Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 40

"The personnel will decide on these for the time being. We will need a lot of manpower to develop the back mountain and buy the ranch in the future. Then we will recruit people to sign the agreement!" Su Mu signed and pressed his fingerprints on the agreement written by the village chief himself; Liu Wuye and the village chief also signed their names in the place of witnesses.

The selected person was naturally beaming, holding a wine glass and insisting on toasting Su Mu.

If you want to drink all of these, don't you really have to go out sideways?
So he said with a smile to everyone: "I'll just have a drink. I'll have to send the installer back to town after dinner. Don't drink too much when walking at night. Everyone remember, tomorrow At seven o'clock in the morning, gather at my house and let's divide the work!"

Just as he was thinking of fooling the wasteland reclamation team, who knew that his voice hadn't finished yet, he heard the pillar outside shouting: "Muzi, you can drink it up!
The installer from the town was drunk by the rest of us, let him sleep in the third master's east room later, and go to the town tomorrow morning to pull stones, and it won't be too late to send him back!Otherwise, in the middle of the night, he would be drunk, where would you send him? "

Everyone started laughing and booing when they heard it, yelling that Su Mu must drink all the toasted wine!
He really didn't expect this trick, Zhu Zi listened to his words and focused on "taking care" of the installer, who knows that this master is also a drinker, once he tasted the grain wine they made themselves is quite good, he didn't stop.As a result, I got drunk with a few young guys at the table after eating and drinking a cup each. At the moment, I was yelling at the fat man to take two chopsticks and go fishing by the river.

"I'm really drunk. I can't assign tasks tomorrow morning, so the construction period will be postponed by one day! Anyway, it doesn't matter if I plant the land one day earlier or one day later, but you have to pay wages one day later. Ask your family first. Agree or disagree!" Seeing that Su Mu couldn't escape, he could only use his identity as "boss" to suppress him.

Unexpectedly, Sister-in-law Hei took the lead to raise the wine glass and said with a smile: "Anyway, our family's old Hei pays wages sooner or later, I have no objection, sister-in-law, you can't push this glass of wine!"

Well, with the beginning, the back is completely unstoppable.There are a few men and women in the village who can drink well, and it is too much for everyone to take turns to toast.

Su Mu himself didn't know how much wine he drank that night, but fortunately, he was close to home, and after the night was over, he wandered back and hummed a little song, lay down on the kang and slept until dawn!

The next morning, as soon as I got up from the kang and washed my face, someone in the yard came to accept the task, talking and laughing.

After breakfast, all the workers ordered last night have arrived; Dad and the others have already driven the truck to the town with the installer to pull stones and continue to build roads; Mom, grandparents, and Zhang Sanye Also come early to gather, waiting to help open up wasteland.

"Mom, grandma, and Mr. Zhang, can you not join in the fun? Land reclamation is a laborious job. You should do logistics at home, send some water to quench your thirst, and leave the physical work to us!" Su Mu He picked up a mouthful of food indiscriminately, and saw that his mother and the others wanted to go into battle, and they couldn't laugh or cry.

Isn't it just to let them live a good life and stop working hard when they come back to engage in agriculture? In the end, they all go to work in the fields. It's better to go to the city to stay comfortably!
Finally persuading the restless family members, Su Mu took out the newly bought lawn mower and showed them how to use it.

Now he is not familiar enough with the people in the village, except for the few who are common, the others are still unfamiliar.Fortunately, the village head had prepared a list for him in advance. Su Mu had a rough look at the list and probably knew how to divide the work. Then he stood at the door and coughed twice, ready to speak.

"Now men and women are divided into two rows, let's arrange the division of labor." Hearing his shout, the people who had gathered together hurriedly looked around, and then found their respective teams to stand.

Su Mu took a look, then looked at the two names on the list that were marked out during the roll call just now, and said: "Liang Yongkang and Liu Dali, you two are the two captains of the men's team. The captain is mainly responsible for dispatching the work of your squad Arrangements, remember to be reasonable and convincing to the public, and don’t let people say that they are partial.”

As soon as the words fell, the crowd burst into laughter.You joked and shouted at Liu Dali: "Dali, you can't distribute all the labor-saving work to your daughter-in-law!"

When Su Mu saw a tall woman in the women's team with a ponytail in her twenties, her face blushed instantly, and only then did she know that they were husband and wife.Because they are usually good at doing farm work, they were recommended by the village head to join the first batch of wasteland reclamation teams.

"Stop, stop! I haven't finished yet!" Seeing that the young daughter-in-law was blushing up to the neck, he quickly waved his hands to make them stop joking and joking, "You two learned how to use the lawn mower very quickly, so The previous mowing problem will be handed over to the two of you who will be responsible first;

Datou, Zhang Yongfu, you two are the captains of the transportation team.The main work is to pick up manure, transport it, and spread it on the ground.

