"No, no, it's just that you look so good in it, I'm reluctant to let people see it, you just wear it to us in the space as usual!" Xu Zhongjun said sweetly.
"Of course not, I made those clothes myself, I don't know if anyone outside wears something similar, and I'm afraid that it will not affect me well. But this dress was bought in a department store, and it can be worn out, so it's a pity that such a beautiful dress can only be worn in space. Isn't it good for everyone to know that you have a beautiful daughter-in-law, and they all envy you? Xie Xiaonian said proudly.
"Okay, okay, you have the final say, but when you can wear a coat in the spring, your belly should be big, right?" Xu Zhongjun said treacherously.
"Huh!" The smile on Xie Xiaonian's face froze suddenly, maybe she really won't be able to wear it when the time comes.
Xie Xiaonian looked at Xu Zhongjun's smug eyes, and said arrogantly: "I can't wear it this year, I can wear it next year and the year after, anyway, there will always be a day when I can wear it." ”
Now it's Xu Zhongjun's turn to have nothing to say, but even if Xu Zhongjun says anything, Xie Xiaonian will not waver.
"Mom looks the best when she wears it, and Mom wears it every day when the time comes." Pancake said sweetly.
"Mm-hmm, mom is the prettiest." Peace also nodded in agreement.
"Just you two little devils have sweet mouths, and your mother will wear them to you every day." Xie Xiaonian said happily.
After finishing speaking, Xie Xiaonian also glanced at Xu Zhongjun proudly, as if to say, "Look, the two children are facing me." ”
For the occasional childish daughter-in-law, Xu Zhongjun could only smile helplessly.
In the following days, Xie Xiaonian returned to his previous life, but the time to learn embroidery with the master was much shorter, and he only needed to go once every two days.
Xie Xiaonian has less time to go to the master's house, and the happiest person is Chen Xiuhong, after all, Xiao Nian will have time to accompany her in the future.
"Xiao Nian, do you want me to raise a sheep too, and when the child is born, I can give him goat milk."
That night, when several people were gathering at Xie Xiaonian's house to chat, Chen Xiuhong saw Xie Xiaonian cooking goat's milk for the children, so she said.
"Goat milk is best drunk after the child is two years old, your child has not been born yet, it is too early to raise sheep, it is better to wait for the child to be a little older and then raise." Xie Xiaonian came up with an idea.
"Is there so much emphasis on drinking goat's milk? Some of the children in our village have no milk and have been drinking goat's milk since they were born, but they have all grown up well. Zhang Chunping said disappreciatively.
"That's because the child's mother has no milk, and the family can't afford milk powder, so in order to survive, she has to give her child goat milk and milk. However, it is not that babies must not drink goat milk, but it is best to avoid it as much as possible, after all, if the child is too young, drinking fresh goat milk will burden the child's kidneys, and it is not conducive to the absorption of calcium. Xie Xiaonian explained.
"And that said? If you don't say that I really don't know, then I won't raise it now, and I'll talk about it when the child grows up. Chen Xiuhong nodded and said.
"You don't raise it, my family is going to raise one this year, you don't know, every time I see Xiao Nian's child grow so well, I am envious, thinking that my little granddaughter can also grow white and fat. It just so happens that my father-in-law often needs some goat's milk to replenish his body, so I thought I must raise one this year. Zhu Yufang, who was already familiar with everyone, said with a smile.
"My goat milk can't be used up, so don't raise it, it's a waste if you have more." Xie Xiaonian continued.
"It's not just for Huanhuan and my father-in-law to drink, I think that since goat milk is good for the body, let the family drink it from time to time, drinking goat milk is better than taking medicine when you are sick. Now that the weather is slowly getting warmer, and the mountains are starting to green, the cost of raising a sheep is still very low, and the family can afford it. Xiao Nian, where did you buy your sheep, I will also buy one and come back. Zhu Yufang continued.
"This sheep was not bought by Xiao Nian, it was hunted by Xiao Nian in the mountains. Usually domestic sheep, a year at most seven or eight months of milk, and when the lamb grows up and does not drink milk, there will be no more milk, but Xiao Nian's sheep, since the hunt back has been producing milk, I helped raise it during the New Year, and it has not stopped, but I can only meet the good sheep that cannot be found. Zhang Chunping praised.
And her unintentional praise also woke up Xie Xiaonian, Xie Xiaonian really forgot about the milk production of this ordinary sheep before, this sheep has been caught for more than 9 months now, and it is a little suspicious to keep producing milk.
Xie Xiaonian hadn't discovered before that the space well water still had the effect of allowing sheep to produce milk all the time.
Fortunately, this sheep was caught by Xiao Nian on the pretext that it was caught from the mountains, and it was not a sheep raised at home that was usually bought, or he didn't know what excuse to use to cover up the past.
"Yes, this is hunting in the mountains, it may be different from the domestic sheep breed, and the domestic sheep are also lambs that grow up, and after they no longer drink milk, the ewes will slowly stop producing milk, this sheep, even if the lamb does not drink milk, I am milking it often, probably because of this, it has been milking." Xie Xiaonian calmly continued.
