Chapter 64: Happy to be a nanny
Mother Xu spoke slowly, and every sentence was explaining Xia Qingqing's work.
In her eyes, Xia Qingqing was able to marry Xu Chenghai because of Gao Pan, and it was also appropriate to do some housework to take care of Xu Chenghai.
Xia's mother on the side frowned, she was supple by nature, she didn't want to watch her daughter suffer, and when she was about to speak, she was stopped by Xia Qingqing.
Xia Qingqing looked at Mother Xu and was very serious: "Auntie, don't worry, it is my blessing to be able to take care of Brother Chenghai, and I can't ask for it." ”
Xia Mu's face was much more ugly, she grabbed the bag in her hand, and felt uncomfortable.
If she had been far away, she would not have agreed to these conditions.
As soon as this thought popped into Xia Mu's mind, she quickly pressed it.
Qingqing is her biological daughter, and she wants to protect her daughter instead of thinking of Xia Yao again.
What Xia Mu thought in her heart, Xia Qingqing didn't know anything.
After she found out that everything was going well with Mother Xu, Mother Xu's attitude towards herself eased a lot, and after she found out this, she flattered Mother Xu even more.
No matter what Mother Xu says, she will respond to it in one bite.
It's just to help Xu Chenghai do laundry, cook, and take care of her daily life, which is what she should do, it's too late for her to be happy, how could she refuse?
Mother Xu saw that Xia Qingqing sincerely thought so, and her face looked much better, she served Director Xu and Xu Chenghai in the Xu family like this, and she would not think that it was inappropriate to do so.
The two discussed it very well, and Mother Xu had already taken off the bracelet on her wrist and handed it to Xia Qingqing: "This is the heirloom that our Xu family gave to their daughter-in-law, you can accept it quickly." ”
Xia Qingqing didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, and the whole person was stunned.
After a while, she carefully took the bracelet under the signal of Father Xia.
"Thank you, aunt......"
"Do you still call me aunt?" Mother Xu laughed, "It's time to change your words!" ”
Xia Qingqing's face turned red, and she hurriedly shouted: "Mom! ”
This one she shouted sincerely.
Mother Xu was very happy and beckoned everyone to the table.
Xia Qingqing sat next to Xu Chenghai first, and without waiting for Aunt Chen's action, she took the lead in standing up and serving dinner to Xu's mother, the director of Xu, then Xu Chenghai, and finally Xia's father and Xia's mother.
Father Xia couldn't see any other emotions on his face, but Mother Xia's face was not very good-looking.
She is not a person who can hide her thoughts, so she can only lower her head and suppress the discomfort in her heart.
No one in the Xu family moved, but Xia Qingqing was greeting, picking fish for Director Xu, pouring tea for Xu's mother, and peeling shrimp for Xu Chenghai.
Obviously, Aunt Chen is still on the side, but Xia Qingqing is more like a nanny.
Xia Mu's face was pale, and she grabbed the chopsticks so that she didn't let herself lose her temper.
The temperature in Liuxian County plummeted, and the big guys took out their cotton clothes.
But in a small room of the Qingshui Brigade, it was as warm as spring.
Aunt Osmanthus and Aunt Niu stared at the chicks in the incubator with serious faces, frowning and discussing.
"According to Xia Zhiqing's words, these chicks can be released, right?"
"I see that their feathers are all grown, and if they don't release them, this incubator won't be enough."
The incubator is a new object that Xia Yao came up with, before they bought more than 1,000 chicken seedlings, who knew that a cold wind blew over and more than 200 died.
The temperature plummeted, and the chicks simply couldn't survive.
Xia Yao thought of this method, and asked the people in the village to work overtime to make several big wooden boxes, weave them into a net with bamboo, and then put them all into a room, and the charcoal fire in the house warmed the whole house.
Seeing that more than ten days have passed, the chickens have grown decent, and it is time to release them.
- The main reason is that the brigade has no money to buy carbon.
Aunt Osmanthus and Aunt Niu are good at raising chickens in the Qingshui Brigade, and after discussing it, the two decided this matter.
"Xia Zhiqing, these chickens can be put on the chicken farm." When Aunt Niu spoke, she was still a little apprehensive.
She is a village woman who can't read big words, is this decision right?
Aunt Niu clenched her hands and waited nervously for Xia Yao's answer.
To her surprise, Xia Yao nodded: "Okay, since you have made a decision, aunts, then let's put the chickens in the chicken farm." ”
"It's been so many days since the chicken farm was built, it's time for the chickens to live in."
Xia Yao's words made Aunt Niu breathe a sigh of relief.
