Yan Yuxiang got up early the next morning, and by the time others got up, he had already cleaned up the empty space next to the toilet.

When Yan Yuxiang first got married, Dongzi's grandparents only gave them two caves, and even the courtyard wall, kitchen, and toilet were newly built by the two later. Yan Yuxiang also practiced the work of a mason from these things. At this time, building two pigsty seemed to him to be a piece of cake.

I saw that he leveled the open space well, and looked at the place, and the three pigsty could be placed. But he felt that there was no need to repair so much at first, just two of them, he had his own plans.

After breakfast, Yan Yuxiang started his tractor, he was going to find stones, just after this year, many rocking hills have not started, Yan Yuxiang just took this opportunity to pick up a few decent pieces of time to come back to build a pigsty. He went back to the hill of haystacks, which he was most familiar with, and there was no one on the haystacks, and he could see them from a distance from his house. Looking at the mountain that I had worked so hard to fight, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart. Since I got sick, this business has not been as good as before, so isn't it a blessing in disguise?

Yan Yuxiang looked around, and saw that no one came, so he packed up a cart of stones after dividing it by two, and he thought as he cleaned up, alas...... These people are really a waste of materials, such a good stone should not be discarded, if it is repaired and repaired, it will definitely be a good stone to take. It's a pity that this is already someone else's mountain, although he wants to, but the work in his hands has not stopped, his movements must be as fast as possible, otherwise he will be discovered, and he will not be able to tell. In fact, at that time, the rural people were still quite harmonious, as long as it was for their own use, they were all allowed to take it, but he was the old owner of this mountain, so he was afraid that Xiucai would meet a soldier, and he couldn't explain it.

It took some time to build the pigsty, and it was all surrounded by stones, and the top was first made of wood, and then evenly plastered with lime, so that it looked shiny and shiny. Yan Yuxiang did not repair three, but repaired two relatively large ones, his plan is: one raises two sows for piglets, and the other raises seven or eight piglets, first raise them for half a year to see the results.

Let's talk about the fact that something happened during the construction of the pigsty.

This change has to start from the beginning. It is said that Yan Yuxiang's grandfather has a total of five brothers and sisters, in addition to Yan Yuxiang, Dongzi has two aunts, an uncle, and an uncle. The uncle is called Yan Yufu, and the uncle is called Yan Yuming. The two aunts married into other villages, and rarely interacted with their families, especially Yan Yuxiang. Of course, this is after Yan Yuxiang got married.

Dongzi's grandfather thought about it back then, and each of the three brothers had two caves, so it was natural to arrange Dongzi's family in the middle two caves. After Yan Yuxiang got married, his wife Yan Xiuping righteously proposed to split the family, and the specific method was to first build up the courtyard walls of the two caves of her own house, and she became a separate individual. The plan she proposed was nothing to think of, after all, the children were already married. But after so many years of living together as a family, not only is it difficult to change the living habits, but even the farm tools are mixed together, and the most controversial of them is a well shared by the whole family. When Grandpa Dongzi was repairing this six-eye cave, he also drilled a well for the convenience of the whole family, which was right in the middle of the yard.

At that time, the whole family quarreled over this well, and no matter what method was exhausted, it was unevenly divided. For this reason, Yuxiang also had a fight with his younger brother Yan Yuming, the two of them had a blue nose and swollen face, and even the eldest brother Yan Yufu who was fighting also suffered a lot of fists. But this can't stop Yan Xiuping's enthusiasm to split up, which is how she was forced to separate back then. Of course, in order to compromise, he left a small door on the courtyard wall of his house and Yan Yufu's house, but despite this, the whole family was also very dissatisfied. According to Yan Xiuping later cried with Dongzi: Yan Yuxiang's family was instigated by his grandparents and embarrassed themselves, to give a simple example is that when Yan Xiuping wanted her husband to repair the kitchen and courtyard wall, Dongzi's father just built the wall during the day, and it was inexplicably picked up at night, Yan Xiuping didn't think about it and said that it was Dongzi's grandfather who instructed Yan Yuming to do it, until later many strange things happened, such as Yan Yuxiang later had a tractor, but the rear wheel of the car was always out of gas every morning, Yan Xiuping didn't do anything and pushed it all on Yan Yuming, and the initiator of all this was Grandpa Dongzi。 After so many years, although the two families live under the same roof, the relationship is getting worse and worse. Yan Xiuping's words made Dongzi feel how vicious his grandparents were at that time, and he didn't even call his uncle when he saw him, and it wasn't until Dongzi became an adult that he felt what a stupid thing it was.

