Chapter 31 Nahe Farm! (Seeking for collection)
"Then what's the deal? Our people eat horse food and can't even chew bread themselves..."

Lao Cao continued to frown, "I've seen your two cows. They are a little younger, only two years old, and their fat is average. How about I accompany you to the Gannan Fair to see if you can sell them for a good price?" , we will give you another two thousand kilograms of feed grains from the livestock, more or less that’s all..."

"Thank you so much, Uncle Cao. You help us every year. My father's generation has always eaten your food..."

"If your old prince hadn't cleared the wasteland for cattle farming, our ancestors would have starved to death in the Guandong mountains. Our family wouldn't speak heretics... Is Jianping awake? You can sleep a little longer. I'll feed the horses." It’s over.”

Seeing Sun Jianping blinking and listening to their chatter, Uncle Cao smiled and said, Sun Jianping smiled, "I can't sleep anymore, so I'll get up and move around."

Bao Tu watched Sun Jianping get up, put on his clothes and get off the ground. He lowered his voice and said, "This young man is really good and very loyal! We also have a few educated youths there, who are sneaking around all day long and bringing disaster to others."

"The same rice can feed all kinds of people. Our family Jianping didn't say anything." Lao Cao knocked his pipe on the edge of the kang, "Come on, let's go out and have a bowl of soup to comfort our stomachs!"

After eating buckwheat noodles cooked with the leftover broth from last night, and braving the early morning frost, the Ermajia Village manure transport team hit the road again.

Bao Tu rode a yellow gelding horse and led two cows behind.

The horses' hooves clattered on the icy road, making a clear and sweet knocking sound as they passed through villages and towns, passed Nahe Farm, and in front of them was Durki Commune.

"Have a rest!"

The ice and snow roads were very difficult to walk on. After a long morning, the horses were so tired that they were covered in sweat. Lao Cao felt sorry for the animals and asked everyone to stop at Nahe Farm.

Nahe Farm was originally a large farm built by the pioneering team of the Little Devils. After liberation, it was expanded several times on the original site to reach its current scale.

It is said that the grain produced here is directly supplied to the capital. There are more than 20,000 acres of arable land alone, and internal military management is implemented. There are more than 20 production companies, such as tractors, harvesters, land tillers... and even There is a railway line specially built to transport grain! The farmers in the nearby production team were so greedy!
Sun Jianping stood on the carriage, looked over the high wall, and looked inside the farm. The grain inside was piled up into piles and connected into a sea. It was as if the golden mountains were pierced by the winter sun. garish.

"Let's go!"

Lao Cao looked eagerly at the golden grains, tightened the hemp rope around his waist, cracked his whip, and the wheels of the carriage spun again, along the frozen gravel road, heading towards Durki Commune ahead. Go.

"Uncle Cao, stop!"

Just as he entered the commune, Sun Jianping's stomach began to growl. He grabbed the reins of the bay-red horse. The bay-red horse also cooperated. It stopped obediently and tilted its head to look at the state-owned canteen on the roadside, squawking. There was a sound.

hungry!

Sun Jianping jumped out of the carriage, pinched the ear of the bay-red horse, and said to Lao Cao, "Uncle, you see everyone is hungry, why don't you get something to eat to make up for your hunger? It's still twenty miles from here to home!"

Lao Cao felt in his pocket with some embarrassment and took out fifty cents and a pound of food stamps.

"No, I have money!" Sun Jianping couldn't help but sneak into the state-owned canteen. After a while, he came out with two large paper-wrapped cakes and distributed them to everyone. Everyone hurriedly took them, thanked them repeatedly, and ate them with big mouthfuls.

"I've cost you money again!" Lao Cao felt very unhappy as he took the oily cake.

"You're so polite!" Sun Jianping smiled, rolled the cake into a roll, took a bite, and looked at the supply and marketing cooperative in the distance.

"I'm going to buy some more things." He said, walking towards the supply and marketing cooperative, but Lao Cao grabbed him, "But we can't buy food for Yueyue and the others, there are still a lot of candies at home!"

"I know, I'll buy a pair of socks." Sun Jianping said haha ​​and entered the supply and marketing cooperative. By coincidence, the person on duty today was none other than Cai Chunhua.

