Chapter 92 Accident
Goutou Mountain looks like a dog's head from a distance. Although the mountain is not high, the mountain road is steep. Ginkgo, camphor, eucalyptus, and poplar trees form forests and are green all year round.

The most wonderful thing is that there is also a canyon here, with cliffs that are inaccessible on three sides. As long as you guard the entrance of the cave, you can watch the livestock in it.

Lao Lai and the others tasted the sweetness of business, only to find that there are really a lot of rich people in the town. In order to earn more money next year, they are ambitiously planning to expand the scale.

Now that the weather is cold, they don't have to go to the ground to earn work points, so they burn wood and brag and drink at the entrance of the cave. When they saw a group of people rushing towards them in a daze, before they could react, they cut their hands behind their backs and trapped them.

Because they came out in a hurry, they didn't prepare any ropes, so they tied themselves with the ropes they found from the wooden house built next to them.

When he saw the livestock raised inside, Captain Wu was greatly disappointed.

At a glance, there are only two pigs, one sheep and a dozen big roosters.

It is said that these gains are not small.

But looking at the hundreds of fluffy chickens and ducks, Captain Wu thought to himself, if next spring comes, these hundreds of chickens and ducks will all grow up, and he will be considered lucky.

Now that they are so small, let alone they can't eat meat, it's hard to catch them.

Zhen Youqin and Zhen Weigang, waited until Team Wei and the others took Lao Lai and the others away, and then came over to take advantage of it: "Captain, our team is planning to build a chicken farm next year, so that we can send more eggs and duck eggs to the supply and marketing cooperatives. Why don't you leave all these little ones to us?"

Although each family cannot raise more than five chickens and ducks in private, everyone is allowed to run these chicken farms in the collective, so as to enrich everyone's food basket.

Just like paying the public grain every year, the public grain is not paid in vain, but the price of the public grain is more than double the price compared to the outside transaction price.

And the captain will also leave a part of the money to buy necessities such as piglets or hoes and sickles, and the remaining money for public grain will be distributed according to the account.

The same is true for raising chickens and ducks in the village. First report the number, and then estimate how many eggs and ducks you have to pay each year. Although the price is low, there is also extra income.

Ordinarily, there should be quite a few villages that run chicken and duck farms in this way, and some members of the village have tried it before, but when chicken plague and duck plague come, it will be nothing.

Moreover, it is a collective system now, and everyone will not pay attention to it. When the signs of the epidemic are discovered, they will not be treated with local methods in time.

As a result, the brigade is unwilling to raise chickens and ducks, and it takes three to five months to produce eggs after pulling weeds to feed rice bran. If they die after raising them, it will be nothing.

Captain Wu looked down on these chickens and ducklings, which were not as big as fists. They couldn’t eat them anyway, so he was willing to treat them as rewards, and he didn’t forget to tell him: “Then you can’t talk about this matter, it has nothing to do with you. Understand?"

"It was only when we made a surprise attack that we discovered that someone was engaging in corruption. You didn't know anything about it. When you go back, remember to tell everyone you heard, understand?"

"Understand, understand!" Zhen Youqin wished that he could get out of this matter, so he naturally agreed: "Our captain is worried that people from the He family will come to cause trouble, and not many people know about it. It will be good too."

Captain Wu nodded in satisfaction when he saw that he was doing so well, and said that they could take away all the useful things in it. He also saw that his men searched out some cigarettes and liquor from the wooden house, but they didn't see any money and money. Valuables, I am in a hurry.

Those people were taken away by Team Wei. If they were interrogated by them and found out where their money was, he might lose his share with his brothers, so he asked Yu Zhenhua to drive away the pigs and sheep with people. I took my own people and rode bicycles to Hejiatun.

Yu Zhenhua was not dissatisfied either, he turned his head to look at the chattering chicks and ducklings, and patted Zhen Youqin on the shoulder: "Brother, I think you have a good brain, and you have a good eye, do you want to come to our side?"

Before Zhen Youqin could speak, Zhen Xiaoer came out from nowhere, eager to agree for his elder brother: "Brother Yu, this is my elder brother, he fights very well."

He winked at his elder brother again: "Brother, this is Captain Yu that I told you about. The last time Zhao Dagang wanted to bully us, he was stopped by Captain Yu. Captain Yu is a very good man, you should agree to come down quickly! "

He felt that going to the picket team was very prestigious, and it was a good job with a salary.

