Crossing the famine: The hunter's wife has good farmland

"Okay, let's get started. Should we also draw lines on this like we do in our tribe?"

"Yes, we need to plan carefully the paths for walking in the fields and the roads for transporting food and vegetables. Let's start by marking the lines."

Mo Xiaonian and Yue Lu were busy here having a lot of fun. Linghua came back from the river carrying a full bucket of yellow mud. When they passed by Fu Cang's house, they saw these men working there, while Mo Xiaonian, who was good at being lazy and playing, had already gone off to play somewhere and no one knew where.

Linghua was so angry that she went home, boiled a pot of water, and brought it directly to Fu Cang.

"Brother Fucang, please stop for a moment and drink some water! You can't keep working like this, it's really tiring!"

Fu Cang was indeed thirsty, so he stopped the sickle and the stone.

"Thank you, Linghua. Have you finished digging the foundation for your house?"

"We've finished digging. My father, Hunter Sun and Hunter Zhang are building a house together. They're selecting materials there now. Brother Fucang, I see that you guys are making pretty fast progress. In just a few days, you've already built the outer frame."

"There are three of us. Besides, after my house is built, there are also Scythe and Stone's houses, so we will try to be as fast as possible."

"By the way, Brother Fu Cang, why isn't Mo Xiaonian here? It would be fine if she didn't work, but at least she should be by your side to take care of you, boil some water and cook for you, right?"

What Fu Cang hated the most was Linghua mentioning Mo Xiaonian in his ear, because what she said was never anything good.

"You're meddling too much. You should go home and take care of your father. We don't need you here anymore."

After Fu Cang finished speaking, he stopped drinking the water and went back to work with his sickle.

Linghua's face turned red with anger. She stamped her feet and shouted, "Fu Cang, you are really bewitched. You don't care about Mo Xiaonian no matter what happens. Are you a man?"

Indeed, what Linghua said was a bit too much. Not only was Fu Cang unhappy, but even the sickle and the stone felt that Linghua was being unreasonable and throwing a tantrum.

Fu Cang turned around with a frown.

"Linghua, are you bored? Why do you always come here to complain about what happened between us?

Xiao Nian is great. Not only do I ignore her, I also listen to her because what she says is always right. She is very kind and has done so many good things for the tribe. If you ask around in the tribe now, you will find that everyone likes Xiao Nian very much and calls her a goddess.

You are the only one who keeps gossiping about Xiao Nian. If it weren't for the fact that you are a girl, I would have wanted to beat you up a long time ago!"

Linghua screamed: "Fu Cang! Are you too harsh on me? After all, we grew up together. You were so nice to me before, but now because of Mo Xiaonian's arrival, you have changed. Now you only have Mo Xiaonian in your eyes. No matter how nice I am to you, you can't see it!"

Fu Cang sighed helplessly.

"Linghua, it's not that I've changed. I've always treated you like a brother and sister, and I used to love you very much. But then we all grew up, and we knew that men and women should avoid suspicion, so I naturally distanced myself from you. This has nothing to do with Mo Xiaonian. Even if Mo Xiaonian wasn't here, I wouldn't be able to get close to you.

Also, Mo Xiaonian is my wife, so naturally my heart and eyes are full of her. She is the partner who will always be with me, and I must treat her well. I have always said not to let her work. I can't bear to see her work hard, not because Mo Xiaonian is lazy.

I don't want to hear a bad word about Mo Xiaonian from you anymore! Linghua, I have said all I can to you. If you still want to maintain a brother-sister relationship with me, you must be sensible and watch your words!

Look, your father is here to look for you, go back quickly, or he will scold you again!"

Linghua stamped her feet, turned around and ran back to her home.

The sickle said angrily: "What's wrong with this Linghua? Why does she always dislike Xiaonian? How did Xiaonian offend her? Why is she so annoying!"

The stone suddenly hit the sickle.

He felt that the sickle was just a piece of wood.

It is obvious that Linghua is targeting Mo Xiaonian because of Fu Cang. It is no longer a strange thing that the little girl likes Fu Cang. Only the slow-witted guy Yandao doesn't know it.

Mo Xiaonian knew nothing about this matter and was still following Yue Lu in drawing lines and distributing the land for her family.

With her small body, it is useless for her to farm. She can only give some technical guidance. It is not known whether Fu Cang is willing to farm or not. After all, he has been hunting freely before, so Mo Xiaonian does not dare to ask for too large a piece of land.

But what if the land is really good and we want to plant on a large scale in the future? Would we think that the plots drawn now are too small?

Yue Lu saw Mo Xiaonian's dilemma and spoke to her with a smile.

"We can first draw the width of the plot, and then extend the length to the back. There's no one else here anyway, so if we want to farm, we can just continue to the back."

"Wow, grandma, you're so smart! How about our plots be next to each other?"

"Of course, but I can't plant much. Luhua is also a woman, so I won't draw so much land. Oh, there are so many weeds on the land. It will take us a month just to weed."

Mo Xiaonian patted his chest confidently.

"No need, grandma. We should use the burning method to light a fire and burn all the weeds on the ground. The remaining ash can be mixed into the soil and become the best natural fertilizer. The high temperature generated during the burning can also kill the eggs of pests in the soil. This can also greatly reduce diseases and insect pests!"

"That's what you mean. If we set this large area of grass on fire, won't it burn all the way to our doorstep?"

"Clear the weeds around the land we want to burn, so we can prevent the fire from spreading. And when we are burning, we must watch from the side, so there will be no danger."

"What else are you talking about? Let's clean up the weeds!"

Yuelu is now particularly interested in reclaiming wasteland and farming. She called Luhua over the next day, and the three women cleared the weeds along the four outer circles of their cultivated land, making Mo Xiaonian so tired that her back and waist ached.

After Mo Xiaonian returned home in the afternoon, he held his waist and cried out twice.

Fu Cang and his friends have already built the frame of the house and are now starting to sort the stones. They were hammering away at the stones. Seeing Mo Xiaonian's look, Fu Cang hurriedly put down the hammer in his hand and walked over.

"What's wrong with you? Oh, I haven't asked you yet, what have you and Great Elder Luhua been busy with these days?"
