Chapter Ninety-Four: Before Marriage
This is an agricultural county, and the animal husbandry industry is not very strong, and the meat source of the meat processing plant is sent from the county slaughterhouse, and they mainly make ham sausages, and some canned meat.
In the past two years, the state's support for agricultural cash crops has been quite good, and the number of cash crops planted in low-altitude areas has increased, and the number of livestock farms has also increased.
In addition to opening Zhangjia Village, because of the flat terrain and water sources on the Baipingba side, they plan to develop animal husbandry, and the whole village collectively raises pigs and chickens.
Baiping is separated from Zhangjia Village by a valley, and you can see Baiping's village when you look down at the tea garden in Zhangjia Village.
Their village breeding is set up in a terraced breeding area, close to the halfway up the mountainside to raise chickens, half captive and half free-range, in the morning and evening regularly fed with the matching food, in the middle of the chicken in the enclosure of the mountain forest to find food. Half-sized chicken coops were also built in several places to facilitate hens to lay eggs.
Below the chicken pen is the pigsty, a total of three layers, piglets and adult pigs are separated. Pig manure can be cellared for biogas, and it can be fermented as fertilizer.
The terrain of Zhangjia Village is relatively high, and the planting industry is dominated by tea trees, as well as high-altitude cash crops. Their chickens are not farmed in the same way, but are raised by each family themselves, but the village takes the lead in purchasing them together.
In addition, the village used the money allocated by the town to build fish ponds, and four large fish ponds were built by the river, raising four large fish. This is an alpine cold-water fish, which cannot be fed, and is all finely matched natural fish food. This was told to them by experts from the Institute of Agricultural Research, saying that the meat of this fish is delicate and there is no pollution at all, and the nutritional value is stronger than that of ordinary freshwater fish. These fish are specially delivered to the big cities by car, and the price of ordinary fish is almost double that of ordinary fish.
Earlier, the village chief was quite worried, afraid that the price was too high and there was no market, and then received a call from the buyer, asking them to raise more, saying that there was always a shortage of supply, so the village chief put his mind at ease and increased investment, and now plans to open two more fish ponds, in addition to the four big fish, and raise some cold-water fish with high economic value.
However, in a year, Zhangjiacun has more sources of income, everyone's mental outlook is much better, and there are fewer quarrels over trivial things.
For example, the Zhang family is now one of the richest families in the village. Their previous bamboo rat farm has been expanded again, and together with their neighbors, they have contracted half a mountain to farm.
Originally, many young people in the village went out to work after graduation, but now at least half of them have returned, and every family is busy, only hating less people than more people.
The eldest brother of the Zhang family got married this time, and the village simply regarded it as a major event, and they all felt that it was the feng shui of the Zhang family that was good, and it attracted the golden phoenix to drive the development of the village together, so they were also willing to help and make Zhang Da's wedding lively.
There are also some women who think more, they want to let the people from other villages who come to watch the ceremony see the strength of their village, and then the few cubs in their own family who should talk about family affairs will not worry about finding a suitable partner.
Not to mention, her sister-in-law and her sister-in-law's friend, who originally came to help Second Sister Zhang, took a fancy to the two young men in their village.
I used to think that Zhangjiacun was poor, and I thought that Second Sister Zhang found her brother like green smoke from the ancestral tomb, but now after coming up and looking at it, I found that although the Zhang family does not look obvious, the food used by others is not bad, even better than her husband's, and the sister-in-law is slightly sour in her heart. However, Second Sister Zhang is an atmospheric person, her husband is good to her and her mother's family, and she is not bad to her mother-in-law's family. This time, the sister-in-law came up to help, and she directly stuffed the red envelope over, and the food was not bad, and this person felt comfortable all of a sudden.
When Chen Xin's personal Bai Mengqing came back by car with a large bag of things, and there was such a gift from Lei Bang, the second sister-in-law and her friend glanced at each other, and their smiles became sweet again.
"Second sister, this is a set of gold jewelry that I brought back, for my sister-in-law, in addition, this bracelet is for you, and this longevity lock is my nephew's. You put it all away first, and then take it out when the people are gone. ”
Second Sister Zhang was dazzled by the golden light. This countryside is different from the city, what diamond rings people like in the city, they like gold, big gold bracelets and big gold earrings, the brighter the better.
Second Sister Zhang put away what Chen Xin gave herself, and put the set for her sister-in-law directly in a box and sent it over to show off.
Because of the rules of marriage, Yan Chunhua has lived in the village chief's house these days, in the same house where the village chief's daughter lived before she got married. The women who came to help crowded the courtyard, and the older grandmothers sat in the wing room and chatted with melon seeds.
When Second Sister Zhang went over, she directly smiled and said to Yan Chunhua, let her try to wear it, and see what hairstyle is better to wear when she sees it.
The gold jewelry given by Chen Xin was still bought in Lao Fengxiang, and the gold over there was full of color, but the style was a little old-fashioned, but at the end of the nineties, the shape of the whole gold jewelry was not very good, the important thing was that the color was bright and good, and the style was completely negligible.
Everyone coaxed Yan Chunhua to bring a complete set of gold jewelry, gold bracelets, gold earrings, and gold necklaces, which weighed ten percent of the weight.
"Eh, why don't you have a gold ring?" a daughter-in-law suddenly made a fuss and showed off the ring she was wearing.
"I don't dare to give the ring indiscriminately. It happened that Chen Xin came over to greet Yan Chunhua with Zhang Zhang, and said with a smile when she heard this, "This ring is only given by a husband to his wife, where is there a sister-in-law to send to a sister-in-law." My eldest brother must be ready, and we'll just wait for him to show us when the time comes. ”
Yan Chunhua pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this, and beckoned Chen Xin and Bai Mengqing to sit beside him.
She didn't refuse Chen Xin's gift, because no one from her mother's family came, although the people in the village didn't say anything in front of the Zhang family, but a village inevitably has a few daughters-in-law with broken mouths, and she still knows a little bit about what those people are muttering behind her back.
Chen Xin is willing to send her so many things, just to let her be in town, if she shirks hard, it will make people look down on her. Anyway, Yan Chunhua thought in her heart, when Chen Xin got married, she would definitely return a generous gift.
Bai Mengqing did not give a separate red envelope, but also added makeup, giving a pair of gold bracelets and a silver belt inlaid with rubies.
The silver belt is the rule of Yan Chunhua's hometown, according to the marriage given by the mother's family, a silver belt has been saved since the birth of the daughter, and when the time comes, she will accompany the daughter to marry, and when the person is gone, this silver belt will be followed into the earth. But Yan Chunhua didn't invite his parents to come over when he got married, so he married himself because he didn't get along.
This custom was told to her by Chen Xin's classmates, so before coming, Chen Xin talked to Ba Jia to ask his aunt and grandmother to help Yan Chunhua with such a belt.
