70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 193 Improper Veterinary
"Father, this is?" Xie Xiaonian asked suspiciously.

"This is Comrade Xie Xiaonian who grows vegetables in the house in winter. She is also a glorious military wife." Without waiting for Xu's father to speak, Secretary Xie introduced directly.

Then he said to Xie Xiaonian: "This is Director Li from the commune. He came to our brigade to investigate raising rabbits. This is Comrade Wang, an expert sent by the commune to our brigade to teach the members how to raise rabbits. They just heard I talked about growing vegetables at your house, so I want to see how you grow vegetables in your house."

"Director Li, Comrade Wang, hello, the vegetables are grown in the Westinghouse, please come in." Although Xie Xiaonian didn't want to deal with these people, he politely invited them into the house.

But Xie Xiaonian didn't pour tea for anyone, after all, she couldn't make it after following so many people, not to mention she was a military wife who stayed at home, and it's not easy to keep a group of people for too long.

But what Xie Xiaonian didn't expect was that the commune paid so much attention to raising rabbits this time, and even sent a director over.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Comrade Xie." Comrade Li nodded and replied, looking quite polite, not the kind of person who is superior and looks down on ordinary people.

Then Xie Xiaonian led everyone to the Westinghouse, and explained: "I also see that my family eats radishes and cabbage in winter, and I want to change the taste, so when my husband is at home, I asked him to help me make such a shelf. I want to try planting this thing. I put it by the window, so it can shine in the sun, and there is a kang in the house, so it is warmer, so the vegetables will not be frozen to death in the winter, although the growth is not as good as in summer , but you can also change the taste.”

"Your method is good. Anyway, the house is going to be burned. Planting vegetables by the window can make the best use of everything. This will not waste firewood, but also give the family more output. Like growing vegetables in a greenhouse, you have to spend a lot of money to buy plastic film. Although the growth may not be as good as the vegetables in the greenhouse, they are all vegetables, and you can eat them at home, so you don’t have to worry about their appearance. I think they are pretty good. Yes." Director Li praised.

Director Li praised it all. No one else dared to have any different opinions, they all nodded in agreement.

"I just planted them casually, so I shouldn't praise them." Xie Xiaonian said modestly with a smile.

"You also know that the winter here is relatively cold and there is no food to eat, so I thought that this winter, we will promote the matter of growing vegetables in the house in our commune, so that every household can grow vegetables. What do you think of being able to eat vegetables in winter? Then he said to Xie Xiaonian.

"I don't dare to accept this credit. I'm a member of the team. Even if the commune wants to give credit, it's the credit of our entire brigade. If they didn't tell you about my growing vegetables, you wouldn't know it." Xie Xiaonian said modestly Said.

She went with the army after the Chinese New Year, so what's the point of taking credit for this, it's better to credit it to the brigade, so that if anything happens to the Xu family in the future, the brigade will show off their face.

Apparently, Director Li also knew what Xie Xiaonian meant, and said with a smile: "Don't take credit, don't be arrogant, you are a good comrade, I will reflect your thoughts to the higher authorities."

In the end, the person who taught the villagers planting techniques was changed from a female director to this Comrade Wang. Of course, these were not Xie Xiaonian's worries.

But no matter who it is, as long as it can benefit the village, it is a good thing.

After staying for a while, Secretary Xu led the two of them back to the brigade for dinner, but after they were delivered to the door, Father Xu stopped and did not continue to deliver them.

After the people left, Xu's father said to Xie Xiaonian: "Xiao Nian, go and get a handful of all the edible vegetables you planted, and let Director Li and Comrade Wang taste them."

"Ah! They said they want to try it." Xie Xiaonian felt that the cadres at this time were very clean and honest, and it didn't seem like they would take the initiative to ask for things from others.

"No, it was Secretary Xu who secretly told me that Director Wang was going to have lunch in our brigade, and Comrade Wang will also tell our brigade people about raising rabbits and growing vegetables for the next two days. No matter what, you should treat them well, right. Go pick some up now, and I'll send them to the captain's house, so don't delay their meal." Xu's father explained.

