Old Mrs. Chu patted her pockets and said, "Grandma, you have money in your pocket and a mouth under your nose. How can you starve yourself? Besides, Yanfang is not going either. The two of them and I still have company. You can rest assured."
Yao Xiuli looked around and found that Wang Yanfang was not there, so she asked curiously, "What's wrong with Yanfang? Why didn't she go? Is she feeling unwell? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Old Mrs. Chu just smiled and said nothing.
Yao Xiujuan leaned close to Yao Xiuli and whispered a few words, and Yao Xiuli understood immediately, "That means you should get more rest..."
After seeing off the group of people who were going out for a walk, Old Mrs. Chu locked the gate of the courtyard and walked back to the room where Wang Yanfang was resting.
"Yanfang, how are you? Are you still feeling bad?"
Wang Yanfang was lying on the kang. When she heard the sound, she opened her eyes and looked at Old Lady Chu. She nodded with a pale face, "Grandma, my stomach hurts..."
Old Madam Chu came forward and sat on the edge of the kang. She reached under the quilt and gently rubbed her belly, scolding her, "Look at you, you're eighteen or nineteen years old, how come you didn't even know your period was coming? And you were playing in the water with Xinxin and the others yesterday?"
Wang Yanfang blinked her eyes and said aggrievedly, "Grandma, this is my first time here, I don't know..."
Mrs. Chu paused, "First time here?"
"Um···"
Wang Yanfang nodded.
Old Mrs. Chu sighed, "It hurt so much the first time, what are you going to do in the future?"
Wang Yanfang's face paled when she heard this. "Great-grandmother, do you mean it will still hurt in the future?"
"If you don't take good care of it, it will definitely hurt..."
After a pause, Mrs. Chu comforted her again, "But don't worry, there is an old Chinese doctor in your aunt's family. He is very good at treating gynecological diseases. Your cousin Xinxin also felt pain when she had her first period. After drinking Chinese medicine for a few months, she is much better now..."
"When we get back, I'll ask your aunt to take you there."
"good···"
A few days later in Xinjiang, Chu Tian arrived at the company and saw Chu Jun sitting on the first floor chatting with Chu Min. He walked over with a look of surprise and asked, "Brother, why are you here?"
When Chu Jun saw Chu Tian coming, he stood up and said with a smile, "I came to see you..."
"Well, let's go upstairs and talk..."
When they came upstairs, Chu Tian personally poured another cup of tea for Chu Jun and placed it in front of him. When he was about to pour it for Chu Min, Chu Min stopped him.
"Brother, I'm not thirsty, don't pour it for me."
Chu Tian nodded, put down the thermos and sat opposite Chu Jun, "Brother, you didn't come here just to see me and my second brother, right?"
Chu Jun nodded, "I'm here to tell you some good news..."
"What good news?"
Chu Min found it funny. He had been chatting with Chu Jun on the first floor for almost half an hour, but Chu Jun didn't reveal a word and insisted on waiting for Chu Tian to come before talking.
Chu Jun smiled brightly. "A few days ago, the captain went to a meeting at the regiment headquarters. At the meeting, he said that the state has officially announced the implementation of the household contract responsibility system, and from now on there will be no more so-called shared labor and shared gains."
"The team leader has been busy dividing up the land for everyone for the past few days, and only finished it yesterday. Everyone whose household registration is still in the team has been allocated 40 mu of land. Except for Daya, whose household registration is at the university and who doesn't own any land, the rest of our family of five has been allocated a total of 200 mu of land!"
Chu Tian had known for a long time that the country would distribute land to each household in 1981, but he still looked surprised like Chu Min and congratulated him.
"Brother, congratulations, two hundred acres of land is really a lot."
Chu Jun chuckled foolishly, "Not much, not much. Our brigade didn't get much. I heard that the first company reclaimed the most wasteland in our regiment. It is said that each person got nearly 50 mu..."
After saying that, Chu Jun looked at Chu Tian and Chu Min with a look of pity, "It's a pity that your two families' household registrations are no longer in the brigade, otherwise you would definitely have been able to get a lot of land..."
Chu Tian smiled and waved his hands, "Even if we split up, we won't stay in the brigade to farm. Brother, we are different. You can calm down, but we can't..."
Chu Min nodded in agreement, "My little brother is right."
After a pause, Chu Min asked curiously, "By the way, you have divided the land now, but what about the grain on the land? How do you calculate it?"
Chu Jun took a sip of water and explained, "Ah, the crops in the fields? They must still belong to the brigade. We've just divided the land first, and the crops in the fields will still be paid as public grain this year!"
"However, after we handed in the rest this time, the team leader said that the team would no longer keep any emergency food. It would all be divided equally among everyone. From now on, each household will find their own food to eat. There will no longer be the opportunity to borrow from the team next year if there is not enough food..."
Chu Tian nodded and asked again, "Brother, then you can only cultivate the land you have been allocated?"
Chu Jun was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Chu Min explained with a smile, "I want to ask you, in addition to the land you have been allocated, can you contract some more wasteland..."
Chu Jun said "Oh" and waved his hand, "Each household here basically has about 200 mu of land. Families with more people have been allocated 300 to 400 mu. If we can take good care of these lands, we'll be lucky. Where else can we find extra hands to clean up the wasteland?"
"Besides, it takes several years to cultivate wasteland, and the initial harvest is too small, so it's not cost-effective..."
Chu Min looked at Chu Tian's meaningful smile and interrupted him, "Brother, I advise you to ask the team leader if you can contract the land."
Chu Tian continued, "It would be better to ask if you can contract it with money!"
Chu Min nodded, "Yes, it's best to contract with money, especially if you say it's good. If the income from the wasteland is not good in the first few years, can the contract fee be waived?"
Chu Tian smiled and said, "Also, the contract period must be longer, the longer the better, such as thirty years, forty years..."
"etc···"
Chu Jun was stunned and quickly waved his hand to interrupt them. "What are you two talking about? Why should I contract wasteland when I'm fine? And in 30 or 40 years? How old will I be in 30 or 40 years? How will I still be able to farm?"
Chu Tian chuckled, "Brother, you don't want to farm for the rest of your life, do you?"
Chu Jun glared, "What else? Doing business with you? Forget it, I won't... and my Qingkang's health is not good, your sister-in-law and I are not at ease to go out and do business..."
"Also, since you don't want me to farm for the rest of my life, why do you want me to contract wasteland?"
Chu Tian smiled and shook his head, "Brother, I suggested that you contract the land because I wanted you to build a farm. Then you can hire people to work there. I didn't want you to contract the wasteland to grow crops..."
Chu Jun didn't understand. "Farm? Raising rabbits? But, our brigade has a rabbit farm..."
Chu Tian, "..."
Chu Jun wailed, "Brother, is your brain just a decoration? Why can't you use it for a bit? Can the farm only raise rabbits?"
Chu Army, "..."
