The Country Life of a Rich Dad

Chapter 131: Open the floodgates

"Daddy!"

Li Beiwu opened her arms immediately when she saw Li Chen coming in after washing up.

Since Li Nanfei came, the little girl has become more active.

Li Chen caught the little girl, picked her up with one hand, and kissed her, which made Li Beiwu giggle.

As for Li Nanfei, who was sitting by the bed, he seemed very quiet, like a handsome man.

"Go find your brother to play, Daddy will blow your hair."

"Okay!" Li Beiwu nodded obediently and pounced on Li Nanfei.

Li Nanfei still avoided him with disgust.

After Li Chen finished blowing his hair, Li Beiwu immediately came over and lay on Li Chen's legs, not knowing what she was doing alone.

"Xiaowu, get ready for bed."

"Oh!"

Li Beiwu crawled over and lay in Li Chen's arms, while Li Nanfei was pushed into the corner by her.

Li Nanfei glared at Li Beiwu, snorted, and decided not to bother with his stupid sister.

...

Early morning.

When Li Chen got up, the sky had become cooler.

I wonder if it's going to rain?

But it looks like it won't rain today, but tomorrow is not certain.

It was a little dark early in the morning.

A lot of people had already gathered near Li Chen's house.

This was agreed yesterday, and the fields had to be cleared today.

This is a big project.

Li Chen looked at these villagers who got up early, and without any nonsense, he asked them to clean up the fields, harvest what should be harvested, and cultivate what should be cultivated.

Li Chen still handed over the coordination and planning of the matter to Li Peng, Li Jianhua and Li Shanfu.

Each of them was responsible for an area, so that efficiency could be maximized.

After all the fields were cleaned up, Li Chen prepared to plant flowers.

So many flower seeds, if planted, must be very beautiful.

Moreover, flowers have a wide range of uses and can open up a series of industrial chains.

Li Chen plans to create a sea of ​​flowers here, so that the entire Lijia Village will be famous in the city, the province, and even the country and the world!

"Li Chen!"

At this time, Uncle Wang from the village also came over.

Their family is a big cattle-raising family in the village, all of them are buffaloes and yellow cattle!

The fields contracted by Li Chen today, when there is no mechanized operation, will rely on these cattle to work.

"Uncle Wang!" Li Chen hurried forward and handed Uncle Wang a cigarette.

In such a remote place, cattle are the biggest productivity.

In addition to Uncle Wang, the other uncles in the village all came with their own cattle and tools.

At this time, in front of Li Chen's house, it was particularly lively.

Looking at so many people, Li Chen stopped talking nonsense and shouted loudly: "I'll trouble you all to work hard today. I will prepare food for noon, and everyone will come to eat together!"

"Okay!"

"Let's go!" Li Peng and Li Jianhua have now become small foremen.

As for Li Shanfu, he mainly helps Li Chen contact people.

Now the division of labor among them is becoming more and more clear.

Looking at the mighty team, all walking towards the fields, it was very lively, and this scene was still rare.

Only during the busy farming season and the double harvest season, you can almost see the scene of people everywhere in the fields.

Because this field is now contracted to Li Chen, and it is still for 30 years, so during this period, Li Chen is the owner.

"Go and notify the people above to let them open the gate to release water!"

"Okay!"

Now, the land is very dry. If you want to plow all the land, you really have to release water!

People have been sent to the reservoir to stay.

"Clear the ditch, clear the ditch!"

With shouts, everyone in the village who can work now began to pick up sickles and hoes to work.

Reservoir water release is a big deal. Now that it doesn't rain, the only water that can be used is the water in the reservoir.

The reservoir on the Lijia Village side is very large, at least thousands of acres in area, but it is an irregular shape, surrounding the mountain.

"Puh!"

Some people spat on their palms, raised their hoes and started digging the ditch.

Basically, the gates are opened to release water only in summer, and the ditch cannot be used at other times.

This makes the ditch enough to be flooded by all kinds of crazy growing plants within a year.

The ditch, which was originally very deep, is now full of rotten branches and leaves.

When the villagers uncovered these things, all kinds of strange insects appeared.

"Centipede, centipede!"

"Catch it, dry it and sell it for money later."

Many people are catching it, but some people don't know how to catch centipedes, and they scream in pain when they are bitten on the spot.

Although the centipede is only that big, if you are really pinched by it, it will hurt you for a few days.

"I told you not to mess around, go away!"

"Hurry up and apply some medicinal wine, otherwise you won't be able to sleep tonight."

Some of the older generation scolded, and the young man left in disgrace.

Centipede is also one of the important medicinal materials.

Every year, people come to the village to collect centipedes.

And centipedes are not cheap at all. As long as their two pincers are broken, the centipede will not pose much threat.

After returning home, cut some bamboo and cut it into long bamboo strips with pointed ends.

Then pierce the centipede from the abdomen at both ends, stretch the centipede straight, and put it in the sun to dry.

Although catching this thing is risky, the price of centipedes is not cheap.

This is why many people in the village like to catch it and sell it for money!

The area around the ditch was cleaned up in an instant. It was no longer recognizable as a ditch, but now it is reappearing in front of everyone.

The ditch is winding and very long.

Li Chen is willing to spend money, so everyone in the village who wants to make money has come now.

Even the people of Zhoujiawan asked to join the work camp.

Although the villagers don’t like Zhoujiawan, no one said anything this time.

After all, this is a huge project. The more people there are, the faster everyone will work.

Until the outlet under the reservoir, there are people working in almost all areas.

There is strength in numbers, and the speed of cleaning is also fast.

Weeds, weeds, stones, etc., anything that may hinder the water flow has been cleared out.

The yellow and red soil is exposed outside, and the weeds on both sides have been cleared away.

It looks particularly clean and comfortable.

"Have you finished cleaning?" Li Shanfu almost trotted along the wide ditch, all the way up.

"All done!"

"Done!"

Every villager standing around the ditch was sweating.

They hadn't experienced this kind of rush-to-work work for a long time.

Li Shanfu ran all the way to the reservoir outlet, and saw Zhou Jiang was there, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"I'm here to help too." Zhou Jiang saw Li Shanfu's doubts and laughed.

After all, there is money to be made for work, and it's not cheap. Staying at home is definitely not as good as working here.

"Then the outlet is left to you. I will tell Li Chen about your coming to work!"

"Okay, okay!" Zhou Jiang agreed quickly.

If you didn't see it with your own eyes, who would dare to believe that Zhou Jiang, the village bully, was so easy to talk to.
