Chapter 12 Loans 3
They were classmates in primary school, and Zhao Guanghua's grades in elementary school were also very good, and the two basically took turns to win the first and second, and the relationship was a little delicate at that time. Although everyone doesn't admit defeat in their hearts and wants to win the first, they actually get along well, because Zhao Guanghua is the squad leader and she is a member of the study committee.
It's just that after junior high school, Zhao Guanghua's grades gradually deteriorated.
Their generation, and in the countryside, learned English very late, and only opened English classes in junior high school, Zhao Guanghua couldn't learn English well anyway, and he could only get 20 or 30 points in each test.
There was also physics and chemistry, which he also studied very hard, barely passing.
In the first semester, Lu Xiaoqing was divided into the top class and the ordinary class, and Zhao Guanghua was unsurprisingly divided into the ordinary class, and since then the intersection has gradually decreased.
Later, due to family economic reasons, Zhao Guanghua stopped studying after graduating from junior high school. I heard that I went out to work for a few years, and when I came back last year, the income from my part-time job, plus I borrowed some money to buy this car, and I have been driving the car to help people transport goods, and my life is gradually getting better and better.
Zhao Guanghua has always been a flexible and intelligent person, and he will live a better life than others, and Lu Xiaoqing is not surprised at all.
For this classmate who has been compared with him by his parents and people in the village since he was a child, even if he hasn't seen him for many years, Lu Xiaoqing's feelings about him are still different from those for others.
She found that she didn't even remember the names of many of her elementary school classmates in other villages, but she still remembered many things about Zhao Guanghua clearly.
When I was a child, my initial impression was always so deeply engraved in my heart, as if it were imprinted. It doesn't mean anything, but it's a very deep past.
But Zhao Guanghua would take the initiative to lend her money, which she still didn't expect. There was some unexpected warmth in my heart.
"Mom!" Lu Xiaoqing entered the house with a smile.
Lu's mother's eyes lit up, and she looked at her with a "hey" voice: "Is the loan done?" β
Lu Xiaoqing sighed softly and shook her head: "Not yet." β
"Alas!" The light that had just lit up in Lu's mother's eyes dimmed again: "Look at you smiling like that, I still think of it." β
Lu Xiaoqing was stunned, and couldn't help laughing: "Mom, don't worry, I'll figure it out." β
Although it didn't work out, there was no despair, life was not all gloomy, there were always some people or things that made people feel full of hope in their hearts gave us strength and supported us to move forward.
Lu's mother didn't ask more "oh", anyway, she didn't understand, and she didn't understand when she asked, so she pretended to believe her daughter. This child is not easy either, and you can't put too much pressure on her.
"By the way, the fence and bamboo building on the hill behind our house have been made according to your requirements, when will you go to buy chicken seedlings and come back?" We haven't done this before, so why don't we buy less at a time? β
Lu's mother changed the subject.
"I'll go take a look first, in fact, buying about 200 at a time is a lot!" Lu Xiaoqing said with a smile.
Mother Lu sighed lightly and nodded: "Okay, you can do it." β
Lu Xiaoqing knew what she was worried about, and was about to open her mouth to explain, but Lu's mother waved her arm: "You don't need to explain to me, you can do it in your heart, and you can tell you what I can help you do." β
"Okay Mom, thank you Mom!" Lu Xiaoqing smiled heartily and hugged Lu's mother: "Then I'll go up the mountain to have a look!" β
"Go ahead."
Lu Xiaoqing walked the whole circle of high barbed wire fence, which was very strong and sturdy, and the chickens kept in captivity would never be able to fly out, and it was impossible for the chicks to get out from underneath.
She is not afraid that the chickens will run out and lose them, the chickens take care of the family, unless they are caught, they will come back even if they run out at dusk.
She was afraid that she would get sick after walking around and drinking unclean water, and once she was infected, even if she found out that there was a way to treat it, it would definitely cause some losses.
The bamboo building is about one and a half meters above the ground, and is supported by pillars made of blue bricks below.
The two bamboo buildings, one east and one west, are far away from each other, and she plans to change them every year to let the chickens live. This will be more hygienic and easier to disinfect.
The bamboo building is not wide, but it is quite long, and there are many windows, which are opened in the morning and closed in the evening to facilitate ventilation. When designed, it was slightly relaxed according to the scale of more than 300 animals.
This was originally an idle thing to use, and by the way, I didn't expect to rely on this. Of course, it's hard to say in the future, maybe if you have the money, you can contract all this mountain to raise chickens?
The floor is nailed in rows with thick and thin bamboo strips, separated by certain small gaps, through which chicken manure can fall, and the ground will be covered with plant ash or wood chaff for easy cleaning.
Of course, you have to use bamboo mats to enclose the bamboo downstairs, otherwise these chickens will not be dirty, and they will have to shave their heads inappropriately.
There is a row of several layers of chicken coops on one side, which is a place for hens to lay eggs and hatch eggs.
Outside the bamboo building, there are "corridors" that extend nearly one meter on all sides, which can be roosted by chickens.
The roof of the bamboo building is covered with cascading cedar bark, and it can be renovated every two or three years.
Fir bark is a unique product of their hometown, very thick and durable, wind and rain do not invade, every household to build cattle pens pig pens, bathing rooms, toilets, all kinds of sheds in front of the house and behind the house are used fir bark.
In this whole enclosed site, there is a bamboo forest in the north, and other places have been cleared, and about seven or eight acres of empty grassland have been set aside in the middle area, and maples, locust trees, grapefruit trees, persimmon trees and other trees have been planted sparsely in other places, and some shrubs that are not tall or short are left in a circle next to it. At that time, a few crickets of cactus, mint, calamus, wormwood, etc. will be planted, which have the effect of removing mosquitoes, and cactus has a certain effect on preventing chicken plague.
Lu Xiaoqing has also been doing the preparatory work for raising chickens, waiting for the completion of this side to buy chicken seedlings.
After checking inside and out, there was nothing wrong with it, and she discussed with Lu's mother to go to the town to buy chicken seedlings the day after tomorrow.
Almost every household in the village raises chickens, some of which are hatched from the eggs laid by their own hens, and many of them are bought from the town's dealers during the polder's day.
But at most, I will buy twenty or thirty of them, and in the process of raising them to adulthood, there will always be a few deaths. Buying 20 and finally being able to raise 15 is already a thing that can be proudly boasted about when talking about family life.
If you're unlucky, you'll end up with two or three left, or if you're completely wiped out, and the big guys will think it's normal.
After all, no matter how meticulous a person is, he can't stop the accident, and it's very difficult to serve the little chicks and ducklings.
Like Lu Xiaoqing's mother and daughter, they bought 260 at onceβten of them were given away, unprecedented, and when they returned to the village, they attracted many onlookers and amazed.
Everyone is gossiping, talking and sighing, more or less paying attention to an auspicious taboo, even if they are very disapproving and not optimistic in their hearts, they will not say anything like "death" to annoy people.
But there are also people who are different.
