Chapter 123 Lunch

"I was thinking of transporting it home tomorrow!" Lian Fangzhou smiled, and a few people started working together to remove the firewood from the donkey cart and stacked it in a corner of the yard.

"By the way, can it be cleaned up today?" Lian Fangzhou couldn't help asking.

A Jian thought about it and said, "It shouldn't be possible. I guess I can pull another five or six trucks like this! Tomorrow, some people can continue to clean up, and some can reclaim the land first!"

Lian Fangzhou nodded and said "um".

Lian Ze said: "Sister, should the cattle hired tomorrow come?"

"Yes," Lian Fangzhou said with a smile: "With twelve cattle, do you think the land can be reclaimed in three or four days?"

Lian Fangzhou turned to ask Ah Jian.

A Jian thought for a while, nodded and smiled: "Three days should be enough! However, it may take two or three days to plough the plowed field."

After all, oxen can only plough the ground, and the soil that is plowed is a large piece of soil. If you want to grow crops, you have to break up the large pieces of soil with a hoe and evenly distribute it. Only then can you grow crops.

Because this is a reclaimed wasteland, after ploughing the land, the ground must be leveled immediately, and by the way, all the grass roots and the like can be cleaned out, otherwise the grass roots may relax and immediately grasp the soil firmly.

"I think it's about the same!" Lian Fangzhou nodded with a smile, thinking about whether to hire more people.

She was still thinking, but A Jian had already said, "I'm afraid I'll have to hire a few more people when the ground at Sanchakou comes down."

"I was thinking about this!" Lian Fangzhou said, looking at Jian and smiling.

"Sister, let's go to the field to help too, okay? Brother said that we have to go back and load the car!" Lian Che and Lian Fangqing asked.

Only then did Lian Fangzhou see that the stump and roots of the car had been unloaded. Seeing the eagerness on Lian Che and Lian Fangqing's faces, he looked at Ajian.

The two little guys were very good, and immediately looked at Ajian and begged for a change.

Ah Jian has always been very talkative, so she smiled and said, "Then let's go! Don't be naughty when you get to the ground!"

Lian Che and Lian Fangqing cheered and agreed, and the two of them climbed into the donkey cart giggling.

"Let's go first!" Jian nodded to Lian Fangzhou.

Lian Fangzhou smiled and said "um", went over to help open the courtyard door, and watched them go.

A Jian and the others ran back and forth to the house twice before finishing work. The corner of the yard was already piled up like a hill.

According to Ah Jian's estimation, I'm afraid that if all the land is recovered, there will be two or three more.

In the words of the third aunt, almost all the firewood burned in this year is all there.

But it's not a problem to pile it all up in the yard.

Fortunately, there is a large piece of flat land next to the yard, so Lian Fangzhou agreed with Ah Jian, and the ones that were transported back would be put outside the yard.

After breakfast the next day, Ajian, Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze went to Shishipingdi together.

Today, the workers with oxen and rakes also came. They were talking together. When they saw them, they came forward and called "Master" with a smile.

Lian Fangzhou and Ah Jian made arrangements.

Disperse the oxen and let the oxen lead the ploughing of the flat ground. A field has to be ploughed back and forth twice. As for the places that the oxen could not plough, let the previous people dig with hoes.

Five people were left to continue the clean-up work yesterday. The remaining workers and the workers leading the oxen were divided into several groups as usual, starting from different directions.

He didn't even mention the lunch prepared by the family, the wages were kind and timely, and the big guy was very motivated. After the assignment, he agreed with a smile and took the initiative to do the work.

Ajian and Lian Ze and Lian Fangzhou went to see them separately for a while. Ajian and Lian Ze still carried the cleaned firewood home, while Lian Fangzhou went back first.

There are twelve more people to eat today, and she has to go back to help the third aunt.

Back at home, the third aunt has already mixed the noodles. After waking up, the noodles can be steamed. She is making pancakes. Lian Fangqing was washing vegetables, while Lian Che was helping to set the fire.

Today, both the steamed buns and pancakes have been added by nearly half, which is not a small task.

Seeing Lian Fangzhou's return, the third auntie was quite happy and immediately said: "Fangzhou, there is no big bone soup today, but there is still a little pork belly! Why don't we send cabbage soup at noon today? Put some coriander on it. It's actually pretty good! It's better to have a sip of hot soup on such a cold day than nothing at all!"

Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "Didn't I buy two chickens yesterday? Let's kill them! Don't we still have a lot of dried mushrooms in our house? Stew a pot of thick chicken soup with dried mushrooms and wait for the afternoon. I'll go to the city again and come back with some big bones and meat!"

"What?" Grandma San was surprised to stop the pan in her hand and asked in disbelief, "You said you want to kill chickens?"

"Yeah!" Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "Tick some chicken and chop it up and fry it with pork belly! It's just right, let's have a good meal tonight! We've been exhausted for the past two days!"

The third aunt couldn't help but "Ouch!" and said distressed: "You are really! Look at you prodigal! Those two roosters are so big, I also said, why do you buy roosters well, waste food and can't lay eggs , It turned out to be killed and eaten!"

Lian Fangzhou smiled and said: "If you get old, don't worry about it anymore, I promised that the big guy can't talk, it doesn't count! The work these two days have been done beautifully, and we have saved a lot of hearts! This, it's all It's worth it!"

Grandma San's mouth twitched in disapproval, she didn't think it was worth it.

However, she sighed softly: "Forget it, you said that, what else can I say! Then kill it, burn a pot of hot water, that's fast!"

Lian Fangzhou was amused by the distressed look of Third Aunt's grandmother, who made a "puchi" smile, so he set the fire and added water to the pot.

After the hot water is boiled, the dried mushrooms are poured into the wooden basin and soaked.

Lian Fangqing came over to help, and said with a smile, "Sister, can I pluck the hair on the tail of the rooster to make a shuttlecock?"

What's wrong with this? Lian Fangzhou agreed with a smile, plucking her hair at will before using hot water to remove the hair. Lian Fangqing cheered happily.

Children in the countryside don’t have many things for entertainment. A wood-shaved knife, a small slingshot, a piccolo made of thin bamboo, a top made of wood, and a shuttlecock made of chicken feathers are all good things.

However, it is rare to kill chickens twice a year. It is not easy to get the bright long hair on the tail of the cock. There are also naughty children who catch the big cock and pluck the beautiful long hair on the tail of the chicken. Of course, they cannot escape the meal. Hit destiny.

Obviously, Lian Fangqing and Lian Che would not do such a thing.
