Chapter 22 Land reclamation mobilization

"It is possible to plant a season of winter wheat on dry land, and the harvest will be at the end of April next year. After paying the rent, there will be [-]% left...However, it will take nine months from sowing to harvest."

Bai Yunxi counted the time with his fingers.

"During this period, we all need to borrow grain to maintain our lives. For the food, drink, and chewing of the whole family, even if it is mixed with wild vegetables and sweet potatoes, it will cost at least a thousand catties of grain. When the harvest season is over and the debt is paid off, do we still have surplus grain?"

"If this vicious cycle continues, we will not have any surplus food left, and we will have to borrow food every year to survive, what do you think?"

Listening to her mother's analysis, everyone fell silent. It took a while for Bai Anyan to raise his head.
"Mother, my son is not opposed to land reclamation. Anyway, it's all about effort and money. But what should we do if the wasteland doesn't yield?"

'As for a dozen people, every day they open their eyes, they get food. Where can they get it? '

"Opening up wasteland is hard work, and it is the most wasteful of food. There is no energy to open up wasteland without borrowing food." Li's most concerned thing is his stomach, as long as he is not hungry, he can do whatever he wants.

"...Mom, our rice vat has bottomed out." Du's sense of existence has never been there, and when he heard the food, he raised his head and added in a low voice.

"Of course I know this, that's why I want to open up wasteland and grow food, so that no matter how much we harvest, it's our own, and there is still a three-year tax holiday. Mother has a way to fertilize the wasteland. This is our only chance to turn around."

Yuan Meng looked at them, hugged Yaya in her arms, and subconsciously comforted her.

"Our whole family is mobilized. It is better than anything else to fill our stomachs and relieve our urgent needs. From today on, we all have to work harder. We have to look forward to live. The hard days will always pass."

Several people were mobilized by Baiyunxi, and their numb expressions became more resigned.

"Mother, what should we do?" Bai Anyan sighed helplessly.

'Mother is right, life is always going to pass, hard times will be over as soon as they are endured. '

Bai Yunxi looked at the casual attitude of her son and daughter-in-law, and didn't care. A group of bear babies who lack their own opinions can really change at once, and she doesn't need to travel all the way.

"An Yan and his wife are the pillars of the family and the main force in opening up wasteland. An Yi and An Sheng are still young, but they can help the family to some extent. Your sister-in-law is not in good health. Being able to take care of your meals is a great achievement."

As soon as these words came out, Du Shi was the first to be jealous. It was the first time that her mother-in-law cared about her, and for some reason, she suddenly felt very sad, but she couldn't say anything when she came to her mouth, so she could only lower her head.

'It turns out that her bitter mother-in-law can see it. '

Bai Anyan didn't know whether he was numb or had guessed it earlier, so he nodded subconsciously.

'As long as it fills the stomach, the rest doesn't matter. 'Li Shi muttered in her heart, and also acquiesced.

On the contrary, Bai Anyi curled his lips, and said unwillingly, "Mother, we all have work to do, what about big brother, what is he doing?"

'My mother is still biased, the family is so busy that he doesn't have the nerve to hide, but the eldest brother actually got into a mouse hole, what a thief. '

Hearing the voice of the fourth child, Bai Yunxi bent his lips, "Don't worry, your elder brother has more important things to do."

'Bah~, if you are lazy, you can hide, just like his trash, he can't carry his shoulders and hands, and he looks like his nostrils are turned upside down, and he looks like a big brother like a father every day, making his hands itchy.If he hadn't been beaten by his elder brother, he would have done it long ago. '
