Candide in Chronology is on strike

Because of her lack of experience and the fact that the old man was not around, Yun Qing went to Zeng Rou's place most often for a long time after she knew for sure that she was pregnant. She completely regarded Zeng Rou's child as an experience baby and brought him up first. , I will have experience raising my own children in the future.

Although Mother Fang wrote her a thick stack of letters, which contained her various experiences and insights on raising children, she could not raise a child well just by looking at them!

She had to do it herself and gain experience.

With the support of this motherly love, she solved all the difficult problems of Zeng Rou's children one by one. With her as a good helper, Zeng Rou's eldest son took care of Zeng Rou's children with ease in the next six months. .

There was a man like her mother-in-law inside to help, and outside there was Yun Qing, a newbie who wanted to find a training partner, but she didn't interfere at all.

Because she had to breastfeed her child, she could basically eat a hard-boiled egg every day, and sometimes she could also have brown sugar and egg water. Her life was really comfortable.

When Zeng Rou's child was more than eight months old and was learning to crawl, Yun Qing's belly looked very big, as if she was about to give birth.

Since she was seven months old, she has rarely done anything in person, helped Zeng Rou's child clean up, and rarely held her.

Perhaps due to good nutrition, Zeng Rou's eldest son slowly learned to crawl twice when he was more than eight months old. His little hands and feet are still strong. He is definitely the best among his peers in the village.

Not only Zeng Rou is in love with him, but Yun Qing also likes him. After all, they have been together for so long and watched him grow from a little meat ball to what he is now, so there must be some feelings for him.

Speaking of raising children, Zeng Rou now has a lot to say. Before, she thought the two sisters-in-law were pretentious and always said that raising children was hard work. Now it was her turn. It was indeed hard work.

When a child grows up to such a big age, the process is quite thrilling. Children are most likely to die in infancy. If the umbilical cord falls off, a little life can be taken away if you are not careful.

She has no experience in this matter. Her mother-in-law helped her do it. Burn the mugwort into ashes, take a few hairs of the old woman and burn them into ashes, add the ashes from the bottom of the pot, mix these things evenly, and apply it on the child's navel. Wrap it with cloth, and do not open the middle to expose the wind. Otherwise, the child will have evil winds entering the body, and medicine and stone will not cure it.

This recipe has been passed down from generation to generation by the elderly. Everyone in Chenhui Village came here this way when they were young. The falling off of the umbilical cord is a gate of hell. If you can get through it, you can live. If you can't get through, you will die. There is nothing that cannot be cured.

Women in this era have many children and many die young. Their lives are too miserable. They don’t have so much emotion to give to those children who die young. Life must go on.

Decades later, the only one who remembers those children may be their mothers.

In addition, young children cannot be hot or cold. A fever can turn a whole family upside down. There is no precedent in the village for children to have a fever that burns out their brains or burns them to death.

Tang Ying and Qin Xi's rabbit raising business was quite prosperous. The female rabbit raised by Tang Ying also gave birth to baby rabbits. She successfully raised five rabbits and sold them all when they grew up. Therefore, not only did she get her money back, but she also Earning about ten yuan is enough motivation.

Tang Ying also expanded her breeding. She bought another female rabbit from Qin Xi. In this way, she had three rabbits, one male, two females, for her to breed.

At the same time, the fact that the two of them were raising rabbits had completely come into the attention of the villagers.Although there were rumors last year that the Qin brothers and sisters were raising rabbits and making a lot of money, many people scoffed at the news and didn't take it seriously. However, Tang Ying followed Qin Xi to raise rabbits. Rabbit, after making some money, many people can’t sit still.

Especially the second litter of rabbits that Tang Ying is raising now, she has raised them to such a big size, almost two pounds. That is a total of eleven rabbits. Even if one can only be sold for five yuan, eleven rabbits are still not enough. It can be sold for 55 yuan. In Chenhui Village, where the per capita income is only about [-] yuan a year, this income is enough to make most families jealous.

This is only Tang Ying's income, not counting the income of the three brothers and sisters of the Qin family!

If Tang Ying was just having a little fun, then the three brothers and sisters of the Qin family raised a lot. They raised more than 40 big rabbits and small rabbits in total, nearly fifty.

The woodshed was too crowded for rabbits, so they made full use of the space and built a shelf inside. Rabbits were jumping around underneath, and rabbits were also moving above.

As for Tang Ying's rabbits, they built a small nest for the rabbits with mud bricks right next to the wall of the Educated Youth Point. Although the fourteen rabbits lived in a crowded place, they were not unable to fit in or survive.

As long as they pretend, Tang Ying, who has been learning from Qin Xi for nearly half a year, can raise them and make them fat.

Originally, Qin Xi and the others had never taken anyone to the firewood shed at home, so no one knew how many rabbits her family had raised. But later, the captain and the party secretary came to Qin's house to see the rabbits raised by their brother and sister.

Of course, they went to the people above to find out in advance that there was no problem for the villagers to raise rabbits. There were no restrictions at all. They could raise them as they wanted. They also encouraged the villagers to raise rabbits as a sideline business to increase the family's extra income. , improve the conditions at home.

When they told the three brothers and sisters of the Qin family about this, their worries instantly dropped.

Next time, everyone sat down together and chatted for a while, mainly the two cadres asked questions and the brother and sister answered.

One is the growth cycle of rabbits, and the other is the reproductive cycle, as well as some tips and taboos about raising rabbits.

Before leaving, the team leader also asked them to send the excess rabbit droppings at home to the team, and they could be exchanged for work points.

A few days later, some villagers came to the house to inquire about raising rabbits. Everyone was very curious, but when they asked about the price, most of them backed down.

The price of Qinxi's breeding rabbits is one yuan and a pound. Many villagers feel that it is too expensive and the risk is too high. It is not worth taking the risk. They should wait and see first to see if other people can feed them and earn a living. If you don't make money, then you can take action based on the situation. This is for people who don't want to take any risks.

There are also some enterprising families in the village. Two families like Chen Aiguo and Chen Zongze bought three breeding rabbits, one male, two females. In addition, there were three other families who also bought rabbits, one male and two. His mother's match included Chen Yao's family who came to steal things at the end of the year before last.

After these people bought the rabbits, Qin Xi took all the remaining rabbits at home, except the breeding rabbits, to the black market and sold them without any hesitation.