"That's how it should be!" Chen Xiuhong didn't understand it, but what Xiao Nian said was so reasonable, she believed it.
"It may be that the time has come, I found that the recent milk production of this sheep is not as good as before, the sheep is the first male, and there is no way to get pregnant and give birth to lambs to produce milk, sister-in-law Yufang, if you buy a sheep, take advantage of it to bring me a milk-producing ewe, so that there is no goat milk at home after this sheep does not give milk." Xie Xiaonian continued.
"Okay, I'm not busy anyway, if I have time, I'll go to a few nearby brigades to ask if they sell it, if it's okay, I'll bring you one back when the time comes." Zhu Yufang replied briskly.
"Some sheep grow up and don't need to feed the ewes, the production team should be able to sell them, after all, the old ewes are not as cost-effective as the lambs!" Wu Shuqin analyzed.
"Yes, and it will be relatively cheaper to buy it directly from the production team. At that time, you can also ask if there is such a goat, this breed has a lot of milk production. Zhang Chunping echoed.
"Goats should be difficult to find, after all, the production team raises sheep mainly for mutton, goats are too thin, it is not cost-effective to raise, no one should want to raise." Chen Meixia also answered.
"It's okay, I can't find a goat, just an ordinary domestic sheep, as long as it can produce milk, maybe I can give birth to a litter of lambs in the future, then I don't have to worry!" Zhu Yufang said with a smile.
Although the sheep don't eat much, and they all eat some grass that can be cut in the mountains, which is relatively easy to obtain, Wu Shuqin, Zhang Chunping and others are all people who have to go to work, and they don't have time to raise them at all.
The two children of Chen Meixia's family hate the smell of milk, so except for Xiao Nian and Zhu Yufang, no one else plans to raise sheep.
Even though the pancakes are now thin and Huanhuan is fat, the contrast between the two is still strong, so in less than ten days, Zhu Yufang brought back two ordinary ewes that were still producing milk from the neighboring production team.
After Zhang Chunping's words last time, Xie Xiaonian gradually stopped feeding the goats with the grass and well water in the space, so that the goats slowly reduced their milk production, saving a long time and arousing the suspicion of others.
And the sheep brought back by Yufang's sister-in-law was just right to pick it up.
"Sister-in-law Yufang, I still have a lot of hay for sheep at home, and I can't use it up anyway, so you can go to my house and pick it up later." After Xie Xiaonian took the rope that tied the sheep, he said to Zhu Yufang.
"Okay, I'm worried about what to feed the grass on the mountain before it grows!" Zhu Yufang was also polite, and responded with a smile.
"Come to my house at any time when you're done eating, I have a lot of hay to prepare, enough to feed for a month!" And the wild vegetables and weeds on the mountain, wait for about a month and a half, and then you can feed the sheep.
Xiao Nian gave Yufang's sister-in-law hay, on the one hand, thinking that her family should have nothing to feed the sheep, and on the other hand, it was also to prevent the gap between the two sheep in the early stage from being too big and arousing the suspicion of others.
As for the difference in the later stage, it is a problem of everyone's breeding technology, she can grow vegetables so well, raise sheep well, and can also say the past.
After the new sheep was settled, and the day was in mid-February, Xie Xiaonian was now more than three months pregnant, the fetus was stable, and Xu Zhongjun also allowed her to go to the mountains to walk around.
However, now the small animals in the mountains are breeding, and Xiao Nian's family is not short of that bit of food, so they don't want to hunt too much now, so as not to be powerless in the future, so they focus on raising rabbits, chickens and other poultry.
Before, Yufang's sister-in-law was busy taking care of the elderly and children, and she didn't raise rabbits, but this year, Uncle Liu's illness was a little better, and Zhu Yufang followed Xie Xiaonian and started to raise them.
"Meat, meat." Huanhuan looked at the little rabbit brought back by her grandmother and said drooling.
"The rabbit is still so young, I want to eat meat, you are greedy, in the future, you will help grandma raise rabbits well, and when the rabbit grows up, grandma will give you meat, okay?" Zhu Yufang said funny.
"Mm-hmm, eat meat." Huanhuan nodded happily and said.
And Xie Xiaonian on the side sighed again, the children at this time are really different from the later generations.
This year, Xie Xiaonian's family not only has to take care of the vegetable garden, but also plant vegetables on the land in the yard.
So on Sunday, when Dabao and Chen Chu were resting, they came to Xie Xiaonian's house to help.
"The ground in the vegetable garden is almost plowed, so you can dig up the ground in the yard."
After coming to the courtyard, Xie Xiaonian unceremoniously instructed Xu Zhongjun and the three of them.
"Okay, second sister, I promise to finish it for you in a while." Xie Dabao assured happily.
When Xie Xiaonian saw the master's house just a fence away, and Liu Wu and his family were also busy planting vegetables in the yard, he knew why Dabao was so happy and showed himself so actively.
