Mingliang nodded, "The land next to the street has been cleared, and now the land reclamation has to go farther west."
Lin Yan's family chose this land because it was easy to open up land. There were not many trees to cut down, and there was also a patch of wild chestnuts. It was some distance away from home, and there was a pheasant forest to the south.
Most people who open up wasteland choose places close to home that are good for land reclamation.
Minglan's family is in Group 15, not close to Lin Yan's family. One is in the north and the other is in the south, spanning dozens of streets. At least it's two or three miles away.
"Your home is in the north, why come here? It's too far."
Mingliang scratched his head, "My mother-in-law asked me to come here to open up wasteland."
Mingming’s mother-in-law, Mingxiang, also came to open up wasteland.
"My grandma likes you very much and wants to be next to your house, so let us come and open up wasteland here."
"It's totally unnecessary. It's okay to be close. It's too far to walk underground." Lin Yan felt that Mingxiang's idea was unwise.
"It's still too late to go and persuade your mother-in-law before we open up wasteland."
Mingliang didn't think so: "It's okay to just walk a little further. Our whole family agrees to do this. Why don't you circle the surrounding land first to avoid being robbed?"
Lin Yan looked around and felt it was necessary. The land is connected into one area, making it easier to take care of in the future.
She went to find Hua Hong and circled a piece of land in the west, about ten acres, to open up wasteland this year.
If wheat cultivation is successful, land reclamation and cultivation must be done. Only by opening up the land first can more wheat be multiplied quickly.
Just like juma, every family has grown it in the past two years, and it has grown to a large scale. The annual output is very high and can supply people's daily needs.
Wheat, unlike roe, will be the main source of food. The more the better.
Spending time in the fields every day and occasionally going to the laboratory, Lin Yan's life was very fulfilling.
Thanks to the efforts of the land reclamation army in full swing, more than half a month later, a large area of land to the west of Sun City was reclaimed. At first glance, it was bare, and the boundaries of each house were marked with stones.
Walking on the street, it no longer looks lush and lush, but looks like a black soil belt separating Pika Plain and Sun City.
Seeing such a scene, Lin Yan thought to himself, the pika plain is flat and very suitable for farming. What would it be like if it could be fully opened.
The wheat that had been planted had sprouted and was growing normally. Lin Yan was very worried, fearing that he might not survive. He had to go to the fields every day to take a look and take notes.
As soon as he came back from the fields that day, Huang Ying came over and asked Lin Yan to go to the civil service court to discuss matters.
Lin Yan asked as he walked: "Why is it so sudden? What do you want to discuss?"
Huang Ying looked at Lin Yan meaningfully, "The Huo family and the Jin family are fighting."
"Why are they fighting?" Lin Yan just felt strange, "Why are the Huo family and the Jin family fighting? Besides, we can just let the arbitral tribunal handle the fight. Why are you looking for me?"
Huang Ying looked at her yellow hair and reminded: "That's the Jin family. They are all big families, and the two sides have had conflicts for a long time. This enclosure fight has intensified the conflicts."
Lin Yan was stunned and realized which Jin family it was.
She has had very few interactions with the Jin family in recent years. Some members of the Jin family have yellow hair, the same color as her hair. Such obvious features can be seen at a glance. She has a close relationship with the Jin family.
Lin Yan also confirmed to Huahong that Jinzai was her father.
Jin Zai comes from the Jin family, a large family with more than 20 people. Jin Zai's mother-in-law, Mrs. Jin, is the head of the family.
Mrs. Jin is an old stubborn and very strong-willed woman who always intervenes in every matter in the family. She firmly believes that only the babies born by her own women are her own.
People like Lin Yan are not from the Jin family.
The women of the Jin family are just like Mrs. Jin, domineering and showy. In contrast, the men of the Jin family are weak and do not even dare to go against the wishes of the family head and care for the children outside.
In Lin Yan's knowledge, Jin Zai never appeared on his own initiative, and she subconsciously felt that they had nothing to do with each other.
As for the matter between Jinzi and Huahong, Huahong never mentioned it voluntarily. But Lin Yan guessed from people's gossip that it was nothing more than two desperate people meeting and accidentally having her.
Bonus regained a new lease of life and had expectations for the future. As for her and Jin Zai not having contact yet, Lin Yan didn't know.
"So, you mean it's related to me?" Lin Yan pointed at herself. She thought this was nonsense. The Jin family had no contact with her.
Huang Ying was also speechless, "Mr. Jin mentioned you and pulled Jin Zai out to take the blame. Do you think you can stay out of it? Huo Yan is the leader of the ninth group and a member of the arbitration tribunal. The Jin family said that the Huo family used their power to bully others. The Huo family said that the Jin family You are messing around and deliberately taking the wasteland opened by the Huo family as your own. Both sides insist on their own opinions. When the Jin family mentions you, the two sides get entangled and insist on dragging you in. This is how things are, you have to be mentally prepared, Jin It’s not easy to mess with my family.”
Huang Ying, who was watching the whole process, really disagreed with the Jin family's style.
Lin Yan was speechless, "I can't solve the problem even if I go there, and the Jin family won't listen to me. They must have their own little ideas."
"Yes, the Jin family just wanted to take advantage. Unexpectedly, the Huo family was a quarrel with each other and refused to give in, so they started fighting. In fact, during this period of time, various families have been having conflicts due to land enclosure and land reclamation, and they often have disputes over land boundaries. I The arbitral tribunal wants you to discuss this matter together."
Lin Yan nodded clearly, and she just said that the arbitral tribunal could resolve the fight, and she didn't need to do anything about it. Huang Ying is good at observing people's words and emotions, so that's pretty much it.
As soon as he entered the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Lin Yan heard noises and crowds of people.
Onlookers formed a circle, including people from the Huo family and Jin family, and more and more people came.
Huang Ying shouted in a loud voice: "Give in, give in."
Seeing them, people squeezed a gap and let her get in.
As soon as they entered, they saw that the Jin family was headed by Jin Yan. She was Mrs. Jin's eldest daughter and the next head of the family. The Huo family is led by Huo Huo, and the two sides are confronting each other, cursing and gesticulating, as if they are about to take action again.
Jin Zai stood aside with his head lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.
Minglan, Fenghua and Baiyun, members of the arbitration tribunal, stood on the other side and watched their quarrel.
Seeing Lin Yan, the crowd suddenly fell silent, and she instantly became the center of attention.
Jin Zai raised his head and glanced at Lin Yan. His originally calm eyes had ups and downs, filled with embarrassment and apology.
He only looked at her secretly in the crowd every time, and never dared to appear in front of her, for fear of causing trouble to her. Unexpectedly, she was still involved.
She is still so young and should not have to endure disputes between adults. It's a pity that he can't do anything, unable to resist his family's arrogance and unreasonableness, so he can only endure it silently.
Lin Yan looked around and saw no fluctuations when he saw Jin Zai, just like when he saw other people.
Such a look made Jinzi extremely sad.
