Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

After the Chinese New Year, everything seems to be speeding up.

On the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, Ergou hurriedly took the train back to Pengcheng. The driver had gone back before the New Year, so he went back now and met the driver at about the same time.

Before leaving, Zhang Xiuhua repeatedly told Ergou not to engage in smuggling, as it was illegal. "You can make money by doing other businesses. There's really no need to take such a risk."

She didn't know whether Ergou could listen to advice. The child was a bit stubborn and most people couldn't persuade him.

Ergou didn't say yes or no, "I'll think about it carefully."

Yaoyao went back to school on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year for extra lessons, Youcai and Jidong went to school on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, and Baolin went back on the seventh day to continue training.

Before Jidong went back to school, she told him to help buy a courtyard house in the capital, "It was Ergou who wanted to buy it. He is busy with business in Pengcheng and can't take care of it. I think it is better to earn more from a fixed deposit than buying a house."

Jidong agreed to help find a house, but he could only buy a house if he had a household registration booklet.

"After the land is divided up at home, I'll ask your uncle to bring it to you."

Jidong nodded.

In the blink of an eye, only Zhuzhu and Jilin were still at home.

The house suddenly became quiet. Li Jianguo also had to go to work, but the family had to divide the land. And the time had been set, and the lottery would be held on the twelfth day of the first lunar month. So he asked for two days off.

All members held a meeting in the threshing ground. The team leader moved a table from the team office. The commune staff who was in charge of the land distribution stood in the front, and each family sat below. The team leader called out each family's name one by one to draw lots.

The elementary school hadn't started yet, so families brought their children here, saying that the children had good luck and might be able to get a smaller number.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't believe this, so she didn't call Zhuzhu and Jilin, she went forward to draw lots.

There were originally 1000 households in Lijiatun, but many households were divided a few years ago, and the number of households increased from 666.66 to . Each person can get one mu of land. According to the knowledge in the book, one mu of land is equal to mu of land. Note that these mu are not the same as the mu she thought before. One mu in the northeast is based on square meters, while one mu in the south or in the book is square meters. This means that one mu of land is equal to mu of the big mu in the northeast, and small mu of land in the south.

Zhang Xiuhua drew number 46, which is considered a relatively high number.

Aunt Wang asked her what her number was.

Zhang Xiuhua told her and asked her what number it was.

"Seventy-eight."

"Not bad." Zhang Xiuhua squeezed in the front and watched No. 1 start to pump the land. She was worried that others would pick all the paddy fields first.

She is from Jiangxi Province. She doesn't like to eat steamed buns every day. She likes to eat rice. If she had paddy fields at home, she wouldn't have to buy rice. There are too few paddy fields in Lijiatun. If the people ahead pick them up, she will have no choice.

As she feared, the yield of paddy fields was much higher than that of dry land, so many families chose paddy fields. When it was her turn, all the paddy fields had been divided up.

But there is one good thing, no one chose Lindi.

After that, several people did not choose the forest land. When it was Xiangxiang's parents' turn, Zhang Xiuhua became nervous. Because their family had secretly grown fungus in the forest before, Li Jianguo helped sell a lot of fungus.

If their family chooses all the forest land, then she...

But what surprised Zhang Xiuhua was that his family did not choose forest land, but only dry land. Zhang Xiuhua was stunned that he did not choose even one acre of forest land.

Zhang Xiuhua has seen videos on growing black fungus, but growing black fungus requires installing a greenhouse, which is very expensive. On the contrary, it is different with forest land! It doesn’t cost much.

However, the fact that they didn't choose the forest land was exactly what she wanted, so she didn't take it to heart.

In a blink of an eye, it was her turn.

Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo agreed that she could not cultivate nine mu of land by herself. According to the principle that forest land is 0.5 of dry land, she chose mu of forest land and one mu of dry land.

There were only 16 acres of forest land in the whole of Lijiatun, and she took it all by herself. The members of the cooperative all looked at Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo with strange eyes.

They were all thinking: How lazy are these two people! There are so many woodlands.

The team leader was worried that the paddy fields and dry land had been taken by the people in front of him, and the people at the end of the line would not want so much forest land and would come back to make trouble. Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the better, and all the land was taken by Zhang Xiuhua's family.

The last few members in the club breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Her choice made Xu Chunying so anxious that she jumped up and down, desperately pulling her sleeve, "Are you crazy? What do you want so much forest land for?!"

Zhang Xiuhua explained to Xu Chunying, "I want to plant fruit trees! The team leader said that I can plant whatever fruit trees I want, and the higher-ups don't care."

The authorities only care about farmland and do not have high requirements for forest land. As long as there are trees in the forest and it does not cause landslides, they will not care.

On the contrary, farmland is strictly managed and can only be used to grow crops. It cannot be converted into forest land or ponds at will.

Xu Chunying glared, "That fruit is not meant to be eaten or drunk, it takes many years to bear fruit, where can you get so many fruit seedlings in such a short time? And even if they are grown, how much money can you make?"

Zhang Xiuhua was determined, "Sister-in-law, you used to sell vegetables, how dare you say that no one buys fruits?"

This sentence choked Xu Chunying.

Li Jiandang also looked at his brother with disapproval on his face, and kept winking at him, suggesting that he should control his brother's wife and not let him do such a thing.

Li Jianguo said, "I'm usually not at home because I'm at work, and Xiuhua has to take care of two children. She can't cultivate so much land by herself. Planting fruit trees is also a good idea."

Li Jiandang was speechless. Others could cultivate so much land, why couldn't she? It was fine that she usually left the housework to the children, but now she refused to even cultivate the land. But her younger brother really spoiled her. Seeing that his younger brother insisted on doing so, he was helpless.

Finally, Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo chose the site.

After making their choice, they were not in a hurry to leave, but watched other families make their choice.

The rest is dry land. Their side is a plain, flat as a mile. There is no high or low terrain in dry land, so there is only a difference in distance.

Everyone was happily choosing a site, and Zhang Xiuhua and Aunt Wang were still discussing what to plant next. Suddenly, they heard Miao Xiaohua's ghostly howling voice coming from inside.

Her voice has always been loud and a bit gravelly, very distinctive, and Zhang Xiuhua only recognizes her voice.

Hearing Miao Xiaohua's shouting, the other members stopped talking and looked towards the family who was choosing the land.

The people behind pulled the people in the encirclement, "What's going on? What happened?"

Everyone felt strange. The forest land had been picked, so what else was there for Miao Xiaohua to wail about? Their land was very long, and the width of a field was only about ten meters, in strips. Even if it was far from home, it was actually not that far. Why was he wailin' like that?

The people in the encirclement were talking about it. They could only hear Jianxin's voice from inside, but couldn't make out what he was saying. The members outside the encirclement immediately thought of a lot of things in their minds, "Could it be that Jianxin transferred his household registration back from Shanghai?"

Since returning from Shanghai that year, Jianxin has been living in his hometown with his children. Last September, the children also studied in the village primary school.

It is normal to transfer the household registration to get the land. After all, Jianxin and his children are Shanghai residents. It only means that he has coupons, but he has no job. Those coupons still need money to buy things. How can it be as cost-effective as land? It is normal to transfer it back.

It cannot be said that they were wrong. In fact, Jianxin had already moved the child’s household registration back when he started school.