"Okay then." After finishing speaking, Xie Xiaonian went back to the house, and picked a handful of garlic yellow, bean sprouts and two kinds of green vegetable seedlings that were already edible. With other ingredients, he could also stir-fry a few dishes.

At noon, the loudspeakers in the village began to announce that starting this afternoon, at least one person from each family in the brigade would go to the brigade headquarters to learn how to raise rabbits and grow vegetables.

Although Xie Xiaonian is good at raising rabbits and growing vegetables, it's not easy to be special, so in the afternoon, she asked Lan Hua to take care of the pancakes at home, and then went to the team with her sister-in-law.

At the beginning, Director Li's speech level was different. Just a few words made the villagers enthusiastic, as if growing vegetables and raising rabbits were not for themselves, but for the whole commune and even the construction of the country.

After Director Li mobilized everyone's enthusiasm and Secretary Xu said a lot of high-sounding words, Comrade Wang began to get down to business, and began to tell everyone how to raise rabbits.

Because it is related to everyone's vital interests, although it is very cold in the yard, everyone listens very seriously.

On the afternoon of the 26th and the morning of the 27th, Comrade Wang talked about the things to pay attention to in raising rabbits. On the afternoon of the 27th, he talked about how to grow vegetables in the house like greenhouse vegetables.

Because everyone is an old-fashioned way of growing crops, it only took half an hour to finish the lecture.

Because raising rabbits is a matter of great importance in the brigade, and the intensive training of the villagers, although they can learn some methods and precautions when raising rabbits, but not everyone can learn the methods of treatment.

Usually, if you have problems, you can go to the commune's veterinarians and experts, but if the entire commune raises rabbits in the future, these people will not care about it. It would be great if there are people in the village who understand these things.

So after talking about growing vegetables in the afternoon, Comrade Wang also sent some relatively knowledgeable people to each team to talk about possible diseases, prevention and treatment methods that may occur in rabbits.

Because western medicine is not easy to buy at this time, and people can't take western medicine, let alone animals, so prevention and treatment still need to be solved with traditional Chinese medicine.

Because orchids know medicinal materials now, when their second production team selected representatives, the first thing that came to mind was orchids.

Although Xie Xiaonian knew better about medicine, but because she was about to join the army, she was not considered by the production team.

Although anyone can attend the afternoon class, there are only two persons in charge of each production team.

And the team also organized representatives from all the production teams into a health team, and even approved a separate office, which shows how much attention is paid to it.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this is a veterinary team.

But because Lan Hua has been studying medicine, her goal has always been to cure diseases and save people, so when their team leader found Lan Hua and asked her to be a veterinarian, Lan Hua was very unhappy.

But later, she tended to her mother's lust, and the captain said that she was only responsible for explaining some commonly used medicinal materials to others, and she didn't need to treat rabbits directly. She was not considered a veterinarian and had work points to get, so she agreed.

Their team leader didn't expect that Lanhua would disagree, so they had no choice but to find another elementary school graduate from the production team to fill this spot. After all, their production team only had two junior high school graduates, Lanhua and Xu Jiandang.

Because there was a break in the middle, Xie Xiaonian could go home and feed the pancakes, so Xie Xiaonian listened carefully to Xie Xiaonian's one-and-a-half-day class.

Although she knows some knowledge, it is not systematic after all, and there is no scientific method. After all, she usually relies on space.

So this time Xie Xiaonian studied very seriously and gained a lot.

Xie Xiaonian thought, even if one day the space is gone, she can make a fortune with this knowledge.

Because Lanhua had to teach others to be familiar with the herbs taught by the technician yesterday, and also to study the prescriptions with others, so Lanhua did not come to Xie Xiaonian to study in the next two days.

However, although Lanhua didn't come here, she still took time to read the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" that Xie Xiaonian gave her earlier. Xie Xiaonian is about to join the army, so she must hurry up and learn more knowledge.

And in the past two days, because Xie Xiaonian brought Xiaobai to the sister-in-law's house every day, everyone now knows that Xiaobai is a very spiritual animal and has already accepted him, and Xie Xiaonian doesn't have to keep him in a cage anymore inside.

