Reborn farm girl

Chapter 41

Since the Song family invited the Zhang family to dinner, Mrs. Wang would bring her two daughters to visit the Song family from time to time.In addition, the Zhang family sisters are not difficult to get along with, and they soon became friends with the Song family sisters.As for Zhang Haoxuan, the son of the Zhang family, he was rarely seen. It was said that Zhang Tiezhu had sent him to school with a private acquaintance in the town.

Ever since she knew that Zhang Haoxuan had studied for several years, Liu Ya had been thinking about when the Zhang family boy would teach her how to read.Having been here for so long, the last time the Song family split up, the second son of Song brought back the separation papers written by Lizheng, and Liu Ya read them carefully.Although it is an overhead history here, the characters are not far from the traditional characters.Therefore, Liuya can be regarded as half illiterate if she can even guess.

Liuya really wanted to learn how to read, but there was no one in their village who could read except Lizheng.She is a child, and it is impossible to go to Lizheng to learn calligraphy, and they don't have the time in the United States to teach her a little kid.So up to now Liu Ya still dare not show that she knows a few words.If someone finds out, he will be possessed by a monster immediately, and his life may not be saved at that time.

It's all right now, Zhang Haoxuan has studied, and the relationship between Song Laoer and Zhang Tiezhu is so strong, such a good opportunity, of course Liuya doesn't want to miss it.However, Zhang Haoxuan is too elusive, so Liu Ya's learning of characters has been shelved until now.

This evening, the family sat together and gossiped.Suddenly, Liu Ya said to Song Laoer: "Father, sister-in-law's pigs have been slaughtered. I heard that they sold for a good price. Whenever you are free, go and buy two piglets for us to feed. During the Chinese New Year, Let's sell one, and save the other to kill for the Chinese New Year." Now that the Song family's pig launching business is on track, Liu Ya is considering raising two pigs at home.

Seeing that Liuya envied her sister-in-law, He smiled and said, "Father, don't pay attention to Liuya. Liuya, we have little land, so we have food to feed such a precious household item."

Song Laoer also disapproved of feeding pigs, "Liuya, your mother is right, our family has little food, and this pig can't be fed." Afraid of Liuya's disappointment, he turned his head and said to Mrs. He: "Since Liuya If you want to eat meat, otherwise, you can hatch a few chicks and feed her, and she will still be able to eat meat during the Chinese New Year."

When Liuya heard what Song Laoer and his wife said, black lines appeared on their faces. They kept eating meat, as if she was a foodie.

"That's right, mother, let's feed a few more chickens, and mother will not be reluctant to kill chickens during the Chinese New Year." Si Ya was the first to raise her hands in favor.

Mrs. He thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's feed more chickens. However, almost all the eggs laid by our chickens were eaten by Yaya and I. We don't have any roosters in the rest of the family. Planting eggs. Otherwise, I’ll go back to my mother’s house tomorrow to have a look. Last time I heard from her that an old hen at home had brooded, and I don’t know if she has hatched chickens.” Speaking of this, Mrs. He felt a little distressed.In this confinement, the daughters were thinking of making flowers for her to eat.She was reluctant to eat a slaughtered chicken, so they boiled the eggs laid by the chicken for her to eat every day.This confinement is better than those who gave birth to them. After the confinement, other people saw her and said that she had gained weight.She has taken care of herself, but she has exhausted her daughters.

"Okay then, go and see tomorrow."

In this way, the couple decided.Pigs are not raised now, let chickens be raised.For Liuya, raising chickens and pigs is the same, as long as there is one to raise.So, don't be disappointed.

The next day, Mrs. He took Yaya back to her mother's house, and the girls stayed at home to look after the house.

Before noon, Song Laoer and Mrs. He came back together, and Liu Ya hurriedly asked: "Father, why did you come back with Mother?"

