Crossing the Farmland Happy Events

Ye Chengliang really admired Li Jinge, and he really respected her.He had no relatives in his previous life, and the person who gave birth to him didn't want him anymore, thinking he was a burden, so people like Li Jinge who would rather suffer themselves than want their children to live better, he admired from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time thanked them for taking him in. .Some people may think that if there are too many lice, they are not afraid of biting, but if they are already so poor, what if there are one more and one less?But he knew that it was really not easy to accept him in such a family at this time of year. If he changed to another family, he might have been kicked out early. It's just a big heart, and Li Jinge felt the same in his heart. He is kind, otherwise he would be a selfish person like him, he might starve to death in any corner many times.

He is a person with clear grievances and grievances. If he treats him well, he will treat them twice as well, and if he treats him badly, he will keep it in his heart so that the other party will not feel better.The days are always long, who can have the last laugh can only wait and see.

Before dawn, Zhang Dazhuang woke up. He was hesitant to call Ye Chengliang, but Ye Chengliang had already gone to the ground to light the fire.Although this kid looks thin and small, he is really hardworking and capable.Getting up every day not only cooks the meals, but also burns the kang warmly, making people want to make a nest on the kang.But the weather is getting better and better, and he is going to start digging the mountain land. Since Liu Datong's family has already started to work, it will definitely not be a problem to open up the land.

"Want to see?" Ye Chengliang didn't turn his head, because he knew it was Zhang Dazhuang.If it was Li Jinge walking, he must have the sound of a cane tapping the ground, but this Da Zhuang walks like an elephant crossing the road, giving the illusion that the ground is trembling.

"Well, do you really want to go to the mountains with me?"

"Yes, I've made breakfast. It's in the pot right now. Let's go and come back quickly. Maybe we can catch up with the aunt." Ye Chengliang put a hat on himself after finishing speaking.This hat was also made from the fabric that Haiqing got from her clothes.There are two pieces of Ermian clothes in total, and the leftover material from one is used to make a bag, and the other is used to make a hat and a hand warmer.He hadn't used it before when he was working at home, but it felt really warm wearing it now.

Zhang Dazhuang took a few glances at Ye Chengliang, a little taken aback.Ye Chengliang was born very fair, and his facial features were as beautiful as the people in the paintings. He was wearing well-fitting clothes and a hat, revealing a face that was smaller than ordinary men. No matter how he looked at it, he was just like the people in the city. Like the young master of a rich family.

Ye Chengliang frowned and poked Zhang Dazhuang, "You silly bear, what are you looking at? Why don't you go away?"

Zhang Dazhuang let out an "oh" in a daze, and led the way ahead.

Hongsha Village is named after the Hongsha River in the village. The river is rich in red sand, and when the sun shines on it, it reflects the golden-red light, which is very beautiful.

This is the first time that Ye Chengliang seriously appreciates the scenery of Hongshahe Village since he came here.It is still March, the trees are bare and green, and there is nothing in the field except the roots of the rice harvested last year.But just looking at it is like looking at an ink painting, which makes people feel a sense of tranquility naturally.The pace of life in this season is much slower than that in the busy farming season, especially at this time, when seeing the smoke rising from the roofs of every household, I feel that for a moment the whole person is easy to become indifferent to the world.

It's a pity that he is not the kind of person who is content with the status quo in his bones, and he can't be content with the status quo now.

Among the two mountains around Hongshahe Village, the terrain near the village is relatively high and has a high vegetation density, while the mountain far away has a low terrain and low vegetation density.Generally, people in the village go to the lower mountain to open up the mountain, because the plants there are mostly low shrubs, which are easy to clean up. Even one person can open the land, unlike the high one, where most of the It is impossible to open the old pine tree at the beginning of the year.

The place where Zhang Dazhuang took Ye to enjoy the cool was the slightly shorter mountain named Wubie Mountain.No one knows why it is called Wubie Mountain. It is only known that it was called this name when everyone knew it, and the taller one is called Dabie Mountain.

Ye Chengliang had thought about it before coming here, because the mountainous land where it is opened is high and there is no water, so even if it is opened, it can only grow dry fields.Common dry fields here include corn, soybeans, and sorghum, and some people grow red beans or mung beans, and even sweet potatoes, pumpkins, or potatoes in the mountains that hardly drink water.As for Zhang Dazhuang's family, it is obvious that they must grow staple food, because his family has only one mu of land, and the food they produce is not enough for even their own family, so the planting area must be expanded.

Corn and sorghum are good choices, and of course beans can also be grown.

