Chapter 033: Delivering a Sow
"Sister, when are we going back, Tie Dan doesn't like it here, my aunt is so scary, she screams every day." Tie Dan raised his head, his face was full of depression, Qin Duo had a helpless smile on his face, and then he touched Tie Dan's head.
"Tie Dan, in the future, we will all live here, because this is our home, there, it is just a small home, so, we will all live here in the future, although we live here, but Tie Dan can also go out to play with friends, and, when Tie Dan goes out, remember to go to Sister Thrush and tell Sister Thrush that I moved here." Qin Duo had a gentle smile on his face, and then said to Tie Dan, who let out a sigh and walked out a little sullenly.
Halfway through, Qin Duo shouted to Tie Dan again, "Tie Dan, have you finished your homework?" ”
"No, I'll write after dinner." Iron Egg turned his head, and then said. Qin Duo walked over quickly, and then took Qin Duo's hand. "Tiedan, do you remember what you said to your sister?"
Tie Dan raised his head and looked at Qin Duo, Qin Duo pulled Tie Dan to sit down. "Tiedan, did you ever promise your sister that you want to take the imperial examination and become a great champion?" Qin Duo had a gentle smile on his face, and then asked.
Tie Dan nodded, the corners of Qin Duo's mouth hooked up a faint smile, and then he touched Tie Dan's head, "Then Tie Dan told me, you can go out to play with children, you can learn knowledge, can you go to the scientific examination?" ”
"Mr. told me that if you want to participate in the scientific examination, you must study hard, not only study hard, but also work hard, so if Tie Dan wants to participate in the scientific examination, you must study hard, endorse books every day, and write homework and articles every day." Tie Dan said to Qin Duo loudly, looking at Tie Dan's appearance, the corners of Qin Duo's mouth hooked up a faint smile.
"Then Tie Dan told my sister, are you studying hard now?"
Tie Dan tilted his head and thought for a while, and then lowered his head, Qin Duo looked at Tie Dan's appearance, but he didn't speak again, just walked outside, "Sister is going out to deal with things, so Tie Dan's matter, solve it yourself." ”
Tie Dan raised his head and looked at Qin Duo, but Qin Duo had already gone out and disappeared, Tie Dan bit his lip, looked at Qin Duo's distant figure, gritted his teeth, but his eyes were thinking about countless things, "Sister, I'm sorry, Tie Dan will no longer be greedy for fun in the future." ”
Qin Duo's body at the door paused slightly, and then he went away, obviously forcing Tie Dan to read, but at this time, Qin Duo couldn't help but use this thing as bait to tell Tie Dan to read, Qin Duo sighed, although she didn't approve of Tie Dan working hard in order to gain fame, but Qin Duo knew that Tie Dan still had to study, in this era, it was because there were too few people who read, so Fang was to make better people live better, and the rest of the people were working hard.
Out of the room, Old Uncle Qin was waiting in the courtyard, Qin Duo looked at Old Uncle Qin, Old Uncle Qin had a smile on his face, and then looked at Qin Duo. "Miss, the master sent someone back to tell me that the things you added and subtracted are all very well prepared, and the little guy is outside now, but Miss is going out to meet?"
"Naturally, we want to meet, anyway, Daddy is busy for us outside, we naturally want to meet, by the way, ask Daddy how is the situation, it's freezing this day, Daddy's side is lacking something, all of them have to be prepared." The corners of Qin Duo's mouth hooked up a faint smile, and then he said.
"Okay, I'll take Miss over." After listening to Qin Duo's words, Uncle Qin's face immediately put on a smile, Qin Duo smiled and nodded, and then it passed, in the evening, Qin Duo asked Hong'er to prepare a jacket for Qin Dazhuang, and two pairs of cotton shoes, and handed them to Xiaowu, "These shoes are prepared by Tiedan, and this cotton jacket is attached to Hong'er, I'm afraid that my father will freeze outside, and when I ask my little brother to come over, bring these words over." ”
The little guy borrowed something and nodded with a smile, now Qin Dazhuang is dealing with businessmen from all walks of life every day, and he doesn't have much time to come back, even if he says, he can only let the little guy bring a sentence, this busy, Qin Dazhuang will probably be busy until the end of the year before he comes back, so the big and small things in the family are only done by the family.
