As the Chinese New Year approaches, the village becomes lively. Those who work outside have gone home for the New Year. There are also many liquor companies in the village. Firecrackers can be heard every day. This is the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year.

However, my parents had already called back and said that they would not be coming back for the New Year this year. My dad said that during the Chinese New Year, there is three times the salary for overtime, and the round-trip fare for the family is several thousand, which is really not cost-effective. I'm actually used to it. There will be all kinds of excuses in the year. Maybe all I'm looking forward to is what kind of tricks they'll have this year.

Grandpa was angry: "If you don't come back, you won't come back." We've got it ourselves!"

My grandfather dragged me out of the village party secretary's house and smoked non-stop along the way. When he walked home, he threw away the cigarette butts: "Yangyang, it's not easy for parents to make money outside." Back and forth, you have to buy tickets for at least three people, and the round trip is more than 2,000 fast. I can't stay at home for a few days. It's really not a good deal. Tomorrow I will take you out into the street to buy a new outfit and some food. We've had a lively year. ”

"Grandpa, let's go sell the chickens, ducks and geese. Wait for next year's spring, buy more chickens and ducks and come back to feed. A few of these chickens are left to lay eggs. We also eat one or two during the Chinese New Year. "I know that my grandfather spent all the money last time, and he was a little tight on hand, and he definitely didn't have the money for the New Year's goods.

Grandpa nodded: "It's still our Yangyang who is capable." The chickens, ducks and geese all grow so well that none of them have been broken. Those three flower pigs, you still have to feed them?"

The three pigs are all sows, and I plan to let them have cubs, and then the family will not have to buy piglets to feed the pigs.

"Let's use them all to give birth. This pig has a good constitution. The cubs born in the future will certainly be very good as well. I said.

"Well, that's fine. Just feed it. However, these three flower pigs are so big, and the amount of food every day is getting bigger and bigger, and it is not easy for you to pull pigweed in the future. Grandpa said worriedly.

"Our family has so much land that we can't eat all the rice we grow, so in the future, we can simply use the two paddy fields on the slope of the door to grow corn for the two paddy fields that can't be put in water. Grow a little more sweet potatoes. In this way, the pigs are fed without having to feed too much hogweed. And we have grown so many turnips that they can now be used to feed the pigs as well. If it doesn't work, I'll let them out and let them find food on their own. "I've been thinking about these things for a long time.

Grandpa touched the back of my head: "Our family Yangyang is really sensible." ”

Including the sent, there are twenty-three chickens, twenty-three ducks, and eleven geese. Chickens and ducks are three or four catties each, and geese are six or seven catties each. It would take several days to sell them all.

Bringing nearly twenty chickens at a time, it was impossible to pick it up with grandpa with his shoulders and crush it to death. But I have a way, I still fix the frame on Lao Huang's back and put the chicken in the frame. Then he led Lao Huang to the town.

In these days, it was still rare to carry things on the street with oxen to sell.

"Old man, how can your cattle be trained so well. Can you still bring something to carry it?" there are always people who like to ask along the way.

"My grandson trains it a lot and slowly gets used to it. My cattle are also bold and not afraid of people. Don't go crazy. Grandpa said proudly.

During the Chinese New Year, the bus that picked up people in the village carried so many goods that people didn't like it. Grandpa and I didn't have to spend so much money to get on a car. It's just over an hour's walk to town. It's still a little warmer to walk.

Lao Huang performed very well, and when he walked halfway, I rewarded him with a piece of vitality. Lao Huang immediately ran forward happily.

The chickens we feed are also big hearts, constantly bumping inside, and they are even quiet, and sometimes they look out in amazement. The chickens, ducks and geese raised at home are different from those raised by the people in the village, and they are very smart. But I can't just keep them and not sell them. My grandfather and I spent half a year on the money, all from them.

When I arrived in the town, although it was very crowded, as soon as others saw me leading a scalper over, they immediately got out of the way, and other people's cars kept screaming, and no one necessarily gave way. It's not the same. My old Huang stared, as if he was going to give a hoof to the people who blocked his way at any time, did they dare not let him? Have you ever heard of looking for a car to touch porcelain, have you ever heard of looking for a cow to touch porcelain?

When I arrived at the trading market, my grandfather and I came a little late, and we didn't get a good position, so we had to stand in a relatively remote place. Grandpa asked me to keep it and went to inquire about the market. After a while, he came back and said to me happily, "Today's market is good." Local chickens like ours are all 8 yuan a catty. ”

"Then we'll sell it for ten dollars. I said.

"Huh?" Grandpa was taken aback.

