"I understand. I will talk to him nicely." Kang Mingyuan nodded. He considered himself the elder brother of Han Yimo and Qiao Mo and had the responsibility to protect them.
"Tell him that we can provide the formula for chicken feed and methods to prevent fowl plague. If it succeeds, we don't want anything else, just a lighter job." Qiao Mo said softly.
"I know. What are you thinking about? Do you want to go back to the city?"
"To run a chicken farm, you naturally need fodder. I just want a job cutting grass. The more you work, the more you earn, and it's more free. As for going back to the city, forget it. There will be opportunities when the time comes." Qiao Mo said with a smile. It's not that she doesn't want to do heavy work, she just wants to be more free so that she can have more time to go into the mountains.
"Okay." Kang Mingyuan also thought that mowing the lawn was more suitable for Qiao Mo, so he nodded.
That night, Qiao Mo entered the space two hours early. She first went to the back and used a picket to build a fence between the garden and the paddy field. Seeing the empty land, she wanted to plant something while there was still time. At this time, the wheat was not completely dry, and it was too difficult to thresh it. She could only plant corn. Although the corn was not completely dry, it should be okay to use as seeds.
So she found a corn thresher from the kitchen, took out more than ten corns and threshed them first, then went to the back to sow the seeds. According to her plan, she did not stop until both rows of corn were filled.
After planting the corn, it was already late. She went to the wooden house to wash up, then left the space and lay down on the bed to rest.
Qiao Mo felt that the day passed very quickly, as if dawn had come in the blink of an eye. She tried hard to open her eyes, struggled to get up and wash, and then took the chicks and goslings to the river for morning exercises.
The chicks and goslings have gotten used to it. While Qiao Mo runs and practices boxing by the river, they eat grass or play in the water. The scene looks particularly harmonious and warm in the morning light.
Kang Mingyuan watched Qiao Mo beat the Mu family fist until it was completely defenseless. The two chicks seemed to know that it was dangerous for them to be around at this time, and they were pecking at the grass from a distance. The two goslings were foraging and playing in the water, ignoring everything on the opposite shore.
When she finished practicing Mu family boxing and was about to practice military boxing, Kang Mingyuan walked towards her, stood beside her and practiced military boxing with her. After the two of them finished practicing military boxing, Qiao Mo went back to practice their family's heirloom martial art, Kang family boxing.
The next few days are for harvesting peanuts. The land here is mostly compacted, and the peanuts cannot be pulled out, so they have to be dug with a hoe. Generally, one person digs in front and one person picks up in the back, and by the way, they throw off the soil stuck to the peanuts. Then they bundle the peanut seedlings and carry them back to the threshing ground in front of the warehouse, where the old, weak, women and children of the team are waiting to pick peanuts. The picked peanuts can be dried in the threshing ground.
Just like in the early days, in order to improve efficiency, the team leader still divided the tasks, and the educated youth were still divided into a group. Several peanut fields on the eastern slope of the mountain were their task for a week. No matter how long they took, they were only given a few work points for a week. Correspondingly, they completed the task ahead of schedule, and the remaining time was theirs to use as they pleased.
Another requirement for digging peanuts is that you cannot dig too many peanuts and they cannot be crushed, nor can you leave too many peanuts behind, otherwise your work points will be deducted according to the quantity.
Qiao Mo and ten other people went up Dongshan together with hoes, ropes and shoulder poles. After arriving at the site, they lined up and started digging peanuts.
Usually men dig in front and women pick up in the back, but Qiao Mo has spiritual awareness and can ensure that the peanuts are dug out intact, so she switched with Han Yimo. She and Kang Mingyuan, Shao Lidong, Wang Jiaming, Wu Shudong, and Chu Maoshen dug in the front, while Han Yimo and Chen Ran, Hua Mingli, and Tang Xinmei picked up in the back.
