hunting in 1986

Chapter 87 Chapter 86

In 1987, there were differences in electricity prices among provinces. The electricity price for civilian use in Heilongjiang Province was 6 cents per kilowatt-hour, which was quite expensive.

6 cents in this era is roughly equivalent to 6 yuan in later generations, and the actual price of a kilowatt-hour of electricity in later generations is mostly more than 5 cents.

It rained all night, and when the sky was about to light up, the rain stopped a lot.

Wang Yuan lay on the kang, opened his eyes after hearing the rustling noise, and found that his wife Li Yan was getting dressed.

"It's raining outside, it's okay, just lie down for a while."

"Hurry up, don't you feed the more than 1000 chickens? It's time to pick up eggs after a night."

"Well, I would have liked to sleep a little longer."

Wang Yuan squinted for another three seconds, then hurriedly put on his clothes.

The two of them left the house wearing fertilizer bags, and walked to the chicken farm stepping on the muddy mud. Squeak~ opened the gate, and the big wolf dog guarding the chicken farm came over immediately.

Wagging his tail and shaking his hips, he barked a few times with a flattering face.

"Stop screaming. I brought you a steamed bun. Eat it."

"The kennel seems to be leaking, and the dog's hair is a little wet."

"Then cover the kennel with a plastic sheet." Wang Yuan walked to the kennel 20 meters away on the right, covered it with a plastic sheet and pressed it with bricks.

wow~
When the cold wind blows, the corners of the plastic sheet are blown up, but there are bricks pressing it, so it will not be lifted.

After licking two more big wolfdogs, Wang Yuan and Li Yan started to feed the chickens. The chickens looked very warm hiding in the coop.

"Eat, eat, eat more and lay more eggs." Li Yan was also happy watching the flock of chickens pecking wildly.

"Cuckoo~"

"Googoo hiccup~"

The chickens kept making noises, and they were dishonest when they ate a meal. The two big roosters started to dry up again, and the wind from their wings blew up a cloud of dust, kicking up a small pot of chicken feed.

Li Yan hurried over to lift the pot over and put the chicken feed back on the ground: "These two big roosters are so noisy, why do they keep fighting?"

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Maybe another big cock slept with his wife."

Li Yan: "..."

She gave Wang Yuan a reproachful look, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, there is not enough chicken feed, let's fill another thirty catties."

"Okay, I'll go to Sheng."

Because it is impossible for chickens to run all over the ground looking for food to eat, so they need to be fed more.

But Wang Yuan knew that after the rain, the grass would grow wildly, and then there would be more grasshoppers and insects, and the chickens could eat more buffets.

After feeding the chickens, she picks up the eggs. Li Yan feels distressed when some eggs are broken. After all, eggs cost 6-8 cents per catty, and one egg costs nearly [-] cents.

Put all the eggs in the storage room for storage, then Wang Yuan put another 20 catties of eggs into the basket, and walked home with the basket and Li Yan.

In addition to eating at home, I also plan to give some to my relatives. If I open a chicken farm at home, my relatives will not be short of eggs to eat.

"Gun'er quack~Gun'er quack~"

There are a lot of toads calling in the pit pond not far away, and they are happy when it rains.

As soon as they entered the village, Wang Yuan and Li Yan saw a group of children catching toads. Among the seven or eight children was their cousin "Wang Lei", who was only 11 years old this year.

The second uncle has four children - Wang Meng, Wang Fang, Wang Lu, and Wang Lei.

The third uncle's family has three children——Wang Xiuxiu, Wang Hu, and Wang Xiaohua.

Wang Yuan said loudly: "What is Xiaoleizi doing?"

"Brother, I caught a toad." Wang Lei's trouser legs were covered with mud, and he ran towards Wang Yuan with a smile on his face, and took out two toads from his trouser pocket:
"Brother, look, I caught two toads, I'll give you one."

