passionate youth

Chapter 30

He looked at Ernier who was going away.

Miao Hexiang sighed softly and said: "Getting married at this age is just going from one place to another to starve!"

The two went to Jiang Dahai's house together, talking as they walked, Jiang Ping'an nodded and said, "You went back to your mother's house a few days ago."

"I heard Brother Manzi say that the man only gave Ernier's family three liters of stick noodles."

Miao Hexiang nodded and said, "When you were picking eggs just now, I asked Ernier in a low voice, it's true."

"Hey, what a crime! Ernier will remember three liters of stick noodles for a lifetime!" Jiang Ping'an sighed softly.

Miao Hexiang agreed: "That's right!"

"Although the age of the past two years has been bad, but only giving three liters of stick noodles is somewhat bullying!"

He glanced sideways at Jiang Ping'an again, and asked with a smile, "Er Nier looks outstanding, so you have no idea?"

"Heh, she looks good, but she's only as tall as my chest." Jiang Pingan shook his head.

"Don't you find it awkward that we stand together like adults and children?"

"At least you have to be like you. It's not too bad to be shoulder-to-shoulder with me."

"Besides, she's engaged now, so it's meaningless to say that, isn't it?"

Miao Hexiang smiled lightly and said, "I don't think there's anything awkward about it, on the contrary, I think Ernier is delicate, a little bird, and cute."

"Come on! There are so many cute people in ten miles and eight villages, so I have to provoke them?" Jiang Pingan said, rolling his eyes.

Miao Hexiang said: "But you are going to get married after all, right? It's not a problem to be single all the time!"

"Hey! Are you urging the marriage right now? Are you afraid that my wife will walk in and throw you away?" Jiang Pingan asked with a smile.

Miao Hexiang shook her head and smiled, "Don't you still have you? If she hates me, we'll sneak here."

"Haha, so you are such a sister-in-law Miao! I like it!" Jiang Pingan couldn't help laughing.

Miao Hexiang couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling.

Gossip and jokes, how many of the things she said were true and how many were false, only she knew.

When the two arrived at Jiang Dahai's house, Luo Manzi had already arrived, squatting under the big tree at the corner of the courtyard, smoking a cigarette expressionlessly.

Seeing Miao Hexiang approaching, Luo Manzi frowned slightly.

It was dark last night and the light was not good, so he didn't pay attention to it.

One night passed, I don't know what happened, this seedling lotus fragrance is as delicate and charming as that blooming peony flower!
Compared with before, there is more blood on the face, rosy, more energetic and radiant, which makes people feel itchy!
Seeing Miao Hexiang chatting and laughing with Jiang Pingan without even looking at him, Luo Manzi felt a little disgusted and regretted.

You must know that he, Luo Manzi, is a man who hates idleness in Shangshui Village, but his own wife is the only one who is enviable.

But now that he was about to abandon this daughter-in-law that everyone envied, Luo Manzi felt a little bit reluctant.

Just about to say something.

He wanted to discuss with Miao Hexiang, delay the divorce for a few days, and think about getting addicted for a few days, when Jiang Dahai came out of the house with his hands behind his back.

"They're all here? Then let's go! Ping'an and I will go to the sheep pen to hand over the work to Da Zhu first."

When Luo Manzi saw that Jiang Dahai had lost all his thoughts and signed and sealed the matter, he really wanted to go back on his word, fearing that he would make Jiang Dahai angry.

Jiang Dahai took the lead and walked ahead. Jiang Pingan smiled and followed. Miao Hexiang and Jiang Pingan walked side by side.

Luo Manzi was in a trance, and followed behind, looking at Miao Hexiang's plump body and her buttocks swaying left and right, feeling even more regretful.

"Don't widow Lu lose her lotus fragrance instead of being greedy?" Luo Manzi was deeply disturbed.

No matter how uneasy he was, with Jiang Dahai at the moment, he didn't dare to say a word, so he had to bite the bullet and follow.

Soon, the four came to the sheepfold of the production team.

