Dressed as a farmer group pet

Chapter 74
Jiang Hu, who was wiping his daughter-in-law's hair at ease, suddenly slapped his thigh when he heard Erniang's words: "It's broken! The chickens haven't come back yet!"

After speaking, he didn't care to continue wiping his hair, and left the handkerchief on Er Niang's head. He grabbed the wet clothes he just changed, propped it up to block the rain, and ran outside.

Erniang hurriedly chased after a few steps: "Brother Hu, wait a minute, bring your bucket hat and shoji first."

"I know, Erniang, you are in the room, don't come out." When Jiang Hu echoed, he had already entered the next room.

After a while, Jiang Hu came out wearing a bamboo hat and shoji, rolled up his trousers, and walked to the back of the house wearing straw sandals.

The rain came too fast, and the pheasants and chickens were still outside.

The few pheasants caught before had their wings and tail feathers removed by ginger tiger, and then weaved bamboo fences, encircled a piece of land beside the house, and kept the pheasants as domestic chickens.

It wasn't so busy at that time. Erni, the big baby, went to the field to find bugs when she was free. Not to mention, the pheasants have been raised for a few laps and laid two broods of eggs, which are about to hatch.

And because of the bugs, the chickens that Jiang Hu first bought, three hens and one egg a day, without stopping!

The chicks I bought later grew to half-sized in two months, and after three or four months, they could lay eggs.

However, because there are too many vegetables in the vegetable garden, the pheasants and chickens are finally raised together by ginger tigers. Anyway, there is a large open space next to the house, circle it once, and then change it to another place after a period of time, it can also let the turf on the ground. recovery recovery.

Jiang Hu hurried to the side of the chicken coop, and sure enough, he saw large and small chickens and pheasants crowded in the place where the door was usually opened and closed.

"This has really turned into a chicken in soup."

Jiang Hu hurriedly opened the fence, and without him shouting, a dozen chickens swarmed past his feet, scurried under the eaves, and then went back along the eaves, hiding from the rain.

They are all old residents. They know where to rest at night, so even pheasants don't have to worry about Jiang Hu.

Anyway, they all came out. Under the rain, Jiang Hu went in and circled around the fence again, harvesting two domestic eggs and one wild egg.

Then he looked at the rabbit next to him.

During this time, Jiang Hu also rested at home. Before, because there was no time, the chickens and rabbits were kept in an empty room.

But now the empty room has been cleaned up and used to store debris, and he has built a new shed next to the hut to raise chickens and rabbits.

Especially rabbits, it is not good to keep them at home all the time, but let them go out for activities.

Therefore, Jiang Hu surrounded the shed where the rabbits were fed, and went to the mountain to chop up very hard iron wood, and then smashed it into the ground with a hammer as a stake, which could effectively prevent the rabbits from digging a hole and escaping.

However, Jiang Hu later found out that what he did was completely unnecessary. These hares had been in their home since they were born, and they were feeding everything they ate and drank. Now they have no intention of escaping.

Of course, the weeds in their house are not comparable to those on the mountains outside.

The rabbit has returned to the nest. The six big rabbits at the beginning have become five big ones and a dozen small ones. One of them has a big belly and is about to give birth.

And one of the male rabbits was sent to the restaurant by him a few days ago.

The raindrops were heavy, and the rabbit nest was a little splashed with water. Jiang Hu found a handful of hay and put it in, and then closed the door of the chicken pen next to him, and then went back with confidence.

However, in such a short time, the original downpour has gradually become smaller, and even the dark clouds have dispersed a lot.

By the time he returned to the front room, the sun had already been released by the dark clouds again, the rain had subsided, and the wind had stopped.

The big baby leaned against the door and looked at the sky magically: "Dad, you're running for nothing. Anyway, the chickens are already in the rain, so it's not too late."

The millet in the room nodded again and again, the elder brother was right, Daddy Bai ran and didn't say anything, and his trouser legs were still wet.

Jiang Hu didn't see Xiaomi's movements, but he saw Dawa's exaggerated expression, so he tapped him on the head angrily: "Chickens will get sick even if they get in the rain, and they won't lay eggs. You are still talking slander here!"

The big baby was instantly shocked: "What? Not laying eggs? Isn't the millet and iron eggs eaten?"

There are three eggs a day at home, and millet iron eggs must be eaten every day, and the remaining one is saved for four days, and everyone else eats one.

Four are reserved for Grandpa Ding every month. If the chicken does not lay eggs for a day, the family ration will be cut by a lot!

Jiang Hu snorted angrily, then took out the three eggs in his arms: "Take them and put them away, there are already two broods of pheasants hatching eggs, and if there are more wild eggs in the future, they will be brought back and eaten together."

Jiang Hu took off his bamboo hat and scorpion, and then looked at Erniang: "Erniang, the rain is light, let's take off the tarpaulin, shake the sorghum from the rain, and hang it to dry."

There is a lot of water on the tarpaulin. It is difficult for one person to deal with it. Two people, one for each end. When opening the tarpaulin, be careful not to let the water flow into the sorghum.

At this time, the place with mud on the ground had become very muddy, Jiang Hu shook the untied oilcloth, and simply folded it and put it aside.

"Wait two years, and when someone in the village builds a new house, we still have to build a new house again."

When others start to do it first, and they continue, it won't be too eye-catching.

Erniang nodded: "When the time comes, a layer of bluestone slabs will be laid on the ground, and the yard will also be covered, so it will be convenient to dry things."

There are clothes drying poles under the eaves. At this moment, the sorghum is bundled into handfuls with thatch, and the water is thrown out with force, and then hung on the clothes drying pole.

A lot of sorghum grains also fell on the ground, under the eaves, in the yard, and some were washed into the vegetable garden.

The second mother was distressed about the food. After the rain stopped, she put away the sorghum rice and the mud, put it in a wooden basin, took water to dissolve the mud, and separated the sorghum rice.

In less than half an hour, from the rain to the clear sky, the sky returned to the blue of the clear sky, and even the sun came out, shining on the ground, and it was still very hot.

Together with Erniang, Jiang Hu carried the clothes pole to the yard, where the sun shone and dried faster.

After finishing this, Jiang Hu picked up the sickle and the basket again.

"Second Mother, the ground must be very thin now, one step on the mud, and after this rain, it will definitely be sunny for a few days, so you don't go to the ground, I will go first to the sorghum that was hit by the rain on the ground. Take it back and do the rest tomorrow."

Erniang nodded: "Okay, anyway, the child fell to the ground at the moment, and there is no place to put it."

The ground is full of thin mud, and millet is fine, just like iron eggs, in less than half an hour, it can become a clay figurine.
