I support my family by farming

"Aniang, there are two hectares of wasteland. I didn't buy it. I was rewarded for my meritorious service." Lu An pointed to the large area in front of him. It's serious, if all the land is opened, she can be regarded as a big landlord.

"An'er is promising, that's great." Feng smiled gratifiedly. Over the years, Lu An was the one she was most ashamed of. It was also the flesh that fell from her body. There was no saying that she had to give up another one for this. , facing Lu Shan every day, is it not a torture for her.

"It's still very troublesome to open up wasteland in these fields." Lu An happily accepted Feng's praise. Although she claims to have grown up, she will still be excited by her parents' compliment, "I'm afraid it will hurt my mother and father in the future. "

"Do you still have a way to buy some fields for the family?" Lu Da looked at the land in front of him eagerly. As a farmer, there is no one who does not love the land.

"What are you buying the fields for? Dad wants to plant them. These are for children." Lu An replied indifferently. There are only a few people in their family, and it is the limit to grow thirty or forty acres.

"What's yours is yours. If you don't want it yourself, why don't you plan it for Dun'er?" Lu Da sternly put on a straight face. The most taboo thing between brothers is not knowing how to settle accounts and getting involved in money matters. He doesn't want Lu Da Shanluan became far away from the relationship in the future, so he made up his mind to break up the money matter.

"Father, how old is Dun'er, besides, I can still earn a few acres of land." Lu An frowned, she was selfish, but she didn't have such a clear calculation with her father and brother.

"Don't talk about it, big sister. Since this land is rewarded, it is yours. Besides, brother has a lot of strength, can he still earn a few acres of land?" Lu Shan's huge body walked a few steps closer, muffled To put it bluntly, he is not one of those idle sluts who stare at his sister's property all day long, and want to be ashamed.

"You guys, our family isn't that poor yet." Lu Da chuckled. Their family was in trouble, but with their family background in the early years, they could still afford a few acres of land.

"If you don't work any more, it will be noon." Feng Shi pretended to be annoyed when she saw the matter was settled. She was looking forward to her family's well-being, thinking that the whole family could eat together around the table in a lively and lively manner. of.

But Lu Da told her that both Lu Shan and Lu An are good, but they are adults after all, and they will have their own small families. If they are forced to live together, it is inevitable that the pots and spoons will touch the eaves of the bowl and hurt them. The relationship is not beautiful, and besides, the family is separated but they don't live together anymore, so can they still deny her as a mother?

The weather in May and June is already very hot, not to mention the corn field that is one person tall. Lu An squatted down to clean up the weeds, and felt that his clothes were soaked in sweat in an instant. Looking at the crumbling corn, Lu An felt depressed. The hair is dry, and if it is not done well, the corn grains will not be full, and the less crop will be her food.

Some corns are still growing strong, while others droop their heads in large swaths and fall to the ground. Unable to bear such a waste of food, Lu An directly cuts off the corn stalks, breaks off the corns and takes them home, saving some Nutrients to the corn next to it.

The land is not long, only about forty or fifty feet long, and it reached the head of the field in one go. Lu An has already packed two large bundles of corn stalks, and there is also a large basket of tender corn. Wiping the sweat from his head, Lu An sat on the ground and peeled it. Corn, she remembers that tender corn is edible, and she often ate it when she was a child, but she couldn't remember when it was ready to eat.

The corns that were broken off were all shriveled, only occasionally two of them looked edible, and sighed, Lu An looked at the ten acres of land with a heavy heart. She knew that these lands had been harmed, but she didn't expect It is so powerful, I think it was not only caused by the disaster during the war.

The yield of corn is large, and one mu of land can produce about ten shi of grain. She has more than ten mu of land, all of which are planted with corn.

"This land has been ruined." Lu Da took off his bamboo hat and fanned the wind. He watched the good crops being ruined like this, and his heart ached. They were all food!

"Yeah, I can only make do with it. It's a good thing we planted corn, otherwise, the yield would not be enough." Lu An replied worriedly. She chose this land in the first place because of the corn. The reason is that corn is called coarse grain, but it is the largest yield.

I went out late, just after walking for a while, the sun was showing its power, and the sweat was dripping down, but Lu An still got into the corn field again. The sun is not the hottest now, and it is okay to go again Otherwise, if you procrastinate for one more day, you will lose one more day.

It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that Lu An and Lu Da and the others called it a day. They couldn't carry the big baskets of corn back, so they had to let Lu An go home first to drive the ox cart. On the way, they met a woman who was also off work. What was different from Lu An was that , They all carried hoes in their hands, and the baskets were full of weeds and the like.

