A leisurely life with Lingquan

Chapter 202: Act Now (2)
"The main reason for land reclamation is to grow pasture. The newly reclaimed land should be planted with pasture, otherwise chicken food is also a problem."

The village chief also understood, and after thinking for a while, he said, "So, the land reclaimed from wasteland can be used to feed chickens."

Li Xi wanted to laugh but still nodded: "You are right, it is to feed the chickens, but after the chickens are fed, the harvest of the chickens is enough to pay taxes."

Sighing lightly, the village chief sighed a little: "You young people are good, energetic, and dare to do anything." The expansion of breeding is simple to say, and the investment and future care in case of any mistakes are not easy to afford started.

"Do you have any money? If you don't have enough, Second Uncle can lend you some." It would probably cost a lot of money to come and go, and the village chief was a little worried.

"Xi'er and Amu must have saved up during this period of time, otherwise they wouldn't have said such things, so don't embarrass them."

Before Li Xi and Zhao Mu refused, Second Aunt Zhang who entered the room with a pot of things spoke quickly.

"What do you know?" The second uncle was very angry, stopped smoking, and slapped the table hard.

Mrs. Zhang was taken aback by his attitude, but then she said loudly: "Why did I say something wrong? Don't pretend to be generous here, Tian'er doesn't spend money anywhere in the town, you are the only one who can speak. "

"You..." The second uncle was full of anger and blood again, and Zhao Mu hurriedly stood up to support him.

Li Xi glanced at Mrs. Zhang. She used to think that Second Aunt was pretty good except for being a little cautious, but now... But she didn't mean to be fussy, and she didn't ask to borrow money at first, thinking of Zhao Tian spending money in the town. There must be a lot, and the second aunt's worry is not unreasonable, and the mood is much smoother.

"Second Aunt, you misunderstood. We don't mean to ask you for your hard-earned money. The family still has some money, but expanding the chicken breeding is not enough to build a house to call us." Li Xi also said directly.

"You, it's not easy for you to earn some money. You have to save money." The second uncle felt a little ashamed, but he also listened to Zhang's words, and Zhao Tian spent a lot of money. It's so special, it's not easy for one person to go to school to pass the scholar exam, not to mention that what Zhao Tian wants is to take the exam in three years, if he wants his son to be successful, he has to tighten his belt now.

"It's not easy for us, but it's even more difficult for Second Uncle and Second Aunt." Before rushing Zhang to speak, Li Xi deeply felt that Zhang was also affected by the family situation. Good to touch.

"Oh, whatever." It's not easy for him. Although the village chief blushed, he didn't stand out anymore: "I already know what your plans are. Oh, two acres of land is only two acres of land. Let's measure it today." After a while, you can open up wasteland by yourself."

"Thank you, Second Uncle." Li Xi smiled happily.

"Auntie, I have already said that Xi'er and Amu are people who know how to live. Look at how many days it has been. Before, I didn't have enough to eat. How good it is now. Amu is good at hunting. Having done such a decent job in the town, Xi'er is capable, and the things at home and outside the house are not to mention, the things that are made from feeding chickens and ducks can also be sold for money. Now no one says that Amu is married A good daughter-in-law."

Knowing that she didn't borrow money, Mrs. Zhang felt much better. It wasn't because she was so mean. It's because the family really couldn't help others now. For Mrs. Zhang, the son is the most important thing. This year, the eldest son married a wife , she let go of this worry, but the youngest son is not yet ready.

Her youngest son is admitted to the show is her greatest pride. She believes that her son will be able to become a high-ranking official in the future, so she will work harder to give her son all the good things. The family is not very rich, and there is no more money to take Come out, not to mention that after three years, there will be more money to go to Beijing to rush for the exam, so she has to do the math.

"Second Aunt was joking, I think I am the luckiest person to meet Ah Mu." Li Xi really thinks so, and she doesn't know when this idea changed.

Zhao Mu was moved. If this wasn't the village chief's house, he would probably give his wife a good hug.

After returning home, the two started to act. There are large sheds here, but they are relatively small. Now Li Xi wants to expand the breeding. At least a few hundred chickens and ducks are enough. All of them must be prepared together. Complete is.

The first step is to divide the work. After the wasteland has been measured, it will be ready to open up wasteland. This Li Xi will also help. In the future, two acres of five acres of wasteland will be reserved for planting some fragmentary grains, and the other three acres will be planted with grass. .

Zhao Mu's errands can't stop, so the land reclamation progress is very slow. Every day when he comes back or leaves in the morning, he works for a while, and then there is Mu Xiu, so he can't be busy in the greenhouse anymore. The people in the village, anyway, there are still some skilled craftsmen in the village now, and the men repair the roofs of each house by themselves, and the village head will handle this matter, but Li Xi said that one meal per person is thirty yuan a day money.

"It's all from the folks in the village." When it comes to money, the village chief persuaded him.

"It's just because they are all villagers, so I can't let them suffer. I think thirty Wen is not enough." In conversion, thirty Wen is worth 70 yuan.

"Why is there less? It's all expensive. After all, they don't carry bricks and tiles, they use bamboo and wood, and they just build greenhouses." The village chief still thinks it's too much. In fact, it's right to think about it. Like the previous eight 90s of Xi Na, the money is still very valuable.

"Okay, the village chief, the money I pay is affordable, so they will work even harder."

The village chief was helpless after persuading him to no avail: "Okay, okay, I will follow what you said."

"Well, Brother Zhao Yuan is also resting at home, let him come too. In fact, this job doesn't need many people, ten or twenty is enough. It's all money to make me happy, Second Uncle."

Li Xi's words were obviously biased, but the people who said it liked it, and the village head was also amused, pointing at Li Xi and shaking his head helplessly: "Okay, he is at home, there is nothing to do in the town, so he will come back to help harvest the crops, and the rest There aren’t many more, so let him help you.”

"Thank you, Second Uncle." Li Xi clapped his hands with a smile: "Brother Zhao Yuan is a carpenter, and my house is still short of some furniture. It just so happens that this time I will help."

"You can tell him when the time comes." The village head waved his hand.
