Chapter 946: A Dream (27)
"Ruanruan, let's go to the back and find two adjacent plots of land. It would be best if we can open them up this afternoon and plant them tomorrow." Xiao Chengjin said.
Spring plowing does not wait for anyone. The earlier you plant, the earlier you can harvest.
Su Ruanruan also understood this logic, and agreed immediately. The two of them ran back hand in hand.
Seeing this, Su Laixi's three brothers also ran to the back. Not long after, the four sisters of the Xiao family also arrived.
The originally empty wasteland suddenly became lively because of these ten children.
This was the scene that Xiao Yougen and Su Cangshan saw when they brought the village chief over.
The village chief is in his forties, literate, has a high reputation in the village, and his words are very effective.
This wasteland has been here for who knows how many years and is of no use at all. Now the Su family and the Xiao family are willing to buy it and plant some crops on it. Even if the price is not high, it will add some benefit to the village. Of course, no one in the village is unwilling to do so.
The three of them stood there for a while before several elders from the village came over.
Everyone measured the land with their steps, and then marked the four corners with wooden sticks. The two plots of land were then changed from wasteland to owned land.
Su Ruanruan had been watching from the side and knew that the land purchased by the Su family was exactly sixty-three cents.
Su Runrun felt that it was not that the land was worth so much money, but that Su Cangshan bought the land for so much money.
But it’s okay, the Su family actually owns about six or seven percent of the land.
Although the Su family became penniless again, it would not be long before they were rich again.
Su Ruanruan is open-minded, but Su Cangshan is not.
I used all the money I had in the family to buy the wasteland, and I don’t know how much income these seedlings can bring.
Seeing that the grass in his own field was getting taller day by day, he didn't want to waste any time, so Su Cangshan said to Su Laifu, "Laifu, you lead your brothers to remove the grass in this field, and I will deal with the rest when I come back. Let's try to plant all the seedlings tomorrow."
On the other side, Xiao Yougen was also giving the same instructions to his eldest daughter.
After a while, the adults from the Su and Xiao families carried hoes and went to the fields, leaving only the children on the two pieces of wasteland.
Su Ruanruan didn't want to wait until tomorrow to plant the seedlings. Who knew if some of them would die overnight? There weren't many seedlings to begin with. If some more died, she would be heartbroken.
"Brother, let's pull out 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 weeds first.
There were a lot of weeds on the wasteland, as well as some wild vegetables, but the larger ones had been dug up by the children in the village, and the remaining ones were relatively small.
It’s just that no one will dislike it.
Besides, the smaller the wild vegetables are, the fresher and more delicious they are! This afternoon, Su Ruanruan didn't say a few words to Xiao Chengjin. Everyone squatted on the ground and pulled weeds.
The older children used the small shovels at home to weed.
For example, the three younger ones, Su Runrun, Xiao Chengjin and Su Laixi, each had only one thick bamboo piece.
For Su Runruan, this bamboo piece is better than nothing. Fortunately, she is very strong, otherwise she would not be able to dig the soil with the bamboo piece, let alone dig out the grass roots.
Children from farming families are sensible at an early age and will not cheat or slack off when doing their work.
In addition, each family only had six or seven acres of land, so it took more than an hour to clear all the weeds and stones on the ground surface.
