Hello 1983

A few people checked the chicken cubs again, but they were a little frightened, and there was no serious problem. It seemed that the weasel just got in and had an encounter with the big goose, and there was a big yellow dog outside to frighten them, so It didn't work out.

The hole that will be destroyed is plugged with grass first, and it will be repaired tomorrow during the day, and several people return to the house.

The fourth and fifth children were lying on their backs looking out the window, and Liu Shikui from the east courtyard and several families in the front yard were also alarmed, and came out with clothes on to inquire.

After Liu Qingshan said a few words, everyone went back to sleep with peace of mind.

Waking up early the next day, after Liu Qingshan finished carrying water, he and his elder sister found a piece of plastic sheeting and stuck it on the damaged hole, discussing it with Liu Jinfeng.

"Sister, it's time for our chicks to prepare a cage, not to mention safety, the chicks also need to get used to it from an early age."

Liu Jinfeng couldn't help showing embarrassment: "Sanfeng'er, the buying station only has that kind of iron cage. We don't have any acquaintances, so it's not easy to get it done."

The iron cage she was talking about was a cuboid cage surrounded by six pieces of barbed wire. It was specially used to hold chickens when everyone went to the buying station to sell chickens every year in winter.

When finally loading the car, the flat cages can be stacked together without fear of being crushed.

However, the cage Liu Qingshan mentioned is not the same thing at all, okay?

I can't explain this stuff, when the two sisters finished their busy work and entered the house, Liu Qingshan asked for pencils and paper from the fourth child, and in a short while, he drew a few sketches.

It is the kind of three-dimensional cages for laying hens that are distributed in steps, with three floors up and down.

The front of each floor is the trough and sink for eating, the back is the trough for receiving eggs, and the lower floor is for cleaning up excrement.

As soon as this design came out, Liu Jinfeng was stunned. She screamed suddenly, put her arms around Liu Qingshan's neck, and rubbed his head vigorously.

"Brother-in-law, take care of your daughter-in-law!"

Liu Qingshan was so bored that he couldn't breathe, so he could only ask Gao Wenxue for help.

Gao Wenxue pushed his glasses, and continued to pretend to read the sketch carefully, muttering: "After the egg is born, won't it break?"

After a long time, Liu Jinfeng's excitement passed, and Liu Qingshan was relieved. Just after he breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Jinfeng yelled:

"Where can I buy this cage? I'll go today."

"living comfortably without anybody's help."

Liu Qingshan thought about it, I'm afraid there is really no place to buy it right now.

Do it yourself, do it yourself, Liu Jinfeng flicked his big braids, studied the sketches again, and discussed with Gao Wenxue from time to time.

People at this time, let alone adults, even children, have strong hands-on ability.

This is not cultivated intentionally by adults. The main reason is that adults are busy and have no time to take care of children. After a long time, they will naturally develop.

After breakfast, Liu Jinfeng took out the charter: "Sanfenger, we have a cage for four chickens. We only need to weld the frame, and we will wrap the wire ourselves. No. 12 wire will definitely be enough." use."

This project is not small, it basically needs a hundred cages, and the few people in my family can't make it through the year of the monkey?

After pondering for a while, Liu Qingshan went to the house of Zhang Jizi in the village.

Chapter 79 Unexpected Reunion

This Zhang Shuzi, four or five years older than Liu Qingshan, is just in his early twenties, because he was left-handed since he was a child, so he got this nickname.

This guy is notoriously handy. Every winter, he uses sorghum stalks and bamboo sticks to make a beautiful and useful birdcage, which is specially used to roll the sparrows.

The birdcages he made were layer upon layer, just like ancient palaces, Liu Qingshan reckoned that making this kind of chicken cages would definitely be a no-brainer.

Zhang Jizi has not yet married, and he is considered an older youth in the village. The main reason is that his family is too poor.

The situation in his family is exactly the opposite of that of the boss uncle: he gave birth to seven little eggs in one breath, and finally exhausted his old mother to death, and even his father was all manly.

This is almost catching up with the old Yang's family in the Yang family's generals. An old Linggong leads seven sons.

Seven sons, that is seven wolves, it's no wonder they don't eat poor?

Because of poverty, Zhang Chunxiao, Zhang Shuzi's eldest brother, is in his twenties and has no one to introduce him to. Their family is a standard bachelor family.

