Kapitel 61: Chapter 61: Frequent Defecation and Urination_1

The Yang Family's land was not insignificant, totaling about thirty acres, among which there were ten acres of top-grade fields, ten acres of second-grade fields, and an additional ten acres of newly reclaimed land.

In this northern region, few planted rice; the main crops were wheat and corn, so there were not many paddy fields.

Actually, during the previous wheat harvest, it was common to tidy up while reaping. This time, it was just a matter of cleaning up one more time to make sure no wheat roots or the like were left behind. Once everything was thoroughly cleared, they would borrow an ox from the village chief in order, ready for deep plowing before sowing.

Old man Yang led his three sons to turn the soil, while Yang Ruxin guided Erni in picking up the wheat roots that were unearthed, tossing them onto the ridges. When dried, they could also be used as firewood.
