At this time, two peregrine falcons discovered the presence of their owners. They fluttered their wings and flew out of the woods, landing gently on the ground in front of them, and their mouths let out a cry of joy.

Originally, there was a peregrine falcon in the space, and once after this guy flew out, he brought back a peregrine falcon.

What made Wang Manyin feel amazing was that the new peregrine falcon didn't seem to be too afraid of him.

Wang Manyin tentatively raised a wooden stick in his hand and successfully put this guy into the space.

Soon after, the two peregrine falcons nested and laid their eggs in a large tree in space, and successfully hatched the chicks.

Wang Manyin is worried that too many peregrine falcons will destroy the ecological balance in the space. So when the young birds will fly away from the nest, he sets a trap with food, introduces the little ones into the cage, and releases them deep into the forest.

These young falcons have been living in space for a long time, and when they first come to the outside world, they can't find their way home, so they have to live alone.

So far, Wang Manyin has released dozens of peregrine falcons, which can be regarded as making his own contribution to the biodiversity of the Loess Plateau.

As for the hairy civet...... For the first few years, the little one lived alone in the space, occasionally appearing to steal food.

This guy has always been afraid of Wang Manyin, and every time he sees a human appearing, he will quickly hide in the grass and disappear, never approaching.

Until one day, Wang Manyin suddenly discovered that the stored grain had not been stolen for a long time.

He felt that something was wrong, so he took Rhubarb and searched around the space.

As a result, Rhubarb found a cave and kept sniffing at the edge.

Wang Manyin faintly guessed that after living in the space for a few years, the hairy civet may have died quietly in the underground cave.

For this reason, he is still a little sad.

Thinking about things in his heart, Wang Manyin stepped to the edge of a ditch, and saw a few big crabs in the water with teeth and claws quickly retracted into the hole, leaving a turbid stream.

Not far away, there are more small fish and shrimp burrowing into the aquatic weeds.

After ten years of development, the number of fish species raised in the pond has increased. Almost all the freshwater fish of the north can be found here.

In particular, the few crabs that Wang Manyin put in at the beginning have now become flooded.

He had planned to put some into the Dongla River, but later decided that it would make holes and easily affect the earthen dam.

Even so, there are still native crabs in the Dongla River, and occasionally someone will catch one or two, but it is not on a large scale.

Wang Manyin caught crabs from the river, raised them in a crockpot at home, and secretly took out some of the ones in the space. So after a period of time, your family can also eat braised crab once.

In addition to crabs, there are more loaches, yellow eels, crucian carp and so on...... Now the people of the Loess Plateau on both sides of the strait have become accustomed to eating fish, and it is rare to hear of anyone who has been stuck in the throat by a fish bone.

Especially the new generation of broken babies, it seems that they are completely adapted to the fact that there are fish in the water. They are not as surprised as their parents are when they see fish.

It is even natural to think that "where there is water, there are fish".

In this regard, Wang Manyin feels that he has made a certain contribution.

Crossing the canal, he walked to the place where the poultry were raised.

In ten years, the native chickens, pheasants and wild ducks in the space do not know how much stubble has been changed. However, the number has not grown, and it has always maintained a scale of about 50.

For Wang Manyin, it is enough to eat at home.

Wild duck pheasants have been domesticated for several generations and are fully adapted to human existence. Now that Wang Manyin appeared on the edge of the pit, they were still calm and would not burrow into the grass to hide.

After pouring a bucket of water into the homemade poultry drinker in the earthen pit and sprinkling some grain, Wang Manyin went to the scorpion pond to check.

In ten years, this scorpion pond provided Wang Manyin with at least 4,000 yuan of income, which can be said to have made a great contribution.

After scanning around the scorpion pool, Wang Manyin walked to the end of the space.

Here, it is still an empty yellow earth.

The space has been growing slowly, and now covers an area of more than twenty acres. With Wang Manyin's personal strength, it is impossible to develop and utilize all the land.

So the grass and trees in his current office grow freely......

After inspecting it, Wang Manyin returned with rhubarb.

When he got home and saw Orchid and a few children, he had a heartfelt smile on his face.

When he first crossed into this world, Wang Manyin's heart was full of trepidation, and he once thought that space belonged to his most important thing.

Now for him, family is the most important thing, and space is just a transfer.

And winter is coming soon, and spring is already quietly coming. I should create a better life for my family.

***

Taking advantage of the good weather a year ago, Wang Manyin borrowed a hand-held tractor from the team, and after breakfast, he went straight to Mijia Town along the road.

The three children wanted to go to the market with them, but they were reprimanded by him and pouted and stayed at home to watch the door.

