Jia's daughter-in-law of Zhen Hanzi's family

Chapter 220 Livestock
It is said that "a year's plan lies in spring". Spring is the beginning of the year, and some people have time to work in the fields in order to have the hope of having enough food and clothing.

Nanshanwu also seems to be patronized by a spring girl suddenly. The poplar trees all over the mountains and the branches of locust trees burst into green leaf buds, and wild vegetables also emerge from the ground, growing happily against the warm spring breeze.

Now half-grown kids can work too, so we can't let them study all day long.

After discussing with Mr. Chen and the others, Jiahao changed it to class in the morning, and class in the afternoon until two o'clock after school. He organized everyone to dig wild vegetables to feed chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and pigs. After returning home, they continued to tidy up their private land and helped Do some work around the house.

A half-grown boy can not only eat a poor old man, but also a half-adult.

The girls are even more busy, cooking and washing, and simple sewing and mending.

The main reason is that they are not formal schools.

The most important thing is that many families whose daughters are in school don't want their daughters to continue to go to school. They prefer to let the girls do housework at home, or take care of younger siblings.

But Jia Haohao is now in charge of the garlic business, and he also specially called everyone for a meeting, saying that the higher authorities have conditions, requiring everyone to have an organized and disciplined communist work and study, and stipulate that each brigade and sub-unit must continue to hold literacy classes to organize everyone to study.

Anyway, it is the glorious obligation of farmers to read and write. If the children don't go to class, that's fine. Your adults have to go to class.

Just kidding, now everyone is busy earning work points, who wants to go to class?
In this way, it is not so easy to accept the girls in the family to study.

Furthermore, after school, the children were organized by Jia to dig wild vegetables, cut weeds and feed chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep, and they would be given two extra work points for three hours.

I also tacitly expressed with everyone that when the chickens and ducks lay eggs, the broken chicken and duck eggs will be distributed to the children first.

Anyway, the chickens and ducks you raise at home are considered a sideline business, and even the supply and marketing cooperatives cannot force you to pay much, and the journey is far away, and there will be more or less broken ones. These are considered consumables, and they will not be collected. return.

Those who want it will go to pick it up, and it will be enough to offset the work points when the time comes.

In the blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of March, and Jia Haohao and Captain Zhen both went to the town for a meeting today.

People eat for food.

The meeting is to make each production team leader pay close attention to the planting tasks in the geographical field.

The captains of the various brigades in the back all cried and begged shamelessly for electricity, tractors, high-yielding seeds and fertilizers that were only rumored but not touched.

After the end, the comrades in the commune called Jia Haohao, saying that the leader had approved the free family planning supplies she had submitted last time, and asked her to go to another room to hold a meeting belonging to the women's director.

The female leader who came to hold a meeting for them also praised Jia Haohao's suggestion by name, and rewarded her with a pen and a double-happiness kettle with an iron shell.

Well, this is also a surprise for Jiahao.

After the meeting, you can also have a free working meal in the commune.

Captain Zhen knew a lot of people, and while eating and chatting with them, Jia Haohao didn't join them.

After eating, Captain Zhen deliberately came to Jia Haohao's side and whispered: "Later, the captains and I will go to the farm to catch the piglets. You can walk around, we have at least two o'clock." Can come back later.

If you catch the piglets, you have taken the task. If you have ten little piglets, you will have to hand over six big piglets by the end of the year.

The slaughterhouse here will not accept the meat that is less than the specified weight.

People don't care whether you have raised dead pigs or whether you will get swine fever, anyway, raising pigs is risky.

If you don't complete the task, you will have to pay more food and be criticized.

Just like last year, a certain brigade took the task of fifty pigs, but swine fever broke out for some reason, and all fifty pigs were folded into it.

Everyone thought about it, the money that the brigade got from handing over the grain throughout the year was not enough to compensate for the loss of the piglets.

So raising pigs is actually risky now, and it's no wonder that Nanshanwu was not interested in this breeding industry before, but this year it was still persuaded by Jia Haohao.

Although Jia Haohao likes to eat pork, he resists going to the farm from the bottom of his heart, because the smell there is not good after all.

Now that I heard Captain Zhen's words, I felt that he was really understanding, so I naturally agreed: "Just right, Yuqin hasn't come back for more than ten days this time, I'm a little worried, I want to go to the transport team to see .”

He smiled at him in a very doggy way: "That's hard work, Uncle!"

...

When Jia Haohao came to the transportation team and asked someone, they couldn't tell a definite date.

