Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

The Qin family doesn't have any land, it should be said that there is no land that can be cultivated.

As one of the punishments for the exiles, land reclamation was one of the important reform-through-labor policies. The Qin family was also allocated three large pieces of wasteland, in addition to a mountain.

It sounded very rich, and the court treated the exiles fairly well, but after seeing the three wastelands, Li Baolu understood that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

The wasteland is a veritable wasteland. It has never been reclaimed. There are whole patches of weeds taller than her and densely distributed shrubs. drive out...

Li Baolu just thought about the amount of labor and felt that her eyes were dark, and Qin Xinfang smiled and said to the two children: "This land is our family's, and it can be passed on to future generations, but if we leave the sin village Shancun may be pardoned, and the land will be taken back by the government. Regardless of whether we open up wasteland or not, we have to pay taxes on these three lands every year, so we have paid taxes for nothing in the past five years. It's a waste, let's open up the land to grow food!"

Gu Jingyun looked at his uncle quietly, and wanted to ask: Do you know how to farm?

But he knew that his uncle was Xiang Gong's intention of dancing swords, so even if they didn't know how to plant this land, they had to grow it.

Only Li Baolu was still dying, and tremblingly raised her small hand to suggest, "Uncle, we can open up wasteland near our home, there is not much grass there." The key is that there are no shrubs!

Qin Xinfang shook her head and said: "The place to open up wasteland is restricted. You can only open up other places when you have finished the wasteland under your own name. What's more, the land near our home is homestead and cannot be used to grow crops."

Li Baolu was a little disappointed, and she was still trying her best to reduce the workload, so Gu Jingyun poked her with his finger and said, "Don't think about it, uncle will never change his mind, let's just think about it honestly. Open up the wasteland."

Li Baolu stared wide-eyed at the arms and legs of the two of them, and asked, "Is it just the two of us? We can't dig out that bush."

Gu Jingyun looked at his uncle, Qin Xinfang stroked his short beard and smiled, "Of course my uncle will help you, don't worry!"

As a result, the two children were each stuffed with a sickle to mow the grass.

Leaving aside Li Baolu, Gu Jingyun is delicate and frail. The heaviest job he has done since he grew up was carrying the wash water. As soon as he got the sickle in his hand, he was stunned and didn't know how to use it.

Li Baolu is better than him. When she was a volunteer teacher, she not only watched the villagers use various agricultural tools in the field, but she also tried it herself, so she took the lead in squatting on the ground and mowing the grass carefully.

There is no way, the person is too small, not strong enough, and there are many gravels on the ground, what should I do if the knife slips and hurts my hand?

Her grandfather is gone, and there is no good doctor to be found in this town. Not only is she careful, but she keeps reminding Gu Jingyun, "Slow down, don't hurt your hands, or you won't be able to write."

Gu Jingyun frowned and pondered for a while before he learned how to use a scythe, but he was not as preoccupied as Li Baolu, and his speed was faster.

But there is no limit to how fast the two children can do farm work for the first time. After half an hour, the two of them only walked about three meters forward.

And their daily working time is half an hour.

Both of them have a strong sense of time. Seeing the sun shyly and timidly climbing from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, they put away their sickles and wanted to go home.

Qin Xinfang was also sweating profusely. It took half an hour for him to cut down two bushes, which seemed a little short...

The family of three returned home sweating profusely. On the way, they met several villagers who had gone out to work in the fields. They all stared at the three of them with wide eyes.

Qin Xinfang had a thick skin, and greeted them with a smile while carrying a hoe. The villagers all nodded with a stiff face, but after they walked past, they looked up at the sun in the sky.

Well, it is indeed the east, the sun is not coming from the west today!

The family of three took a fighting bath when they got home, and then had breakfast, and then went to class honestly.

It was the first time for such a large amount of exercise in the morning. Both children ate half a bowl of rice at noon, and slept very soundly during their nap.

Seeing this, He Zipei regretted, "If I knew it earlier, I should have taken Jing Yun to open up wasteland. You see, you eat more, sleep more, and your body is active again. As the days go by, your body will definitely get better."

"It's not too late now," Qin Xinfang shook her hand and said, "I did some exercise today. Although I feel tired, my energy is good, and I feel a lot more comfortable in my shoulders and neck. According to me, you should also exercise more. , I don’t need you to do the work in the field, you can dance the five-animal show with Jing Yun Baolu every morning, and you can do some exercise before going to bed at night, and it will be almost the same if you persist, there will always be miraculous results.”

Qin Xinfang said with regret at this point: "Brother Li reminded me earlier, it's just that our family members are always suffering from serious and minor illnesses..."

