When Mu Shi returned to the camp, there were still more than ten acres of wheat left to plant. Mu Yangling and Ma Liu were pulling a plow and a plow. It took three days to plant them, and only the south corner was left. There are two acres of high-grade land and two acres of medium-sized land that were left on purpose.
"A-Ling, I think I'll plant it together with the previous one. What an experiment?" Ma Liushi felt that his waist was almost unable to straighten, and he really didn't want to toss with Mu Yangling slowly.
Mu Yangling insisted, "Auntie, there are many ways of farming, I just want to try different methods for harvesting, and next year we can choose a better method. It's worth it, but the labor intensity these days is too much, you should rest for two days, anyway, I haven't lived a long time now, so keep these two pieces of land for two days."
Ma Liu frowned, she was not used to resting before finishing her work.
But Mu Yangling got up and said: "I went to cousin Li's house to see, he has forty acres of land, only mother and son, now cousin Li has returned to the camp again, it must not be finished, I went to help for two days, You and Bowen and they rest."
Mrs. Ma Liu heard what she said, thinking of the difficulties of the orphans and widows, and hurriedly said: "Okay, go ahead, there is me at home."
Mu Yangling went to Liu Li's house early in the morning with a fish. She hadn't been in the mountains for a long time. The family had to eat meat these days. Although it was a bit boring, as long as there was meat to eat, they would work hard. Powerful.
It was not too late for Mu Yangling to arrive at Liu Li's house, but Liu Ma's family was no longer at home. Mu Yangling stretched out his head and looked around outside the yard. When he saw the iron plow in the corner, he jumped in with one hand on the fence and put the The fish was thrown into the kitchen and jumped out again with the plough on its back.
At this time, it was a busy time for farming, and there were only children under the age of five who could not go to the fields in the whole village. Mu Yangling casually asked, "Do you know where Liu Li's land is?"
"Who is Liu Li?"
Mu Yangling pointed to Liu Li's house, and the child she was holding on said in a milky voice, "Oh, you said that Grandma Ma, her home is under the ridge, I'll take you there."
Liu Li was very tough when he split up the family. He didn't want the 100 acres of military land, but chose the best 40 acres of land to be connected together. The third uncle was concerned about his current status and did not dare to oppose it, but could only swallow. This breath, but some cold-eyed remarks are indispensable.
When Mu Yangling arrived at Lingxia, the third uncle was standing on the field ridge and scolding, saying that Liu Ma had crossed the line and occupied her land.
Liu Ma swallowed his anger and held the **** in the field, hoeing the field, as if he didn't hear it.
There are many people at the bottom of the ridge who are watching the excitement secretly. They all know that Mrs. Liu Ma is the daughter-in-law of the third uncle.
At that time, people would probably say that an unfilial mother would be unfilial when she gave birth to a son. For the sake of her son, Liu Ma could only bear this breath at this time, and he could not even tell him after his son came back.
Mu Yangling felt black face when she heard the gossip, she strode over with the iron plough on her back, stood directly behind the third uncle, and said, "Third uncle, what are you scolding?"
The third aunt was startled, and when she turned around and saw Mu Yangling, she couldn't help but slapped her and said angrily, "Why are you standing behind people and talking? There's no sound when you walk, it's a cat?"
"I'm walking very loudly. It's because you were too focused on scolding people and didn't pay attention."
The third uncle looked embarrassed and asked, "Why are you here?" Her eyes were glued to the iron plow on her shoulder.
Mu Yangling said calmly: "I'm here to help cousin Li, why, third aunt also came to help your grandson? That's right, he passed away early, and only my aunt brought cousin Li at home. Now cousin Li Going to join the army for your whole family, there is only one widowed mother left, but can't you help? Then the third aunt will help the plow with me, and let my cousin plant the seeds."
The third uncle's face was dark, but she couldn't say anything unpleasant to Mu Yangling, so she could only suppress the anger in her heart, and said with a strange voice, "Yo, A Linglian is his own uncle. The grandfather doesn't help, so why don't you help Ali first?"
Mu Yangling smiled indifferently and said: "My uncle has a lot of family, so I don't care about me, but cousin Li has only one aunt and cousin. Although he doesn't have much land, he can't grow it by one person, so I can't help. What about it? Besides, last time my family was farming, cousin Li ran over to help my family for two days. "
Mu Yangling's voice was so loud that everyone in the field heard it and lowered their heads in embarrassment.
All the Liu family members, even those who came from Linshan Village, were not immune to Mu Yangling's favor. They all knew that the Mu family's father and daughter could not farm, but apart from Liu Li and Liu Yong, no one was willing to help.
Liu Zhuang brothers passed by because they were the closest relatives and never left behind in anything, so they couldn't compare.
Liu Yong's family is fine, there are parents and a younger brother in the family, but Liu Li's family is really difficult, there is only one widowed mother in the family.
Liu He was originally sitting on the ground to rest, and when he heard the words, he could not help standing up ashamed. At first, he was thinking of letting Liu Dacang help after his family's land was finished. After all, the Mu family's father and daughter would not be able to farm, so the speed must be slow. , when the time comes, they will go to help close the end. Who knows that Mu Yangling will run over to help Liu Li before he has finished planting his own land.
He was even more ashamed as a patriarch.
No matter what they thought, Mu Yangling dragged the third uncle to the ground, and the third uncle hurriedly struggled: "Ah Ling, auntie is also difficult, look at our family's so much land, where can we spare time? Come? I'll go back to plant my own land first."
Mu Yangling looked down at the ground under his eyes and said, "I just heard what the third aunt said, my cousin crossed your land? This is a big event, and it cannot be delayed." On Liu He's body, he said, "It happened to be with my uncle and fellow villagers. Why don't you let them measure? So that your family doesn't get hurt."
As soon as these words came out, even the third uncle couldn't sit still. He hurriedly walked over and said, "Ah Ling, your aunt is talking nonsense. There are no signs in this place, so she will inevitably see it wrong."
Mu Yangling asked his face directly, "The third uncle, do you think the cousin aunt occupied your land?"
The third uncle was silent for a moment. Seeing Mu Yangling staring at him with bright eyes, he must come to a conclusion, so he lowered his head and said, "No, it's inevitable that you will be dazzled when you are old."
"Okay, since the third uncle is worried that there is no sign to admit your mistake, then I will set up a sign for you." Mu Yangling put down the iron plow and walked to the road. When he got to the roadside, he directly picked the largest stone and carried it over and placed it at the junction. , patted the stone and said to the stunned third uncle and husband and wife: "No one wants to move such a large stone, and no one wants to occupy someone else in the future, everyone just needs to see it."
The third uncle and the third uncle felt the same bitterness as swallowing a pound of Huanglian.
Liu Ma, who was moved to tears, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
