The wheat in the farmland next to Lin Yu's house has turned golden, and the people in the village have harvested it one after another, and her family farming has gradually entered the right track.

Now there are many more lives in the family that need her care, and they are busy every day, often the chickens and ducks have just been fed here, and the pigs are hungry there.

Uncle Zhu helped her make a basket, which was much larger than her bamboo basket, but because she could carry it, she could take a lot more things than before, and it was not too difficult.

Under today's conditions, pigs can eat only a limited amount of food, sorghum rice, soybeans are all grains, can not be used to feed pigs, poor people still have rice bran and wheat bran to eat, counting, can only give pigs to eat this weed.

So she now has to go to hunt two pigweeds every day, and sometimes she will let Ling'er carry a bamboo basket with her.

The pigs of this era are so pitiful that they want to eat their meat, but they can't give them good food. The forest fish fed for more than half a month, and found that the pig did not grow fat, but also lost weight, so she gritted her teeth and was ruthless, scooped some sorghum rice and cooked with pigweed, and fed for more than half a month, the piglet's fat only grew a little back, at the cost of the sack containing sorghum rice, shrunk to the bottom.

But thinking that if the pigs grow fast, they still can't always be fed pigweed, which doesn't cost money, so she thought about preparing some feed by herself, although it is certainly not as fast as modern fattening with additives, but it is better than now, right?

Uncle Zhu had an ox cart, and when he went to the town again to deliver wild things, Lin Yu went with him and bought 50 catties of wheat bran, corn bran, soybeans, and sorghum rice.

Half of the sorghum rice was kept for home eating, and after the soybeans were returned to Uncle Zhuzi, all the rest was taken to the mill and milled into rice flour and bean bran, which were mixed with wheat bran and corn bran together, and each time a scoop was scooped and cooked together with pigweed, and the number of feeding became three times a day.

When feeding chickens, ducks and rabbits, also put a little mixed with delicate leaves to mix together.

There will always be a harvest if you pay, the forest fish every day let their tired feet do not touch the ground, but fortunately two or three months later, the results will be revealed, piglets, chickens, ducks and rabbits with the naked eye can see the speed of expansion, growth is gratifying.

Rabbits are the fastest growing inside, and the reproductive ability is also strong, and the forest fish may not be able to see rabbits in the trap every few days up the mountain, but the rabbits that were caught and fed back before have been bred from the original six or seven to twenty or thirty, but fortunately, she took the time to make a few large bamboo cages, and separated the female rabbits, cubs and male rabbits, so that there was no stampede accident.

Because he was busy feeding these livestock every day, and he didn't have time to go hunting with Uncle Zhuzi, he had little income, and only occasionally sold some river fish to subsidize the family. Now that the family is only unable to enter and exit, and the money in his hand is getting less and less, thinking that he can't sit and eat empty, he will always want to earn money again, so that Qi'er can go to school earlier.

She thought that now the chickens and ducks are still small, no one should be able to look at them, and after taking the rabbits and selling them, she began to let Qi'er learn to feed the chickens and ducks, Ling'er to learn to feed the pigs, and she hunted the pigweed at home for several days, and asked the apricots and the bolt baby to help her watch the house, and she followed Uncle Zhuzi into the mountains to hunt.

Uncle Zhu didn't dare to go into the mountains because he took her, and only hunted some small prey around, although the forest fish was young, but after practicing arrows for several months, the range and accuracy had been greatly improved, so even if Uncle Zhu couldn't go into the mountains, he cooperated with the forest fish, and the wild things he hunted were not small.

After entering the mountain many times, Lin Yu was a little curious about this mountain range, and asked Uncle Zhu to tell her, where is the end of this deep mountain? But Uncle Zhuzi said that he didn't know, and said that this countryman is not qualified to go to too many places, he has never been out of Jiahe County since he was born, only knows that the river at the mouth of Huaikou Town is on the other side of this mountain, and it is almost the same as the Quhe Village to the town, and it is only seven or eight miles away.

Lin Yu disagreed in her heart, she remembered that Yan Gu had said that he only encountered a sneak attack when he came down from Bian Du by water, that is to say, only the territory of this Huaikou is a big mountain, and there are still people in front of Huaikou, because the sneak attackers must find a quiet, uninhabited place to start, so that Yan Gu and they can't ask for help.

