Chapter 3019

Old man yuan dragged a bamboo basket in the field and bent down from time to time to pick up a spike of rice. Although he could bend down once every ten steps, he could not pick up many spikes of rice.

Who doesn't check the rice roughly when collecting it?

Therefore, there are not many ears of rice left in a piece of land for scavengers.

Bend down, straighten up, bend down again, straighten up again, he probably feels tired, so he just bends his back all the time. In this way, the ups and downs of bending down and straightening his body are not very big. He doesn't feel so uncomfortable, and he can save some energy.

After picking up a piece of land, he went to another field. It happened that someone was harvesting nearby. He went over and talked to people and chatted by the way.

"Uncle yuan, how much did you pick up today?"

"Not much," the old man Yuan found a place on the ridge and sat down. He let people see the ears of rice in his bamboo basket and sighed, "life is hard. Everyone harvests very clean."

While cutting rice, the owner's house who was harvesting said loudly, "didn't the third and fourth master go to master Fang's house to cut rice?"

The old man Yuan said sadly, "yes, but there are many people going this year, so he earns twelve Wen a day."

"That's a little less."

"Fortunately, after three meals, the family can save a lot of food."

Old man yuan was even more unhappy. "Master Fang invited many people at home this year, and he will finish it in a few days."

Then someone comforted him, "you have to plant wheat after harvesting rice. You can always find work."

As the sun grew bigger and bigger, the harvester's family also decided to have a rest. People in several nearby fields stopped one after another, threw down their sickles, took water and dry food, and gathered together. They chatted and ate for a rest.

"Fortunately, the harvest is good this year, but where did master Fang invite so many people? I don't think they are from our neighborhood."

"Oh, you don't know yet. Before the Yamen copied the family, those families lost their land and the servants lost their land. Don't you have to come out and find short-term workers?"

"The servant was copied. Isn't that still the servant?"

"It's said that the new county magistrate released many servants. They didn't sell them again, but put them as good people. Everyone also divided two or three mu of land."

"We don't have enough land. How can we give it to the servants?" Someone pulled old man yuan as an example, "isn't old man yuan's house short of land?"

The old man quickly waved his hand and said, "my family has divided the land. Alas, my family is not good at it. Because I saw a doctor and sold a lot of land, I can't make ends meet."

"So you can't get sick."

"I've heard that a medical department has been built in Beihai county. There's no money for seeing a doctor."

"Yes, I've heard that. I've also heard that the state city and our county will be built in the future. It doesn't cost money to see a doctor and get medicine in the next household, and it doesn't cost money to see a doctor in the middle household."

"True or false?"

"Of course it's true. This is what Zhao Laosan, who works at home, said."

"Beihai County, is that far away? Why is the medical department built over there? Built in the state city, we can go anyway. Where is Beihai county? "

"Is the state city going to pass? It's said that it's not far from the state city. The order of the medical department is the wife of the county magistrate of Beihai county. It must be partial to her husband. "

"It's said that Beihai county is very different now. There are many people there and there are many capable jobs. In the past, it was twenty Wen a day. You can find jobs at will."

Old man yuan couldn't help paying attention, "is it true or false?"

"Of course it's true," said the man. "The news came from Lizheng's home. Can it be false? And if you settle over there, you can get land. "

The old man swallowed his saliva and asked, "can the past that has divided the land be divided?"

"Yes, as long as there is no one, we can turn the registered residence to the past."

Old man yuan thought about it.

"Oh, uncle yuan, you can ask your third and fourth to try. They both sold their land, didn't they? Just go and have a look. If you can divide the land, your family will make a lot of money. Are you afraid you can't support yourself in the future? "

"It's so easy to say. It's really not easy to do. If you go to Beihai County, can you meet at home in the future? Do you know where Beihai county is? "

Most of the people here really don't know. They have been to the state city as far as possible, and most of them have been to the county and Beihai County as far away as possible. They have only heard of it.

Uncle yuan dragged the bamboo basket home after sunset. He went out from sunrise. After a busy day, only a third of the ears of rice in the bamboo basket were loaded.

He put the bamboo basket under the eaves. The eldest daughter-in-law came and took a look. She didn't say anything. She took out the ears of rice and hung them in the yard. She turned and went into the kitchen to continue her busy work.

Old man yuan asked, "where are the third and fourth?"

The person in the kitchen answered, "I don't know. I've been back long ago. I don't know where I've gone."

Old man yuan frowned and was about to speak. His two sons came back from the outside happily. They were wet and had two wet clothes in their hands. He knew that they were taking a bath in the river and washed their clothes by the way.

Old man yuan glanced at the clothes hanging in the yard and found that there were no clothes on them. Obviously, the eldest and second family didn't wash their clothes.

Old man yuan sighed and made up his mind. When his two sons had dried their clothes, he said, "come with me. I have something to tell you."

People in the kitchen probably heard that the sound of chopping vegetables was a little louder.

Yuan Sanlang and Yuan Silang didn't care. They went out to talk with his father.

But they couldn't help being surprised, "to Beihai county?"

"Yes," said the old man yuan, "we can't live without moving the trees. We can't get the food at home in March and April this year. We have to repay the food borrowed from your uncle and your uncle's house after paying the tax this year. There's less left. It's going to be harder and harder year by year..."

Yuan Sanlang and Yuan Silang looked very ugly. They interrupted him and said, "Dad, at the beginning, the family sold the land for me and Lao Si to cure my mother. The eldest brother and the second brother had to take out a share. If they couldn't sell our land, they would drive us out."

"It's not to drive out," said the old man yuan, looking at them sadly and helplessly. "If you two go, I'll give you food and money. Everything at home will be divided. Your eldest brother and second brother take advantage of the land, and you'll get more of the rest."

"I won't!" Yuan Silang clung to his neck and shouted, "even if there are more big brothers in the field, we can't live without them, can we? It was agreed that the land would be sold to us, but we also had a share of the land of the eldest brother and the second brother. "

"I can't live," said the old man yuan, who couldn't help patting them. He said sadly and angrily, "if you divide the remaining fields, it's better not to divide your family. Just the two acres of land, can you support yourself, marry a daughter-in-law and serve?"

"If I let you go to Beihai County, you don't have to separate immediately," he said gently. "Go and have a look first. If you can divide the land, your family will separate. If you can't divide the land, you'll take part-time jobs first. It's yours or yours for the Spring Festival or coming home."
