Fenghou

Chapter 384
Ganquanbao's farmland is located on the east bank of the Baishui River, covering more than [-] hectares. It is grown three times in two years. One season of spring wheat is planted every year, and another season of beans can be planted every other year. The annual grain output is far from enough for the soldiers and civilians of Ganquanbao. To meet their needs, they have to buy from outside, but even so, the hundred hectares of wheat fields are still extremely important to Ganquanbao.

Since mutual aid groups are formed voluntarily, they are different in size, so the number of acres allocated cannot be the same. Before Lu Wei was in a mood, he used a one-size-fits-all approach. All mutual aid groups are ten acres of land, which made county government officials generally object , thinking that this would cause a contradiction.

It was only yesterday afternoon that Lu Wei began to correct his mistakes, and brought people down to plant signs again. He was busy until midnight before adjusting the number of acres.

It was still daylight, and everyone gathered in the courtyard of Chen Qing's house. Everyone was in high spirits. Rather than saying that they went to work, it would be more appropriate to say that they went on an outing. Yu Lian and Yu Ying even changed into their best clothes, After being ridiculed by everyone, the two ran back and changed into old clothes.

Seeing the two young ladies running back, Lu Xiu smiled and said, "It's almost time, let's go!"

Eleven women's soldiers led four little donkeys and set off talking and laughing. All the mutual aid groups basically set off at this time. Go to Baishuihe.

Walking across the pontoon bridge on the Baishui River, everyone began to look for their own plots. There was a sign on the top of each plot, which was easy to identify. It's just that some mutual aid groups have to go far, but there are special guides and archers. Save everyone from going the wrong way.

The archer is the fast catcher, the subordinate of the county lieutenant. This is also the performance of Lu Wei's serious work. He was worried that everyone could not find the land, so he specially arranged for a guide.

Lu Xiu led the crowd and followed an archer to the south. The wheat fields stretched as far as the eye could see, and the field was filled with the smell of fresh soil. Come for plenty of food.

Everyone walked all the way to the southeast corner, and finally found their own land. Everyone shouted in a fuss, "Mrs. Lu, ten acres of land is only this little?"

Archer quickly explained to everyone: "This is not ten acres of land, but three acres of land. The land is re-divided according to the number of people. The land is divided into five parts for men and three parts for women. This is probably how it is divided."

Archer is gone, everyone is staring at each other, what should we do next?
Everyone looked at Yang Liuer. She was the only one who had planted the land. Yang Liuer smiled and said, "In fact, there are many things to do in spring plowing. First, we need to dig the soil, pull out weeds, sow seeds, water and fertilize. Bury the seeds, otherwise they will be eaten by birds. The soil has been turned over, and many weeds are suppressed by the soil. We only need to pick up some weeds on the surface, but if you see grass roots, you must To unplug."

Compared with this group of bewildered ladies, many mutual aid groups in the distance started to take action. Lu Xiu clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Let's learn from them too! Each person is responsible for a piece of land, and first pull out the weeds in the field. "

Lu Xiu also had her own ideas. She divided the one-acre land into eleven strips, and used the water hyacinth she carried as a sign to start pulling weeds.

Suddenly someone screamed and looked at the ground in fear. It turned out that the owner Lu Xiu found something?
Everyone gathered around, it turned out that there was a fat white worm writhing on the ground, Li Qingzhao said with a smile: "Oh! So it's a worm?"

"I thought it was a grass root, pulled it out from the soil, and it was still moving, it scared me to death!"

Yang Liu stretched out his hand to pick up the fat worm, smiled and approached Lu Xiu's face, "Look, does it look like a fat baby?"

Frightened, Lu Xiu screamed and backed away, "Don't come near me!"

"Alian, Aying, are you afraid?" Yang Liuer asked again with a smile.

Yu Ying curled her lips, "When I was young, my family was poor, so I ate it for food!"

"Stop talking!" Lu Xiu was terrified.

Don't look at Lu Xiu's carelessness, she grew up like a boy since she was a child, but she has one biggest weakness, she is afraid of insects, a small spider will frighten her so that she can't walk.

