MTL - Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World-Chapter 25 method

   The Qin family did not have any land, so it should be said that there was no land that could be cultivated.

   As one of the punishments for exiles, wasteland reclamation is one of the important reform-through-labor policies.

   sounds very rich, and the court treats exiles well, but after seeing the three wastelands, Li Baolu understands that there is no free lunch in the world.

The wasteland is a veritable wasteland. It has never been cultivated. The whole field is taller than her with weeds and densely distributed shrubs. In this sinful village, which has no machines or even cattle, I want to turn the wasteland into a wasteland. out...

Li Baolu just thought about the amount of labor before her eyes darkened, and Qin Xinfang said to the two children with a smile: "This land is our family's, and it can be passed on to future generations, but if we leave Sin Village, where to go? If the good village is pardoned, the land will be taken back by the yamen. Regardless of whether we open up wasteland or not, we have to pay taxes on these three pieces of land every year, so we have paid taxes in vain for the past five years, in order to prevent our money from being reused. Waste, let's open up the land and plant 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 Xianggong and he didn't want to dance the sword, so even if they didn't know how to plant it, they had to open it.

  Li Baolu was the only one who was still struggling. She raised her little hand tremblingly and suggested, "Uncle, we can open up wasteland near our house. There are not many grasses there." The key is that there are no shrubs!

   Qin Xinfang shook his head and said, "The wasteland is restricted. Only after the wasteland under our own name can be opened, other places can be opened. Besides, the land near our house is a homestead and cannot be opened to grow crops."

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

  Li Baolu widened her eyes and looked at their little arms and legs, 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 cut the grass.

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

  Li Baolu is stronger than him. When she was a volunteer teacher, she not only saw villagers go down to the ground and use various farm tools, but she also tried it herself, so she was the first to squat on the ground and carefully mow the grass.

  I can't help it, the person is too small, the strength is not strong enough, and there are many gravel 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 in this eight townships. Not only is she careful, but she also 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 to use the sickle, but he didn't look ahead like Li Baolu, but he was faster.

   But the two children are limited in how fast they 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 labor time is half an hour.

  The two have a strong sense of time. Seeing the sun shyly and timidly climbed from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, they took their sickles and went home.

  Qin Xinfang also came out sweating profusely. It took him half an hour to cut off two bushes, which seemed a little bit...

  The family of three went home sweating profusely. On the way, they met several villagers who went out to the ground. They all stared at the three of them with wide-eyed eyes.

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

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

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

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

  He Zipei repented when he saw it, "If I knew earlier, I should have taken Jingyun to open up the wasteland earlier. You see, you have eaten a lot, slept enough, and your body is warm again. As time goes by, your body will definitely get better."

"It's not too late," Qin Xinfang shook her hand and said, "I did some exercise today. Although I feel tired, my spirit is good, and my shoulders and neck feel a lot more comfortable. According to me, you should also exercise more. , I don’t need you to do the work in the fields, you can dance with Jing Yun Baolu in the Five Animals Show every morning, and do some exercise before going to bed at night.

   Qin Xinfang said with regret: "Brother Li reminded me earlier, but our family is always suffering from major and minor illnesses..."

   Li Bo and Qin Xinfang have a good personal relationship, and they have long been advised to exercise properly, but Qin Wenyin can't even get out of bed, let alone exercise. A blow in the wind is a serious illness.

   And He Zipei was educated from a young age to focus on chastity and tranquility, so naturally he was not good at dancing the five animals.

   Qin Xinfang was a little discouraged and didn't want to move, but now looking at Jing Yun, who was becoming more energetic, and Bao Lu, who seemed to be running out of energy every day, he couldn't help but feel agitated, feeling a few years younger.

Qin Xinfang's thought of taking care of her body will naturally continue, even if He Zipei resisted at first, and was taught by her husband, and the two children beside her danced very vigorously, especially Bao Lu, sometimes she was ashamed to see her When she didn't want to move, she learned how to jump up in front of her like a tiger and gave her an "Ouch", which melted her heart.

  He Zipei doesn't think these actions are indecent anymore, so he jumps up with Baolu in motion or stillness!

  Qin Wenyin looked at the window with a smile on her lips. She supported her body and walked around the room a few times. She didn't stop until she was sweating. Everyone worked so hard, so she couldn't hold back too much.

  The villagers of Sin Village felt that the Qin family became excited as if they had eaten the elixir. Every day when they carried their hoes to the ground, Qin Xinfang came back from the field with two children.

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

   It’s been three days, and the weeds in that wasteland have only been cut by less than one-third. After you cut the weeds again, they will grow back, you know?

Qin Xinfang's family of three did not realize this serious problem, but Zhang Liulang couldn't see it. He brought them up one day when he took them to the mountains to check the traps 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's face was calm, as if everything was within his expectations, but Li Baolu scratched his head in confusion and asked, "What should I do then?"

   Zhang Liulang looked at her speechlessly and said, "Can't you finish such a small piece of land in one day? Only half an hour a day, what year and month can you open the land?"

   "As long as it is planted before the spring of next year," Li Baolu said confidently: "Anyway, it is almost autumn this year, and even if it is planted, it will not be able to be planted."

Zhang Liulang: "...Hmph, that's not the case for those who study, the land needs to be fertilized when it is opened, not to mention that the piece of land is more than one mu when it reaches the sky, so I'll take half a day to deal with it. A few days?"

  Li Baolu said confidently: "We still have to study, how can we leave it in the ground all day?"

"After mowing the grass, you have to cut down the shrubs, dig up the roots of the shrubs, and pick up all the stones in the ground, and then **** the ground to loosen the soil and remove the roots of the weeds, and when you're done, you have to **** deeply for fertilizer. It will take half a month for Jiaguang to cut the grass," Zhang Liulang couldn't figure it out with his fingers crossed for a long time, but said with certainty, "Then you may not be able to open this land well in the beginning of spring!"

Because mowing is the easiest and fastest of all procedures, when their family opened up wasteland, it only took two days to mow all the weeds in the 18 acres of wasteland under their name. This is because most of their families are 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 next to each other. Nowhere like the Qin family, they only work for half an hour before sunrise every day.

   But the reason is still sufficient and high, and they want to study!

   But can you do something serious in the afternoon too?

   They spend half of their time playing with them these past few afternoons. In Zhang Liulang's opinion, this is not serious enough and not diligent enough.

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

  Gu Jingyun has always been very quiet. When he got home, he went into the study to look for books on farming.

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

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

  Although Zhang Liulang's main tone is to ridicule them for being lazy, but it is true that the grass will grow after cutting the grass. Unless they can quickly weed and then proceed to the next step of land reclamation, they can only linger in the part of cutting the grass.

  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 ground to read.

  Li Baolu could only accompany him to find it. 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?

  That is of course herbicides, but there are no pesticides in this era, and a little further ahead, that is mowing, weeding, setting fires...

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

   This is the method of the ancients to open up wasteland. It has many drawbacks. Some people still use it now, but it has become less and less.

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