Chapter 229: Promoting Winter Nests
"I remember that there was a big snowstorm 30 years ago, and the snow kept falling from the sky like pulling cotton, and the bodies of cattle and sheep were covered with white, and many animals froze to death that year!" The old man Niu had a serious expression, as if he had returned to the winter of thirty years ago.
Listening to the old man's words, everyone's expressions became nervous, if Zhuo Yan is the current little expert in getting rich, then the old man Niu is the living dictionary in the village, he is old, he has experienced a lot of things, and he can easily say the ups and downs that the fine willow camp has experienced over the years.
"There was a lot of snow that winter, and I couldn't build the barn temporarily, because the ground was frozen and the piles couldn't be driven," said the old man, looking gloomy.
"Oh my God, will there be so much snow this year?"
"I'm thinking, since the city has made a special forecast, it will definitely not be small, let's prepare first!"
The villagers talked a lot, and more than half of them decided to go home and repair the livestock shed on the spot.
According to the village chief Zhuo's method of repairing the livestock, it doesn't cost much, and the stones and trees can be found, but they just have to hire someone to help, and it costs a few meals.
Seeing that the villagers listened to his words, Zhuo Yan also achieved his goal.
In the next few days, the village was in full swing, everyone you help me and I help you divide the shares, pulling and repairing the livestock shed.
There are also some villagers who are lazy and don't want to move, but they are also driven by others to work.
At this moment, the livestock shed of the Zhuo Yan family has already been completed, and the next thing they build is a chicken shed in the backyard.
Originally, there was no such thing as a chicken shed, but the number of chickens in Zhuoyan was too much, and now they have all grown up, and some sturdy chickens have begun to lay eggs and hold their nests.
In this way, it is necessary to leave enough space for the old hen in the nest so that other chicks do not spoil the eggs.
Considering that the taste of the chicken shed was not good, Zhuo Yan simply extended the position of the chicken shed back by about five or six meters, and this distance was to build a passage from the backyard to the chicken shed.
As for the rabbits, they are separated from the chickens from the surface, but these little guys are the best at cultivating plank roads in the light and Chen Cang in the dark, they have already made holes in the ground, and the holes extend in all directions, and no one knows where they have gone to settle down.
Seeing that the people of the Xiliu Camp were busy with infrastructure construction, the people of Mu Kezhai were still talking about the wind and cold, saying that the people of the Xiliu Camp were idle and panicked.
At the beginning, the helpers in the brick kiln were all the children of Mu Kezhai, and they worked in the brick kiln for cash, just like the workers working in the city.
Now that the brick kiln has been extinguished, the work of the villagers of Mukezhai has also been lost, and everyone will inevitably transfer their emotions to Xiliuying.
However, in Peach Blossom Village, when they saw the construction of the fine willow camp, they also built sheds.
Seeing that the winter defense work was slowly on the right track, Village Chief Zhuo and Chu Xingchen both breathed a sigh of relief.
After the winter nest was repaired, the cattle and sheep themselves felt warm, and they ran into it one by one after eating grass all day long, and the villagers saw it in their eyes and were happy in their hearts, and they were full of praise for the Zhuo family in private, of course, there was a discordant sound here.
For example, the Zhou family, who lives in the east of the village, has been speaking ill of Zhuo Yan.
Zhuo Yan had already expressed her attitude, she bought so much forage because she was afraid that the snow would be too big in winter, so she specially helped the villagers prepare, but the Zhou family said that Zhuo Yan was hoarding, if there was really snow, Zhuo Yan would definitely sell it at a high price like selling mushrooms.
Hearing the Zhou family say this kind of thing, some people in the village believe it and some don't.
There are also some girls who have a good relationship with Zhuo Yan, and they told Zhuo Yan this in private, and Zhuo Yan just smiled slightly and was not angry after hearing it.
The reason why she didn't send the forage to everyone so early was because everyone didn't need it now, and secondly, because there was so much forage, and if there was no suitable place to store it, it would be rotted by rain and snow.
Zhuo Yan had considered the storage of forage before, so she built a forage shed next to the livestock shed, lined the ground with wood, and built a shelter on top to ensure the safe storage of forage.
In Zhuo Yan's mind, the forage is placed here by herself, which is the same as putting it in the big guy's house, and the people's hearts are back, and they have to let time and facts speak, so she is not in a hurry to justify.
Zhuo Yan is not in a hurry, but some people are in a hurry.
Zhou Qiaoli has been in Xiliu Camp for a week, nominally to take care of her uncle and aunt, but in fact, she is here to work against Zhuo Yan.
Chu Xingchen was the first man who made Zhou Qiaoli tempted, and Zhou Qiaoli had already secretly decided in her heart that she would not marry, but Chu Xingchen treated Zhou Qiaoli no different from other comrades, and never treated her as a woman.
Originally, Zhou Qiaoli thought that Chu Xingchen was this kind of person with a cold personality, but it wasn't until she met Zhuo Yan that she understood why Chu Xingchen treated herself like that, it turned out that Chu Xingchen had already taken a fancy to Zhuo Yan.
Zhou Qiaoli was not stupid, she quickly thought of a way to make Chu Xingchen change her mind, she didn't run to Chu Xingchen to say bad things about Zhuo Yan, she had to find a way to make the big guys say bad things about Zhuo Yan, so that Chu Xingchen would naturally know the trade-offs and re-judge.
Who knew that Zhou Qiaoli had lived in the village for a week and spread rumors for a week, but this rumor did not disappear silently like a spring breeze on the shore as she imagined, but like a drop of water thrown into the sea.
This is because Zhuo Yan's mass foundation in Xiliuying is too good, and she has done a lot of practical things for the people in the village.
Zhuo Yan collects mushrooms and vegetables in the village, everyone in the village has earned a lot of pocket money, in previous years, the children's school tuition, everyone has to work hard to raise, this year the family money is ready-made, speaking of this, from adults to children, which one is not grateful to Zhuo Yan?
Therefore, when I heard someone spreading bad words about Zhuo Yan, most of them didn't listen to it or believe it, and a very few people with a sense of justice had to stand up and reprimand them.
Zhou Qiaoli was busy working in vain, not only did she not ruin Zhuo Yan's reputation, but she ruined her own reputation, everyone thought she was troublesome, and Sandezi had to glare at her every time she saw Zhou Qiaoli.
This made Zhou Qiaoli very frustrated, and after thinking about it, she came up with a poisonous plan.
That is to set fire to the forage.
Zhou Qiaoli herself does not believe that Zhuo Yan will donate forage, which is not surprising, narrow-minded people will never think that others have a generous heart when they look at others.
She could have waited and let time prove her words, but unfortunately Zhou Qiaoli couldn't wait, she needed to confirm this rumor.
Zhou Qiaoli wanted to take a look, if the people in the village were really short of forage, and Zhuo Yan didn't donate, how bad would her reputation be?