Wang Manyin did not go to sell fish, but wanted to go to the mine to buy some coal for his own use.

In recent years, there are also production teams near Mijia Town that have started fish farming. The procurement channels of Shikema Coal Mine have increased, the price of fresh fish has been declining, and Wang Manyin and Li Ping have gradually broken off contact.

Mijia Town originally belonged to the famous "water and dry wharf", connecting the grassland to the north, and the Yellow River not far to the west, and the neighboring provinces can be directly reached by ferry, and the geographical transportation advantage is very obvious.

Therefore, after the situation was liberalized, the Mijia Town Market became more lively.

When Wang Manyin arrived outside the town, he saw a large group of Loess Plateau people walking on various dirt roads not far away. Especially near the entrance of the town, it was crowded with people, and noisy sounds came to the face. From afar, it looks like countless ants are wriggling towards the nest.

Some vendors' stalls are set up directly on both sides of the road outside the town.

This level of liveliness is at least ten times that of the Shibijie Commune, and it is not inferior even to the original western county seat. Wang Manyin roughly estimated that at least tens of thousands of people would come to Mijia Town to catch the market today.

He had originally planned to go around the town and buy some rare things for a few broken babies. As soon as he saw the situation in front of him, he immediately retreated.

Wang Manyin was afraid that after he drove the walk-behind tractor in, he would never be able to get out again.

In fact, there is everything at the own consignment point, and it is completely unnecessary to go so far to buy snacks.

There are dry stoves for sale on the roadside, which is also a feature of Mijia Town. He simply paid for a dozen to take home.

Then, Wang Manyin went straight to the coal mine sales point.

Around noon, he was already driving back in his walk-behind tractor. The carriage contained half a cart of coal, plus a few snakeskin bags of raw sunflower seeds.

Wang Manyin has never liked procrastination, so he just does what he says. Since I decided to start a speculation business, I naturally plan to try it during the Chinese New Year to see how it works.

When he got home, he began to busily put the raw melon seeds into the water basin and pour in the prepared five-spice condiments.

Soon, a sign was hung at the door of the consignment point: selling spiced melon seeds, one pound and one dollar.

After the twenty-third day of the lunar month, all families in the jar village became busy.

However, now the sewing department has not yet taken a holiday, and Orchid needs to go to work every day. Things outside the home can only be busy with Wang Manyin with his three children.

Clean up the fieldside, clean the cave, paste the window flowers of the New Year's paintings, spread the beige, and steam the bean buns...... It's not a big deal, but it's a bits and pieces that you have to be busy every day.

"If you have money or not, you can't celebrate the New Year"

Taking advantage of the good weather a year ago, Wang Manyin took the two boys to the market to shave their heads.

Boys don't need to do any hair styling, and they don't need to go to Hu Delu's barber shop, just find a shaving booth on the street.

A few days before the Chinese New Year, Wang Lianshun began to notify all families to participate in the year-end accounts meeting in the team. This year, the situation of the second team is still very good, and the daily labor score has set a new record, reaching one.

The largest number of people were divided into more than 500 pieces.

Wang Manyin's family is relatively small, less than a hundred. For them, it doesn't matter.

You don't need to inquire to know that the daily labor score of the second team of Jar Village must be ranked first in Yuanxi County. However, compared to the pimple in the Northeast, it is still slightly inferior.

As early as a few years ago, Shang Zhimin mentioned that many production teams in Northeast China have a daily labor score of more than one piece, and the highest can even have a piece of eight.

Of course, within the scope of the original West County, the second team of Jar Village is still the only one.

This is also the last glory of the production team.

With the complete launch of the package production to households next year, the big pot rice that has been maintained in Jar Village for more than 20 years will also be disbanded. The next days will depend on the ability of each family.

After the dividends, Wang Manyin's consignment point became lively again.

Now the sales of self-fried spiced melon seeds are very hot, and they are recognized by everyone, and they can sell hundreds of catties a day. Even the members of the Shibi Festival Brigade came to buy it after tasting it.

Seeing this, Wang Manyin finally had some confidence.

When he was busy frying melon seeds, several children in the family began to officially take over the consignment point. The little apricot follows the orchid, and he is good at math since he was a child, and he is also quick in accounting, and he looks like a little adult.

In just a few days a year ago, Wang Manyin's family sold nearly 400 catties of spiced melon seeds.

Except for coal and condiments, the other costs are negligible. After calculating it, he earned almost 300 yuan, and the profit was absolutely subparable.

It wasn't until the twenty-ninth of the lunar month that the sewing store finally had a holiday. When Orchid returned, she brought back a new set of clothes for everyone in the family, and the children couldn't keep their mouths shut.

