Chapter 111： proposal

Mu Yangling hid the rabbit in the pyre and picked it back. Ma Liu was taking Xiuhong to tidy up the private plot behind the house. It was used for planting vegetables. Ma Liu planned to sort it out first, so that the seeds could be planted when the weather turned warmer. Planting vegetables.

Mu Yangling put the firewood in the kitchen, carried two rabbits and put them at the door secretly, and waved to Xiuhong who was behind the house.

Xiuhong glanced at her grandmother and ran back, "Cousin, what's the matter?"

"I beat two rabbits. You will take them with you when you take Xiulan to pick up firewood. When you come back, you will say that you picked them up in the mountains."

Xiuhong opened her mouth wide, "Can you pick up rabbits too?"

"Why can't you? You just said that you were not picking up the firewood, and the two rabbits were fighting and rushed over. You waved the firewood in your hand and hit it. You happened to hit one, and the other hit the tree. I fainted, and you have to say that there are many rabbits in the woods, but unfortunately you didn't dare to go in."

Xiuhong blinked, nodded and said, "I remember my cousin."

"Then go, I'll go work with your grandma."

"Cousin, Young Master Fan is here." Xiuhong was about to leave when she saw Fan Zijin coming over on a horse.

Mu Yangling straightened his waist and looked over, then waved to Xiuhong: "You go, just pick up some firewood at the foot of the mountain."

Xiuhong trotted away, and Mu Yangling stood on the side of the road, waiting for Fan Zijin to come.

Fan Zijin looked down at Mu Yangling and asked with a smile, "How is it? Are you satisfied with the land allocated to your family?"

Mu Yangling didn't smile, and said: "I'm very satisfied, what about Qi Haoran? Why doesn't he come?"

"He's busy. He follows the soldiers to train and build houses all day long. He doesn't even have time to do his homework." gone.

Mu Yangling was silent for a while and asked, "Does he not understand the quality of the earth?"

Fan Zijin burst out laughing, "Don't talk about him, it's just me who got to know a little bit in the past two days, what, you understand?"

"I don't understand either, but I know that farming requires water, neither more nor less, more floods and less droughts."

"A three-year-old knows it."

"The three-year-old must not know that the river water will rise in spring this year. Maybe the land near the river will be flooded, and there may be drought after summer."

Fan Zijin put away the smile on his face, jumped off the horse, walked to Mu Yangling, and asked seriously, "Is it your guess again?"

Mu Yangling looked at him insistently, "Even if there is no drought this summer, building water will be beneficial to everyone."

"You said it nicely. We don't need people to build water conservancy projects? Now everyone has to build houses, camps, and training. Haoran can't do it with three heads and six arms." Fan Zijin was a little irritable. He didn't want Haoran to be too tired, but he felt What Mu Yangling said made sense, and became entangled for a while.

Mu Yangling was also a little discouraged, "But I'm really worried that next year's harvest will not be good, and the lack of food and grass is the next thing, I'm afraid that so many people will have no food and clothing, and we are all under the name of General Qi. Next, do you think the imperial court will open warehouses for disaster relief?"

Fan Zijin's face sank and he thought seriously.

Mu Yangling sighed when he saw that his face was not good-looking: "Forget it, what is important now is when the farm tools will arrive. There are so many weeds in the field that they have to be turned over, otherwise how will they be planted in spring?"

Fan Zijin coughed lightly and asked, "How do you plan to plant it?"

Mu Yangling glared at him, "How else can I plant? I only have two hands, and only two and a half can work in my family, one for me, one for my aunt, and half for Xiuhong. I have never planted, I don't know. How much can be planted, but first plant wheat on the top 20 mu of land on both sides, and then go to the middle land to serve the army fields in the south, even if it is rough and badly cultivated, it must be enough for 40 mu.”

Mu Yangling looked at him sadly, "You guys helped me choose a good place."

Fan Zijin coughed uncomfortably, and said, "This land was chosen by Haoran. He thinks that the land facing the river in the east is connected into a large area, which must be good, and the mountain is in the south, and you are used to hunting, and there is enough land there. I drew a circle for you."

Mu Yangling snorted, "Thank him for me."

Fan Zijin lowered his head and smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I will bring it."

Ma Liushi came back from the field and saw Fan Zijin's back, and said strangely: "Why don't you ask Fan Gongzi to sit in the room?"

"I'm afraid that the kang in our house will fall down again." Seeing Ma Liu's blame looking at him, Mu Yangling hurriedly laughed and said, "No, isn't there something to entertain at home? It's not good to let him in."

Ma Liushi didn't speak.

"Auntie, I'll go down to the field with you in a while, let's get rid of the grass from the first-class fields."

"How can I get rid of it without a hoe?" Ma Liu said worriedly.

"Set fire, if a fire is burned, the ashes can still be used as fertilizer."

"How about that?" Ma Liu waved his hand and said, "What if the fire accidentally spreads into the woods? No, no, definitely not."

Mu Yangling patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, auntie, I have a way to ensure that I won't be able to burn the woods, not only the woods, but also other people's fields, so we'll go and pull up the grass on the edge first. , the ones there cannot be burned, and if they are separated by a section, the fire will not be able to burn.”

"Isn't the wind just over?"

"So we have to choose a morning when there is no wind to burn. Look at it. I will burn a little at a time, and it will spread slowly. Once it expands, it will be extinguished. It will not get out of control." Although Mu Yangling didn't let it go. Excessive fire, but she has been trained in fire fighting and has abundant theoretical knowledge. She decided to try it out tomorrow morning.

Ma Liu saw that she was so confident and confident, and slowly believed it, "Then let me know when you set the fire, I have to be prepared."

Mu Yangling nodded, "Don't worry, I wouldn't dare to set fire alone."

"If it can be burned with fire, it will be much easier. We just need to turn the soil and compost it later." Ma Liu pondered: "Well, if there is wind tomorrow, you can go to Xishan Village. If not, you can go to Xishan Village. Go the day after tomorrow and come back with more farm tools as soon as possible, we can’t wait for the farm tools above to come down to work, otherwise we will definitely not be able to do much.”

Mu Yangling responded.

At noon, the three little ones came back with three bundles of firewood, Xiuhong and Xiulan each carrying a rabbit, and they shouted loudly before they entered the door: "Grandma, grandma, what do we bring back? ?"

Ma Liu was taken aback when he saw the rabbit, "Where did you get this thing?"

Xiuhong took out Mu Yangling's set of rhetoric, vividly and vividly, and gestured with her hands, not to mention Ma Liu, if Mu Yangling knew in advance what was going on, he would have believed it.

Ma Liu's face was full of smiles, "Okay, okay, but you can only be at the foot of the mountain in the future, you can't enter the mountain, you know?"

Xiuhong nodded with a smile, turned around and gave Mu Yangling a smug look.
