Chapter 97: patient

After buying the land, you have to find a way to grow it. Although the land under the name of Li Qinghe and his wife does not have to pay grain tax, it is a pity that it is the land that was bought for money and left for nothing.
In fact, Li Qinghe had the final word in his heart. It is actually very troublesome to clean up such barren hills to plant the land. There are still many big trees in it. Just cutting trees and digging roots is not a job, and it is not worthwhile.
"Please take the wild grass over there..." She pointed to the back of Yang's house, "There are all wild grass over there. After cutting it out, we will start spring plowing after the Chinese New Year. As for the forest with big trees behind us..."
If you don't move those trees, there are probably only medicinal materials that can be planted in the forest and still have a harvest.
The planting of medicinal materials in the forest was something she had heard of in the last life, vines and shrubs like honeysuckle that like moisture and tolerate shade. She had heard Dr. Huang say casually about this earlier, she had to pick a time to ask for advice, or ask him directly for advice.
Nowadays, no one except doctors can plant medicinal materials at home, and no one can plant medicinal materials at home. Besides, seeds are also a problem.
The next morning, Li Qinghe asked Li Xingwang and the others to find someone and start cleaning up the wasteland.
Li Xingwang is not for everyone to pick people, he has to be someone who can do the job. For example, Zhao Tianfu, he doesn't want it.
After Yu Ermo here has cleaned up his home, he will also follow up the mountain. As for the Chen family, 20 people are invited to work, and eating is also a major event. Zhou Chengkang went directly to the wasteland and built a shed, and bought a big pot to cook for people there.
It's still autumn, and we have to hurry up, or else in the winter, people are willing to do it, but Li Qinghe is not willing to invite it. The winter is short and it is not worthwhile.
Zhou's mother and her children would occasionally come over to watch. Someone knocked on the door of the house that day. Just when Li Qinghe was at home, he opened the door and saw Zhao Wanwan.
The girl seemed to have lived in the village during this time. After opening the door, she squeezed in by herself and replied, "Sister, quickly pull the rhubarb away, I'm afraid of it."
Li Qinghe frowned slightly, "Just say if you have anything, I'm still busy over there."
Zhou Chengkang was busy over there recently and took Yu Ermo away. She was feeding the horses and chickens at home, and she was still preparing horse feed just now.
Seeing her look faintly impatient, Zhao Wanwan did not dare to grind, and said, "You have invited so many people, my dad also wants to help with work, somehow earn some money for the New Year, but he didn't expect him to be unwilling. Dad can't work."
"Uncle is right." Li Qinghe turned and continued to work. "Your father has never been to the ground. Will he mow?"
"No, he can learn." Zhao Wanwan walked to her and squatted down and stretched out her hand, "Do you want me to help you?"
Li Qinghe glanced at her pink gauze, "No, don't stain your clothes." Then he said, "It's his business that your father can learn. I will ask the villagers to do the work. It costs money to make For those who work, I have to clean up a large piece of land after I have paid 300 labors a day. I don’t have much money on hand, and I’m afraid that it won’t be a good year when I clean up the wasteland over there.
I can’t help people. , Let’s talk about work. If there is a group of people who doesn’t like to work and wants to rest, others will inevitably follow the same pattern, which will reduce efficiency.
"How come?" Zhao Wanwan withdrew her hand when she said that she didn't need to help, with a face of disbelief, "You have 50 acres of land together."
Li Qinghe was helpless, "Fifty acres are wasteland and forest. If I rely on them for food, I will starve to death sooner or later."
Even if you want to make money, that's something for the future. At the beginning, you can only fill in money, and it feels like a bottomless pit. If nothing else, just wages, that's not a small sum.
"Why do you use so much money to buy that barren mountain forest? What is the use of it?" Zhao Wanwan looked puzzled, "Just to not lend the money to the villagers?" In fact, she wanted to ask, is it for not? Lend it to her father.
It would be awkward to say this straightforwardly. Li Qinghe frowned, "Why do I have to borrow money if I have money? Even if I didn't buy land, no one would borrow it. Could anyone say that I am not?"
At this moment, Liu Lanhua came out of the backyard with a basin, "Sister, the chicken has finished eating again, do you want to feed it?"
Walking out, I saw Zhao Wanwan squatting in front of Li Qinghe.
The two looked at each other, both uncomfortable.
Li Qinghe was caught in the middle and didn't notice the rigid atmosphere at all. Recently Li Fu and Zhao Dashan were cleaning up on the wasteland over there. Liu Lanhua was at home alone. Her little sister-in-law was sick and could not sleep at night. There is movement in the house. Zhao Dashan simply asked her to help with the work, and when the time came, he would cook for his sister and just talk.
As for this side, I just said that I just eat, help clean up the housework, and don't need money.
At this time, when she heard her question, Li Qinghe said casually, "I have to feed the chickens. There is no fixed food. The chickens will be added after they are eaten. There were a lot of damages. After the weather is cold, it becomes more difficult to raise.
Liu Lanhua smiled, "My elder sister has already raised it very well. My mother also raised a dozen, and finally raised one. Later, when she grew up, she was bitten by the dog."
While talking, she went into the wing to get chicken food, and then went to the backyard.