A small fat worm completely exposed her weakness of being afraid of worms.

A small episode added a lot of fun, Lu Xiu became timid, and it took a long time to study a grass root before she dared to start. Zhao Qiaoyun next to her quietly pulled out all the weeds for her.

The next step is to sow fresh wheat seeds. The wheat seeds have been soaked in water and are very plump. The land here is fertile, and only [-] or [-] catties are enough for one mu of land. Everyone learned the skills from the next-door field, and used wooden sticks or tongs Make a trench about an inch deep in the soil, sprinkle the seeds in evenly, and close the trench with your feet.

But with this little work, the female generals were so tired that they couldn't straighten their waists, so they went to the edge of the field to drink water and rest.

At this time, Chen Qing rode over and asked with a smile, "How's the progress?"

Lu Xiu said triumphantly: "One mu of land has been sown, and we will try to end the three mu of land today. Three days of work will be over in one day."

Chen Qing said with a smile: "I still need to water and fertilize!"

"I know about watering, but what is fertilization?"

It's dried horse manure!Break it up and scatter it on the ground.

"Horse dung!" Lu Xiu's eyes widened suddenly.

"Actually, horse manure is still good, and there are more"

"Stop it, it's disgusting!"

Lu Xiu hurriedly changed the subject, and asked with a smile, "Husband, have you succeeded in ordering mandarin ducks over there?"

This is the topic that women are most interested in, and everyone gathered around one after another, "Chen Dutong, how many pairs did you succeed?"

"Including Huyanyun's couple, now there are five couples that are clear. This is only clear. In fact, it is far more than that. Just go and have a look and you will know. When you are resting, you are sitting there chatting in pairs!"

"Does that mean a matchmaker is needed?" Lu Xiu asked again.

Chen Qing nodded, "It's up to you to stand out. Go and have a look around, ask them if they have someone they like, and write it down."

It is a woman's nature to like to be a matchmaker. Lu Xiu smiled happily: "Let's discuss it later, at least we can go and find out, and see what difficulties they have by the way."

At this time, Li Mei smiled and said, "Chen Dutong, your wife also encountered an interesting thing today, do you want to hear it?"

Chen Qing suddenly became interested, and said with a smile, "Why don't you tell me about it!"

"Don't say it!"

Lu Xiu rushed up and twisted Li Mei's face, and said viciously: "If you dare to say that, I will break up with you!"

Everyone laughed, and Lu Xiu blushed and said to Chen Qing: "My husband must be very busy, let's go to other places to inspect!"

Everyone laughed again. At this time, Chen Qing saw Hu Yantong waving to him in the distance, so he smiled and nodded, "I have something to do over there, you guys rest!"

"Husband, drink some water before leaving!" Lu Xiu thoughtfully handed over the water hyacinth.

Chen Qing drank two sips of water, handed her the water hyacinth, and said with a smile: "We guys will do the fertilization later, so just leave it alone, it's over after watering!"

Chen Qing urged the horse to leave, and Lu Xiu immediately chased and beat Li Mei. Li Mei was already prepared and ran away with a smile.

Lu Xiu snorted, "You can hide past the first day of junior high school, but not the fifteenth day of the junior high school, so hurry up and come to work!"

Everyone got up and started heading down to the next acre of land
"Qiaoyun, do you want to find a husband?" Lu Xiu asked Zhao Qiaoyun in a low voice.

Zhao Qiaoyun blushed and shook her head, "I'm too thin, no one likes me."

"Being fat looks good, in fact, your facial features are very delicate, your skin is fair and tender, and"

Lu Xiu originally wanted to say that she has the gentleness and elegance of the royal family, and then she suddenly remembered her identity. Her husband said that her princess status is there. It’s not that she doesn’t admit it. Ordinary people really can’t marry she.

Lu Xiu quickly changed her tune and said with a smile: "My husband said, you should eat more meat, and come to my house for dinner with Master at noon, and you come and help me cook."

Zhao Qiaoyun nodded lightly, Chen Qing usually doesn't go home for lunch, but it's fine at noon.
