Second update, please pink.

Zhou said this, and Lian Shuixin could only listen timidly. After that, he did not tell Zhang these words. However, Zhou asked Lian Shuixin to speak, and did not deliberately carry people behind his back. In this family, she is the god. Everything she said and did was correct, so she did not need to carry people behind his back. So Zhang knew it soon.

"Why are we raising some chickens and ducks, and it's causing him to breastfeed again?" Zhang frowned.

Lian Man'er nodded. Zhou's family was picking the bones in the eggs. Their chicken pen was under the window of the west room of the upper house, which was a long distance from the east room where Zhou lived. Moreover, even if the chickens and ducks were shouting, how loud could they be. The farmers, if they were used to hearing the unique sounds of these farmyards, would not have any hindrance to their lives at all.

Moreover, these nights, Zhang grabbed the chicks and ducks into the west wing to spend the night. Lian Man'er's family didn't sleep well, so it didn't matter to Zhou.

"I think my milk is because I have too many chickens and ducks." Lian Man'er smiled and said, "Mom, you didn't see it. My milk feeds her chickens these days, so I'm willing to feed them."

These days, as long as Lian Man'er or Lian Zhi'er feeds her chickens and ducks, Zhou will then feed her chickens. Even if she has just fed them, it will be the latest chapter.

Zhang also laughed.

"The person who is breastfeeding is strong," Zhang said, "I am afraid that our chickens and ducks will raise better than hers, and she will lose face."

Lian Man'er nodded, and there was another idea that she didn't say. The reason why Zhou was unhappy was because she thought she was the head of the yard, and she could not bear anything in the yard beyond her control.

However, people must learn to adapt to the environment. Lian Man'er thought that in the future, there will be more people and things in this yard that are not controlled by Zhou's family. Zhou's family cannot bear it, so they have to learn to endure it.

Although Zhou said these words and every time he saw Lian Man'er and his face turned gloomy, Lian Man'er's family did not intend to change the place for the chickens and ducks.

They have more to do.

As the saying goes, melons and vegetables are half a year of grain. From this we can see the importance of vegetables and vegetables to farmers. Even the old man gave Lian Man'er's vegetable garden. There are only two or three parts of the land, and they are planted in every corner, so that they can eat it. It is definitely tight. I am afraid it is not enough. If they want to eat a lot of vegetables, they need to open a separate vegetable field.

Lianman'er had already chosen the location of the vegetable field, just behind the newly built shop, on the piece of land they just bought.

The area where Lian Man'er planned to use it to make the vegetable field was a piece of vegetable field that was originally the vegetable field. The others were always deserted. Before the new shop broke ground, Lian Shuixun set a fire and burned all the useless weeds and shrubs. The burned ash fell on the spot. After a spring rain, it was completely integrated with the land and became the best fertilizer to nourish the land.

However, such a land cannot be used to grow vegetables and burn weeds and shrubs. It is just the first step toward refining the land.

What we need to do next is to dig out the roots of these weeds and shrubs, turn over the ground, prepare the ground, and trim the vegetable beds before starting to grow vegetables.

The weather is warm and cold. There are still some days before cropping and growing vegetables. But turning the ground is imminent.

Lian Shouxin had to bring people to build a house, and Wulang and Xiaoqi had to go to school, and the time they could help with work every day was limited. The work of clearing up land and turning over land mainly fell on Zhang, Lian Zhier and Lian Man'er.

Zhang is full of energy and Lian Man'er is full of confidence.

After lunch, Zhang brought Lian Zhier and Lian Man'er to the field with him carrying iron picks and hoes. Wulang and Xiaoqi also followed him with iron picks and picks. There was still some time before school in the afternoon, so the two brothers didn't rest, and wanted to take advantage of this time to help the family do more work.

Lian Man'er waved an iron pickaxe higher than her. This land is fertile black soil, and there are almost no stones in the planting soil. But this does not mean that the task of turning over the ground is easy. Because the land has been deserted, some plots have a hard surface and need to be digged with an iron pickaxe. Some shrubs have developed roots and have to be dug deep to dig out these roots. The roots of the weeds are shallowly buried, but they are everywhere.

My mother was sweating profusely. Half an hour passed and she only took a small piece.

"Brother, Xiaoqi, stop working, go to school quickly, should you be late?" Lian Man'er said.

Goro straightened his waist and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Man'er, this job is much more tiring than I thought. Just you, my sister, and our mother, how many days will it take to finish it?"

"You two should go to school quickly, don't worry about these things. You don't need to do this vegetable field, but we three can definitely be able to open it." Zhang also stopped temporarily and said.

"Mom, I know you can do it." Goro said, "But we don't have enough time. Look, there are still a lot of chickens and ducks in our house, and there are also a lot of work in this shop. You have to cook three meals for the people who build the house. If you open this piece of land, even my father can't stand the labor force."

The question raised by Goro was very practical. Even Man'er looked around. In addition to the land that she wanted to keep for the future homestead, there was also the miscellaneous woods. She wanted to keep it still, she planned to open up all the large area she bought.

