Chapter 10: Reclaiming Wasteland
The next day.
Zhang Sanchun was called back. Knowing that Chu Xun was going to reclaim thirty acres of wasteland, he was startled.
"This, isn't this too much? How can it be finished?"
"Even if we die of exhaustion, we have to finish it! Everyone in the village is waiting to see Brother Xun make a fool of himself right now!" Zhang Anxiu clamored.
Zhang Sanchun had a look of difficulty on his face. Although he was wooden, he still had some idea of how much farm work one person could do.
Chu Xun said, "We have a plowing ox at home. You two work during the day, and I'll work at night. We should make it in time."
Even with the help of a plowing ox, excluding windy and rainy days, there was also the time needed for sowing, fertilizing, weeding, and harvesting the other seventeen acres of farmland.
The remaining time, fully calculated, was only a little over a hundred days.
Calculating it, they had to reclaim one acre of wasteland in at most five days.
