Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 549 Migratory Birds
As soon as New Year's Day 2000 passed, it was considered New Year's Eve.

Schools across Bac Ninh are on winter vacation.

There are many people like the Lu family. As parents who accompany their children, they are like migratory birds. They come to the city to study with their children when school starts, and return to the countryside together with their children during winter and summer vacations.

No, as soon as Nuomi and the others went on winter vacation, the Lu family, the Han family, and the Hu family started to go home.

The children were as excited as if they were celebrating a festival.

On New Year's Day two days ago, Lu Changzhong's family came.

Had a meal here and the kids also spent the day playing together.

After New Year's Day, everyone started to be busy again.

However, this time Sheng Wen and Sheng Qing wanted to follow him back to the farm.

This is also what big brothers and sisters-in-law mean.

Finally, the children are grown up, they have winter vacation again, and they still have somewhere to go.

The couple also wanted to spend two days in a pure world.

There are two options for returning home this time.

One is that everyone walks together.

One is walking around.

The advantage of walking together is that you can make full use of transportation and have company on the road.

The disadvantage is that it is difficult to unify the time.

Everyone is free to go their own way.

Finally it was Old Hutou who said it.

"It's better for everyone to go their own way, so that everyone can make arrangements easily."

Han Jianhua also thought it would be better to go home first, so as not to delay each other.

Lu Changhua didn't have much to say, it was just a matter of making one more trip.

After discussing with Wang Yao, he simply sent the elderly and children back first. As for the New Year's goods, there is still time later.

If you have a car at home, you can buy it anytime.

Besides, Hu Dagui and his wife are coming back soon.I will also have a helper when I buy New Year’s goods.

It's not that they don't want their work to help them buy it, but they don't want to lose the fun.

When buying New Year's goods, you not only have to buy all kinds of vegetables, but you also have to buy other snacks on the New Year's goods street.

Nowadays, the children in the family have grown up, and they can’t eat less candies, melon seeds, peanuts, and fruits during the Chinese New Year.

In the past, due to limited conditions, it would be nice to be able to eat frozen fruits during the Chinese New Year.

Now, this situation is getting better year by year.

For example, vegetables.

In the past, in order to be able to eat vegetables during the New Year, the Northeastern method was to store vegetables in a warm cellar.

That is to say, after autumn comes, put some suitable vegetables and fruits into the warm cellar, starting from September and October until around New Year's Day.

At this time, it can be launched on the market.

Although the vegetables and fruits stored in this way suffer a lot of damage and are not very fresh, it can still allow people to eat vegetables in winter!

Later, with the development of fresh-keeping technology and greenhouse technology, there was a gradual shift from warm cellar storage to the cultivation of off-season vegetables in greenhouses.

At the beginning, Shandong was the first place where off-season vegetables were sold to Northeast China.

Off-season vegetables that are planted starting in autumn are on the market around the Spring Festival.

The vegetables you store in the cellar cannot be as fresh as those freshly picked from the greenhouse!

In addition, the transportation was all about keeping warm. When it arrived in the Northeast, it went directly into the warm warehouse.

There was not much loss along the way. In recent years, the use of warm cellars to store vegetables has been eliminated.

Now Beining sells off-season vegetables from Shandong, Hebei and other places.

Someone asked, wouldn’t it be okay to just build greenhouses in Northeast China?
Some employees at the three-point field actually tried this.

Not really.

Greenhouses in the Northeast can only support vegetables to be on the market around November, and there is nothing they can do later.

Mainly uneconomical.

It's more than 30 degrees below zero. Do you have to burn all the fuel to maintain the room temperature of the greenhouse? !
The money you make from selling vegetables is not enough to buy coal!
In the past, I ate frozen pears, frozen persimmons, frozen hawthorns, and frozen flowers.

I still eat these now.

Just add a lot of southern fruits.

Lu Changhua remembers that there were very few varieties of fruits he could see when he was a child.

Only apples, pears, and red hawthorns are rarely seen.

Later, the variety of fruits gradually increased.

Especially during the Spring Festival.

You can eat bananas, oranges, and dragon fruits.

This is due to reform and opening up and economic development.

To put it bluntly, the roads are well built.

In the past, even if I wanted to transport it to the Northeast, I couldn't do it.

The road was not good, and the car was not good either. Half of the car was damaged before we even got to the place.

There are a lot of highways now, making it easy to go anywhere.

On January [-], Wang Yao sent two cars from his work unit, plus Lu Changhua's and Wang Yao's cars, to take the adults and children of the Lu family, the Han family, and the Hu family back to the branch.

Wang Dejiang and his wife will not go back for the time being.

They were thinking about taking Wang Dehai with them during the Chinese New Year.

Although the Lu family has just returned, there is no shortage of food at home.

Why?

Just because it's an annual rule.

At the reservoir, frozen fish, geese, ducks, old hens, and even six or seven pork companions are packed into the warehouse every year.

For so many years, the Lu family has basically never bought meat outside.

The main reason why so much meat is left for the Lu family is that the neighbors have to send New Year's gifts.

Speaking of which, it has been seven or eight years since the Han family and the Hu family have not bought any new year's goods.

It’s not just relying on the Lu family’s care.

Lu Changhua asked them to come to his house to get meat.

They can carry the geese, chickens and ducks, but not the pork.

Lu Changhua had to carry them over.

After dividing the things, it was still time for the Lu family to gather together in the evening.

