Chapter 98

For several days in a row, they were busy as usual without revealing any news, but Xiuyao led her second sister to mow the grass near the field, inspected it carefully, and secretly marked it.

The two of them were busy today, when Xiujuan and the other four came over, Xiuli saw them and immediately ran over, "Second Sister, Sister Yaoyao, what are you playing?"

Xiuyao straightened up and saw Xiujuan and the other three coming over, she said, "I'm tired of mowing the grass, come and have a rest."

Xiumei shouted: "You know how to be lazy, don't look at the separation of the family, but we still have to compost together, you don't want to be lazy and forget to put grass in the compost pool."

Xiuxian heard it, and came over and said: "Don't worry, I put in more in one day than you three in two days." After finishing speaking, ignore them, and continue to measure the ground with steps according to what Xiuyao said .

Xiumei and the others were very jealous when they saw that they could still play. Since they separated, they found that Dafang was not as tense and tired as before, and it was said that the food was good. It was too extravagant to be able to eat an egg every now and then.

Not only that, I heard that Xiuyao doesn't have to go to work every day, and now it's hot summer, and the sun at noon is so hot that it seems to peel off people's skin, uncle and aunt let Xiuyao take a nap at home so that she doesn't have to Mowing grass or something in the midday sun.

They don't have this kind of treatment. After lunch, they will leave immediately after a little rest. They all leave home and go outside to hide under the big trees or by the river to enjoy the shade.

But they refused to admit that they were not as comfortable as Xiuyao and the others after they separated. They must think that their family has no food, and they will feel better if they are starving to death. Now that Xiuyao is more comfortable than themselves, they feel uncomfortable .

Xiuyao didn't bother to talk to them, and said to Xiuli: "It's too hot, Xiuli and sister go home quickly, come to our house to play when you are free."

Xiuli agreed, she wanted to go to her aunt's house to play, but mother forbade, if she went, she would beat her, but she still wanted to go, "Sister Yaoyao, then you come and call me." If sister Yaoyao came to play with her , Mother can't say anything, it's not what she wants to play.

Xiumei scoffed, and dragged her away, "How many times have I told you, what's the fun with them, and I don't think they bully us enough." Regardless of whether Xiuli was happy, she scolded her and left together.

Xiuxian glanced at them, and said to Xiuyao, "I really want to beat her up."

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Second Sister, I can also expect you to beat her up, but they must say that we bullied her, so forget it."

The two looked over the wasteland, and Xiuxian was a little worried, "Little sister, so many people can't grow crops. Our grandfather did it too, and a dozen catties of seeds were wasted."

Xiuyao smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, anyway, we didn't grow crops at first, even if we didn't reap them, it would be a waste of time. We only have a few acres of land now, and there is not enough to grow. We have nothing else to do except open up wasteland. No time wasted."

After talking, the two returned home with grass on their shoulders.

Before lunch was finished, Zhou Suren brought a few boys over, and smiled as soon as he entered the door: "Daye Dad, you are not at home, you are free."

When Qin Dafu heard this, he hurried out and bowed his hands together, "Uncle Li Zheng, if you have time, please come inside."

Zhou Suren said: "Let's not gossip first, let's hurry up, I have already brought people and household items, let's go to measure the land, so as not to have any surprises."

Qin Dafu was overjoyed, and immediately asked Qin Ye and Qin Xian to prepare. When Xiuyao and Xiurong heard this, they hurriedly put down their work and came out to follow.Although Liu Shi wanted to go, she still took Xiuqin to watch the house at home. When she came back, she had to do whatever she could. Even if there was no good tea at home, she couldn't wait any longer.

She said to Xiuqin: "Go to your second grandfather's house to borrow a cup of white sugar and a few red dates."

Xiuqin left in a hurry, and Liu Shi cleaned up at home again. Although the house was dilapidated, she kept it clean and tidy, especially the pots and stoves for eating. Clean, very bright in the low and dim small room.

