The peasant girl wants to turn the sky: the black-bellied husband, come to farm

Chapter 442 Planting Sweet Potatoes in the Field

With the presence of County Magistrate Dai, the land purchase went smoothly.

All the land in the Tong family had been planted with crops. Tong Tiehu didn't want those lands. He deliberately chose the wasteland where nothing had been planted. The two acres of land were far away from Anping Village and very close to the three slopes of Qiaomai.

After taking the title deed and buying a cart of sweet potato seedlings, the three of them returned to Anping Village.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Qiao Xiaomai got off the car and went home, and Tong Sanlang and Tong Tiehu went back to Tong's house.

It was already evening at this time, and many houses in the village were smoking. When the grandparents and grandchildren arrived home, the Tong family had already prepared dinner.

At the dinner table, Tong Tiehu took out the land deed and shook it, announcing the job he was going to do tomorrow: planting sweet potatoes.

Two acres of land, after planting in one day, the whole family will go.

It's already summer now, and the sweet potatoes in other people's homes have been planted a month ago, so this work must be done quickly, otherwise the sweet potatoes harvested in autumn will definitely not look good.

The Tong family listened silently, and no one made a sound.

There is no way, go back to your mother's house, this is impossible.

The life of her natal family is worse than that of Tong's family. Now they feel that the life of Tong's family is bitter, and it will be even more bitter after returning to her natal family.

split.

Neither Tong Dalang nor Tong Erlang has the courage, they are still young, and they don't have the courage to carry the whole family's food and drink alone.

Endure it!
With this thought in mind, no one made trouble anymore, the family ate dinner in silence, and went back to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, before dawn, Tong Xingda urged Mrs. Zhang to get up and cook. Mrs. Zhang picked up the two daughters-in-law again, and after the family had eaten, it was just dawn.

The Tong family has two ox carts, one for home use and the other for the vinegar shop. Now that the vinegar shop is gone, both carts are at home.

After driving an ox cart for a quarter of an hour, the family came to the two acres of land.

There are weeds growing in the field, which must be weeded first.

Holding small shovels, shovels and other tools, except for the two children of Tong Dalang's family, everyone else went into battle.

Removing weeds in the wasteland is not a heavy job for farmers. This kind of work is usually done by children. When Qiao Xiaomai’s family first had a donkey cart, it was Qiao Xiaomai and Qiao Dami who did the mowing. .

But the Tong family is not an ordinary peasant family, they are a group of pampered peasant families.

In the past, there were so many fields in the family, and they were all hired people to work, and they were only in charge of commanding.

They have not experienced this kind of hands-on situation for many years.

So in a short while, all the women were out of breath, their waists were sore and their legs hurt, the sun above their heads was hot again, they were sweating and thirsty.

Zhu Hongyun stood up and ran to the bullock cart, picked up a porcelain bowl, picked up a clay pot, poured a bowl of water, and started drinking.

After drinking a bowl of water, the heat didn't diminish. She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and couldn't help but think of the sour plum soup that Qiao Xiaomai had given her earlier.

Qiao Mai gave away more than once, a large clay pot was full, and his family finished drinking it on the same day every time.

Sweet and sour, definitely suitable for drinking at this time.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look towards Tong Sanlang.

Tong Sanlang is holding a shovel and is quickly shoveling the weeds on the ground. Others have not cleared much, but he is almost at the other end of the field. In just a short while, the ground cleared by one person can catch up with all of them Added a piece.

She walked towards Tong Sanlang, "Sanlang, I think the water in the clay pot is not enough for us to drink all morning, why don't you drive the ox cart back?"
