It was another rare Sunday, and Li Kailang was still lying at home sleeping.

Although the surveillance had been withdrawn, Li Kailang chose not to move and stayed at home obediently just in case.

Instead of going fishing or panning for gold at the scrap collection station, Li Kailang can only stay at home and make furniture.

It just so happens that my house is empty, so it would be nice to make a rocking chair for the old man. I can sit on it and relieve my fatigue.

Li Kailang opened the door of the ear room, holding a hammer in one hand and an awl in the other.

The third aunt took a hoe and came to the side of the house, to the small patio, and started to hoe the ground.

"What is Auntie Three doing?" Li Kailang glanced at her, a little confused.

So he put down his tools and walked over to ask.

"Third Aunt, what are you doing? Hoeing the ground?"

The third aunt turned around and saw the third aunt, "It's Xiao Li, didn't you see me? I'm hoeing the land and planting vegetables."

"Growing vegetables? Why grow vegetables if there is nothing to do?" Li Kailang asked.

The third aunt smiled a little embarrassedly, "Xiao Li, you also know the current market situation. If the grain is reduced by 10%, my family will lose more than ten kilograms."

"I have four children to feed at home. I am not worried about not having enough food. I plant some vegetables to supplement the food supply."

"So that's how it is. But doesn't your family have a lot of stored food?" Li Kailang said.

The third aunt said, "Aren't you afraid that we'll run out of food one day? Prepare first. Let me tell you, people in other yards are vying to grow vegetables."

"I saw that no one was planting in the yard, so I planted first. Xiao Li, no one is competing for your patio, so why don't you plant it quickly?"

The third aunt pointed to the small patio on the side of Li Kailang's room. The small patios of the two families were similar.

There are not many courtyards or public areas in the courtyard house, and naturally not many places for farming.

Seeing that Li Kailang showed no sign of being moved, the third aunt approached Li Kailang and whispered, "Xiao Li, you don't know what's going on outside, do you?"

Li Kailang looked at the three aunts in confusion. He had been busy dealing with surveillance these days and had no time to pay attention to the outside world.

He shook his head and asked, "What's going on outside?"

The third aunt pointed outside and said, "Xiao Li, everyone in the yard outside is fighting for land. The fight is fierce. People are scrambling to grow vegetables in every corner of the yard."

"Rushing to grow vegetables? What for?" Li Kailang was still confused. What kind of vegetables could be grown in the corners?

In fact, it was not only Li Kailang who was confused, everyone else in the yard had the same doubts.

The third aunt explained helplessly: "Xiao Li, the yard outside is not like our yard, where there is a lot of food stored. They all calculate the amount of food they eat."

"If we don't order food anymore, we won't be able to eat enough, but we'll be lucky if we can have two meals a day."

Li Kailang suddenly realized.

They had stored grain in their yard, so naturally everyone didn't understand what others were doing. If Yan Bugui didn't have a large family, the third aunt might not have planted it either.

If they don't plant it, people in other yards will have to plant it.

The other courtyards had no food in stock and could not find a way to buy food, so they naturally could not sit and wait for death and had to find a way out.

It just so happened that the corners of the yard could be used to grow crops, so naturally people rushed to grow vegetables to fill their stomachs.

They had food in their yard and were not worried, so naturally they didn't pay attention to this and no one planted it.

"Hey, what are you doing? This is my land!" Suddenly, a quarrel was heard outside the yard.

Li Kailang didn't bother to chat with the three aunts and hurried over to watch the fun.

The three aunts also put down their hoes and went out to watch the fun. There is no rush to hoe the fields, and the fun should be enjoyed while it is fresh.

The two men came outside and saw two ladies arguing in the yard not far away.

"Oh, we're acquaintances."

Zhao Hong and Wang Meili, these two people were originally selling cabbages at the street office, they cut in line and were both sent to the police station.

The one-meter-wide area of ​​land near the outer edge of the yard had been abandoned and overgrown with weeds. Since people had enough food, they didn't plant anything.

Now that there is a food shortage, these weeds have come in handy.

