It was beyond everyone's expectations. It took less than half a month, but only twelve days, to harvest all the land of all the families in Liujiatun.

We were also lucky. The weather was very good in the past ten days. If we turned the grain in the drying yard diligently, it would be dried in just two hours.

Moreover, Li Shiyue went against the opposition of many people and built this drying yard very large.

Is this disadvantage highlighted at this time?
The drying area is large, and each family can have a large area for drying.

Moreover, at the beginning all the crops could be spread out to dry, because the first land to be harvested was the land of the Wang family, which was closest to the top.

It only took the group of people two and a half days to not only harvest all the land in Wangjia Village, but also hang it out to dry!
This speed was beyond everyone's expectations. Even Li Shiyue herself did not expect the collective power to be so great!

On the thirteenth day, Yan Jiuniang, who had already become two degrees tanned, followed Li Shiyue and the others to the wasteland they had reclaimed during the spring plowing.

Now there are only these ten acres of wasteland in Liujiatun that have been confiscated.

Originally, Li Shiyue just wanted to take his people to the wasteland to harvest it, but on the way, he actually met Li Wangjin and his friends on the river bank.

There were not only a dozen men from the Li family, but also three or four men from the Wang family.

Because Li Wangjin's wife, Wang Xiangxing, had a good relationship with Erdan's mother, Li Wangjin was pushed out by everyone at this moment.

Li Wangjin is actually a taciturn person in front of outsiders. He can only say a few words in front of his wife Wang Xiangxing.

So now he was pushed to the front, and Li Wangjin, whose face was tanned from working for the past ten days, could not be seen even if his face was red.

He held the sickle and looked at Li Shiyue sitting in the carriage. He opened his mouth for several breaths. Finally, under Li Shiyue's puzzled eyes, he opened his mouth and said: "Everyone has finished their work on the land, and there is not much work to do. I just want to work with you."

After saying this, Li Wangjin couldn't open his mouth anymore and couldn't utter another word.

Finally, a man from the Wang family stood up and said, "Shiyue, we are all grateful to you for leading us to work together, and we want to come here and work with you again.

You said that there is strength in numbers, and more people means faster work.

We don’t want your food, but we are willing to work for you for free as a thank you.”

"Yes, we don't want food. We are willing to work for you for free."

"Yes, it's all for nothing. Shall we go with you?"

"That's it, let us go?"

Yan Jiuniang used her face, which finally looked like a country girl, to wink at Li Xiatian beside her. Li Xiatian lowered his head and moved closer to start chattering with Yan Jiuniang.

"How could they come here to thank October?
They came to Shiyue to curry favor with her because they saw that following Shiyue really had benefits. "

"That's it! That's it!

They weren't like this before!
Now he says he wants to work for us for free!

Humph, you have a pretty good plan!"

Li Shiyue naturally did not refuse their request. She felt that she still had the ability to use their labor for free.

Isn’t the benefit she brought to Liujiatun during this autumn harvest worth letting these ten or so men work for her for a day for free?

Therefore, in the second half of the afternoon, all the grain on the ten acres of wasteland was harvested.

Not only did they harvest grain, but they also caught a nest of rabbits in the field!
As soon as Li Shiyue saw the rabbits, he came up with the idea of building a rabbit farm.

People cannot live without meat, but chickens are raised for their eggs. A family can raise five or six hens, which is not too few.

There aren't many people raising pigs nowadays, but at the market held every five or eight days in Qingsong Town, Li's mother and her friends have indeed come across people selling piglets.

But this thing is really hard to raise now. You have to feed it at least twice a day, and you have to build a large enclosure. It also smells bad.
It's not like raising chickens, which can be roamed freely during the day and will return home on their own in the evening.

As for ducks, Liujiatun is suitable for raising them. After all, there is a fairly large river at the end of the village.

But, didn’t Li Shiyue and his team build a paper mill on the riverbank?
Raising ducks will ultimately have an impact on water sources.

So, it’s not easy to raise ducks.