Although there is only Hong'er in the yard who sells her body, there are still a lot of long-term workers and temporary workers, and these people all live in the Qin family, but they live in another place, and there are also people in the kitchen to help.
When Uncle Qin took the preparation list of New Year's goods, Qin Duo looked at the things on it, and was really startled, especially the dry goods to be prepared, so much, it is not a small amount, it is to be prepared, there is no ten days and eight days, Qin Duo is a person, and they are all unclear.
Qin Duo swept the New Year's goods list, looked at the things on it, frowned slightly, at this time, Hong'er walked in, and then looked at Qin Duo, Hong'er had a smile on her face and humility in her eyes. "The slave has seen the young lady."
"Now that you have thought clearly, it's best, just right, there is one thing here, I need your help, you come and take a look, in previous years, the Qin family also had to prepare so many things, you come to see these, I remember that there were many people in the house at the end of the year, where did those people come from, you tell me, I can find someone." Qin Duo smiled and beckoned to Hong'er, Hong'er answered yes, and then walked to Qin Duo's side, looking at the list on Qin Duo, his heart suddenly mentioned, and the whole person was a little more humble.
"In previous years, the preparation of the New Year's goods and the preparation of some dry goods were all from the hands of the lady, those people were invited by the lady, and I don't know where the lady invited them, but the people who favored them are very serious and very powerful, miss, why don't you ask the lady?" Hong'er looked tentatively towards Qin Duo, but saw that Qin Duo was just frowning, Hong'er couldn't figure out what Qin Duo wanted for a while, so naturally it was not easy to speak, just stood there quietly, waiting for Qin Duo's arrangement.
"No need, you go to the village for me and tell everyone, if anyone is willing to come to Qin Mansion to do things, I am willing to pay wages, fifty copper plates a day, and give one pound of meat and two pounds of rice after half a month, as long as every household is notified." Qin Duo raised his head, and then said.
"In this way, will the price be a little higher?" Hong'er said with some hesitation.
"One tael of silver is one hundred and twenty copper plates, generally speaking, at this time of the New Year, short-term workers are one or two silver a day, I only gave fifty copper plates, as for this catty of meat, it is only seven or eight dollars of silver, now it is November 15, in previous years it is necessary to do short-term work to December 28, this is still a month and a half, but only three catties of meat, six catties of rice, these years of income is not good, and there are wars and floods, the income of the villagers must not be high, these money, is enough for them to have a good New Year, So, you go and tell them now, and I'm sure I'll be able to fill them up tomorrow. Qin Duo had a gentle smile on his face, after Hong'er listened to Qin Duo's words, Fang Cai nodded, yes, if you calculate it like this, in fact, it is also earned by the family, in previous years, it was one or two silver a day, and when those short-term workers left, none of them still had to send a red envelope!
"I'll go." Hong'er had a smile on her face, and then she said.
"Don't, you explain by the way, both men and women are recruits, but the premise is that you can do things well, and men can add ten more copper plates a day when they come to do things." Qin Duo said with a smile, Hong'er nodded, and quickly ran out, this is the first thing Qin Duo explained to her, and it is also the time for her to behave well, so in this matter, she must do her best.
Looking at the departing Hong'er, Qin Duo put away the list, and then stood up. "Old Uncle Qin, let's take a look first, which pigs, chickens, ducks and geese are going to be slaughtered, and as mentioned in Daddy, I'll also take a look."
Qin Duo said with a smile, Old Uncle Qin nodded, and then went to the back with Qin Duo, the first thing the two of them went to was the pigsty, this hungry time someone was feeding the pigs there, seeing Qin Duo and Old Uncle Qin coming over, they immediately stopped, these days, they all already know that the person in charge of the house now is the young lady who was kicked out by Madame, and Madame's body, these days, is getting worse and worse, and even can't get out of bed, as for whether this is true, no one said, but everyone knows, there must be something wrong with this matter, but in front of Qin Duo, no one dared to bring up this matter.
Everything seems to have gone on like this, Qin Duo had a smile on his face, said hello to his mother-in-law with a smile, and then went inside, old Uncle Qin followed behind Qin Duo, and was about to tell Qin Duo how to choose a pig, but Qin Duo had already started to get busy, looked over one by one, patted the pigs with a familiar car, and then took a red pen and drew a circle on some of them.