However, according to this labor intensity and with the progress of their mother and mother, it really takes many days to complete this task.

Time is a problem, and more important question is: As Goro said, they are not iron-clad, and there is a lot of work at home every day, plus this, they don’t have enough time and energy.

"Mom, it seems we have to hire someone to help." Lian Man'er quickly faced the reality and proposed a solution.

"Yes." Wulang said, "Mom, you can't live without you in the shop. Man'er has to keep the books and has to take care of the clothes. The work at home is pointed at my sister. If you open the vegetable field, you can't even get busy."

Lian Man'er nodded, shops for breakfast, and washer, all of them made money and could not be delayed at all. In other words, their current labor is very valuable and should be used to create greater value, that is, to make more money, rather than tied to the ground to do such a job.

"Now, this vegetable field will be the work in the field in the future, so we may have to hire someone to help us." Lian Man'er thought for a while and said.

They now have 31 acres of land, and the adult laborers in the family are only Lian Shouxin and Zhang. They have to plant these lands, obviously not enough people. Moreover, she still has some money in her hands and plans to buy some land in spring plowing money.

"Mom, what do you think is that?" Lian Man'er's eyes swept across the official road, and her heart immediately moved. She pointed at a place for Zhang to see.

An old farmer drove a yellow cow to walk slowly on the official road. The yellow cow was tied with a scoop and dragged a plow behind him. The old farmer held a whip in one hand and held the armrest of the plow in the other hand and lifted the iron porch slightly, rising above the ground.

"Plowing stick!" Zhang suddenly realized, "Man'er, do you want to hire a plowing stick to help us turn over the ground?"

Use a plow stick to turn the ground, so they just need to follow behind and pick up some grass roots and other debris, which saves both effort and time. They are now able to afford to hire a plow stick.

"Mom, I think. We should buy a plow by ourselves," Lian Man'er said slowly, "There are cows. We should buy one too."

…………

Using a ox to pull a plow stick instead of labor can greatly improve productivity and reduce human labor intensity. However, whether it is a ox or a plow stick, they are quite expensive labor tools and not every household can afford it.

There is no cow or plowing stick in the family.

Of course, Lian Man'er had never experienced the past of the Lian family. What she knew was from Lian Shouxin and Zhang. When the Lian family was richest, the old man Lian bought a house and land in Sanshiliyingzi, but the family did not move back immediately. The land they bought was all for people to farm.

Later, even the old man brought his family back, but the land was not taken back at once. Later, because of the huge expenses, even the old man started selling land and began to reclaim the land and cultivated it by his family, but he was not willing to buy cows and plow sticks.

Later, the Lian family had enough male men, and there were even fewer lands. They did everything themselves, so they couldn't afford it and couldn't afford it.

Buying a cow and a plow stick is a big expense and a big event for the merchants. So after dinner, Lian Man'er's family sat down and began to discuss this matter.

"Man'er, have you forgotten? Is our money enough?" Lian Shouxin asked Lian Man'er.

The new breakfast shop must be covered before farming, and there are tables, chairs, dishes, bowls, spatulas and other things to be purchased. Lian Man'er left a sum of money according to the budget. The breakfast shop also needed a sum of money for turnover working capital. In addition, Lian Man'er also left some money to be used as a cost for farming. Of course, in addition, Lian Man'er also left some money to be used as emergency backup for emergencies. These four sums of money cannot be moved.

As for their daily expenses, as well as the expenses of Goro and Xiaoqi going to school, the daily profits of the breakfast shop can be fully afforded.

"In this case, we still have ninety taels of silver to move." Lian Man'er said. These ninety taels are the silver that Lian Man'er plans to buy some fields before the spring plowing.

"I really have to buy this cow and plow stick." Goro thought for a while and said.

Even Shuxin nodded.

"Buy the cow and plow stick first, and buy less at that time." Lian Shouxin said.

Things have priority. They already have 31 acres of land, and the urgency to increase the purchase of land fell behind the purchase of necessary production tools.

The family discussed how to buy it, and then discussed how to buy it.

"We have never had enough of these in our family, and I don't understand either. We have to find someone who knows the industry to buy it for us." Lian Shouxin said.

"Tomorrow, Wang Shiliu told you that he was going to the market?" Zhang said, "I asked him to send a message to his child, his uncle, and ask my father to buy it for us."

Compared with the Daji in Qingyang Town, the Daji in Kuoshantun has a larger and more prosperous business mule and horse market. Zhang Qingshan's family now raises cattle, sheep, mules, and plows and sticks at home. He used to sell horses and was very familiar with large animals such as cattle, horses, mules and other animals. Now, he has passed these skills to Zhang Qingnian. Sometimes he would go to the mule and horse market in Kuoshantun to help people meet animals and do business intermediaries.

Lian Man'er's family wants to buy these things and ask for help. There is really no one more suitable person than Zhang Qingshan.

"Mom," Lian Man'er quickly slaps Zhang, with his big eyes shiny, "In addition to buying cows and plow sticks, let's ask my grandpa to help us with something else!"
