For breakfast, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and by the time the banquet was over, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

"Xiangqin, you go and rest, this bowl of chopsticks or something, Xiaoru and I can clean it up." Sending off the guests, looking at the mess of cups and plates at these tables, Zhang's mother said with pity for her.

"Mom, I'm not too tired, I'll help you get it together, and it's faster." Chen Xiangqin said, and had already poured all the remaining meals into a basin with her hands and feet, and stacked the dishes and chopsticks together by the way.

Mother Zhang saw that she was working so neatly, and she didn't say anything, but she was more satisfied with this daughter-in-law in her heart.

"Mom, are you going to feed this dish to the pigs?" After Chen Xiangqin cleaned the dishes and chopsticks, she picked up the pot of leftovers and asked in a loud voice.

"If you feed the pig like this, the pig won't be full, so I will add some wheat bran and bean seed material and stir it. The pigsty smells too big and it's dirty, you give it to me, don't feed it. Mother Zhang hurriedly took the basin from her hand.

The pig raised by the Zhang family is a sow, which has been successfully inoculated and is about to give birth.

Sows can give birth, they can give birth to a dozen little piglets at a time, raise these little piglets a little bigger, each can be sold for seven or eight yuan, these dozens, if they can be fed, then there will be hundreds of yuan income!

Wait until the Chinese New Year, kill the sow, keep the meat you eat, and then sell the meat, and you can earn more than 100 yuan.

Piglets plus pork, that's a lot of income!

As the main source of income for the family, Mother Zhang attaches great importance to it, and it is absolutely full, and the pigsty is also cleaned very diligently.

"Mom, don't you use warm water when you mix pig food?" Chen Xiangqin saw that her mother-in-law scooped a spoonful of cold water and was about to pour it into the basin, so she immediately stopped her.

"I've always used cold water, pigs don't pick their mouths, they eat everything. Where is it so particular about using warm water! Mother Zhang smiled and waved her hand, "Your family doesn't raise pigs, so it's normal to not know." ”

Chen Xiangqin did not directly refute her mother-in-law's words, but smiled and said, "Mom, my family does not raise pigs. However, I know an uncle who is in the animal husbandry station, and he once said, this feed pigs, if the pig food is warm, it will eat a lot, and it will be easy to digest. Just like us, no one likes to eat cold rice. This pig is also a truth. ”

"And this kind of talk?!" Zhang's mother didn't believe it.

"Mom, our pigs have given birth, and they should have eaten more. Lately, is it eating very little? Chen Xiangqin walked to the pigsty in the backyard, looked at the pig's trough, and saw that there was still half of the food left.

"Huh, how do you know?! That's really the case, I have less to eat, I've been worried in the past two days, and I see that I'm going to give birth, so why don't I eat it. When the little piglet is born, I don't know how many will live. Mother Zhang frowned worriedly.

"Mom, you try what I said, mix the pig food with warm water, and I'll get the remaining pig food out of this trough first." Chen Xiangqin said, as soon as she rolled up her sleeves, she was about to dry.

"It's so dirty. I'll get it. But he didn't think about it, Zhang Chenyi, who was standing on the side and was silent, stepped forward and pulled Chen Xiangqin back.

Chen Xiangqin stood behind him and tugged at his clothes, because her waist was exposed, and there were marks of her scratching on it.

It's so unsightly!!

"Alright. Xiao Yi, have you cleaned it up? Zhang's mother came over with a basin, and when she saw her son and daughter-in-law sticking together, she couldn't help but sigh that the relationship between the newly married couple was different.

"Mom. All right. Zhang Chenyi straightened up and glanced at Chen Xiangqin behind him.

Pouring the new pig food into the pig trough, Mother Zhang called the sow a few times, knocked on the trough again, and after a while, the sow dragged her bulky body slowly over.

"Oops. This pig food has been eaten! This is the first time! After a while, after seeing that the pig had eaten everything, Mother Zhang slapped her thigh excitedly, laughed and shouted loudly.

Chen Xiangqin was infected by her emotions, and she also smiled, and she also thought that it was super happy that this sow could finish the food.

Perhaps, this is ordinary life, a small thing that can make you happy.

"He is worthy of being a cultural person." Mother Zhang praised Chen Xiangqin with a smile, "I've been feeding pigs for a few years, and I don't know as much as you do." ”

"Mom, it's starting to get cold. We don't have anything in this pigsty, and it's too cold. This little piglet is born not frost-resistant, it will die. Chen Xiangqin said again.

"This pigsty is so big, it can't be fenced off like our house. There is nothing to be done about the cold spots, but to get more wheat straw. Mother Zhang sighed.

"I have an easy solution. Let's take a few bamboo poles and insert them on both sides, then bend them into an arc, tie them up to form a shelf, and then lay plastic film on them to keep warm. In winter, there can be fifteen or sixteen degrees in this pigsty. Chen Xiangqin said while gesturing, a pair of beautiful eyes were bright and dazzling, and there was a firm confidence in them, which made her whole person seem to be glowing.

"Is that really going to work?!" Zhang's mother felt that it was very simple, they didn't lack bamboo at all, there was a bundle at home, and there was also a ready-made plastic film, which didn't cost anything.

If that works, that's amazing!

"It works. Mom, why don't we try it now? Chen Xiangqin said eagerly.
