During dinner in the evening, Lin Changyuan didn't hide it, and told him what happened in Zhou's house today, and the Wu family was very angry.

He hurriedly comforted, "Mother, don't be angry, this is also a good thing, I have thought about it, so that Wanyun can go home more." ”

Wu sighed, "That's it, that old woman is not a good person, getting angry with her just let her see the attitude of our family, we have been in-laws for so many years, we are single-minded, and her selfishness is very heavy." ”

Lin Dezheng said, "We don't want anything from her, what are you doing here to be angry?" ”

"I just can't figure it out, what are we doing wholeheartedly for their family?"

Lin Dezheng smiled, "I don't understand this, for the sake of our daughter and granddaughter, okay, let's eat, the third child is right, if the old woman wants to take advantage of it in the future, she has to let Wanyun go home more, so there is nothing bad about it." ”

After eating, it was already dark, and it was dark early in winter, so Siqi went out to pull some grass to feed the sheep before eating, and was feeding in the backyard at this time.

Menghuan and Zilong both helped her feed her, and Wu went to the backyard to put the chickens and ducks in the forest cage, and saw the three children feeding the sheep there.

Menghuan said, "Sister Siqi, shall I go with you to herd sheep?" ”

Siqi nodded, "Of course it's good, it's not fun for me to go alone, you don't follow the eldest lady to do needlework?" ”

Menghuan smiled, "Come back and learn again, go to herd sheep first." ”

Zilong also said on the side, "I want to go too." ”

Of course, Siqi will agree, "Go, let's go together, and buy more sheep in the future." ”

Wu watched from the side, knowing in his heart that Zilong and Menghuan also wanted to go to the mountains to herd sheep like Siqi and sell them for money in the future, but the two of them thought that they had no money at hand and did not dare to speak.

Especially Zilong, his father has no ability to go out to earn money, and now he is pulling the two of them, which is very hard, this child knows that he feels sorry for his father.

Wu pondered for a moment, and said with a smile, "Qi'er, there are too few sheep in these days, anyway, guarding such a big mountain, and our family has many children, so let's buy more sheep and come back, and you can go and put them together." ”

"Ming'er, I'll give your father these three heads of silver, and then let him buy some, and you guys will go to herd sheep together, and hand over the capital to the public middle school when you earn money in the coming year, okay?"

Of course, Siqi knew what Wu meant, and nodded with a smile, "Okay, okay, then there will be a lot of sheep." ”

Zilong and Menghuan were extremely happy, "Thank you, grandma." ”

After going back, the Wu family told Lin Changyuan about it, and gave him the silver, asking him to find the shepherd tomorrow to buy more sheep and come back.

Lin Changyuan calculated, although there is still grass to eat now, but it is troublesome to raise too much, and finally decided to buy a total of fifteen, Siqi has three here, and will buy twelve more tomorrow.

When he went to bed at night, Siqi was very satisfied, and he had something to do tomorrow.

At this time, it is quite convenient to raise sheep, and they can be put on the mountain, unlike raising cattle, which is not so free, and they have to be registered with the government.

There are still not many agricultural products at this time, so every household does not raise many pigs, otherwise there is nothing to feed, especially in winters like this, there are only two or three pigs at most in a family, so they have to go everywhere to find food for them.

In fact, raising pigs is the most convenient, if there are so many cash crops that can be used to feed pigs at this time, raising a dozen or twenty pigs at home can earn a lot of money every year.

At this time, pork is still more expensive than mutton, probably because of this.

Siqi calculated in his mind, raising more than a dozen sheep this year, and he should be able to make some money by selling them next year, and then he will find an opportunity to buy some more sheep, and in March, he can start raising silkworms when it is warm, and he can plant mulberry trees when he buys a weir pond, and he should be able to raise more silkworms next year.

By the way, next year, we will plant cotton, harvest cotton seeds, and keep more peppers.

Thinking about it this way, there are a lot of things to do next year, but after such a year, she has something in her hands, and the next days will definitely be better.

Thinking about it, she fell asleep, and had a dream that she was lying in the golden mountain, which she had earned.

The next day, they had to go to the town to work, Lin Changfu and Lin Changyuan left early in the morning, and when they arrived in the town, they first went to the place where they bought sheep yesterday to find a sheepherd, afraid that people would leave today, if he left, he would have to find someone again if he wanted to buy so many lambs.

The sheep were bought very smoothly, Lin Changfu knew the steward, and told the people that the two brothers first got the sheep home, and then drove the ox cart to the town to work, and this time they will not come back until the evening.

There were fifteen more sheep in the house at once, which doesn't sound like a lot, but it was quite spectacular to see these little sheep standing together.

There are a total of twelve black goats, and four white ones, all of which are very cute to look at.

The children of the family were very happy and touched around the backyard.

The Lin family also raised sheep before, but at that time, the children were still young, and the adults were busy with the work in the fields, and they had no time to take care of them, so they stopped raising them later.

Now I am afraid that the children at home will not be able to herd the sheep, so today Lin De is personally taking them to herd the sheep, explaining to them all the things to pay attention to, and the children will go by themselves after a few days.

With so many people in the village, of course they were curious to see them leading the sheep, so someone asked, "Lao Lin, are you raising sheep again?" ”

Lin Dezheng said with a smile, "The children can't stay idle at home, so they buy some sheep for them to graze, and they can make money by selling them in the next year, and they are also having fun." ”

The man said enviously, "Oh, this is good, all your children are diligent and sensible, how can they be like the two grandsons of my family, they play crazy everywhere all day long, and they can't control it." ”

Lin Dezheng said with a smile, "There are many girls in our family, and the girls' family doesn't like to play outside." ”

Halfway up the hill, there was a large open space, and Lin Dezheng pointed to them, "In the future, I will leave here to graze the sheep, and I am not allowed to run into the mountains, it is too dangerous." ”

It's winter now, and a lot of the grass on the ground has withered, but it's not like it's not unfed, this place is so big, these dozen sheep can still be fed.

Although Lin Dezheng usually doesn't talk much, he is a very kind grandfather, and he is very patient with the children, and he always talks to them with a smile, and the children are not afraid of him.

In the next few days he will take the children to herd the sheep, and when he has brought the sheep out, he will let the sheep graze by themselves, and the people will sit there and watch.

There is nothing to do all the time sitting like this, and Lin Dezheng told the children about herding cattle and sheep when he was young, and listened to them with relish one by one.

Siqi especially likes to listen to these stories, she always went to the countryside when she was young, and her grandmother told her the same thing, moving a small bench to sit next to her, and she could listen to them all morning.
