80s: The Farmer’s Wife Is The Boss

Chapter 87, Farewell

 That’s right, He Zhengjing’s fish pond was created from his family’s field. After several years of raising it, there weren’t many fish produced, so he finally used it for farming.

Upon hearing this, Mei Xue didn't think much about it anymore. Forget it, let's talk about it later. I'm afraid that after the water pool on Chaotian Mountain was cleared by them a few times, the people in the village would take action.

 At that time, it will not be easy to catch fish all the time. Fish also need time to grow.

But she can’t raise fish, but she can also raise chickens. Her chickens are so strong that they can be sold without waiting for the Chinese New Year.

“Grandma, let’s repair the chicken coop. Now that the chickens have grown up, living in the back room is not a long-term solution.” Mei Xue changed her mind.

"Sure, Anze happens to be at home. Let him go to the mountain to cut some wood and come back. Let him rebuild the chicken coop, making it bigger this time." Of course, Grandma He fulfilled Xiaoxue's wish.

 “Will he?” Mei Xue doubted.

"Yes. He used to do all the work at home, but grandma couldn't do it." Grandma He was really lying about this.

  Usually when small things at home are broken, I wait for him to come back to fix them. It’s just a trivial matter to build a chicken coop.

“Then, let him build a big chicken coop from the kitchen to the fence gate.” Mei Xue also wanted to catch some chickens and raise them.

“Grandma, please go to the village and ask who still has chicks for sale. We will buy some and raise them. If there are none in the village, we will go to the big market to buy them.”

 “How many do you want to buy?” There are quite a few chickens at home, dozens of them.

“If you buy more, forty or fifty won’t be a problem.” Anyway, raising one is also raising a group, and she can raise them well.

After hearing this, Grandma He thought, "Just in time, your Grandma Jinghua's chickens have laid a nest. There seem to be twenty or thirty eggs this time. I don't know how many chickens came out, and there are also chickens from your Aunt Lanhua's house."

 After calculation, forty or fifty is enough.

"Okay, when will it come out? Grandma, go buy it back then." It happened that He Anze could repair the chicken coop at that time.

Meixue doesn’t plan to use the house behind the house to raise chickens. She will catch a few more pigs.

 Now that I have money, I am not afraid of running out of money to buy a piglet.

"It will take a few days, don't worry, I will talk to them in the afternoon, and I will catch them when they come out of the nest." Grandma He said with a loving look on her face.

"Grandma, the house at the back is free. Let's catch another pig and raise it. Also, our pig should be sold. It is too fat and eats too much."

After Mei Xue's support from the spiritual spring these days, the pig has been raised to a shiny coat, and its weight has increased steadily. Now it may weigh more than 300 kilograms, and it can catch up with the wild boar.

 Actually, they have been wrong about one thing. The price of wild boars is higher than that of domestic pigs. The price of live pigs is only 70 cents per catty.

Even though the price in the vegetable market is 1 yuan and 20 pounds, butchers also have to make a profit, and they also have to remove the internal organs, pig blood, fur, etc., so getting 70 cents is considered a very good price.

 Last time, Boss Mi charged a pound of raw pork, which was really a big price.

When her pig was praised, Grandma He looked proud and said, "No, maybe it's been eating too well recently, so it's time to sell it." It won't grow any more meat any longer, so sell it.

 At that time, I will catch two more piglets and bring them back. After the New Year, they will be able to sell them.

“When Anze comes back, let him ask who is collecting the pigs. If no one collects the pigs, we will take them to the town to sell them.” It is always the time when the Chinese New Year is approaching when someone comes to the village to collect the pigs.

 It’s not the right time now, no one will come in to collect it.

 You have to sell it yourself.

"Can't we do what we did last time at Zhengsongbo's house? We kill them ourselves and sell the meat." We can keep a lot of things by killing them ourselves.

"Xiaoxue, we have a lot of meat at home. We can eat it until the Chinese New Year. What if we don't sell it all? There is a lot of pork." Grandma He said worriedly.

When Mei Xue saw that her grandma didn't agree, she didn't say much. "Okay, then, there will be a big market in a few days. I'll ask He Anzela to go to the big market and ask."

The first person that Mei Xue thought of was Boss Zhu. She felt that the two of them were quite easy to get along with, and she said so casually last time.

"Okay, it won't take more than two days. It's better to ask first and get the confirmation so that we can make plans."

While chatting about trivial matters at home, they finished the work in the fields. The sun was high in the sky, and the two of them returned home.

As soon as she got home, Mei Xue started to make lunch. She didn’t know if they would come back for dinner. Mei Xue also made some extra rice so that she could eat it in the evening if she couldn’t finish it.

 Mei Xue made a hearty lunch, mainly to reward her mouth.

After dinner, Mei Xue and her grandma went back to their rooms to take a nap. Unlike before, they could sleep well at night. Now she had to deal with a wolf at night.

 If you don’t sleep a little longer during the day, you will feel uncomfortable in the afternoon.

Mei Xue’s biggest wish is to eat well, drink well and sleep well.

 Don’t look at life like a pig, many people may not be able to achieve it in their lifetime.

 Having been working hard for the collapse of life, I have been working hard all my life.

On the other side, because there were too many fish, Mr. Mi couldn’t eat them for a while. After he bought dozens more kilograms, He Anze and others took the fish to the fish market.

I have to say that those few drops of spiritual spring water that Mei Xue secretly put in were really helpful.

 When I came here at noon, the fish were basking in the sun and jumping around. As soon as they entered the fish market, they were scratched.

That's not all, some people asked them to bring more tomorrow, and they all want it.

He Anze thought about how many days he could stay at home. If possible, he planned to sell fish for a few more days.

After thinking about it, he agreed. The rice boss would definitely not be able to eat so much, so he could only sell it here.

After agreeing to these bosses, He Anze took his cousins ​​to have lunch. Of course, he couldn't treat himself badly if he had money.

He Anze didn't buy anything at home because he found that there was really no shortage of anything at home, whether it was food, drink, or clothing.

Xiaoxue had prepared everything for her family, and even her grandma had put on new clothes. In the past, her grandma would not be willing to wear new clothes.

Now, grandma's old clothes have been put away long ago. When she is not working, she always wears new clothes and goes to the village to hang out.

It was too hard in the past. He could understand a little bit of grandma's thoughts, so he just wanted to show others that she married a good granddaughter-in-law and wanted to be envied.

I have to say that everyone in the village is very envious of her. Those who don’t have a daughter-in-law at home are planning to compare Mei Xue to find one.

 Some people are ambitious and want to find a better wife than Mei Xue.

 After lunch, the four of them drove the carriage back to the village.

“Brother Anze, aren’t we going this afternoon?” An Cheng said with a longing look on his face.

"No, the fish may not survive if left overnight. We will go tomorrow morning and then take it to the aquatic product market. Anyway, there are quite a lot of people there at noon." He Anze shook his head.

Please vote for recommendations, please give rewards, and please collect!