The production team belongs to the category of "a sparrow is small and has all five internal organs". In this era, every production team, no matter how big or small, must have three groups:
That is, the herd of cattle, the herd of sheep, and the herd of pigs, and the corresponding three herds in these three groups.

Their deputy is called "companion", the deputy of the cowherd is called "cow companion", the deputy of the shepherd is called "sheep companion" and so on.

Raising cattle is a must for every production team.

In the absence of farm machinery power, ox carts, ox plows, and ox sledges must be used.

This requires that each production team must raise cattle to solve these basic dynamics.

Raising sheep is also a must for every production team. The cashmere wool it produces every year can generate a lot of income for the production team.

In addition, the collective killing of sheep and drinking sheep soup every summer is unshakable.

In addition to the above-mentioned economic and production benefits, raising cattle and sheep is also the main source of manure for production teams.

Raising cattle and sheep are the collective economy of the production team and are owned by the production team.

There are dedicated grazing and feeding personnel for cattle and sheep.

Generally speaking, cattle herders are called "cow herders", and those who herd sheep are called "sheep herders". The positions of these herders are relatively stable.

The "swineherd" setting is relatively random.

Large production teams have dedicated pig farms, where they are reared by dedicated personnel.

Four people like Zhang Fugui, Zheng Sanyou, Li Sibao, and Mao Jinyin.

However, the general production team does not have a special pig farm, nor does it have a dedicated person to raise them, and each household raises them by itself.

Every year in summer and autumn, the production team will send people to release these individual pigs.

This is temporary every year, and the person who herds the pigs is called a "swineherd".

The swineherd is a seasonal job, so the grazing staff arranged every year is not fixed.

Because of the different natural conditions, the stocking activities of each production team are also very different.

If the conditions are good, stocking is easy, otherwise it will be very tiring.

Generally, there is only one shepherd in a flock of sheep, one or two in a herd of cattle, and two in a herd of pigs.

The tenth group of Shangshui Village has four swineherds.

It is because they not only have to raise pigs, but also harvest pig grass and accumulate pig manure, which is very hard work.

The condition of the sheep pen is similar to that of the pig farm, a row of mud-walled huts with a total of eight rooms, a kitchen and a bedroom.

The other six rooms are warehouses, where fodder, tools, etc. are piled up.

There is only one shepherd, so he must be too busy.

Therefore, in the season of abundant vegetation, the production team will let some women and teenagers harvest green grass and store it in the sun to feed cattle and sheep for the winter.

"Dazhu, hurry up and hand over to Ping An, we have to go to the brigade and the commune earlier." Jiang Dahai said to Zhou Dazhu.

Zhou Dazhusi is 50 years old, with a thin face, half-white hair, and a goatee. He does things in a leisurely manner.

He was not a member of the tenth team, but a breeding technician who had been sent by his superiors a few years ago and had undergone unified training.

However, these years have taken root in the tenth team, and they have become a part of the ten people. If they don't marry a wife, they will naturally have no children.

"There are 32 sheep in total, please count them." Zhou Dazhu said while leading Jiang Ping'an around the sheepfold.

"The forage that the sheep need to eat these three days, I chopped up and piled it in the empty room next to the warehouse."

"Feed three times a day, one in the morning, one in the middle of the day and one in the evening."

"In winter, when sheep eat hay, they need to add more water to the water tank to prevent drying, and they also need to clean up the sheep manure and grass residues in the pen every day."

"..."

Zhou Dazhu mainly focused on the key points.

Jiang Ping'an is also a good at domesticating animals, and he only left for a few days, so he doesn't need to explain too much.

After Zhou Dazhu gave Jiang Pingan the keys to the warehouse, Jiang Ping'an asked, "Does the three days count from today or from tomorrow?"

"Starting from tomorrow, there will be three days of training tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. I won't be back until the morning of the day after tomorrow." Zhou Dazhu replied.

Jiang Ping'an nodded and said, "Okay, I know what I know, and I will definitely take good care of the sheep these days."

PS: Ask for a monthly pass.