Zhao Wanwan felt complicated, "Sister, why did you ask her to help you? Do you pay for it?"
Hearing the next four words, Li Qinghe shook his head, "Pure help, my brother-in-law thinks she is boring at home, let her help me work, just eat two meals, no money."
Zhao Wanwan immediately lost her interest. In fact, she just asked casually. Now that she has a different identity, she can't help with work, especially the work of serving chickens and pigs, which is too salty. "Can't I really let my dad help with the work?"
Li Qinghe shook his head, "My uncle is responsible for finding part-time jobs. If I just cram people into it, what should he do?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wanwan said hurriedly, "But he said that if he invited my father, you would be angry."
The words are all up to this point, in other words, they are all disgusted to this point. Normal people shouldn't continue to ask questions, just understand it, and ask them again, but they will have no face.
The yard was quiet, with only the sound of Li Qinghe turning the blades of grass. Zhao Wanwan stood up and sighed, "My husband recently wants to accept disciples. If my sister knows the right one, I can let them come. It will be cheaper. "
Hu Yanxi can also make money.
Speaking of this, I have to mention the places that Qian Lai Xing wrote under his name. Because the talents were exempt from food tax, there were a lot of people who linked up at that time. When they finally got it back, they were fined three years of food tax. Here, Hu Yanxi, everyone is much more cautious. Originally, the villagers were less courageous. The county magistrate said that he was able to get the land back and only fined three years of grain tax. It was pure luck. If there is another time, The land must be sold to the public again.
The prefects have said so, so almost no one can find Hu Yanxi anymore, even before that, they also found him and returned the land.
The way to earn money from the grain tax was cut off, and now it is starting to collect disciples. Shu Xiu is actually not cheap, and it is certainly no problem to feed his family. I heard that Hu Mu has stopped helping. A mother who considers herself to be a scholar, it's hard to work for others.
Zhao Wanwan left by herself. She walked a long way and turned around to look at Li Qinghe's house. She found that the door was still open as she came out, not to mention sending her off, so she didn't come to close the door.
In fact, after Hu Yanxi passed the exam, people who once looked down on their mothers and daughters will now take the initiative to greet them. Only the Li family has the same attitude towards them.
When she went to Li Xingwang, she could still detect the faint disgust in the eyes of their family, especially the eyes of the old man when she looked at her, and there was disgust in the disgust.
In fact, the Yang family next door was rejected after Li Xingwang was found. Yang Lanhong never went out after being brought back. The Yang family was rejected and did not ask to come.
After more than 20 people worked for half a month, a large piece of weeds showed their original soil surface. About ten acres of land were cleaned up. Not only were weeds cleaned up, but the large and small rocks inside were moved to the edge of the soil. When I got up, because it was a barren slope, the soil was not a large piece of land like the flat underneath, but a modern terraced field. When the spring starts, it can be ploughed in spring.
The weather was already cold and it started to drizzle, and it felt very cold when the rain fell. Therefore, no one is invited in the field, and I will talk about it next year.
Besides, those who help have to go home and prepare firewood for the New Year.
I've been very busy recently, thanks to Zhou's mother for helping with the baby.
That night, when it was supposed to be time to sleep, the door was banged. The knocker seemed very anxious. Zhou Chengkang went to drive and said, "I have to go to town, are you going?"
Li Qinghe was confused, "Who is it?"
Zhou Chengkang has already begun to dress, "It's your brother-in-law. His sister is very sick and must be sent to town immediately."
"I'll go too." Li Qinghe put on his clothes and went out. He was already at the gate with a carriage, and outside the door, Liu Lanhua was supporting a weak girl, looking at the night, she was very thin, not as good as her about ten years old. The girl is big.
It seems that it is not an exaggeration that Zhao Dashan has no one to come to propose marriage. Such a girl marries home, not to mention working and having children, she has to worry about her death at any time.
When everyone got on the carriage, Zhao Dashan and Zhou Chengkang sat in front, Li Qinghe got into the carriage, and through the faint candlelight, he saw the girl's face glowing blue, and it seemed that she was going to...
Although knowing that the visit in the middle of the night should be seriously ill, the girl has been very ill for many years. She jumped out of the carriage again, "You wait."
She ran back to the room like a gust of wind. After a few breaths, she took out the two quilts from the room and said, "It's not so bumpy."
Zhao Dashan wiped his face, "Thank you sister."
Two extra quilts were put under the carriage, and the speed was so fast that he went all the way to the hospital of the mayor of Doctor Huang. There were several doctors in the town, and he was the only one who lived in the hospital.
Seeing Zhao Xiaotao’s appearance, the gloom on his face that was awakened as soon as he fell asleep immediately converged. After getting the pulse, he went to the medicine cabinet to grab the medicine. He moved quickly and put the medicine directly after the preparation. Pot, his wife had already made the fire over there and started boiling immediately.
After a quarter of an hour, there was already some medicinal soup color in the medicine jar. Doctor Huang poured it out and couldn’t wait to let it cool. He directly put the medicine bowl into a larger bowl filled with cold water. It seemed that he was not the first. After doing this, I quickly poured the medicine down after a few breaths.
"Fortunately, it came quickly!"
