rebirth medicine

Chapter 4 The reason
Soon the sky was a little dark, and Qi Shu saw her father, wearing a big straw hat, carrying a small soil bag, wearing gray clothes, riding a bicycle, bumping crookedly on the uneven muddy ground come over.

He rang the bicycle bell with a jingle, smiled and stopped the bicycle in front of everyone, put one foot on the ground, greeted everyone, got off the bicycle, and put a bicycle hanging on the back of the bicycle. The small white cage was taken down.

When Qin Yunjun saw Qi Zhihong, he hurried forward to take the basket in his hand, and asked about today's harvest in detail. When he learned that it was not bad, the rice field eels were all sold, and he couldn't help showing a few smiles on his face, " Did you leave one for Xiaoshu?"

"It's been kept for a long time, and it's stored in a jar at home."

Hearing this, Qi Shu, who ran to her parents with her short legs, couldn't help but licked her tongue, drooling a little. The eels at this time were really pure, pollution-free, super delicious, but the family couldn't bear to eat them often, a catty Rice field eels cost seventy or eighty cents a catty.

One disadvantage of being reborn is that Qi Shu, who loves food the most, hasn't eaten anything too delicious for a long time, and even eats relatively little meat dishes. Who makes things so scarce these years.

Thinking of her parents leaving a special note for her, Qi Shu couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. Her parents are really kind to her. Although she can't think of any good way to change her life for the time being, the future is long and there is plenty of time to think about this issue.

Seeing Qi Zhihong came back, Qi Zhiqiang and Li Qiuhong also stepped forward and said a few words, but they were about to leave soon. After all, the sky was getting dark, and they had to go home to cook dinner and make preparations for tomorrow.

"Come here, come here." Qi Wu lowered his voice and said to Qi Shu in a low voice, sneaking a peek at his parents walking in front from time to time.

Qi Shu raised his eyebrows, and a gleam of interest flashed in his big glazed eyes, what does this Qi Wu want to do?You can tell a thing or two by watching his eyes go back and forth around the bag of candies that the uncle sent.

However, from the conversation between the uncle and the auntie, it seemed that father's name flashed a few times, and she planned to take the opportunity to listen to it.

"Xiao Shu, remember to save your candy for brother Xiao Wu tomorrow, and brother Xiao Wu will come and get it tomorrow." Qi Wu threatened Xiao Douding viciously, thinking that more than half of the candies sent by his uncle and grandpa had been given to Qi Shu, and he felt anxious. Very upset.

Qi Shu responded casually, those few pieces of candy were seen by the children of future generations, and there are definitely not many who want to eat them. Future generations will have a lot more delicious, fun and beautiful things than this.

Li Qiuhong, who was walking in front, quietly tugged Qi Zhiqiang, and pouted slightly in Qi Zhihong's direction, "Hurry up and mention the matter of transferring to the field."

Qi Zhiqiang patted Li Qiuhong's hand reassuringly, and said with his head sideways, "Don't worry, this kid Xiao Wu just made a mistake, otherwise it would be better to finalize it later. We can only talk about it in a few days during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's talk about it first." What happened this time is a little lighter." He stared at him bitterly, he used to be as noisy as the Monkey King, but now he is like a quail like Qi Wu, but this quail actually grabbed a little Douding by his side and threatened to stop him. Angry.

Seeing Qi Shu, the uncle and auntie didn't care, what can a three and a half year old Xiao Douding understand.

Seeing the look in Qi Zhiqiang's eyes, Qi Wu couldn't help but tremble, and quickly lowered his head halfway. Obviously, he was taught a hard lesson at home, and he is much better now.

Li Qiuhong quickly grabbed Qi Zhiqiang and blamed him, "Don't keep talking about the child, Xiao Wu is also unintentional, so let's talk about it in a few days, anyway, when I told Zhihong before, he didn't have much opinion, just talk about it again Sure it can."

Hearing these half-understood words, Qi Shu's mind flashed, and she finally remembered the truth.

He secretly took a bite of his glutinous millet teeth, and his big glazed eyes flashed a bit of understanding and a bit of worry.

Agriculture has been a major issue for the country since ancient times, and it is the same these days. The country's management of the fields is still relatively strict.

The current situation is that there are fewer people on the land, and fewer and fewer people are willing to farm. The dream of rural people is to become urbanites. Urbanites have good living conditions, a good environment, good pay, no need to farm, and a good reputation.Therefore, more and more rural people have become urban residents, and correspondingly more and more land is uncultivated. In order to avoid this kind of imagination, once someone wants to leave the countryside, no matter whether he changes his household registration or not, his All the fields need to be taken over, otherwise he cannot leave the countryside.

But taking over is not so easy, it involves several aspects.

First of all, the agricultural tax is too high these days. After the tax is paid throughout the year, the food left in the field is only enough for the daily expenses of a family. There is basically not much surplus. In order to improve their lives, farmers need Find another way out, find a way to make money.

For example, my dad is good at catching ricefield eels. In addition, he can also go into the water, cut hair, and know how to make tofu. He can also do some things like piling occasionally. The crops under her care are luxuriant, and the pigs, chickens and ducks in the pigsty and chicken coop are fat and fat. In addition, she can also tailor and make clothes for people.

If you take over other people's fields, it means that the busy farming time will be doubled or even tripled, which will greatly sacrifice the opportunity to make money, and people will have to work several times.

Another problem is that if you don’t have any surplus, you don’t make money at most, but there is still a corresponding amount of manpower falling on your head every year. The country’s infrastructure construction, such as digging a pond and repairing a road, requires manpower. This manpower It is calculated according to the number of people on the field, that is to say, if you take over an extra piece of land, you will have to work for a few more days for free. Ten days' work.

In this way, the time of slack in farming becomes shorter and shorter. It is already very tiring to do more farming, and additional free work is not only tiring, but also affects making money in slack.

It can be said that few people are willing to pay more labor for a little more food. It is really not worthwhile from a physical or economic point of view.

Of course, families with more adults are better off.

But like my father's three brothers, each of whom has fifteen acres of land, it would be a real disadvantage if they took over one more person's land.

In the previous life, my father took over the [-] mu of land from the two uncles, as well as the agricultural tax, and the labor paid, but he didn't hear how grateful his uncle was to his father. It can be said that it was thankless.

Moreover, Qi Shu always thought that her father's body was corrupted bit by bit, so she must stop this matter, and try to prevent every thing that corrupts her parents' body from happening.

Thinking that her father would be bullied by her uncle and third uncle in the name of brotherhood and taking advantage of her soft heart, Qi Shu felt depressed for a while.

She will definitely not let this matter succeed this time.

But what should she do?

What can a three-and-a-half-year-old little Douding do?

Now this matter should only be the uncle's idea. Besides, the order of seniority, if the third uncle proposed, it should be the uncle who takes over the field, or at least the uncle and father divide the land.

But regardless of the order in which the fields were transferred back then, even if the father and third uncle took over half of the uncle's field first, Qi Shu would not agree. After taking over the uncle's field, it is estimated that it will be the third uncle's turn soon.

Of course, according to Qi Shu's understanding of several uncles and aunts, nine out of ten it was his own father who took over the uncle's field first, and then the third uncle's field.
