Chapter 99 Hard Work
Others in the village also saw Yang Dacui and Shen Yunxi taking their families to reclaim wasteland, but they were not interested.Now each family has allocated a few acres of land, which is enough for them to work.

Also, they don't have money to buy seeds.The land they cleared would still become wasteland if it were not cultivated.

Also, many people are too hungry and want to rest.

Older people think that Yang Dacui and Shen Yunxi are hardworking, but some people think they are too stupid and will ask for trouble.Obviously you can rest!
However, the thoughts of these people are not important to Shen Yunxi.

Now she just needs to farm to earn money and build a house.

They walked a long way, passing through the uncultivated hillsides, and then went to further hillsides to reclaim.

There is no spring water on this hillside, so paddy fields cannot be reclaimed, but dry fields can be reclaimed.It just suits Shen Yunxi's needs.After comparison, immediately open up wasteland here.

Yang Dacui and his daughter-in-law mowed the grass with a sickle in front and cleared the wild vegetables on the hillside.

Tian Qiaoling led the ox and walked in front, while Shen Yunxi was strong, and behind her she held an iron plow and walked forward step by step with difficulty.

Tian Junling picked out all kinds of grass roots from the soil turned up behind her, and threw them aside.

Yang Dacui's two sons took a shovel and began to plan the soil to turn it into terraced fields.They have been doing these things for more than half a month, and they are very skilled.

Although there are few people, everyone is very hardworking and diligent.

In one afternoon, when there was only one cow, they really opened up half an acre of land.

Several people were too tired and sat on the ground to rest.Shen Yunxi looked at the open space and said with a smile: "As soon as I saw this open space, I was very happy. If there is a piece of land, you can sow seeds and harvest in autumn."

Yang Dacui also laughed, "Yeah, with the land, I feel at ease. No matter whether we can do it or not, we should work hard. Some people say that we are stupid, from Youqing's family, just listen to it, don't care. Those people Lazy, we can't be lazy. Lazy, how can we live a good life?"

"I don't care about that." Shen Yunxi said with a smile: "Auntie, let's continue tomorrow. After ten days of hard work, we can open this hillside and own more land. What a wonderful thing!"

Yes, Yang Dacui said with a smile: "Second brother, third child, you are very strong. Hurry up and tie up the grass we cut and take it back."

Shen Yunxi was very curious: "Auntie, what are you doing with these grass? We don't lack firewood here, so there is no need to burn these, right?"

Yang Dacui explained with a smile: "Take the grass back, dry it in the sun, make it into small pieces, and make strong adobe bricks in the mud, which can be used to build houses."

Shen Yunxi remembered that there were not many tile-roofed houses in the former Lihua Village, and most of them were earthen houses. "It can still be used like this."

"At that time, let the three brothers help you make earth bricks, and let's build a house together." Yang Dacui said with a smile: "After the house is built and the crops are harvested, we can completely settle here."

It was getting dark, and the old cow was carrying weeds, and the others were also carrying bundles of grass.

When we came back, it was already dark.

Sister-in-law Zheng Guizhen and Tian Daniu have returned.Tian Daniu is roasting two hares over the fire.Seeing Shen Yunxi come back, he shouted: "Mother, my aunt and I caught three hares."

Shen Yunxi was very surprised, and praised: "You are amazing. You have worked hard."

She also wants to eat meat.

Zheng Guizhen handed Yang Dacui another skinned rabbit: "Auntie, it's hot, so there's no need to put away the meat. You can take it back and roast it."

Yang Dacui and her two sons and daughter-in-law also want to eat, but they cannot accept such expensive things as rabbit meat. "Save it for the kids. Too expensive."
