Nongmen eldest sister: Farming and opening shops

Chapter 43
There is no need to ask for help with this little work. After a few days of busy work, the siblings finished it all.

Lin Qingsong walked into the chicken coop that he made by himself, no matter how he looked at it, he found it very novel, never knowing that the chicken coop could be made like this.

The entire chicken coop, which is as tall as a house, is divided into upper and lower floors. The second floor is connected by a bamboo slope, which can be used for chickens to walk up and down.

As for where they landed, it was also a sloping surface. At that time, I was a little puzzled, but later I figured it out. If the chickens lay eggs, they will roll directly along the sloping surface to the outside. When the time comes to pick up the eggs, it will be more convenient. .

Speaking of these, he had to admire, the eldest sister's brain is really good, and she has considered all aspects.

"This chicken coop is really well built. If a family has no money to build a house, it's not bad to build a house like this." Lin Qingsong praised.

"Are you counting as Wang Po selling melons, selling melons, boasting, and pretending that the chicken coop I built is good." Lin Qinghe joked with a smile.

Only now did Lin Qingsong realize that the chicken rings were made by themselves, and they were indeed a bit boastful: "I really think it's good."

"It looks good, but if you build a house like this, it can't withstand the wind and rain. This means that it is connected to the back of our house and there are trees around it. Otherwise, a gust of wind can blow the whole chicken." The lap got scratched."

Besides, this bamboo house can't stand the wind, the sun and the rain, and it won't be long before it breaks down.

"That's true, but I think it's wrong." He only looked at the goodness of the house, and didn't think about whether it was strong. He laughed again: "It's not strong enough to make a house for people to live in, but it's not strong enough to make a chicken." Circles are enough."

He wasn't dissatisfied with making such a chicken ring with his own hands.

The chicken pens were completed, and the fence was also erected. Lin Qingbai and Lin Qingmiao at home also took the time to come and walk around. Looking at such a chicken pen, they couldn't help admiring it.

"If we build such a big house for the chickens, shouldn't we also build a kennel for the dogs?" Lin Qingmiao asked aloud.

"Okay, just build one next to the chicken pen, and let the dog watch over the chicken so that no one can steal it in the middle of the night." Lin Qingsong immediately responded.

Aren't dogs just to keep thieves out? The chickens are the most likely to attract people's attention at home. They are still young and people look down on them. When the chickens grow up, it will be hard to say.

Lin Qingmiao has no objection to this, anyway, the chickens and puppies will be under her care from now on.

"Then shall we put the chicks in the chicken coop now?" She always felt that those chicks were too small now, and it would be more appropriate to keep them under her nose, for example, in the yard of the house first.

"Let's put them here and raise them. They have been raised in this chicken coop since they were young. They will get used to this chicken coop. They will come in by themselves when it gets dark. They will only be released when they grow up. At that time, someone will come to drive them in. Chicken coop." This has to be a habit from an early age.

"The two puppies are also brought here. The kennel doesn't need to be that big, and it can be made soon."

Put the dog here, if there are animals from the mountains running out, or if someone comes over, the dog will bark when it hears the movement. If you hear the dog barking at home, just come out and take a look.

Everyone had no objection to this, but Lin Qingmiao was a child at heart. The chicken was not under her nose, and she was always worried. After a few quarters of an hour, she was going to go to the chicken coop behind the house again. Take a look.

These chicks are still too small, and their range of activities is limited. They only run around in the open space at the gate of the chicken coop, and do not run towards the slope of the back mountain. Presumably, they also know the danger by nature, thinking that there are many trees and bushes over there. , not safe.

“1、2、3、5、10、15、20……”

Lin Qinghe came back from cutting some grass outside, chopped it into pieces, and sprinkled it among the chickens. Turning around, he saw Lin Qingmiao counting the chickens with a serious face.

Can't help being a little funny, and asked: "Have you counted clearly?"

"I was supposed to count them all, but as soon as you scatter grass and smash them in, these chicks rush up and it becomes a mess again." She looked distressed.

Lin Qinghe laughed secretly: "Don't worry, you can count slowly, anyway, your foot is not healed yet, you have to raise it for a few days, and you can't go to other places, or I will move you a stool , count while sitting?"

Lin Qingmiao didn't bother to respond to her, she just raised her fingers and counted the past one by one, with a serious look on her face, which was rare seriousness.

Well, she doesn't have to worry about her bad math in the future, seeing how serious she is, she is already better than many urchins in the village.

She didn't bother her either, she picked up the basket filled with broken grass, turned around and went home.

Now that the chicks are still small, they can eat some broken grass, or find some worms in the grass by themselves, which is easy to feed. When they get bigger, they can add some other food, and then they will grow. faster.

When he reached the gate of the courtyard, he saw Song Chaobei, sweating all over his face, standing at the gate.

"Qinghe, you're back!" He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face, his face was full of smiles.

"Where did you come from, why is it so hot?" Now the weather is getting warmer, but it's not so hot.

"I just came back from the county seat. I haven't seen you for several days. Come here to see if there is anything I need to help."

He came over to help pick the fruit for a few days before, and then went to the city to sell firewood after he was done.

Seeing him like this, Lin Qinghe was silent for a moment, and said: "I just came back from the outside, so you can rest at home if you are so tired. There is nothing we need to help here. Although I am small, I still have strength. .”

"I'm not too tired, but now that the weather is hot, I'm a little impatient." Song Chaobei laughed.

"Would you like to go inside for a rest and have a drink of water?" When someone came to the door with good intentions, she couldn't just drive him away like this, and it was nothing to ask someone to drink a bowl of water.

Song Chaobei was about to agree, when a panting voice came from beside him: "Brother, mother told you to go back, don't delay outside."

Song Chaonan looked at Lin Qinghe with some dissatisfaction. He was also 12 years old, but he had a mother and an elder brother, so he was a bit clueless.

He was having a good time with his friends, but was called by A Niang to call someone home. Would he be happy? His elder brother is not at fault, but Lin Qinghe is the only one who is at fault.

It's just a child who doesn't know anything yet. Lin Qinghe didn't pay much attention to him, but turned to Song Chaobei and said, "My aunt must be looking for you for something, so I won't keep you drinking water."

"What water do you want to drink? Who still lacks a bowl of water? Brother, hurry up, Auntie is still waiting." Song Chaonan took two steps forward, grabbed his arm, turned around and left.

Song Chaobei was a little helpless, he was dragged away by him for two steps, but he turned his head and waved at Lin Qinghe: "I go out every morning, and I will come back when I ring the bell, if you want something, just come and say it. "

What can she do? Lin Qinghe shook his head and watched the two brothers walk away.