To get back to the point, now the two of them are going to build a pigsty outside the yard, which will inevitably encroach on some of the places shared by the three families. Yan Yufu's family said that he went out directly to the main road and did not interfere too much, but Yan Yuming stopped doing it, because Yan Yuxiang left a road for his family that could only accommodate a tractor. Yan Yuming felt that his brother had become more and more excessive in recent years, not only repairing the kitchen to block the lighting of his house, but now even the way out of their house was blocked. This time I can't afford to compromise. came up with a way to obstruct in every way, Yan Yuming's only advantage is that he is the eldest in the family, and the countryside is like this, not only patriarchal, but also small and small, which is especially obvious in Dongzi, a son who is both male and small.

Yan Yuming first ran to his parents to cry, and Dongzi's grandfather was inconvenient in his eyes, (this will be mentioned later, it is also a contradictory dispute.) Grandma Fuyuko went to the house and obstructed it in every possible way. It even made trouble in the village brigade. In Yan Xiuping's words, the group of people in the brigade are all eating dry food, and how can anyone do things seriously, but it is no wonder that it is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs! The two families have been at a stalemate like this.

In the matter of family infighting, Yan Xiuping has never suffered a loss, although it took a lot of time, she still relied on her perseverance to build the pigsty, and the method used was that others picked him two, and he asked her husband to build three day and night. She never thought that her husband Yan Yuxiang was the most painful person in this bureau. Although this happened, the consequence was that Yan Yuxiang's relationship with his family became more difficult. In the past, it was still a contradiction between Yan Yuxiang and Yan Yuming, but now the whole family is almost unanimously on the side of his younger brother Yan Yuming, and there is even a tendency to cut off the relationship. This contradiction has accompanied Yan Yuxiang throughout his life, and has also been passed on to his next generation, Dongzi.

After the pigsty was repaired, the relationship between Yan Yuxiang and his parents eased a little, and the two spent money to buy back an old sow from the county. According to the pig seller, the sow had already conceived a litter, and the first child had an extraordinary record, giving birth to fourteen in a row. This situation is most sought-after in the sow market. And this sow is now pregnant with a piglet, and she can give birth to her calves when she buys it home, and now their husband and wife have picked up a big bargain. So as soon as the two were happy, they spent almost twice the price of the same sow to bring the sow home.

The man really didn't lie, in less than a month, the sow had a great intention to give birth, and the reason why it was described as intention was because Yan Yuxiang himself didn't know when the sow gave birth. The dramatic thing is that one morning in early May, Yan Yuxiang got up early as usual, and when he went to the toilet, he passed by to take a look, hey! It turned out that this sow had really given birth to a little piglet! Yan Yuxiang was so happy that he hurriedly woke up his wife when he went back, and ran back to the pigsty in a hurry to observe carefully, but only found two little piglets after counting. When he was buying a sow, he heard the man pat his chest and say, "Don't worry about this pig, if you can't give birth to more than ten, you will come to me." But why did they give birth to two? Could it be that it was just the beginning? I saw him jump into the pigsty with a bang, and it didn't matter if he jumped, the sow also got up and ran towards Yan Yuxiang, who also had to protect the calf! Frightened, Yan Yuxiang hurriedly jumped up again.

After the sow stood up, Yan Yuxiang saw the whole picture of the pigsty, so it was really only two births, and there was a pink, bloody thing where the sow was lying, Yan Yuxiang was startled, how did this sow pull out the intestines?

Of course, he only learned later that it was called placenta. After the sow gives birth to the piglets, the placenta must also be born, which means that the birth is over.

