Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

The night breeze was blowing, and you could faintly hear the shouts of people playing cards in the canteen.

You have to shout when you win money, and you have to shout when you lose money. Anyway, you always have to shout twice.

Xu Dajia.

The dim light casts a bright light on the Kang table, illuminating the chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork head meat, etc.

When we were done drinking, we started serving meat buns.

After finishing their meal and watching TV for a while, Xu Hu and Rong Chenglin both went home.

The moonlight was bright, and there were gradually the chirping sounds of small insects in the corner of the wall.

After Rong Chenglin returned home, he told his wife that Xu Dahai wanted to change land. His wife said:

"This...if it were anyone else, I would definitely not agree to it, but Xu Dahai often hunts with you, and we get a lot of money every time, so he can change it if he wants."

Time flies, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The vegetables in the back garden are all planted, and they are fluttering in the wind. They are slowly jumping upright. I believe it won’t be long before I can eat the vegetables grown in my own garden.

this half month.

Xu Dahai asked a few people to help him build a roe deer breeding farm, covering an area of ​​about half an acre. A one-and-a-half-meter-high wall was built around it with mud, and wooden sticks more than two meters long were inserted into the walls.

The roe deer breeding farm is half covered and half open-air. It is estimated that there will be no problem in raising 30 to 50 roe deer.

Of course, the number of roe deer is still small now. Counting the two more roe deer that Xu Dahai trapped in the past half month, there are only 3 roe deer in total now.

And they are all female roe deer.

"We have to find a way to recuperate a male roe deer so that they can give birth to cubs. Gradually, the number of roe deer will increase."

That evening, Xu Dahai walked slowly inside the roe deer farm, looking at the roe deer nearby and the gorgeous sunset, feeling particularly comfortable.

The reason for raising roe deer.

On the one hand, it is to make money.

On the other hand, it is also to find something to do. After all, he still likes to raise some animals.

of course.

He just wants to be the boss, and he is not willing to do the messy things like shoveling manure, cutting hay, feeding hay, drinking water, etc. by himself.

"If you have a chance, hire a blind man. Just give him some money."

In this era, farmers in Guanli also gave birth to many children, and many families only had ten or even a few acres of land.

After the sons get married, the land will be divided among them.

Then each household will have less land.

Some of them can't even eat corn pancakes, and they heard from relatives that there is a lot of land in the Northeast, so they eat white flour steamed buns, rice, etc. every day.

So I stopped staying at home and chose to run to the northeast and become a wanderer.

In addition to the roe deer breeding farm, half an acre of land has been set aside and several smaller pens have been built. As for whether to raise chickens, ducks, geese, or something else in the future, let’s talk about it later.

Xu Dahai carried a basket and a shovel on his back, and as soon as he returned home in the afterglow of the setting sun, he met Wang Xiuxiu coming back from the canteen.

She was holding a cardboard box with a smile on her face, and her daughter Xiaotingzi ran happily behind her.

"What are you so happy about?"

"There is a chicken seller at the canteen. They are selling very fast. I went there early and I just bought twenty chickens."

Xu Dahai glanced into the box and saw twenty yellow-haired chicks crowded together in the box. Their eyes were bright and energetic, and they kept chirping "chirp, chirp, chirp".

The cry was so clear that it attracted the big orange cat sleeping on the pile of firewood.

"Meow~"

"Stop meowing. These chicks are not for you to eat. They are raised so that they can lay eggs." Wang Xiuxiu said with a smile: "You big lazy cat, if you dare to eat the chicks, I will I’ll beat you up.”

"Are they all pullets?"

"No, 3 little roosters and 17 little hens." The smile on Wang Xiuxiu's lips showed a hint of pride:

"The chicken seller was not honest. He caught six or seven little roosters for me and lied to me that they were pullets.

I said how could it be a little hen? When I picked it up upside down, its head was pointed straight down without even tilting up. It was obviously a little rooster. "

Xu Dahai also smiled instantly.Wang Xiuxiu is very good at picking out chicks.

In addition to looking at the butt and picking it up upside down to see if it can do sit-ups, you can also tell whether it is a rooster or a hen by looking at the feathers on its wings.

There are two layers of feathers on the wings, one long and one short, which are the pullets.

If they are almost the same length, they are rooster cubs.

This is what Wang Xiuxiu told Xu Dahai before.

Silent all night.

The next day, Xu Dahai called all the villagers who helped build the roe deer farm, prepared fine wine and delicious food, and had a feast with everyone.

For example, when building a house or something, neighbors usually help each other without paying for anything. They just have a big meal at the beginning, a big meal at the end, and some home-cooked meals.

at night.

Xu Dahai said to Wang Xiuxiu, who was mending clothes: "Although the roe deer breeding farm has been built, there are only three female roe deer, and the number is still too small. This is not good."

"What should I do?"

Wang Xiuxiu bit the thread with her teeth, tied a knot skillfully, threaded the needle and thread, and continued to sew another gap.

These pants are often worn by Xu Dahai when running in the mountains. There are many bushes in the mountains, and it is easy to make a few cuts in the pants.

"I plan to buy a few packs of cigarettes and go to the village chiefs' houses in the surrounding villages. They will give each family a pack of cigarettes and use their village's loudspeaker to shout, telling them that we are buying live roe deer at a high price and we can catch any of them. Come and sell it to us."

"Ah, this is indeed a solution? Then how to calculate the money?"

"The price should be higher, otherwise the villagers will not be more enthusiastic about catching roe deer." Xu Dahai took a sip of wine and said:

"Just give me 2 yuan per catty. It would be best if you can get dozens of them."

Wang Xiuxiu nodded and agreed.

In the next few days, Xu Dahai kept running to other villages, buying a pack of cigarettes for the village chief of each village, saying a few nice words, and basically using the loudspeaker in their village casually.

Sometimes when it's time for dinner, the other party will warmly invite Xu Dahai to have dinner with him.

It wasn't that he was being polite, he really pressed his arm and asked him to sit next to the kang table, and gave him a big bowl of rice for him to eat together.

of course.

There is still some harvest in these days.

He bought a male roe deer, weighing 80 kilograms, which cost him 160 yuan. The old man who caught the roe deer had a face full of vicissitudes of life, and his family situation was not very good.

Save some money, this 160 yuan will allow his family to live quite well throughout 1985, so when he took the money, he grinned behind his ears.

Noon today.

After Xu Dahai came back from Laosongtun, he scooped some water and was washing his face when Wang Xiuxiu said: "Rong Chenglin came over just now and asked if our family wanted to buy dogs. He said that his brother-in-law Wang Aiguo wanted to sell the four dogs."

"Hunting dog!?" Xu Dahai became interested instantly.
