Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

When Zheng Xiaoman arrived home, he saw an old lady in her fifties sitting in the yard. Her hair was a little gray, but she looked in good spirits.

Hearing the sound, Old Mrs. Zhou turned around.

"Hello, grandma." Zheng Xiaoman looked at the kind old lady with a sweet smile on her face.

In my memory, her grandma and grandpa were also very kind to her. Every time she went to her grandma's house, her grandma would secretly give her food.

There are no girls among my grandmother’s grandchildren, but all the grandchildren in my two uncles’ families are boys.

"Hey, my dear granddaughter, come and let grandma see you."

Old Mrs. Zhou looked at her little granddaughter and felt so distressed.

Zheng Xiaoman put down the backpack and walked to his grandmother.

Old Mrs. Zhou held her in her arms and patted her back gently, "My Xiaoman has suffered."

"Hey, grandma, I'm not suffering. Look, I'm fine now."

Old Mrs. Zhou was about to cry. She had just heard a few days ago that her daughter's family was forced to split up, and her little granddaughter was almost forced to jump into the river by her aunt.

Thinking that her little granddaughter almost died, she still feels so heartbroken.

Their village is not far from here. When she knew about the accident, she wanted to come over, but was stopped by her husband.

This is someone else's family affair, and their parents shouldn't interfere too much.

And they mainly wanted to see how their in-laws would handle the matter. If that didn't work out, they would bring their daughter's family back to live with them.

Later, her daughter wrote her a letter saying that everything was fine at home and asked her to help hatch the chicks. Only then did she feel relieved.

The land at home had been harvested these days, and she couldn't wait any longer, so she rushed over directly.

"By the way, grandma, can you bring the chicks over for me?"

"Haha, yes, grandma brought over a dozen chicks this time. But it's getting cold now, I'm afraid we won't be able to feed the chickens."

Zheng Xiaoman had already thought of a solution. When she went up the mountain to dig vegetables, she saw a lot of earthworms.

She had seen people raising earthworms before. These earthworms are similar to rabbits. They can lay eggs in more than 30 days, and then hatch small earthworms.

Get some moist soil and put some rotten leaves in it. As long as you maintain a good breeding temperature, earthworms are easy to keep alive.

When she expressed her idea, Zheng Qingming thought it was a good idea.

There are earthworms everywhere in the mountains near their river. If they can raise them, the chickens at home will not have to worry about having nothing to eat in winter.

"Xiao Man, this is a good idea. I'll leave the task of catching earthworms to you, brother."

Zheng Xiaoman thought it would take some time to persuade her brother, but she didn't expect him to agree so immediately.

"Okay, then I'll get the earthworms' nest out first."

Old Mrs. Zhou looked at her two children chatting with each other, all of which were about daily life, and she felt very happy.

Although my son-in-law's legs are not good, the children in the family are all fine.

As long as her daughter can get through these few years, she won't have to work so hard when the children grow up.

In the afternoon, Zheng Qingming went to the river to dig earthworms. Zheng Xiaoman filled a large wooden basin with wet soil from the river at home and put some rotten leaves from the mountain in it.

After Zheng Qingming caught the earthworms, the brother and sister put them in a wooden basin.

Zheng Xiaoman watched the earthworms quickly burrow into the soil and said, "Brother, let's try this pot first. If it works, we can dig a bigger hole in the backyard."

"Well, let's see if the earthworm is still alive in a few days."

Thinking of the acorns she had soaked before, Zheng Xiaoman ran to the bucket to take a look.

The acorns have been soaked in water since they were picked up, and she comes to change the water every day.

"Brother, let's boil this bucket of acorns."

Although Zheng Qingming felt that this thing was definitely not edible, since his sister refused to give up, he had no choice but to go to the kitchen and light the fire.

Zhou Chunfeng watched her son spoil her little girl, raised her hand and patted her daughter, "Just order your brother around all day long."

Zheng Xiaoman giggled foolishly, and Zheng Qingming raised his head with a smile, "It's okay, mom. As long as my sister likes it, it's fine. I'm fine anyway."

"Chengcheng, just spoil her. With her temper, you will spoil her sooner or later."

Zheng Xiaoman hugged his mother's arm unconvinced, "I won't do that, right, brother."

"Haha, yes, my sister is the most well-behaved and capable."

Zheng Qingming is a typical sister-con, but there is no such term nowadays.

Zhou Chunfeng couldn't bear to look at her son's look, so she turned around and left the kitchen.

She let her brother cook in the kitchen and ran to the backyard to see the dozen or so chicks that her grandmother brought.

The chick is still very small, and its yellow feathers look very soft.

"Grandma, are all these chicks hatched at home?"

Mrs. Zhou smiled and nodded, "Well, originally our family had no plans to hatch chicks recently, but your mother sent someone to tell them, so I left some behind on purpose."

Zheng Xiaoman likes these chicks very much. When the chicks grow up, they can lay eggs and the eggs can hatch chicks.

She will raise a lot of chickens in the future, and she will never be able to collect all the eggs every day.

After looking at the chickens, she took her grandmother to see the three pigs she fed.

The bigger one was the one brought from my grandfather's house, and it looks to weigh about 100 pounds now.

The other two are still very small, but they are also very plump.

Recently, these pigs have been eating sweet potato leaves and wheat bran, and their heads are growing faster and faster.

My grandparents didn’t take the sweet potatoes they had dug up home because they were afraid that my uncle and his family would see them.

The fewer people who know that sweet potatoes are edible, the better. I will open up a few more plots of land on the mountain next spring and grow them at home for two years first.

Old Mrs. Zhou looked at the piglets in the pigpen and praised them, "These pigs are really well raised. This big one will weigh more than 200 kilograms by the end of the year."

"Hehe, I think so. It eats so much every day. If it doesn't grow to 200 kilograms, it will be a big loss."

The pigs of this era were not like those in later generations, which could grow to several hundred kilograms.

Nowadays, it is considered good if a pig grows to more than 100 kilograms. It is rare to see one that can grow to more than 200 kilograms.

"Next spring, grandma will catch two more for you to raise."

"That's great, grandma. My mom doesn't want me to raise a baby because she says it's a waste of food."

"Your mother is worried about you and doesn't want you to be too tired."

If a family raises four or five pigs, the amount of pig food they eat every day is indeed not a small amount.

But since there is a mountain behind them, as long as they work hard, the pigs will not starve to death.

But the children will have to suffer, as they have to go to the mountains to cut grass for the pigs every day.

"Grandma, I'm not afraid of being tired. As long as life at home is good, it doesn't matter if I'm a little tired."

Old Mrs. Zhou hugged her little granddaughter with satisfaction. The child is now so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

"Xiao Man, just get through these two years, and everything will be fine when you all grow up."

"I know grandma, I think it's good now. As long as the family is together, nothing else matters."

"Okay, okay, my Xiaoman has really grown up."
