Chapter 141

"How much land did dad buy this year?"

Not only their family, but almost all villages will contract land at this time.This enclave is not only for weeding, but also for care, and they will also harvest the land when the ear is planted.

After harvesting, the ground must be plowed for sowing in the next season, and in autumn, weeding and harvesting will be carried out again.The grain after the natural harvest will be received by the farmer.

At this time in previous years, the family would lease ten acres of land, but with the help of Mrs. Yu and Xiao Jingyu.Now, the Yu family is not going, and Xiao Jingyu is busy building a martial arts gym, so I don't know how much land the three of them will occupy.

When the old man Xiao heard Du's question, he glanced at her, and replied lightly, "As in previous years, we will cover ten acres of land, but this year we will work with your Aunt Niu."

After the old man Xiao finished speaking, Mrs. Du was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, hummed lightly, and did not answer.

Aunt Niu lives next door to their house. She is 40 years old. People in the village often call her Niu Widow. After her husband joined the army more than ten years ago, the news of his death was received within a year.

Since then, Aunt Niu has not remarried, and has lived with her only daughter Li Qian until now.Li Qian is 20 years old this year, and she is still unmarried, not because of anything else, one is that her family is poor, and the other is that she was born dumb.

The mute didn't lose his arms and legs, so he was able to work.That's why Mrs. Du didn't have any opinion after hearing what old man Xiao said.

One mu of land costs three hundred renminbi a year, and ten mu of land costs three taels of silver.It seems that it is covered for one year, but in fact, the time spent on work plus one piece is not much.On the contrary, their family has little land, and they are idle on weekdays. Not every family can get such a good opportunity.

It is said that they went to pull weeds in the fields after breakfast, but in fact, it was already Sishizhong (ten o'clock in the morning) by the time they set off from home.It just rained all night last night, and the wheat field was full of rain. After the sun had sunned for a while, they followed Old Man Xiao.

After going out, the three of them went east, and there was a house next door, which was Aunt Niu's house.

Aunt Niu's family is really poor, with four dilapidated houses, three main rooms, and a kitchen.The house was built 30 years ago, and the walls seem to have been repaired before, and it looks okay.But the broken door in the main room rattled when the wind blew, as if it could fall down with a push of the hand.

The roof is covered with wheat straw, and the color is gray, which shows that it has been used for a long time.There is no courtyard wall in the yard, a jujube tree is planted, and a simple hut stands there alone.

As soon as the three arrived, Aunt Niu and Li Qian came out of the house.

Aunt Niu was only forty years old, but she looked about 50 years old, with a thin body, dry hair, and patches all over her clothes.

Followed by Li Qian, 1.6 meters seven, average-looking, with a little flesh on her face.Because she was dumb, she was ridiculed by many people on weekdays, but Li Qian was lively and cheerful. She smiled and nodded when she saw the three of them.

"Brother Xiao."

Aunt Niu, like Li Qian, looked honest, but she was extroverted. When she saw the three of them, she hurriedly said hello.She also worked neatly, as soon as she came out of the main room, she turned around and locked the door, then went to the side and picked up the bamboo basket at the base of the wall.

After a set of movements, there is no sloppy at all!
"Let's go quickly, go to Siyan's house first, and then let's go together."

Yesterday they just got together to discuss and discuss, the land has not been divided yet, they have to go to the field with Four Eyes to have a look.They are illiterate and can only follow him.
