The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

 Some families are assigned helpers, while others are not.

 The cattle rental has just begun. With this beginning, more people will come one after another.

These helpers have indeed helped each family a lot.

The man in the family left with Yan Er, and the half-year-old child was sent out to work on the cattle rental business. Manpower was indeed in short supply.

The waiter formed a team for them, and when the ladies of the several families met, they made clear arrangements for whose family would provide food for the day, who would feed chickens and rabbits, who would herd sheep and cows, and who would take helpers to the fields.

The helpers also truly saw the pride of Xiaoan Village.

He who has rich oxen has more oxen than a plow.

Hate that the plow is not enough.

The Yan family was assigned five helpers.

Yan Yu took the assigned laborers to his farmland and watched them get acquainted with the cattle. He hitched the cattle to the plow, then pressed the plow to plow the land deeply. The moist and dark soil was dug out, and the dark color slowly followed the cattle. It moves and stretches, stops at the end, and draws a new line again.

She knelt down and grabbed a handful of soil, kneaded it in her hands, and brought it to her nose to smell it.

 A cool earthy smell.

Today is indeed a suitable day for farming according to Grandma Rong. The spring breeze is not urgent, the sun is high, and there is a faint warmth on the body.

 There are spring weeds sprouting in the fields. When the cows pass by, their mouths are chewed, and then they are overturned by the plow, and their weak and small roots are exposed to the breeze and tremble.

Three people were driving three cows, but Rong did not take action. Instead, through Li Xuemei's mouth, she constantly adjusted the depth of the three people's digging to achieve the effect she wanted.

 The other two people were watching and learning from the side, measuring with their hands, and remembering the owner's requirements.

Yes, these people, whether they are helpers who rent cattle or criminals in the quarry, call the people in Xiaoan Village their boss.

　　Pretty unified.

 The people of Xiao'an Village were called so, which was new to them at first, but then they forgot about it in the busy work.

How can you rest assured that your own land will be handed over to outsiders, especially those former big men in the quarry? God, how can those people know how to work? The land is turning left and right, and there is no straight path. , it’s better for them to do it themselves.

The oxen and plows changed hands, and the villagers happily looked at the straight lines of black soil under their feet, laughing and laughing.

 That’s right, that’s it, be strong!

 Yan Yu and Grandma Rong walked to the river, leaving Li Xuemei watching.

The latter was dissatisfied with standing still, pulling out the weeds dug up with a rake, working on them a few times, and then looked down at the child in front of him.

As for why she is so obsessed with farming, Yan Yu seriously suspects that her father lost the land in her hometown. Although her mother didn't say it, she has always been worried about it.

He is so obsessed with farming that he has to go to the fields even with his children.

The cat was playing around in the field, but in fact, it scratched out a lot of weeds with its claws, and even kicked stones on its back to the edge of the field.

Yan Yu couldn't help but hold his forehead when he saw people from his village driving their cattle to plow the soil with great energy.

So she asked Grandma Rong to lead Sanbao away first, and then she turned back to the village to find some village elders.

Soon, the village elders went out to patrol the field.

 Teaching people from house to house.

“You don’t know how to plow, so you can’t teach me how to plow. How can I plow the ground straight? It’s not like making ridges.”

"We've already held a conference, and I don't know how many times I've said that I need to seize the time to open more land. Why, as soon as I touched something, I just stepped on the ground and forgot about it! I have a lot of life, don't teach them, you guys Can you finish it by yourself?!"

Yan Yu listened for a while and kept nodding, yes, yes, that’s how they should be educated.

There is too much work. Bringing so many people back to the village is to help them share the work.

  A place by the river.

 I saw that Grandma Rong and Sanbao had already started work. Yan Yu quickly ran over, picked up the shovel, and followed Sanbao to dig in the soil.

 The number of soil bags in the fields is steadily increasing.

Yan Yu gradually found a rhythm that suited her, digging deeper and deeper.

 She didn’t even know when her mother came over.

