Chapter 63 I will build a greenhouse tomorrow
When it came to business, everyone became serious, even the children consciously slowed down their movements.
"It's not bad to have 2.5 acres." Lu Changqing, who is good at farming, said while eating: "At home, we have ten acres of land, seven acres of tax, and we have to save seeds, which are harvested once a year, and the rest
It’s only a little over two acres, so I’ve tightened my belt and walked through it.
General Chu also said during the day that there are two crops a year here, and if we pay what we need, we can have a harvest of 5 acres of land a year, and there is no need to save seeds. This alone is much better than before."
"That's right." The old lady sighed softly and put down her chopsticks: "In the past, our family had a better life because of the kindness of the old man and the third child. Now it's just because of my poor background, but everything else is fine."
The others nodded, and the old man took a puff of dry cigarette, "That's the truth. But, what should we plant? Follow the people next to us and plant it together?"
"Let's go and have a look tomorrow." The old lady said with a smile: "Aren't we going to select seeds? Let's see what's available and we'll plant it. It's not a waste of time to think about it here."
The old man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he was going too far, so he nodded: "Okay, let's take a look tomorrow."
He took another puff of dry smoke, and as the smoke swirled and rose, he added: "Tomorrow, those uncles will definitely come over."
As he said that, he glanced at Lu Anran and continued: "When we were on the way, our family was a bit eye-catching, especially Thirteen.
Although no one knows who your master is, everyone has seen with their own eyes that your martial arts are so strong. I guess they are going to talk about it, most likely because of your position as the clan leader."
Everyone present widened their eyes, and even the young children were stunned.
No matter how young they are, they still know what the position of patriarch means.
"Sister Doudou, when you become the clan leader, can you let me go to school too?" Look, little Miss Lu is starting to make plans for herself.
Lu Anran smiled and ruffled Miss Lu's hair: "Who said that my sister is going to be the clan leader? Don't talk nonsense."
"Oh." Lu Xiaomei nodded, her low-octave voice obviously very disappointed.
Lu Anran sighed secretly, but did not care about her anymore. Lu Wenyi, who was next to him, pursed his lips and said: "Dad, this is impossible, Doudou is only eight years old, how can he know how to manage a tribe.
I think my uncle and the others want to throw this mess to Doudou, and they want to use Doudou to get rid of their slave status."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Chen and Yao looked at each other and saw the look of embarrassment in each other's eyes. Although what the third brother said was true, they still felt it was a bit harsh. After all, they also had such thoughts.
As for why, it’s naturally because of General Yan’s reward—spar!
"I know what you are thinking." The old man exhaled a puff of dry smoke and sighed deeply: "Originally, our family was all slaves who were stepped into the soil, not even as good as pigs and dogs.
Fortunately, Thirteen met General Yan by chance and received a reward. Maybe one day we can be freed from slavery.
However, let’s not hold out too much hope. After all, Thirteen and General Yan just met by chance, and the reward is enough.
We don’t have any hope. Even if we don’t get out of slavery in the future, we won’t be disappointed. Do what we should do, don’t provoke anyone, and as long as we don’t make mistakes, we can live a stable life.”
Hearing this, everyone present nodded in understanding.
The old man asked about Lu Wei and his wife again, and then waved his hand to signal the meeting to end.
Liu's sisters-in-law then got up to clean up, and the men continued to clean up the supplies. The children and the two elders sat in the main room of the big house, playing a small game of guessing riddles.
Lu Anran left the main room early. She went back to her main room, took out the potatoes from the space, cut out the buds piece by piece, and threw them into her basket.
When Mrs. Liu came back and was about to breastfeed Lu Qi, she saw Lu Anran sitting alone on the floor leather cutting something. She walked over and saw that it was a yellow round head, and she didn't know what it was.
She knelt down, picked up one and asked, "Doudou, what is this? What did you cut it for?"
"Mom, this is a potato." Lu Anran handed her a piece of cut bud, "Cut it for me. There are too many. I have to prepare for breeding tomorrow, so just cut the ones with eyes and bumps."
"Breeding? Can it be eaten?" After questioning it, she seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes widened: "You mean this is food?"
"Of course, otherwise what would I do if I cut it?" Lu Anran put the potato and the knife into her hand: "Hurry up, it will have to be wrapped in plant ash by then."
"Okay, I'll go breastfeed your brother first and put him to sleep." Ms. Liu put down the potatoes in her hands, patted the soil on her hands and went to breastfeed.
Lu Anran raised her eyes and smiled: "Mom, I have fed you, and my brother is asleep. Just go and see if he has rolled out of bed."
Ms. Liu was stunned for a moment. Looking at her bright smile, she suddenly smiled. This daughter was unexpectedly sensible.
So, after taking a look at Lu Qi to make sure that he would not fall down, Liu helped Lu Anran start processing the potatoes.
The speed of two people cannot be compared to that of one person, and as Liu is a good player in the field, his speed is naturally comparable.
When Lu Wenyi and his son came back later and saw the pile of potatoes in the main room, they were stunned at first, and then added them without asking anything.
"Dad, you and your uncle and the others should go buy some cows tomorrow. The land is too vast and we don't know how long it will take just by manpower." Lu Anran said while cutting.
Lu Wenyi has always been responsive to her daughter's requests. What's more, what she asked was for their sake, so she agreed: "Okay, tomorrow dad and your uncle will go and have a look."
"Remember to get a temporary permit to avoid being unable to enter the city."
"Dad knows."
"Second brother, third brother, ask the other cousins to go to the river tomorrow to collect some gravel and fine sand to fill the front and back yards. Otherwise, it will be a muddy mess when it rains. It will be too dirty to step back into the house.
."
Lu Ziqi raised his eyes and glanced at her. He didn't say anything, but nodded. But Lu Xun agreed readily: "Okay, I will finish it well. Then, sister, is there any reward?"
Hearing this, Lu Anran couldn't help rolling his eyes and said angrily: "There are a few peaches in my bedside table."
"Wuhu~" Lu Xun jumped up and ran excitedly into Lu Anran's house to look for Tao Zi.
Lu Anran was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued: "I'm going to build a greenhouse tomorrow. I'll hire some half-year-old children nearby to help, and I'll just prepare some food. Dad, Mom, what do you think?"
