Chapter 364

Aunt Zhou helped to spread the news, and there was an endless stream of people who came to the Li family to apply for the job. In addition to the local people in Li family village, a lot of strong laborers from several nearby villages also came, totaling more than 400 people.

The two uncles of the Liu family were invited to be supervisors, responsible for supervising the work of the workers, and the work of reclaiming the barren hills began in full swing.

The hired villagers worked very hard, wishing they could work non-stop day and night. After all, the wages paid by the Li family were high. If they didn't take this opportunity to work more and earn more money, they would feel sorry for themselves.

As long as a strong laborer is willing to endure hardships, it is not difficult to reclaim an acre of wasteland in four days. In this way, the daily wages are [-] to [-] yuan, which is considered a very high wage.You know, even if you go to the town to do hard work, you only have thirty Wen a day.

Of course, money is not so easy to earn. Liu Yongqiang and his brothers wandered around the mountains every day, and the unqualified land reclaimed had to be reworked, otherwise they would not be paid.In this way, both speed and quality are guaranteed.

In just six days, all [-] mu of wasteland had been reclaimed.

Li Mingyue also hired someone to go to the nearby mountain to cut down many firethorn branches and came back. They planted a circle around the small barren hill and poured some water. Within a month, these firethorn branches will slowly take root and become viable. .

Pyracantha trees are resistant to cold and drought, and have strong growth and reproduction capabilities. After two or three years, these Pyracantha trees can grow into a natural hedge, which is not only beautiful, but also can isolate the small barren mountain from the outside, preventing theft and thieves .

In addition, five small thatched huts were built next to the orchard. The huts were built with earth kangs and equipped with kitchens. After a few days of drying, the huts could be used for living.

On March [-]th, Li Shou and Mingzhi finally rushed back with a large number of fruit tree saplings.

They came back together, and there were four long-term workers bought from the dental shop.They are a family of four who fled from other places. The older man is called Wan Youliang, his wife is Fang Shi, the eldest son Wan Jin is 15 years old, and the youngest son Wan Bao is [-] years old.

In Li Shou's words, it seems that this family knows how to do farm work.Wan Youliang also said that when they were in their hometown, they also showed orchards to rich families.

Li Mingyue settled their family of four in the thatched hut at the entrance of the orchard, with bedding, luggage, pots and pans, everything was fully equipped, and Mrs. Liu specially packed some old clothes and sent them over.

In this way, it looks like a home, Fang's eyes are red, and after fleeing for half a year, he finally has a place to stay.She kept wiping away her tears, crying and was about to kneel down to Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu quickly stopped her, "Our family doesn't care about these things, so you just need to take care of the orchard for me."

Before the end of the month, tens of thousands of fruit tree seedlings were all planted in the reclaimed mountain land according to the previous plan.

Seventy acres of mountain peaches, seventy acres of mountain apricots, seventy acres of pears, sixty acres of cherries, sixty acres of miannai (ancient apples), sixty acres of red fruits (hawthorns), sixty acres of cotton apples, and sixty acres of mountain plums .

A total of eight kinds of fruits are planted on half of the mountain, which looks very spectacular.

Imagining how these fruit trees will grow up in the future, Li Mingyue can't help but feel a surge of emotion. I have a mountain, filled with mountains and plains, and the fruit trees are fragrant...It's very beautiful to think about it.

It's just that I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and the fruit seedlings planted now will take two or three years to bear fruit, and there are still some waiting.