Ye Chengliang was thinking about it in his heart while looking around.He remembered that when he was in school, a teacher said that where the land is good, the trees are good.If the tree grows well, it means that the land has high nutrient content and good sunlight, so it is worth choosing.

Zhang Dazhuang originally thought that the mountains should be easy to grow, and the vegetation is less, but after hearing what Ye Chengliang said, he felt very reasonable. If the trees grow well there, the food he grows will definitely grow well. good!So Zhang Dazhuang stood with the pickaxe and waited for Ye Chengliang to choose a position.

Since some villagers have successfully opened some, the view of the mountains and forests is wide enough to stand in other people's fields. Ye Chengliang quickly selected a place that would be more than two acres after it was opened, and then asked Zhang Dazhuang. Can it work there.

Zhang Dazhuang felt that there was no problem, so he went to pick up the pickaxe.

Ye Chengliang didn't quite understand who should say hello to when the mountainous area opened up in ancient times, and was wondering if he should go back and ask Li Jinge, when there was a rustling sound from the side, followed by a louder than Zhang A strong man who is even older.

The brawny man seemed to know Zhang Dazhuang, and he smiled when he saw Zhang Dazhuang, "I thought you would be able to do it these two days. Did you choose this place to open land?"

When Zhang Dazhuang saw that it was Liu Datong, he quickly stopped what he was doing, "Brother Datong, where did you drive it? How about my house being next to yours so we can drive."

Liu Datong said with a smile: "If you open all this piece, you can be next to me. The place you chose is very good. I originally wanted to open here, but I am afraid that I will not be able to open it before the spring sowing. There are so many, so I chose the one next to it." As he spoke, Liu Datong pointed to the place where he opened the land.At this glance, it seems that there has been a little achievement, which makes people feel quite happy.

Ye Chengliang thought that this person would know if he asked those questions, so he asked: "Brother, how can Da Zhuang prove that he owns the land here? I'm worried that the Zhang family will want to occupy it again." It’s cheap to be big, but don’t be too busy to make wedding dresses for others, isn’t that tiring for nothing.”

Liu Datong glanced at Ye Chengliang, "What's the name of this little brother?" He heard about Da Zhuang's family from his mother-in-law, but he didn't know what the child's name was.But this child seems to be very smart, not to mention, if the village has special regulations on land reclamation, the Zhang family can really do the land grabbing.

Ye Chengliang said: "My name is Ye Chengliang, and I am sixteen this year. If this elder brother doesn't mind calling me Aliang, you can."

Liu Datong nodded, "The other day I heard from Xiaotong's mother that you had been there. If you don't feel that your elder brother is high-ranking, then just call me Brother Datong just like Da Zhuang. As for how to prove who owns this mountain, it has to be done After confirming that you want to open, go to Lizheng and the clan to say hello. If no one has registered before, you can open. The mountain land you open will not pay tax for the first three years, and you will start to pay in the fourth year, so open the land remember the day."

Ye Chengliang asked again: "If there is no one registered in that clan, what should I do if I insist that someone has registered?"

Liu Datong laughed after hearing this, "Little brother, you are worrying too much. After the registration of this land, you will have to pay a lot of fines if you can't open it that year, and you will not be allowed to register for land reclamation within three years, so no one will do that."

Ye Chengliang expressed that he understood, and after thanking him, he said to Da Zhuang: "Are you sure? We'll go back when we're sure. But you can weigh it up. Can you open these lands this year? Don't occupy it for a year." time."

Zhang Dazhuang said boldly: "Don't worry, it will definitely come out!"

Ye Chengliang thought for a moment that he would be able to come out to help when the weather was warmer, so he decided to do so. After asking Liu Datong how to explain the location of this mountain to Li Zheng, he said hello and went with Da Zhuang. Back to the village.

Liu Datong watched from behind, always felt that these two people walked together like a master and servant (?)

The little Ye Chengliang is in the front, he looks like a county magistrate, and the honest and simple Da Zhuang is like his follower.

Could it be that Da Zhuang is really stupid?

Thinking of Da Zhuang's performance when he was in corvée, Liu Datong always felt that this happened strangely.

At that time, because he and Da Zhuang couldn't afford the corvee tax, they went to serve corvee together and went to the town to build roads.Later, someone at the top found that Da Zhuang was hard-working and very flexible, so they called him over to do other things. Hearing that he was even paid more than before, everyone was envious and said that Da Zhuang must leave well. lucky.He was also happy for Da Zhuang at the time. After all, Da Zhuang's family was too difficult, and it would be good to earn two more.But I didn't expect that Da Zhuang would never come back after he left, and it would be a few years later when he saw him again, and Da Zhuang had become what he is now, and I don't know what happened in these years.

The author has something to say:
