Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 360 Variation in the world
In this way, the Xu family has already received ten acres of responsible land. In addition, the person in charge of registration also gave the Xu family a lot of face, and deliberately vacated the other five acres of responsible land adjacent to the two brothers of the Xu family. For two registrations.

On the third day, all the snap lines at the anchor points were landed and completed one after another. Under the arrangement, the eight farm laborers who registered first were led by professional brothers to start excavating the first-level vertical main channel on the side of their private plot according to the position of the snap lines.

Due to time constraints and not considering the auspicious day for starting work, we had to choose a day rather than bumping into the sun. However, the necessary ceremonies were complete. Before the start of work, there were sacrificial tables, incense, drinks, and sacrifices.

All of a sudden, the sound of firecrackers resounded through the sky one after another.

The rare excitement attracted the villagers of Xiahetang Village to come out of the city to watch, and also attracted the attention of the villagers of Wangjia Village below the mountain stream.

Although the two villages are separated by a mountain stream, which is like a cliff, but because the difference in the terrain of the cliff is only less than three feet high, and the water flow in the mountain stream is not too fast, the distance between the two villages is actually very close, and daily walking is also easy. .

Not long after, many villagers from Wangjia Village came over looking for the noise, and when they came, they saw that the wasteland outside Xiahetang Village was full of people, and saw many people holding various tools, which was even more strange.

That's good, why is there such a big commotion in Xiahetang Village.

Those who were acquainted with the villagers of Xiahetang Village chatted with them. After asking, it turned out that a wealthy household came to Xiahetang Village, took the wasteland outside Xiahetang Village, and hired a farmer in the village.

The most important thing is that these farm laborers are in charge of three meals a day!
Hearing this, the eyes of the villagers in Wangjia Village became hot.

The geographical location of Wangjia Village is not good. The ancestors were from the same family who fled from the north during the war in the previous dynasty. Although they found a place to shelter in Lushan County, they couldn’t choose a good place to resettle because they were immigrants. The unused mountainous wasteland of the local villages was redeveloped.

It is not bad to be able to barely build houses and villages in such a lot, and there is no surplus of contiguous fields for the villagers to cultivate.

In fact, before the three-year drought in Yuzhou, life in Wangjia Village was not easy.

Apart from a few scattered acres of private land for food and drink, most of the villagers make a living by hunting in the mountains or fishing in the Sihe River. Most of the villagers live in a very difficult life.

Not to mention that in the past two years, the Si River has dried up, and even the bark of the trees on the mountain has been dug up, making it difficult to even make ends meet.

A few days ago, the villagers of Wangjia Village heard that the residents in Chengnei, Lushan County had distributed grain seeds, and many villagers in several nearby villages had already started digging the ground for spring planting, and they were even more worried.

I want to farm, but I can’t find grain, and I want to catch fish. The water level of the Si River has risen, but where can I find the river fish in such a short time? As for hunting, I don’t have to think about it. There is a lot of turf growing on the ground, and many dry old trees have sprouted new buds, but the game on the mountain can be transformed without water.

Sometimes it’s not the scariest thing for people to live a hard life, the scariest thing is that there is a reference for you.

When you drink cold water, others will eat bran; when you eat bran, others will eat white flour;

The most uncomfortable thing is that you can't walk, and the reference object doesn't move, it just sticks around your house, making your eyes hot every day, but you can't reach it.

This is the situation in Wangjia Village and Xiahetang Village. Compared with other places, Xiahetang Village is naturally not rich, but life is much easier than Wangjia Village.In other words, although there was a gap in the beginning, the villagers of Wangjia Village have gotten used to it after a long time.

Results, good guy!

My family is still living a tight life, and other people's homes have started to set off firecrackers. How can it be good, and some wealthy households have taken a fancy to the wasteland outside Hetang Village. How can this catch up with the recruitment of workers?

Speaking of which, this wasteland is not counted as Xiahetang Village. This wasteland is obviously between Xiahetang Village and Wangjia Village!

Although it is separated by a mountain stream, it is also an unowned wasteland. Why is it only recruiting workers in Xiahetang Village?

Why is there such a big gap between people?
The villagers in Wangjia Village watched the blazing groundbreaking ceremony and felt sour in their hearts. After inquiring again, they heard that the recruitment was not limited to these few workers, and there would be several batches to be recruited in the future. This made their hearts even more sour.
-
That night, the news that a wealthy businessman was recruiting farmers in the wasteland outside Xiahetang Village spread in Wangjiacun. There are only a dozen or so families left in Wangjiacun, and every one of them is on fire.

Wang Fugui, the head of Wangjia Village, tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.

Wangjia Village was migrated to Lushan County by the same family with the same surname. The whole village is surnamed Wang, and every household is more or less related.Therefore, Wang Fugui is not only the village head of Wangjia Village, but also the current patriarch of Wangjia Village, who is in charge of the livelihood of the whole family.

The life in Wangjia Village was difficult, and Wang Fugui was also anxious. He couldn't find a solution before, so he could only endure it. Now that the next village is waiting for a better life, the village head himself can't think of a solution. What face does he have to face the village? People of all ages waiting to eat and drink.

"Old man, where are you flipping pancakes?"

Beside Wang Fugui, the old lady of the Wang family said impatiently: "It is our family's rule that we have no food after noon. I have been hungry for four or five hours, and I have no strength at all. If I don't sleep, how can I survive?" live."

"I only know how to eat, drink and sleep, but I don't understand anything." Wang Fugui was angry, and stopped the fire for a while: "Ignorant woman!"

Mrs. Wang was always short-tempered, but she became angry when she heard this: "You have knowledge, you have knowledge, and the whole family follows you, can't eat enough and wear warm clothes?
As for the patriarch, he only ate one meal of rotten vegetable leaves a day.The little ones in the family are all skinny and hungry. "

"You're still fooling around, no matter how foolish you are, believe it or not, I'll beat you!"

"You smoke, smoke me, old woman, forget it. It will save me from suffering this kind of crime when I am old. It happens to save some rations for the two young ones."

Mrs. Wang was still yelling at the beginning, but in the end she couldn't stop shedding tears.

Wang Fugui's face was a little ugly, but he didn't speak any more.

The hungry little ones in the family are no longer tall, and everyone feels uncomfortable when they see it.

But whoever's life is not like this, if there is another way, even if he sacrifices his old life, he has nothing to be reluctant about.

Different from the gloom in Wangjia Village, many villagers in Xiahetang Village had unstoppable smiles on their faces for two consecutive days.

It turns out that in the past few days, Xu Dongfu has picked seven or eight families in the village one after another. After signing the contract in the morning, they will be assigned to the responsible land on the same day. The most important thing is that when they receive the responsible land, they can also receive a meal dry food,
Who can be unhappy to take care of the first meal before starting work.
