Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 256 Chapter 256 Be Strong
Yao Xiaoqing recalled it for a while, went to the kang bed and looked at Dongxue and said, "Don't be nervous, inhale and exhale slowly, and save your strength for the birth of the baby."

Dongxue nodded and followed her to learn.

After a while, Dongxue felt a little better probably because of the wave of labor pains.

Seeing that she was better, Yao Xiaoqing went back and brought the medical bag.

Ah Yu sent Dongxue a poached egg to eat, and after a while, labor pains broke out again.

Yao Xiaoqing saw that Dongxue was holding on to the animal skin cushion tightly, biting a cork, and was sweating profusely from the pain.

I think they are really strong, like when Ah Su gave birth to a child, she gave birth to the child by herself at home.

Xiong Niu told her to go and see the child, and she didn't know that Ah Su had given birth.

Leopard Ah Mu shouted: "Dongxue pushed hard, and the doll's head came out."

"Ah!" Dongxue screamed, feeling that the child had slipped out, making her stomach feel empty and uncomfortable.

"It's born, it's born." Leopard Ah Mu shouted happily, and a moment later, the baby's loud cry sounded in the room.

Yao Xiaoqing hurried forward to help cut the child's umbilical cord, took out the medicine powder, sprinkled it on the child's umbilical cord, and wrapped it with gauze.

"It's a little girl!" Bao Amu wrapped up the child and handed it to her with a smile.

"Red and wrinkled." Yao Xiaoqing took the child carefully and placed it beside Dongxue, "A Sen has a younger sister!"

Dong Xue gave the wrinkled child a weak look, pulled up the quilt to cover her, touched her wrinkled face, and smiled softly: "It's much better than when Asen was at that time."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "The days will only get better and better."

Dong Xue replied weakly: "Yes!"

"Xiaoqing, look at Dongxue, I'm going to bury things on the mountain."

Leopard Ah Mu said and went out with the placenta and blood-soaked paper. These things were to be buried under a big tree, and prayed to the mountain god to protect the child from growing up.

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, and said to Dongxue: "I asked Ah Yu to bring over eggs, how about asking her to cook some more for you?"

Dong Xue shook her head, "I'm not hungry!"

Seeing her weak appearance, Yao Xiaoqing said softly, "Then you have a good rest, I'm outside, call me if you need something."

Dongxue looked at her, "Xiaoqing, Ah Yu is here! Go do your work."

"Yeah!" Yao Xiaoqing walked out of the room, instructed Ah Yu a few words, and walked towards the cafeteria.

As soon as Yun'am saw Yao Xiaoqing, she asked, "Is Dongxue born?"

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "I gave birth to a younger sister!"

Yun'am was also happy after hearing this, "Dashu will be very happy when he comes back."

"I'm happy to be a father, can you not be happy!" Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile, "Mum, you can stew something for her to nourish her body."

Seeing Yun'am's happy look, she thought it would be better to stay here, without the feudal thought of patriarchy in later generations.

Yun'am nodded cheerfully, "They caught a pheasant in a trap this morning, and I'll stew a chicken for her to make a bun."

"You can do it as you see it." Yao Xiaoqing smiled and told Dashu's mother the good news.

At lunch, everyone knew that there was another little girl in the tribe.

Everyone congratulated Dashu's mother one after another, and she smiled from ear to ear.

Yaohu said to everyone: "When the spring planting is over, you can find a pair with the person you like."

A skinny warrior said worriedly: "Boss, what should I do if no one likes me?"

Tu Gen laughed, "Ah Chou, who do you fancy, hurry up and confess to her!"

"That's right, go find her quickly."

Ah Chou said seriously: "I haven't found it yet, I have to look for it these days."

The wolf laughed and said, "Shall we help you?"

A Chou flatly refused, "No, you are prettier than me, and she will fall in love with you later."

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.

After lunch, Tu Gen said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, the remaining sugarcane fields will be ready in half an afternoon. Shall I take Ah Hei and the others back to dig the canal?"

Yao Xiaoqing, "Wooden shovels and stone hoes are too slow. I asked the wolf to lead people to the canal and take those people to dig the canal."

"Twenty people will be taken out from there, and you and Adab will take their land to level it out, divide the compartments and dig ditches, and prepare to sow millet seeds."

"Okay." The two replied.

Yao Xiaoqing said: "You have led them to work all morning, what do you think of these people?"

Ada, "The people I brought are quite willing to work. I heard from them that they used to hunt outside and never worked."

Tu Gen thought for a while, "Most of the work is done with effort, but a few work very slowly. I don't know if it's because they can't see clearly or are lazy."

Yao Xiaoqing, "Remind them to observe for two more days and see what's going on."

"Okay." Tu Gen said with a smile, "Xiaoqing, I'm used to using hoes and shovels, but I don't think it's easy to use stone hoes and wooden shovels today."

"They won't feel this way. You need to check their behavior first, and then we can use iron tools for them with confidence."

Tugen said, "Got it, I'll watch them."

Yao Xiaoqing said, "Wolf, you and Dabo go to the cattle pen to bring the cattle out, and use the plow to plow the field."

"Okay." Ada and the wolf agreed and left.

When Ada and Lang came over with the cattle and the plow, they all went to the open field together.

Yao Xiaoqing pulled Ah Ni and about twenty other men from the side where the ditch was being dug.

Ada and a few warriors plowed the field with a plow, and those men picked out the stones and gravel in the field and piled them on the ridge of the field.

With the participation of wolves and a dozen warriors, the progress of the aqueduct was much faster.

Yao Xiaoqing measured the distance, and asked them to open grooves on both sides of the canal at intervals, so that they could insert gates to increase the depth of the water and irrigate the land on both sides of the canal.

Lime was sprinkled to leave a mark, and Yao Xiaoqing took a few old uncles to the grove, and found that after a morning of washing, the spring was bigger, and there was a stream of spring water as thick as the mouth of a bowl, gushing out.

Several people dredged the place where the water flowed to prevent the water from spreading around.

***
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days later, Shan'am and the others had finished planting kudzu and yam, and the wasteland in the south was almost leveled.

Yu and a few old men led people to fence the field to prevent wild animals from running into the field and spoiling the seeds.

Big tree Amu sowed all the beans and radishes in the vegetable field.

Pumpkins, wax gourds, mung beans, small red beans, and peas have all been sown, and only soybeans have not been sown.

Radish, rape, and pepper have sprouted green buds.

Yao Xiaoqing divided his staff into two teams. One team helped Leopard Amu's collection team collect beans, and the other team went to the wasteland to help open boxes, dig drainage ditches, and sow millet seeds.

The fields are full of busy figures.

At dusk that day, the warriors who came back from hunting brought back a dozen calves, several roe deer and fawns, and returned with a full load of prey on their backs.

Everyone walked on the ridge left behind, and saw that more than half of the open space in the north had been planted with food and fenced.
