35-year-old Jiang Li was unmarried and childless, running her own small company with an annual income of several million, living a wonderful life.
19-year-old Jiang Li was pretty but brainles...
"So our family can get four acres of land?"
"Yes, although your two children are young, they still count as two heads!"
Aunt Yao lowered her voice and spoke in Jiang Li's ear, and she also whispered something in passing.
"I see your uncle has been living in your house for a long time. Go back and ask him if he's not planning on leaving, and transfer his household registration here. That way, you can get a little more land!"
"this……"
Jiang Li had never thought about this problem. Although he really hoped that his uncle would stay and live with them, his uncle would have to marry and have children in the future, so it was impossible for him to stay with them forever.
"It's okay if you don't move here. I'll just register it with you in name only. I'll try to get you a bigger share of the land!"
Aunt Yao is particularly concerned about Jiang Li and has considered every aspect for her. In the final analysis, she is worried that Jiang Li will suffer losses due to her young age and ignorance.
"Auntie, is it really okay to do this?"
"Don't worry, your aunt is here."
Aunt Yao patted her chest and promised, and Jiang Li nodded.
Aunt Yao's family has almost absolute status in the village. Aunt Yao has personally guaranteed it, so what else can she doubt?
Following Aunt Yao in line, it was soon Jiang Li's turn.
Following Aunt Yao's suggestion, Jiang Li chose a piece of land near the back of their house.
Although the land is remote, it is very fertile and is one of the rare black soils in the village.
The most important thing is that it is close, just a few steps away, and it is convenient to take care of it every day.
Aunt Yao has always been very nice to her, and Jiang Li trusts her very much.
After registering in the village and dividing the land, you can go back to reclaim the land.
As long as the size is strictly controlled according to the allocated location, there will be no problem.
Village cadres were holding a loudspeaker and constantly promoting that they would develop as much as they were allocated, and if they developed too much, the crops grown would need to be handed over to the village.
Just this one policy immediately blocks the mentality of those who are greedy for bargains.
No one wants to have the crops they have worked so hard to grow confiscated, so it is best to stay within the law and take good care of your own little piece of land.
As soon as Jiang Li got home, he called his brother over and said, "Jiang Yi, let's go to work!"
"Sister, what are you doing?"
Jiang Li quickly told her about the land distribution in the village. "From now on, our family will have our own land. We can grow whatever crops and vegetables we want."
"That's great!"
Jiang Yi quickly put down his pen. Despite his small stature, he held a big hoe. Jiang Yi easily carried the hoe and ran out first.
As soon as Jiang Yi went out, Shen Changan happened to go out. Seeing the brother and sister each carrying a hoe and smiling brightly, Shen Changan hurriedly followed them.
"What good thing happened? Why do you all look so happy?"
Jiang Yi is usually very low-key at school, but he wants to share everything with Teacher Shen. He quickly repeated what his sister said.
"Teacher Shen, let's go to open up the wasteland first."
"I'll go too. I just want to exercise today and help you guys clear the wasteland."
Shen Changan said without changing his expression, and Jiang Li knew that he wanted to help him again.
Shen Changan took the hoe from Jiang Yi's shoulder and ordered him to get Jiang Li's hoe.
"This hoe is too big for you to wield. Go get your sister's smaller one. Jiang Li, let us men do the farm work. Just stay home and take care of the children."
"Sister, why don't you go back? It's just a small job for the two of us."
Jiang Yi also felt sorry for his sister and didn't want her to do hard labor.
"Okay, I'll go tell you about the location first, so you don't open up the wrong place."
Jiang Li insisted on taking them to the place, and then made a square with stones to mark the scope for them.
"This land belongs to us. Just work hard. I'll go back first."
Jiang Li was still busy after she returned. She planned to buy some seeds. After cultivating the land today, she could sow the seeds tomorrow.
"Uncle, the land was divided today. I'm going down to buy some seeds. Can you help me look after the two children?"
As soon as Jiang Li finished speaking, Zhang Guocai suddenly looked up. He immediately put down the work in his hands, turned around and walked out.
"You take care of the kids while I buy the seeds."
"Uncle! You don't know what kind of seeds I want yet, let me write it down for you!"
Jiang Li saw that his uncle ran faster than a rabbit when he heard that he had to take care of the child. It was obvious that he was tortured by the child and was afraid of the child now.
Jiang Li wrote down all the types and quantities of seeds he wanted on a piece of paper, and also needed to buy some farm tools and fertilizers.
Zhang Guocai took the note and went out like a gust of wind, as if if he ran slower, the task of taking care of the child would fall on him.
Everyone was busy. Jiang Li first changed the children's diapers and fed them, and then started preparing lunch.
Shen Changan brought a lot of fresh meat last time. After processing, some of the meat became dried steamed pork with rice flour, some became bacon, and some was chopped up and pickled by her. Now that the weather is still a bit cold, there is absolutely no problem in preserving it for two or three days.
After Jiang Li left, Shen Changan began to arrange the land into several plots according to the marked range.
Whether you are growing vegetables or crops, you must leave an aisle in the middle, otherwise it will be inconvenient to sow, weed or water later.
Shen Changan had never done these farm work before. After coming to the village, he often watched everyone work and gradually summed up some methods.
He had previously studied the spacing between each piece of land, and how to ensure that no land was wasted while growing more vegetables and grains.
Now Shen Changan has divided this large piece of land into more than a dozen small parts based on the most scientific ratio.
He drew the size of each piece of land and the distance between the aisles, and then began construction.
"Jiang Yi, how about we have a competition to see who can work faster and better?"
Shen Changan felt that it was too boring to work alone, so he thought of the method of competition.
"Okay, but I'm good at farm work, and Teacher Shen has never farmed before. Is this possible?"
“You’ll know if it works after you give it a try.”
The two men started working from opposite sides, and there was a great distance between them that neither could see the other without craning their necks.
Both of them were very competitive, so they lowered their heads and started working hard.
The weather today was neither too hot nor too cold and very comfortable. Shen Changan's back was soaked with sweat after just a short while of work.
He unbuttoned his coat and threw it aside, and Jiang Yi followed suit.
The two of them took off everything except their cotton sweaters and rolled up their sleeves.
"Jiang Yi, are you ready? This time it's officially about to begin!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Shen. I'm always ready. If you lose later, don't try to act like a teacher and show off to me!"
Jiang Yi is also a smart kid. Although he is not sure whether he can win, he still speaks out the ugly words in advance.
"Don't worry, you can't beat me. Let's get started. I'm going to work!"