I saw two people arguing over a piece of land that had just been hoed. The land was about one meter wide and two meters long.

Zhao Hong asked, "What you say is yours, isn't it? Is your name written on the land?"

Wang Meili angrily scolded: "I have already hoeed this land and watered it. I was just going in to get the seeds, and you came over to grab them. Are you deliberately looking for trouble?"

Zhao Hong didn't care: "Don't talk nonsense, is your name written on this piece of land? If it is, I will ask you to give it to me."

After saying that, she looked at Wang Meili with a haughty look. She just watched Wang Meili finish before she took the opportunity to seize it.

Wang Meili looked at the well-hoeed land and saw no name written on it. She pointed at Mr. Zhao and was so angry that she couldn't say a word.

"you you you"

"What do you mean by 'you'? Wang Meili, if there is no name on this land, it is not yours!" said Zhao Hong.

"You are such a bitch! I will beat you to death and you will no longer be named Wang!" Wang Meili shouted and started to beat Zhao Hong.

In an instant, the two men wrestled together, neither giving in to the other, scratching each other's ears, kicking and hitting each other in the face, using all kinds of moves.

His clothes were all torn, but he still didn't stop.

But the results of the battle became apparent soon. Wang Meili used her big physique to pin Zhao Hong under her.

He slapped her left and right.

"I'll let you occupy my land, I'll let you occupy my land!" Wang Meili beat and cursed at the same time.

Zhao Hong blocked it with her hands to protect her head, but Wang Meili still refused to give in.

"Fight, fight, fight well!"

"Yes, hit him like this. Don't just hit him in the face. You can also hit him if he's defenseless down there!"

"Sister Wang, hit the middle, hit the middle!"

The crowd watching cheered and offered suggestions.

Li Kailang watched and exclaimed in amazement, "This shrew fights better than men, so cool!"

"This Zhao Hong is really overestimating herself. She didn't beat Wang Meili last time, but now she dares to provoke her. Isn't this asking for trouble?"

Zhao Hong yelled for mercy, but Wang Meili wouldn't listen. "I told you not to steal my land, so I'm going to teach you a lesson today. I'll let you know how powerful I am, and you won't dare to mess with me in the future!

Wang Meili was determined to hurt Zhao Hong so that Zhao Hong would never dare to provoke her again.

"Zhang San, son, come and save me!" Zhao Hong could only call on her husband and son for help.

Hearing the quarrel between the two, their family members had already come out.

Zhang San yelled at Wang Meili's husband, "Li Si, look at that bitch in your house, let her get up!"

"Bah!" Li Si spat, "Zhang San, if your shrew hadn't been looking for trouble and had taken a fancy to the land that my wife had hoeed, my wife wouldn't have hit her."

"Your wife is asking for trouble. She is looking for trouble."

After saying that, he looked at Wang Meili and encouraged her: "Wife, keep fighting. I'll watch over them for you!"

"Oh, okay!" Wang Meili replied and beat Mr. Zhao with more force.

"Zhang San, come and save me!" Zhao Hong took the opportunity to shout, and then was beaten.

"Wife!" Zhang San looked at his wife with heartache, then looked at Wang Meili, and then looked down at his own physique.

I can’t beat him. I can’t beat him. I can’t beat him at all.

I can't beat Wang Meili, but I can beat Li Si.

"Li Si, your wife hits my wife, so I hit you!"

"Okay, who's afraid of who?"

After saying this, the two husbands started to wrestle with each other.

Compared with their wives, they were obviously not as strong as them, and the two of them fought back and forth.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this fight is not interesting at all." Someone on the side commented.

"Yeah, the two grown men fought so softly, how could they be as good as their wives?" someone agreed.

"Hey, hey, hey, fight if you want, but don't hit us, fight somewhere else!"

The two men fought in several places and even fought among the chatting crowd.

Everyone has to dodge and avoid them, and after dodging for so long, they become a little impatient.

"Go away and don't disturb me from watching the show!" Someone pushed them away. The two looked at the person who pushed them with wide eyes, and he angrily replied: "What? What are you looking at? Do you want to get beaten?"

