Chapter 43

"Have you eaten yet?" Miao Hexiang asked concerned.

Jiang Pingan nodded and said, "I ate it, and it's still white flour steamed buns."

Saying that, he took out three flattened white flour steamed buns from the padded jacket in his arms, handed them to Miao Hexiang, and continued:
"Hurry up, it's still hot. I secretly stuffed it in my arms and hid it when I was eating. If there is something good, I will definitely not forget you."

Of course, the steamed buns were definitely not stolen.

Instead, when he came out of the production team, he stuffed his own steamed buns into his bosom, crushed them specially and brought them back for Miao Hexiang to eat.

The steamed bun was wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket, so the heat didn't dissipate, and it was still hot, but even if it was cold, it could be eaten after warming it up.

Miao Hexiang took the steamed buns in surprise and was very moved. She picked up one and stuffed it into Jiang Ping'an's mouth, raised her face and said softly, "You eat too!"

"I've eaten it!" Jiang Ping'an said, and Miao Hexiang still stuffed it into his mouth, but he said helplessly, "Okay, I'll eat it too!"

With that said, he took the steamed bun and ate it.

Miao Hexiang giggled, her eyes turned into crescent moons, and she was happier seeing Jiang Pingan eating steamed buns than herself.

She took small bites of the steamed buns, slowly savored the soft, sweet, and rich wheat-flavored steamed buns, and looked at Jiang Ping'an affectionately.

"Peace, I'm not in vain with you!" She said emotionally, her nose was sore, and tears flickered in her eyes.

Thinking that she has been married to Luo Manzi for many years, but she has never been loved by others. If there is something delicious, Luo Manzi will first grab him to eat.

But following Jiang Ping'an for just a few days, she was spoiled, thinking of her for all kinds of delicious food, and her heart was so sweet that she couldn't tell.

Jiang Pingan stretched out his hand and pinched her face, and said with a smile, "Why are you crying when there is something delicious? You should be happy!"

"I'm so happy!" Miao Hexiang pursed her lips and smiled slightly, throwing herself into his arms with a relaxed smile on her face.

No matter how Jiang Ping'an treats her in the future, just because she loves her so much these few days, she can be content in this life.

After eating one steamed bun, Miao Hexiang took the remaining steamed bun and whispered, "The steamed bun is so delicious, I am reluctant to eat it."

"Eat it, it's true when you eat it in your stomach." Jiang Ping'an smiled.

He patted Miao Hexiang on the back and said: "When I have a future, let you eat steamed buns every day!"

"It doesn't matter what you eat, as long as you treat me well."

Miao Hexiang said softly, hesitated, and saved the steamed buns for dinner.

These days, Jiang Ping'an's needs are great. Although she clenches her teeth and persists, she only eats one meal a day, and at night, she is a little bit powerless.

Eat a steamed bun to make up for it. With energy and more dedication, Jiang Ping'an will have a second experience.

Suddenly, Jiang Ping'an reminded: "Someone is coming."

Miao Hexiang stepped back quickly, put the steamed buns in a bowl and hid them, then followed Jiang Pingan to the courtyard dam.

"Xindong is here." Jiang Pingan said with a smile.

Miao Hexiang asked suspiciously, "Why did he come to see you?"

"I don't know, Uncle Dahai must have something to arrange!" Jiang Pingan shook his head and replied.

After thinking about it, he added: "I guess I should go to the sheep farm to continue guarding."

"That's right, something happened to the shepherd, and someone must be on top of the sheep farm." Miao Hexiang suddenly said.

Then he said worriedly: "You won't be allowed to raise sheep all the time, right? The work points for raising sheep are not as much as you earn from working in the fields."

"That's not true. It's probably just a temporary stop for a few days. Uncle Dahai will definitely make arrangements." Jiang Pingan shook his head and smiled.

Jiang Dahai would not let Jiang Pingan do it. He would rather let his son Jiang Xindong suffer than Jiang Pingan.

