Xie Huaxiang counted the days on her fingers and estimated that the reply from her parents would arrive. It happened that the production team had a day off from work, and she planned to take this opportunity to go to the county town again.
Shen Tingsheng and the others are busy building canals in the mountains, diverting the spring water from the mountains, just in a circle along the land they have opened, to facilitate irrigation, so that in the future they will water the crops in the fields without having to go to the springs to fetch water. So troublesome.
Now their small farm in the mountains has become more and more decent. Not only does it have pig pens and chicken sheds, but also square vegetable plots are filled with various easy-to-grow vegetables. The green patches are pleasing to the eye, and the team members While farmers are busy sowing autumn rice, they have also opened a rice field here. Now it is the time when the seedlings are taking strips and they have to be busy fertilizing.
Nowadays, they feel more and more that they are running out of time and manpower. In the production team, no matter whether there is work or not, you have to go to work. Even if you just work idle for a day, you still have to stay there. Prove that you are working hard to participate in socialist labor construction.
Sometimes when several people are chatting, they all wish they could spend all day and night working in their own fields in the mountains. Even if they don¡¯t get any work points, working in their own fields for half a day can yield more harvest than production. I worked in the team for more than three days.
It¡¯s a pity that no one has the courage.
So when the production team finally had a day off, of course they were reluctant to waste it and focused on the farm work in the mountains.
Shen Tingsheng was worried that Xie Huaxiang went to the county town alone. She originally wanted Shen Lihua to accompany her, but Yaomei was a little reluctant. Like several other adults, she and Shen Guanggong were now focused on On the little chicken.
Xie Huaxiang said that as long as they raised the chicks properly, half of the money from selling the eggs would be given to the two of them as pocket money. Xie Huaxiang also settled the account. They now have more than sixty The chicks, most of which are hens, will then lay one egg per hen per day, and there will be at least fifty eggs per day.
Excluding what I eat at home, I can sell at least forty eggs a day. On the black market, eggs can be sold for eight cents each. Forty eggs are three and two dollars. If I divide them in half, that is one dollar and sixty, each person can have eighty cents. In a day, I can earn 24 yuan a month, which can catch up with the wages of workers who eat commercial grain in the county!
When the account was calculated, Shen Lihua and Shen Ganggu were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths: "Really? Give us all that money?"
Xie Huaxiang was unhappy: "Why, you don't believe me? As an adult, how can I still lie to you two children?"
The two children nodded like chickens pecking at corn kernels: "If you believe it, if you believe it, we will definitely take good care of it."
Shen Lihua and Shen Guanggong put it all together, how can we raise this little chicken to lay eggs quickly? Just eating corn kernels is not enough. People have to eat meat if they want to grow fleshy, so they decided to catch as many small bugs as possible before school started, dry them in the sun, and keep them for the chicks to eat slowly.
So these days, the two of them are busy catching bugs in the mountains.
There was no way not to be anxious. School was about to start now, and the days for holidays were getting shorter and shorter day by day. How could Shen Lihua be willing to spend time going to the county town? But she had to listen to her brother's words, so she had to ask reluctantly. Xie Huaxiang: "Sister Xie, can we come back early when we go to the county town?"
Xie Hua fragrantly pinched her face, which had gained a lot of flesh recently: "You are such a heartless little thing, you don't even care about your sister when you have chickens, right? It's a shame that I still want to take you to eat well." There's food, forget it, I don't need you to accompany them, the first team is also off today, and Cheng Zhiqing has to go to the county seat, so I can just go with him."
Cheng Likun went to the county town mainly to buy some daily necessities. When he came, he didn't carry a large bag like Xie Huaxiang. He only brought some personal supplies, which he has almost used by now, such as toothpaste, soap, towels, etc. Gotta go shopping.
There are also supply and marketing cooperatives in the commune, but these items are not within the scope of daily necessities for rural people, so they are not sold in much, and you still have to go to department stores in the county to buy them.
Cheng Likun heard that Xie Huaxiang¡¯s main purpose of going to the county town was just to pick up letters from the post office, so he said, ¡°It¡¯s so troublesome to go all the way. I can just go and get it back for you.¡±
Xie Huaxiang can¡¯t let go of this. Although the books she asked her parents to send are not contraband, they are not something that an ordinary educated youth like her can use. If they fall into the eyes of caring people, I don¡¯t know what they will think!
So even if the team doesn¡¯t take a day off, she still has to go to the post office in person when asking for leave.
On the way, Cheng Likun asked Xie Huaxiang.Who is this person? Xie Huaxiang's eyes lit up: "Cheng Zhiqing, great, I was just going to find you!"
Cheng Likun just entered the department store and bought what he wanted within a few minutes. After waiting for a long time, Xie Huaxiang didn't come back. He simply walked over to look for her. When he saw her, she suddenly looked like she was seeing a relative she hadn't seen for decades. His expression couldn't help but be funny and curious: "What do you want from me?"
"I" Just as he was about to ask him for help in borrowing books, Xie Huaxiang suddenly got stuck. What if he asked himself why he wanted to borrow these books? How should she explain it? The fact that they secretly raised pigs and chickens was a huge secret. If anyone knew about it, they would not only be the ones who would suffer, but they would also drag down everyone who works with them!
"Ah, it's nothing!" Xie Huaxiang quickly changed his words, "I just have your letter here!" He took out the letter from South China Agricultural University from his bag, "Have a look, maybe I have something urgent to do with you. It¡¯s here!¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