Jiahao went to the office again and found Captain Wu.

Only then did Captain Wu put down the microphone of the phone, heaved a sigh of relief, and his previous serious look relaxed, and he said gently: "Don't worry, they have returned to the provincial capital now, and they will return tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you, Captain." Without thinking too much, Jiahao left the transport team and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some snacks and fruits, as well as needles, thread, candles, salt, etc. that some villagers asked them to bring. , and chatted with Sun Xiang and the others who I met the first time, seeing that the time agreed with Captain Zhen was almost here, so I went to wait at the agreed place.

Xiaoqi poked out a little furry head from the satchel, looked around with great interest, and reminded her: "Okay, find a place to hide, and I will put away the things you are carrying in your hand, and we will go back to you again." Shall we go shopping in the black market?"

Jia Haohao also communicated with Xiao Qi with his thoughts: "Don't think about it today, I will take you to the black market for a stroll next time."

He sighed again: "Hey, if I knew it earlier, I should have let you go with him. With you by his side, I wouldn't worry about his safety."

Xiaoqi was instantly refreshed after hearing this: "Now you know how powerful this deity is? You really did nine lifetimes of good deeds to meet this deity, hahahaha..."

Faced with such a narcissistic Xiao Qi, Jiahao had nothing to say.

But Xiao Qi is still very arrogant: "You have to be nice to me, you know? Go back and get me some dried fish? I haven't eaten it for a long time, but now I feel a little craving."

"I just know how to eat." Jia Haohao lowered his eyes and squinted at Xiao Qi's little head that was exposed outside, and said sharply: "Eat so much and I haven't seen you grow up. It's free to eat."

"Nonsense!" Xiaoqi was furious when she said that she had hit her fatal spot: "It's all because you are hiding in this crappy place. I can't grow up because I can't find any good food to eat."

The more I spoke, the more confident I became: "It's all your fault for not being self-motivated at all, let me suffer with you..."

Facing Xiao Qi, who is more capable than the three aunts and six wives, Jiahao feels that her ears are suffering a little bit. She can only comfort herself, and there is no gain without loss. She enjoys the convenience given by Xiao Qi, so she can only endure Xiao Qi. Seven's nagging.

Even if I have the urge to throw Xiaoqi out, I will secretly remind myself: Forget it, bear with it, just take it as a way to understand the hardships of raising children in advance.

I've heard people say that before the age of three, children are all demon kings who cry whenever they want. Many women suffer from postpartum depression, not only because their husbands don't understand, but also because their children are too noisy.

After Jia waited for a while, he saw Uncle Zhen driving an ox cart.

After she got in the car, she saw the piglets in three bamboo cages and the lamb in another cage. After counting them, she looked at Captain Zhen in surprise: "Uncle, you have taken twenty piglets." Aberdeen and six lambs?"

"Well," Old Uncle Zhen looked at the little piglets that weighed about ten catties, and couldn't hide his dignity: "In the future, you should also pay close attention to the farm. According to this year's regulations, at the end of the year, we have to pay twelve piglets. Each pig must weigh no less than 150 catties."

Jiahao nodded quickly: "Uncle, don't worry, I've made people prepare it before, and it will definitely work."

She didn't know anything about this. She originally wanted Dr. Huang to consult more veterinarians and the Animal Husbandry Bureau.

But Song Zheng said that he liked keeping cats and dogs before, but he knew a lot about veterinarians.

Moreover, he grew up with his grandparents since he was a child. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, even though he is still young, his medical skills are not bad.

After knowing Jia Haohao's thoughts, he was sent to the Animal Husbandry Bureau by Jia Haohao in the name of the village veterinarian, and learned more about it by the way.

Jia Hao Hao went to see him before, knowing that he now knows about general illnesses.

Now that the pigs and sheep are in place, he can call people back.

Captain Zhen felt a little relieved after hearing her words.

In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of March [-]th, and Zhen Youqin came back on his bicycle.

At that time, Jia Haohao just came back from the field outside. When he saw him, he ran over and asked with concern: "Why are you coming back now? I went to the town to ask Captain Wu on the fifth day of the junior high school, and he said you would be back soon." gone?"

And looked at him worriedly: "Why do you feel that you have lost a lot of weight? Are you sick?"

"I'm not sick." When Zhen Youqin looked at her, his eyes were extraordinarily bright, and he smiled and showed his white teeth: "Maybe it's because I didn't wear a padded jacket? I think you also think you have lost a lot of weight."