On the evening of the thirtieth day, after the family paid homage to the gods of heaven and earth, they stayed in the cave to have a reunion dinner.

The dumplings are stuffed with pork radish...... Wang Manyin cut two catties of meat to make the filling, and the taste was naturally different.

Half the size of the child, eat the dead old man.

When the three children were able to eat, the first pot of dumplings came out of the pot, Wang Manyin and Orchid had just filled half a bowl, and the rest was divided into clean lights. It wasn't until the second pot that the two of them were full.

After eating dumplings, the family sat in the cave and ate melon seeds, listening to the radio, and seemed happy.

But within two minutes, the three guys started fighting again.

During the Chinese New Year, Wang Manyin and Orchid didn't want to reprimand the children, so they simply let them make trouble, and they just ate after dinner.

In the middle of the night, with the sound of firecrackers, the new year has arrived.

Hearing the sound, Shi hurriedly got up to pick up firecrackers, even Xiao Xingzi and Wang Tao were no exception.

Now there is nothing fun to do during the Chinese New Year, and picking up firecrackers is one of the few pleasures for children. Wang Manyin didn't intend to stop it, but just told the three of them to pay attention to safety and not to rush to fight.

The firecrackers of this era were all handmade, and the lead was loosely braided, and the small firecrackers could easily fall off when fired.

Moreover, there are many impurities in the soil and gunpowder placed in the cannon core, and the power is not great after the explosion, so it will be heard. In fact, even if you blow up the firecracker in your hand, at most you will only feel numb in your palms, and it will not hurt. Many firecrackers are also not tightly sealed, and they will only come to a flower.

If it was replaced by a machine-made cannon in later generations, Wang Manyin would definitely not dare to let the three children pick it up.

After the firecrackers were set off in their house, they ran towards the village with other children.

Wang Manyin continued to go back to the house and hugged her aunt to sleep until she got up to cook at dawn.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, you can't carry water, so you have to let the well rest for a day, so yesterday Wang Manyin filled the two water tanks.

Breakfast is simple, there are still a lot of dumplings left from last night, just boil water and put a pot on it.

When the water was about to boil, the three little ones finally returned, each pocket full of small firecrackers.

The orchid began to make dumplings, and Wang Manyin continued to add firewood.

At this point, the stone began to crouch on the edge of the field. He peeled off the firecracker paper he had just picked up one by one, and poured the gunpowder inside into the canned bottle, intending to keep it for later play slowly.

In a short time, the gunpowder was filled with a small half-can.

Wang Manyin and his family were about to call the children to eat when they heard an exclamation outside.

Then, Wang Tao cried and complained: "Mom, Mom, my brother beat me!?" ”

Wang Manyin was a little speechless: On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a few guys didn't let them have an easy day.

"And why?"

He reluctantly walked out the door, and saw a cloud of smoke floating over the field.

"He should be beaten, I was stripping gunpowder, Wang Tao secretly lit a stick of incense and inserted it into a glass bottle, and lit all my gunpowder at once...... White smoke is so high! ”

"What!?" Wang Manyin was startled and hurriedly rushed over to look at the two.

"Are you alright?"

Only then did he know what that smoke was all about.

"It's okay, it's okay, I turned my head when I saw him put the incense into the bottle!" Wang Lei hurriedly replied.

Thankfully, the incense burned this morning was definitely burned to God!

Wang Manyin carefully inspected the bodies of the two little guys before he was completely relieved.

Immediately, it provoked another fire.

If it weren't for today's first day of the Lunar New Year, he would have beaten up his youngest son.

This guy is not at all worried.

Fortunately, the canned bottle was not sealed, otherwise once it exploded, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if there was no explosion, the smoke of the fire would not be good on the eldest son's face.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Orchid listened to the movement outside, and also went out to ask.

When her husband finished speaking, she turned pale with a stupid face.

Coming back to her senses, Orchid suppressed her anger and advised: "From today onwards, the three of you are not allowed to play with firecrackers." I see who plays again, doesn't talk much, and hits directly with a broom! ”

The first day of the new year was auspicious, and she didn't want to beat her two children.

Otherwise, it would have been a long time ago to twist the ears.

After eating the dumplings, the three children urged the New Year's money. In previous years, Wang Manyin and the others were afraid of revealing their wealth, so they pressed the New Year's money for the children with the general trend in the village, and it was a dime each time.

Of course, the idle money in the hands of the members of the jar village has increased, and the market for New Year's money is also growing.

This year, his family has also been upgraded, five cents per person.

In fact, it is useless for the three children to press the New Year's money, and there is no shortage of snacks at home.

However, if you pay attention to auspiciousness, you still have to give it.