"You don't see that our chickens look better than other people's chickens. It's definitely a little more expensive than others. And our chickens have never been fed feed, they all grow up eating insects. It's definitely much better than other people's feed chickens. "I've noticed a long time ago that the chickens in the village are 108,000 miles away from ours when compared to ours. Grandpa's chickens came to the town to sell a few days ago, and they bought nine yuan a catty. Our chickens sell for 10 yuan a catty, which is a bit cheaper. It's just that the people in the town can't see it.

"Uncle, how do you sell chickens?" Sure enough, someone soon saw our chickens. The main reason is that Lao Huang is more eye-catching.

"Ten dollars a pound. "I'll be the first to speak. I'm afraid that my grandfather won't dare to ask for a high price. 、

"Children, don't talk nonsense, everyone else in the market is eight yuan a catty, and a cheaper seven yuan can also be bought. "The man thought I was a child, and I couldn't count.

"My chickens are different from other people's chickens. Someone else's family has been fed. Our chickens are completely free-range and have never been fed. If you look at the feathers and eyes of our chickens, they are better looking than those chickens. The feathers on his body are neat and shiny. The most important thing is to look at the eyes of the chickens, is they more energetic than other people's chickens?" I asked.

"Hey, you're not easy. Does this chicken really sell for ten yuan a catty?" the man still looked at my grandfather suspiciously.

Grandpa originally had no confidence, but when he heard me say this, he gritted his teeth: "Ten yuan a catty, a lot of money." ”

"If you want to buy the New Year, you can buy the best. You look at the rooster, how bright are the feathers, and you grab it and scream, if you use it as a sacrifice, it's the best. Last summer, I caught 20 chickens here, and the boss gave me three additional heads, all of which were quite a lot, and I had never been sick or fed medicine. Usually feed some pigweed mixed with rice bran, mainly relying on it to go out to catch insects and eat. This chicken definitely tastes twice as good as the average domestic chicken. Ten yuan a catty, you buy a chicken, at most it costs a few more dollars. It's definitely worth it. "I'm getting into shape.

"Uncle, how old is your grandson? It's amazing, and it's definitely going to be a business material in the future. The man happily bought two chickens. I paid the money and praised me a few words before leaving.

Grandpa was happy to hear others compliment me, and he was all smiles on his face. He didn't expect that I would actually sell my own chicken for ten yuan a catty.

opened, and business did better. With that uncle taking the lead, others think that our chickens are indeed different. What sells well is not necessarily the cheapest, but it needs to be recognized by others. When everyone thinks your stuff is good, even if it's a little expensive, it's acceptable.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen chickens were all sold. Sold for more than six hundred. Almost earned back the capital that grandpa bought chickens, ducks, geese, and piglets, and grandpa was very happy. I went to the bazaar and cut a few catties of meat and prepared to make a few pieces of bacon. In addition, I bought some New Year's goods. Anyway, I have to sell ducks and geese, and some items can be bought later.

Over the next two days, ten geese and twenty ducks were sold. It was sold for more than a thousand dollars. Grandpa and I were overjoyed. My grandfather took me to town to buy a new outfit and a new pair of shoes. Originally, my grandfather didn't want to buy clothes for himself, but at my insistence, my grandfather also bought a suit of clothes and went to a shoe store to order a pair of leather shoes. In total, it cost less than five hundred dollars.

Originally, my grandfather was going to wait for the beginning of spring before buying chickens and ducks to raise them at home. But I saw that the chickens, ducks, and piglets in the market were selling cheaply, so I bought them back. This time I bought thirty chicks and thirty ducklings. Another five piglets were bought. A male black pig was deliberately selected, and the rest were flower pigs.

In this way, there is not much money left to buy these chickens and ducks, but my grandfather and I are not worried, we eat everything we grow at home, and we don't have much to spend. My grandfather gave me fifty dollars and told me to buy what I wanted to buy. Naturally, I was reluctant to use it, so I secretly tucked it into a book and hid it under my pillow.

When I was twenty-nine, my grandfather and I drained the pond of water, and everyone in the village came to help.

Uncle Thirteen came back when he was twenty years old, and he came over to help on this day.

"Second uncle. There are a lot of fish in the pond. How did you feed such a big one?" said Uncle Thirteen with a smile.

"You have to ask Yangyang, this fish is all cut by Yangyang every day. Didn't feed anything either. Maybe it's because the fish pond has been abandoned for a long time, and the water is fertile. Grandpa laughed.

The grandfather couldn't stop laughing when he heard it: "This statement is fresh." I'm dozens of years old, and I've never heard anyone say that fish farming depends on water and fertilizer. But Yang Yang is really a lucky star. Your chickens, ducks and geese are all raised so well, I heard that they are sold for thousands of dollars. The fish in this pond can be sold for a lot of money. ”