"We met at the entrance of the village, so we came back all the way. Liuya, quickly pour a glass of water for dad, I'm thirsty." This morning Song Laoer ate too much pickles, and was thirsty when he was in the town. It's terrible, but I can't bear to spend the unjust money to go to the teahouse for tea, so I bear it and come back to drink.Now, he felt that his throat was about to smoke.

Liuya hastily poured a bowl of water for Song Laoer and handed it to Song Laoer.Then he asked Mrs. He: "Mother, does grandma hatch chickens?"

Seeing Liu Ya's anxious look, Mrs. He smiled and said, "I don't know why you are in such a hurry? Your grandmother hatched twenty eggs this time. This mother-in-law is capable. Except for one bad egg, all the others hatched." Chickens. Your grandmother knew you wanted to feed the chickens, so she gave me all nineteen chickens."

"Grandma is really amazing!" Liuya admired grandma very much.She used to watch her mother hatch chickens.These 25 eggs can hatch fifteen or six chicks at most.This is pretty good. Some families only hatched a few chicks from more than [-] kinds of eggs.Compared with grandma, grandma is really capable.

He laughed and said: "No, many people are not as good as your grandma."

After drinking a bowl of water, Song Lao Er felt that he had finally come back to life, and said, "Okay, the chickens are brought back for you, and you should feed them well in the future, if they die, there will be no meat to eat during the Chinese New Year. "

"Her father, what nonsense are you talking about?" He glared at Song's second son, and poohed three times in a row, still muttering, don't believe the crow's mouth.

Seeing He's like this, everyone laughed.

This chicken Liuya had been raised before, but at that time, it was either fed corn or the chickens were fed bran mixed with water.Obviously, it would be unrealistic to feed like this here.The original hens in the family were basically fed after cutting the grass.These nineteen chickens can also be fed grass, but first of all, the chickens grow slowly, and after they grow up, they certainly don't lay eggs every day.

However, this problem is also easy to solve.When she was young, she saw her mother dig up earthworms and feed them to chickens.Moreover, in modern farming, it is also mentioned that earthworms are fed to pigs and chickens.However, there is a big question, how to raise this earthworm?Liu Ya has never raised a dog before, so she doesn't know how to raise it.Now I can't control so much, and I will know how the earthworms are raised by slowly experimenting.

These days, many people in the village saw the Liuya and Qiya of the Song family holding sickles in their hands, as if they were digging around.However, everyone doesn't care.I just thought they were playing.

Why Qiya followed Liuya? It was because Liuya was naturally afraid of boneless molluscs like earthworms.She knew in her heart that this thing wouldn't bite, but she just didn't dare to catch it, so she took Qiya to catch the strong man and let her catch it.

Every day, Liu Ya and Qi Ya go out to dig earthworms and come back to feed the chickens. Of course, the chickens are still growing, and it is impossible to eat one earthworm, so at this stage, they are feeding the two old hens at home.

Liu Ah, when digging for earthworms, he kept observing the conditions under which the earthworms grew more and more.According to observations, where the mud is fatter, there are more and bigger earthworms.Liu Ya didn't know if this was correct, anyway, she didn't care about 21, every time she encountered this kind of fat mud, she would dig some and move it back.Regarding Liu Ya's actions, Qi Ya would not ask, anyway, she has always supported her silently.

"In the past two days, the chickens at home have been laying eggs very diligently. They can pick up two eggs every day. After saving some time, they will take the eggs to the town and sell them." , He told Song Lao Er the good news.

"It's a good job." Song Laoer was also happy when he heard that, but when he heard that Mrs. He said that he would sell the eggs, he disapproved: "This egg is still not for sale, and I will save it for a few girls to make up for." body."

It's not that Mrs. He is reluctant to give the eggs to his daughters, but he is used to thrift. He thinks that the family can still eat pork offal from time to time. If he saves up the eggs and sells them, he can return some oil and salt.And most people in the village do this, and that family is willing to eat eggs every day.

