Behind me is the earth

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

Outside Qingcheng Town, Renjia Farm.

Lu Feihu got up early in the morning, ate some cereals and water, took the basket and hatchet at home, and planned to go to the dense forest outside the village to pick up some dead branches and bring them back. In addition to using them for heating at home, there was nothing left. Yizan can also choose to sell it in the city to subsidize the family.

As usual, he left the house and walked around the threshing floor, only to find that a group of people had gathered around the place, and it was very lively.

With sharp eyes, he also discovered that on the other side of the threshing floor, there was a group of strangers who didn't know where they came from.

Lu Feihu was curious and trotted towards the crowd.

What's going on? What's going on? What are everyone doing here?

Lu Feihu asked while running.

Feihu, are you going out to chop wood?

Someone familiar asked.

Yes, I was just getting ready to go out. What are you doing here?

Lu Feihu saw a large piece of paper posted on the wall of his third uncle's house next to the threshing floor.

It was written in black and white, just like the notices posted outside Qingcheng Town before.

I thought it must have been posted by Mr. Ren who had just arrived, but he couldn't read, and he was curious and nervous at the same time.

He pulled the swarthy farmer in front of him hard and asked anxiously: Brother Heizi, what does it say on it? Doesn't it mean that farming is no longer allowed?

If they were not allowed to farm and were driven out of the sanctuary of the farm, their family would immediately become refugees and hungry people. Not only would they have to face hunger, but they would also have to face those dangerous living corpses.

Why not let us plant? Yesterday, Mr. Ren said it himself, so why is it still false? The land will still be planted by us as before, and it will still be divided into 50 and 50.

This notice was posted by Manager Liu today, saying that our farm will be rebuilt.

Anyone who participates in the construction of the farm will be responsible for two meals a day and 10 cents, which are settled every day!

Kuroko said with a beaming face.

What? Take care of two meals? Give me 10 cents? Why is this such a good thing? Is this true?

Lu Feihu's eyes widened, he really couldn't believe that such a good thing could happen!

It's written in black and white, how can it be false? I saw our Mr. Ren yesterday and thought that Mr. Ren was kind-hearted and seemed like a good person!

I said Feihu, don’t go out to collect firewood. How much money can you make?

Manager Liu said this morning that a strong laborer like you not only gets two meals, but also 10 cents. And it’s not just you, your brothers, sisters, and children over 10 years old are all called here, the elderly, women, and children. These half-laborers only have 5 cents, and they can take care of two meals!

For example, in my family, my father, me, my brother, my brother, your sister-in-law, and two children over ten years old all have 50 cash a day, and we don’t have to cook at home.

Heizi has been smart since he was a child, thinking about how much money his family could make.

During the slack time in winter, when the family is idle at home, it is better to go out to work. If you work until the end of the year, you will have a good year!

Mr. Ren is such a good man!

I just don’t know how long such a good job can last.

Feihu, I won't tell you anymore. I have to go home and ask someone to sign up.

Heizi calculated and slapped his thigh suddenly, said something to Lu Feihu, and ran home.

Lu Feihu scratched his head and hurriedly ran home without caring about cutting firewood outside.

I was afraid that I would be late and not be able to register.

When Lu Feihu ran back to the threshing floor with his newlywed wife, father, and fourteen-year-old brother, there was already a long queue in front of him.

His family was at the back of the queue, stretching their heads to see what was being registered in front of them.

The team in front moved very quickly, and those who had registered were waiting at the edge of the threshing floor to be assigned work.

When it was almost the turn of Lu Feihu's family, a strong fragrance suddenly came.

Smells! It smells so good!

That’s a fragrance you can’t even smell during the Chinese New Year!

Lu Feihu couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and stretch his neck to take a look. It turned out that in the open space outside the threshing floor, several large iron pots had been set up at some point, and they were boiling oil.

Looking at the large pieces of chopped fat over there and throwing them into the iron pot to boil oil, the aroma immediately makes people's mouth water and they keep swallowing it. Lu Feihu, who had eaten some cereals in the morning, felt his stomach growling and wanted to rebel.

We will stew cabbage with lard at noon. There is enough dry food. As long as you work hard for Master Ren, Master Ren will not treat you badly.

Lao Liu looked at the big man in front of him with his head stretched out and looking straight towards the stove, with a pimpled face and said something.

That's a good feeling!

Lu Feihu was full of energy when he thought of eating cabbage stewed in lard for lunch.

After quickly registering, Lao Liu looked at the child behind Lu Feihu and confirmed that he was able to work, so he gave him a half-labor credit.

Soon, the crowd was divided into their own jobs.

Old people and children joined the battle, and most of the people in the village came.

In addition to the craftsmen that Master Ren hired from outside to help them build city walls and houses, as well as the forty young men, there were more than one hundred and fifty people in total.

Okay, the division of labor has been told to everyone by Manager Liu. The people in our village, the elderly and women, those who have carts at home should go with carts, and those who don't have carts should carry baskets and carry red soil outside.

The child went to carry the haystacks and wheat straw outside to the threshing floor.

The young men in our village are responsible for making embryos.

Today we are divided into ten groups. If the workload of any group is not completed, which group will not be allowed to eat!

Hu Laosan shouted at the villagers.

Urged by the smell of meat, the villagers soon started fucking enthusiastically.

Over there, Liu Qiang gathered the 28 craftsmen and 40 teenagers.

You carpenters and masons, finish the work at hand such as making the adobe molds. The others will go outside to listen to Manager Liu's instructions and draw the gray lines according to the drawings.

Liu Qiang sent the craftsman to Lao Liu to take care of it, while he looked at the 40 teenagers.

He spent more than ten days selecting these 40 teenagers from thousands of refugees. These people may be thin because of poor nutrition, but everyone is the kind of person who dares to fight and kill. Everyone is a good soldier. With a little training, he will be a good soldier who can go to the battlefield. .

Starting from today, I will take time to train you for an hour every day. Once you have recovered your health, this training time will be lengthened.

From today on, you will officially become a member of the Ren family and a member of the Qixing firm. Remember, as long as you train seriously and pass the final test, you will have enough food and clothing in the future!

You must also remember who pulled you out from among the refugees and who provided you with food, clothing and shelter.

Only by training well can you repay your employer for their efforts in the future.

Liu Qiang's words were plain and direct.

The teenagers in front of them are all orphans who cannot read a word. They are young and have no bad habits. They are simple and easy to train. As long as such people are well trained, they will become the most loyal grassroots force in the future expansion of the guard.

Did you hear me!

heard it!

Very good, very energetic!

Everyone, follow my command and go to the woods outside the village to cut down trees!
