Chapter 190

Sure enough, two days later, everyone was saying that after Cheng Dafang was kicked by Li Changting, he couldn't get out of bed when he went back. He was pale and sweating all over. The barefoot doctor went to see him and said that he was seriously ill and would not live long.

Cheng Wentao swore at the entrance of his cave, saying that if it wasn't for Li Changting's kick, his father would have lived well!

He also said that if his father died, he was killed by Li Changting. Li Changting had to pay for his father's life!

Some people can't see it any more. They say, "Li Changting gave you all the salt in your house. If you have the ability, you can return all the salt back!"

Cheng Wentao: "fart, it was given to me by the imperial court!"

"You're farting. It's from Li Changting's hard work!"

"You're going to beat me!"

"Come on, who's afraid of who!"

Xu Qing and Li Changting ignore Cheng Wentao's noise. These days, every night they quietly go to the cave where the bamboo baskets are used to grow grain to irrigate the crops with spring water. The crops in the bamboo baskets ripen rapidly with naked eyes.

The potatoes they planted in early July will be ripe by the end of September.

Every family planed out the mature potatoes, and a series of potatoes, large and small, were connected under a potato plant, which was very gratifying.

At the beginning, they worked hard to dig the cave. Every family tried to put bamboo baskets into the cave. They also put a lot of bamboo baskets in the cave where they lived. Now they count the harvest and find that they can barely support their next crop maturity.

But anyway, it's good to get something.

Just as everyone lamented that they would have to live half starved and half fed in the next three months, the patriarch suddenly called on everyone to say two things.

It was Xu Qing who didn't come to talk.

Xu Qing: "now it's late September, and the weather outside will turn cool immediately. At that time, we can plant some potatoes and sweet potatoes outside. On our mountain, we should pull up all the grass and divide each person a piece of land. In autumn, we should plant more crops. Otherwise, the crops will grow slowly in winter, and we will be hungry at that time. "

Xu Qing's words made everyone open up.

Yeah, why didn't they think of it!

The sun is not so big, you can grow food outside!

These two mountains are so big that they can have a good rest. They can grow a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes. Only in the cold winter can they have food for the winter!

"I think I can go outside and dig the ground now. It's not as hot as before!" Someone cried excitedly.

The patriarch said, "don't worry. We'll wait for one day. When we divide the area for each family today, we'll have no objection. It's not too late to turn over the land tomorrow."

They all nodded, trying to raise their hands and feet.

Xu Qing: "let me talk about the second thing. I heard that there are people in the village who want to move to Xinghu or bearded village in Hezhou. You decide whether you want to move or not. If you move there and something bad happens in the future, don't blame me for telling you such a place. It's none of my business. It's good to stay outside and stay in the village and stay in the village. You can think about it before you make a decision. "

They all nodded to show that they understood Xu Qing's meaning.

"Xu Qing, will your family move away?" Someone asked.

Xu Qing: "not for the time being. I don't know in the future. Let's talk about it."

After that, the patriarch also took Li Jing and Gao Laoer to divide the land area according to the population.

After planting land outside, there will be no need for patrols. Fortunately, the weather will improve and it won't take much effort to go out for a walk.

The next day, everyone in the village went out to listen to the patriarch divide the land for them.

In places close to water sources, priority should be given to those who have children at home, or those who are old and have inconvenient legs and feet. Young people will suffer losses and choose the land that is lower.

However, many people didn't rush to dig the soil. They discussed with each other for a long time. Finally, they went to ask the patriarch for instructions and said that they wanted to go to the beard village to see the situation in person.

As soon as this is said, there are more people who want to see it. There are also people who want to go to Hezhou. However, considering that there are so many people in Hezhou, the land may not be divided enough. In this way, it's better to go to bearded cottage.

However, it will take at least six or seven days to go this time. A group of people are indecisive, but after thinking about it, they finally decide to go and have a look, otherwise they will not feel at ease.

Li Jing has been there once and knows how to get there. Now that everyone has decided, he should take his clothes and food with him and set out immediately. He can travel day and night, go early and return early.

In the evening, Xu Qingjin held a family meeting with Li Changting to decide whether to go to beard or not.

Li Jinmei means they listen to Xu Qing and Li Changting, so they have to make a decision first, otherwise it will affect the new crop of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

"Ah Qing, what do you mean?" Li Changting asked her,

"what I think is that we don't lack food. It's better to be in a place where there are fewer people, so that things won't attract people's attention. If there are many people and eyes in the beard, we don't dare to take out good things casually.""Then stay."

"Fewer people have the advantage of less people, and more people also have the advantage of more people. It's close to the lake, which is much wider than our side. The scenery is good, and there are still fresh lake food to eat."

Life is so tangled, there is always no way to have the best of both worlds.

Duanmu rang: "beard, they only occupy two mountains, and there is a large uncultivated area on the other side. Can't we live alone?"

Xu Qing: "but when we lived in the past, as people in the village, we had to take some responsibilities, such as patrolling and guarding. This pavilion certainly can't escape, such as curing people. Would you like to go out to see a doctor in the cold winter?"

Duanmu ring I don't want to

People are selfish, the priority is always their own and family, Xu Qing does not like this extra pay.

Li Changting: "I choose to stay. If there are still people in the village who choose to stay, the patriarch's family will certainly not go. We can still live well without water and land."

Xu Qing nodded: "let's stay. We are all familiar with each other, and we are familiar with each other's temperament. It's better than running in with a group of strangers. It's very troublesome."

Xu Qing told Li Jinmei about his decision to stay, but the family had no objection. So Xu Qing went to talk to the patriarch.

The patriarch's own decision was to stay.

He thought more complicated. He was in Changxi village, and he could take care of the villagers. If he went to other people's territory, he would have to listen to others. He was no longer the head of the clan, so many things would be inconvenient to come forward, and it was not bad to stay here. He had a feeling for living in this cave.
