Chapter 389
"You said, there is no need to reclaim the land?" Ji Qingyan held back her smile and asked her younger brother deliberately incomprehensible.

"I want it! It's just that it won't be long! The village elder said that we still have to work before the weather gets cold. I guess it will be next month. Maybe it will be finished in two months. There is no need to cultivate the land!"

Ji Qinglei scratched his head, and finally repeated what he said several times just now. This time it went much smoother, and he nodded and laughed with satisfaction after speaking.

"Then why did you come back? Don't you need to work?" Ji Qingyan patted the boy's head and asked an important question with a smile.Since you still have to go to work, why did you run home?
She deliberately pretended not to understand what happened by the river, so she only cared about her younger brother going to work as if nothing had happened.

"The village elder said we don't need us in the morning. Brother Yunlin and the others went to check the whole place, and they all said they don't know what's going on. We were fine before we left last night..."

Ji Qinglei started talking again, but what he said was the same thing, what he saw and what everyone said, but everyone was in the same mood - at a loss.

Ji Qingyan also showed the same surprised expression as the little sister, but she almost burst out laughing in her heart, wondering how Brother Yunlin is feeling now?

He wants to inspect the mountain that has been flattened every day with everyone, and he also pretends to be surprised, surprised, and incomprehensible. I wonder if he can pretend?

"Sister, I came back to tell you this, I have to go and see again!" Ji Qinglei said with a smile, then turned around and ran out in a hurry.

Soon there was his voice calling "Brother Xiaoming". It turned out that everyone had gone home to talk about it.

Some teenagers reported the news, presumably at this time the river was already crowded with spectators, right?

Ji Qingyan got up lazily, and even yawned heavily, Ji Qinghua burst into a smile and said, "Sister, you can sleep if you want, and get up to eat when you are hungry!"

"No, there must be some excitement by the river at this time. I'll go and see, have you eaten?" Ji Qingyan put on her cloth shoes and got off the kang, turned around and shook the thin quilt on the pit and folded it a few times.

"We've just eaten, we're going too!" Ji Qinghua said hastily.

"Okay, after I finish eating, clean up the house if you have time!" Ji Qingyan smiled, naturally she would not reject her sister's interest.For such a big matter, it would be suspicious if she wasn't interested at all.

Soon Ji Qingyan went to the kitchen, and Ji Qinghua also went to empty the toilet. After a quarter of an hour, everyone cleared the fire in the kitchen and went out together.

After leaving the fenced courtyard, Ji Qingyan activated the formation at random. If someone took the opportunity to touch the courtyard, they would leave evidence of breath.

There was no one walking on the road to the river, the village road was empty and quiet, and there was no movement in the yards of the houses.Ji Qinghua couldn't help muttering curiously: "Aren't you all going to watch the excitement?"

"Haha, it's not that we won't go, but we've already gone, we're the last ones." Ji Qingyan was amused by her younger sister, how could anyone sit still at such a lively event.

Sure enough, when we reached the fork in the road, we could see many people walking around. When we walked towards the river slope, we could see that almost the whole village had come, but there was no crowd, because many people were walking towards the hill. .

Some people who have seen it are still discussing this matter together, with beaming smiles on their faces.

At this time, Elder Ji beat the gong and shouted: "Everyone, take a look and go home quickly, what should you do! Don't crowd here and delay our digging!"

Ji Qingyan couldn't help pursing her lips when she heard the elder grandpa say "digging the soil" instead of "cultivating the land".It seems that everyone is excited.

Although digging the soil is also a land reclamation, it is much easier because the soil is loose. Use a hoe to dig into the dustpan, then pour the soil in the dustpan into the basket, and hand it over to the long transport team to pass it to the place where the soil needs to be filled. side to go.

In order not to idle the strength of the long team, a special person is assigned to turn the soil, that is, transfer the dustpan that everyone has dug up to the basket, and then pass the basket to No.1 or the second person in the long team.

The first two people in the long line are responsible for walking around and quickly picking up the baskets and passing them to the next person.

When they are too busy, the third and fourth people will also be dispatched, and everyone will take turns. That is to say, the first few have more room to move, and the middle hardly moves, just pass the time, and the people on the tail will also have room to move.

Even with this arrangement, the range of walking is not large, and the time of gravity in the hands is not long, let alone walking a long distance on the shoulders, and the pressure of hard work should be greatly reduced.

It's just that when I go home every night, my arms are a little sore.

And now, for some unknown reason, the small hill that they thought would take a long time to cultivate was razed to the ground overnight.

Although it is not very smooth, the gully is very wide, the height is inclined, the soil becomes loose, and even a few soil layers are scattered. Now it is only necessary to plan away the loose soil first, and then choose a convenient place to plan the rest. that is.

Although there are doubts and puzzles in their hearts, everyone is still very happy. Things have become easier and the progress has been improved. It should be able to catch up with the land distribution before winter, and maybe even catch up with the wheat planting!

The prospect is in sight!Who is not happy?Who is not excited?
Especially if it's getting colder today, winter is coming soon, and no one wants to sweat and work in the ice and snow in the future. In addition, it is near the river, and it is very easy to catch cold after sweating and being blown by the wind.

At this time, the men were busy digging the soil, and they redistributed it. Some were responsible for digging, some were responsible for loading baskets, and some were responsible for passing the soil away.

Ji Qingyan and her sister only stood on the side of the river to watch from a distance. The little sister wanted to get closer but she stopped her.

"The soil over there is loose and it will stain your shoes. Do you see that everyone's shoes are covered with mud?" Ji Qingyan pointed at some people who were coming back, women and adults in the village. Girls big and small.

Everyone ran over to watch the excitement, but came back after stepping on the loose soil.

After all, it was the external forces that broke the soil layer that caused the hills to collapse, crack, and topple over. Although it didn't rain last night, the loose soil was somewhat damp after a night of dew.

The little sisters naturally didn't dare to go any further when they saw this, they were wearing new cloth shoes!

"Hmph, it's so fast to watch the excitement!" Suddenly, a disdainful voice sounded, and Ji Qingyan turned her head to take a look, and it was actually Ji Yue'er who hadn't seen her for a long time.

"Can my little girl see the front? Do you want me to pick you up and see?" Ji Qingyan looked back at the little girl who was holding her hand but kept tiptoing, and asked with a smile on her face.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" As soon as the little girl heard that, she immediately raised her little arms towards Ji Qingyan, with a happy smile on her little face.

"Ah! My younger sister is taller than the elder sister! You can look far away, right?"
