happy daughter-in-law

Chapter 114 Another Spring Comes
On the 24th day of the first lunar month, Shen Yunfang stayed in the greenhouse in the backyard all the time. When the young quails broke out of their shells, she immediately rescued them from under the old hen's buttocks, and then put them in a wooden box. Be careful, after all, a newborn life is very fragile.

There were a total of more than ten quail eggs, and finally nine hatched, four females and five males.

After the first lunar month, the whole Gaijiatun was busy, and Shen Yunfang was the same, busy with one thing after another.

First of all, the quails were able to run around all over the place. She saw that there was no problem, so she put them in the greenhouse to raise them together with the chickens and ducks.

Just at this time, the thirty eggs hatched by the old hen came out one after another.

The hatching situation this time was not satisfactory. Only 23 chicks were produced from [-] eggs, and there were fewer hens and more roosters. There were only eight pullets, and the remaining fifteen were all young roosters. Yin decline.

Because the quail eggs were to be hatched at the beginning, so two old hens hatched so few chicks, but this is also good, the chicks and young quails were mixed together, and the old hen took them, which saved her a lot of trouble.

Daughter-in-law Dashuan saw that there were not many chicks hatched in her house, and she didn't want them. It happened that she had a big belly and had no place to go, so she planned to stop at home and touch eggs at home. This time she was cruel and prepared to Touch several eggs at a time.

Shen Yunfang was happy when she heard her plan, and hurriedly sent a hundred eggs, and said proudly with a wave of her big hand, that she has prepared the eggs, and Dashuan's family only needs to contribute.Of course, when the chick comes out, I have to give her some points.

The second thing is to catch the piglet.

Originally, she was thinking of going to Uncle Shen's house to catch them. After all, the fat and water don't flow into other people's fields. It's just that she made a mistake. Maybe Gaijiatun had a bumper harvest last year, and the villagers had food in their hands. Today, several families raise two pigs , So when she mentioned this to Aunt Shen, Aunt Shen said proudly, "You are late, all the little piggies for this year have been ordered, and there is not a single one left."

There was no other way, the pig still had to be raised, so she could only think of other ways.When she went to the market to buy ducklings, she took a look around and was not satisfied, so she didn't make a move.Later, Wang Dashuan helped set up a family with a piglet in the next village.The family raises it well, and the piglets are just out of the full moon, and they already weigh [-] catties, but the asking price is a bit high.So at this time, I didn't sell two.

When Shen Yunfang and Da Shuan went to see it together, they saw six chubby and healthy piglets circling around the mother pig in a clean pigsty.

Shen Yunfang took a good look at it at a glance. Although the price was a bit more expensive, it was really worth it, so she ordered two without any hesitation.

Seeing how happy she was, Wang Dashuan also bought two little piglets, thinking that a girl like Yunfang could farm land and raise chickens, and now she bought several little piglets, what is the difference between being a big man? ,purchase.Besides, he raised more pigs this year, and killed his family to save more meat at the end of the year. This year, his family will not be a child.

The little piglets cost 15 yuan each, and in the end they each spent 30 yuan on the piggies.

The lambs I bought last year have grown into big ones, both of which are mothers. Last year, under the tutelage of her mediator, I finally got married with two rams in the production team. I knew it was already in October. She has given birth to a cub, and it is estimated that she will have a lamb in a month or so.

What's more, she went to the fair specially when she was free, and bought twenty duck seedlings and twenty goose seedlings at the fair, all of which were male.

Originally, I didn’t want to raise more ducks and geese. The few at home will be enough for her to eat if she starts laying eggs this year. However, last winter, she made the big goose and braised duck at home by herself. The fragrance is almost unbearable Having said that, she couldn't eat enough after eating several meals, so she thought about raising a few more ducks and geese this year, instead of pointing at laying eggs, she just waited for them to grow up and eat meat.

In mid-March, the ground thawed and the villagers began to prepare for spring plowing.

Shen Yunfang also started to get busy.She still hires people to work on the private plot and yard at home, and she is mainly responsible for reclaiming the land on the slope of the back mountain.

This year, her body is very healthy under the conditioning of the essence of life, and her strength has grown a lot, so she is going to throw off her arms and do a big job.

After the production team officially started working, she went to lead out the flock every morning, and then locked it in the backyard of her house, and then went into the mountain along the trail behind the mountain.

