338. Start
In the end, it didn't take a few breaths, and fell down again, but this is already very good, after all, it is a newborn pony, and it is still very weak.
Xiao Bai gently arched the pony with his head, and stood up on all fours, and Xiao Qi and Qiu Jing also stood up.
As soon as Xiaobai stood up, Qiu Jing took a shovel to shovel out some wet wheat straw, shoveled some quicklime and sprinkled it on it, cleaned it with a broom, and then spread some wheat straw again.
When the foal saw White's rise, he struggled to his feet and walked tremblingly towards his mother.
sniffed around Xiaobai's abdomen, and finally took a bite on the ** of Xiaobai's abdomen as if he had found the right place, and sucked it hard.
When Xiao Qi saw this scene, he laughed softly.
Qiu Jing also had a smile in his eyes at this scene, as long as he could eat it, there would be a mare in this little thing that would soon grow up.
Xiao Qi saw that everything was fine and the pony was also very healthy, so after saying hello to Brother Qiu, he didn't stay long and walked out of the stable, came to Jinxiu's side, and said to the girl: "Let's go, let's go home." ”
Jinxiu was reluctant to glance at the pony, but still followed the little aunt away.
After sending the two girls out, Qiu Jing still returned to the stable, he didn't worry about observing for a while, his eyes kept on Xiaobai and Xiaoma, paying attention to their situation.
Xiaobai finally gave birth to a mare after giving birth to three stallions, and Qiu Jing attaches great importance to this little mare.
You must know that his horse breed is excellent, as long as the little mare grows up safely, he can reproduce in less than two years, and give birth to a few mares, and then his horse herd will grow bigger and bigger, of course, with the growth of the horse herd, the benefits to him will naturally increase.
Perhaps worried that the newborn pony was tired, Xiaobai changed from standing to lying on his side on the grass, and the pony just lay on Xiaobai's abdomen.
Qiu Jing stayed in the stable for about half an hour, and walked out with confidence until he was sure that there was no problem.
After walking out, he didn't go out of the backyard, but walked in the direction of the vegetable field, he was going to pick some fresh vegetables, mixed with the carrots brought by Xiao Qi, and then cook some peanuts and beans to help Xiao Bai replenish his body.
After a while, Qiu Jing, who was holding a large pile of vegetables, appeared in the kitchen, he boiled the peanuts and beans in the pot first, and then used another stove to make lunch for himself.
A few days have passed unconsciously, and now the pony can stand very stable and be able to circle around Xiaobai.
In addition to feeding Xiaobai every morning and evening, Qiu Jing will not stay by Xiaobai's side the rest of the time, and please give Xiao Qi a meal at noon.
Every day, he followed Uncle Lu, Qingshan, and Brother Qinghai to go out and be busy.
No, it should be said that the strong laborers of the whole village were busy working together to build the wall.
These days, under the joint discussion of Uncle Lu, Uncle Lu and Grandpa Lu, the scope of the wall was finally decided.
Along the periphery of Qingyun Village, including the hundreds of acres of fields around Qingyun Village, all of them are within the scope of the wall, and all the way to the foot of Qingyun Mountain behind.
At the same time, there is a door in the middle of the mountain behind Qingyun Village, which isolates Qingyun Village from Qingyun Mountain, so that there is no need to worry that the wild things on the mountain will run to the village.
Regardless of whether there will be chaos in the future, it is always good to plan ahead, and it is right to review the past, it will indeed be much safer with this wall.
At first, when the people in the village heard that there was going to be such a wall, they said everything, but in short, there were mixed reviews.
Some people think it's very good, which greatly increases everyone's safety, and some people feel that they are full of food, this Qingyun Mountain has been built for hundreds of years, and I haven't seen anyone surround it, isn't it also safe and sound until now?
No matter what different opinions everyone has, when they hear that those involved in the work, each person will have 40 copper plates per day, and the eyes of these villagers are lit up, where are the different opinions? The collective agreed to build the wall, and to do so as soon as possible.
There are more than 100 families in the village, and now it is not a busy time, and each family has at least two or three strong laborers, thinking about how to make money? I didn't expect that there would be such a good opportunity in my own village, if there were more registrations, wouldn't the family be able to net a few taels of silver in a month?
With such an account, both men and women are actively signing up, isn't it just a fence? It is not a very difficult project, but the women are also capable.
So the wind direction changed, and everyone praised the village chief for his good proposal, praised the village chief for his foresight, and after patting the village chief's ass, they did not forget to praise the old and the enemy.
It turned out that Qiu Jing also donated 12,700 taels to the village, and his approach was obviously a bit naïve, but he did think that the proposal was very good, so he would come up with so much silver.
Just like several manors in his family, they are also fenced with high walls, which will be much higher in terms of security.
In his thoughts, since it has been repaired, it should be done in one step, at least the wall should be built at a distance of no less than two zhang, so as to effectively protect it.
In fact, on the day Xiao Qi went up the mountain, Uncle Lu had already ordered a large number of blue bricks and bluestones with different brick kilns.
A few days after the pony was born, Uncle Lu and the Qinghai Qingshan brothers and him have been receiving bricks one after another at the selected address.
The project also started yesterday, and hundreds of families in the village brought their own dry food, and the wall was nearly 100 meters long in one day, but the height was not as far as expected.
It is not possible for ordinary people in the village to work at height, and it requires special tools and bold and careful people.
Of course, due to the high risk of working at height, Uncle Lu's salary was set at 50 yuan a day, and a fixed 30 people were selected.
And he and the eldest brother of Qingshan Qinghai and several of them are responsible for supervising the work to prevent improper operation, especially in terms of high-altitude operations, the villagers are powerless people, and if they fall down from this distance of more than two zhang, the consequences will be very serious.
The whole amount of construction of the fence is still very large, glutinous rice lime and gravel, these also need special people, every day to boil a large amount of glutinous rice soup mixed with lime sali to make a special adhesive, used for brick-to-brick bonding.
And there must be a special transportation team, a brick transportation team, a procurement team and so on.
Every day, everyone is in full swing, and the motivation to make money is incomparable, so the wall is slowly erected in the orderly construction.
Xiao Qi Yu Jinxiu sometimes rode a horse to build a fence around the place, and even sometimes did what he could.
Of course, the people in the village will not let the two girls do it, mainly because they understand in their hearts that these two are the pearls of the Lu family, and the Lu family has a few families that lift people, and they are already officials, so they don't dare to let the two girls work.
In the middle of the day, Xiao Qi and Jinxiu stopped not far from the wall under construction in clothes that were convenient for riding and shooting, and watched from a distance.
Hundreds of people look really spectacular, everyone is busy, Xiao Qi sighed and looked at a part of the wall that has been successfully built, the width of the wall seems to be no less than one meter five by visual inspection, and the width of the wall is already okay.
The overall wall is not less than two zhang, or even higher than the distance of two zhang, which is enough to prevent ordinary soldiers or civilians.
Of course, if you meet a master, not to mention that the second zhang is three zhang and four zhang, you can't stop them, so this height is just right.
The two girls rode around the fence and saw some aunts cooking something strangely.