"I heard magpies chirping early in the morning, and it turned out that it was you, the little wolf-killing hero, who came to my door!" Cai Chunhua saw Sun Jianping, her eyes narrowed with laughter, and she picked up a feather duster to help him sweep away the frost on his eyebrows and hair, " Look at your cold air, where have you gone?"

"I just came back from defecating in Hecheng." Sun Jianping directly "took out" a corner of pork and handed it over, "This is for you, Aunt Cai."

"How can I make you spend money on this kid..." Cai Chunhua was chatting, but her hands were not idle. She had already taken the corner of pork, weighed it, and smiled, "Emma, ​​this old man, must have two Ten pounds, maybe!”

"Well, you helped us a lot last time..."

"You kid are just being polite to fellow villagers. Isn't it just a matter of words? Don't leave in a hurry. I'll give you something. I'm not someone who just takes advantage without causing trouble..."

Cai Chunhua held Sun Jianping's hand to prevent him from leaving. She found a cloth bag, filled a lot of things from the supply and marketing cooperative, and stuffed them all into him. Unable to reject the warm welcome, Sun Jianping had no choice but to carry out a bag full of things and throw them onto the carriage with a clang.

When Lao Cao took a look at this pocket...

Good guys, canned fruits, canned fish, slot cakes, fruit candies...all are delicious!

"This kid, why didn't you listen to me when I asked you to save some money? Why did you buy so much..."

Sun Jianping smiled without explaining, picked up his whip, cracked it, and shouted, "Drive!"

The bay horse swung its tail, stepped on the ice with its hoofs, pulled the heavy carriage, and followed the convoy home.

Finally arriving home, Yueyue and Xiao Xingwen rushed towards me. The two little guys were chattering around Sun Jianping, shouting that my brother is back, please give me a hug!

Sun Jianping picked up Xiao Yueyue, and Cao Xingwen, blushing, picked up the bag of things, grunted from exhaustion, and followed him into the house.

At home, my elder sister-in-law Li Xiuzhi was cooking, and the firelight reflected in the stove shone on her face, which was bright red.

"Mom, eat it!"

Xiao Yueyue picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Li Xiuzhi's mouth. Li Xiuzhi took it and glared at Sun Jianping, "Why are you buying something for your child again?"

"If you have money, spend it!" Sun Jianping chuckled, "If you keep the money, you won't be able to produce offspring."

"You can't buy this kid again, do you hear me?"

"Well, I didn't know, sister-in-law, hurry up and cook, I'm already hungry!" Sun Jianping urged with a smile.

The door opened, and several people walked in from the outside, bringing a chill.

It was Lao Cao, Lao Zhang and Bao Tu. Cao Chungui followed closely and came in from the outside. He raised the cotton curtain and a stream of white air rushed behind him into the house.

"You wicked and smoky person, I just heated up the house, and you went in to cool it down!" Li Xiuzhi scolded her husband. Cao Chungui smiled naively, pulled the cotton door curtain and shook it twice, deliberately provoking him.

Seeing the cold air rushing in through the cracks in the door, Li Xiuzhi stood up in a hurry, pinched her husband's ears, "Shouldn't you be basking in the face?"

"It hurts, it hurts... let go!" Cao Chungui repeatedly begged for mercy.

"What are you doing here, Brother Baotu?" Li Xiuzhi pointed to the back room and asked in a low voice.

"There's a shortage of food!" Cao Chungui rubbed his sore ears, "Because of the friendship between the older generations, he can ask us for help."

"Alas!" Li Xiuzhi sighed, "Every household is living a tight life. When will this end!"

"Just get through it, take it one day at a time..."

In the back room, Lao Cao and Lao Zhang, the two "talkers" of Ermajia Village, were also frowning. They had calculated that the two cattle were too light in mouth and average in fat. A full dozen of them could be sold for 700 yuan. If we take this money and use their account to buy resold grain, we can buy more than 17,000 kilograms.

It seems like a lot, but for the livestock team with more than 3,000 sheep, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

There are twelve horses and one donkey in Ermajia Village, and they have left over 40,000 kilograms of feed grain and two large stacks of fodder, which may not be enough for next summer's harvest!

"What should we do?" Looking at the crooked line of numbers on the paper, several people were at a loss.

"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Cao, Brother Bao Tu, it's time to eat!" Sun Jianping opened the door and came in, saying hello.