"Really?" Jiahao saw that he was wearing the gray sweater he brought with him, a white village shirt inside, army green trousers and green liberation shoes underneath.

Although she still felt that the green trousers were a little dirty, but after looking at them for a long time, it might be that her man became more and more attractive, which made her feel that his outfit was quite pleasing to the eye.

"Go in and wash your face," Jia Hao pushed open the door and went in: "Elder Sister and the others are growing vegetables in the back, tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make a small stove for you."

Zhen Youqin felt sweet when she heard her cold and warm words, and took off the snakeskin bag on the back of the bicycle to show her: "Okay, we just came back from a mission and got a piece of meat. Don't you like to eat dumplings? Tonight we will eat dumplings." eat dumplings."

He knows that his daughter-in-law is a picky eater, and she has no interest in steamed buns. Dumplings are her favorite pasta.

Jia Haohao was pleasantly surprised: "What a big piece of meat, shall we eat dumplings tonight?"

Zhen Youqin still doesn't change his original intention now, he just wants to support his family, and wants his wife to eat delicious and spicy food: "Then I'll make noodles and mince meat."

Jia Haohao accompanied him to the kitchen. She was a little embarrassed when she said it, and she still didn't know how to make dough, so she could only mince meat, and chatted with him about the things in the village.

For example, the survival rate of jujube trees is good, and a new farm was built later, raising [-] pigs, more than a dozen sheep and hundreds of chickens and ducks.

Speaking of letting the children dig wild vegetables and cut weeds to feed these livestock, as well as garlic yellow, I didn’t dare to show my face and sell them on the black market, so I sold them to the second dealers on the black market at a price of three cents per catty, so as not to leak wind...

Zhen Youqin quickly reconciled, took the kitchen knife in her hand and started chopping meat, and kept praising his daughter-in-law for being amazing.

Jia shook her hands well, she was still a little self-aware, and said modestly: "It's nothing special, I'm just offering advice, and I want everyone to live a better life."

Before anyone came back, I hurriedly told about the Qian Deliang family's affairs: "At that time, I also thought that the Qian family boy was too spoiled, and he was hard to be a stepmother. If my sister really married, it would be too light or too serious."

"The eldest sister has also thought of the consequences, and she is not willing to stay with him anymore. After you go to the second aunt's house, explain it clearly to the second aunt first. When the second uncle comes back, let the second aunt and the second uncle talk about it." That's good, so as not to make the second uncle feel uncomfortable."

She also felt that Second Uncle Zhen had a good intention, but unfortunately, that kid Qian Xiaojun was not easy to teach.

Zhen Youqin also nodded: "That's fine, big sister's business is not urgent. If you can't find a suitable one, why don't you marry?"

Although Jia Haohao doesn't know how to knead noodles, he also thinks his wrists are sore when chopping meat, and he doesn't know how to roll dumpling wrappers.

However, she can make dumplings, and the dumplings are quite beautiful.

When it was getting dark, Sister Zhen and the others came back. They were very happy to see Zhen Youqin coming back. When they saw them making dumplings, they jumped up happily: "Great, there are dumplings to eat."

Everyone hurried to wash their hands, and then gathered around to make dumplings together.

Sister Zhen lit the oil lamp, put water in the pot, and asked her daughter to start the fire. She also came over to help make dumplings. By the way, she cared about her younger brother: "You haven't come home for more than half a month now, so be nice to us all." I've been thinking about you all the time, is this going to a very far place? Is the journey going well?"

Zhen Youqin replied vaguely: "Everything is fine."

He explained to them: "Sometimes when we go out on missions, we can't tell anyone the route or where we went. Don't worry, Chen Weiting and I will take care of each other and everything will be fine."

"Speaking of Chen Weiting," Jia Haohao blinked at Zhen Erniu, and asked nervously, "How many days are you resting? Will he come tomorrow?"

Zhen Erniu's face turned red in an instant, and she didn't dare to look at everyone's faces.

"Him?" Zhen Youqin seemed a little regretful about mentioning this person: "I don't know, he hasn't been home for a long time, guess there are a lot of things at home, right?"

Everyone didn't pay attention to Zhen Youqin's words, they were all looking forward to eating dumplings.

When the dumplings were in the pot, Jiahao saw that it was getting dark outside, so he sent Zhen Xiaoer to Grandma Su and Mrs. Chen after the first pot.

Then ask Jia Yunhang to send it to Dr. Huang and his grandparents.

Each family is a lunch box, which can be regarded as a taste for everyone.
