hunting in 1986

Chapter 84 Chapter 83

Wang Yuan and Wang Hu stayed in Baiwu Township for a period of time to buy chickens, and when they returned home, they felt very cordial to see their parents, grandparents, uncles and others.

evening.

Mom, aunt, and the others started cooking, and soon there was smoke curling up from the chimney.

As soon as the wind blows the smoke away, it drifts away, and there is a smell of burning firewood in the air, which is also the breath of hometown.

Wang Yuan, Li Yan, their father, second uncle, third uncle and grandpa left the house and walked along the path to the chicken farm.

The family's big wolfdog was guarding the house in the chicken farm. He barked a few times and then jumped up to fight.

"Go, go, go, Dasha Gou."

The old man walked inside in his jacket and looked around the chicken farm covering an area of ​​several acres. There were a few houses in the distance surrounded by walls, and there were weeds and food pots nearby.

"Cuckoo~"

Some stupid chickens have come here long ago and have adapted to the environment here, looking for food everywhere with their powerful chicken thighs.

A small number of chickens who have just arrived here are crowded and huddled in the corner, looking around vigilantly, it seems that it is safer to huddle together.

Apart from some weeds on the ground, there are also some sparse wheat seedlings, cob seedlings, sorghum seedlings, etc., some of which are already more than half a meter high.

But more of them are the earth pits dug out by stupid chickens, and some of the earth pits still have eggs, which makes people happy just looking at them.

Li Yan is a person who can't stay idle, she walked quickly to fetch (qiu) chicken feed and said:
"These pots are empty and it's time to feed."

"Cuckoo~"

The chickens all knew Li Yan, and when they saw her, they immediately ran after her with their thighs, and those who were a little further away even spread their wings and started to glide, crackling~ That scene was really lively.

Wang Yuan and Li Yan went to feed the chickens together, while the others wandered around the chicken farm.

The second uncle took a basket hanging on the wall and began to help pick up eggs:
"The chicken farm that Xiaoyuan built is pretty good, it looks decent."

The old man was smoking a pipe, and although he felt that his son was doing well, he still said modestly: "He's just messing around, throwing so much money in and don't know when he will earn it back."

"Brother, you are just worrying, that kid Xiaoyuan is silently thinking, besides, he has so many friends in the city.

Selling eggs will definitely make money. I heard that the price of eggs has risen again during this period. "

"Increased, the price of wood, pork, wine, cloth, clothes... even the price of light bulbs are going up, but the price of food is not going up."

Grandpa also helped to pick up eggs, and he was also happy to see the chicken farm built by his grandson, but he didn't know whether he would lose money or not.

He asked curiously: "How many chickens are there? There are so many roosters."

Dad recently put all his thoughts on the chicken farm. He was so troubled that he even dreamed of the chicken farm. He said: "There are 1024 hens, and there are 68 roosters."

"Raising so many roosters, haha, it's a waste of food if you don't lay eggs."

"Xiao Yuan plans to let them hatch chicks."

……

The chickens were very happy to eat. After feeding the chickens, Wang Yuan took the shovel and started shoveling the chicken manure. At this time, the little girl followed and was picking up eggs with a basket.

"Little girl, how many eggs have you picked?"

"Second brother, I picked up Lao Dou, look."

The little girl was overjoyed, she felt like she was picking up eggs for nothing, the infected Wang Yuan and Li Yan also laughed.

"Okay, okay, bring it up when you've picked it up, it's too heavy and easy to hit."

Soon after the crowd finished picking up the eggs, Wang Yuan caught two old hens and followed the crowd back.

"Stew two old hens to eat at night."

"Xiaoyuan, just stew one." The third uncle laughed.

"There are too many people, one is not enough to eat, just stew two."

Li Yan opened her mouth to stop it - why did she start eating chicken before making any money?But in the end, he didn't say anything, this was also to take into account Wang Yuan's face.

After returning home, I was busy, and soon the meals were ready. In addition to the stewed chicken, there were also some home-cooked dishes such as pork and eggs.

A group of old men ate at one table, and the female relatives ate at another table in the main room. Two pots of stewed chicken happened to be on one table and one pot.

Drinking, chatting, eating vegetables... Everyone enjoyed the leisurely time, and the experience of Wang Yuan and Wang Hu in the past few days was also one of the focuses.

After hearing Wang Yuan talk about "Erdi Yingzi", grandpa smiled and said, "I know this village. Our family came from the pass and almost settled down in Erdi Yingzi."

"Is there such a thing? Then why did you move away again?"

"There are too many people over there, and there are few lands that can be developed around. At that time, there was no Wangjiatun. There is a lot of wasteland here, whoever develops it, so they moved here."

Grandpa took a sip of wine, and then ate a piece of chicken. It was really bitter when the wasteland was opened up:
"It's because the families with the surname Wang moved here first, so it's called Wangjiatuner. Gradually, other families with other surnames also moved here."

After a meal, everyone watched TV again, listened to the crickets chirping at the base of the wall outside the window, chattered for a while, and then dispersed.

In this new house, only Wang Yuan, Li Yan, and three little dogs were left, and the big white cat that was sleeping on the kang was also carried away by the little girl.

"Drink so much wine again, I'll get you a basin of water to wash your face." Li Yan felt that Wang Yuan's gaze was a little hot, and she was shy to look into his eyes for a moment.

"No, I can wash it in the outhouse by myself. Is there nothing going on at home these few days when I'm away?"

"No, it's just that the chicken feed is almost finished."

"It's okay, I'll go to the farm to buy some more tomorrow." Wang Yuan stood beside the basin stand, and after washing his face, he became more sober.

The stick noodles, bran, soybean meal, etc. of the chicken farm are all bought from nearby farms. The farms are sparsely populated and highly mechanized. Many things are sold out if they cannot be used up by themselves, and the price is quite low.

After wiping his face, Wang Yuan looked at the shy Li Yan and hugged the latter.

"Gaha, let me go now."

"Hey, have you missed me since I haven't seen you for so long?"

Li Yan's face was flushed red, she wanted to say something but felt embarrassed, so she could only bite her plump lips and say nothing.

Wang Yuan stopped teasing her, and directly picked her up in the princess's arms and walked into the house.

……

The next day, Wang Yuan got up late, lying in the warm bed with his beautiful wife in his arms, and couldn't remember it very much. Li Yan blushed and wanted to get up, but Wang Yuan refused to let her go, and finally just lay down obediently.

"You have been tired for such a long time, just take a day off."

"Well, just lie down for a while, but I have to feed the chicken later, so I can't starve the chicken."

Li Yan would rather starve herself than starve the chickens. After all, the chicken farm represents the future and hope, and she feels that whether she can live a good life depends on the chicken farm.