 “Xiaoer! Stop for a moment, take a break and have something to eat!” Li Xuemei shouted.

Yan Yu turned his head and wiped the sweat from his head.

　　When I was immersed in working, I didn’t feel it. When I stopped, I just felt that my body was sticky and my clothes were all stained on it.

 Look at the sun, it’s still early, why don’t you eat now?

Li Xuemei saw her looking up at the sky and said, "I got up early in the morning. After doing such heavy work, I have already digested the food I ate, so hurry up and put some rest on it."

 Hand over a dried tofu roll.

"Wow! Mom, I can eat ten!" Yan Yu didn't even catch it with his hands, he just put it in his mouth, raised his head, put it into his mouth, and swallowed it in three mouthfuls.

cucumber! Green onions! coriander!

 They are all fresh vegetables that are rare nowadays.

That is to say, the Yan family. No matter what the weather is like outside, she can plant whatever she wants, so that Yan Yu can make it like this.

 Served with the bean paste made by Grandma Rong and the moist tofu skin.

 She felt so good after eating it while it was steaming hot!

 It quenches both hunger and thirst.

Li Xuemei motioned for her to take off her gloves and poured water for her to wash her hands.

Yan Yu was able to do it on her own, so Kuku stuffed it into her mouth.

 “Aunt Rong doesn’t need to eat, these are all mine, hehe!” After eating the dried tofu roll on top, there were four medium-sized bean buns on the bottom.

Li Xuemei took out another clay pot wrapped in cloth.

“Mother Rong has been simmering it on the pot all morning. Try it, braised snake meat with soy sauce!”

Yan Yu:! !

 He turned his head and cheered in surprise: “Auntie Rong, I love you!”

 Knowing that it was a hard day in the fields, I prepared a small stove for her early.

 Mother Rong stopped, squinted her eyes and smiled at Yan Yu from a distance.

Hands gestured to let her eat to her heart's content.

Yan Yu nodded, the bean buns were sweet, the braised snake meat in soy sauce was slightly salty, tsk tsk, this mix was delicious, but she couldn't resist it. She just felt the energy she had used up, rushing back, hahahahaha!

With food in his stomach, Yan Yu remembered and asked: "Mom, how are the five people working? Are they working hard?"

 She looked fine when she left, but I don’t know what will happen after she leaves.

"Work hard. The village elders are biased towards us. The people who didn't allocate quarries to us are all farmers who exchanged cattle for us. If you are familiar with the cattle, you don't have to worry about it. I asked them to take turns. They said they would use it." As long as the ox is not tired, our iron plow works well, and you can work for a whole day without taking a breath." Li Xuemei smiled and said: "How can we really let people not take a breath? This is the first day of work, so don't make them tired."

Yan Yu nodded repeatedly: "It's good if it's a cropping technique, so we don't have to teach it all over again and waste time."

She has a big plan to open up wasteland. If you plow more in spring, you can harvest one more load in autumn.

"When the paddy fields here are dug out, we have to dig canals for our village, and build them together with the waterwheels. Grandpa Kang said that he has studied the drawings and understood them. We will not only bring them back to the adults who know mechanics he mentioned, But the quarry has been covered, and there are plenty of manpower. These people are not good at farm work, but they are good at planning the direction of the canal, measuring the water depth based on the wind direction, and assembling waterwheel parts."

Yan Yu swallowed the last mouthful and drank a lot of water.

"I also want them to help circle a few pastures suitable for grazing. I remember that herdsmen would take their cattle and sheep to eat the spring pastures, then the summer pastures, then the autumn pastures and winter pastures. They would rotate in this way to allow the grass to grow. It takes as long as the harvest time to avoid being eaten up by them. It is too laborious for us to store grass. It is all manual work, busy and tiring, so we might as well follow this method."

　　I have revised it several times, and I have wasted time again. Well, today’s update has been saved. I will write a supplementary update. I did some calculations and found that as of now, I still owe 13 chapters in February~~ I will make up for it one after another.
