Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 139 Chapter 139 Are you going to send a daughter-in-law?
It is not a busy season for farming at this time, and there are few things in the mountain village, and life is day after day without any fluctuations.

The villagers are very concerned about Mu Yu and the others going out to trade, and are willing to help and watch the fun.

Like last time, each family was given a little salt, and each family was given a piece of cloth brought back to make summer clothes.Salt makes people feel good and strong, and when they put on new clothes, the overall appearance of the villagers looks much better than before.

In the past, they could be seen as beggars and refugees at a glance, but now they look like decent villagers.

When Mu Yu saw the villagers who greeted them at the head of the village from a distance, his heart felt warm and he had arrived home.

The other girls looked at everything around them with novelty or apprehension, and followed Mu Yu to the crowd not far away.

Their reactions were considered normal, but the reactions of the villagers were very eager.

Eight people went there, and more than 20 came back, which is easy to find.

The increase in the number of people in the village really makes people happy. In a disaster year, after having food and not starving to death, it is natural that the more people there are, the more secure they will feel.

When Wen Ming's family and Wang's family joined in, the villagers showed great enthusiasm and generous help.

Mu Yu was very pleased that the villagers did well this time, and the girls would soon be able to adapt to life in the mountain village.

But she somewhat underestimated how eager the villagers were this time.

As I said before, the number of men in the village is almost twice that of women, and most of the women are young children, so the gap is even greater.

It has been almost a year since I came to the mountain village to settle down, and everything has almost stabilized. I am full of warmth and thinking about sex. After the problem of survival is solved, it is time to consider the problem of reproduction.

As time goes by, this problem becomes more and more urgent to be solved.

Mu Yu said that he would solve this problem, and the villagers trust Mu Yu very much, so so far there have been no conflicts or problems.

This time Mu Yu brought the girl back, what she thinks is another story, but in the eyes of the villagers, especially those who need a wife, this is for them, so naturally they are eager not to do it.

With almost frenzied smiles on their faces, the villagers rushed over to take over the work in Mu Yu's hands, scrambling to show themselves one by one.

Fortunately, the fanaticism turned into fanaticism, and no one came to the girls to do anything, and they didn't say anything inappropriate. The girls went to the resettlement place that Mu Yu had planned for a long time ago.

It was a larger yard with a relatively spacious room, which was originally reserved as a spare warehouse, and was temporarily unused, so it was used by Mu Yu to house the girls.

It was summer at this time, and a straw mat could sleep people. It was no problem to sleep six or seven people in one room, and two empty rooms could all be accommodated.

Of the original fifty or sixty houses in the village, after living in about sixty people, about half of them are left, and half of this half is used as warehouses, schools, offices, etc., leaving only a dozen houses .

There are still a few bad things that need to be repaired in these dozen or so places. After a while, the village will issue a house building task.

The girls were brought into the house, Mu Yu stood at the door, looked at the group of villagers outside who didn't want to leave, and told Song Gao beside him,
"Go and tell them, let them pay attention, the girls need to adapt to life in the village first, don't scare them."

Song Gao nodded and walked towards the villagers, and said something to them, and they finally dispersed with reluctance on their faces.

Ji Xiucai asked Mu Yu, "Do you have other arrangements for these girls?"

After nearly a year of working together, Ji Xiucai has become the person who understands Mu Yu's meaning best after Yang Erlang, especially in terms of village management.

Mu Yu smiled and said nothing, she wanted to bring these girls to the mountain village to start a new life, not to bring them to marry.

It's a pity that many people can't understand this point.

"They will live here for the first few days, and some straw mats and thin quilts will be brought to them from the warehouse. They will eat millet and rice three times a day, and the extra meat will be the same as other villagers.

You take them to familiarize themselves with the rules of the village first, and let them know that Taoyuan Village is different from other places. "

Ji Xiucai nodded. He witnessed the establishment of Taoyuan Village with his own eyes. The rules and laws were also perfected with his participation. Of course he understood that Taoyuan Village was different.

To be honest, he never thought that such a place existed before.

With a new understanding here, the choices of these girls may be different.

"It only takes a few days to learn the rules, and five days is enough. Do you have any plans for them after that?"

"In the future, they will also be villagers, so naturally they will be divided into basic fields.

The fields near the village have long been owned, and it is unrealistic for them to plant too far away. The slopes near the village are opened up for them to plant. "

Land reclamation is not easy, in addition to paying more hard work, but also to bear the possibility of little harvest in the previous two years, it is even more likely to open a wasteland after two years of hard work, so although the sloping land is close, no one has been moving it.

"Considering that most of them are still young, this land can be rented out for others to plant, and then the harvest will be half.

They came late and could only receive a crop of food, but they didn't eat much, and they were given some other tasks to do, enough to support themselves.

In another year, you will be much more generous. "

Ji Xiucai memorized something briefly with a pen and paper while listening to her, and finally said,
"It's all right, I'll take care of it."

……

Of course, the dismissed villagers did not recover from the surprise so easily. After they returned, they still gathered together in small groups to find a place to chat.

A young man who didn't go to greet him asked, "Is the village really going to send a daughter-in-law?"

"Isn't that right?"

The young man asked again, "Then can I send it?"

"That's for sure. I counted a dozen or so women."

"That's not necessarily the case. There are at least twenty or so young men and old men living alone in the village. There are still a dozen or so women who are younger. How can they be enough?"

That being said, it does not seem optimistic.

Wang Mao, the representative of the middle-aged man, said proudly,

"It must be us big brothers who are divided first, and the young lads have to wait a few years for those little girls to grow up. We can't wait any longer."

No one answered, obviously his guess was not approved by most people.

The young guy is definitely not willing to share it like this. Why should the young girl share it with these old men? Naturally, it must be matched with the young man.

Other older men are not as "confident" as he is. Although Taoyuan Village is quite different from other places, it has never directly said that the daughter-in-law will also be assigned directly to the family.

There were a few widows and big girls in the village before. If they could be divided, they would have been divided before. If they didn't, it would explain the matter.

Some of the girls brought back this time are still young, and they are still not enough to get all the points.

Moreover, the village chief didn't say anything before, and there was no news from Ji Xiucai, so there might be other explanations behind this matter.

If you want to ask a daughter-in-law to go home, you have to think more about it.
