"Hahaha." Everyone laughed heartily.
Cheng Zongyang didn't think much of it. He had, of course, seen the meteor shower from a few years ago, but it hadn't landed here. It had come down over in Linchuan.
Everyone got to work, and clearing the ten acres of land went quite quickly.
Cheng Zongyang was in charge of felling the trees and dragging them away. Zhou Zhenyuan and the others worked with the adults to clear the stumps and roots.
The women cleared the dead branches and fallen leaves from the ground, which could all be burned into wood ash to enrich the soil.
「Two days passed in the blink of an eye.」
Many hands make light work, and the ten acres of farmland were more or less cleared.
The resulting ash was mixed into the soil. The next steps were to divert water to flood the field, plow it into a paddy, and let it sit until next year, by which time it would be fully formed.