Mainly thanks to Lu Changhua and his wife for their hard work.

That night, Mrs. Hu tried her best to stop Old Hutou from drinking.

The old guy's tongue was stiff from drinking.

Han Jianhua and Lao Lu also drank less.

Mainly because they didn't dare to relax like this when they were in Beining.

This time, I feel relaxed both physically and mentally.

I also feel that the pressure has been reduced a lot.

It’s understandable if you drink more.The old ladies also drank, which was a bit confusing.

Mother Lu, Aunt Han, Aunt Hu, the three old ladies also relaxed tonight.

Lu Changhua accompanied the old man, and Wang Yao accompanied the old lady.

Children accompany the dogs.

The whole family enjoyed themselves happily.

Mother Lu put down her wine glass and said to her daughter-in-law, "Hey, what a pity. It would be great if your mother was here. This time I can play mahjong with peace of mind."

When Mother Lu mentioned this, Aunt Hu and Aunt Han both nodded and said yes.

"That's right. In the city, we cook and take care of the children all day long. When we come back, we relax. We haven't had a fight in months."

Aunt Han's addiction is very big.

Aunt Hu also said: "This time my son and daughter-in-law come back and throw Hu Le to them. I will have a good time for a few days."

Wang Yao said with a smile: "You guys just relax and play, the kids are with us!"

Wang Yao knew that what she said was beautiful. Even if she and Wu Yue were at home, they wouldn't be able to stay with them for a few days.

It wouldn't be possible without these old people taking care of their children.

In the past, Wang Yao and Lu Changhua had the same idea, finding a nanny to take care of them.

The result is still not working.

No, there is no need for a nanny this year.

No matter how responsible the nanny is, she cannot compare with her own family.

Lu Changhua drank with the old man, and saw his mother and the others talking about relaxing and playing cards.

He interrupted and said, "Mom, my mother-in-law will be here in two days. You guys should have fun then and don't feel any pressure."

"When will Dagui and the others come back?"

Lu Changhua asked Aunt Hu.

Just as the old lady was about to open her mouth to speak, Old Hutou spoke from the side.

"If you say you can come back early this year, I guess there is still no chance. This kid is never sure."

After what he said, Aunt Hu quit.

"What? My son is also here for work. Besides, why are you coming back so early? Playing mahjong with you every day?!"

Seeing that his old lady was about to explode, the old bearded man pouted his beard and started drinking!

Han Jianhua broke this embarrassment.

"Brothers and sisters of the Old Hu family, I think it's okay to let your son buy a house in the capital. You go with him to save them from running back and forth."

"Oh, speaking of houses, tsk tsk, who can afford that house in the capital!"

The old man pouted his beard and said.

"Then why didn't you let your daughter buy a house?"

Aunt Hu was a little unhappy.

Old Hantou, aren't you exposing your shortcomings? !

Lao Hu and his wife have never been that close to this wife.

Don't know why.

The farm is divided into two houses.

Now that their son-in-law has entered the capital, they want to follow her, but if their son-in-law doesn't say anything, how can they go?

Aunt Han was unhappy when Mrs. Hu talked about her daughter.

"What about your son? Why are you mentioning my daughter?!"

Seeing this, Wang Yao quickly interrupted.

These old people, they just compete together all day long.

When I was young, I was better than me.

When he is old, he is better than his son.

I will have to compete with my grandson in the future!

"There's no place like home."

Wang Yao said: "You guys can't get used to living in a big city. Even Beining said it was too restrictive. Look, you all got drunk as soon as you came back. How will you live if you enter Harbin City or the capital? Go down?"

Wang Yao's words resonated with everyone.

"Yes, yes, Wang Yao is right. As we said, are you here? It's hard to get together and have company. What should I do if you all go to the city?"

Mother Lu agreed with her daughter-in-law’s statement.

The old bearded man also nodded.

"Yeah, I think it's better to be comfortable here with everyone."

Han Jianhua also agrees.

"We old people don't really care about food and drink. We just want to be with each other. If everyone goes their separate ways just to go to the city, oh, it would be really boring."

"You're not leaving? As long as you don't leave, we brothers can still live together for decades more!"

Lao Lu raised his glass with a smile.

"Come on, take one."

Today’s topic reminded Lu Changhua of his thoughts.

It’s time to build a few houses in my hometown.

Back then, he built a house in the front yard in order to bring his father-in-law and his family back.

But the houses in the backyard, except for my own house which is relatively new, the houses of the Han family and the Hu family are too old, decades old.

It should be updated.

We have already entered the millennium and the 21st century. Isn’t it a little unreasonable to still live in a small bungalow?

As the saying goes, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse.

Having said it all, it seems that construction of a small villa for each family is about to begin.

Lying on the kang, Lu Changhua and his wife also discussed building a house for a while.

It's not that he doesn't support Hu Dagui buying a house in the capital.

Should he buy it or not.

It’s just that the house in my hometown needs to be built.

Why?

Just give yourself a way out.

When you have a last resort and can no longer survive, there is always a house in your hometown.

At least don't let yourself sleep on the street.

Wang Yao also agreed.

Besides, the cost of building a house on a farm is not high.

"Then you have to build my parents' too."

"Build, build, I think we should build both the uncle's and the third uncle's, so that the whole family will not be separated from each other."

"It's good to know!"

The couple discussed more in-depth issues before falling asleep.
