The second daughter-in-law, Zhao Guiqin, was shocked.
"How can this be done?"
Lu Tiesheng glanced at her: "Why not? One acre of paddy field costs more, and one acre of forest costs more. You can calculate it yourself. The forest can't grow food, so you have to subsidize it from other aspects, right?"
Wang Xuelan also said: "Your father is right. The forest will need to be cultivated for at least two or three years. It cannot be sold immediately, and it is not very valuable wood. If you are jealous, you can pick out the forest yourself first." Just go."
After saying this, everyone shut up.
They had never thought about wanting that forest, and they couldn't grow food. It would take several years to harvest a tree, so what did they need it for?
Looking back, if the harvest is good, our paddy fields will catch up with the income from selling trees in a year or two.
Tian Chunyan asked hurriedly: "Father, mother, yesterday you two elders said that we three families should choose first, do you still count?"
"Now that I have said this, it certainly counts." Lu Tiesheng said, turning to look at Yun Cuihe, "Mr. Yun, your family has been separated for so long, and you have not been with your parents in these years. Today we are separated. Let the three families choose the land first, do you have any objections?"
Yun Cuihe smiled and shook his head.
"It's dad's arrangement, I have no objection."
It was an unexpected surprise to receive fifteen taels of silver today, so why did she have any objections?
Even if what she got in the end was more than 20 acres of mountains, she still accepted it.
Lu Tiesheng felt comforted when he saw Yun Cuihe being so considerate. He quickly turned to look at Wang Xuelan: "When we go back to divide the chickens, give one more to the third daughter-in-law's family."
The head of the house all spoke, and Wang Xuelan nodded of course.
"OK."
Next, the eldest and second family each asked for six acres of medium paddy fields, and the fourth family asked for four acres of high-quality paddy fields. More than twenty acres of mountains fell to Yun Cuihe's family.
I got a mountain out of thin air. Although the area is not very big, I am still happy.
After all, their family now has land and mountains.
After dividing the fields, Wang Xuelan went to catch chickens.
Before Yun Cuihe's family left, they also brought two females, one male and three chickens, and asked the two sisters-in-law from the first and second bedrooms to arrange them behind the scenes for a long time.
But Chu Yue was extremely happy.
When she was eating eggs last night, she was just thinking about raising some chickens at home to lay eggs for her to eat. She didn't expect that she would realize it so quickly.
After returning home, Lu Xinghe hurriedly built a space for the chickens in a corner of the yard to prevent the chickens from pooping everywhere and making the yard smelly.
After finishing the circle around the chickens, they mixed the mud and built a solid chicken nest for the chickens using wooden boards and stones picked up by the Lu Xingping brothers.
After all this tossing, it was afternoon.
In the evening, when the mud on the walls of the chicken coop was almost dry, Lu Xinghe also put a thick layer of rice and platycodon in the chicken coop to prevent moisture.
Because Chu Yue had a foot injury, she rested at home for a day. The family did not let her do anything. She was so idle that she had no choice but to go to Yun Cuihe to learn needlework.
However, embroidery requires both talent and patience.
After Chu Yue sat for one day, she didn't want to sit for the second day.
Fortunately, her foot was almost healed on the third day. After breakfast early in the morning, she took the basket and went to the mountains with the three brothers Lu Xinghe.
"Sister-in-law, be careful, don't twist your foot again." Lu Xingping reminded as he walked.
Lu Xingan raised his eyebrows: "Can't you just hope that my sister-in-law will do better?"
Lu Xingping realized what he said was wrong and stuck out his tongue.
"Aren't I also worried about my sister-in-law's feet?"
Looking at the two children, Chu Yue smiled: "It's okay. I have received Xingping's wishes. I will be careful."
After walking for a while, they came to a slightly loose jungle. Lu Xingping suddenly pointed to a clump of green plants not far away and asked, "Sister-in-law, are those wild vegetables?"
Chu Yue followed the sound and walked closer to the green leafy plant. She knelt down and observed it for a while, then shook her head and said, "This is Pinellia ternata. It is a medicinal material. The whole plant is poisonous, and the rhizome is the most toxic. It cannot be used as a medicine." Eat wild vegetables.”
Lu Xingping was surprised: "How come it's poisonous and can be used as medicine?"
"Otherwise, how can we say that medicine is three parts poison? Medicine and poison have never been separated. If poison is used well, it can also be a good medicine."
Chu Yue said normally while using the small hoe in her hand to dig out the tuber of Pinellia ternata and put it in the basket.
Lu Xinghe looked at Chu Yue, thinking that she only understood this truth because she was taught by the foot doctor next door since she was a child.
This also means that she spent a relatively long time in the Wu family when she was young, and spent a lot of time with Wu Yong.
Moreover, she is so familiar with medicinal materials and pharmacology, it is inevitable that the old Wu family also has selfish motives.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a strange feeling filling his heart...
Lu Xingping waved to Lu Xinghe: "Brother, there are many here. Can you get me a shovel? Once the shovel is loose, I can dig out the tubers."
"good."
Lu Xinghe shoveled the soil, and Lu Xingping and Lu Xingan were responsible for pulling out the small tubers one by one.
After a while, this area of pinellia was excavated by four people.
"Brother, why don't we just go to our own hilltop and have a look? We haven't been there yet, so let's go and find the way." Lu Xingping suggested.
Lu Xinghe nodded.
"OK."
He walked in front, leading the three of them towards the mountain assigned to him by his grandma.
The mountain where I live is not far from the entrance of the village. Standing on the hillside, I can still vaguely see my grandma's old house.
As soon as she got here, Chu Yue's eyes were attracted by a plant.
The plant grows not far from the big tree.
The height of the plant is about calf-high, with five rounds of palm-shaped compound leaves growing on it, and a cluster of bright red oblate fruits on the top.
Lu Xing'an saw Chu Yue's expression and immediately asked, "Did sister-in-law discover something again?"
This was the first time that he and Chu Yue went out to dig for medicinal herbs. He felt that his sister-in-law was very magical. It seemed that there was no medicinal material in the mountains that she didn't know about.
Chu Yue's face was filled with excitement, and she swallowed hard.
"If I'm not mistaken, I should have found something good."
After saying that, he walked towards the plant.
The three brothers followed Chu Yue one after another, and they saw her digging carefully with the small hoe in her hand.
"Sister-in-law, what kind of treasure is this?" Lu Xingping looked curious.
Lu Xinghe knelt down and reached out to take the small hoe in Chu Yue's hand: "Let me help you."
Chu Yue did not object and only said: "Be careful and don't hurt its roots. Once the roots of ginseng are hurt, it will not be sold at a good price."
Hearing that it was ginseng, Lu Xinghe dug even more carefully.
"This is ginseng!" Lu Xingping opened his mouth slightly in surprise.
Lu Xingan was equally surprised.
Xingping has always said that his sister-in-law is lucky. He didn't know how to do it before, but he finally saw it today.
Not everyone is so lucky to encounter ginseng casually.
"Shh!" He raised a finger towards Lu Xingping and lowered his voice and said, "Keep your voice down, but don't say it out loud. Be careful to be remembered."