"Thank you Captain for your help!" Zhen Yuqin smiled and rejected his olive branch: "Our captain mentioned that I should be a militiaman in the village. If I go to the town, I won't be able to take care of my home. Thank you Captain Yu for your kindness."

After all, his daughter-in-law was accompanied by a goblin, and he was really not at ease. He was afraid that people would see something if they were careless. He really wanted to lock Xiaoqi in the cellar to be at ease.

But also because of Xiaoqi's presence, he doesn't have to worry about his family's life being difficult, and he has heard about the shortcomings of the picket team, so naturally he won't jump into the pit.

Yu Zhenhua didn't say much, and went after the subordinates who tied the pigs and sheep with the chickens.

Zhen Xiaoer, who felt that his brother had missed a good opportunity, was anxious: "Brother, why didn't you agree?"

Zhen Wei just laughed loudly: "You silly boy, your brother is going to marry a wife, why are you willing to leave her and go to town?"

"Okay, you go back and get the chicken coop, I'll wait for you here." Zhen Youqin waited for the two of them to leave, and got up to wander around the wooden house by himself.

The previous people did not find any money, and he felt that something was wrong.

He knew that these people had sold several pigs and raised them for at least a few hundred dollars.

Either hiding at home, or the person they searched took the sheep, or they are still here.

Anyway, he was free, so he came in for a walk.

The two wooden houses are not big, and there is no shortage of pots and pans. He picked up the briquette stove that was overturned on the ground and put it aside.

There are no beds or kangs in the wooden house. On the haystacks are thick bedding that smells of tobacco and alcohol, and they have been rummaged by now.

People have searched all the places where they could hide things, and Zhen Youqin searched all over but couldn't find any money.

He also suspected that he was wrong, maybe someone hid the money at home.

Today he ran back and forth, wasting his time and energy, and now he couldn't find anything and felt a little tired, so he sat on the haystack to rest, closed his eyes and squinted, and his head hit the wooden board, knocking him down with a bang woke up.

Now, he sensed that something was wrong. Why does this plank seem to be hollow?
He doesn't feel bad for things that are not his own. There is a sharp hatchet next to him, and he picks it up and chops it.

After a few strokes, the wooden plank shattered, only to find out that there was something mysterious about it.

There is a foot-wide space between the two wooden boards, inside which are whole cigarette sticks, bottles of wine, stacks of ten-dollar bills in two boxes, and dusty gold earrings. Gold bracelets, jade pendants of various shapes and jade bracelets of several colors.

Now that there are gold and jade jewelry at home, they are all regarded as family heirlooms and dare not be brought out. If they are seen by others, they will cause trouble.

And Zhen Youqin is really a poor peasant, and he can't see the good or bad of these things.

However, he felt that he would like these things, so he quickly dug out two cloth bags from the side, packed them up, carried them not far away, put them in a tree branch, and then went back to take advantage of the When people came, they knocked all the wooden boards, so as not to be seen by others.

Not long after, the team leader and Zhen Weigang came over with two chicken coops each. Seeing the messy room, Zhen Weigang handed him two egg pancakes, and clicked his tongue: "I knew those people had been here before. It's the locusts that have crossed the border."

When Zhen Youqin heard what he said, he didn't say a word, took the egg pancakes he handed over, and said to the team leader who was patrolling around while eating: "Uncle, there are rice bran over there, I think I might as well sprinkle a few, then these little ones Bring the chickens and ducklings over and catch some first."

"Okay," Captain Zhen was also very happy that his brigade could get such things for nothing, and nodded in satisfaction at him: "We have a meeting in the village tonight, and then I will say that you brought these things to breed, in order to increase the number of our brigade. income, improve everyone's life, so that the two youngest of your family can take care of these chickens and ducks, can count a few centimeters..."

"Uncle, please worry about it!"

...

When Zhen Youqin went back, it was already dark.

Although Jia Haohao hasn't married yet, since her rations have been brought over, she simply packs up all the things over there and brings them over.

Zhen Youqin didn't live in the master bedroom where they would get married in the future, and now he and Zhen Xiaoer slept on the same kang.

In this way, Jia Haohao will live in the new house first.

The place here is big, and although the newly made wooden boxes have not been painted, they have their own woody fragrance, and she is quite satisfied with using them.