He has a strong physique and a ferocious face, which makes people feel that he is not easy to mess with at first glance.

The two of them were very happy and tactfully changed the place to fight immediately.

After fighting for a while, the police finally arrived and took both families away.

"Oh, let's go, there's no more fighting!" Everyone waved their hands and left.

These people fought for only one purpose: to fight for land.

But this matter did not end there. The fight between the two was like a fuse. After Wang Meili was finished, there were still Li Meili and Chen Meili.

The police were on duty all day today for this matter.

The fight lasted from morning till evening. This kind of thing happened in the surrounding yards. They were all fighting for land.

There was one almost every two hours, and the yard was very noisy.

Li Kailang went from being curious and wanting to watch the fun to being indifferent later on.

In the end, I just hid in the planting space because the noise was too annoying for my ears.

At the same time, the three uncles gathered at Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Uncle, look at the quarrel outside over the land. Why don't we divide the land quickly to avoid a quarrel." Yan Bugui said.

Yan Bugui was the one who needed land the most. The three aunts had already hoed the land in the small courtyard and planted vegetables. Now they were just afraid that the Cui family would pick the peaches.

"I think so too. It's better to divide the land. We've been arguing all day and I can't sleep well." Liu Haizhong complained.

Seeing that both of them agreed, Yi Zhonghai naturally would not refute. To be honest, he was also annoyed by the quarrel.

"Okay, let's hold a general meeting before it gets dark and divide up the land inside and outside the yard."

Soon, most of the people in the yard gathered together.

Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and said, "I called everyone here to discuss something with you. Today everyone heard a commotion outside, it was all caused by a dispute over land."

"We have food stored in our yard, and no one fights over the land, so there are no quarrels."

"However, the stored food will eventually run out. Other courtyards are fighting for land, and our courtyard will also face this day sooner or later."

"Calling everyone here is to divide the land so that there won't be any quarrels later."

Yi Zhonghai briefly explained the reason and everyone nodded.

"We should quickly divide the land so that everyone can plant some, and avoid quarrels."

When Jia Zhang heard about the land division, her eyes lit up, "Land! Land!"

Jia Zhang's fellow villager's land was expropriated, and she was driven out, so the land existed in name only.

"I want the land to the right of my house!" Jia Zhang said first.

There was a piece of land on each side of the Jia family's house. There was a small open space on the left, which had long been piled with the Jia family's miscellaneous items.

The land on the left is the entrance to the backyard, and it’s fine to put things there.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at her calmly and said, "Okay, I'll give you that piece of land."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai give in so easily, Jia Zhangshi pressed the issue further, "I want the empty space in the middle too."

The land in the middle of the central courtyard was originally used to grow flowers and plants, but no one took care of it and it is now overgrown with weeds. After some cleaning it will become a good piece of land.

"That won't do!" Sha Zhu retorted.

"Silly Zhu, what does the land I want have to do with you? Get out of here." Jia Zhang said bluntly.

Sha Zhu looked at Jia Zhangshi, "You want the land in the middle, but what about my land? You already have a piece of land, and you want so much more, that's not possible."

Jia Zhang scolded, "Silly Zhu, it's none of your business if I need land. I don't care if you have land or not. I only have such a small piece of land, how can it be enough for me to grow crops?"

"I don't agree!" Sha Zhu was too lazy to talk nonsense with Jia Zhang and disagreed.

"I don't care whether you agree or not. I want the land in the middle, sir. What do you say?" Jia Zhang looked at Yi Zhonghai.

As long as Yi Zhonghai agrees, it doesn’t matter whether Sha Zhu agrees or not.

Sha Zhu said, "Master, Jia Zhang already has a piece of land. If the land in the middle is given to him, I will have no land. I won't agree to this!"

There is not much land in the central courtyard, with a large piece in the middle, one piece on each side of the Jia family, and one piece next to He Yushui, a total of 4 pieces.

