Chapter 567： Big talk

Chapter 567 Unashamed

Tan Anjun patted the boy on the back of the head angrily, and scolded with a smile: "What do you think if you have fish? Don't tell me you are so hungry? I only think about eating all day long."

Yang Lan'er looked slightly startled, and glanced at the man beside him sympathetically.

Yu'er looked at the small river in the distance and pursed his lips. If he remembered correctly, the man who said this just now, didn't their father starve their brothers and mother a few years ago?

Kun'er shrank her neck, covered her painful head, pouted her mouth unconvinced, and lowered her head, muttering: "I grew up hungry since I was a child, eating bran and swallowing vegetables every day, seeing other people eating meat They're all drooling."

He thought it was great to be tall, but he boasted here that he didn't starve them.

Except for Mrs. Zhou, everyone in the group is skilled in martial arts. Kun'er thought she complained quietly, but everyone heard it, and felt a sudden pain in the heart.

A flash of guilt flashed in Tan Anjun's eyes, and there was a faint pain in his heart.

Yang Cunren raised his hand and patted Kuner's immature shoulder, then paused: "Kuner wants to know if there are any fish in the creek, so go and have a look and you'll know, let's go."

After finishing speaking, he took Kun'er and walked ahead.

Yang Lan'er grabbed the big hand of the man beside him, turned her head and smiled at him, and changed the subject: "Let's go, let's see how much water this small river has, and how many paddy fields can be reclaimed from this wasteland."

"Yeah." Tan Anjun nodded, the past cannot be recalled, he can only treat their mother and son doubly better in the days to come.

The surface of the small river is less than two feet wide, and the water is crystal clear. Occasionally, you can see a few small fish swimming underwater.

The children saw the crystal-clear river, but were disappointed not to see any bigger fish.

Yang Lan'er looked at the dark soil under the grass, and then looked at the flat and vast wasteland, raised her lips and said, "It's a pity that this fertile land is so deserted. When I go back, I will ask the housekeeper to immediately recruit people to open up the wasteland. If this piece of land is reclaimed, Probably thousands of acres, right?"

Yang Cunren teased: "Well, if this area is reclaimed, you will be a landlady."

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said: "Lan'er, don't worry about your elder brother's short-sightedness. He can't even speak his mind. There is a shortage of food at the border. I think Lan'er has a long-term vision."

Tan Anjun looked at Mrs. Zhou in surprise, and then nodded: "Sister-in-law is right. There is a shortage of rice and white noodles at the border. The people eat coarse grains. Most of the people can't even afford food and clothing. They survive the winter with hunger and cold. Facing the blue and yellow spring."

No matter how bad the spring is, you can dig wild vegetables everywhere, barely starving to death. The most difficult thing for the elderly and children is to survive the cold winter of hunger and cold.

Yang Lan'er frowned slightly: "The grain output is low, and the farming equipment is outdated, which makes this large area of ​​land deserted, and the people don't have enough food and clothing."

Taxes also remain high.

"So we have to work hard to open up wasteland this year, and strive to grow a few acres of grain next year, so as not to starve in the coming year." Zhou didn't like the heavy atmosphere just now, and pretended to be relaxed.

Yang Lan'er heard the words, "噗嗤" laughed out loud: "Yeah, it's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. It's good to eat coarse grains for one or two meals. I can't stand the first meal."

The atmosphere relaxed again for a moment.

Tan Anjun pointed to the south, and smiled lightly: "There is a village twenty miles to the south. The reason why this wasteland is flat and fertile and no one cultivates it is because no one lives in the vicinity, so it is cheaper for us."

"This wasteland is selected, let's go further west, there should be wasteland over there."