And Zhou Suren took people to measure the wasteland, and the village was immediately alarmed, because that piece of wasteland had been neglected for several years, why suddenly someone was going to reclaim the wasteland, and it was clear that nothing could be grown. How could there be people so stupid?Who is that stupid?They immediately went out to join in the fun without eating.

Everyone scrambled to ask who was going to open up wasteland, and soon they found out that it was the Qin's family. Someone laughed and asked old Qintou: "Uncle Qin, are you going to open up wasteland later?"

Old Qintou was still wondering, his family didn't open up any wasteland at all, so what are they citing?He immediately realized that the eldest son who had just been separated was making a fuss, and immediately held his breath, and said in a non-enthusiastic way: "Our family is gone." After saying that, he left.

The second aunt and the third aunt also heard about it and ran to see it. They saw that Li was taking people to measure the land. They measured [-] acres in a row before ending. The big house.

The second aunt said to the third aunt: "That wasteland has become their family's? We would have taken it if we had known."

The third aunt smiled and said: "Second sister-in-law, don't be afraid. There are dozens of families who have planted the land, not to mention a hundred. They are all losing money. Why don't you rent a few more acres of land? Our village has no shortage of land. Even if we don't rent It’s better to go out to do odd jobs when the land is idle than to plant this land. You see, there are many rocks, and you have to work hard to plow the land, not to mention the waste of energy and seeds. In the end, there is no harvest. You said that you are not trying to piss people off.”

The second aunt felt a little lighter, and said with a horizontal smile: "It's best not to take any grains, seeing that the big house is still so caressing." She also followed the crowd to go home.

Many trustworthy people in the village followed Zhou Suren to the small courtyard of Qin Dafu's house. The small courtyard was suddenly crowded, and some people even went into the house to see him sign a contract. Some gloated, some envied, Some people were also worried about Qin Dafu's family.

Qin Ye stopped those who squeezed into the house, and said kindly: "Masters and aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law, it is inconvenient to entertain you at home now, so please go back."

Most people accept it when they see a deal, and they don’t have the cheek to stay in other people’s homes. They all say congratulations, "Daye, the family has land, and this division has an additional [-] acres of land."

Qin Ye said with a smile: "It's just a wasteland, I don't know what to do with it."

Someone worried: "Daye, I didn't say that, you are too impulsive, so many people have planted in that land, if you don't collect food, can you plant it?"

Qin Ye expressed his gratitude for his relationship, "Uncle, anyway, give it a try. If you don't pay the land rent for a few years, if it really doesn't work, we'll just pay it back to the court."

Saying this, he sent everyone out, and then closed the small courtyard door, before it was tied, he was suddenly pushed away by someone, and a person rushed in angrily.Seeing that it was Old Qin, Qin Ye hurriedly said, "Grandfather."

Old Qintou snorted, stepped into the room quickly, and said loudly: "Did you sign it? No sign!"

Over there, Qin Dafu yelled that it was not good, motioned to Zhou Suren, got up and said, "Father, it has been signed, and the wasteland belongs to us."

Old Qintou said angrily: "You are stupid. If you have that energy, it is better to rent a few more acres of land to plant. What is there to open up in the wasteland? Are we not as good as you? Everyone can't grow wheat and millet, but you can? "

Qin Dafu didn't refute, just smiled, "Father, anyway, we won't collect rent for a few years, let's try it."

Old Qin was trembling with anger, the elder son was disobedient the moment the family was separated, really... he was so angry that he didn't know what to say, he dragged Qin Dafu to the yard, and said in a low voice: "Boss, why are you so rude?" Stupid? I divided the family for you. I didn’t want you to do anything wrong. I thought that the current situation is not good, the food in the family is not enough, and your daughter-in-law refuses to be in charge of the family. It is better to separate you so that you can also go to your father-in-law The family borrows food to eat, and the little food at home can support your second brother and third brother's family. Why don't you understand?"