I made an agreement with the village chief last night that I would go to someone who has ready-made manure to pick up the manure. When I settled the wages, I would pay [-] yuan per cellar; now I can retch a cellar of manure in about half a month, and remember to retting it when I go back. Ah, more land will be of great use in the future!
The rest of the strong labor force can be divided freely. There must be someone who plows the ground, someone who picks up grass roots, and someone who has flat land; if you are tired of the same job, you can discuss it with others, and you can't just occupy the labor-saving work and let it go.Everyone should be conscious, the purpose is to do the job well, but don't make any conflicts!
Sister-in-law Hei, you are the captain of the women's team, and you were mainly responsible for the aftermath of the land reclamation.

The weeds they cut in the front should be bundled and taken to the village square, and then dried in the sun to be polished into thatch noodles and then fed to the livestock; the grass roots collected later should not be wasted, they should be piled up first, and then they can be used for retting and matting. pigsty.

The rest of the specific division of labor is arranged by yourselves. Take a rest when you are tired. We must pay attention to efficiency and combine work and rest.Do you understand? "

"Understood!" Dozens of people shouted in unison, and the momentum was quite loud.

"Let's go!" Su Mu waved his fist, intending to create momentum, but after shouting, everyone looked at him with smiles, and no one moved.

Pointing to the wasteland in the distance, Mrs. Hei said: "The land near the village is planted by people. The nearest wasteland is so far away from us. If we walk there, we have nothing to do but waste some time. Muzi, your two The skinny legs are getting shorter! Do you have a bicycle or something? We walk, you ride!"

"Ahem, I just haven't done farm work before. Walking... It would be a waste of time to walk there, but with so many of us, my car can't even fit it!"

It was only then that Su Mu realized that he only thought of manual distribution, and he really didn't think of the traffic problem.

Seeing that he was really in trouble, Mrs. Hei covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Forget it, forget it, I won't tease you! We have thought of it for you a long time ago, each family with a carriage takes turns, and we go to and from work every day in a carriage." You have to use a cart to pull the dung, if you rely on manual work, wouldn’t you be exhausted!”

"I really didn't expect that my dad would buy two tractors and drive them back another day!" He slapped his thigh and remembered this.

I always want to let the people in the village feel the convenience brought by modern machinery. How can I forget such an important thing?

Fortunately, the land reclamation team had already set up the carriage, the big whip cracked, and the bay red horse with the big copper bell drove the carriage to the wasteland obediently; Su Mu sat on the first carriage and looked back. Look, there are several carriages in a row in a row, but there is a strong local flavor of returning to the original.

"Blossoms come in spring, Lang Li Grand Lang Li Grand Lang Li Grand..." The slightly older owner of the car whipped up the whip, and the spring breeze greeted his face, singing a song that has been passed down in the village for many years.

"The warm sun shines on my ragged clothes in the sky..." The passengers in the carriage began to hum along, and the singing soon spread to the carriages behind.

The sun shines on the shoulders in the early morning of spring, and the breeze blows the fragrance of flowers.Everyone else sang cheerfully, but Su Mu didn't know what song it was, so he could only shake his head and hum along with everyone.

"Muzi, you don't know what song this is, do you?" Seeing that he doesn't know it at all, the black sister-in-law laughed heartily and said, "It's true that some people in the city don't know it! Speaking of which, this song has been around for a long time. , My mother taught me to sing, she said that she had performed in movies in the countryside before, and those who like to sing will learn to teach everyone to sing.

In our village, there is only one TV in the village head’s house, and there is still no one in nine and a half out of ten days, so we still sing old songs that have been passed down by word of mouth.You listened a lot outside and understood a lot, so you have time to sing a few new songs and teach us!Sing about the flowers and water in the village, the elderly and children love to hear it! "

Su Mu heard them sing one after another, all of them were old songs from many years ago.

If it wasn't for the fact that I drove back from my real experience, I really thought that I had traveled through time for a moment!

It's a pity that there is no way to find "Du Niang" in Huatanao at the moment, otherwise he would immediately check which era the songs sung by the villagers are from.According to this development trend, I am afraid that they have to take time to accept external information, otherwise they are really easy to be frightened by the current rock and heavy metal music.

The jingle bells of the horse, accompanied by the bright singing of the crowd, soon arrived at the side of the wasteland.

"The two of us mowed the grass in front; black sister-in-law, you take two people to check for rocks first, the lawn mower is definitely not as hard as rocks, if it hits it, it will probably be a bad ball, so be careful Alright; others rest for a while, wait for us to mow the weeds, and then you can get back to work!"

Liu Dali jumped out of the car and started to divide the work with a brand new lawn mower in one hand.

After several women poked through the weeds and picked up the stones and rotten wood piles, the two of them adjusted the lawn mower and started mowing grass evenly on the ground.

"This thing is really easy to use!" After trying a few times, Liang Yongkang exclaimed in surprise: "It's much faster than a scythe, and it doesn't require any effort at all, and it cuts neatly! This thing is amazing! Muzi, if you use these two things when harvesting wheat, one person can do the work of several people! No wonder you dare to contract so many lands, and you have a good helper!"
