Chapter 444, the First Time to Work.

When I walked out of the cave, it was completely dark outside.

I explained it today, no need to think and study.

Looking at the ox under the acacia tree, he got a little dry corn stalk from the side of the firewood.

This is usually used to start a fire.

Not a lot, just a small pile.

At this time, the scalper was probably thinking that he finally remembered it.

I ate some grass while walking on the road during the day, but no matter I was hungry, I started to eat when I saw the corn stalk handed over by Zhou Xiaochuan. .

In fact, this is not good. It should be chopped up so that the cow is easy to digest.

But he didn't bother to get it. There was spring water, and he wasn't afraid of the cow, which was not good for digestion.

After feeding the cow some hay and spatial spring water, he returned to his room.

Look at the empty big water tank.

He came to the next door and said, "Grandma Miao, lend me the bucket, I'll go get some water."

"It's alright, if there's anything missing at home, you can just use it."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded with a smile, took the wooden bucket, and walked towards the well water.

Looks like it still has to be done.

After running back and forth a few times, I filled up the water in the water tank at home, and then filled up the water tank at the Xiaocao's house next door.

After all, it uses other people's water.

Then he went back to the house to sleep.

Had a good night's sleep.

The next morning around five o'clock, he got up.

Because I have to go to work today.

I don't know why I got up so early. After washing up, I fed the cow some food before I left.

With a kettle and a few tortillas in hand, he came out in the dark.

It is said that it is black, but in fact, it can be seen faintly.

Walking on the road, there are already fellow villagers walking down the mountain in groups of three or five.

The educated youth did not know where to work, so they could only go to Captain Zhao's house.

When they arrived at the place, they saw Feng Yue and the others had already arrived.

Captain Zhao is holding a torch in one hand. In the other hand he was holding his dry tobacco pouch that never left his body.

Captain Feng and Zhao Sanxi were also squatting beside them and smoking.

When Captain Zhao saw that everyone had arrived, he shouted, "Okay, one person will follow with a hoe."

After speaking, he pointed to a few hoes leaning against the wall.

However, there are only 4 hoes, which are naturally held by several men.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan followed and took a handful and put it in his hand.

Several people followed Captain Zhao down the mountain.

On the road, Feng Accounting smiled and said, "We took you a few times before, but next time you have to come by yourself."

Li Guosheng yawned and said, "Accountant Feng, why did you get up so early? This guy is blind and can't work when he arrives."

Feng Accounting heard this and smiled, "You will know when you arrive."

Li Guosheng heard the words lightly.

After coming down the hill, everyone walked towards the east, which was exactly the opposite of the direction in which the wood was chopped that day.

Over a few small hills, and so on to the place.

The sky has brightened up.

At this time, only a few people in Li Guosheng knew why he got up so early.

Because this place is about an hour and a half walk.

In fact, the distance is not too far, about five kilometers or ten miles.

But the mountain road is not easy to walk.

Standing at home, this place can actually be seen here. At first, I felt that the west side was closer than this side, so I didn’t come here.

Looking around here, it is a terraced field with scattered heights.

On the terraced fields,

The turquoise seedlings have a little dew on them.

Near the bottom is a millet field, which is also the largest. Going up, the order is corn seedlings and sorghum seedlings.

All arranged neatly.

One or two cobs had already formed on the corn, and the sorghum had already headed.

Gu apology just hasn't reached full maturity yet.

At this time, there were people everywhere, men and women, some older people in their fifties. There is a little bit of thirteen or fourteen years old.

Either squatting or standing.

There were groups of three or five chatting there, and from time to time there was a playful voice.

There were about seventy or eighty people.

Captain Zhao came to the place and shouted at the other party, "Okay, let's go to work quickly."

The others smiled and walked towards the field.

And Feng accounting also followed uphill.

When Captain Zhao saw the people disperse, he said to a few people, "I will let Sanxi take you to work. You can do whatever Sanxi does."

"In the future, your work points will be calculated according to the work you do, and you will be graded based on your performance in the future."

Several others heard the words lightly.

After Captain Zhao finished speaking, he said to Zhao Sanxi, "Okay, Sanxi, take them to the cornfield."

Sanxi heard the words lightly, and left with eight people.

Passing by the millet field below, Zhou Xiaochuan pulled out a millet and put it into the space while people were not paying attention.

This is enough to make seeds.

Millet porridge is a good thing, so I have to get some.

Looking at this patchwork of terraced fields, he asked strangely, "Brother Sanxi, why is this field planted with millet at the bottom, corn in the middle, and sorghum at the top?"

Zhao Sanxi smiled when he heard the words, "Oh, millet must be planted every year, and corn and sorghum are what we eat. Corn must also be handed in."

Feng Yue heard the words and asked strangely, "What's the point?"

When Zhou Fenglan heard her words, she smiled and said, "Obviously, the more the bottom of the mountain is, the closer it is to the groundwater."

Feng Yue heard the words lightly.

Sanxi smiled and nodded, "Yeah. You are still smart from the city."

Zhang Jingjing also asked his doubts, "Brother Sanxi, your land is so far from home, you are not afraid of others stealing it."

Hearing this, Zhao Sanxi smiled helplessly: "I'm afraid there is no way. However, we are quite far from here, but others are farther away. When the harvest season is about to come, it is enough for someone to watch."

"Actually, we are more afraid of the rabbits and pheasants here than people. That's annoying."

"Steal seeds when you are planting, steal seedlings to eat when they grow into seedlings, and steal food when you harvest them."

Zhang Aijun's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "There are so many pheasants and hares, why don't you catch them, they're all meat."

Hearing his words, Zhao Sanxi smiled, "It would be nice if it was so easy to catch."

While talking, a few came to a cornfield. And there are already people working in the field next door.

Seeing this, Zhao Sanxi smiled and said, "Okay, here we are. We'll get this land."

The people next door saw Sanxi and a few people coming over, so they smiled and said, "Sanxi, can these little comrades have fine skin and tender meat?"

The speaker was an aunt who was about forty years old, and there was an aunt of the same age next to her.

The two were digging a pit with a hoe in their hands.

Zhao Sanxi heard the words and smiled, "Mother Nian, Mama Huai, if you ask me, how do I know."

One of them smiled and said, "You are not too small. It's not bad to find an aunt in the city."

Everyone working nearby was smiling.

Zhao Sanxi blushed when he heard the words.

He muttered something that no one could understand to a few people, which made everyone laugh.

The educated youth were inexplicable, but they probably understood it earlier.

Sanxi ignored them, turned her head and asked a few people, "Who are you hoeing?"

Thinking of something, he said again: "It's not weeding."

The others looked at him strangely for a while after hearing the words, why didn't they come with a hoe?

Sanxi heard the words and smiled,

"Actually, it's not busy with farming now, there's not that much work, just weeding and fertilizing. The grass has almost been removed.

Now all we have to do is dig holes and spread manure.

When someone will send a carload of sheep dung and donkey dung, you should scatter that dung in the pit.

We don't have tools, we can only grab it with our hands. "

The others were dumbfounded.

Even Zhou Xiaochuan secretly cried out that he had lost his way. Grabbing feces with bare hands is still quite discouraging.