Qin Dafu was confused: "Father, are we going to separate?"

Why do you listen, dad still wants to take care of it, but he just split the family to fool the father-in-law's family?

Old Qin said angrily: "Of course the family is separated, but you have never been a family, so I can't watch you do stupid things."

Qin Dafu smiled and said: "Father, what kind of stupid thing is this? Anyway, it's wasteland, white race."

Old Qintou saw his son so uncivilized, and became more and more angry, "What is a white race? Your time, energy, seeds, and agricultural tools are not money? You can't get anything out of the land if you break the big head. The big head is broken. You don’t want to fix it? Do you have the money to fix it?”

Qin Dafu stopped talking, and the old Qintou scolded him again, and then said: "Okay, I won't save your face, you are also the head of the family and return the land yourself." Although there is no need for land rent at first, nothing can be grown Well, it was Lao Qin's family who lost face, and he couldn't afford to lose this person.

Qin Dafu refused, and Old Qin was so angry that his hands trembled, "You, you are disobedient, aren't you?"

Qin Dafu said cruelly: "Father, since the family has been separated, let me try."

Old Qin laughed back angrily, "Haha, haha, okay, okay, just try it, just don't cry and wipe your tears when the time comes. I can't control you anymore." After saying that, he turned his head and left, also Qin Ye who called him ignored.

The people who hadn't left outside the door saw Lao Qin head leaving angrily, and they all talked a lot, while the second aunt and third aunt who were hiding to watch the fun were secretly delighted, and went forward to chat with the villagers who joined in the fun, and then everyone left together up.

Qin Ye closed the door and said to Qin Dafu: "Father, don't think too much, Grandpa Zhou is still waiting."

Qin Dafu hummed and entered the room with Qin Ye, and said to Zhou Suren, "I'm really sorry."

Zhou Suren smiled and said: "It's nothing. If my son is like this, I'm also worried, but you seem to care about it, so I won't persuade you. Anyway, it's just a matter of hard work. If you can't grow it, don't force it." Saying that he gave him the title deed, "It's all here."

Qin Dafu handed it to the Liu family, "Daughter-in-law, wasteland is also land. Although fifty acres is not equal to one acre, we still have land, so keep it well." Then he invited Zhou Suren and the others to drink tea, but there was no tea at home. Mrs. Liu brewed sugar water and put two jujubes in it.

Zhou Suren carefully drank the sweet water and ate the jujubes, chatted with them a few words, and finally said with a smile: "Okay, don't be too busy and wasteful, it's not easy to live a good life just after we separated, I'll go back now, Help you report to the county."

Originally, if it is a serious land, it has to be taken to the county for stamping, but the wasteland in the village is usually in Lizheng. There was a county government document about the wasteland before, with a seal on it, which can be used directly. There is no need to stamp the seal, as long as the record is good, this is a convenient measure to encourage land reclamation, and it has been preserved.

As for the old Qin's family, because Qin Dafu's family was disobedient, Lao Qin got angry and felt that the eldest son was being instigated by the eldest daughter-in-law to become more and more disobedient. If they were disobedient, they would have to suffer.Old Qintou held his breath and divided the land before the autumn harvest, and let them do their own work instead of working together, and the composting ponds should also be retting for each family. He was out of sight and out of mind. Whatever they do.

Xiuyao had expected this result a long time ago, so she was not angry, but Xiuyao, Xiurong, and Qin Xian were very angry, "We have cut so much grass, but the manure will not be used for us? How about we grow wheat?"

Xiuyao said: "Fortunately, there is still time, we can finish the retting by ourselves."

Qin Xian said: "Our family doesn't have pig and livestock manure, and simply retting grass is not good, so what should we do?"

If there is no good fertilizer, even if the crops are planted, they may not grow well, and the production will definitely decrease. He wants to see what the little sister can do.