Through observation over the past year, she felt that the hillside she was looking for was really a geomantic treasure. Except for that family of wild boars, she hadn’t seen any large beasts this year, and there was plenty of sunshine and rare human presence here. Great place to do bad things.

She made a preliminary plan on her own, preparing to breed and plant together, and she had to grasp it with both hands and be hard with both hands.

So a few days ago, she sneaked to the county, got some bricks, and built a pig pen and a sheep pen in the middle of the hillside.

Then she went to the markets around the county twice by herself, and bought back ten piglets and ten lambs in disguise. She took advantage of the darkness to settle down on the hillside for the leader.

It wasn't until mid-April that she hurriedly drove out all the remaining land on the hillside.

During this period, Dashuan's daughter-in-law hatched the chicks before giving birth, which was a successful completion of the task.

Shen Yunfang asked for ten young hens and twenty young roosters.

So far, her chickens have grown to one hundred and four in total.

The chick hadn't hatched for two days, and Dashuan's wife started it at home.

At this time, women seldom go to the hospital to give birth, and they all give birth on their own at home on the kang, and those who are more particular have long-term wives.

By the time Shen Yunfang found out, Dashuan's daughter-in-law had already given birth to a six-pound eldest son, who made Aunt Wang and Wang Dashuan so happy.

Shen Yunfang dug out the small clothes and a basket of eggs that she had prepared earlier, and hurried to Aunt Wang's house. Dashuan's daughter-in-law had already woken up. When she entered the room, she saw Dashuan's daughter-in-law lying on the kang with her child in her arms. .

"Sister-in-law, congratulations." Shen Yunfang congratulated with a smile all over her face as soon as she met, "Oh, this child looks really good. Look at this little red-skinned child, he must be a white child when he grows up."

There is an old saying that a child's skin is red when he is born, and turns pale when he grows up. I don't know if it is true or not, but there is definitely nothing wrong with praising the child in front of the mother.

Dashuan's daughter-in-law smiled kindly, "I'm just talking nonsense, such a young child, how can I tell if it's good or not."

"Haha, you don't need to look to know, you and I have a good foundation, and the kid can be worse. Come on, these are the little clothes I made for the kid. The craftsmanship is not good, but the materials are absolutely genuine." Shen Yunfang offered made his debut.

This is a hand-made work after she learned how to make clothes. It uses a piece of fine cotton cloth she bought in the county. Not to mention the handwork, but the cloth is definitely soft.

"Well, that's great." It was also the first time Dashuan saw this kind of sky blue dress, and he liked it very much.Children wearing clothes made of this kind of material must not rub their skin.

"You as a mother like it, I guess my nephew will like it too, come and kiss me." Shen Yunfang gently scented the child's face.Such a small child, whose eyes haven't been opened yet, she likes it but dare not hold it, so she can only look at it as a rarity.

"What are you taking?" Dashuan's daughter-in-law saw that besides eggs, there were eggs on top of the basket, which were smaller than eggs and had patterns on the skin, which looked a bit like bird eggs.

Now quail is not popular, so Gaijiatun has never seen quail eggs.

"This, these are quail eggs, which are nutritious. When I came back from Li Hongjun, I got them from a military wife. I heard that quails are very easy to raise, and it takes more than a month from hatching to laying eggs. , After I came back, I tried to let the old hen hatch, and it really hatched. I have been raising it for more than a month, and now I have started to lay eggs, but the eggs are too small, and I can eat several in one bite." Shen Yunfang made up casually. for a reason.

"It's so fast, it's okay to lay smaller eggs." Dashuan's daughter-in-law also became interested.

"Ha, I'll save the quail eggs this month. When you're out of confinement, you can help me incubate the eggs. At that time, the two of us will share equally. It's just that the quail eggs can't be sold after they are laid, so they can only be eaten by our own family. Eat." Shen Yunfang said generously.

"That's fine, it's just for my Xiaojuan to make up for." Dashuan's wife didn't mind at all, as long as the child eats well, it's not a loss for nothing.

"Okay, then it's settled." Shen Yunfang made a final decision.

Dashuan's daughter-in-law had just given birth and needed to recuperate, and Shen Yunfang didn't stay for too long, so she threw a dollar and left after chatting a few words.

A dollar is already considered a generous gift at this time. When Shen Yunfeng gave birth, she took a dollar with her. Of course, it wasn't that she couldn't afford more money, but she was afraid that it would be too much. Dashuan and his wife should have a burden, so Just go with the flow.
