Dressed as a farmer group pet

Chapter 317 316 Busy
The location of the fish pond is not far away, just in front of the pigsty, and the terrain is a little higher.

The Jiang family was originally at the entrance of Xiangmu Village, and there was no other family except Liu Qingfeng and the others next to them.

Almost all other villagers live in some villages, and most of the fields are concentrated in the middle of the village.

There are also some rich and noble people's farms. I didn't know it before, but now I have lived for a long time and found that those farms are relatively concentrated, and they are all large areas.

And those who work for the farm are mostly gathered together. In addition to serving the owner's crops, there are also chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, etc., and they rarely communicate with ordinary villagers.

Closer to home, because other people's fields have almost occupied the space in the village. If the Jiang family wants to develop, they can only expand outward.

It just so happened that they also lived in the outskirts, and there was a lot of wasteland outside the village, and the ten acres of wasteland that Jiang's family bought before still had a lot of space left.

Taking advantage of a few days before the rice harvest, Jiang Hu led people to circle the place where the pond needed to be dug, and then cleaned up the weeds and thorns in the field.

Working for the Jiang family doesn't have to worry about wages, and it's still close to home. People who have tasted the sweetness of building a pigsty before are also very active this time. Jiang Hu searched around, and almost no one disagreed.

Several brothers and sisters went to school in the city as usual every day. After autumn, Xiaomi was at home as usual in the morning, fed water to the animals at home, and practiced speed at home.

She also told Wei Ziang about this, but she didn't mention Linger's reminder, she just said that she discovered it by accident and hit the table.

This statement was half true, Wei Ziang didn't doubt it, he just said that he would practice if he had the chance.

Xiaomi's purpose was naturally to catch goats alive, so he practiced very diligently.

Xiaobai has been recuperating at home during this time, and was put in the space by Xiaomi at night, and he was released as soon as he woke up in the morning.

The only thing that makes Xiaomi speechless is probably Xiaomi
I don't know if it was the first day when she let Xiao Bai out, Xiaomi remembered it.

After that, at a fixed time almost every morning, Xiao Mi found her room by herself, and then meowed vigorously on her bedside!
Even if she didn't close the doors and windows at night, Xiao Mi can always find a way to get in!
At first, Xiaomi didn’t know what was going on. He was woken up by Xiaomi and wanted to coax him, but finally found that he couldn’t. Instead, Xiaomi kept wandering by the bedside, and Xiaomi had a flash of inspiration and let Xiaobai out. .

Then Xiao Mi went directly to Xiao Bai to sleep.

It was also from that day on that when she heard Xiao Mi's cry in the morning, Xiaomi closed her eyes and released Xiao Bai from the space.

Otherwise, Xiao Mi will definitely keep calling until she takes Xiao Bai out!

Fortunately, Xiaomi and Xiaobai can't speak, and things about the space will not be spread.

Since the last heavy rain, the weather has been very clear, every day is cloudless and sunny.

The rice in the field did not suffer any damage because it was raised in time, and it returned to its original appearance the next day, and it was completely unrecognizable that it had been dumped by the rain before.

And the rice grains are also turning yellow day by day, and some of them were planted earlier, and those with sufficient sunlight are ready to be harvested.

The work of digging fish ponds has been put on hold for the time being, and the busy farming is important first.

Several households with good relations exchange jobs with each other. You first collect it for my family, and then go to your house to work tomorrow.

Jiang Hu also went to help, but Er Niang was left at home by him, and there were many things at home.

I can wait a day or two for my own rice, and when it is all yellow, I can find a few more people, and I can get it all in one day.

There is a dam paved with bluestone slabs outside Jiang's house. It is usually used to park horse-drawn carriages, but it is a good drying ground during the busy farming season.

Unlike towns, Cheng County did not give the students a holiday, but Jiang Yu and the others asked for leave and came back to help.

Although Jiang Hu didn't agree very much, he didn't say much. Instead, he asked them to change into rough work clothes and went to the field together.

Liu Qingfeng had no idea at first, but seeing that his younger brothers were full of energy and fighting spirit, he simply sent a letter to his college asking for a day off.

What's more pitiful is that the dignified young master probably never worked in the field when he was born, and this is the first time he went to the field with him to cut the millet.

Holding a sickle, imitating my younger brother's movements, use force... use... force!
It took several efforts to finally cut a handful of rice, but when I looked up, my own was not half as much as others'!

Not only that, but less than half an hour later, his back began to ache, and his face was hot, as if he couldn't hold a sickle anymore.

He wanted to be brave and continue, but Jiang Hu saw it and made excuses to trick him back, and then he didn't dare to come out.

But after such a time, it can be clearly seen that Liu Qingfeng's whole person seems to have changed.

Compared with before, Liu Qingfeng appeared more calm, his gestures seemed to be more mature, and even his speech was more stable than before.