Li Shiyue thought about it and thought of rabbits. Rabbits are good, they reproduce quickly, and you don't need a lot of land to raise rabbits. You just need to build a nest with bricks and arrange for someone to feed them grass on time every day.

Although there is not much meat on a rabbit, there is still some meat and rabbit skin. It is just a good opportunity to have another business. In the future, when there is trade, I can sell one more thing and make more money, right?
So, all six rabbits in the litter were tied together and Li Shiyue gave them to Erdan's mother.

At first, Erdan's mother thought that Li Shiyue was considerate of her, a widow, who found it difficult to raise Erdan, and wanted to give them food.

As a result, Li Shiyue saw Erdan's mother refuse and said, "Aunt, I don't mean for you to take it back and eat it.

There is really no space left in my yard, and the horses, mules and chickens take up a lot of space.

Can you take them home and raise them for a few days to see how many of them can survive?

If there are a lot of rabbits left, I'm thinking of finding a piece of land at the foot of the mountain to build a place specifically for raising rabbits, which can also be a business.

From now on, you will be a rabbit keeper, okay?"

Erdan's mother looked into Li Shiyue's eyes, then looked at the string of rabbits. She nodded heavily and said to Li Shiyue solemnly, "Okay!

Don't worry, I will take good care of you!"

The next few days were the final days of the autumn harvest. After harvesting the land, the children would go and pick up the crops carefully. They would be able to pick up some grains.

The adults have to plow the soil, repair the ditches and ridges and so on, so they are very busy.

However, in the midst of his busy schedule, Li Shiyue served as the master of ceremonies for Ma Zi and Mole Zi, and two more weddings were held in Liujiatun.

Ma Zi and Mole Zi had always had a good relationship, so this time they decided to get married and have it held on one day.

The banquet was arranged on the drying yard, which was large and had plenty of room for seating.

Neither Zhao Yan nor Sun Xiaodou's families were picky people. Ma Zi and Mole gave a lot of betrothal gifts, and the wedding banquet was also very generous. So the two families agreed to hold the wedding on the same day.

Sitting on the drying yard to eat a feast in the evening, the strands of hair on his forehead were blown up by the occasional wind. He watched the children in the village running around, taking a bite on one table and then another bite on that table. Hearing them shouting "ah ah" as they ran, Li Shiyue felt a sense of peace and tranquility in his heart at this moment.

"Come on, drink!"

With her eyes blurred by drunkenness, Yan Jiuniang held the small wine glass in front of Li Shiyue.

Li Shiyue took the wine glass, tilted her head back and drank the whole glass in one gulp. Then she put the glass down and tried to "grab" the glass in Yan Jiuniang's hand.

“Okay, give it to me.

You have drunk enough today, drink more next time."

"many?

Not much, not much, how can it be more?
I want more! I want more!
October, will you drink with me? "

How could Li Shiyue let Yan Jiuniang drink again?

Yan Jiuniang looked like she was about to fall off her seat.

However, Li Shiyue still responded to Yan Jiuniang's words: "Okay, okay, drink, I'll drink with you."

While saying this, Li Shiyue snatched the wine glass from Yan Jiuniang's hand. Putting the glass down, she pulled Yan Jiuniang into her arms.

Yan Jiuniang was brought into Li Shiyue's arms. She was not surprised at all and even rubbed Li Shiyue's shoulder twice.

"Mother, I'll take Jiu Niang back first. She's drunk."

Li's mother wanted to go back with her, but Li Shiyue refused, saying that she was capable of doing it and that Yan Jiuniang was so light that she could lift her up with one hand.

Mother Li did not force anything. After giving Li Shiyue a few instructions, she watched Li Shiyue stand up, help Yan Jiuniang up, turn sideways, and with a little effort, carry Yan Jiuniang on her back.

On the way back home with Yan Jiuniang on her back, Li Shiyue closed her eyes and whispered in Li Shiyue's ear: "Shiyue, I wish I wasn't my father's child, right?
Then I can also find a man I like and hold such a festive and lively banquet to marry him, right?"