The Central Courtyard is home to more than just the Jia family, the Sha Zhu family, and the Yi Zhonghai family. There are several other families as well.

"Silly Zhu, doesn't He Yushui have a piece of land? You can just plant there. Why are you competing with me?" Jia Zhang said unhappily.

Others looked at Jia Zhang's unreasonable fight for land and showed disgust, and talked about Jia Zhang.

"Okay, stop arguing." Yi Zhonghai shouted.

"Jia Zhang, your family has already occupied two plots of land. If you take up another plot of land, what land will you let others farm?"

Jia Zhang said as a matter of course: "The yard is gone, can't we plant crops outside the yard? We don't want the land outside, so we can just exchange it with you."

When Jia Zhang said this, the other residents in the middle courtyard all looked angry. "Jia Zhang, we don't want the land outside. Can we give it to you?"

"Bah! I don't want it!" Jia Zhang immediately objected, "What if the vegetables I worked so hard to grow are pulled out by others?"

"Hey, you knew that someone would snatch it away, so why did you share it with others?" Sha Zhu couldn't help but scold.

"You" Jia Zhang pointed at Sha Zhu, so angry that she couldn't speak.

In the past, Sha Zhu didn't dare to confront her head-on, but ever since He Yushui started causing trouble, the two families have been at odds.

"Okay, stop arguing!" Yi Zhonghai shouted.

Yan Bugui, who was watching the battle, immediately said, "Master, do you think my idea will work? Otherwise, we can manage our own affairs and only unify the land outside the branch."

"Whether there are too many or too few, we can handle it ourselves."

Yan Bugui was afraid that after Jia Zhang made such a fuss, Yi Zhonghai would not be able to divide the land properly and the central courtyard would try to seize the front courtyard's land.

"Yes, I think what Old Yan said is very good, let's do it this way." Liu Haizhong agreed, he also felt that this made sense.

Seeing that both of them said so, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, then let's distribute the circle of land outside the yard. Who doesn't want it?" Yi Zhonghai said, looking around at everyone. No one said they didn't want it.

Seeing this, Li Kailang didn't say no. He would not cultivate the land outside the yard, so he could give it to the Cui family.

Soon, the land outside the yard was distributed, with each household receiving an average of 2 meters of land.

With such a small piece of land, you can only plant vegetables such as leeks, potatoes, onions and garlic that grow fast or are easy to care for.

Yi Zhonghai said, "Okay, the land has been divided. If you can't figure it out, just build a fence to separate them."

"How everyone wants to deal with this land is their own business. The three of us will not be involved."

"Everyone, go back and divide up the land in your own yard."

Yi Zhonghai drove away those who were not from the Intermediate Court and began to distribute the land of the Intermediate Court.

As soon as everyone turned around and left, the sound of Jia Zhang and Sha Zhu quarreling was heard. Everyone ignored it as it did not affect them anyway.

The front yard is smaller than the middle yard, with two small patios and a long row of land against the gate wall with hanging flowers.

However, Yan Bugui's division was quite reasonable and no one wanted to grab the land, so the process of dividing the land was quite pleasant.

The small courtyard next to Yan Bugui's house was divided equally among three families.

The same goes for Li Kailang. Although Li Kailang has no shortage of food, he still has to pretend to have enough.

Living in harmony with others is the best thing. Li Kailang also divided the land outside the yard into half each to the Yan family and the Cui family.

"Xiao Li, how can this be so embarrassing?" Yan Bugui and Aunt Cui both felt a little embarrassed.

Li Kailang waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'm alone, and a piece of land in the yard is enough. I don't have so much time to take care of the land outside the yard. Instead of leaving it empty, I might as well let you take care of it."

"If you feel embarrassed, just order some food for me when you get the harvest."

Seeing this, the two no longer refused.

At this point, the land division is over.

"No, I want the middle piece of land!"

The news came from the middle courtyard that Jia Zhang was not going to give in. The front courtyard had been divided up, but the middle courtyard was still not divided up.

"Oh, we have to listen to this noisy noise again!" Everyone couldn't help but sigh.