It seems that he has grown up a lot in an instant, and he has the temperament of his father Liu Hongwen.

But these did not attract too many people's attention, only Liu Ze was slightly aware of the change in his elder brother.

Not long after the rice was harvested, the people who collected the grain tax came. The rich yield did not seem to have surprised the servants, but at most they were surprised that the Jiang family had so much land.

After paying the food tax, there was still a lot of food left, so I prepared food for the Liu family for a year according to the usual amount, and then the Liu family stewards would come and pull it back.

Of course, it was bought by Liu's family, and the price is not lower than that of Liangzhuang.

In the beginning, the price was not so high. Later, they found that the Jiang family's food was not only delicious, but also comfortable to eat, so the Liu family raised the price themselves.

In addition to rice, I bought a lot of sorghum and corn, as well as soybeans and mung beans harvested this summer.

Then there is the one thousand catties of rice that Xie Fuya asked for, and some other grains.

Xie Fuya bought it at the price of the Liu family. She has money, a generous dowry, and her own shop and farm.

Because she had just been married, her natal family would prepare some good things for her during the festivals. Xie Fuya was not short of money, so buying this little food was just a drop in the bucket for her, and naturally it would not attract objections from her parents-in-law.

Even Liu Qingfeng didn't say much, he just asked if he needed to find someone to deliver food, after all, Xie Fuya's belly was getting bigger day by day, and now even when she went back to the city to pay her respects every few days, her in-laws stopped her and told her Take good care of your baby in the village.

Not only that, as Xie Fuya was getting older, Mrs. Liu directly asked Mrs. Wen to come and live there, and she lived in the outer courtyard beside Xie Fuya.

It is said that this Wen woman not only has rich experience in delivering babies, but also has a little knowledge of medical skills. The fetus is only seven months old, and Mrs. Liu has already sent people to bring a lot of things by car.

This is the eldest grandson of the Liu family, how could he not take it seriously.

Even because Xie Fuya was emotionally unstable in the city, she would rather let her raise the baby in the countryside than force her to go back to the city to show it to others, which is enough to show that Mrs. Liu attaches great importance to this eldest grandson.

From autumn to winter, in mid-October, the fish ponds that had just cleared out the weeds were put on hold again, and everyone began to rest their land and prepare for rapeseed seedlings.

After the rape seedlings are raised, the sweet potatoes are dug, and the sweet potato vines are chopped and dried in the sun. If anyone in the village has excess hogweed, they will send it directly to the Jiang family.

And Jiang Hu also promised that when everyone needs to use manure, they can also go directly to Jiang's house to pick it up. Others will do.

When everyone was busy, not so many people could work in Jiang's house. Jiang Hu went around the city, found a few long-term workers, and found an unoccupied house in the village.

Although the house is dilapidated, it can still be lived in if it is simply tidied up.

Generally, villagers with fields would rather be short-term coolies than long-term laborers. After all, during the busy farming season, they have to go home to grab the harvest.

Therefore, these long-term workers are all poor people in the city. They have no land and no special skills.

A few days ago, the rice field fish in Xiangmu Village was very popular, and the Jiang family gradually spread to the ears of ordinary people.

Because of their relatives, they can always find out some things. For example, Jiang's family is a wealthy household in Xiangmu Village, and they are generous and straightforward, and they never deduct wages from hired workers.

This made many people come here when they heard that the Jiang family was looking for long-term workers. These few were selected by Jiang Hu after asking.

He mainly does the work of planting crops, weeding and sowing, and tending the crops in the field. The first thing he is looking for is someone with relevant experience.

But at the beginning, Jiang Hu still had to take the area, and would often go to the field to check it, so naturally he wouldn't hand it all over to the long-term workers.

The crops in the field are proceeding in an orderly manner, and the fish pond on the other side is also being dug in full swing. Jiang Hu also said that after the fish pond is dug out, he will clean up two acres of paddy fields and specialize in planting lotus roots.

After such a series of things are busy, it will take several months at least!

So everyone is more enthusiastic about working, not for anything else, it's all wages!
In addition to the people from Xiangmu Village, people from other villages also came, especially Yang Shulin called his uncle to help dig the fish pond, and by the way, gave the uncle business in advance.

In addition to digging fish ponds, Jiang Hu also found a few people, and first changed the chicken coop, rabbit pen, etc. to another place.

The chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits that have been raised for almost a year have all been trampled to death in the previously enclosed area, and there is nothing bare on the ground.

Weeds are eaten or trampled to death as soon as they grow.

Taking advantage of the large number of people now, pull up the fence, re-enclose the wasteland next to it, and then drive the chickens and ducks over.

In the flat place that was trampled on, the chicken droppings were collected and fermented together with the cow dung, and then the ground was plowed and the seeds of goosegrass collected in advance were sprinkled.

The Jiang family should be the first to grow grass and raise chickens.
