Liu Pan'er nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, sister-in-law, I took it for granted before. When the land reclamation is over, you can continue to reclaim the land with your children and plant the sweet potatoes we brought back. Maybe there will be an unexpected harvest.

As for me, I will look around to see if there is any soil suitable for burning bricks. If there is, we will burn bricks and build a house, and build you a big house with one room for each person."

Ms. Liu was stunned and said, "Third brother and sister, can you still bake bricks?"

Liu Pan'er shook his head and smiled, "No, but I know how to choose soil after seeing others burn it. Try burning it, what if it works? We can live in a brick house."

Ms. Liu smiled brightly and said, "Okay, third brother and sister, you are smart. If you think it can work, just go and try it. If bricks and tiles are made from bricks, everyone in our village will have to buy them from us."

Li Rong praised, "Mom, don't worry, I will take care of Nan and Xiaobao."

Liu Pan'er smiled and touched her daughter's head, "Ah Rong is great. Thanks to you taking care of my younger brothers and sisters, I can work safely outside. Dabao is the same, and they have become my little helpers. Nan and Xiaobao are also very good.

Be clever, Ali Afang, you can do it too. When the work is over, I will prepare delicious food for you."

"Thank you, mother."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Although Liu Pan'er and Mrs. Liu wanted to go hunting and improve food for their children, they had no time because they were clearing wasteland every day.

Fortunately, Li Dabao and the children in the village go fishing every day. What they eat most now is fish soup and grilled fish.

Although it is not very tasty, it is also a meat dish that no one can dislike.

The people of Lijia Village are in full swing to open up wasteland, and no one dares to be lazy, for fear that Village Chief Li will give up his job.

Li Dashan is good at farming. The locals can get eight kilos of rice seeds per acre. But when he saw that more fields could be opened in the village, he decided to plant six kilos of rice seeds per acre.

Being sparse will make it easier to manage in the future, which was also approved by Village Chief Li.

Going out early and coming back late every day makes people very tired, and so is the old scalper.

Li Dabao cuts the tenderest and best grass to feed the old scalpers every day. Sometimes Liu Paner will secretly break a dozen quail eggs for the old scalpers to eat.

This can replenish physical strength and prevent the old scalper from becoming too thin due to overwork.

Although Village Chief Li and Zhou Cuihua tried their best to save food, all the food was eaten after twelve days. They cultivated a total of 173 acres of land. All the rice seeds they bought were used up.

Li Dashan once worked for the locals when he was fleeing famine in the south, so he knew how to plant terraces.

Looking at the more than 100 acres of land on the hillside, Village Chief Li's eyes turned red, "This is our land! This is our land!"

Li Dashan also choked with sobs and nodded, "As long as these lands can grow food, we can completely settle here."

Liu Pan'er was so tired that she sat on the ridge of the field and looked at the terraced fields cultivated on the slopes of the four surrounding mountains. According to her calculations, it amounted to one hundred and seventy-three acres.

She originally thought that one hundred and fifty acres would be a lot, but she didn't expect that the villagers in Lijia Village were so eager to stay.

"Uncle Village Chief, don't be sad. I think we should allocate the fields to individuals now and let specific people manage them. Otherwise, many people will not obey the arrangements and will cheat and cheat, and we will not be able to grow food well."

Li Dashan deeply agreed and nodded in agreement, "Yes, the people in our village are not very capable, but they have a lot of ideas. Divide the land as soon as possible, and in the future, we can do the work of pulling weeds, killing insects, irrigation, etc.

.Village chief, you don’t have to worry so much, lest you make yourself so angry that you can’t sleep or eat.”

Village Chief Li nodded, "Okay, we will divide the land today. When the time comes to harvest the grain, we will harvest it together. Whoever has the highest grain yield per acre will be rewarded with fifty kilograms of grain. If there are benefits, everyone is probably willing. There is no male labor force in the family.

, I divided the areas below the terraces, where there are male laborers, into the higher areas.

There are a total of 173 acres of land in our village. There are a total of 103 people in our village. Among them, there are 78 people over the age of eight. Plus three old scalpers, that is 81 adults.

, the remaining twenty-two people under the age of eight are divided into half of the adults’ land. Oh, how much land does this adult need to be divided into? Dashan, can you do the math?”

Li Dashan scratched his head, "It's so complicated, how can I figure it out?"

Village Chief Li looked at Liu Pan'er and said, "From Yuan Qing's family, do you know how to count?"

Of course Liu Pan'er knew how to calculate, "Yes, there are twenty-two children under the age of eight, and each child gets half of an adult's share. That counts as eleven adults. Adding the previous eighty-one, this is ninety-two. The total

One hundred and seventy-three acres of land, divided by ninety-two, etc., I can’t do the math verbally, I have to make a calculation!”

Liu Pan'er picked up a branch and started to list the division equations on the ground. After a while, the results were calculated.

"Village chief, each of the adults has eight acres, and each child has nine acres. In the end, there are still seven and a half acres left, so don't divide them. It is considered the land of our clan. The harvest is used to build a clan school house and support the establishment of a school. I

You can teach for two hours a day for free, but you can’t ask me to pay for pens, ink, paper and inkstones!”

The head of Village Li was overjoyed and said, "Okay, okay, Yuan Qing's family, your idea is very good. If we want to get ahead in Li Village, we need someone to study. If you can take the exam for fame, then take the exam; if you can't take the exam, if you can read and arithmetic, you can't do it."

Very good. Come on, let’s go back and divide the land now.”

During this period, everyone was very tired. Now that I have some free time, I can sit but never stand. I can lie down but never sit.

We don’t have to eat together today, and Zhou Cuihua doesn’t have to organize everyone to cook, so she is very free.

Village Chief Li stood on a high place and said, "Let the heads of each family come over, and we will divide the land now."

When the lazy people heard that the land was being divided, they were stunned and suddenly became energetic. "Village Chief, didn't you say that the land will be divided after this season's harvest?"

Village Chief Li was not polite, "Many people have small thoughts and eat from a big pot without working hard. They always think that if everyone works together, it will be fine if you do less. Everyone thinks like this, can the crops in the field grow?"

Now that the land is being divided, each family will return the same amount of grain to the village as it uses. The grain borrowed for food will also be divided according to one acre of land, and each family will turn it over.

In other words, if you plant your own land well and harvest more food, you will get more in the end. If you don’t farm your land well and don’t cherish your own food, the more food you will have left.

few."

Village Chief Li said it very straightforwardly, and everyone understood it immediately!

"Village Chief, let's divide the land. Although my family doesn't cheat and cheat, it doesn't mean that other families don't." Li Er was not good at anything else, but he could say sweet words, which was awesome.

"That's right, our family doesn't do cheating, village chief, don't say that."
