Rebirth of the Poor Girl

Time passed by, and soon it was the day when the Tianjia wasteland was reclaimed. It was only dawn on this day, and Luo Shi got up quickly and made breakfast. After killing the chicken, he led the family to light incense candles to sacrifice to the land god, and went to the back mountain. I worshiped the mountain god.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, Tian Minyan and Tian Huairen went to the back mountain on foot. Because the wasteland at home was going to be reclaimed, Tian Minrui and Xiaowu specially took half a day off with their husband, and followed them around.

When I arrived at the desolate hillside of the back mountain, it was already full of people, some came to work, some came to watch the fun, children ran wildly all over the ground, Xie Gouzi was holding a bamboo stick in his hand. Shouting the children to leave.

Someone saw Tian Minyan's family coming, and couldn't help calling out: "Second Miss is here."

Tian Minyan couldn't help laughing, ever since Xie Gouzi called her Second Miss that day, those who came to help her, especially those who were not close, always called her Second Miss when they saw her.

Xie Gouzi ran over and gasped, "I've looked around and no one has come in. You can start farming at any time."

Tian Minyan hummed, and walked roughly around. She and Tian Huairen had already collected the relatively wet and rotten leaves on the wasteland, and the rest were dry and easy to catch fire.

She first divided the [-] mu of land into four pieces, each of which appointed a small principal, among them was He Quanfu, the eldest brother of the He family, and the other three were also good farmers in the village, such as Zhang Dagui, Chen Ping An, and Zhu Minsheng, a cousin of Uncle Zhu.

As in the previous meeting, first dig the fire ditch in the morning, fire plow in the afternoon, and plow tomorrow. Tian Minyan gave an order, and the 30 people were divided into four teams and started to work.

Even if someone was invited to open up wasteland, Tian Huairen didn't stay idle, rolled up his sleeves and followed everyone to work together, while Tian Minrui and Xiao Wu ran around, not letting those children play in the field and hinder the adults work.

Tian Minyan only looked at it for a while, then walked away. She had other things to plan.

To turn a piece of land into a good field, in addition to retting and fertilizing the land, it must also be irrigated with a well. Everything in the world needs water, and this land is no exception.

The wasteland she bought, because she had made up her mind to grow cotton from the very beginning, so she didn't need it to be a good paddy field, as long as it was fertilized and irrigated with sufficient water.

As for the source of water, there is a river beach on the side of the back mountain, as long as it is cut off from the upper reaches, but this river beach does not have a lot of water, if there is a severe drought, the water on the river beach will definitely not be able to supply, and the river will even dry up.

Tian Minyan walked along the upper reaches of the river beach, slowly moving away from human voices. That's it, he was not busy drawing the topography of the river beach with a charcoal pencil, looking for the most suitable point to build an embankment.

She climbed until she couldn't move anymore, and then she stopped and looked back. There were crowds of people at the foot of the mountain, and the voices of people could be heard faintly. Not far away, there was a green field, and the rice swayed and swayed with the wind.

Tian Minyan sat down, took a sweeping view of the scenery below, set his eyes on his [-]-acre wasteland, drew his hands into a square frame, moved little by little, and kept planning in his mind.

The mountain is slope-shaped, from high to downward, Tian Minyan thought of the terraced fields she saw in her previous life, and couldn't help but feel happy. Maybe, she can also turn this slope into a terraced field.

Row by row, row by row, cotton will be planted in the future, a piece of white flowers, when interplanting, she can also grow butter vegetables, yellow cauliflower, a golden piece, how beautiful it is.

Thinking of this, Tian Minyan quickly took out a sharpened charcoal pencil from her arms, and began to draw on the paper.

Tian Minyan stayed on the mountain for a long time, writing and drawing, and did not go down until Tian Minrui came to look for her. The sun was gradually turning, and after working for half a day, several fire ditches had been dug in various places in the field. Looking at the sky, it was cloudless , You can plow by fire in the next noon.

After lunch at home, Tian Minyan told his family that he wanted to dig some deep wells in that land.

"Drilling a well?" Tian Huairen looked at her in astonishment. He had only heard of digging wells for food at home, but never heard of digging wells in the fields.

"Yes."

Tian Minyan nodded. This is what she thought of on the mountain. The water on the river beach is too little. She is not afraid of anything, but a severe drought. If there is a real severe drought, even the well water will dry up. It's always good to be prepared.

This is what she thought, dig a well at the highest point, dig a few large ponds to store water, and form a terraced field. If the gate is opened at the top to prevent water discharge, and the water flows from the top, irrigation will be much more convenient.

The well is just a backup, and the water is usually diverted from the river beach for irrigation, so there is no need to worry about the water source at all.

"Here, no one has drilled a well in the field yet." Tian Huairen frowned.

"Father, it's not that someone else has done it before we can do it. You have to learn to be the first, right?" Tian Minyan smiled and said: "It's like wasteland. Someone has to open it first before it can be fertile. We have to be brave enough to eat it." Crab."

"But..." Tian Huairen was still hesitating, "There hasn't been a severe drought in these years."

"Father, what are you worrying about?"

"I, I..." Tian Huairen hesitated, coughed and said, "It will take a lot of time to dig that pond."

Tian Minyan suddenly realized that he was reluctant to part with the few acres of land, so he smiled and said, "Father, it's not a problem, it's worth it, you just need to think about those ponds, they are life-saving and food-saving water, and that's money. .Besides, not much food can be grown in this land now, so it doesn’t matter whether it costs land or not.”

Tian Huairen was embarrassed by what she said, so he said, "Sure, you can do whatever you want."

Tian Minyan breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

In the near future, the facts proved that Tian Minyan's decision was extremely correct.

In the next afternoon, Luo Shi saw that Tian Minyan was tanned and thin from the busy work of land reclamation these days, and there was a circle of blue and black under her eyelids. She ran to the land in the back mountain. After all, it was the first time to cultivate by fire, so she was afraid of something.

Fortunately, the fire plowing went very smoothly, because a lot of pits were dug across the fire, and the fire was well controlled. A piece of land was plowed very quickly. The technology is unfamiliar and awkward, and there are many potholes, but a lot of grassroots have been dug out.

Some people saw the novelty of this agricultural tool, and they all came forward to try it out. They all felt that this tool was much better than an iron hoe, and it could dig out a lot of grass roots. Some people even asked Tian Minyan where to order it. Having said that, it has invisibly brought a lot of business to Uncle Zhu.

Tian Minyan saw the clods raked out by the crowd, and the mud pits of different depths made her squint her eyes, and she was both proud and excited, so the land will be opened soon.

Code words are very tiring, boring, very tired, very tired, very tired, very tired, I am going crazy~