"Yes, mother. There are two old hens in the family. There are nine people in our family. Each of us eats one egg. It takes five days to save." Liuya agreed with Song Laoer's words very much. What do you do with the money? Of course it is for food, clothing and housing.We don't pay attention to clothes, but we have to pay attention to eating.Although the family has been separated, the food at home is better, but it will take some time to get rid of malnutrition.

"Besides, the chickens at home lay eggs every day, and it's thanks to Qiya and I."

"How did it become your credit?" Except for Mrs. He and Mr. Song, the older sisters in the family still knew about Liu Ya and Qi Ya's digging for earthworms.

Before Liuya could open her mouth, the fast-talking Siya had already said, "These two little things go out with a broken bowl and a sickle every day, dig earthworms and come back to feed the chickens. My second sister and I asked them to dig earthworms. Why did you come back to help? Liu Ya said, of course it was to feed the chickens. Unexpectedly, the chickens ate earthworms, and the eggs were really hard to lay."

Song Laoer was surprised at first, and then asked curiously: "Liuya, how do you know that this chicken wants to eat earthworms?"

Liuya resisted the urge to roll her eyes, but still honestly gave the reason she had thought up long ago, "I saw a chicken pecking at an earthworm once, and I know that. Dad, since the chicken ate the earthworm and laid eggs frequently, let's come here." Raise earthworms to feed **."

This didn't wait for Song Lao Er to answer, the others laughed when they heard Liu Ya say that.Liu Ya didn't understand what they were laughing at. Could it be that she said something funny just now? She frowned and thought for a while, but she didn't say anything funny at all.

Seeing Liuya looking at them with a puzzled expression, Mrs. He kindly said, "Liuya, how can this thing be raised? Have you ever heard of anyone raising earthworms? No."

Liuya was very unconvinced when she heard it, and if she hadn’t heard of it, it didn’t mean she couldn’t raise it, “Mother, this crop can be grown, chickens can be raised? Pigs can be raised? Silkworms can be raised, why can’t earthworms be raised?”

Mrs. He was also stopped by Liu Ya.But Song Lao Er was thinking that no one can raise this, which doesn't mean that he can't be raised.Maybe this earthworm can really be raised, as Liu Ya said, chickens can be raised, pigs can be raised, why can't this earthworm be raised.

"Father, no matter whether we can raise it or not, let's try it. If we can raise it, we will raise more chickens in the future. When the time comes, the chickens will lay eggs, the eggs will hatch the chickens, and the chickens will lay eggs. At that time, I don't know how many chickens we have in our family. .”

Song Laoer laughed and said, "Okay, let's try to raise it. At that time, we can eat chicken if we want, and we don't have to be so reluctant."

Everyone was very happy when they heard this. Regardless of whether this thing can be raised or not, the life that Song Laoer talked about eating chicken as much as he wants is a wonderful life when he thinks about it.

After that, Song Laoer and Liu Ya thought about how to raise earthworms.Hearing Liuya say that earthworms like places that are rich in mud, he thought, this kind of crops need dung if they want to grow taller.He brought back a bucket of pig manure from Damei Zhang's house, dug a hole, poured the fat mud that Liuya and Qiya had poured into the hole, then poured the pig manure into it, dumped the earthworms, and then Grab some tree leaves and put them on top.

Song Laoer was still afraid that he would not succeed, so he went to ask the well-informed Zhang Tiezhu.Zhang Tiezhu definitely didn't know how to raise earthworms, but after hearing what Song Laoer said, he felt that he should raise them this way.After Song Laoer heard this, his confidence was greatly increased.

As for Liuya, who was helping at the side, she couldn't offer any advice.At that time, she regretted a little. She knew that she would raise earthworms, so she went to the Internet to find out how to raise them. Now it is too late to regret.

However, regardless of whether the cultivation was successful or not, Liuya and Qiya did not change their daily digging of earthworms.In addition to feeding the chickens every day, I pour the rest into the cesspit, hoping to raise a lot of earthworms.