Zhang Jizi was the second in the family, Liu Qingshan yelled outside the gate: "Is the second brother at home?"

Soon a brain melon seed was drilled out of the warehouse, and he responded with a smile: "Qingshan, what are you doing?"

Zhang Shuzi has a big brain, small eyes, and a mouth full of small sesame teeth. He always likes to smile, and it is quite joyful to look at.

Liu Qingshan told him about the situation, and showed Zhang Shuzi the sketch, and then he was dragged into the warehouse.

On the floor of the barn was a bundle of sorghum straw, and there was a semi-finished birdcage beside it, and two large cages were hung on the beams, and there were a few sparrows in it, jumping around.

These sparrows are all bred in previous years, with a little red on their foreheads, and a few of them have bright red bellies, very beautiful.

The middle-aged and middle-aged people in the village call this kind of bird "Old Youzi".

In a few days, after the first snow falls in November, the Suques will fly over in groups from the north.

At that time, hang this kind of birdcage filled with old grease on the tree, and those new sparrows will take a look.

Oh my god, the guys inside are eating and drinking, the little days are so beautiful, so they fell into the rolling cage like a dumpling.

It doesn't take much trouble at all, and you can catch a lot.

I saw Zhang Shuozai holding a sickle head in his hand, three times, five divisions, and in just over ten minutes, a large flat chicken coop was pierced.

The ratio is basically one to one, except that the materials are made of sorghum straw and bamboo chips, the rest are exactly the same as Liu Qingshan's design.

Zhang Jizi also took out an egg from the small box hanging in the barn and put it in the cage to demonstrate:

"Qingshan, there is a little problem with the design of your cage. The slope is a bit small, and the eggs are not very willing to roll backwards, and they may be crushed by the hen. I will help you adjust the angle."

"Second brother, your skills are amazing!"

Liu Qingshan was also really convinced and couldn't help giving a thumbs up.

"It's you who designed this picture well!"

Zhang Xiaozi also praised, and grinned, showing his sesame teeth, and continued:

"Actually, there is no need to weld the outer iron frame. We use No. 12 iron wire for the frame, and No. 10 iron wire for the other frames. The lower part should be denser. It is best to use No. [-] iron wire, so that chicken feet will not leak down when stepping on it."

"Second brother, if you do it, you can make a few a day."

"Five or six is ​​fine."

"Okay, then when I buy the wire, I'll leave it to you to make it. A chicken coop costs [-] cents, and I'll make a hundred of them first!"

"How much, a hundred?"

"Yes!"

Isn't that 50 yuan!Zhang Jizi was startled, and his small eyes immediately widened, rounder than a rooster's eyes.

Isn't this the end of tidying up Qiu'er, so the father asked a matchmaker to introduce a match to his elder brother Zhang Chunxiao.

The woman is from the forest guard brigade, and the father is also a village accountant. He has good conditions, good temper, and good looks.

The only problem is that the woman is a little on tiptoe. It is said that she got muscle injections when she was a child and stuck to the sciatic nerve.

Cooking and working have no effect at all, except that when walking, I limp a little, which looks indecent.

His elder brother was also very happy, but the woman made a request: the daughter has bad legs and feet, so she wants to buy a bicycle instead.

This request is very normal, but their old Zhang family doesn't have the spare money, so his father said to the matchmaker: "My family is the least willing to hear the jingle of bicycle bells, because my family is already poor."

As a result, the matchmaker passed over there to learn how to speak, and the marriage almost fell through, and now it is still hanging there, which made his brother sigh all day long and lose his energy.

Now 50 yuan is dropped from the sky all of a sudden, and you can borrow some money here and there. There is really hope for bicycles!

The more Zhang Jizi thought about it, the more excited he became, he grabbed Liu Qingshan:

"Come on, I'll follow you to the supply and marketing agency to buy wire!"

The amount of wire that needs to be purchased is not a small amount. Zhang Jizi directly put on his old ox cart, and walked slowly to the commune.

"Qingshan, can our greenhouse vegetables really make money?"

The two were sitting in the car, chatting while walking, and Zhang Bizi couldn't help asking out the biggest doubt in his heart.

These days, the brothers in their family put all their attention in the shed.

The youngest, six and seven, seven and nine years old, pull weeds in the shed after school, and there is not a single weed in the field.