Li Bo and Qin Xinfang have a good personal relationship, and they have been advised to exercise properly for a long time, but Qin Wenyin has difficulty getting out of bed, let alone exercising, and a blow to the wind is a serious illness, and all she feels is sweating when she moves.

And He Zipei's education since he was a child was mainly about chastity and tranquility, so it's not easy to dance five animals.

It was because Qin Xinfang was a little discouraged and didn't want to move, but now seeing Jing Yun, who was gradually becoming more energetic, and Bao Lu, who seemed to have endless energy every day, his heart couldn't help but agitated, and he felt a few years younger.

Qin Xinfang's idea of ​​taking care of her body will naturally be carried out. Even if He Zipei was a little resistant at first, she was taught by her husband, and the two children beside her danced very vigorously, especially Baolu, who sometimes felt ashamed when she saw her When he was too unwilling to move, he jumped up in front of her like a tiger and gave her a "owwow", which made her heart melt.

He Zipei didn't think these movements were indecent either, and followed Baolu and jumped up in motion or in silence!

Qin Wenyin leaned on the window to look, with a smile in her mouth and eyes, propped up her body and walked around the room a few times, until she broke out in sweat before giving up. Everyone worked so hard, she couldn't be too slow.

The villagers in Sin Village felt that the Qin family became excited as if they had taken a elixir. Every day when they went to the field with their hoes on their shoulders, Qin Xinfang came back from the field with two children.

You wake up so early every day but only do half an hour of farm work, it's a waste of time, you know?

It's been three days, and less than one-third of the weeds in that wasteland have been mowed. After you mow the weeds, the latter will grow again, do you know?

The three members of Qin Xinfang's family didn't realize this serious problem. Zhang Liulang couldn't see it. He brought them up one day when he took them to the mountain to check the trap dug the day before. He looked at Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu with contempt, and said: : "Do you know that you are doing white work?"

Gu Jingyun looked calm, as if everything was within his expectations, but Li Baolu scratched his head in trouble and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Zhang Liulang looked at her speechlessly and said, "Can't you work on such a small piece of land in one day? You only work for half an hour a day. What year and month can you open the land?"

"As long as it blooms before spring next year," Li Baolu said confidently, "Anyway, it's almost autumn this year, and even if it blooms, it won't be able to be planted."

Zhang Liulang: "... Huh, people who study are just like that. The land needs to be fertilized, not to mention that the land is more than an acre when it reaches the sky. It takes half a day for my family to take care of it. Look at your family. How many days has it been?"

Li Baolu said confidently: "We still have to study, how could we put it in the field all day?"

"After mowing the grass, you have to cut down the shrubs, dig up the roots of the shrubs, pick up all the stones in the ground, and then hoe the ground to loosen the soil and remove the weed roots. It will take half a month for Jiaguang to mow the grass." Zhang Liulang counted for a long time and couldn't figure it out, but said with certainty: "Then you may not be able to cultivate this land well in the spring!"

Because mowing is the simplest and fastest of all procedures, it only took two days for their family to mow all the weeds in the 18 acres of wasteland under their name. For the sake of children, if it is an adult, the speed will only be faster.

They do farm work, no matter how big the sun is outside, they are still next to each other. Unlike the Qin family, they only work for half an hour before sunrise every day.

But their reasons are sufficient and lofty, they want to study!

But can you do something serious in the afternoon too?

In the past few days, they spent half of their time playing with them in the afternoon. From Zhang Liulang's point of view, this was just not doing business and not working hard enough.

"We are combining work and rest." The Qin family didn't point to that mu of land to support them. Of course, she didn't dare to say this hateful word.

Gu Jingyun was very quiet all the time, and when he got home, he went to the study to look for books on farming.

Li Baolu followed behind him and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Find a way to weed quickly," Gu Jingyun said with a sullen face, "I don't want my few days of effort to be wasted like this."

Although Zhang Liulang's main tone was to ridicule them for being lazy, it was true that the grass would grow back after it was mowed. Unless they could quickly weed and proceed to the next step of land reclamation, they could only linger in the mowing process.

Li Baolu scratched her head and asked, "Will this be written in the book?"

"I don't know, look for it." Gu Jingyun found a few agricultural books and sat on the floor to read them.

Li Baolu could only look for it with him. She already knew a lot of traditional characters, so her reading speed was not too slow, so she found a book and flipped through it, while quickly recalling the knowledge of her previous life.

Fastest way to weed?

Of course it is a herbicide, but there are no pesticides in this era, and a little further back, it is mowing, weeding, and setting fire...

Li Baolu's eyes lit up, and at the same time, Gu Jingyun paused, and pointed to the words on the page: "Use fire!"

This is the method of the ancients to open up wasteland, and it has many disadvantages. It is still used by some people, but less.

At least the villagers of Sin Village have never used this method.