Soon, Jiang Xindong ran forward, took a few deep breaths, and said with a smile:
"Peace, my dad asked you to go to the sheep farm for a few more days, and that's over. The brigade will send new sheep over in a few days."

Jiang Pingan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

He turned back to Miao Hexiang and said with a smile: "The chickens and rabbits at home, I still need to ask you to help me take care of them."

"By the way, the hen has laid eggs again these days, right? Keep two in the coop, and put the rest away for me first."

"Go, don't worry about family affairs." Miao Hexiang said with a smile.

Jiang Pingan smiled, went back to the kitchen to get the gun and bullet bag, and went back to the bedroom to release Heizi from the space.

"Huh? Heizi was locked in your bedroom by you?" Miao Hexiang asked in surprise.

Jiang Ping'an joked, "I was going to throw it in the cellar to prevent it from running around, but in the end I still couldn't help myself."

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Ping'an and Jiang Xindong left together.

As usual, Jiang Ping'an invited Jiang Dahai to go to the sheep farm together to count the number. This process cannot be missed.

After arriving at the sheep farm, Jiang Ping'an was surprised: "Why are there seven more cows? All the cows from the production team are here?"

This is a serious and large animal, and it is a collective, and it cannot be raised if there are more numbers.

"Well, the cows of the production team will be raised here for a few days, so you should work harder." Jiang Dahai nodded.

"More than a dozen people have been imprisoned in the cattle pen, and they are waiting for further screening by the superiors. Cowherds and swineherds are also among them."

Cowherds and swineherds suffered innocent disasters, and when something happened to the shepherds, they were naturally affected and suspected.

Jiang Pingan nodded, and asked curiously, "Uncle Fu Gui and the others were locked up in the cattle pen. Who will raise those pigs?"

"I found a few women to do it for me. After Zhang Fugui and the others pass the inspection, I will go back to the pig farm and continue feeding the pigs." Jiang Dahai said with a smile.

After counting the number of cattle and sheep, Jiang Dahai said goodbye and left.

Jiang Ping'an was very excited when he walked up to the seven cows, what a pleasant surprise!
These cattle are all cattle, and buffaloes cannot adapt to the climate in the north, so they are rarely raised.

Among the seven cows, there is a breeding bull, four cows, and two castrated bulls, also called gun bulls.

In this era, there were very few agricultural machinery, and the rural areas in most areas relied entirely on manpower and animal power to cultivate the farmland.

Cattle are the main labor force that is absolutely indispensable for farmers to farm.

Bulls are impatient, violent and love to fight.

If you are in a hurry, it can last for several hours or even two days without stopping. At the end of the fight, you will be covered with bruises, and even break the horns or die.

This is also a greater personal threat to the breeder itself.

Therefore, when a bull becomes an adult, it is usually castrated by a veterinarian. The castrated bull is also called a bull.

After the bull is castrated, it will be docile and specialize in labor.

"When luck comes, I can't stop it. I also said that after the spring of next year, I will find a chance to raise a few cows!"

Without further ado, Jiang Ping'an put the gun and bullet bag into the storage space first.

Then waved the bull and four cows into the space, leaving a layer of sheep and cattle in the breeding area.

Cows can conceive a calf after seventeen to 24 months of age, and the gestation period for cows is about nine months.

A cow usually only gives birth to one calf. If all goes well, she will have four calves by noon tomorrow at the latest.

The sheep in the sheepfold were bleating hungry, Jiang Ping'an was moved, and fed the cattle and sheep with fodder.

"Raising cattle and sheep is like playing for me." Jiang Ping'an said happily.

Back in the kitchen, Jiang Ping'an lit the cage fire and wondered to himself, "Will Zhou Dazhu give up the gold buried under the sheepfold?"

"It's okay if I explain it to you. Anyway, I'm an ordinary person and I don't know that there is gold here, so the final result can only be that Zhou Dazhu is lying!"

If no gold can be found, Zhou Dazhu is lying, isn't he just cheating?
