Chapter Eighty-Five: It's Raining
As for the last years... That's really survival for the sake of survival. Whoever has a hard fist and finds more materials will live longer. Therefore, the so-called sophistication of human feelings requires social experience.
Fang Shi could see it clearly from the side, but she didn't say anything. Through this period of time, Fang has already figured out that this person is a thoughtful and thoughtful person. However, everyone has their own way of behaving in the world, and Brother Meng has no intention of harming them, but his own personality is like this, and there is nothing to criticize others.
"Are you done with your county? Still need to go? ”
Chen Shenzhong saw that his nephew and uncle had finished speaking, and asked beside him.
"Not going! I haven't been there lately! ”
What else to go, she can't avoid the limelight just after the trouble?
"That's good, a lot of the traps we dug can't be used, they are filled with soil, and we have to find a new place to dig them. It's still too slow to raise it yourself, and you can't eat meat if you want to. ”
The child can't eat meat casually recently, and his stomach is not adaptable, so he whispered to the tench.
"That's it, sister, the meat is gone." Erni also answered next to her.
"Okay, it's late today, I'll go get meat tomorrow."
Not to mention the children in the family, even the tench has been hungry for meat recently. Otherwise, there was still so much grain hanging on her, and she would have run into the mountains to hunt meat and eat it.
Because there is no meat at home, in addition to the steamed multigrain steamed buns for lunch, it is a cold cucumber, a plate of leek eggs, and then the same is spicy fried pickles.
After lunch, the tench went to see the chicken seedlings, and after a few months, the chicken seedlings had already grown into half-sized chickens, and more than 200 of them were all kept alone in cages, and now the conditions in the mountains are not allowed. A few people discussed raising half of it in a separate cage as an experiment to see if the tench method could raise the broiler chicken she said; Half of the covered chickens are kept in chicken pens.
The valley was not too big, but four small courtyards were built on the east side to occupy half of the side, and the west side reached the base of the mountain, and everything except the stream was cleared out to grow grain. Therefore, chickens cannot be free-range, otherwise the food will not be guaranteed.
The chicken pen is built on the north side of the hill, and the pigsty and rabbit pen are downstream of the stream to the south, so that there is no delay in water use, and it is easy to clean it close to the stream.
Fang's is a clean-loving person, if she hadn't picked manure for more than a year, she wouldn't have been accustomed to the taste, and she wouldn't have raised pigs. Nowadays, it is also cleaned every day, but it doesn't smell too much.
In the middle of the afternoon, it was time to go out of the mountain, only Ding Yu and his brother-in-law, as well as the surname Meng, went together, and Erni took Sanni to stay with Fang's mother and son.
Before leaving, the tench asked Erni if she was lonely if there was no one to play in the mountains? You know, this little Nizi is a gossip king, but when she was at home, she took Sanni to the village and collected gossip everywhere. Hearing that she had lived in the mountains for several days before she had returned, and that she was going to live again, the tench couldn't help but ask her sister.
"Wow, how old am I to just think about playing! We have planted so much land and raised so many poultry, I can't wait to grow in the field every day, and how can I have time to go to the village. ”
Well, my sister suddenly became even more reliable than her.
The next day, the tench, which had been going to do a big job, didn't do anything, and was suddenly blocked in the house by the rain.
"This year's rain is not heavy, and it is rare for it to fall so much, it can be regarded as watering the ground."
I got up early and saw that the sky was cloudy today, and the air was dull, but I didn't expect that she would be drenched in the middle of the way when she walked into the valley. However, she also agreed with Fang's statement. There has been little rain since last autumn, and there are only two light snowfalls in winter, and it won't be like that until the next day. It was also dry in the spring, meaning that there were a few light rains, I thought it was going to be dry this year, but I didn't expect it to fall today, and it was so big.
"What's it called? This is called a lazy donkey grinding and urine! Okay, it's a waste today, I'm going to change into dry clothes and see what else can be done! ”
The tench twisted the water on his clothes and walked towards the east room.
The front of the house has three rooms, the Fang family lives in the west, and the east side was originally a study, they only cleaned up this small courtyard, and the master planned to clean up the east partition, and when the tench and her sisters came, they lived on one side, and on the other side, Chen Shenzhong lived with his brother-in-law.
When I went inside, I saw Sanni waking up in a daze, looking at the roof with wide eyes, and saw the tench with her little hands open for the tench to hug, and shouted vaguely, "Sister... Sister..."
"Ah, wake up! Wait for me for a while, wait for the eldest sister to change her clothes and come back to hug you. ”
Xiao Sanni has been ten months, and she can already call people vaguely, and she can stand with things, but she can't walk yet.
Ding Yu changed into the dry clothes left here, put on Sanni's clothes again, and carried her out to sit at the door to watch the continuous rain outside.
Originally, the tench thought that it would stop for a while, but I didn't expect that the rain would continue to be big and small, and it would rain for two days and one night before it turned into a drizzle.
Trapped in the mountains for two days, even if the rain is light, there is stagnant water and dew everywhere, and he can't do his work when he goes out.
A rain fills the crops and grows, and the weeds in the field grow with it. The village is busy again, beckoning everyone to go into the crops to pull weeds and loosen the soil, in short, the rural people can't finish the work every day.
In the mountains, Erni took Sanni to follow Fang's to collect weeds in the field every day, while the tench and Chen Shenzhong were looking for a new place to dig traps. Time is not busy, and it is June Flowing Fire.
During this period, there were two more litters of rabbits in the rabbit pen, and the chickens and pigs were slowly growing up. The loose cage for semi-large chickens is narrow because the chickens are getting bigger and bigger.
"Is that really going to work? Will I get sick because I can't move? ”
Fang's has always supported the chicken raising method of tench, she is also a knowledgeable person, she has heard that the chickens raised abroad are very large, and even seen the kind of chicken called turkey, and the local chicken does have more meat and thicker. Although she doesn't know how people raise them abroad, she is willing to try.
She never knew that she also had a desire for discovery and adventure in her conformist life creed!
These chickens were all bought with money, and they were all fed little by little with food and effort, although they had to be prepared to fail if they took the risk of trying, but at this time, the Fang clan was also apprehensive.
"It's okay, it's a big deal to become a plague chicken, but I don't have energy."
After June, July, and August, they finally reached harvest time.
