After the excitement, he came back to his senses, and no matter how anxious he was, he was ready to go home from school and tell Shumei his thoughts.

In order to better understand whether the method is feasible or not, he also asked the old woman: "Mother-in-law, this chicken needs to eat a lot of food, right?" ”

The old woman smiled and replied, "Isn't it?" How can you lay such a big egg without eating some food? ”

"Isn't it easier to exchange grain for money than eggs? Why go around such a big circle, it's hard and thankless. ”

"Hey, hey! People don't look big, but they're ghostly. I can't lose it, the grain can be exchanged for a few dollars, and the chickens are so big that they can't eat too much food. ”

"I see!" Xiao Youchen nodded in response clearly, and fell into deep thought again.

The old woman's words made him more convinced that his idea must be right, and he must be able to help Shumei solve the problem in front of him.

In the evening of this day, Shumei stood on the ridge again, looking at Tian Fa, who was plagued by trees and bamboo forests on three sides, and felt uncomfortable.

Don't expect any good harvest in such a field, it is estimated that you will not even be able to harvest public grain, let alone fill your stomach.

The jade slab factory occupies such a large part of the land, but it receives such a negligible compensation, which does not help the family's life at all.

For so many years, she worked day and night to maintain the life of her family, but many times she still couldn't make ends meet, so she had to reach out and ask for a loan, and after a long time, she owed a lot of debts in the village. Now that she has such a piece of land, she can't grow anything, and she is worried about how to sustain her life in the future.

She was worried about a sore head, depressed all day long, and sighed. Although she was reluctant to tell her children about her difficulties, the smart little Youchen still saw that she had something on her mind.

She was standing by her field in front of the door in a daze when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Mom, do you have something on your mind?" Xiao Youchen came back from school, looked at her from a distance and frowned at the gate of the hospital, walked behind her, and asked with concern.

"I didn't ...... No...... Youchen, why do you ask that? Youchen asked suddenly, which caught Shumei a little off guard for a while, and she asked Xiao Youchen rhetorically.

"Ever since the redistribution of the fields, have you been frowning because of this land that is blocked on three sides by the shade of trees?"

"Youchen, you! It's really a little roundworm in my mother's belly, and you can see through my thoughts. Ay! I was a little worried, they were bullying our orphans and widows, and we were so lucky that the worst field in the village was caught by our family. I can't grow anything in this land at all, I'm worried......" Shumei's face was full of frustration, she was really uncomfortable in her heart, and she couldn't help but talk to Xiao Youchen about her thoughts.

"Worried that we don't have food to cover our stomachs and have no food to pay to the public?" Xiao Youchen took Shumei's words and finished what she didn't finish.

Shumei looked at the sensible Xiao Youchen and nodded helplessly at him.

Xiao Youchen squatted on the ridge of the field and looked at the field where even the grass was half a cut shorter than the grass in other people's fields. His mind was spinning again, he wanted to think of a plan for Shumei, he didn't want to sit still like this, and he was hesitating to say what he thought at the moment.

It is absolutely impossible to grow crops according to normal practices, so what can be used to replace crops, so that they can wrap their stomachs and pay public food.

Xiao Youchen looked at the flock of chickens leisurely looking for food in the field, and he made up his mind that raising chickens must be the best way to replace crops in front of him.

So, he jumped up and shouted: "Mom, since we can't grow food, then we don't grow food, we raise chickens, and then the chickens lay eggs, and then we take the eggs to the town to exchange money, so that we have living expenses and money to pay public food." Mom, do you think my idea is feasible? ”

Shumei looked at Youchen with an excited face, lowered her eyes, and thought carefully for a moment, "Do you mean to open a chicken farm?" ”

"Yes, yes, this place is shaded by trees on three sides, warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very suitable for hens to settle down, we just need to build a simple farm house."

"You are not without a road, but the construction of a chicken farm and the purchase of chicken seedlings require a lot of money, 10,000 steps back, even if we make up enough money to build a chicken farm and buy chicken seedlings in the early stage, it may not be able to proceed normally. Because before the hen lays eggs, a large amount of food is needed to feed, not to mention the death and injury, even the expenses required during the transition period of these months are not small, and there is no guarantee that the chickens will be profitable when they lay eggs. ”

Although Youchen was only a twelve-year-old child, Shumei listened carefully to his advice and did a comprehensive analysis.

At this moment, Youchen is not a child in her eyes, but a friend who can share her troubles.

"Mom, I've thought about this, but isn't it risky to do anything? Even if you grow crops, you may encounter natural and man-made disasters. Listen to me, let's take a gamble. It was so difficult before, didn't we all come through it? Even if it doesn't work, it's a big deal to be a little harder and harder. But if we succeed, we can live a good life and pay off all the debts we have been carrying. ”

Youchen is very confident, although he is telling Shumei to gamble, in fact, he already has the mentality that he will succeed.