Wang Lei held a toad and stretched it out in front of Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan didn't care, but Li Yan, who was also very close, turned green.

The toad's skin was smooth and slippery, and it was still kicking its legs. If this thing jumped on him——Li Yan quickly took a step back.

"I don't want you to play with it by yourself, don't get close to the pond, play for a while and go home quickly."

"Yeah, I know."

Wang Yuan and Li Yan returned home with eggs on their backs, and then hurriedly cooked and ate them, porridge porridge, steamed buns, scrambled eggs with green onions, and the leftover fish from last night.

The little local dog eats steamed buns and scrambled eggs, and Li Yan pinches his waist with her small hands:
"You are really spoiling eggs, the dog can eat whatever he wants."

"There's no reward if you don't pay. Let the dogs grow strong and strong so that they can chase black blind men. If they can catch up to one black blind man in a year, they will earn money."

"It's actually some nonsense~"

Li Yan smiled and cleared the table to wash the pot. As long as Wang Yuan didn't spend money to raise women, she wouldn't stop him from raising a dog.

After all, life at home is really easy.

Wang Yuan drank some of the root of the wine in the wine glass, and when he was about to deliver the eggs to his relatives, his father and mother came over, along with the little girl.

"Second brother! Sister-in-law!"

From a long distance away, the little girl started to shout, for fear that others would not know that she was coming.

Wang Yuan opened the fence gate to let them in.

"Mom and Dad, have you eaten yet?"

"Eat, we wanted to come to this yard last night, but it rained as soon as we walked halfway, and we were directly drenched back. Your mother even fell on the ground and wiped the mud on her trouser legs."

"Ah, there's another matter. By the way, I was just about to deliver eggs to you."

After several people entered the room, Li Yan brought over a plate of peanuts, and then went to the outer room to wash the pot.

The father wanted to light up the dry tobacco, but the mother glanced at Li Yan in the outhouse, and then scolded: "Don't smoke, you will choke to death."

"What are you choking on? If you learn to smoke together, you won't be choking anymore."

The old man still smiled and lit a cigarette to ease his discomfort. Usually, he seldom comes to this courtyard, and he doesn't know how to get along with his daughter-in-law Li Yan. He just needs to meet less often.

Later generations changed their words after they got married, but at least in Wangjiatuner at this time, daughters-in-law would not call their father-in-law dad, nor would they call mother-in-law mom.

Father-in-law is father-in-law and mother-in-law is mother-in-law, not parents.

He turned on the TV and was playing TV dramas. After chatting for a while, the old man explained why he came - he wanted to give Wang Yuan and Li Yan the family's 10 acres of land to plant.

There is no such thing as "separation" in Wangjiatun, and the word "separation" is not even mentioned, but basically it is considered a de facto separation after marriage, although the household registration is still one.

Hearing that the land was going to be divided, Li Yan was stunned when she swiped the pot, and the sound of ding dong stopped for a while.

Wang Yuan looked into the outer room with a smile: "Swallows are coming in."

Although Li Yan's Yan is not Yanzi's Yan, but Wang Yuan is used to calling her Yanzi, and she agrees.

"What's the matter?"

"I want to distribute 10 mu of land to this courtyard, do you want it?"

"You have the final say, you can make up your mind." Li Yan stood by the door frame, wiped her wet hands with her apron and said with a smile.

She had discussed this issue with Wang Yuan before, and although she wanted land very much, she also knew that her family didn't have that much energy for farming.

A chicken farm plus laundry and cooking are enough to do housework, but pointing at Wang Yuan to farm the land, I'm afraid the sun will really come out from the west.

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, you just plant the land. We don't want it anymore. We don't have the time and energy to plant it. Now a chicken farm is too busy to keep up."

My mother was worried that Wang Yuan thought 10 mu of land was too little, but she didn't expect that one mu of land was not wanted. She persuaded Wang Yuan and Li Yan to do it, seeing that Wang Yuan and Li Yan were determined.
