After dinner, Fang Xuerou didn't ask Ximenglan to help clean up the table, because the old lady lived with them, and Ximenglan didn't stay long, while the sky was still bright, the two of them walked back.

Along the tree-lined path, there is a small river next to it, the water is not deep but also crystal clear, there are no fish, only a few mayflies scurrying around.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the surface of the river, and it was indescribably refreshing, and I had never seen such a scene before.

"In the past, I always felt that the countryside was dirty and messy, and I had never been here or even wanted to come, but now I look at it, it's also quite good, the air is fresh, and the scenery is beautiful."

Simalan stopped, sat on the stone by the river, looked at the scenery in front of her, and looked a little intoxicated.

"I've never been here either."

Kou Juncheng stood beside her, his hand on Ximenglan's shoulder, his voice calm, and his eyes were attracted by the scenery in front of him.

"In the end, it's because I'm shallow and prejudiced against the mountain village."

Xi Menglan smiled lightly, looked at the sunset and whispered.

"I'm starting to like it here."

Xi Menglan looked up at Kou Juncheng and said briskly, got up and stood up, and looked at Kou Juncheng affectionately.

"I love the people and the view."

"People?"

When Kou Juncheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows, looked at Ximenglan and asked.

Xi Menglan nodded, did not speak, put her foot on Kou Juncheng's lips and put a kiss, turned around and walked back along the path.

Kou Juncheng was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, Xi Menglan had walked out more than a dozen steps and hurriedly chased after him.

"How did you plan the pig farming?"

Grabbing Ximenglan's hand, ten fingers interlocked, the two of them walked slowly and leisurely, thinking of what she said during the day, they looked at her and asked.

"I just have such a plan in my heart, and I haven't raised a pig before, so I really don't know if I can do it."

Xi Menglan understands in her heart that it is not easy to raise pigs, she has been reaching out for her coat since she was a child, and she has opened her mouth for food, and she has lived the life of a young lady, she has never worked, and she has never even raised a cat.

"Groping for a raise."

Kou Juncheng looked at Ximenglan, his eyes full of support.

"What if you can't feed it?"

"If you can't feed it, eat meat."

“……”

Listening to Kou Juncheng's words, Xi Menglan couldn't hold back for a moment and laughed.

"How big is a pig that eats meat, that big?"

Xi Menglan smiled and raised her hand to gestur, Kou Juncheng looked at Xi Menglan and smiled happily, and laughed along.

"What are you two talking about, so happy?"

The people of the village came up to them, watched the two of them laugh at each other, and came over to chat a few words.

Xi Menglan and Kou Juncheng followed a few simple greetings, and they didn't stay long and went back to their homes.

The square courtyard, the courtyard wall is made of stone, the door made of wooden slats is quite strong, there is nothing in the courtyard except for a vegetable garden on the east side, and the donkey cart is placed in Kou Mingcheng's house.

"Let's build a pigsty here."

Xi Menglan looked at the west and there was a very empty place in the vegetable garden, walked to that position, turned to look at Kou Juncheng and said.

"A pigsty, a chicken pen, we have to raise more, and there will be a lot of meat to eat at the end of the year."

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, as if she saw a big fat pig lying in front of her.

"When the time comes, let's do it together, ask the second uncle to call over to help, and the two of us can prepare some wine and food."

Kou Juncheng's second uncle Kou Zhenge is a bricklayer, building bricks and walls is his strength on weekdays, ten miles and eight villages are famous, he is honest and honest, he doesn't talk so much, and anyone is willing to ask him for help when he has a problem.

"If the second uncle comes, you can have good wine and good food to prepare."

When Xi Menglan heard Kou Juncheng mention the second uncle, the stone in her heart could be regarded as settled.

Back in the room, the two of them looked at the remaining food stamps and meat stamps, and took out some of them to exchange for fine grains, and most of the rest for coarse grains.

"These few sheets tomorrow you go to the grain depot to exchange for some white rice and white noodles, the second uncle will work for us, we can't wait slowly, and this."

Xi Menglan took out a meat ticket and handed it to Kou Juncheng, handing it to him as well.

"What about the rest of the food stamps, the grain depot is so far away, I'll exchange them all for a trip."

Kou Juncheng pointed to the food stamps she was holding in her hand, and asked with a puzzled face.

"I've got a good idea of this."

Simonlan counted the food stamps, took out a notebook and a pencil, wrote on them a few times, and then frowned.

"There are still fifty catties of grain, I want to exchange twenty catties of fine grain for a little piglet, and then ten catties of fine grain stamps for a few chickens, and the remaining twenty catties of fine grain stamps We will all exchange coarse grain stamps, so that fine grain for coarse grain, we can still have twenty catties of grain, and when the time comes, how about we also eat coarse grains after polishing?"

Xi Menglan said as she wrote in her notebook, raised her head and looked at Kou Juncheng and asked.

Kou Juncheng looked at Xi Menglan's serious face, and he felt a little unbearable in his heart.

"You want to eat whole grains?"

"What's wrong with coarse grains, it's not that I haven't eaten them."

Xi Menglan thought that when she was at home before, she was a picky eater all day long, she didn't like to eat, and she didn't cherish food, so her grandmother often nagged herself and made coarse grains for herself to eat, which was delicious.

"Grandma made it for me, and I will do it too, can you eat it then?"

Xi Menglan looked at Kou Juncheng and felt a little puzzled, after all, this is all modern, and they are all delicate and expensive, and they have not suffered much, if they really eat coarse grains, I am afraid that he will not be able to stand it.

"Of course I'm fine."

Kou Juncheng patted his shoulder, looked at Xi Menglan and said confidently.

"When the time comes, there will be grain to feed the pigs, and we can also strengthen our bodies by eating coarse grains, why not, now people are not advocating eating coarse grains."

Xi Menglan muttered to herself, lowered her head and carefully calculated in the notebook, felt that there was no big problem, got up and drank water, thinking about raising pigs.

"By the way, when there is a commune to eat a big pot of rice, there will be social change soon, we have to hurry up and get rich before this time, and we can't be dragged down."

Ximonlan's history is a mess, but she also knows that there were several turbulent times in the fifties and sixties, and it seems that she did not let her own poultry be raised.

"It's not there yet."

Kou Juncheng patted Xi Menglan's head and gave her a reassuring look.

"When the time comes, we will strive to farm well, don't be involved, don't be criticized, actively follow everyone to live that time, and then cross the times to become well-off, after all, the two of us can't tamper with this history."

Xi Menglan drank half a teapot of water, although she was very arrogant on the surface, she still had the concept of right and wrong in her heart, she knew what to do and what not to do.

If the course of that era is moved, it will affect the fate of many people, which is absolutely not good!
