Chapter 12 Building a Pigsty

Huang plans to let Lin Erniu quit his job in the Xia landlord's house, build a pigsty with adobe bricks in the backyard of his house, and wait for the market to hold a piglet from the market and come back to raise it himself, and then use bamboo pieces to make a chicken coop by himself, buy an old hen and then buy a nest of chickens to raise back, so that the family can eat eggs by themselves next year. Lin He thinks this is a good thing, this kind of native eggs in ancient times are extremely nutritious, and they don't need their own food to raise chickens and pigs, and the mountains are full of wild vegetables, and they come back and chop them up and feed them.

Lin He also considered, selling puppet toys is just an expedient measure, is to earn some money back to improve the environment at home, if it is said to make a lot of money I am afraid that it is an unlikely thing, after all, this kind of thing is launched, imitations will appear one after another, and when more and more are produced, these originally rare things will not be valuable, and when there are more and more competitors, the price will naturally drop lower and lower.

If people with active brains can draw inferences from these toys, I am afraid that these things will not be unusual, and the more I am afraid that the money given by the shopkeeper Wen will be less and less, so I can only make a sum of money while others have not reacted for the time being.

The current children in the family are still young, but the cost is more and more, and the money of these toy puppets can only ensure that the life of the family is slightly more stable, if you want to get rich, I am afraid that there is still a long way to go, in any case, it is better to take care of the current things first.

The next day, Lin Erniu took Dabao and Qin's father to build a pigsty in the backyard of the house, the adobe bricks at this time are very cheap, the adobe bricks are the mud dug in the mountains, and then they fall hard, after falling into an embryo, and then frame it with a wooden frame, dry it, and their own homes can be beaten, because they don't have time to play by themselves, so they bought it at the place where the bricks were made, and the bricks that could be built into a pigsty were only used for less than fifty yuan.

Lin Erniu can build a house, and it is very easy to build a pigsty naturally, Daddy Qin and Dabao will work together, and in one day, the pigsty will be built, and then nail some rotten wood into a small door, as long as the door is half a person high, it is convenient to feed.

In the evening, Lin He and Huang said that they wanted to eat dumplings, Huang couldn't resist Lin He's nagging, and the family also bought some pork belly yesterday, and the cabbage and radishes were also ready-made, and it was rare for the family to eat dumplings once, so they agreed to make dumplings at night, and the family ate a meal of dumplings in the evening, compared to the previous life, the taste of this dumpling is still worse, but fortunately, someone is accompanied to eat, and it has a different taste.

A few days later, Lin Erniu bought back a fat piglet from the set, and brought back a nest of chickens and an old hen, which was originally intended to be placed in the front yard, but Lin He said that there was a smell of in the front yard, or put it in the backyard, Huang didn't understand how the eldest daughter of his family became so expensive, this rural person who did not put the chickens in the front yard to raise, but also could not stand Lin He's opposition, there is also a place to raise chickens in the backyard, and the children in the front yard are also running around, afraid of stepping on the chickens, so they agreed to put them in the backyard.

In the past few days, Zhou also often brought children to the yard to play, Zhou saw the changes in the Erniu family, and was also very surprised, in just a few days, the family has changed, Huang only explained that "it was Erya who made a few toys, and they were seen by a shopkeeper on the street, and they made some money," and they didn't say much, after all, people are separated from their stomachs.

If he suddenly said that his seven-year-old daughter made so much money all of a sudden, and was known by some people with ulterior motives in the village, no one could have predicted what kind of turmoil it would set off, and besides, his family's affairs did not need to be exposed too much in front of outsiders, and Zhou was also a smart person and did not ask too much. Since Lin He came back with the money, the Huang family has helped their family.

I sent new winter clothes to the two children, and also sent a new quilt made of medium cotton, and from time to time to send some food to the children at home, Lin He's family is good, and her family is good, originally Erniu's family was not rich when they saw their orphans and widows have to help a lot, now it is needless to say, Zhou's is also a grateful, because she is a widow, Erniu is not at home She often runs to Lin He's house, the two children often come, lunch is eaten here for many days.

After a few days, Ya Yu came to the door, saying that the field was found, but there were only eight acres of good land but ten acres of sand field, I was afraid that Erniu's family would not want it, so I specially came to ask, and Erniu asked Ya Yu to take him over to see.

This family is because the whole family wants to move to the city to open a store, and no one takes care of these fields in the hometown, so they are in a hurry to sell it, the price is very good, the good field is still six taels and one acre, and the sand field will be counted together for fifteen taels of silver, which is equivalent to one or two five dollars per acre, originally it was to be two taels of silver per acre, and the two cows are not going to want, and the sand field is of no use except for planting some sweet potatoes and other crops, if it is a few acres, it is okay, but ten acres is too much, just say go home and discuss it with your family. Ya Yu told him to find the next buyer as soon as possible, if he didn't.

Back home, Lin Erniu and Huang were discussing on the side, Lin He listened on the side, heard Lin Erniu say that there were a lot of sand fields, asked him what sand fields were, Lin Erniu said, "Sha Tin can't be planted to marry, usually you can plant some sweet potatoes, cabbage and other crops." ”

Lin He remembered that in his previous life, many things could be planted on the sandy land, such as watermelons, muskmelons, and some greenhouse vegetables in winter.

asked Lin Erniu, "Dad, do we have any watermelons for sale here in summer?" ”

Lin Erniu didn't know what a watermelon was, so Lin He told him about the shape of the watermelon, Lin Erniu said that he had heard it said, but it was not called watermelon, it was called summer melon, and the characteristics of it were the same as watermelon, but he had never eaten it, watermelon seemed to be a very rare thing in ancient times, but as long as he had it, he could grow it himself.

Lin He begged Lin Erniu to buy those lands, saying that it was excellent to grow watermelons in this sandy land in the summer, in addition to watermelons, you can also buy some other things to plant, and it is not a loss to buy back those sandfields, Huang heard Lin He say this, and also felt that it was okay, Lin Erniu saw that his daughter-in-law and children were in favor, so he naturally agreed.

After Lin Erniu and Yayu were confirmed, they also got the title deed in the government, and also gave Yayu a hardship fee of 300 yuan. also said that if there was anything to do in the future, just look for him, Lin Erniu agreed to come down. Erniu came back and held the title deed of those few acres of fields, his eyes were smiling, and the title deed was tightly held in his arms.

In the future, I finally don't have to hand over most of my hard-working food to other people's families every year, the most important thing is that with these fields, my family can be regarded as living a good life, even if it is a natural disaster, I am not afraid of starving to death again, and I don't have to be afraid that in winter, the child will not be hungry and find something to eat. There is no need to often rely on the help of his wife and mother's family to survive the winter, a man who does not want to rely on others to help to live, his family was indeed poor before, adults do not eat can be children, for the children there is no way, now the family has these fields their own good days are finally coming.
