want it?"
Man Bao knew that he was teasing her, so she snorted at him and walked in while holding on to the tree.
Keke also carefully scanned the surroundings to ensure that he did not miss any creatures that might bring them points.
This kind of mountain is considered a barren mountain. The trees in the mountain are messy and there are many thorny plants. They don't go to the lusher places. They basically only pick up places with sparser trees and easier mountain roads.
Seeing dry branches scattered on the ground, Wu Lang and the others would lazily pick them up and tie them up. Man Bao finally found the fun and started looking around for firewood. Once he found it, he dragged it to his brothers. He was so happy.
.
The three brothers of the Zhou family couldn't understand her happiness at all. As they dragged the firewood inside, they muttered: "If you don't want to stay in such a warm house at home, you have to come to the mountains to enjoy the breeze. Now there are no flowers and no results. What's the fun?"
Keke had found an endangered plant. Manbao followed his instructions and ran over to dig. Hearing this, he raised his head and said, "Fourth brother, this is your mountain. Why don't you come and take a look?"
"You can't see it, isn't it here?" Zhou Lang said: "It can't run away."
"Then you have to come and take a look and think about what you can do with this mountain in the future."
Zhou Lang looked disgusted, "What can you do if this mountain is so far away from home? Just leave it alone. If you are going to get married in the future, you can come to this mountain and choose one or two affordable trees to give you as a dowry.
."
Wu Lang looked at these crooked trees and said with disdain: "Pull them down, these are all miscellaneous trees. How can they be used as dowries for Man Bao? Dad has already planted several good trees in his mountains. Wait.
Man Bao can be chopped off as soon as he says we are kissing him."
The mountain of Lao Zhoutou is right next to the village, and even the mountains of Zhou Dalang and Zhou Erlang are not far away. Man Bao is very familiar with them because he goes there often.
Unlike Zhoulang's mountain, which is covered with weeds and trees, the mountain in Laozhoutou is much better managed.
He cleared out the wasteland at the foot of the mountain to grow hemp, and planted many trees in the flat areas on the mountain. Last year, when the Bai family was building a house, they sold a few trees and replanted them.
This year all the remaining mature trees were cut down for house construction, and Lao Zhoutou is planning to buy some more saplings and plant them in the spring.
He felt that he could live for a long time. Ten or twenty years would be enough time for the trees to grow into useful materials. When the time comes, whether his grandchildren want to build houses or their granddaughters get married, they can cut another one from his mountain.
Batch.
Zhou Dalang and his family also operate their mountains in this way. It can be said that almost every household in the village does this. The Koufentian is just a place where they plant trees and hemp.
Zhou Zuilang was an exception, because when the division was first carried out, there were many bamboos on his mountain, so he simply planted more bamboos. The bamboos he needed for bamboo weaving basically came from his own mountain.
Therefore, the tree that Zhou Dalang planted for Er Tou and Er Ya was not on his own mountain, but on the mountains of Zhou Dalang and Zhou Dalang.
There are many cases in the village of planting trees for children on brothers' mountains. Basically, as long as the brothers don't fall out, there won't be any disputes.
Zhou Lang himself had this plan, "My mountain is too far away from home. I have already planned it. When my wife is pregnant with the child, I will tell my third brother to plant all the trees for the child on his mountain."
."
Wu Lang looked at him with disdain, "Fourth brother, first you have to find a wife."
Zhou Lang bared his teeth at him, "Just wait, you'll find her soon. And if I can't find her, you won't be able to get a wife."