After a while, I heard Zhen Xiaoer's voice outside, and hurried out.

Zhen Youqin had already had dinner in the kitchen. Although there were a lot of people at noon, Jia Haohao was generous and asked Erniu to make steamed stuffed buns, stuffed with cabbage vermicelli and bacon, which were also very delicious.

Of course, Er Niu was reluctant to use all the fine flour, and also mixed some cornmeal.

Seeing that there are so many fillings, I just make steamed buns at night, and serve it with a bowl of bacon and winter melon soup.

Zhen Xiaoer watched his elder brother eat, and kept nagging him: "Is it delicious? It's really a blessing to be able to eat meat every day before the Chinese New Year. I never thought that I would be able to live a good life like this."

"Can this be called a good life?" Jia Haohao came in and heard his words, and couldn't help laughing: "After seven or eight years, I promise you can eat chicken, duck and fish every day, until you lose your appetite when you see chicken, duck and fish. "

Zhen Xiaoer felt that she was coaxing him again, so he didn't believe her words: "Unless it's a dream, it's impossible to have such a good life."

Er Niu was steaming pumpkins, and Xiao Luxiu was lighting the fire in a very sensible way.

Because I saw a few old pumpkins in the kitchen, I missed pumpkin pie.

Seeing that Xiao Er started talking back to sister-in-law again, Er Niu came over to change the topic: "Good sister, are you going to town tomorrow? Do you want to bring some pumpkin pies for eldest sister?"

"Okay!" Jia Haohao asked Zhen Youqin, "What do you guys say?"

Today's team requires at least one person who can be the master of the house to go to each household, and it is optional for other people to go or not.

Now that it is cold, Jia Haohao is naturally happy to use it. Zhen Xiaoer went to listen to it for a while, and then ran home to have dinner.

"It's all been agreed, we got benefits, and the credit is all due to Captain Wu," Zhen Youqin was also very satisfied with the result: "The chickens and ducklings are all locked in the empty cowshed now, and Captain Wu will organize it tomorrow. People build two more cowsheds."

After he finished speaking, he looked at his younger siblings: "In the future, the second sister will worry more about family matters, so the second and third sisters will feed the chickens and ducks, which counts as two centimeters per day for each."

In fact, this is really a leisurely job. If he didn't get these chickens and ducks back, the people in the brigade would definitely not agree.

Now, people in the village don't need to spend money or effort. If they really grow up, every household can eat a few more eggs and duck eggs.

After Jia carefully asked about the content of the meeting, Zhen Youqin had already eaten eight steamed buns and two bowls of soup in one go, only to feel that his stomach was full and his mouth was still hungry, and his tongue was not enough.

He put down the bowls and chopsticks, and Zhen Xiaoer put away the bowls and chopsticks very graciously, and asked Zhen Youqin anxiously: "Brother, will you take me to the town tomorrow? I can help you watch the wind and keep it so that you won't be caught."

He is young, it is the time when he is active, and now he is eating well and full, and he also wants to do something for the family.

"I won't go tomorrow!" Zhen Youqin looked at him with a disappointed face, and smiled: "You tell the elder sister to let her stay in the hospital for three more days with peace of mind, and we will pick her up when she gets married there. .”

Jiahao hurriedly said: "Remember to tell Eldest Sister not to think too much, it's not that we avoid him, but we know Eldest Sister doesn't want to see them."

He told him again and again: "When you go, first ask the eldest sister if she wants to come back for a wedding drink. If she wants to come back, we will pick her up later."

She felt that Sister Zhen didn't necessarily want to see Zhao Lanfang now, especially because she couldn't sit still for a long time, but if she really couldn't come back, people would definitely say that Sister Zhen was still resenting her parents and stepmother.

People in the same village will definitely have conflicts. Even if they are beaten to death, when they get married or die, it is a big event in the village.

The master went to shout, if he agreed, it would be a smile to wipe away all grievances, and all the past will be exposed.

If the master comes to tell you not to go, then it is a real feud.

And Zhen Youqin didn't expect that Jia Haohao didn't know there was such a custom, or Zhen Wei just said it before and they realized it.

If Sister Zhen really came back, I'm afraid Zhao Lanfang would not miss this good opportunity to say that Sister Zhen was unfilial.

Zhen Xiaoer nodded quickly: "Okay, if I were the eldest sister, I wouldn't come back, and seeing them would be annoying!"
