"Ruanruan, let's go look behind and find two pieces of land next to each other. It's best if we can open it this afternoon and plant it tomorrow." Xiao Chengjin said.
Spring plowing waits for no one. Plant the day earlier and you will receive the goods the day earlier.
Su Ruanruan also understood this and immediately agreed, and the two of them ran back hand in hand.
Seeing this, the four brothers Su Laixi also ran behind. Not long after, the four sisters from the Xiao family also came.
The originally empty wasteland suddenly became lively because of the presence of these ten children.
When Xiao Yougen and Su Cangshan led the village chief over, they saw such a scene.
The village chief is in his forties, literate, has high prestige in the village, and is very effective in speaking.
This wasteland has been here for who knows how many years and is of no use at all. Now the Su family and Xiao family are willing to buy some planting things. Even if the price is not high, it can be regarded as adding a little benefit to the village. Of course, there is no unwillingness in the village. of.
Not long after the three of them stood there, several elders from the village came over.
Everyone measured the land together with steps, and then marked the four corners with wooden sticks. The two pieces of land changed from wasteland to land with owners.
Su Ruanruan had been watching from the side and knew that the piece of land bought by the Su family cost exactly 63 yuan.
Su Ruoruan felt that it wasn't that the land was just worth that much money, but that Su Cangshan was the land that could be bought with that much money.
But it's okay. The land belonging to the Su family really has sixty-seven points.
Although the Su family has lost a penny as a result, it won't be long before the Su family has money.
Su Ruanruan could think about it, but Su Cangshan couldn't.
I spent all the copper I had at home to buy wasteland, and I didn’t know how much income these seedlings could bring.
Seeing that the grass in his field was getting taller and taller day by day, he didn't want to waste any time, so Su Cangshan said to Su Laifu, "Laifu, lead your brothers to remove the grass in this field, and wait for me to do the rest." Let’s do it when we come back, and we’ll try to plant all the seedlings tomorrow.”
On the other side, Xiao Yougen was also giving these instructions to his eldest daughter.
After a while, the adults of the Su family and the Xiao family went to the fields with hoes on their shoulders. Only the children were left on these two wastelands.
Su Ruoran didn't want to wait until tomorrow to plant seedlings. Who knew if the seedlings would die overnight
There aren't many seedlings to begin with. If some more seedlings really die, it will be really heartbreaking.
"Brother, let's pull the weeds quickly." Su Ruanruan said to Su Laifu.
Even if you really want to plant it today, you have to pull out all the grass first.
There are a lot of weeds on the wasteland, and there are also some wild vegetables, but the larger ones have been dug up by the children in the village, and the remaining ones are smaller.
It’s just that no one will dislike it.
Besides, the smaller the wild vegetables are, the more tender and delicious they are!
This afternoon, Su Ruanruan didn't say a few words to Xiao Chengjin. Everyone was squatting on the ground pulling weeds.
The older children used the small shovels at home to weed.
For example, the three little ones, Su Ruanruan, Xiao Chengjin, and Su Laixi, only have one thick piece of bamboo each.
For Su Ruanruan, this piece of bamboo was better than nothing. Fortunately, she was strong, otherwise she wouldn't be able to dig out the soil with the piece of bamboo, let alone dig out the grass roots.
Children from farm families are sensible early, and they don’t act cunningly while working.
In addition, each family only had six or seven points of land, so it took more than an hour to clear away the weeds and stones on the ground surface.
