The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 452 Thinking About Things (2)
Qing Shu took them back to the main room, and then the five of them sat around and ate together.

Xiaoyu brought a plate of pickles, returned to the kitchen, and whispered to Xiaojuan, "Master's hands are blistered, and the lady said that he will dig a tree hole for him in the afternoon. The young master is still so young, so I don't know if he can take it." Can you bear it? Remember, at dinner time, put more meat in the bowls of the young masters, and do it quietly, so that the young lady can't see it."

"How can there be meat dishes at night! The meat brought over yesterday has been used for cooking at noon. The lady said that from the beginning of dinner, I will eat vegetarian food with the young masters, and meat is not allowed in the dishes." Xiaojuan whispered, and quickly served There were two bowls of food, one bowl was passed to Xiaoyu, and the other bowl was held by himself, he took the chopsticks and said, "Let's go out, the guard is waiting to come in and eat!"

Besides, on Qingshu's side, Chen Qiaojiang and Luo Xiaorong were not used to sorghum rice, but they were afraid that Qingshu would say that they were picky eaters, so they could only force themselves to eat it.Since he forced himself to eat, how could his expression be so good!
Qingyang eats with a face of ease.It was probably because Qing Shu often ate whole grain rice with him when he was short of money, which made him not reject it from the bottom of his heart.Hao was also okay, although he ate slowly, he didn't show any pained expression that he couldn't swallow.

In any case, none of them left any food at the bottom of the bowl, and they all ate clean.

Qing Shu let them take a nap for a quarter of an hour, then woke them up, and took them to the wasteland again.In the same way, Qing Shu accompanied them to dig tree pits, and kept an eye on their movements from the corner of his eyes from time to time.

Boys are boys, relatively speaking, they are not as delicate as girls, and they are not as fragile as girls.The blisters in the palm of the hand burst, and I grabbed tools to work again, and everyone knew that it would be very painful.But they endured, no one cried out in pain, they dug the soil one after another, and they still wanted to compete with each other.They have given up on comparing progress with Qing Shu, and now the four of them are single-minded about who can dig faster with each other.

Seeing that he was digging more and more slowly, and had already fallen to the end, Luo Xiaorong was in a hurry, his eyes were flushed, and he seemed to be about to cry.

Qing Shu noticed his strangeness, quickly put down the shovel, came over a few steps, squatted down and asked softly, "Xiao Rong, what's wrong with you?"

Luo Xiaorong lost the shovel, threw himself on Qingshu, wept, and said, "Xiaorong is useless, even Xiaorong can't dig tree pits well, and my brothers can dig faster than Xiaorong."

It turned out that it wasn't because of the pain in his hand that he was crying. Qing Shu calmed down, patted him on the back, and coaxed him with a smile, "Who said Xiao Rong is useless? Xiao Rong is amazing! Xiao Rong is slower than his brothers because he Xiao Rong is the youngest. Younger age means weaker strength, this is a matter of course, Xiao Rong does not need to be sad."

Qingyang and the others threw away their shovels and surrounded him, some touched his head, some patted his back like Qingshu, and even coaxed him with words.Especially Qingyang, who actually patted his chest and said that he would help Xiaorong's brother dig.

Qingshu didn't want to break the rules she set, but before she could speak, Luo Xiaorong rejected Qingyang by himself, sniffling.

The people have been coaxed, Qingshu glanced at the sky, and clapped her hands, "Okay, little men, let's start work. Dig early and go home early." When they were in their positions, she suggested, "You guys If you want, you can work in partnership with two people. But there is one thing, the two people who work in partnership must be voluntary, and you must not complain to each other. If you think that your partner does less work or slow work, you must not say .”

She didn't look at the expressions of the four people, "Work can be divided and cooperated. For example, one person is dedicated to loosening the soil, and the other is dedicated to throwing the loose soil out of the pit. Another example is that partners can take turns to work and take turns to rest. This is just simple physical work, but with a good division of labor, it can also be done happily. Where we are now, it is the easiest place to dig tree pits. You see, if you dig like this, it will basically be soil and rocks Very few, and very small."

She pointed to the place where fifty or so people dug the tree pit in the distance, "It's at the foot of the hill. There are a lot of stones after digging, not only gravel, but also large stones. They are digging At that time, they paid more attention to skills and worked harder than us. So they chose to divide the labor and cooperate, some were responsible for digging up the soil to dig out the stones, and some were responsible for clearing the soil in the pit outside." At this point, she stopped talking, and He dug a tree hole of his own as quickly as possible, and then left the four of them in place, and took the small fish to inspect it.

She didn't go to the side where the tree hole was dug, but to the other side where the land was cleared.Because the land has been barren for many years, and people from nearby villages used to come here from time to time to dig herbs, chop firewood or dig tree roots, so the place is not flat. down the pit.

Since vegetables are to be grown here, leveling the land has become the most important thing.Seeing more than 40 people leveling the land in full swing, they turned it over as well. Qing Shu followed behind and stopped to watch, kicking the newly turned soil from time to time.Just as she thought, except for the rocks in the land at the foot of the hill, there were basically no rocks in the soil here, and there were only scattered small gravels, which did not affect the cultivation of vegetables or crops.

After the initial turning is completed, farmyard manure is applied, and then the second turning is carried out.Afterwards, vegetable beds will be formed in the place where vegetables are grown; plow sticks can be placed in the place where crops are grown, and field ridges can be plowed out.Next, it's time to sow the seeds.After that, it's just waiting, and watching the face of God.Because she still can't solve the water source problem, there is no possibility of artificial irrigation at all, everything depends on whether God will help the farmers to make the weather go well.

She walked for a while, and saw Mr. Lu and his guest Song Xian gesticulating and talking to each other from a distance; while Song Xian's two sons were working together to spread out some kind of large cloth or leather to stand on Mr. Lu's side. He and Song Xian seemed to be talking about something.

Why did Mr. Lu bring Song Xian and his son to the wasteland?She was very curious about this.It's just that Mr. Lu has been refusing to say anything, and she is not sure whether Mr. Lu's trip is for a private matter or hers, so she endured and did not ask.Now that we have encountered each other, why not step forward to see what happened!This idea flashed in her mind, and she walked towards Mr. Lu and the others without hesitation.

When she came closer, Mr. Lu and Song Xian didn't speak, they just looked in the direction of Liangzhou, as if thinking about something.And Song Teng was squatting on the ground to organize the big cloth bags they carried, and Song Da was collecting a pair of big scrolls.

"Second Brother Song, may I have the liberty to ask you what is in your hand?" Qing Shu was so abrupt because she suspected that the large scroll in Song Da's hand might be a map.She really wanted to see what an ancient map looked like.

Song Da looked at his elder brother in surprise.Seeing his elder brother nodding his head lightly, he handed over the large scroll that had just been collected.
