Wu sighed: "It's just that now we don't even have a hoe. Even if we remove the stones, we can't dig up the land immediately."
Moreover, she had asked Jiang Goudan and the others about some matters in the fields before, and knew that cultivating the fields was not that simple. Just leveling and plowing the fields was not enough, the land also had to be cultivated.
Whether it is land preparation or land cultivation, relying solely on hands is very laborious and thankless. After all, they still need to buy several sets of farm tools.
"Mr. Qin has promised to make the things I drew. Before that, let's go to the big yard opposite and borrow a few for use." Shen Qingqian thought for a while.
This group of people is not the only one who lives in this area. It should be an old-fashioned mud house that was abandoned in the past.
Not far from them, there was a particularly large courtyard where all the former prisoners lived.
In the past two days, some people had come over to inquire, but they were very wary and didn't talk much to the visitors, so they naturally went back without saying anything.
Wu was stunned for a moment, "Go and borrow it from the other side? Are they willing?"
After all, the life of a prisoner is not easy, and the people across the street have to do very heavy work every day. Even if they have tools, they still need to use them, so how can they lend them out?
Shen Qingqian said: "The grain has just been harvested now. The seeds have just been planted. There is only weeding and fertilization left in the field. Hoes and shovels should still be borrowed."
But she wasn't sure if she would be willing to borrow it.
"Okay, I'll try it. If it doesn't work, let's talk." Wu was helpless.
Who would have thought that someone like her could one day work in the fields? Moreover, he didn’t even have any farm tools, so he had to find someone to borrow them.
Shen Qingqian originally wanted to talk about some plans for farming, but seeing Wu's sad face, she shut up and left quickly.
In the afternoon, the old lady of the Liu family came to reply to the Wu family with a happy face. They had already exchanged land with others.
After Wu agreed, Mrs. Liu went back happily.
That night, Mrs. Wu told several families that she was going to work in the fields for a day tomorrow. None of them objected, and they all said they would go to the fields with the Shen family tomorrow.
However, after returning home, everyone had some secret feelings.
In the Chen family, as soon as Mrs. Chen mentioned the matter, the family members started talking about it.
"How many people from our family will go tomorrow? We can't all go, right?"
"Yes, our family has the largest number of people. If we all go, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage?"
"Didn't the Liu family also join in? They are all lazy. If more people go, we will suffer a big loss, right?"
"..."
The Chen family talked for a long time, and the underlying meaning behind their words was that they did not want to be taken advantage of by the Liu family, and they even wanted to take the opportunity to be lazy.
Mrs. Chen had a sullen face and said nothing.
Chen Er yawned and spoke, "Are you stupid? Do you know why the Shen family separated from the Wang family? Isn't it because they hate people who are small-minded? And the Shen family is not blind. Whoever suffers is lazy, they Can not you see?"
Anyway, he felt that if those careless people in his family dared to play tricks on the Shen family, they would be kicked out sooner or later.
Judging from how the married brothers get along with the Shen family, they like people who do things seriously and don't play tricks. In other words, everyone should be less calculating and exchange sincerity for sincerity.
Only then did Mrs. Chen speak, "Stop talking about anything. Tomorrow, except those who go to the mine, everyone in our family will follow us to the fields."
Everyone in the Chen family looked at each other, but no one dared to refute the old lady's words.
The same scene also happened in the Liu family, but Mrs. Liu learned to be smart this time and said directly, "Go to the fields for me tomorrow. If there is one missing in any room, don't blame me for being unkind..."
The next day, all members of the Shen family except Shen Xiao were dispatched. Even Sister Jin, who was over one year old, was carried on Xiao Lin's back.
What they didn't expect was that the Chen family, Liu family and the other two families were just like them. Except for those who were not at home, everyone went to the fields.
