Chapter 95: Earning Points
"Alas, you stupid girl, obedient and not obedient, at that time you said that you were a stingy (stingy, too much) old woman.
The quilt is not too heavy, and it is too heavy, for fear that the daughter-in-law will be lazy. The mother-in-law married a daughter-in-law to make a quilt for eight taels, and it was okay to lie down just now, and the heat of the kang was not too cold. After half of the night, the kang was cold, the quilt was thin and not warm, and the person woke up early, which was indeed not lazy.
The quilt cover of less than three catties is too thin, and the cotton cover will be torn apart in less than a year, and there are holes everywhere. It is not one with cotton patching, it is sewn together with thread, and the next year it is still split from the edge.
You see our cotton sleeve, the more rotten the holes, the more holes. Dismantling and washing must be rolled with a stick, otherwise it will not be a set. ”
Guixiang could hear his mother's helplessness and sadness, "Mother, you can accompany me to give me a set of covers, your body is not good, and you will make a new set for yourself this year." ”
"Guixiang, you don't have to worry about your mother, after taking Dr. Wu's medicine, my body and bones are much better, and I haven't been sick this year. Our family has been covering this set of covers for many years, and it is not the same.
Guixiang, our family's days are about to rise, mother, the dowry prepared for you is better than your second sister.
Don't believe it, it turns out that we haven't fed pigs, but this year we have fed four at once, and we don't need to feed food, just eating pigweed will grow fast.
It's only been a few months, and it's grown into a half-grown pig. Your father said that by the end of the year, he would be able to grow to more than two hundred pounds, which was enough for first-class armor.
First-class A, three cents eight. A pig can be sold for 80 yuan, and four pigs can be sold for more than 300, and your father said that it is enough for our family to build a house.
Your brother Baojing is older, and he has to say that his daughter-in-law will marry if he doesn't have a house. These four pigs have solved my and your father's heart problems.
Thanks to listening to the persuasion of Grandma Youyou, we should also have good luck and dig a few days of Maodi pears earlier than the people in the village, so that we can have the money to buy pig seedlings.
In the early years, I had never heard of alfalfa grass in the river beach, and even the bell wheat did not grow like the crazy growth this year. I heard the old people say that this year, the river god appeared and gave us a blessing.
Your father has seen them, these two kinds of grass, we have them in this area, and there are no more ten miles away. According to the Yuan Dynasty, these grasses are perennial, and they will be there every year in the future.
Your father and I have planned to feed four pigs every year in the future. If it's the same as this year, it will be an income of 300 yuan every year.
Guixiang, you see that my mother didn't lie to you, with money, my mother can still lose her daughter. It will take you two years to get married, and by that time, your mother will have money in her hands, so she will buy you a dowry. ”
"Mother, I don't want a dowry, as long as you and my father are well. Since you know that life will be better in the future, don't be ruthless.
The three of us are all older, so you and my father will have a different taste in the future. We can't afford to eat good, there is more wheat this year, enough for the two of you to eat flower buns. If you don't listen to me, we'll cook for me in the future. ”
Guixiang's words made the second grandmother listen very comfortably, "Okay, listen to me Sanni, you child has been careful and knows that people are distressed." With your words, my mother is happy even if she doesn't eat it. ”
"Mother, what I said is true, don't take it seriously. It's not that I'm filial, Baojing, Guiping, and I discussed it. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you, you're all good boys, and you know that you feel sorry for adults. The second grandmother was not sad anymore, and laughed happily.
The temperature was high, and the alfalfa in the river beach grew like crazy, more than two feet tall, and they were already blooming, and the pink and purple tidbits attracted some bees. Yoyo asked Grandma to take her to a farther place, and harvested more than ten acres of alfalfa into the space. It is dried and crushed directly in the space, processed into alfalfa powder and stored.
Uncle Yuan came back once, and he explained to everyone how to harvest and store alfalfa. Alfalfa has the highest nutritional value at the early flowering stage and is the best time to harvest. It is possible to silage and dry hay, because silage is more complex, dry grass is the best choice at present. Hay can be processed into grass meal, which is the best feed for pigs and chickens.
After harvesting, alfalfa should not be exposed to the sun for a long time, and after being semi-dry, it must be dried in a ventilated place, and it must be turned frequently. The team sent two elderly people to be responsible for drying alfalfa. The village forest outside the village is very suitable for drying alfalfa grass.
The production team organized personnel to harvest alfalfa, and the team fed 100 pigs, and the feed had to be ready. Harvest the alfalfa at the junction of the puddle community first. It is far away from the village, and it has to be four miles away, so it is easy for people from this village not to come.
Because it is separated by a production embankment, traditionally the west side of the production embankment belongs to Hongcheng County, and the people of Shuikeng Commune do not come. Besides, there are five miles from the nearest Meizhuang here, and it is ten miles back and forth, and in the case of walking on two legs, people generally do not run so far to cut the grass.
The uncle also went to Shimiao Village to explain the harvesting techniques of alfalfa. The people in their village also began to harvest alfalfa, and the river beach was once again lively. Not only are the production teams busy harvesting, but the people in the village are also getting up early and going home at night, and every family is fed a few pigs, which can get a lot of feed.
After a few days, except on the river beach near the village, the alfalfa was harvested by the children earlier and grew at different heights, and the rest were harvested by the people.
Alfalfa grass is dried everywhere in the village, and the early harvest has been dried and piled up in round stacks on the edge of the pig farm. In the yards of each house, there are also piles of dried alfalfa.
The children still go to the river beach to cut fresh alfalfa and carry it home to feed the pigs and sheep. The production team also continued to harvest fresh alfalfa grass, and used fresh alfalfa grass to feed cattle and pigs, and fed dry ones after autumn and winter.
The eldest son-in-law of the second grandmother's family came, saying that his mother missed the child and asked him to take the two back, without mentioning the separation of the family.
The eldest daughter of the second master is reluctant to go back, she wants to earn more centimeters in her mother's house. The value of work in Hantun Village is high, and one job (ten points of work) is worth at least five cents.
Guilian is a hard-working person, who gets up early every day to cut alfalfa grass, and uses a rubber-tyred car to push back more than 150 catties of grass every day, and can change at least 15 points.
Counting up, Guilian can earn seven or eight cents a day at her mother's house, enough to buy 2 catties of wheat, at least the rations that her mother and daughter eat can earn.
The second master is a girl who loves her daughter, Guilian is in her mother's house, in addition to helping the second grandmother do some housework, the grass she cuts back is handed over to the team. The pigs and sheep fed by the second grandmother's house were cut back by Gui Ping.
Since the grandmother missed her grandson, the second grandfather asked her son-in-law to take the child home first. The child ate and drank well at his grandmother's house, and had fun with Didi, crying and not leaving, and finally he had to go back alone.
The next day, I sent someone from the village to pick him up, saying that he was not angry and making trouble at his mother-in-law's house, so why didn't he leave his mother's house.
The second master officially proposed the separation of the family, telling them when to agree to the separation and when to let the daughter go back. The little brother of the in-law's family used the money for marriage, and the two brothers exchanged it together.
If someone can't be the master, they say that they will bring back the meaning of their mother's family and let them make their own decisions, but they will have no information when they go back.
The second master let his daughter live at home with peace of mind, and her mother's family can now afford to support her and her mother. Besides, his daughter gets up early every day and is greedy for darkness, and the alfalfa grass she cuts can be exchanged for more than ten jobs, which is enough for the mother and her to eat.
