Chapter 16 Harvesting Poultry

Although Liu Yujin's family got so many fields in their hands, they didn't smash them in their hands as others thought. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info lotus root and callus white, all full of nearly 30 acres of paddy fields planted, but to make a profit, you have to wait until the next year. However, the ducks and geese they raise are very good. It's just that Liu Yujin, like Wang Hongying before, was both happy and uneasy in his heart.

"Hong Ying (in the past, in a special period, husband and wife and family members had to call each other by name and comrade, but now the supervision of each other is not so close, and everyone gradually omitted the word comrade)! You don't know, I sold ducks and geese during this time, and the better I sold, the more scared I became, and the selling was really shocking. ”

"How can this be? Now that no one is in charge of not letting you sell, what are you afraid of?" Wang Hongying looked at his man with a palpitating look, full of puzzlement.

"By the way, what did you think when you saw dozens of eggs in the chicken coop at that time?" Liu Yujin did not answer the woman's question, but asked her reaction when she encountered strange things before.

Not long after the incident, and for Wang Hongying, it was a strange thing that she had never dreamed of, so the memory was very deep and clear: "As soon as I saw that the chicken coop was full of eggs, I immediately turned around excitedly and ran back to get the basket of eggs. I asked my mother-in-law, and she said that it was okay, and that some people had met it before, but they didn't tell the public!

"Hey!~" Liu Yujin sighed at a turn, "I'm worse than eggs and duck eggs." Eggs, ducks, eggs don't have long legs, they can't walk by themselves, and they are in my nest, so they can hold them with peace of mind. But the duck and the goose have long legs and can run on their own. I'm always worried that other people's ducks and geese have come to my ducks and geese, and I sell them like this every day, and my heart is not steady! I'm always afraid that one day someone will come to my door and ask for ducks and geese, and then it will be a shame! People can't think that I'm not authentic, and I'm deliberately selling other people's livestock!"

When Wang Hongying heard this, he was so shocked that he almost jumped up: "What? But our ducks and geese can't be sold out, and they are always the same number? This, this, this is really scary, and things that are jumping around can be like this? Where do you say they all come from?"

This is to find a bosom friend, Liu Yujin nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes, yes, yes! Otherwise, I will not be able to do it in my heart." I remember that we had 200 goslings and 400 ducklings, and there were more than a dozen geese and 20 ducks that died. Later, a few more were killed by eels and snakes, and the last remaining geese were only 17 at most, and ducks were only 36 at most. When I first started, I caught a dozen ducks a day, picked five or six geese to sell in the county seat, and put the money at home when I came back, without thinking about the calculation. It's been almost a month, so it's time to finish the deal! I noticed something was wrong a few days ago, and I couldn't count it, but I could still tell it by looking at the pile. How do you look at my ducks and geese are still such a large group, I don't think the number is much less. The day before yesterday, I thought that our livestock would be sold cheaply anyway, and it wouldn't take long to sell them in any market, so I was ruthless and asked Uncle and Yu Yin to help me go out and sell them. More than 20 geese and more than 80 ducks were taken at once, and the first thing I did when I came back from the county was to see the number of ducks and geese, and it turned out to be such a large flock. Not at all!"

Wang Hongying was silent for a while before he spoke: "If you want to say that, I really remember one thing." In April and May, you brought yellow eels and loaches to your home every day, and I saw that there were too many in the tank, so I told you not to take them back. Do you remember?"

"Remember! After that, I gave the yellow eel and loach to Uncle and Yu Yin, and I didn't take them home. ”

Actually, my eel, loach and snails are all eaten when they can't be caught in the field, and I always thought that you brought them back, so I didn't take it seriously. Now it seems that it is the same as eggs, rice, and oil, and it will not be less than anything to eat. It's just that things that are seasonal will be cut off. ”

"Oh! I saw that there were always yellow eels and loaches at home, and I thought someone had sent them directly to my house. So is it with our ducks and geese! In that case, I can rest assured that I will be able to get a good night's sleep tonight. ”

Wang Hongying looked at the light of the kerosene lamp to see if Xiao Zhuo had woken up, and saw that she really had black and bright eyes and was lying very quietly. She picked up Xiao Zhuo and prepared to pee on her, while saying to her husband: "Then you can sleep well, get up early tomorrow, catch a few more big male geese and come back, eat one for yourself, one for your mother-in-law, one for your second brother and daughter-in-law, and one for the three aunts and sisters of the children, and send one to my mother's family." ”

Liu Yujin was stunned at first, but soon understood what his daughter-in-law meant. Since this animal is also a gift from God, then do not buckle the noose, but at least share it with your closest relatives. I'll catch a few geese early tomorrow morning while they've not been released from the slaughter. By the way, then do you want to call Brother Lao Hai over for dinner at noon tomorrow?"

This Lao Hai is Liu Yujin's distant cousin, his parents died when he was a child, but fortunately, he lived in the system of the new society, and grew up like this by relying on the big collective. However, there is no one to give him Zhang Luo's family affairs, and he is now in his twenties, and he is still a bachelor. This time, although he divided the land into five points, he had no place to live. He used to live in a hut next to the workshop where he processed feed and rice at the brigade headquarters, and was dedicated to taking care of the machines. It's just that now the processing room and the machinery are contracted to private individuals, and he has nowhere to go. It just so happened that Liu Yujin's family needed someone to take care of the lotus pond and ducks and geese, so they hired him.

Usually Liu Yujin's father Liu Baiquan helps deliver three meals a day to the shed in Yanwangou, and tomorrow he wants to cook meat dishes, and Liu Yujin thinks about inviting this brother to eat at home. It's just that Wang Hongying's thoughts are different: "Forget it, don't invite him home, after all, he is in his twenties and has not yet married, so it is not appropriate to call him to come to the house for dinner." Tomorrow get him some more meat, and give him another bottle of wine, so that he can drink it himself!"

"That's right!" Liu Yujin said with a sigh and said: "Fortunately, Brother Lao Hai doesn't know how to count, otherwise he will see that the number of ducks and geese in our family is wrong, and it will not be good to shout everywhere!"

Wang Hongying replied disapprerovingly: "Don't worry, if I hadn't seen this in person, I wouldn't believe it no matter who said it." If you hadn't caught geese and ducks every day, would you have thought of counting how many ducks and geese there were? When you go to my mother's house tomorrow, you will buy a few half-sized geese with others and put them together. ”

Liu Yujin grinned: "Hey! This can really fool people! Just do as you say." Then I'll go to sleep!"

As he spoke, he pulled the quilt up his neck, closed his eyes, and began to sleep.
