Chapter 50
The embarrassment is definitely not. Jiang Hu carefully explained the process of discussion at the village chief's house, as well as the results.

After Erniang heard it, she felt very distressed: "Every family has to choose, isn't that too many people?"

There is not a lot of manure at home. They dare not water too much of their own crops every time. Sometimes when it rains, they will put some water from the eaves.

Jiang Hu reassured: "It's okay, I didn't say it. In the future, we won't have to go to the river to wash diapers. It will be convenient when Xiaomi Tidan grows up. The big deal is that we can put more water in the eaves now."

Erniang thought about it too, and then thought about it in her heart: "Brother Hu, why don't we buy two little piglets?"

Jiang Hu hesitated: "It's already May, if you buy it at this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to kill it during the Chinese New Year? And we don't know where to buy it now. We bought it back. No, what to feed them?"

There are still weeds and the like in the fields now, which can be fed to the pigs, but in autumn, those weeds will wither.

And their village has not planted sweet potatoes this year. When autumn and winter begin, what will they eat?
Erniang said: "It's a bit late to plant sweet potatoes now, but it's still in time. At most, the sweet potatoes will be smaller in the future, but there will definitely be sweet potato vines."

"Little Piggy, Brother Hu, why don't you ask Shopkeeper Liu?"

"Manager Liu?" Jiang Hu was taken aback, he had never thought of this.

Erniang nodded: "I've been thinking about this for a long time. Don't you often deliver food to Tongfu Restaurant? Shopkeeper Liu is willing to help us hide the price, showing that others are really nice."

"Look at our chickens and rabbits, they all grow very well, especially the chickens. They are more energetic and faster than the chickens in the house before, and so do the rabbits. It must be because of the bugs and weeds in the ground."

"In this case, if the wild grass in our field is used to raise pigs, will it grow faster and better? Moreover, after raising pigs, there will be no shortage of manure. In the future, pigs can also be sold directly to shopkeeper Liu, you How does it look?"

In Er Niang's heart, if there are not many chickens, ducks, geese and pigs in the family, it's not like a home.

Therefore, she has actually been thinking about these things for a long time, but she has never said them.

On weekdays, everything at home, big and small, is directly arranged by Jiang Hu. The second mother is more about working, cooking, and taking care of the children. As for Jiang Hu's arrangement, just do it.

This is the first time Jiang Hu has heard Er Niang express his thoughts.

However, Jiang Hu did not rush to refute, but thought about it seriously, and I have to say that there are some meticulous things at home that are indeed not as careful as women.

After a while, Jiang Hu nodded: "Second Niang, you're right, if you grow crops and don't raise pigs, there's really not enough manure."

"Well, it's better to plant sweet potatoes sooner rather than later. I'll go to town tomorrow. Shopkeeper Liu and their restaurant buy pork every day. There must be a lot of pig farmers and pork sellers I know. Let him inquire for us."

"By the way, let's bring the big rabbit at home. We have used the wild grass and green vegetable sticks in the vegetable garden for so many months. Maybe it is better than the wild rabbit outside. In this case, Manager Liu is even more won't refuse to help us."

After all, there are still seven or eight months left for a pig to be raised from now until the Chinese New Year. All pigs are fed with weeds from their own fields and sweet potato vines watered with their own manure. They must be just as delicious as green vegetables!
At that time, I will sell the raised pigs to Shopkeeper Liu, and the business will be good during the Chinese New Year, and I can also make bacon. I am not afraid that the restaurant will not be able to eat it. Maybe because the pork is delicious, the price can be higher!

The more he thinks about it, the more rational this is. If it wasn't for the time, he would have wanted to go to town right now.

But after calming down a bit, Jiang Hu talked about another topic.

"Second Mother, let's save some more money, wait another two years, and let the big baby go to the town to study?"

Just now at the village chief's house, just because he said he could read and learned from an old master for a while, those people who were still dissatisfied in their hearts suddenly changed a lot.

Even though they didn't speak, Jiang Hu still saw the change in their attitude towards him from the subtle expressions of those people.

Almost instantly, a little arrogance turned into prudence.

This was quite a shock to Jiang Hu, and he suddenly realized that even if a scholar is only able to read and hyphenate words, in the hearts of ordinary people, it is already different.

It's like, back then, the shopkeeper Liu was also surprised when he knew that he recognized the content on the slip and could write his name.

It's just that shopkeeper Liu concealed it faster and better, and it didn't give him a strong insight.

So now, Jiang Hu is thinking, wait for another two years, when the eldest child is seven years old, then the family should have some savings and can go to school.

But Erniang didn't feel as much as Jiang Hu, and she even hesitated: "If I go to school, it will cost a lot of money, right? Pens, ink, paper and inkstone are expensive, and books are even more expensive."

Of course Erniang knew the benefits of studying, but she knew even more that it was not that easy to support a student.

In the past, at home, the whole family worked together, and only the uncle's son was able to go to school.

Now that there are only their husband and wife in the family, it is easier said than done if they want to support their children to go to school?Just a year of repairing, it will cost several taels of silver!

Jiang Hu also knows that going to school is not easy, but the more difficult it is, the more determined he is.

"Don't worry, there are still two years. We have worked hard to make money in these two years, and we can definitely do it."

Seeing Jiang Hu say this, Er Niang just opened her mouth and didn't stop her. Of course she wanted children better as a mother.

It's just that he has to suffer his own man and send his children to school. In the end, the bigger burden is still on the man.

The couple's conversation, the children in the room who were sleeping soundly, were completely unaware, that is, when Xiaomi woke up, he found that his parents seemed to be working harder.

However, she thought, maybe there were too many children in the family, and the parents were afraid that they would be hungry, so they continued to open up wasteland and cultivate the land, so that the family could have more food for the autumn harvest, right?

As for the client, Dawa, he didn't feel anything at all. He was either busy taking care of his younger siblings, or helping his parents with work. Even when Liu Hai came to play with him, he didn't have much time.

But this is all for the future. This afternoon, Jiang Hu decided to treat himself and rest.

However, this rest of his is not a rest at home.

After tossing around in the vegetable garden for a while, he dug up a bamboo pot of earthworms, pulled out some sparse weeds, and went up the mountain.

If you are lucky enough to catch another rabbit, you will send it to Shopkeeper Liu tomorrow so that he can see the difference between the two rabbits!