"This ......" Shumei's face was full of embarrassment, this is not a trivial matter, she can't make up her mind for a while, "Let me think about it again......"

Xiao Youchen pondered for a moment, and said to Shumei with a smile: "Mom, if you really can't make up your mind, then why don't you ask Dad." Perhaps, he can give you the right guidance? ”

His words woke Shumei up, "That's right! How could I not have thought of it! Your dad used to run a grain store, so he should be better able to judge the pros and cons of this. That...... I'll be there tomorrow to settle things before you start school. ”

"Hmmm! Mom, I believe in you, nothing will stump you. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the gloom on Shumei's face completely dispersed.

On the second day, Shumei went to visit Boyi and told Boyi the idea of opening a chicken farm.

In the visiting room of the town prison, Shumei and Bo Yi looked at each other affectionately. Although this is not a place to talk about love, it does not affect the two from complaining to each other.

"Shumei, I think this idea is good, but I can't come out to help you, if I really support you to do it, won't it make you more tired?" The smile on Bo Yi's face disappeared in an instant, and while he was pleasantly surprised, he was more worried that Shumei's body would not be able to bear it.

"Then you think this method is feasible, don't you?" Shumei was a little excited.

"Yes...... is feasible...... It's ......"

"It's feasible, I'll find a way to do the rest, don't worry, as long as you think it's right, I will do my best to do it well." If you can really make more money, you can make the children's lives better. ”

"Shumei, it's really hard for you."

"It's okay, I'm not bitter, isn't it a good thing that there is hope for life?"

"That'...... What about money? Do you have the money on hand? ”

"Money! Like water in a bubble, there will always be a squeeze. Shumei showed an unnatural expression on her face, she was not afraid of suffering, she was not afraid of being tired, but this money was really a problem, and she really had no spare money to toss for her.

"In this way, if the money is really not enough, I will write a letter to my sister, you go and ask them to borrow a little, they have lived a comfortable life in the past two years, and they should not not borrow. If you really don't want to talk to your sister, then take the house as a mortgage and find a personal guarantee to borrow some money from the foundation. ”

"Can you really get a loan?" Shumei was a little surprised.

"It should be possible, I also heard from my fellow inmates, if you really need it, try it."

"Okay, don't worry, there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid that if there are people with a heart, I will definitely be able to build a chicken farm and do my best to let the children live a good life."

"Okay, I'll try to behave well and try to come out to help you sooner. Excluding the holidays and commutations, it should be another year or two, and I can get out. I still owe you a wedding, and I will pay you back when the time comes. ”

The two were still unsatisfied, but unfortunately the time for the prison visit had arrived, and under the urging of the guarding police, Bo Yi reluctantly followed the guarding police away.

"Bo Yi, you can renovate with peace of mind, and I will come to see you another day."

"Hmmm! Go back! Be careful on the road, take good care of yourself, don't be reluctant to eat and wear......" Bo Yi walked to the door, and turned back to tell Shumei. The guards urged him, and he reluctantly left.

A few days later, with the support and persuasion of Xiao Youchen and Bo Yi, Shumei finally made up her mind and prepared to turn the fields that could not grow food into small chicken farms.

According to Boyi's proposal, she found Wen Dazui as a guarantor and used her house to borrow money from the foundation. Wen Dazui has a custodian, and he is still a relatively reliable guarantor, and the loan is easy to get borrowed.

The problem of money was solved, everything was solved, she said to do it, and found someone to build a fiberglass tile greenhouse with ventilation on all sides. I went to find someone to weld the high cage for raising chickens, and I did it in a hurry.

Of course, her avant-garde behavior has also caused a lot of criticism, and no one believes that she can really do such an earth-shattering thing by herself, so most people cast sarcastic eyes.

She has already contacted the chicken factory, paid a deposit, and when the factory is built, she will go to pull the chicken back. Every day she divides herself into two halves for use, and while she goes outside to buy it, she also has to supervise the work. She also counted and counted the little money in hand, and spent all the money on the blade.

Although the process was bumpy, she was still happy when she looked at the chicken farm that was about to be completed.

Seeing that the chicken farm can be completed, she is full of a sense of accomplishment. One day, she cooked some mung bean soup to reward the workers who were responsible for building the house.

She smiled and carried the cauldron out of the house, and shouted to the busy workers: "The masters have worked hard, this is a hot day, I cooked some mung bean soup for everyone to relieve the heat." ”

She put the mung bean soup in the pot into a bowl and personally served it to the workers, "Come, master, drink a little." ”

The masters didn't speak, smiled and took the soup bowl, raised their heads and poured it into their stomachs.
