It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 416 Could it be that I am thinking too much?

After a while, Hua murmured, "Then, aren't the ditches and ponds dug for nothing?"

Su Rui felt that what Hua said was wrong, so she asked strangely, "Why did you dig in vain? The patriarch chose the location of the ditches and ponds because there are no rivers or wells nearby, and it is inconvenient for everyone to irrigate in spring, summer and autumn. In the future, there will be a ditch and a pond to store snow water in winter and rainwater in summer, wouldn’t it be more convenient to water?”

As for raising fish and shrimps, Su Rui didn't say anything. Anyway, this is something the patriarch should worry about. She is a good citizen no matter in modern or ancient times. All she needs to do is follow the leader's footsteps and cooperate Just follow the instructions of the leader.

In short, she just doesn't have the ambition to make progress. She thinks that if she earns a little money, it will be fine.

Yes, Xiaoqian, the money she earns now may be considered a lot in Sujia Village, but it is not enough in the county town or Zhoucheng, let alone Yuncheng where the wealth and wealth are gathered!

She really doesn't ask too much, if she has money and leisure, her siblings grow up healthy, little Fujigui will be fine...

As for whether the younger brothers have ambitions when they grow up, she can't control it. She just needs to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. It's up to them to fight how hard they want...
Wang began to help her son to the chicken farm to clean up the excrement of the chickens and rabbits. Although there are two relatives working in the back, she does not need to help, but she will still come to see if there is anything that needs her to do. .

Because she comes here often, she is no longer familiar with the chicken farm, so she has nothing to be curious about, but Lin has basically never been here, and she is looking around curiously at this time.

"Miss Rui, your chickens are so densely packed, and they look so energetic."

"My chickens are not sick, but they look listless every day, which makes people not happy at all."

Su Rui immediately praised, "It's not that my chickens are good, but brother Chen Dong who helps us raise chickens is amazing."

Mrs. Lin was amazed, "Chendong can do it...with this skill, there will be no shortage of meat to eat in the future..."

Hua Shi also praised, "That's right, Chen Dong is getting more and more stable now..."

Listening to their compliments, Wang Shi didn't say anything when she heard the words, but she smiled with her brows and eyes. It is said that her son is also responsible for the chicken's energy!

His son is doing well in raising chickens...
Hua sighed, "Speaking of which, my Chen Jie and Chen Dong are not a few years apart, so they are not as stable as Chen Dong."

Wang hurriedly said, "My family's Chendong also started to be steady when he got married. When your family's Chenjie gets married next year, he should also be steady."

"By the way, is your Chen Jie engaged?"

Mrs. Hua smiled, "Look at it, isn't the head of the house digging ditches these few days, after digging, I will go to propose marriage."

Lin was surprised, "Oh, congratulations sister-in-law, you must let us know when you get engaged, so we can help."

Mrs. Wang, "Yes, tell us in advance that we will help."

"Congratulations, Aunt Hua. I'll help you then. Well, although I can't help you much, I can help you eat."

The three of them burst out laughing when they heard this.

Su Rui is now used to the fact that she got married early in this era.

Speaking of which, since the snow disaster was over, the outer villages did not prepare in advance, and there were many places that were seriously affected by the disaster, and they were all dead and injured.

If there are too many casualties, it means being poor. When you are poor, you want to marry a girl. If you get married, you can eat less food, and it can also bring a certain amount of income to the family. It is a steady profit.

So this also led to the fact that many of the men who could not afford to marry a wife in previous years were older men, who spent more than [-]% less money than in previous years to marry a wife, especially in Sujia Village.

In fact, in Su Rui's eyes, she is not considered old at all, she is only in her 20s, 30 years old, which is a mature and steady age, but better than those sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys who have not yet passed puberty...

After looking at the front and back yards, Hua had to sigh, "Sister-in-law, your Chendong is amazing. Look, not only the chickens are well raised, but the rabbits are also better than our own. How smooth is the fur? Sometimes selling fur alone is worth a lot of money, right?"

Su Rui agrees, "Yes, this fur is indeed very valuable. Although it is not as good as fox fur, it is not bad. During the snowstorm, we couldn't buy pork when we went out, so we ate a lot of rabbits. The rabbit skins we pulled out should be handled properly. , in addition to making shoes, clothes, cushions, and carpets, there are still a lot left over. Some time ago, Uncle De took the leather to the fur shop in the county town and asked, and a piece of leather costs twenty cents."

Lin was surprised, "Twenty Wen?"

"Sometimes I come across rabbits hunted by hunters outside. Unless they are very fat, they only cost [-] to [-] renminbi, and generally they only cost [-] to [-] renminbi. Now this piece of skin costs [-] renminbi? Isn't that better than rabbit meat? valuable?"

Su Rui thought for a while, "It seems that it depends on the quality. Aunt Hua also said just now that my rabbit's fur is good, so the price is high. It seems that the price is usually only ten yuan, right?"

Hua admired, "A dozen words is enough. Think about it, this rabbit does not need any food, it mainly eats grass."

Mrs. Wang, "It doesn't cost food, but it stinks. Don't look at it, it looks good, but the shit it pulls is much more smelly than chicken shit, and it's not bad."

"So, it's okay to raise a few at home to eat, but it's not good if there are too many, unless you raise them in a separate yard like Girl Rui..."

Mrs. Wang also thinks it is okay to raise rabbits to eat meat and make clothes and shoes, but I can't stand the taste of it, so I can eat and pull it every day...
Mrs. Lin quickly agreed after hearing the words, "Yes, my family thinks it is too stinky, so it has been limited to five, and if it exceeds, it will be slaughtered for meat."

Hua Shi also thought of the smell of rabbit urine when she heard the words, and she immediately lost her mind. She didn't want to clean such a big rabbit nest every day...too tiring, too smelly...and next year What about marrying a daughter-in-law? How can the yard smell?

After the pond was dug, it was three meters deep. The Dragon Boat Festival was just around the corner. During the period, it rained a few times. Su Rui looked at the blue sky and murmured in her heart. Could it be that she was too nervous?And there is no heavy rain?
"Big sister, big sister?"

"what?"

Su Rui came back to her senses and saw Su Chenrui and Meng Mingxu standing in front of her, "Chen Rui, Mingxu, why are you still at home? Shouldn't you be teaching ethnology at this hour?"

Meng Mingxu, "..."

Su Chenrui had no choice but to say, "...Eldest sister, have you forgotten? Tomorrow's Dragon Boat Festival, sir will have a holiday too, so I have three days off."

Su Rui remembered and felt embarrassed, "Oh, yes, you are on vacation."

Su Chenrui, Meng Mingxu, "..."