Because the food prepared for the rabbits is almost finished, there are no wild vegetables and weeds on the mountain, and the cabbage, carrots and other vegetables at home are barely enough for people to eat, and they are even more reluctant to feed the rabbits.

So in order to prevent the rabbits at home from being starved and thin, on the night of 29, the sister-in-law came to Xiao Nian's house.

"Xiao Nian, you see, there is nothing to feed these rabbits at home, so it's not worthwhile if they are hungry and thin, so I thought, they are all at home, let's keep a pair of breeding rabbits, and kill the rest, just right It's cold, and it can be stored for a long time after it's dealt with." Li Suxin said directly as soon as she entered the room.

Because there are a lot of cabbages and carrots in the space, Xie Xiaonian really didn't think about this problem so far, so in order not to arouse suspicion, he said, "Okay, it just so happens that I don't have anything to feed at home."

"Then let's make it tomorrow. It happens that there is nothing to do tomorrow. There are so many rabbits, and they eat a lot in a day! The rabbit skins that happen to be peeled off can be used to make clothes and shoes." Li Suxin planned.

"Okay, then it will be tomorrow." Xie Xiaonian responded readily.

The next morning, after Xie Xiaonian had breakfast, he took pancakes and Xiaobai to his sister-in-law's house.

When Xie Xiaonian arrived, Xu's father and elder brother had already started slaughtering and skinning the rabbits.

The eldest brother is in charge of killing the rabbit, Xu's father is in charge of skinning the hare, Xu's mother is in charge of disembowelling the hare, while sister-in-law and Lanhua are in charge of cleaning the rabbit's internal organs. There is a clear division of labor.

Seeing Xie Xiaonian coming, Li Suxin said: "Take the pancakes and go back to the house, it's so cold outside, don't freeze the pancakes."

"Panbing fell asleep, I'll put him on the kang and let Xiaobai watch over it." Xie Xiaonian said.

Because everyone was used to Xiaobai guarding the pancakes, so they were not surprised, unlike when they first met, they were worried that Xiaobai would hurt the pancakes.

"You didn't keep this little fox for nothing. It's very human, and it can watch children." Mother Xu said with a smile.

"I think so too." Xie Xiaonian replied with a smile.

But at this time, when he heard others praise his Xiaobai, his head was raised high, and his face was full of pride. That playful appearance was very cute.

After Xie Xiaonian put the child down, she immediately came out to help.

But as soon as Xie Xiaonian came to the sink, ready to help wash the rabbit's intestines, Xu's mother said, "Xiao Nian, don't take your hands, so many people are busy coming here, pancakes should wake up soon."

"That's right, Xiao Nian, you don't need to do these things. If you can't be idle, just help me look at the hot water in the pot. In such a cold day, you have to use hot water to wash your hands." Sister-in-law Li Suxin also said .

Xie Xiaonian saw that neither of them would let her intervene, and that no one was watching in the kitchen, so she had no choice but to go to the kitchen to boil hot water.

Because there were a lot of people, it only took more than 2 hours to finish the 23 rabbits at my sister-in-law's house.

Everyone decided to go all out and finish the job, so they went to Xiao Nian's house together.

Because Xie Xiaonian is still breastfeeding, she can't eat too much pickled food, so she plans to kill only 6 and save them for the Chinese New Year.

Except for a pair of breeding rabbits, the remaining 4 are kept to be eaten or given away as soon as possible.

Because they didn't eat at noon at this time, after killing the rabbits, they rested for a while, and then began to process the rabbit meat.

It should be marinated, it should be dried, and it should be smoked. Finally, the preliminary work was completed before 5 o'clock.

After finishing, Xu's mother asked a few men to clean up the things in the yard, while she was going to take Li Suxin and Lanhua to the kitchen to cook.

"Mother, do you want to invite the second child's family over for dinner?" The family must eat something good today. If the second room is left alone, it will be somewhat bad, so Xu Zhongming carefully suggested.
