Chapter 288 Ling Family Lingyun
Juanjuan immediately agreed with a smile, but they didn't have the tools at the moment.
When he was about to go find tools, Ling Yun had already arrived with his wife and children, each of them carrying a small bag.
"Commander-in-Chief, Master Jiu, we're done."
Miao Jiu nodded and called to the two children: "Juanjuan, Achen, it's time for us to go!"
"Ah! Are we leaving now?" Juanjuan's little face wrinkled like a bitter gourd.
"What's wrong? You don't want to leave!" Siming walked up to them and asked with a smile.
"Dad, I still want to dig bugs with my brother." Juanjuan said a little listlessly.
"What are you digging up bugs for? To feed the chicks?" The first thing Siming thought of was the chicks at home.
"You can't eat them anymore. If you eat more, they'll almost roll out while walking." Mrs. Si felt a headache when she thought of the increasingly plump cats at home.
I have to find a way to control their diet when I get back, otherwise if this continues, I'm afraid they will get sick.
"No, it's not for the chicks, it's for the birds." Juanjuan said immediately.
"Why give it to the bird?" Miao Jiu looked at him strangely.
"I want it to help deliver a letter to Brother Mayang." Juanjuan answered seriously.
"Miss, you can also dig up earthworms in the wasteland over there, maybe more than here." Ling Yun said to her with a smile.
"Really?" Juanjuan's eyes lit up.
"Yeah." Ling Yun nodded with a smile.
"Then let's go dig bugs in the wasteland." Juanjuan instantly revived with full health and pulled Si Jinchen away: "Brother, let's go quickly."
Mrs. Si shook her head helplessly and got into the car behind them.
It was the first time for the Lingyun family to ride in a vintage car. They were a little nervous and restrained. They sat up straight and held everything in their arms tightly for fear of dirtying the car.
Hu Zi was sitting in the driver's seat. Seeing Ling Yun sitting in the passenger seat, he smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. The car won't get dirty. Relax."
"Oh! Okay!" Ling Yun slowly relaxed when he saw that it was Hu Zi driving.
"I also come from a poor family. There are many children in my family and I can't support them all, so I sold myself to the Miao family and followed Master Jiu."
"My family is reclaiming wasteland. I'd like to ask you to take care of them a little more in the future, but don't take extra care of them."
"Master Jiu doesn't like to keep idle people. I just hope that if they are sick or in trouble, you can just pass on a message to me."
Hu Zi told him some of his things as if he was chatting.
"Brother Huzi, don't you hate your family?" Ling Yun looked at him strangely.
"I don't hate it. If it can support myself, everyone would sell themselves for no reason." Hu Zi is very open-minded.
Their family is not that kind of family, and selling himself was the path he chose.
Compared to those families who sold their daughters, he would rather sell himself so that his family can survive.
The girl can be sold for a good price, but it is not a good place after all.
Although he sold it, his life and death were his own, but at least his family members could survive. As for his own life, it would be gone at any time.
He has saved a lot of money over the years. When he is gone one day, I believe Jiu Ye will treat his family well.
Ling Yun didn't say anything, but just looked at the scenery in front of the window and thought about the situation in Jingzhou City.
Those people were not unable to survive, but they sold their wives, daughters and families for a puff of opium.
A good family ended up with the wife and children separated and the body lying dead on the street.
He was now extremely grateful that he had chosen Beiyang City instead of other towns.
The distance between fertile fields and wasteland is not far, and it only takes about ten minutes to drive there.
This place is now being looked after by Miao Jiu's men. They don't know anything about farming, they just watch everyone work and don't let them slack off.
They sat by themselves under a tree, setting up a table with peanuts, melon seeds and some drinks on it.
"Master Jiu, Commander-in-Chief."
Miao Jiu looked at the things on their table and looked at them with a half-smile: "You guys are living a more comfortable life than me."
This made them feel uneasy, and they didn't know what Jiu Ye meant by this.
"Master Jiu, we are just free. We don't know how to do farm work and have never done it, so..." The voices of the few people became smaller and smaller as they spoke.
"No, you don't know how to learn? Do you still need me to teach you?" Miao Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at them.
"No, no, no, we'll go learn right away." Several people pushed each other and were about to leave.
"Wait." Miao Jiu stopped them.
"Master Jiu, do you have any instructions?" Several people immediately stood up obediently.
Miao Jiu pointed at Ling Yun's family, who were carrying large and small bags behind him. "His name is Ling Yun. He will take over the wasteland work here and is the manager here."
"You guys will help him get familiar with the environment later. Once he's familiar with it, you can go back to the gang so he doesn't have to do nothing here."
"Yes, yes, we will take Manager Ling to settle down and then gather everyone to introduce him." Several people immediately reached out to help Ling Yun get his things and took him to his residence first.
This was a wasteland, there was no place to live before, and the refugees had nowhere to live either. Miao Jiu simply asked people to buy bricks and tiles and let them build it themselves.
Every house has a yard of the same size, and the rows of houses look very beautiful.
If the people in the city's slums want to move here, they have to give their slum houses to Miao Jiu.
Everyone would naturally be willing to live in a new house, so Miao Jiu took away two-thirds of the houses in the slums during this period.
The reason why one-third of the houses are left is not because they don’t want to give them away, but because they don’t know how to do farm work and are all lazy and greedy.
Miao Jiu gave them a chance, but they couldn't continue working even after a day. They even shamelessly asked for their wages, and only became obedient after being beaten by Miao Jiu's men.
Now Hu Zi's family also lives here. Although the courtyard is not big, it is much better than their previous home. At least they don't have to worry about leaks when it rains.
If the wind is strong, the door will be blown open, and you won’t have to listen to the sound of grinding teeth and snoring next door at night.
Siming took a look at the mental state of these people. Although they were very tired, there were smiles on their faces and their mental outlook was much better than before.
It turns out that life must have a goal, only then will people be in good spirits.
After putting their things away, Ling Yun and his family were not in a hurry to tidy up. After introducing himself to everyone working there, he immediately went to check the fields that had been reclaimed.
This piece of land is very fertile, and after the land was cleared, the soil was loosened, so wheat can be planted directly.
Juanjuan and Si Jinchen squatted in the wasteland, holding small hoes and began to look for earthworms in the ground.
Miao Jiu squatted beside them, looking at the fat earthworms in the soil: "Wow! They are so fat, I will definitely catch big fish if I use them to fish."
As he spoke, he reached out and picked up the earthworms in the soil and threw them into a small bucket beside him.
"Uncle, is fishing fun?" Both children's attention was attracted by him.
