Traveling through the money-making life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 752 Digging the Vegetable Garden
"Forget it, I came here today to tell you that this is the last time I'm here, and I still have to go to town tomorrow. When Tianbao goes to Beijing to catch the exam, I will go with him."

Widow Wang's words directly exclude herself from Chen Rou's plan. She will not stay in this village or Wang Village for the rest of her life.

"But you planted land in the village." Chen Rou was referring to the five acres of land that Daniel mentioned.

"Actually, I didn't do much. It was all the people in your village who helped me. Everyone probably expected you to come back. You saved me before, and everything was evened out,"

Widow Wang had a satisfied expression on her face when she spoke. She had waited for this day for a long time to pay off Chen Rou's life-saving grace, and then left here with Tianbao. When they arrived in the capital, no one would ever know her past.

Speaking of which, Chen Rou already knew what she should do. After eating the grapes, Chen Rou asked someone to carry Shen Zhuo to the backyard. In the past two months, Shen Zhuo's plan was to do some handy work, such as weaving baskets, Then do some work within one's ability, as long as you endure these two months, everything will be fine.

Due to the decrease of the land, Chen Rou had to find a way to reclaim the wasteland. Chen Rou, carrying a hoe, was about to go out to find the wasteland, but Zhang Lan stopped her.

"Rou girl, what are you doing?"

"Go and see if there is any wasteland near the mountainside in the village. I plan to reclaim a few acres of land and add more vegetables. Now it's the season for planting."

"Why wasteland? Lao Ge's family has three acres of sweet potatoes. He just dug them a few days ago. He said he didn't want the land anymore. He asked the villagers who wanted it, but no one answered at that time, so no one took care of it."

"Why doesn't he want it?" Chen Rou asked curiously.

"He said that the village was terrible. It was either stoned, the house was gone, or the flood. He went to the city to find his daughter. Her daughter seems to have a small cloth village in the county, and now she is short of people."

Chen Rou's eyes widened immediately, three acres of dry land, plant some vegetables this year, and grapes next year.

"Godmother, take me there quickly, I'm going to cultivate it."

When Chen Rou really saw old man Ge's land, she realized why he was so willing when he threw it away.

Dry land is no better than paddy fields. Most of the dry land is dug out by the villagers bit by bit. Whether it encounters stones or weeds, in short, it may take a lot of time for the villagers to get a piece of dry land.

When Chen Rou saw the so-called three acres of sweet potato land on the back of the hill, she knew what it meant to be unloved.

Half a person's height of weeds occupied the entire land. Chen Rou saw at a glance that apart from the weeds, there was only a large piece of cocklebur in the middle and a plant that multiplied super fast and was difficult to eradicate.

"Godmother, are you sure he didn't receive anything, so he gave up?"

Chen Rou wiped the sweat from her forehead. "I think it's easier to reclaim a piece of land than this."

"Oh, at the critical moment, why do you care so much, Rou girl, I leave these things to you, first cut the grass with a machete, let it dry in the sun for two days, and then burn the three lands, don't take too long. After the good time for sowing, it is not good."

After Zhang Lan finished speaking, she went home alone holding a stick.

The corners of Chen Rou's grinning mouth could no longer smile, which seemed to be worse than when she first came here.

"Strive to cut all the grass in three days..."
