The daily life of a farm girl raising a family

Chapter 12 Buying Cows
  Hearing Yang's words, Old Zhaotou frowned instantly.

He hesitated and said: "He paid the money in advance, so there shouldn't be any fraud, right? Forget it, go tell Xiaojiu and tell her not to go tomorrow."

Seeing the little girl leaning tiredly on the stool and closing her eyes to rest, Yang turned around and went into the kitchen to make something delicious for her child.

yard.

Zhao Yuntong looked at his sister sitting aside and said, "Xiaojiu, are we still going to the forest?"

Zhao Yunxi looked up at the sky and said, "Let's go tomorrow! It's a bit late now."

In the kitchen, He quickly cut the chicken's neck with a knife. When the blood was drained, the water in the pot was boiling. He scooped boiling water into the bucket, threw the chicken into the bucket, and soaked it for two minutes before removing the feathers.

Zhao Yunxi, who felt a little sleepy, got up and went back to the room. Seeing her father reaching for the water glass, he quickly stepped forward and handed the water to Zhao Youliang.

Seeing Zhao Youliang who was in good spirits, Zhao Yunxi happily shared today's good news with him.

Zhao Youliang was happy and distressed when he heard that his little girl had sold all the kiwis: "Xiaojiu must be exhausted today! If dad hadn't been injured, you wouldn't have to worry about these things at such a young age."

"Dad, I'm not tired, don't feel guilty. You didn't know that when he said he wanted everything, I was shocked and thought I was hallucinating. He even pinched his own thigh secretly."

Yang outside the door heard the father and daughter talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. I couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of my eyes. I haven't heard the leader smile sincerely since he was injured.

After watching his father fall asleep, Zhao Yunxi was lying on the bed with his eyes closed to rest, but his mind went into space.

Zhao Yunxi planted the wheat seeds and rice he bought in the county today. In order to make the food grow better, Zhao Yunxi also diligently poured some spring water.

After being watered with spring water, the kiwi fruit and citrus trees in the field grew significantly better.

Zhao Yunxi held her chin and asked: "Facai, you said before that crops grown in space cannot be grown directly outside because the stability of the seeds cannot be guaranteed. In other words, if I want to promote high-yield rice and wheat, I need to cultivate them myself. Yeah?"

"Yes, host. But you can directly hybridize space crop seeds with other seeds. The system recommends some hybrid books for you, and you can buy them to learn."

As soon as he finished speaking, "Hybrid Rice Breeding" - written by Yuan Longping appeared on the screen. "Hybrid Rice Physiology and Ecology" - Hu Qiying. "Hybrid Rice Planting Technology" - Zhou Jianmin and many other books on rice hybrid research.

Zhao Yunxi regrets that high-yielding crops harvested from space cannot be directly used as food seeds. After thinking about it, Zhao Yunxi still bought the hybrid book recommended by the system.

After dinner, everyone in the Zhao family sat in the yard to eat.

Zhao Youli said: "Since these kiwis are easy to sell, let's go to the forest early tomorrow to pick more."

In the courtyard, other people nodded in agreement.

Thinking of the income from buying and selling kiwi fruit today, Old Zhaotou also looked excited.

Zhao Yunxi's mind drifted to another thing, and he said to Old Zhaotou: "Ah, if we earn more from buying kiwi fruits, can we buy a cow?"

Old Zhaotou, who was rejoicing that his eldest grandson’s exam would be paid for next year, heard his granddaughter’s words.

The smile on his face almost stopped, and he said with a look of disapproval: "Buy a cow? It's hard to get your elder brother's exam money back. You just want to buy a cow. There are so many strong laborers at home, how can you use it?" Buy cattle." Zhao Yunxi was not disappointed that he would say this, and then elaborated on his thoughts.

"Aweng, neither my father nor my eldest brother can help with the spring plowing next year. The main labor force is the second uncle and the third uncle. We are still young and can't do much. Without cattle, relying solely on manpower may delay the farming work.

If there are cows, it will be much easier and everyone will not have to work so hard. Moreover, we can still cultivate intensively, so how can we harvest more food from each acre of land? "

After Zhao Yunxi finished speaking, he looked at Old Zhaotou expectantly, looking at the expectant eyes of everyone.

"This cow is not cheap. Money at home is tight because your eldest brother is taking exams. Let's not think about buying the cow for now."

After hearing what Old Zhaotou said, everyone looked disappointed.

Seeing the disappointed look on her little granddaughter's face, Mrs. Zhou couldn't bear it. This kid must have other ideas when he proposed buying a cow.

"Okay, there's no rush now anyway. Let's wait until the kiwis are sold out and see how much money we have at home before we make a decision!"

Hearing the old lady's words, Zhao Yunxi regained hope.

“Ah Nai, I’m thinking about buying a cow, but actually I’m thinking about using some free time to grow kiwi fruit. Then it will also increase some income for the family, isn’t it the best of both worlds?

Moreover, during the slack season, my father and others would go to the county town to find work, and everyone at home was also very worried. In this case, it is better for us to grow kiwi fruit at home, so that we don’t have to worry about it. "

After hearing his niece's suggestion, Zhao Youcai immediately agreed: "Dad, Xiaojiu's suggestion is feasible. I would rather grow kiwi fruit than go to work in the county."

Although Zhao Youli said nothing, he knew from his expression that he must choose to farm. Farming is tiring but at least I have time to rest. When working outside, you have to work hard, otherwise people will deduct wages and look at others at every turn.

Looking at the expectant eyes of his son and daughter-in-law, Old Zhaotou finally nodded and agreed. He said that without affecting Zhao Yunzheng's exams next year, he could buy a cow if he had any savings.

Hearing Old Zhaotou's answer, a cry of surprise rang out in the yard. Seeing the happy faces of the children and grandchildren, the two elders also looked happy, and the yard was a happy scene.

Zhao Yunxi said excitedly to his second and third uncles: "Second and third uncles will have to work hard from now on. We happen to have time here, so we can plant the kiwi vines."

Hearing this, Mrs. He said cheerfully: "It's hard work. Your second uncle looks for work every year. I'm so worried that I can't sleep. Now it's just a matter of putting in some effort. We farmers don't have the strength."

at night.

Zhao Yunxi was lying on the small broken bed in the space planning his future plans. When he finished planning, he realized that he was now short of money and had no power. Money is easy to solve, so Quan can only urge his brothers to study hard.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yunxi lazily got up from bed. After stretching, the sound of Zhao Yuntong and others playing around could be heard in the yard.

Open the window, the breeze blows on your face, and you can already feel a bit cold. After getting dressed and getting out of bed, Zhao Yunxi walked into the kitchen where He and Yang were preparing breakfast.

Zhao Yunxi's schedule today is a bit busy. He has to find a suitable place to plant kiwi fruit, and he also has to go to the fields to see if the fertilization he used previously was successful.

The Zhao family, who were having breakfast, were interrupted by a high-pitched exclamation.
