The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business

Su Anton looked at the livestock and various things bought by several families and no longer had any worries.

Su Anton told other families about his plan to buy cattle, and asked them if they wanted to buy anything that he needed to bring back from the county, or if they could go to the county together to buy it.

When others heard this, they thought there was nothing to buy and that they could just make do with what they had now. They didn't have the spare money to buy this or that.

However, when Zhou Lizheng heard that the Su family wanted to buy a cow, he also planned to buy one. After buying this cow, the Zhou family really had no money left. But Zhou Lizheng thought that with so many families, they couldn't all rely on the Su family's cow. The only ones who could afford to buy a cow in the team were probably his family and the Zhao family.

Just as Zhou Lizheng expected, when Mrs. Zhao heard that the Su family wanted to buy a cow, she asked Zhao Xuanming to go to the county to buy a cow. Mrs. Zhao thought that there were only three people in her family, either old or young, and it would take a long time to open up the wasteland with manpower alone, and it would be too late to plant anything. She couldn't just rely on the help of the villagers, so she might as well buy a cow herself. She could also lend the cow to other families in exchange for their labor.

After deciding this, Su Anton planned to go to the county the next day. Let's build a shed first! Mrs. Su's weather forecast predicted that it would rain in three days. No matter what, we have to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Each family helped each other to build a shed, which needed a wooden frame to support it, straw mats to cover it from the rain, and straw mats to surround it.

Everyone was busy, some went up the mountain to cut trees, some went up the mountain to cut trees, and some went up the mountain to weave straw mats.

Although the Su family has a large population, they don't have that many sheds. They thought that men and women could live separately, which would save space and accommodate everyone.

The next morning, although the shed had not been fully erected, it was estimated that it would be completed today. Su Anton took his men to the county to buy cattle, thinking that the sooner they bought them, the sooner they could start working.

Su Anton took Zhou Lizheng and Zhao Xuanming to the county, and the three of them walked to the county.

Arriving at Fengze County, the three of them went straight to the mule and horse market and bought three cows. After buying the cows, the three of them went straight home. For Su An Dong, there was nothing to buy now. The necessities of life were enough for the time being. Even if they were not enough, he could ask Su Yuanyuan to quietly take some out of the space.

When the three of them got home, the shed was almost finished. Su An Dong took a look and left a few people to continue to build the shed, and asked the others to start clearing the wasteland as soon as possible.

Time waits for no one, the sooner the land is planted the better.

Except for a few people who continued to build the shed, the entire team joined the army of land reclamation, regardless of gender, age or status, even Su Yuanyuan took a small shovel to help.

The first step in land reclamation is to burn the wasteland, which means using fire to burn off the weeds, shrubs, trees and other vegetation on the wasteland to facilitate subsequent land clearing.

The advantage of burning is that it can quickly eliminate some obstacles on the land and provide some fertilizer for the soil. However, burning also has certain risks. The fire must be controlled and cannot burn to other places. If the fire is led to other places, it will be bad.

Fortunately, the wastelands owned by Su Anton and his gang were all adjacent to each other, so it was easier to get some of them.

Su Anton wanted to burn the wasteland before it rained, otherwise it would be difficult to do after the rain, and he would have to wait a few more days.

Su Anton held a sickle in his hand and led the strong laborers to start building a firebreak.

The firebreak is a zone about three meters wide cleared out on the periphery of the wasteland. All vegetation and debris on the firebreak should be cleared away to prevent fire from spreading. This can prevent the fire from spreading and play a certain preventive role.

The firebreak had to be cleaned up, so everyone worked very hard. The strong laborers cleared the area in front, and the rest of the people cleaned up further in the back.

Each family had contributed some food in advance according to the number of people, and the old ladies in each family cooked dinner. The others were working in the fields. This is how the families ate dinner together.

In the evening, the people who were building the sheds had finished building them, and the next day, everyone joined the reclamation team.

On the second day, each family also contributed their food and cooked together. Eating from a big pot could save some manpower and time.

At noon on the third day, after everyone's efforts, the firebreak was finally completed.

Su An Dong's palms had blisters from being worn out. Not only him, but everyone else was exhausted. Even Su Yuanyuan's palms had blisters from being worn out.

Su An Dong felt very distressed when he saw the blisters on his daughter's hands. He said, "Girl, please stop. It makes me sad to see your hands like this."

Su Yuanyuan knew that her father was worried about her, but how could she not do anything? Even the four or five-year-old children were helping, so how could she not do anything? And it was nothing, she was young, and she could recover her hand later.

Su Yuanyuan gave Su Anton a big smile and said, "Dad, it's okay! These are all outdoor classes, to experience life. If we wanted to experience these things before, we had to spend money!"

Su Anton looked at his daughter and knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he didn't say anything else.

It's just like what Su Yuanyuan said, in the past, you had to pay to experience life on the farm. She even paid for handicraft classes when she was a child.

In fact, Su Anton and Su Yuanyuan did wear gloves. The women of the Su family had already made some gloves out of clothes, and Su Yuanyuan quietly took some out from the space and left them for them to use, so that they could take up less items in the house.

But even with gloves on, her hands still had blisters. There was no other way, this was a strenuous job that would wear out her hands. Su Yuanyuan's hands were the least injured, Su Guoguo and Su Miaomiao's hands were even worse than hers.

Su Yuanyuan found that her hands were still irritated even with the gloves she wore, so she took out some soft cotton cloth from her space to make gloves, and then put on old gloves on the outside. However, Su Yuanyuan only dared to let a few people who wore such soft cloth use it secretly, and she didn't dare to take it out for everyone in the family to use. So her hands are stronger than Su Guoguo and Su Miaomiao's.

Su Zhihao, who was standing aside, was speechless as he watched his father and sister care for each other. He had put in so much effort, but why didn't his father care for him? He also had a lot of blisters on his palms.

Little did he know that in Su An Dong's heart, he felt that as a young man, he should endure some hardships, so how could he compare with a girl?

Su Zhihao had done the most work in the past two days. Although he was only fourteen years old, he was very strong! He was responsible for many places that were difficult to clean and required a lot of effort. He could do the work of two or three strong men.