"Let's take it and kill it if you draw a circle." Qin Duo said with a smile, looking at the pig that Qin Duo picked out, Old Uncle Qin's beard trembled, here, nine times out of ten, he and Qin Dazhuang had agreed in advance, could it be that Qin Duo also knew? But looking at Qin Duo in the past, Qin Duo just looked at it here and there, and even sometimes he would touch the pig's head, look at the pig, looking at this, Old Uncle Qin didn't speak, just followed Qin Duo all the way, killing a total of thirty pigs, most of which are used to make bacon, and there is a batch of them that are to be sent to the capital.
"Miss, the pigs have been chosen, do you want to go over and see the others or go to dinner?"
"Hey, what's wrong with that big sow?" Qin Duo was just about to answer Uncle Qin's question, when out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a big sow that was closed alone, and at this moment the big sow was lying there humming, looking out blankly with a pair of eyes.
"That's going to be produced, but it's been like this in the morning, and there are no piglets until now, but the humming is getting louder and louder, and I don't know what's going on." A mother-in-law walked over, and after hearing Qin Duo's words, she said, Qin Duo frowned and walked over, saw the appearance of the pig, sighed, opened the barricade, and then squatted beside the pig, silently here and there, and soon the corners of her mouth were smiling, "Old Uncle Qin, please go and get me some rice water, put some salt in it, and I will give it to the pig." ”
This is the local method in the countryside, after the old Uncle Qin heard it, he naturally smiled and passed, the mother-in-law only cared about the Lord, and she didn't care at all, but Qin Duo patted the pig's belly. "Okay, it's your blessing to have me today, don't worry, your baby will be born very safely."
Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of the pig's eyes, and the livestock also had affection, Qin Duo looked at the sow's appearance, and just sighed, "Don't worry, you won't be fine, without you, how can so many little piglets grow up?" Qin Duo touched the pig's belly, and then began to check it around, in her previous life, she had advanced equipment to handle everything, but now, she only has her hands, so she must do her best.
Countless knowledge in his mind is spinning, looking for the knowledge that Qin Duo needs most, this sow is obviously dystocia, but this problem is not a big problem for Qin Duo. It's just a little troublesome.
When Uncle Qin came in, he saw Qin Duo with his back to him, and under the sow, there were already two more little piglets, Qin Duo's whole person was squatting there, but his hands were moving, but in other places, Uncle Qin couldn't see it at all, seeing Qin Duo's appearance, Old Uncle Qin wanted to take a look, but looking at Qin Duo like that, he finally chose to give up, just sat next to Qin Duo, and then watched Qin Duo prepare things.
An hour later, Qin Duofang was in person, looking at the little piglets under the sow, and then sighed, "Although I tried my best, I still only had ten little piglets, and a few or two are very weak now, whether they can live or not depends on the will of God." ”
Hearing Qin Duo's words, Old Uncle Qin paused for a moment, looking at the sow being licking the little piglet in his arms, but Old Uncle Qin didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only sigh, and then handed over the water.
"Miss, things are ready."
"It's good to feed the sow, I'm not in the way, Uncle Qin, you watch here for a while, watch these little guys feed, a few little guys have been in the mother's belly for too long, so the body is a little weak, Uncle Qin, you watch them eat first here." Qin Duo walked with a smile, and then walked over, out of the pigsty, Qin Duo didn't care about the cold, and directly washed the exposed arm with a basin, at this time, Fang Cai put down his sleeves, and then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, although it was just a simple delivery, but for this nine-year-old body, it was indeed difficult to destroy anyone with help.
"Miss, Uncle Qin asked me to tell you that there is a little piglet in it and he doesn't drink milk."
"It's okay, put it next to the sow, and after a while, it will drink milk, forget it, I'll go over." Qin Duo walked in, looking at Qin Duo's back, the mother-in-law's face was puzzled for the first time, could it be that this young lady used to raise pigs, and what great things could not be raised?
Half an hour later, Qin Duo and Old Uncle Qin walked out with a smile, and the two of them walked outside together, Tie Dan and Li had already had dinner, this time was dusk, Qin Duo was not allowed to read at dusk, so Tie Dan was playing there when he was singing, several children gathered around him, and the thrush was standing far away under the eaves.