"Is your land in good condition? This year's crops have been ruined." The woman came up to speak familiarly, pointing to the man next to her, "This is Wang Rui who is in charge of my family. You can call him Wang Da."

"I'm in Lu An, I'll be at home for the second time. I'll ask Brother Wang to take care of me in the future." Lu An smiled and stepped forward to salute. This Wang Rui is not tall, not much different from Lu An, but stronger than her. He looks like a real man farmer.

"Just call me Wang Da, we poor people are so particular about it." Wang Rui was caught off guard by Lu An's salute, blushing and replied.

"Yes, then I won't bother you, Big Brother Wang, and we'll chat when I have time." Lu An nodded at Wang Rui before leaving. Her field hadn't been tidied up yet, so there was no time for small talk.

"Let's talk when you have time."

At home, Mrs. Li was taking two children to clean up the house. Hearing Lu An's return, the two children rushed over like calves, one by one hugging Lu An's leg, "Auntie, are you back?"

"I'm back, Fusheng is obedient, take my sister to play, my aunt still has things to do." Lu An stroked Fusheng's head, strode into the room and poured water to drink, sweating a lot, she felt that she was about to dehydrate up.

"There is warm water in the stove, sister, don't drink it cold, it will hurt your health." Li Shi came out of the kitchen with her stomach in her hands, holding the pot in her hand. Lu An was terrified when she saw it, and quickly took the kettle over, and praised her , "Sister-in-law is still thoughtful."

"There's no such thing as being thoughtful or not. I can only do some work like this." Li Shi laughed when she heard this, and continued to wipe the house with a rag, showing no intention of being idle.

"Sister-in-law can just rest, and there is not much work at home, brother and I just do it." Lu An poured half a pot of water in one breath before giving up, the hot sweat on his head was dripping like he had just washed his face. It fell down, wiped it casually, and Lu An led the cow out.

Several large baskets of corn were put on the cart, and bundles of corn stalks were stacked on top of it. Even though it was no longer green, it was still one of the cattle’s favorite foods. “Father, these corn stalks can just surround the yard. It also gives the cows more food."

"Re-erect the fence in the yard, and put it around." Lu Da nodded when he heard the words. He had heard that the corn stalks were a good thing. Look at other species.

"Dashan, if you have time, go to the town to see if you can buy the land. The crops in the field don't matter. New ones will be planted in a few months. The key is to be close to home and easy to cultivate."

"Succeed, dad, how much do you want to buy?"

"Just buy ten acres first. There are crops like corn, so it's not difficult to feed our family." Lu Da looked at the corn with fondness. He was suspicious when the decree was promulgated today. Who would have thought that it could really produce ten stones For grain, there are more than three acres on top of one mu of land.

Lu An drove the car silently, not getting involved in Lu Da's discussion. In this era where parents are not separated, Lu Da can take the initiative to make this decision. I don't know how much he feels guilty about himself.

"Father, mother, father, aunts, you are back. What is this? It's so tall." Fusheng rushed to the side of the car and walked around the car, looking curiously at the corn stalks. He was born a few years ago and hadn't seen him Such a tall crop.

"It's called corn, and it's taller than Fusheng." Feng pulled Fusheng to open the door, and spoke to him gently, "When it's cooked, mother will make white steamed buns for Fusheng, okay?"

"En." Fusheng nodded heavily. In his memory of only a few years, white steamed buns are one of the top few delicious foods, only one behind the stuffed steamed buns.

"Tangtang, Tang." Before Lu An unloaded the car, Dun'er hugged Lu An's thigh tightly, like a pendant, looking at Lu An pitifully with his big round eyes, as if he would cry if he didn't give up. Feel.

"You are such a greedy cat. Eating too much candy will damage your teeth." Lu An bent down and hugged Dun'er, and nodded her nose, "Let the aunt give us hot steamed buns at noon, and the candy will be eaten tomorrow."

Hearing that Lu An didn't give candy, Dun'er's big eyes became dull. In modern society, even children can't resist the charm of candy, let alone this ancient time where candy was rarely eaten.

"I don't have any sweets today, but I still have something good to eat." Lu An hugged Dun'er and took a corn stalk from the car. These corn stalks were specially selected by her. They are juicy, watery, and sweet. The taste is like sugar cane with less sugar.

Carefully peeled off the skin, Lu An gave it to Fu Sheng, "Try it, it's delicious."

"Yes, yes." Dun'er thought it was peeled for her, and stared at Lu An for a long time, but Lu An handed it to Fu Sheng. Fortunately, Dun'er has a good temper, otherwise there would be an earth-shattering event.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll give it to you." Lu An laughed amused by Dun'er's anxious look, watched Fu Sheng take a bite carefully, "Is it delicious, sweet or not?"