His elder brother, staring at the thermometer all day long, would immediately start ventilating the shed as soon as the temperature in the shed was slightly higher.

Looking at the past few days, the young seedlings have emerged, and the celery seedlings and leek seedlings are all green and green. They are happy to see them, and they start to worry about the sales again.

These seedlings are the hope of their whole family!

Liu Qingshan comforted with a smile: "Second brother, don't worry, our vegetables will definitely be the emperor's daughter when the time comes, so you don't have to worry about marrying them."

Only then did Zhang Jizi feel more at ease in his heart: "The emperor's daughter, of course, is not worried about marrying, but my family is full of bachelors, but I am worried about marrying a daughter-in-law."

Talking and laughing, they walked for more than an hour before they arrived at the commune.

From a long distance, when you see a sea of ​​people, you will be short of the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers.

"What kind of holiday is it today?"

Zhang Shuzi also jumped out of the car quickly, holding the rein of the old cow so as not to hit anyone.

"It seems that there is no festival, maybe there is some activity?"

Liu Qingshan also looked forward, and gradually saw several military green Liberation vehicles with big speakers on the roof, playing something.

Gradually approaching, it was discovered that the Great Liberation Vehicle was driving slowly, and all the vehicles on the vehicle were soldiers in green uniforms with submachine guns on their shoulders.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is not these soldiers, but the prisoners they escorted.

It turned out to be a parade!

Liu Qingshan finally understood that street parade was also a feature of this period. Looking at the big signs in front of the criminals, all of which were painted with a dazzling red cross, Liu Qingshan suddenly felt moved.

I don't know what happened to Gangzi and Brother Fei in Chuncheng, will it be affected?

Seeing that Zhang Jizi was still looking at him with great interest, Liu Qingshan dragged him away quickly.

When the two of them came to the supply and marketing cooperative, they almost bought out the supply and marketing cooperative's wires of several thicknesses.

Fortunately, iron products don't need tickets, otherwise, Liu Qingshan really has no place to get them.

Liu Qingshan bought a few more pliers, because Zhang Shuzi said that the third, fourth, and fifth children in his family can also follow suit.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Liu Qingshan reminded again: "Second brother, when my batch is finished, you'd better use the winter slack time to make some and keep it."

"What's the use of doing so much, my family doesn't raise chickens?"

Zhang Shuzi couldn't make the turn for a while.

"In the future, there will definitely be more and more chickens raised on a large scale."

Liu Qingshan knew the situation of Zhang Jizi's family, and he didn't mind showing him ways to earn some extra money.

"I see, but... But I don't have money to buy wire or something?"

Zhang Handi scratched the back of his head, it's really difficult for a man without money.

He just saw that Liu Qingshan spent less than 100 yuan to buy wire.

"Wait until my batch is finished first, then I will lend you the capital, but don't tell outsiders."

Liu Qingshan is simply a good person and does it to the end, not for anything else, Zhang Jizi is a nice person, very down-to-earth, he even helped Liu Qingshan tie up a bird cage before, which left a happy memory in his childhood.

Since I came to the commune, of course I had to go to the post office to see if there were any letters or something, and then take the village newspaper back.

If you wait for the postman at the Post Office, it will be delivered once in ten days and a half a month, which is not bad.

In the past few months, Liu Qingshan has also developed the habit of reading newspapers. When reading newspapers, he can verify the things in his mind with the newspapers, and he can see more things than others.

When I arrived at the post office, there were indeed several letters, all of which belonged to my eldest brother-in-law, and were letters from readers forwarded by Harvest magazine.

The eldest brother-in-law's first work "Xiaofeng" under the pen name of Gao Shan has been published in this issue of Harvest.

There have been letters from readers so soon, and it seems that the response has been good.

Liu Qingshan was also very happy in his heart, because the elder brother-in-law was getting closer and closer to real success.

At this time, I suddenly heard someone asking the staff behind the iron railing: "Comrade, how can I get to Jiapigou?"

The voice sounded a bit familiar, Liu Qingshan turned his head abruptly, and saw two familiar figures, and couldn't help showing joy in his eyes.

I was still thinking about them just now, and after thinking about it, they appeared in front of my eyes, which was a bit of a surprise.

He was about to yell, but after thinking about it, he held back, lowered his head and walked towards the two of them, and when he passed by, he pulled them secretly.

Many people in the post office turned their heads and looked towards the door when they heard the question.