Yan Gu's father is an invincible general, and the matter of him being hunted down and killed is definitely not simple, either a family feud or a national hatred, but these things are naturally worried about by their family, and she doesn't have that much ability to help investigate.

In the past, when I went into the mountains with Uncle Zhuzi, it was just after winter, and the trees in the mountains had just pulled young leaves, but now that it was summer, I found many fruit trees that bore wild fruits, including peaches, wild pears and wild apples.

Uncle Zhu agreed with her words when he heard it, saying that he had long wanted to plant fruit trees, but he always felt that every time he had to bring prey, he had to carry the tree back, which was too troublesome.

Time slowly, after the end of summer into autumn, the newly planted corn in the farmland is golden again, and their own pigs, chickens, ducks and rabbits, which are fed by Ling'er and Qi'er, have doubled in size, compared with the average farmer's feeding is much stronger, it seems that it will not take a year to turn into silver. Uncle Zhu laughed at her for being too wasteful, saying that the farmer's goal of feeding these domestic animals was not to waste leftovers, but she was fine, and gave all her rations to these animals, but she tightened her belt.

Lin Yu had to smirk at Uncle Zhuzi, when he was really a fool, but he thought in his heart that modern pigs eat better, and they can be slaughtered in three months, if Uncle Zhu Zi knew, the big teeth might be scared off.

It is said that the livestock here have to be fed for a year or two before they can be slaughtered, usually in the first month of the year, and can only be raised to the weight of slaughter at the end of the year, and like the forest fish family, there is no grain for the pigs to eat, let alone a few months in advance of the slaughter. There must be a demon when something goes wrong, the forest fish dare not be too different, so I have to let Ling'er only add a little feed when feeding the pigs, and the chickens and ducks still eat as usual.

After entering the mountain with Uncle Zhuzi for the last time, and picking some wild fruits, she stopped going, and now the chickens and ducks have grown so big, she is afraid that people with crooked hearts will start to act, Ling'er and Qi'er are too small, in case the people who come to steal chickens and dogs hurt them, they will regret it.

After Lin Yu stopped going out, he was happiest and said that they were sisters and brothers, after all, it was very hard to feed the livestock, and since Lin Yu followed Uncle Zhu to hunt, they hadn't had a good time for a long time, and even if Apricot and Bolt Baby came over, they could only help them do things.

The little chubby dun bought back with the chickens and ducks also made Qi'er feed the big fat dun, very big, and there is often a wind and grass outside the yard that will scream fiercely, and the three sisters and brothers are docile and well-behaved, because Qi'er is feeding it, it listens to Qi'er's words the most, and follows him like a fart worm every day, helping to raise chickens and ducks.

The rabbits grew faster, so the forest fish sold all the rabbits that could be slaughtered, leaving only some rabbits at home.

Because Qi'er has to dig a lot of crickets for chickens and ducks to eat every day, there are long fast chickens began to lay eggs, Qi'er who picked up the eggs was very excited, saying that the eldest sister was the hardest, so that the forest fish must eat first, to pick up the second egg and give it to Ling'er, and then pick up the egg later, he didn't eat it, saying that it was saved up and sold for money, and it would be good to give the eldest sister and the second sister a dowry in the future, Lin Yu almost didn't laugh and cry when he heard his words, and he didn't know who taught him, thinking that he and the bolt baby went the closest, it must have been the naughty egg in front of him to say this, He told him to eat more nutritious food in order to grow taller and protect the eldest sister and second sister, so he talked for a long time before he boiled his egg and ate it.

Ten chickens, there are four hens, with the first egg, there is a second, third, fourth like an infectious disease, to the back of the day can pick up two or three eggs, the forest fish to sell a few times, there are some left at home is not willing to sell, thinking that can not sell a few money, and then buy chickens have to spend money to buy, now they have their own roosters, it is better to save up and learn to hatch eggs by themselves, once not twice, if you can hatch the eggs yourself, then you can feed as many chickens as you want.

She went to the apricot house to ask grandma how the chicks hatched, and grandma said that the hens hatched the chicks generally have to stay in the nest for twenty or thirty days, because they are afraid that they will not be warm and will not hatch out, and they will not eat much out of the nest.

She thought that it was impossible for her hens to stay in the nest to incubate their eggs, and when she got home, she racked her brains again to think about what modern artificial incubation was like, and began to slowly try to hatch herself