But she was blown by the cold wind, and she became nervous again: "But this weather ...... I'm afraid some chicks still can't stand it. ”
"What's this?" Xia Yao's eyes widened, "We bought so many chicken seedlings because we knew that there would be a lot of chicken seedlings that would not survive." ”
"Auntie, don't worry, as long as there are 500 chickens left in these thousand chicks, we will make money!" Xia Yao gave Aunt Niu a shot of heart booster, "Besides, the weather won't be cold for long, you have lived in the Qingshui Brigade longer than me, you should know that in a few days, it will be warm again, and at that time, what we should worry about is to cool down the chicken farm." ”
Aunt Niu sighed: "Raising a chicken is more delicate than raising a child, you have to add charcoal fire when it's cold, and you have to think about cooling them down when it's hot." ”
"But you have to think that raising chickens can make us money!" Aunt Osmanthus waved her hand, "If it was as simple as raising chickens, then the textile factory would not sign a contract with us." ”
"yes!" Xia Yao smiled and agreed, "Aunt Osmanthus is right, Aunt Niu, don't worry, our brigade has an expert in raising chickens like you, and we will definitely be able to raise chickens well!" ”
Aunt Niu smiled bitterly, but Xia Yao's eyes were too firm, which made her embarrassed to say what she thought in her heart.
So she nodded: "Xia Zhiqing, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations." ”
Aunt Niu and Aunt Osmanthus as one of the technicians, take twice as much work as ordinary breeders, and when the time comes, they can get a lot of money when they wait until the end of the year to pay dividends!
For this money, she also has to take care of these chickens carefully!
"You leave this matter to me and Osmanthus, you can rest assured!" Aunt Niu patted her chest and reassured.
Xia Yao nodded hurriedly: "Of course I believe in you." ”
"It's just ......" Xia Yao winked at the two of them and lowered his voice, "The chicken farm of our brigade is related to the livelihood of the entire brigade, auntie, you must abide by the rules and regulations." ”
As she spoke, she glanced at Aunt Niu's hand.
Being stared at by Xia Yao, Aunt Niu was uncomfortable, and suddenly remembered something.
The rules and regulations that Xia Yao and the captain studied a few days ago were as detailed as what shoes they had to wear when they entered the chicken farm, and down to washing their hands several times.
And when she first entered the insulation room, she didn't wash her hands!
Aunt Niu's face turned pale.
Xia Yao's voice was gentle but could not be refused: "Auntie, according to the regulations, you entered the chicken area without washing your hands, and today's work will be gone, do you have no opinion?" ”
Aunt Niu waved her hand: "No comment." ”
Although she felt sorry for her work, she also knew that there were no rules, and Xia Yao did this for the good of the entire team.
It's just that......
Aunt Niu looked around and lowered her voice: "That is, your aunt and I are easy to talk to, otherwise, just you, a young man, can't control other people!" ”
"Especially the seniors in the village." Aunt Niu frowned when she mentioned this, "It's not easy to deal with!" ”
Hearing this, Xia Yao clasped his hands around his chest and snorted at the office of the brigade cadres on the side: "Aunt Niu, who do you think is that?" ”
Aunt Osmanthus saw the old man sitting in the office before Aunt Niu - "Isn't that the second master and the third master?" ”
Every family in the Qingshui Brigade has a close or distant relationship, and Uncle Tuesday and Uncle Wednesday are the elders of the villagers of the entire Qingshui Brigade.
In a place like the Qingshui Brigade with a strong clan concept, what Uncle Tuesday said to Uncle Wednesday is more effective than the law.
Aunt Osmanthus glanced at Xia Yao strangely: "You actually invited these two to move, and you are not afraid that others will not follow the rules in the future." ”
"It's not me, it's Captain Zhou." Xia Yao hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't have such a big face." ”
She just had an idea.
What Aunt Niu said, she had already taken into account.
Chickens are the most susceptible to sick poultry, a little careless, the chickens of the entire chicken farm can not be spared, hygiene must be done well, this must not be a mistake.
And she thought of the two Buddhas in the brigade.
I didn't expect the second uncle to talk to the third master very well, as soon as I heard that it was to contribute to the team, and I could also manage the juniors, neither of them thought about it carefully, and agreed in one bite.
Even Captain Zhou didn't expect this matter to go so smoothly.
Thinking of this, Xia Yao's smile became even brighter.
Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!
At the same time, Lu Jing and Captain Zhou sat on the ox cart and slowly advanced towards the entrance of the village.
Captain Zhou's face couldn't hide his joy, but at the same time, there was a distress in his eyes.
"We've spent a lot of money on these medicines." Captain Zhou muttered, "You must let Xia Zhiqing make good use of it, you can't waste it!" ”
A few small cans of medicine are even more expensive than chicken seedlings!
When he thought of paying, Captain Zhou's heart tugged.
But he quickly thought of the countless money in the future, smiled at Lu Jing, and said happily: "I didn't expect your kid to marry such a good daughter-in-law!" That's great! ”
Whose daughter-in-law can be like Xia Yao and lead the entire team to get rich?
Whenever Captain Zhou thinks of this, his heart is full of joy.
Lu Jing caught a glimpse of him smiling with a wrinkled face, but he didn't interrupt him out of a voice.
"It's almost there." Lu Jing said lightly, "These medicinal materials are delicate, Uncle Zhou, you have to take care of them." ”
As soon as he heard this, Captain Zhou immediately grabbed the sack.
