Fulai Village was once again caught up in a per capita land reclamation campaign, with people of all ages involved.

As there is still half a month before the rice harvest, everyone hurried to get busy and do as much as they can, so as to avoid the situation where there is no land to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes after they are grown, which would be a disaster.

Each household in the village was allocated two mu of sandy fields, but they have not yet chosen to buy more. On the one hand, they do not have cattle or tools, and on the other hand, they are too busy to handle the work.

The family already has sand fields and rice fields, and some families are still taking over the Liu family's work. They really can't be separated.

The Liu family hired many people to open up wasteland through the introduction of 19 long-term workers.

The village chief simply registered them and took them to try out for work.

Just like before, it's a one-day trial. If you are too lazy and want to cheat, don't come.

35 cents a day, one meal is included at noon, and you can get off work around 5 pm.

Go home early. It takes about half an hour to walk back. Just get to Sha Tin before 7:00 in the morning.

After a trial day, a few people were eliminated. On the second day, 80 people officially arrived.

The family had four adult oxen, and they borrowed a plow and hoe from the county government. They went straight to reclaim 300 mu of sandy fields.

Liu Yuhan calculated that there were nearly 100,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes left. He gave half of them to the Huo family, and the remaining half could be used to plant about 260 acres.

The 90 acres of sandy fields that were reclaimed before were not used to plant anything, plus nearly 60 acres were planted with sweet potatoes and potatoes. It would be enough to reclaim about 100 acres first. After all, there are still nearly 200 acres that need to be composted, and the previous 60 acres also need to be rebuilt, which is a huge project.

Seeing that they did not have enough oxen and manpower, Mrs. Wu said a few words to Huo Er, and Huo Er took Huo Jiu away. The next day, Huo Er and Huo Jiu pulled 10 ox carts over, and there were 80 people and tools sitting on the 10 ox carts.

"Madam, is this too much trouble for you?"

"Xiao Han, don't be polite with me. The rice hasn't been harvested yet, and these people are idle anyway. The people in the Huo family farm can use them without worry. Even if my eldest grandson were here, he would agree with me."

"The Huo family also needs to prepare at least 230 mu of land to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes. Breeding will begin in seven days. Do they know this?"

"Don't worry, Huo Er has already given instructions. They will be able to get the land."

"That's great. I'll trouble you, Madam. We'll cover the food, lodging, and wages for these people."

"No need for wages. Huo Er has already said hello to Village Chief Lin. Their luggage is all over there. They will live there for the next few days, but I may need to trouble you for meals."

"That's okay. I have several large pots in my workshop. You have been a great help to me."

"Silly girl, don't keep thanking me. I should thank you. Look at Xiaobei, he's getting more energetic. It's all thanks to you and your family."

"He'll get better and better."

The tofu shop owned by the village chief uncle has stopped selling tofu these days. It only supplies to the villagers and the Liu family, and selling to them alone is enough.

Liu Shinan drove a horse-drawn carriage to the county town and the town to buy food, noodles and vegetables. At noon, there were nearly 200 people eating. In the morning and evening, there were also about 100 people eating. The daily consumption was huge.

Liu Shinan brought Xu Fugui and Liu Laizi with him.

Their family consisted of only one mother and one father, and they only planted one mu of rice. Neither family had any sandy fields to plant, but each family was allocated three mu of sandy fields, one of which had already been cleared but not planted.

They thought that whoever wanted to plant could do so, and they planned to cook and eat the sweet potatoes and potatoes they were given.

Similar to these two families was the widow Sun's family, who had only a mother-in-law and a weak son. However, she planted one acre of rice and one acre of sand field.

In addition to managing these fields, she also planted some vegetables in the courtyard where she lived. She and her mother-in-law would bring their children to help the Liu family pick wild flowers and sell them to earn money. She would also go when the Liu family needed people to reclaim wasteland. As a woman, she was unable to reclaim the two acres of sandy fields that were allocated to her.

As a result, none of the Sha Tins owned by these three families were reclaimed because none of them were proactive when the Sha Tins were divided, so the Sha Tins owned by these three families were finally divided into one place.

Liu Yuhan learned about the situation and asked the three of them for their opinions. He said he could help them reclaim the sandy fields. If they didn't want to farm, the Liu family would farm them and give them some of the harvest when it came. Naturally, the three families were perfectly willing.

Xu Fugui and Liu Laizi are employees of their family and she is willing to give this benefit.

As for Widow Sun, she admired this woman. She occasionally listened to her grandmother and aunt gossiping about their daily lives. They sighed that Widow Sun was only 19 years old, but she wanted to do everything like a man.

What is most admirable is that although Widow Sun has a hot temper, she never complains, is very filial to her mother-in-law, and never has any scandals with single men in the village.

Some old ladies in the village wanted to introduce her to a man to marry, but she refused. Isn't this a model of an inspirational rural woman in modern times?

Widow Sun lived across an uninhabited courtyard from Liu Laizi's house. Neighbors are commonplace.

Sometimes when Widow Sun was carrying very heavy things, Liu Laizi would secretly help her when he saw her. Widow Sun would be so angry that she would laugh when she saw Liu Laizi's sneaky behavior.

This bastard, if he wants to help others, then he should help them. He is not stealing from anyone, so why is he doing it so secretly?!

Could it be that he was just like in the cave, afraid that one more glance from a woman would ruin his innocence? It was hilarious to think of Liu Laizi refusing to take off his clothes to apply the medicine.

However, seeing that he and his silly mother often brought food to her little son, Widow Sun felt grateful to them.

If there were clothes that needed mending, they would help mend them privately. In ancient times, this could be considered a very intimate act. If it was between unmarried men and women, it could be considered a private exchange. But who could blame Liu Laizi for not having anyone to teach him? Alas!

Sometimes when Liu Laizi had to go to a place farther away from the county town, Widow Sun's mother-in-law would bring his mother to their home.

Widow Sun's mother-in-law thought too much. She even had an idea: why not bring the two together?

Liu Laizi has changed and is helping the Liu family. He will definitely have a bright future.

Her grandson is still young and needs a father, and her grandson does not reject this uncle. Her daughter-in-law is still young and has suffered a lot in recent years. The family cannot be without a man. They become a family, and she can also help take care of Liu Laizi's mother openly.

The more Widow Sun's mother-in-law thought about it, the more she felt it was feasible. She decided to find Old Lady Jiang when she had time and ask her to help find out what Liu Laizi was saying.
