Chapter 315: Changing Milk Tea Girl’s Name

The death of the leader of the Bone Tribe marked the end of this incident.

No one felt sad about his death. After burning his body and sending away the people from the nearby tribes, the Green Sparrow Tribe began the tense harvest.

There was no room for laxity, as the previous execution assembly had ultimately affected the rapeseed harvest. More than half of the rapeseed had ripened at this point, and a mere squeeze would cause the oil pods to burst.

Thus, Han Cheng had to gather all available manpower to rush the rapeseed harvest during the damp morning hours.

For the original members of the Bone Tribe, who had never done such work before, this task was relatively novel. Since they had recently joined the Green Sparrow Tribe, most were not skilled with tools like sickles. Therefore, they carried the harvested rapeseed back to the tribe's prepared threshing ground.

The task was relatively easy with many hands, considering the population of the Green Sparrow Tribe. The twenty-plus mu (13000 square meters) of rapeseed was not considered much compared to the population.

Each adult was allocated only two to three mu (1300 to 2000 square meters) of land, and everyone pitched in. Within two mornings and one day, all the rapeseed was transported to the threshing ground.

Land cultivation could not be stopped, and it had to be accelerated. Ideally, they would have five to six hundred mu of land by next year.

With this land, once they harvested nearly thirty mu (20000 square meters) of grain this year, they would have enough seeds. When it was time to plant all this land with grain, even if the fish in the river decreased significantly, the Green Sparrow Tribe wouldn't have to worry about food.

Han Cheng looked at the rapeseed piled up in the threshing ground and then at the bare-looking land, pondering this.

This matter required careful consideration and planning. After such a long fishing period, there were fewer fish in the river.

Even if the river flooded and new fish came, the fish in the small river couldn't compare to before.

With forty-seven more people from the Bone Tribe, food consumption would be even greater.

Fortunately, the Green Sparrow Tribe was no longer solely reliant on the river for food.

Building a few houses and intensifying land cultivation would be the main tasks for the Green Sparrow Tribe in the time to come.

Setting these matters aside, an even more pressing matter needed to be done quickly.

That matter was renaming Milk Tea Girl.

I don't know if it's because of this name, but during her time in the Green Sparrow Tribe, Milk Tea Girl had grown taller and had gained some weight. However, what troubled Han Cheng was that her chest still showed no signs of development.

The chests of Xiao Mei and Xiao Li, who were about the same height as her, were almost as big as Han Cheng's fist, but Milk Tea Girl's chest remained similar to Han Cheng's, which made him wonder.

Han Cheng informed the tribe about this matter, and the people were not used to it.

How did Milk Tea Girl become Bai Xue?

At first, they often called her the wrong name, but over time, as they called it more frequently, it didn't seem so tongue-twisting anymore.

Ping Zi was pleased, as were the others who lived with him in the cave, because just a while ago, the Divine Child announced some good news, saying that another house would be built for them all to live in!

Thinking about living in a spacious and bright house like everyone else in a short time filled Ping Zi with boundless energy, and he couldn't wait to build the house all at once.

The people of the Green Sparrow Tribe were not unfamiliar with building houses. They dug foundations, laid foundations, burned fires, poured water, and moved stones.

They were well-versed in this process, and the original members of the Bone Tribe, who were helping out, were amazed.

Especially when they saw the scene of splitting rocks with water, they were even more shocked and almost knelt.

Such large rocks could also be smashed. Is this something that humans can do?

They were shocked, but the subsequent activities made them suffer. Blisters formed on their hands from the bone shovel handles, their shoulders swelled from carrying loads, their arms ached, and when they slept at night, they felt like their bodies were falling apart.

Back then, they envied the tribe's exemplary life, but now that they contributed to it, they realized that achieving such a life was not easy.

It was even more challenging than the hunting they had done before.

And all this was just for building a house.

God knows how those original people built such magnificent walls!

Labor is the source of wealth. In human evolution and development history, labor occupies a critical position.

At the same time, labor can also bring people closer together.

Through this labor, the people of the original Bone Tribe became more harmonious with the elders of the Green Sparrow Tribe.

Of course, this harmony was speaking in general. On a local level, there were sometimes some unpleasant incidents.
