Chapter 122 Decided to open up wasteland

Father Jian said: "To put it bluntly, this issue was discussed as early as the spring planting, and in the end, no one in our family can change it."

"You can't change the village, but you can change your own." Jian Qingling replied with a smile.

"Sister, what do you mean?" Jian Qingling stood up excitedly and asked.

During this period of time, because the big cafeteria was not full, and there was an extra person in the family, he was about to collapse. If it wasn't for the help of his sister, brother-in-law, and the subsidy from the prey he occasionally caught, his family would not be able to support another person .

In the past, when there was no big canteen, although I couldn't get enough to eat, I wouldn't be as tight as I am now.

"Isn't there still a private plot at home? What do you usually plant?" Jian Qingling looked at the four of Jian's family, and before they could respond, she continued, "No matter what you plant, as long as it can fill your stomach, if No, let’s grow sweet potatoes instead, there’s still time to plant them now, the harvest is higher than others, and most importantly, it’s more drought-tolerant than corn and rice.”

"Growing sweet potatoes? But how long can we eat them with the little plot of land at home?" Little brother Jian thought that his sister had a good idea, but it ended up like this?
Jian Qingling frowned when she heard Little Brother Jian's indifferent words, and said in a serious tone: "I don't know how long I can eat, but it's better than nothing."

"Uh..." Younger brother Jian got stuck.

Although I think what his sister said is not wrong, but that is too little, is there no better way?His family can't always rely on his sister to help.

"Xiao Ling is right. We can't sit still and wait for death. We can save some. Starting tomorrow, more than half of the private land will be vacated to grow sweet potatoes, and the rest will continue to grow vegetables." Father Mu made a decision.

He recently got the news that the food is getting less and less, and the canteen will not be able to continue. At that time, a fire will be fired at home. Vegetables and the like will definitely be indispensable. Fortunately, there is still water coming out of the well on the back mountain of his house Now, although the water output is much less than before, there is no shortage of water for drinking and washing, and a small amount of water can be used to irrigate the vegetables in the private plot.

When Jian Qingling was struggling, Jian's father asked, "Xiao Ling, do you have anything to say?"

The girl was hesitant to speak there, she made it clear that she had something to say, but she didn't know how to speak.

Jian Qingling didn't expect her unnaturalness to be discovered, so she smiled awkwardly, summoned up her courage and said, "Actually, like me and Fujiko, you can open up a few plots of land in the remote mountains where no one has set foot, and no matter what, you can grow crops every year. Bring out some more food."

Jian Qingling's voice was very low, and the family members talked a lot, so she was worried that some ignorant children would hear it and go out and talk nonsense.

"It's not right." The somewhat honest second brother Jian took a deep breath.

If found, they will be arrested.

"People are going to starve to death, so how can I care so much? In order to fill my stomach, I agree with my sister's proposal." Brother Jian retorted.

He thinks his sister's idea is good, why didn't he think of it before, he occasionally wanders in the mountains, knowing a few places is good, and few people go there.

Jian Qingling: "..."

She just made a suggestion, it was all the water poured out by the married daughter, and she really didn't mean to participate in the decision of her mother's family, second brother, don't think too much about it.

Uh. Well, Jian Qingling admitted that from the moment she spoke, she was considered involved.

It is said that she is a married girl. She can't carry some food for her mother's family from time to time. It doesn't matter if she has a lot of food, so what about Jane's family?

How would you feel if you always accept things from your daughter and son-in-law after a long time?Uneasy or taken for granted?The former is okay, but the latter is not easy to handle.

However, if they really adopted their own opinions, it would be tantamount to saving themselves. They can plant whatever they want on their own land.

Father Jian thought about it for a while and said, "How about this, Xiaofeng, you are familiar with the mountains. From tomorrow onwards, you will go around the mountains and find a place where no one has set foot. Get some land out to grow something to eat."

"What about going to work in the village?" Brother Jian asked, besides, land reclamation is not such a simple task, and nothing can be done for a day or two.

"I can only ask for leave, Xiaofeng, your wife will have another day off tomorrow, and let him go to work with your mother the day after tomorrow. It doesn't matter if you can't do it, just learn slowly."

"Okay." Little brother Jian wanted to say that Yue'e is from the city and can't do anything, but he shut up after hearing what his father said later. Since Yue'e is married to him, it is impossible for her to stop doing farming for the rest of her life. .

He doesn't care about it, but there are sisters-in-law and second sister-in-law at home, no matter how good-tempered they are, they will have opinions. He doesn't want family disharmony to happen after he gets married.

Jian's father nodded, it's good that Xiaofeng can think clearly, Yue'e's body has almost recovered in the past seven or eight days, and it's time to go to the ground.

He didn't want to let him go to the field early because he had opinions about eating and drinking at his house these days, but he was a farmer. In his mind, the only way to survive was to farm.

Father Jian turned his head to look at the eldest son again and said, "I will ask you and your wife for leave the day after tomorrow. The three of you will open up wasteland together. During this time, someone in the village asked about it and said that the eldest daughter-in-law has something to do with her natal family and needs to go back to her natal home."

"Father, my daughter-in-law no longer has a natal family, and most people in the village know about it." His daughter-in-law escaped from the famine, otherwise how could he have married a daughter-in-law early?

"Stupid, let's just say that a distant relative is still alive. A few days ago, someone sent a letter over. He will be away for ten days and a half months before returning." Father Jian growled softly.

Brother Jane immediately shut up and didn't speak.

"But no one has sent a letter to our house these days." Second Brother Jian said, "Father, you are really serious. If you want to use this excuse, it should be me and my wife. My daughter-in-law's family also has a mother-in-law and younger brother."

"Use the two of you as an example? I don't even look at where your daughter-in-law's natal family lives. It only takes half a day to go and come back, which is closer than your sister's return to her natal home. How can you ask for ten days and a half a month?" Jane The father stared at the second son with hatred.

The second brother Jian also shut up, didn't he not think of that level?

"As for the messenger, isn't he right in front of everyone?" Jian's father looked at Muziteng and Jian Qingling and said, "It's just that Fujiko and Xiaoling came to notify us. If someone asks where the eldest daughter-in-law's relative lives, Just say it’s in the city next door, don’t say anything else.”

Every day, they bring food to the mountain from the back of his house early, and come back after dark, so no one will notice whether they have gone out.

Several people nodded.