Yan Yuxiang saw that the sow was fine, so he carefully observed the two little piglets, which is also strange, the mother pig is white, but the two little piglets born are black. The umbilical cord was still dragging on his stomach, and Yan Yuxiang didn't dare to move. I've only eaten pork, and I've never seen a pig run!

Yan Xiuping also came, she had seen some of this scene, it was still a child, Dongzi's grandfather herded sheep for the village team, and was transferred to raise pigs from time to time, but she was also very puzzled, I heard Dongzi and his grandfather say that pigs have to give birth to more than a dozen at every turn, why do we only give birth to two pigs in our own family? Is this a sign of disadvantage for teachers?

These two little piglets are enough for two people to be busy, and they don't have time to think about whether they were deceived by the pig seller, and the two of them actually boiled a big pot of porridge for the sow, the reason is very simple: people need to drink porridge when they are confined, and the pig must also need it.

However, although the reasons are different, but this big pot of porridge is a great help to them, it turns out that this sow is not as the pig dealer said, it is the first time to give birth, no milk, but Yan Yuxiang and his wife did not find this problem, and after Yan Xiuping gave the sow a big pot of porridge, the sow began to milk.

The two of them stayed next to the pigsty all day long, for fear of a mistake, and the happiest thing with the little pig was Dongzi, these are his good toys. Every morning when I get up and brush my teeth, I have to brush my teeth in the pigsty, and I have to pee towards the pigsty, looking at these two lively little pigs, Dongzi doesn't want to go to school anymore.

Finally hit the full moon, these two little black pigs are growing well, but it is a little diarrhea, this is a normal reaction of the sow when weaning, according to the general practice, at this time should be taken care of, and every time you feed a little antidiarrheal medicine into it, Yan Yuxiang where do you understand these, it was in June, the grass in the ground has grown, Yan Yuxiang went to cut a little grass every day to feed the pigs, and the symptoms of diarrhea in the piglets became more and more serious.

Until one day, Yan Yuxiang got up and found that one of them was dying, so he was in a hurry, and with the help of his wife Yan Xiuping, he invited a veterinarian assigned by the county animal husbandry station, the veterinarian came by motorcycle, and the whole village knew that the sound of the motorcycle was loud, and until Dongzi grew up and went to study in other places, every time he came home, he heard the sound of the veterinarian's motorcycle, and he could quickly distinguish it. The veterinarian was very experienced, and although his rescue stopped the symptoms of diarrhea at the other end, the dying little piglet could not be saved.

The veterinarian not only cured them of the piglet's disease, but also popularized a lot of pig raising knowledge, telling Yan Yuxiang that he would have to come again in ten days, as for the reason, Yan Yuxiang couldn't cry or laugh. It turned out that it was necessary to cut off the ** of the little piglet, and it is said that only in this way will the little piglet grow up wholeheartedly.

But the thing that annoyed him came again, a month after the little black pig was weaned, the sow suddenly became manic, and the food was not delicious, neighing all day long, jumping up and down, Yan Yuxiang didn't know what to do. I had no choice but to invite the veterinarian again, this time I saw the veterinarian jump into the pigsty, gently press the sow on the ass with his hand, and say that it is strange, the sow seems to make people point to the hole, motionless. By the time the veterinarian took his hand away, the sow began to get restless.

The veterinarian laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's not a disease." ”

Yan Yuxiang asked puzzledly, "It's not a disease, what is it?"

The veterinarian jumped up from the pigsty, washed his hands, and whispered a few words in Yan Yuxiang's ear, and Yan Yuxiang understood. It turned out that the sow was in heat. In fact, he had heard all these truths, but he only knew until he really appreciated them.

The little black pig grew up slowly, but because it was not fed, but some leftovers at home, it grew very slowly, although it grew thick. Yan Yuxiang's road to pig breeding began.

On the eve of New Year's Day this year, the sow gave birth to a second litter, but this time there were twelve piglets, colorful and colorful. Although two died in the middle, there were still ten left, and Yan Yuxiang was very satisfied. The thing that made him happy and worried was that in another month, this group of piglets should be weaned, and he had prepared antidiarrheal medicine in advance. But looking at the only two pigsty in the family, he made a difficulty, and it seemed that he could only sell the little black pig within this month.
