Chapter 15
Forget it, if you are tired, you will be tired, but she knows that sweet potatoes planted by the river must not taste good.Besides, there are long-term herds and grass-mowers over there. If the animals eat them, I should feel distressed.

"Third aunt, my third master said that there is a lot of wasteland in the west, and he asked me to go there to open up wasteland. I'm afraid it won't taste good if the sweet potatoes are planted by the water."

"That's right. But it's quite far from your home. In the summer, I go there to herd sheep, and I'm afraid it will be ruined."

Chen Miao thought for a while, "Third Aunt, do you think it's okay for me to plant sweet potatoes at the foot of the mountain?"

"It's all the same. Turn around and tell the children that those are the sweet potatoes you planted, Behoho."

When I got home, it was almost dark, and I fed the animals enough, thinking that if I had money, I would buy two lambs, but I had no money.

Chen Jiang secretly gave himself five copper coins, this kid is really good, enough to buy chickens.

It's better to stop, and wait until after autumn to sell some food.In fact, I can exchange money now, mainly because I have no courage to go out.

The next day, I went up the mountain with a pickaxe and a hoe, and there were two flat areas where I planted sweet potatoes.In the future, pumpkins will also be planted here.

There are many rocks on the mountain, and they are all thrown aside. The sweet potato ridges can be made, just to draw out the high ridges.

It took a whole day to get such a piece of land.The other piece of land simply grows sorghum.

Chen Jiang came over at night. "Has the land at home been planted?"

"Well, third sister, mother is not happy. The three sisters-in-law are struggling to work, and they all say that they do more and others do less. I heard mother and father say that the three of them should move out.

The land in the family is divided according to the head, and they are allowed to go out and build houses. "

"Can you agree?"

"Why don't you want to? My sister-in-law has long wanted to separate. It's just that I hate how little money my mother gives me."

Chen Miao didn't say anything, but she knew that the old people in this kind of family would not want to separate their families. The main reason is that there are still younger ones who have not yet married.

It is estimated that talking about separation now is just a moment of anger.

Let Chen Jiang eat a bowl of sweet porridge, and she eats ordinary porridge mixed with wild vegetables.

The next day, instead of going up the mountain, I planted cotton seedlings at home.There is a well in the yard, and it didn't take much effort, and the cotton seeds on the half acre of land I bought happened to be planted.

After squatting for a whole day, Chen Miao was so tired that she almost fell asleep while taking a bath at night.

She knew that she was too tired for a while, and she didn't rest at all.

He didn't pack anything, and fell asleep in bed.

Woke up hungry the next day.After brushing your teeth, eat first, and then start feeding the little donkey when you are full.

I originally wanted to go to the mountain to clean up the land today, but I was really too lazy to move.Forget it, I'm at home today.

After resting for a day, I got up early the next day to water the cotton.More than 20 pumpkin seedlings were dug up the mountain.It was not planted in one place, but it was planted at the right place anyway.

When I got to the second field, I really didn't want to work. I sat on the edge of the field, ate a chicken leg, drank a bottle of juice, and then got up to work.

I didn't get home until dark, and tomorrow I'm going to Shen Sanye's house to exchange some sorghum seeds.I have to go to the village head's house to ask when the sweet potatoes can be planted.

I had a nightmare all night, either being chased by a dog or carrying a mountain.Anyway, when I opened my eyes the next morning, I didn't wake up as usual.

Hearing the knock on the door, he had to agree to get up.

"Third sister, our family is really separated."

Chen Miao was stunned for a moment, "Is it really divided?"

"Yeah, last night it was divided, and there was a lot of trouble." Chen Jiang followed Chen Miao into the house, watching the third sister want to light the fire, "I'll come."

"I just got up, and I will cook for the donkey first."

She went to the back of the house to brush her teeth and wash her face, and she cooked while Chen Jiang went to feed the donkey.

"Third sister, my sister-in-law and my mother almost fought last night, and finally my father beat up my elder brother and them."

"why."

"Mother said to ask them to give one yuan a year for the elderly, but sister-in-law and the others are not willing."

A dollar is indeed a lot. "How much land will you give them?"

"A family with three acres of land."

Chen Miao thought that if she didn't want to.There is still a house to be built, and the family has three children to support, so it costs a lot of money to build a house.

"What did you say in the end?"

"It's absolutely impossible not to give it. In the end, I said to give two hundred copper coins a year,"

One ocean is equivalent to three hundred copper coins, which is actually not too much.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, they approached the village chief and said they want to build a house?"

"Yeah, but I also think that the eldest brother and the others should not be together, and the sister-in-law and the others always fight."

"It doesn't matter what they do, after the separation, they will live their own lives."

"Well. Now the house is clean."

Telling Chen Jiang to eat another bowl of porridge, the siblings watered the cotton.

"I'll go to the village chief's house to ask about the sweet potato seedlings."

"Third sister, eldest brother and the others must still be at the village chief's house."

Chen Miao didn't care, "Then I'll go to Mr. Shen's house first and borrow some sorghum seeds."

"Third sister, has the land on the mountain opened?"

"That's right. The sweet potato ridges have also been made."

Chen Jiang followed, and with him leading the way, he saved himself having to inquire.Third Grandma Shen was at home, "Third Grandma, can you lend me some sorghum seeds?"

"Chen Miao, your third master told me, what can I borrow, is it enough to give you two tassels?"

"Enough, enough. Mistress, I will pay you back when I harvest the sorghum after autumn."

The old lady did not refuse, "Chen Miao, my family has white sorghum and sticky sorghum, what do you want?"

"Third Mistress, can two kinds of sorghum be planted together?"

"It's best not to plant them together, otherwise the flowers will string together. Then sticky sorghum will not be sticky sorghum, and white sorghum will not be white sorghum."

"Third wife, I only have a piece of land, you can stick sorghum for me."

"Yezhong. Sticky sorghum can be eaten anyway."

He took two sorghum ears to the village chief's house.It really didn't make Chen Jiang right.The elder brothers of their family are still not here.

"Fifth Aunt, when will the sweet potato seedlings be planted?"

"Chen Miao is here, the day after tomorrow. The three I asked are all from the day after tomorrow, one of them has white-fleshed sweet potatoes, and the other four of us are all red-fleshed sweet potatoes."

"Thank you Fifth Aunt, I'll come over the day after tomorrow."

"Come over after breakfast, and I'll take you to the other three houses to get them. One family will give you fifty at most, and I'll give you one hundred."

"I know Fifth Aunt."

The siblings walked back, "Sister San, I'll go home and have a look."

When Chen Miao returned home, he packed up the farm tools and went up the mountain. Sooner or later it was his own work.

The sorghum can be planted more densely. Two ears of sorghum are piled up and soaked in wooden barrels. She uses a big pick to hook the ridges.This work is tiring.It can't be too shallow, you can only use a big pick to do it.

Work for a while, rest for a while.After drawing ten ridges, start watering, and then go to the ridges. After the water seeps down, they will be planted, and they will be covered with soil.

After lunch, I took a break for half an hour and continued.

In the end, there is still some land left. I have soybeans, so I can plant some.That is, there are three ridges of soybeans, as much as you can.

 Thank you for your support!
