Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11168 Division of Labor and Cooperation

Liu waved her hands at them and shouted, "Work hard and don't spare any effort. We will cook a delicious lunch for you!"

Yang Ruoqing also saw her father, uncle, and Luo Fengtang among the busy men.

Yang Ruoqing raised her hand towards Luo Fengtang and made an OK gesture.

This was to tell Luo Fengtang that the logistics had been taken care of, allowing him to concentrate on the front line.

Luo Fengtang saw Yang Ruoqing bringing two boats of women, who were carrying large pots and holding piles of firewood. A smile appeared in Luo Fengtang's eyes.

He gave Yang Ruoqing a thumbs up from afar.

  My wife is so amazing and capable!

The site for the stove was chosen on a higher ground in the south of the village. The surrounding sky and earth were flooded, but the area nearby was dry.

The female soldiers set up the pot, lit the fire, and prepared the ingredients early in the morning. After deciding on the plan, Yang Ruoqing arranged for people to go to the nearby Qingshui Town to make some purchases.

Now, the ingredients are in place and delivered to the cooking area.

It was handed over to the female soldiers, who divided the work and cooperated with each other. They also selected a team leader who was in charge of command, and everyone was busy in an orderly manner.

Yang Ruoqing took this opportunity to take a break, walk around and patrol.

I saw the large water trucks in the village pumping water into the ditch non-stop, and then I looked towards the villages leading to Qingshui Town.

I thought to myself that I was so unlucky. This wave of floods submerged several villages along the river. Zhengjia Village, Lijia Village, and Yujia Village were the villages with the largest affected areas and the most serious disasters.

Today I heard from several people who went to the town to purchase food that everything was peaceful in the town and the villages near the town were intact and not flooded at all.

As long as you go towards Mianniu Mountain, you will find signs of flooding. As you get closer to Mianniu Mountain, the villages and fields, both large and small, become more and more flooded...

However, when Yang Ruoqing stood on a high place and looked around the fields near the village, she found an interesting phenomenon.

That is, even though the village is surrounded by water, not all fields are flooded.

But just by chance, there are some fields that have not been flooded. To put it in a mysterious way, it is luck. To put it in a scientific way, it is actually because of the convenient terrain. When the water reaches here, it happens to flow down from the side because of a certain arc and corner, so that the things growing in this field are preserved.

In this piece of land, the three families’ land accounts for 30%.

The third family has one hundred acres of land, about thirty acres of which are distributed nearby, and there are some fields in Lijia Village and towards Qingshui Town.

The sixty acres of farmland in other places were basically not flooded.

However, the thirty or so acres of farmland near Changping Village suffered a lot.

Yang Huazhong did some counting these two days and found that about 15 acres of land had no harvest, but the other 15 acres could still be salvaged.

The saddest people in this matter are not only the third room, but also Yang Yongqing and the Xiao Mo couple, because they tasted the sweetness last year, so they are ready to continue to take over the lease this year.

As a result, just after the contract was renewed, a flood came and we lost 15 or 16 acres, or nearly 20 acres, of rapeseed and wheat harvests...

Yang Ruoqing knew that her cousin was worried. He didn't want to lose this good job, but if the loss was counted into the share he had to pay to the third house, then he would probably have worked for nothing this year...

But the flood had just passed, and the reconstruction of the homeland after the disaster had only officially begun today. Yang Yongqing had not found a chance to discuss with Yang Huazhong about the harvest of the 15 acres of flooded land...

Even if he went to talk to Yang Huazhong about this matter now, Yang Huazhong himself probably wouldn't have the time to talk to him about it.

Everything has to wait until the flood drains out of the village and everything in the village returns to normal... So these few days, haha, I guess it must be very tormenting for my little cousin!

My dear cousin, don't expect that the loss of the 15 acres of land will be fully borne by the third owner. That is impossible.

According to the contract, this matter should be borne by the lessee Yang Yongqing.

However, considering the special circumstances of the famine year, the landlord and the lessee Yang Yongqing are also uncle and nephew, so the two parties can sit down and discuss, each taking a step back and sharing the losses.

Sharing the burden is the most humane way to deal with it. It not only takes into account the relationship between uncle and nephew, but also fits the character traits of Yang Huazhong. He is a kind, simple and most compassionate person.

But it is hard to say what Yang Yongqing’s attitude is right now. If the negotiations fail, the third house can just take back the land and find a new tenant.

In other words, if Yang Yongqing has a small vision, he will be the one who suffers the loss in this wave, and he will completely lose this long-term job.

All this is a story for later.

The most urgent task for Yang Ruoqing was to quickly lead the female soldiers to prepare lunch.

So, Liu was assigned by Yang Ruoqing to be responsible for putting out the fire in one of the pots.

Yang Ruoqing would never assign Liu to jobs that require skills, such as cooking and frying.

"Qing'er, I knew you would definitely take care of me and let me be in charge of the stove fire."

Liu was sitting on a small stool. In front of her was a temporary open-air stove made of bricks and stones. The stove was about fifty centimeters high and could hold a large pot steadily on it.

The big pot is used by farmers to entertain relatives and friends during festivals, or for weddings and funerals. It is very large and has a very impressive capacity. It can easily provide food for more than 20 people.

"You are my fourth aunt, of course I have to take care of you." Yang Ruoqing calmly moved Liu's hand away from her arm.

Then he told Liu: "Since you know that I take care of you, you should also repay me. Keep a good fire and keep an eye on it. Before the working men have their meals, no one is allowed to eat alone. Send the food to the pasture."

"Wait until the men who work have eaten and drunk enough and start working. As for the rest of the meal, you can arrange it however you like. Do you understand?"

Liu nodded vigorously: "I understand, of course I understand. Qing'er, you are right. There must be rules. Otherwise, before the working men come to eat, the food will be eaten up. What will the men eat? How can they have the energy to work?"

Yang Ruoqing was very satisfied with Liu's awareness.

And the rules she just mentioned had also been explained to the kitchen captain.

There was absolutely enough food, not only to ensure that the working men were well fed and watered, but also to ensure that the eight women who cooked were well fed and watered.

In addition, there should be a surplus of about ten people.

The surplus of these ten or so people is used to deal with emergencies.

Like if someone accidentally knocks over a bowl or something, right? You always have to have a few extras.

If the extra portions cannot be finished in one meal, they will definitely not be left for the next meal. They will be cooked on the spot for each meal.

Therefore, the extra portions must have been divided among the eight women who cooked and taken home to feed the children and the elderly at home. This is also human nature.
