Chapter 191

When Xu Qing came back, he asked Yu Xiaoqian and Li Qinshu. As a result, he was disappointed to learn that Li Qinshu had also visited the bearded cottage.

After making up their mind, the next day Xu Qing's family went out to tidy up the land. They had a large family of nine people and divided a large area. They were all big and small, and they just came out with two children.

The sun is still shining outside, but the wind in the mountain is no longer hot, but slightly cool. The two children are playing in the shade of the tree, muttering that they don't know what to say.

Duanmu ring pulled out the withered grass for a long time, and almost couldn't stretch his waist straight. He said he was puzzled and said, "why do I have land?"

Xu Qing: "if you don't want to eat in winter, you can not plant it."

Duanmu Xiang surrendered immediately: "eat, eat, eat

Duanmu, who grew up with a golden spoon, never went down to work. As a result, he has done everything since he came here.

"Ah Qing, do you think winter will be very cold?" Li Jinmei asked.

"I think it will." Xu Qing said, "we used to be like this. It was very hot in summer and very cold in winter."

"Then we won't have enough firewood." Li Jinmei said, "why don't you cut down these trees in the field and burn them for a few months. We can use them in winter. Then we'll dig another cave to store firewood."

Xu Qing looked at the seven or eight trees of different sizes in the ground. Some of them had thick thighs, while others needed to be hugged by two people.

When the patriarch divided the land, he also deliberately avoided the towering trees, but how could there be no trees in the mountain forest, so there are more or less some trees in each family's land.

There are more than 3000 Jin firewood and 1000 Jin charcoal in Xuqing space. There is no shortage of firewood. What she thought was that the trees would block the light in the field, and the crops would not grow well without light.

"Then cut it." Xu Qing said, "we should chop by ourselves or ask someone to chop."

Li Jinmei came to Xu Qing and said in a low voice, "please cut it. Although we can cut it ourselves, but You know, there are so many people in Li Zhuang's family. After harvesting potatoes, they still go outside to dig the roots of wild vegetables every day. Several children are pale and skinny. "

Xu Qing also lowered his voice: "didn't you send the grain?"

Li Jinmei: "give it away. People don't want it. They say we have children in our own family. It's not easy for anyone in this world. They can't take our things for nothing."

Xu Qing was moved: "their family should be the best I have ever seen."

Li Jinmei: "yes, it's much more comfortable than those who just want to take advantage of others. So I'll ask Li Zhuang to cut down trees. If they are willing to help us bask in firewood, it's better. "

This will help them more.

Xu nodded, suddenly remembered something and laughed: "why don't you just ask them to help us plant the land."

Li Jinmei: "it's good to be really good, but people have to farm their own land. If we plant it first, their own harvest will be much later."

Xu Qing doesn't want to be talked about behind her back that she has food and no place to spend, but not everyone can cut down trees.

Xu Qing sweeps around the mountain. She thinks that there may be many people who want Li Zhuang to help cut down trees.

Later, when Li Zhuang's family almost all came back, Li Jinmei passed by.

"You see, you don't accept my kindness. I suddenly have a favor to ask you for help. It's not very nice to come here." Li Jinmei complains to Aunt Li.

Aunt Li laughed: "what do you want us to do for you?"

Aunt Li thought to herself, there are four men in Li Jinmei's family now, and there is nothing that can't be solved. I don't know what I can do to help her family. It must be Li Jinmei who wants to help them.

Li Jinmei said: "today I go to clean up the land. Several trees in my field are blocking the light, which is too much trouble. So I want to ask Li Zhuang to help us cut down those trees. It would be better if they can be dried into firewood. We don't have to go outside to pick up firewood in winter."

Aunt Li didn't expect this. This is Li Zhuang's strong point. She went to call Li Zhuang.

Of course, Li Zhuang said there was no problem.

Li Jinmei: "don't delay your own farming?"

Aunt Li waved her hand: "no delay, no delay. Li Zhuang has all the time."

Li Jinmei nodded happily: "that's good. There are eight trees in my field, three of which are very big. The reward is calculated according to five cakes for big trees and three cakes for small trees."

With that, Li Jinmei took out a woman's palm sized dough cake from the basket. This kind of dough cake has no stuffing, so it's lighter, less water and more durable.

"It's this kind of pastry. Do you think it's ok?" Li Jinmei asked.

"Yes, yes." Li Zhuang said that even if Li Jinmei didn't pay him, he was willing to do it. He would repay his kindness by pouring water. Xu Qing had helped his family so much before, and his little things were not enough to repay him.

Both Li Zhuang and Aunt Li thought that the reward Li Jinmei said was the reward for drying firewood in the back.Li Jinmei didn't make it clear on purpose. She would pay for the firewood drying in the future, but Li Zhuang's family would not accept it, otherwise she would be angry.

"Here's the cake. Remember to help me cut down the tree earlier."

Li Jinmei turned around and left without giving Li Zhuang any room to refuse.

She went back happily. On the way back, she met some women in the village, so she went over and talked about her family's advantages and disadvantages at random. She inadvertently mentioned that she had asked Li Zhuang to cut down the trees in her home.

As soon as these women heard this, they thought of the trees in their own fields and couldn't help worrying.

They can't cut such a strong tree themselves.

After Li Jinmei left, the women discussed, "Hey, do you want to ask Li Zhuang how much he will pay for cutting down a tree? Are two potatoes enough

Xu Qingkai's price is the first. Considering that everyone is in a hurry to cultivate land, Li Zhuang can't have time to cut it slowly, so he can only choose. He must choose the one with higher remuneration, and he will certainly compare the remuneration given by Xu Qing, even if the remuneration is less.

Li Zhuang's experience in cutting trees and drying firewood was all practiced when he helped Xu Qing to provide firewood. All the men in his family are good at cutting trees, drying firewood is a common skill of the whole family, and Li Zhuang's firewood is also well proportioned and good.

So after the topic of tree cutting spread in the village, many people went to Li Zhuang to ask about the market. It's better to spend a little money to solve it.

Li Zhuang himself is not smart, but his mother is smart. Aunt Li didn't promise these people early. She said that she would wait until she helped Xu Qing cut down the trees. After all, Xu Qing was the first one to come. He had to come first and then come. Besides, all the men in your family haven't come back yet. It's better to come again after discussion.
