My whole family is fleeing

Chapter 17
The whole family had breakfast happily and then got busy.Although they barely have a place to live now, farmers can't just wait for spring plowing with their eyes open, right?Previously, the village chief of Qingshui Village had given them ten acres of land for the sake of Wushan, but it was just thin farmland, basically wild land that no one wanted.There is no way, this Qingshui Village is close to the northern border, close to the northern barbarians, it is too desolate, almost no one wants to live here.The villagers of Qingshui Village had no choice. After all, they were all military families, so they had no choice but to come with them.So this place is vast and sparsely populated. There are a lot of fields, but most of them are uncultivated and very barren.

Furthermore, we can’t give the land that everyone has worked so hard to give to these new immigrants, right?Even if they have relatives like Wu Shan, this is not how things are done. What's more, if they want to live in Qingshui Village for a long time, they can't have conflicts with everyone from the beginning.

So after having dinner early in the morning, the You family set off in great numbers to the land assigned to their family.Fortunately, there is a lot of land here, and the land allocated to them is also connected together. When they get there, they look, oh, the grass is taller than a person!The density is enough to make one imagine what a lively scene this place will be like when spring comes.But the problem is, they want to cultivate land and eat food, not grow these useless grasses!
Old man You clicked a dry tobacco stick with no tobacco at all, and said a powerful sentence in front of his children and grandchildren.

"Cut!"

The You family members nodded directly after a brief period of astonishment and rushed forward with great energy.You Sifang, You Lao and his brothers, as well as the strong men from the eldest and second aunt's family, rushed to the front and cut off the tall grass plants with the sickle that they were reluctant to throw away along the way. Grandma You took the female family members and The children neatly bundled the cut grass into bundles, waiting to be transported back to the fields.

Not to mention anything else, none of the You family members were lazy or slippery. They were all working hard at the moment. The beads of sweat fell and smashed into pieces, and they didn't even bother to take the time to wipe them off.

Ning Ning, a small one, also followed behind and silently picked up grass roots.These hay cannot be wasted. In winter, they can be used to light the fire.For today's travelers, every available resource cannot be missed.However, Ning Ning was too young. Grandma You and the others couldn't bear to let a little baby under four years old work with them, so they asked her to go and play, but Ning Ning was not happy.

Everyone is working, she can't do nothing, isn't that just sitting back and enjoying the results?Shanshan has said this before, she cannot be a lazy person.

However, just as Grandma You and the others were persuading, Ning Ning suddenly raised her head and looked at where her father and the others were in front of her. She seemed to have heard something just now?
"Ah! What?!"

The next moment, a surprised cry came from the front, and it was Brother Six's voice.

Before Grandma You could react, a small figure rushed out in a swish.

"Sixth brother!"

Ning Ning ran very fast and soon followed the path opened by the You family men and came to them. Then she saw Sixth Brother holding a squealing thing with one hand and his face was filled with surprise.It was impossible to tell where the previous screams came from.

Seeing Ning Ning now, You Laoliu happily raised the colorful pheasant in his hand, smiling with his teeth exposed!

"Ning Ning! Look! Pheasant! I caught a pheasant again! We can have a full meal!"

"Ah? But Brother Six, your stomach doesn't hurt anymore? Last night, you seemed to have been suffering from diarrhea..."

You Laoliu's face suddenly stiffened.Then he spoke in a concealed manner.

"What, Brother Six is ​​fine, Brother Six is ​​fine, don't worry about it. Don't Ning Ning like eating meat?"

Ning Ning looked at the big beads of sweat on everyone's faces with a stern face, and finally shook her head.

"No, Ning Ning doesn't like eating meat. We already ate it yesterday. We can sell the pheasants and buy cows, so we won't be so tired."

After cutting all the grass, there is nothing to do. It is already the depth of winter, and the farm work that can be done is limited after all. When the next spring comes, not only do we have to plow deeply, but we also have to sow, weed and thin seedlings... Which one is not exhausting?It would be easier if there were more livestock.Of course, these were all learned while listening to the elders chatting, and Ning Ning now learned and put them into practice.

You Laoliu, who originally wanted to surprise Ning Ning, was stunned.He carried the poor pheasant, looked at Ning Ning with a small face, and then looked at the elders around him who showed approval expressions, and his mouth gradually opened wide.When did Ning Ning know that she needed to save money? !Doesn't this make you look like a fool?

Then You Laoliu received an affectionate elbow blow from his father.

"You brat, you have grown so old in vain, you are not as sensible as Ning Ning! Eat, eat, eat, what will you eat after you have eaten? Drink water to satisfy your hunger!"

After knocking You Laoliu away, You Sifang smoothly tied up the pheasant in his hand and handed it to You Laohan.

"Dad, take Ning Ning to the back. It seems that there is still something in the grass. Let's go through it first and drive everything out."

Old Man You was actually a little worried about whether there might be any dangerous wild animals in the grass, so he simply took Ning Ning back.Their little legs and feet are not very sharp, so it is better not to hold back here, and to help after everything is driven out.

At this time, Boss You and his father each took one end of the rope that he had brought with him when he took it out, and ran forward dragging the rope.They were the first group, followed by You Laosan and others.You Laoliu and the others stayed aside with eager eyes, waiting to catch the wild animals that escaped.

"Hurrah—"

When the rope moved quickly, it would inevitably get tangled in some dead grass, so the movement became even louder. The animals that were nesting in the deep grass were frightened and immediately fled in all directions.Ning Ning was blocked by everyone behind her and could only see the situation outside through the small gap between Old Man You and Grandma You.

They saw all kinds of animals emerging from the grass, and Old Man You and the others couldn't help but feel surprised.

"Ah! Mouse!"

"There is also a nest of raccoon slaves! Look at the colors, they are so beautiful!"

"What is that? Why is the tail so big and fluffy?"

"There are so many wild animals here! Brother, catch them quickly! They're running over there!"

"Uncle, I ran towards your leg, give me a quick kick!"

"Ouch, is that a snake? Get out of the way!"

The originally quiet land suddenly became lively and popular because of the addition of a large family.The animals that originally chose this place as their hibernation place also left in a hurry.During this period, many tourists were caught by waiting tourists.
