The fairy of space also farms

Chapter 19 Delicious Goat Milk

If you just raise sheep and do nothing else, life is still very leisurely, at least in the morning.However, Xu Ning has already started digging the land under Xu Jingshan's guidance. He wants to grow vegetables and grass, so at least he doesn't have to go to the street to buy vegetables.A variety of grass, so that when the crops grow up, his sheep will have feed.Xu Ning also plans to expand the size of the sheep flock. He is going to find Master Wu who sells mutton. He knows a lot of people who raise sheep, so he must know where there are sheep for sale.

This morning Zhang Xiuzhi came over, and Xu Ning was digging the ground on the hillside in front of the house with Xun Xu.Zhang Xiuzhi wanted to laugh when she saw her nephew and Xun Xu turning over the ground. The ground was not three inches thick. It was like a scholar embroidering flowers. There are very few young people who are willing to farm the land like this: "Ning, what are you doing digging the land?"

Xu Ning said, "I'm going to plant some ryegrass and corngrass, so that the sheep will have grass to eat. Auntie, are you okay?"

Zhang Xiuzhi waved at Xu Ning, Xu Ning walked over, Zhang Xiuzhi lowered her voice and said, "Do you still remember my in-law Wan Jingui?"

Xu Ning nodded: "I remember. What happened to him?" Wan Jingui is his uncle's neighbor. He used to be a well-known poverty-stricken household in the village. The couple were in poor health and had many children, but in the end only one son remained At that time, in order to make this son easy to support, he also recognized his uncle Xu Jingshan as his godfather, and finally he was lucky enough to grow up.That child was three or four years older than Xu Ning, and they often played together when they were young.

Zhang Xiuzhi nodded and smiled wryly: "It's like this. My godson Wan Ming just married his wife last year and gave birth to a son two months ago. But his daughter-in-law just gave birth to a difficult child and passed away. Poor boy, Wan Ming has no ability. His father-in-law came to make trouble several times and lost a lot of money. Now he can’t even afford milk powder. Your Aunt Yunchun will make some rice noodles for the child to eat. It's two months old, skinny, and looks really pitiful. I thought you've got lambs here, see if there's any more milk, and get some for the baby to drink."

"It sounds pretty miserable. Do you want goat's milk? There should be some. I'll milk some for you." Xu Ning said as he put down his hoe, washed his hands and went to get a basin to milk the milk.There are still people who die in childbirth these days, isn't it too careless, pity the mother and child.

Xu Ning thought that there were two or three ewes who gave birth to only one lamb, so it should be okay to squeeze some for the children to drink.He had never milked a cow before, but when he was in school, he went to other people's farms as an intern and saw cows being milked.He hugged a ewe, washed the nipples with water, and tried to milk the ewe. At first, he had no skills and made the ewe bleat.Zhang Xiuzhi couldn't bear to see it.Xun Xu was even more entertaining from the sidelines.

But Xu Ning was clever, and soon found a solution. The warm goat's milk flowed into the basin, exuding a milky smell, as well as a faint smell of goat.Xu Ning grabbed three ewes that gave birth to only one, squeezed each ewe a little, and gathered half a pot of milk: "Auntie, it's not a lot, let's give it to the children first, and then squeeze it tomorrow." Give these three ewes more space water and space grass so that they can produce more milk.

Zhang Xiuzhi said happily: "Enough is enough, this goat's milk is better than rice noodles anyway, I'll take it first."

Xu Ning said: "See if the child eats it. If he does, you can ask Aunt Yunchun to come over by herself tomorrow." It's not sweet at all, and has a bit of a smell. I don't know if the child will eat it.

"Okay. I'll go back first." Zhang Xiuzhi hurried back with half a pot of milk.

Xu Ning asked behind him: "Auntie, let them boil this milk and drink it after boiling."

In the afternoon, Xu Ning led Xun Xu to herd the sheep and sent them to the field, and then he came back and continued digging.Although that guy Xun Xu is big and strong, he has no way to do the job of digging the ground. It's just digging randomly, and he doesn't like it very much.

He was turning over the ground when someone came up the hillside with a bag and a basin in his hand. When he saw Xu Ning, he smiled and said hello: "Ning Ning, you are digging the soil." It was Xu Ning's little boy who called The person who called him by his nickname so kindly, besides his parents, many people in the village also called him by that name, with a little intimacy and a little respect.

As soon as Xu Ning turned his head, he saw Wan Jingui's wife, Liu Yunchun: "Yes. Auntie is you."

Liu Yunchun said: "Thank you so much today. My grandson loves your goat milk very much. After drinking it, I won't cry."

Xu Ning laughed: "Really, that would be great. When the sheep come back at night, I will squeeze some more for you."

Liu Yunchun is a very simple and honest rural woman. Hearing what Xu Ning said, she thanked her again and again: "That's too hard for you. How can you be so embarrassed. Ning Ning, this is an egg laid by my own chicken. Don't dislike it. "

Xu Ning waved his hand: "You're welcome, Auntie. I also have eggs here, which are given by my uncle's house."

Liu Yunchun still insisted on putting the eggs in Xu Ning's house. When he came back, he saw a hoe in the field, which was used for order finding and was confiscated in the field.Liu Yunchun quickly took it over quickly with his hands and feet, and helped Xu Ning turn the ground.Xu Ning quickly said: "Auntie, you don't need to dig, I'll just dig it slowly by myself. If you have something to do, you can go back and do your work."

