Chapter 239
The few people were busy until the sun set and the surroundings became a little dark, and then they walked home from carrying hoes, dragging dustpans and carrying baskets.

Since the family no longer grows wheat and millet, these tedious crops, where have the Han family been so busy?When we arrived at home, everyone sat lazily on their clothes in the main room, feeling flustered.Although everyone felt that their stomachs were empty, they felt as if all the strength in their bodies had been drained, and their legs were so limp that they didn't belong to them.Nobody wants to get up and cook.I just want to take a hot bath to wash away the stinky sweat all over my body, and then I just fell into bed and fell asleep.

Xu Nanshan saw that their faces were all pale, and they were out of breath, and his heart felt as uncomfortable as a needle prick.Said: "You guys drink some water first. I cooked the rice and stuffed it in the pot. I also chopped Chinese cabbage, bacon, and planed yams. I will make do with it later and eat it. Just wash and sleep." The Hans have been busy for several days, if they continue to be so busy, their bodies will not be able to bear it!

Now there is no threshold between the houses in the house, Xu Nanshan can come and go freely in the room and yard.When everyone is busy these days, he is doing the boiling water, washing rice and cooking.He has to cook pig food and eat the pigs!
So Qiulin went to light the fire, and Qiuyue started cooking.Although both of them were so exhausted that they wished they could just fall to the ground and go to sleep.But it’s not like you don’t eat, where do you get the strength to work without eating?
During the meal, Qiulin thought about the things he had been thinking about all the time, pulled himself together, and said to everyone who was wolfing down: "Father and mother, if this goes on like this, I'm afraid that the sloping land has not been dug out. Let's start one by one." It's down. Let's go to the town and buy two servants to help take care of the sloping land on the back slope, and silkworms will be raised at this time, otherwise how can we get busy?"

Qiulin knew that if he said this before, it would definitely not be convincing.Parents are self-sufficient, who would think of buying slaves?Even older brothers and sisters would say that they can do these jobs without spending that much money.After working for a few days now, everyone is as tired as a dog.I also know that it is not so easy to open up barren mountains and dig land.There are still a lot of things to do in the future, such as raising seedlings, spreading manure and watering, raising silkworms and picking mulberry leaves at home, and getting up at night to feed silkworm mulberry leaves. How can this be a lot of trouble?
After these few days of hard work, everyone also knows that the work is not easy, so the matter of selling slaves is much easier.

After hearing this, Mrs. Han and Xu Nanshan frowned. "Where is there a slave in this farmer's house? If we work hard, we can do these jobs, don't you need to sell slaves?" Han refused.

The idea of ​​a small farmer is self-sufficient in this way, so those who spend their entire lives guarding that little field are like this from generation to generation.They don't have much ambition, and they all depend on the sky for food. They use their own hands to grow food in their own fields. This is their greatest happiness.The Han family and Xu Nanshan are both honest peasants, and when they heard Qiulin talk about buying slaves, they felt very conflicted.Don't you think this practice is the same as landlords exploiting peasants?

Not only Han Shi and Xu Nanshan were shocked, but Qiuyue Qiusong's face also changed, and she didn't care about eating, so she just stared at Qiulin.

Looking at this situation, Qiulin swallowed a mouthful of food. "Father and mother, we only have a few hands, and the second and third brothers are all going to school to study, so we can't let them run uphill like us all day long? Our family still points them to take the exam for a job title Come back! When the land on the slope is dug out, we will have to grow seedlings, plant water and spread manure. At that time, the family may have to raise silkworms again. Dad, if you want to cook pig food, you must be too busy to go through Caner. There are so many things going on outside the house, how can we make it through? Now that brother Xia Yan is bringing a few servants from his family to help us, it can't be troublesome all the time, right? When they withdraw, we There is more to be busy."

In the current situation, buying slaves must be the general trend.So she must convince her parents that as long as the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy is reversed, the matter of buying slaves will be regarded as a big hurdle.

When the few people heard Qiulin's analysis, it was really the case. They didn't have superpowers, and it was indeed too hard to do so much work.But do you really want to buy slaves?Several people showed a look of dilemma.

Qiulin also knew that everyone must have a heart-to-heart reaction to this matter of buying slaves, and it would take time to digest it for them to turn this corner.Her blind persuasion sometimes had the opposite effect, and Qiulin simply stopped talking, and just drank porridge and ate vegetables by herself, and waited for them to digest by themselves.

After eating that day, Qiuyue washed the dishes, everyone took a hot bath, and went to bed exhausted.They have been tossing them for the past few days, this person was next to the bed, a burst of drowsiness hit him, and he slept until dawn.

When I woke up the next day, my whole body was sore, and it has been like this for the past few days.Everyone didn't complain of pain. After breakfast, they dragged their hoes in their backs and went to work on the slope.I feel that working today is more strenuous than the previous few days. The pain from working these days is clamoring in my body, and I feel powerless.

Before noon, several people were so tired that they were out of breath, limp all over, and their legs and feet were surprisingly soft, as if they were not their own.Seeing that there is still a large piece of wasteland that has not been reclaimed, and the land at the foot of the slope has not been completely dug.In this situation, even if you want to use cattle to plow the land, it will not work.Everyone has a sense of powerlessness.

At this moment, everyone had to seriously think about Qiulin's proposal last night.At this time, they deeply felt that this fact was exactly what Qiulin said.I don't know when it will be over in this wasteland, and the silkworms in the house can't give up, and they have to hatch chicks and ducklings, so I'm afraid they are too busy to make ends meet.

Another day passed like this, and on the second night, Xu Nanshan and the Han family finally let go. If things go on like this, it's just like what Qiulin said, the work in the field hasn't been finished yet, and they A few got down first.This work is endless, the body is the capital!
Qiuyue Qiusong and the others also nodded in agreement, and they have been tossing hard these past few days.With so many things to do at home and outside, they really can't take care of them with their hands, so buying slaves has naturally become the general trend.
