Yan Zhenshen did not directly agree to the village chief's suggestion that the Zhang family sell their land. Everyone in the family was busy with their own things, and there was too much land to handle, and he was afraid that he would not be able to handle it.

So Yan Zhenshen asked for his family’s opinion when he returned that day.

Zhao Guizhi naturally agreed. How could a farmer complain about having too much land? Besides, she had long been thinking of buying dry land to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes.

I just think that there are not many people in my family, and it is really possible that we may not be able to handle it.

Yan Sanmei wanted to raise more chickens and ducks. This time, Yan Zhennan came back and said that someone had asked him to customize a wheelchair again, but the lumber shop did not have the wood he wanted, so he had to wait for a few days.

Chu Xiao suggested that Yan Zhennan open a shop selling wheelchairs, otherwise many people who wanted to buy one would not be able to find him.

But if you want to buy a shop in the county town, it will cost at least a hundred taels of silver, and if you rent it for a year, it will cost five or six taels of silver.

Yan Zhennan felt that if he only did the wheelchair business, he would probably only be able to earn enough to rent.

Besides, Qiao Qingyun had already told him that after finishing the Tongsheng examination, he would build a house near home and then settle down with him in Anning Village.

He could just work as a carpenter in the village. Even if he didn't earn as much as in the county, he would definitely have enough food and clothing for the year. This way he could spare some time to help tend the land.

Zhao Guizhi made the decision immediately upon hearing this, saying that the money to buy the land would come from the family income, and the title deed would be in Xiaoger's name, which could be considered as paying back part of his dowry.

Chu Xiao did not argue much this time. Chu Laoer had been driven out of the village, so he didn't have to worry about anyone causing trouble for him no matter what he had in his name.

After this was agreed upon, Chu Xiao urged Yan Zhenshen to go dig a hole with him and plant the few trees they had brought back before dark.

This time they went to the neighboring village and brought back two jujube trees, a plum tree, and a sand apple tree.

There was a jujube tree planted in Chu Xiao’s small yard, and another one outside the gate.

Chu Xiao planned to plant the plum tree in the wasteland in the backyard. The fruits are small and numerous, so he doesn't have to worry about anyone picking them.

Zhao Guizhi said that the sand apple trees should be planted in the old house because her third sister wanted to raise chickens in the old house, and then the chickens would have a place to cool off.

Chu Xiao also thought it was feasible. After the pit on this side of the house was dug, he would go to the old house to continue digging.

Except for the jujube tree outside the yard, which has already grown into a mature tree, the other three trees brought back this time are saplings that have only been planted for one year. It will probably take another two or three years for them to bear fruit.

However, this was not a difficult task for Chu Xiao, especially since there were usually no outsiders coming to the old house. Chu Xiao just induced the growth when he was planting.

Make the sapling look stronger, and when he has time, come over to urge it to grow, and try to make it bear fruit next autumn.

When it was getting dark, the two of them finished planting the plum trees behind the yard. Chu Xiao looked at the wasteland that had been gnawed by the cows and had little green left. "I collected some grass seeds last year and will sprinkle some here later. Otherwise, given the appetite of our cows, I'm afraid that after two more days of eating, these few acres of wasteland will really be bald."

"Grass seeds, we still need to plant grass?" Yan Zhenshen drove the cows that were still digging up the ground back. He felt that planting grass was quite strange.

After all, what farmers hate most when tending to the fields are the endless weeds. If they are not pulled out in time, the crops in the fields will not grow well.

But after a few days of pulling out the weeds, new grass will grow again.

This is the first time I have heard of planting grass.

Chu Xiao smiled and replied, "Everything can be planted. Plant whatever you need. There is more grass behind the yard, so it can save a lot of effort to herd cattle. I also have chicken grass seeds. I will spread some on the wasteland over at the old house when the time comes."

What can grow in a wasteland? It must be grass. What Chu Xiao did was just to allow these weeds to grow selectively.

"I'll listen to you." Yan Zhenshen would not raise any objections to these things.

After dinner, Chu Xiao walked the dogs as usual to digest the food. There were quite a lot of dogs in the house at that time.

Zhao Guizhi complained several times when she was preparing food for them, saying that if she fed them coarse grains, the dogs would eat several bowls of it, which was enough for the whole family to eat for two days.

Besides, Chu Xiao didn't feed them coarse grains every meal. Sometimes he would feed them some leftover pig heads and pig offal in the space.

Fortunately, the villagers didn’t see it, otherwise they would definitely talk about it behind my back.

They said they lived worse than the Yan family’s dogs.

The hound puppy had been disciplined by the big dog at home for a few days, and now it had become much more obedient. It followed Chu Xiao closely and was almost stepped on by Chu Xiao several times.

Chu Xiao kicked aside and looked at the silver-white puppy lying motionless at the door of the old house: "Why are those two guys so lazy?"

Yan Zhenshen had not looked closely before, so he went over and picked one up, looked at it carefully and said, "Is this a wolfdog?"

Chu Xiao didn’t understand these things so how could he know what kind of dogs these were. He bought them because he thought their silvery-white fur looked nice.

Besides, he had checked them a long time ago and found that the two dogs were in good health and should not have any diseases.

"The dog seller said that the female dog ran away and brought back the puppies."

Yan Zhenshen nodded: "Those should be wolfhounds. White ones are quite common. If we take good care of these two, we can go hunting in the mountains in the future."

Chu Xiao curled his lips: "They are so lazy, and they still hunt?"

He just wanted these two little white guys to be vases.

"It's just a habit. It can always be changed." Yan Zhenshen said with a smile: "After all, wolves hide during the day and come out at night."

When Chu Xiao heard this, he turned around to look at the wolf cub biting Little Gray's tail. Has this guy ever been active at night and hidden during the day?

Oh, yes. When I first brought him home, he would scratch their door all night long.

The gate of the old house was wide open at this moment, the moonlight was just right, and dogs of all sizes were running in and out, playing and playing.

Chu Xiao also sat next to Taxue and put the two lazy puppies on its back. When he looked up again, he saw his third sister coming from the direction of the new house.

She should have finished cleaning the kitchen and come over to play with these puppies.

When the third sister came closer, she saw her shouting to the little black dog, "Meigu, come here."

The little black dog jumped over and fluttered excitedly on Yan Sanmei's legs. Sanmei bent down to pick it up and walked to Chu Xiao's side: "Brother Xiao, I'll name him Coal Ball. Does it sound good?"

"Nice to hear." Chu Xiao looked at Da Huang, Da Hei and Xiao Hui, then raised his head to look at Yan Zhenshen: "Brother Shen, how about you give the other three some names?"

After all, his brother Shen was also a person with a name like Taxue.

Yan Zhenshen: “…” Can he say that Taxue was given to him by the old hunter, and Dahuang and Dahei are his real levels?

"You can call it anything you want, it's just a name." Yan Zhenshen looked at the hound that was flirting with Xiao Hui again and said, "How about we call that one Pi Zai?"

"Huh?" What kind of weird name is this? It's an extension of wolf cub. It would be better to follow Big Black and Big Yellow and follow the older generation names, or follow Little Gray and follow the younger generation name.

Yan Zhenshen saw that his husband was not satisfied, so he racked his brains and thought: "How about calling it a ball?"

Chu Xiao wanted to laugh. Okay, it’s okay for the brother who was brought back together to be of the same generation as Coil.