"It's okay, there's no work to do at home right now. Your Uncle Jin Gui didn't go to work today, and he's taking care of the kids at home." Liu Yunchun said while digging. The soil is faster and better than Xu Ning's.

Xu Ning was a little strange: "Where does Uncle Jin Gui work?"

Liu Yunchun said, "It's the plastic factory by the river."

"What are you doing?" Xu Ning asked.

Liu Yunchun is also a very straightforward person. He said like pouring beans into a bamboo tube: "Help pick up the bags. It costs 30 yuan a day and does not include meals. I used to do it there. Later, when my daughter-in-law came back to have a baby, I took it there. I quit my job. That job was sloppy, but it was better than sitting at home, and it was a little bit of work for a day. We are incapable people, unlike your uncle, who can grow whatever they want. My family planted taro this year , Your uncle’s house sells 5000 yuan per mu, but we don’t even get 2000 yuan per mu. We have to do the work again, and we have spent all the money on fertilizers and pesticides, but we can’t make much money. We have never been lucky in our lives. Not good." People of this generation attribute everything to fate.

Liu Yunchun continued: "A few days ago, the machines in the factory broke down for some reason, and they couldn't work anymore. Your Uncle Jingui came back to rest, and the boss still owes him half a month's wages. Ningning, are you okay? There is still a lot of land to be dug. I heard from your aunt that if you want to turn over the original land of your house to plant corn and grass, then there are several acres and you haven’t dug it yet. I call you Uncle Jingui Come to help, he has nothing to do at home anyway."

Xu Ning quickly waved his hand and refused: "No need, Auntie, I will dig it myself, and then I will call the plow machine to turn it over."

Liu Yunchun said: "It doesn't cost money to call the plow machine? Besides, you still have to go and repair the plow machine yourself. Don't worry, your uncle Jingui will definitely be willing to do it. When I am free, Also come over to help you dig. There are many people, and the digging will be quick."

How dare Xu Ning accept such a favor, and refused repeatedly.Liu Yunchun said, "You don't want our help, and I'm too embarrassed to ask for your goat's milk."

Xu Ning thought for a while, and then said: "Okay. Uncle will help me dig the ground, and I will count the wages for him. I can't afford to pay more, 50 yuan a day."

When Liu Yunchun heard that he wanted to give money, he quickly said loudly: "Then how can we ask for money? We are helping each other. You kid, you just came back and haven't made any money yet. Why are you spending money so lavishly?"

Xu Ning smiled: "I don't want money, and I'm too embarrassed to ask my uncle to help. Let's each give back a little, 50 yuan a day, nothing more, and have dinner at my house at noon. If uncle agrees, he will come to help me dig the ground tomorrow." "The people who came to help me repair the house two days ago, the small workers are 100 yuan a day. I heard from my uncle that in winter, the boss comes to collect taro and invite people from the village to work. It is also 50 yuan a day. Of course, Only those who work very hard can be invited to work. He pays [-] yuan a day, which is already a very low salary.

Liu Yunchun thought for a while: "Okay then, my old man will definitely come."

In the evening Xu Ning went to squeeze half a pot of goat milk, put it in a bottle, and sent it to Wan Ming's house.He hadn't been to Wan Ming's house for many years, and his house had also been rebuilt, but it was only a one-story house with three rooms on one floor, and the interior was not decorated much, it was very simple.Wan Ming was not at home and had gone out to work. Wan Jingui and his wife saw him coming, they were extremely enthusiastic, serving tea and tea on chairs, and kept busy.

It was the first time Xu Ning saw Wan Ming's son. The baby was thin and thin. He was only two months old, and he looked good. Unfortunately, he was so young and his life was not good. He lost his mother when he was born.Liu Yunchun boiled the milk and put it in a bottle for him to drink. The little guy pouted happily, eating happily.Xu Ning had an idea that it would be great to raise more sheep and produce more goat milk in the future, so that more children could drink goat milk.Specifically, what kind of sheep produces more milk, and where can I buy it, but Xu Ning's eyes are darkened, and he will call and ask Master Wu.

After returning, Xu Ning charged his mobile phone, turned it on, and found that countless messages flooded in, and the phone was about to explode.When Xun Xu heard the phone ringing, he was shocked, and looked at Xu Ning holding something the size of a palm in his hand, what is it?

Xu Ning clicked on the message box, and there were a total of [-] unread messages in it, most of which were sent by Wang Xiaodong, a few were sent by his doctoral supervisor, and some were sent by his lawyer. Brothers and students who have a good relationship with him sent them, and one of them was sent by Gao Ya.

Xu Ning looked at the message, hesitated and clicked on it. The elegant message reads like this: "I've packed up all the things you put here, do you want more?"

Xu Ning thought about it, what else did he put in her place, it was nothing more than some books or something he bought for her, he hesitated for a while, and replied: "No, please deal with it all drop, thanks."

The doctoral supervisor's message was to ask him to call back quickly, but the message was four days ago, so I don't know if it would be useful to call now.The lawyer's message is to ask him some documentary evidence questions and ask him to call back.The messages from fellow teachers and students were nothing more than words of surprise and comfort. Another student told him that the post on the school forum had been deleted, and it didn't matter whether the messages were answered or not.

Wang Xiaodong's message was a whole paragraph of apology and confession, written so densely that Xu Ning didn't have the patience to read it. A big mistake has been made. What's the use of apologizing? He asked for his forgiveness, just to feel better. That's all, he is so uncomfortable, why should he, the perpetrator, be comfortable?
