The second iron and the fourth iron and the fifth iron came back with many birdies.
Yan Laoer identified it as a quail.
Huanhuanxi took the children to remove the hair and internal organs, washed them and roasted them.
As soon as the Yan family's condiments came out, the children stood by and kept swallowing their saliva.
The little quail had very little meat, and everyone was given only a sliver of it. But the children were all so happy that they kept smashing it with their little mouths, chewing and swallowing even the tiny bones.
I wanted to eat four irons and five irons again, but I was sensible enough not to bother with the second irons anymore.
The family's land was divided, and their family was allocated fifty-five acres of land.
Even though the Luo family has many males, so much land is still a heavy burden.
What's more, this land is different, it's a wasteland.
This is true for the Luo family, let alone the Yan family.
The Yan family is currently discussing how to open up wasteland.
"First clear out the ground and dig deep." Yan Laoer already had an idea in his mind and said, "When the ground is finished, I will dig some river mud to fertilize the land."
Yan Huaiwen said: "Just sprinkle some plant ash. Don't make any big moves on the river side for now."
Seeing that his brother didn't understand, he explained: "We are not familiar with this section of the river. The water level has dropped during the weather. When the weather turns colder, we don't know where the water level will rise again. We will observe it for a winter and then make plans."
"
Yan Laoer followed the good example and said: "Simply gather all the weeds in the fields and burn them to fertilize the land directly.
By the way, brother, we don’t have all the farm tools in hand, why don’t we go to Huju City to remind us, especially the plow, our three treasures are waiting to be used.”
Yan Laoer felt very aggrieved for Sanbao. As a capable cow, he didn't even have the equipment.
It affects our baby's performance too much.
Yan Huaiwen is now immune to the title Three Treasures.
"Tomorrow Man Shan and I will go to the Yamen on errands and we will ask a few questions. If we can't make it in time, ask Qi Wu if he can make a wooden plow first."
"Okay, I'll ask later." Yan Laoer said.
"How about visiting the quarry and brick factory today?" Yan Huaiwen asked.
Yan Laoer negotiated the price of green and red bricks and the price of waste stones, and then told Lao Yan that he wanted to find professionals to build a house.
Yan Huaiwen had no objection and nodded: "Yes, if we find someone to do it, we can concentrate on reclaiming wasteland."
He thought for a while, took out the 20 taels of silver notes, and said, "God bless, if you don't have enough money, you can exchange this banknote for expenses."
"Brother, it's enough. If it's not enough, I'll ask you again." Yan Laoer refused.
Yan Huaiwen shook his head and said: "Brother, I have to go to the yamen to work. You have to take care of everything at home. Don't just think about saving money and finding ways to increase revenue. Don't be self-conscious and cut down on expenditure.
If you’re not used to the work in the fields, don’t force yourself, and the same goes for asking for help.”
Yan Laoer said hurriedly: "There is no work. I just pick out the stones and weed them. There are three treasures in plowing the land. Once the seeds are planted, it will be easy. Then I will be at home watching them build a house."
Yan Huaiwen felt more relieved when he saw that his brother had a plan in mind.
"We have made an agreement with people in advance that our family cannot take care of the food. Let them bring their own rations. We can make more concessions in terms of wages." He remembered that his younger brother and sister were pregnant, and he was afraid that they would not be able to provide food.
Yan Laoer said quickly: "Brother, building a house is a big deal. The work is hard and tiring. The family is responsible for the food. I'm sure they will be happy if we give them more money. I'm afraid they won't be able to part with good food. There will be no oil in their stomachs and they will work instead."
Procrastination, I thought, we might as well find an aunt who is good at the stove to help our family cook, what do you think?"
"Well, then I'll bother my brothers and sisters and ask the aunt I know well in the village if she can come and help me for a few days." Yan Huaiwen turned to Li Xuemei and said.
Li Xuemei responded: "I will find someone to ask tomorrow."
Things at home were sorted out, and Yan Huaiwen did not let go of his children and niece.
I asked them to hand in the homework assigned before, and then randomly checked the articles they had memorized before.
Yan Xiangheng is a player who has suffered long-term "torture", and his answers are fluent.
Yan Yu has a very good memory and can memorize many things by heart.
Only Da Ya neglected her homework and forgot most of what she had learned before, and was punished by her father to copy it several times.
Da Ya was punished and her face turned red with embarrassment.
Yan Yu sympathized with Sister Da Ya very much.
He leaned over and put his little hand into Sister Da Ya's hand.
Deliver silent power.
Yan Laoer felt that he was going to die.
Practice calligraphy, practice calligraphy, don’t forget to practice calligraphy even when you are busy with farming.
Now that his family is busy, he doesn't dare to think about what it will be like when Lao Yan is free.
"Brother, why not rent a house in Huju? It will be too hard for you to travel back and forth."
Yan Laoer secretly praised himself for being as clever as me, haha!
"It doesn't matter, the house will be busy only after the autumn harvest. There aren't many things to do now."
When Tianyou mentioned his trip to Huju, he remembered something.
"You should discuss with the village chief and village elders whether you want to divide the livestock in the village. It is not convenient to keep them mixed."
Lao Yan didn't say anything, Yan Laoer really didn't think of this.
The main reason is that no family in the village has ever had a conflict over the use of livestock.
Those mules and donkeys are being treated very well now. Someone comes to feed them when they see the sky. If they get some fresh green grass by the river, on the mountain, or in the forest, the villagers will give it to them.
"I'm afraid we'll have to wait a while. We're all busy clearing land now. These livestock matters are not a small matter. I'm afraid we won't be able to come up with any results after a day or two of discussion." Yan Laoer said.
"Just remember."
Yan Huaiwen finally stuffed the banknote over.
Yan Laoer reluctantly accepted it.
After doing the math, Lao Yan really doesn’t have much money left.
Making money is imminent.
…
Yan Huaiwen and Liang Manshan drove a donkey cart and left before dawn.
Yan Laoer and his family decided to start working on the land by the river.
The ground near the river has few rocks and many weeds.
He also deliberately brought Sambo and Maomao here.
If you eat Sanbao all the way, you can get rid of a lot of weeds.
Cats, ahem, can take a stroll nearby and pay homage to the wild ducks living in the reed beach.
The ten acres of land by the river are adjacent to Grandma Rong's five acres of land.
Yan Xiangheng and Daya worked hard, but when they looked up, they suddenly found that the aunt next door was hoeing and had crossed the boundary.
"Auntie, this is my family's land." Da Ya's face was red and there was sweat on her forehead.
Aunt Rong nodded with a smile, pointed at Li Xuemei, and then pointed at herself.
Da Ya looked confused.
Li Xuemei hurriedly said: "Da Ya, this is your Aunt Rong. She has some difficulty speaking."
When Da Ya heard this, she smiled sheepishly and called "Aunt Rong."
Grandma Rong smiled kindly, lowered her head and continued hoeing.
Yan Laoer hurriedly pulled aside his eldest nephew and niece, and of course his daughter.
He said to the three of them: "Mrs. Rong has been separated from her family. She is left alone and can't speak. She is really pitiful. Our family just needs someone to cook, so your aunt said that it is better to ask her first."
She was quite willing, and she didn't ask for a lot of wages. Your aunt said that when our Sambo pulls the plow, she can also help her plow the field. Hey! Who would have thought that this is a person who knows and appreciates gratitude.
Help us weed, and you won’t listen to anything you say.”
Yan Yu was calm, her father was able to trick his eldest brother and sister easily.
