Just when Cheng's father and Cheng's mother were worried that their son and daughter-in-law would have no money to eat when they returned to Beiguan, and planned to write to them to post money, Xu Yin drew a cake for Comrade Xiaojin on the train going north -
—
"Don't look at Beiguan now. When you mention it, you think it is Beidahuang where the wind and snow are raging and there are few people. In a few years, it will definitely become Beidacang, the envy of everyone. You can pinch the black soil and put a pair of chopsticks into it.
All sprouted..."
Cheng Shaojin looked at her and smiled: "My wife's dreams are so full."
Xu Yin: Does this mean that reality is very skinny?
With a determination to let Comrade Xiaojin see how fertile Beidacang is in the future, Xu Yin still devoted herself to the reclamation of Beidahuang even if the system has not released her the task of this small world.
trip.
As winter turns to spring, the new year's reclamation mission also presses the start button as the ice and snow gradually melt.
Just when Xu Yin was gearing up to increase the number of acres of land reclaimed last year, Captain Fu came to her to discuss raising chickens.
"Captain, are you saying that our reclamation team plans to raise some chickens this year to improve the food for the team members?"
"That's right." Captain Fu nodded, "You raised a few chickens last year, and none of them died during the Chinese New Year. They were quite strong and everyone was jealous. I think the foundation we have laid in the past two years is not bad, no.
If there is a shortage of wheat bran to feed the chickens, it is better to catch more chickens and raise them in the name of the land reclamation team. Everyone works together and takes turns cleaning the chicken coop and feeding the chickens like taking turns cooking. In this way,
You don’t have to raise it alone anymore, what do you think?”
not so good.
Xu Yinxin said.
She is not optimistic about big-pot farming.
For example, when we are on duty during the busy farming season, we often eat vegetables that have not been washed and rice that has not been rinsed clean - there are insects in the vegetable leaves and gravel in the rice noodles. This is what the team members on duty have to eat.
If you are so careless, then when it is your turn to cook for the chickens and clean the chicken coop, will you pay attention?
Maybe I thought the next person would clean the chicken coop and just scratched it a few times.
Everyone thinks this way, how dirty and smelly the chicken coop will be? Wait until the height of summer and ignore the dirty and smelly chickens, because the chickens may get sick.
Even for her, the reason why her chickens are healthy and not sick is because she feeds them a few meals of water mixed with spiritual dew.
Xu Yin shook her head: "Captain, raising chickens and cooking are not the same thing. I can make do with cooking on a rotating basis, but it is not easy to raise chickens. It is easy to get chicken plague. If you really want to raise chickens, select a few people to do it.
When you are responsible for raising chickens, you have the responsibility to do things well."
"this……"
Captain Fu was shaken when he said that he would free up a few people to raise chickens.
The main task of the reclamation team is to reclaim wasteland. If the main task is delayed for a few chickens, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse?
I originally thought about raising a few chickens, and everyone would take turns feeding and cleaning the chicken coop, just like cooking during the busy farming season. I was a little tired, but when the Chinese New Year comes, there will be chickens to eat, and everyone is happy to accept the hard work. But as follows
According to Xu Yin, raising chickens requires dedicated manpower, which seems to be a bit more costly than gain.
Xu Yin doesn't plan to raise chickens full-time. She has just set the goal of reclaiming wasteland and doesn't want to be tied up by raising chickens.
When everyone can have enough to eat in the future, we can put large-scale chicken farms on the agenda. It is not the time yet.
So she suggested: "Since we can't spare any manpower, we can raise the ones we want to raise ourselves, as long as we don't delay going to work. Just like me last year, I came back from work to clean up the chicken coop. I was a little tired, but during the Chinese New Year
If I have chicken to eat, I will enjoy this tiring meal as if it were sweet rice."
Captain Fu: "..."
Why did you still steal his lines?
But Xu Yin's words spoke to his heart.
He also thought about the cooking shifts during the busy farming season. Some team members were so tired after a day's work that they didn't want to move, so they were too lazy to cook. They washed the rice and poured it into the pot without picking out the gravel;
They are even too lazy to even wash the pot when cooking. Xu Yin and other female compatriots love to be clean. The dishes they wash and the meals they cook are delicious and hygienic. But just because they care about hygiene, they can't be left to do everything.
ah.
Especially Xu Yin, she is the team's pioneer in reclamation, and the whole team's hopes are pinned on her. Without her, there would be no reclamation record in the past two years.
As for other people, this is how they cook, let alone raise chickens...
Captain Fu put his hands behind his back and thought all the way back to his residence.
The team members who were waiting for him to make up his mind gathered around and asked:
"Captain, how are you thinking about raising chickens? The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and I see that some villagers have gone to the house to catch chickens. We can't fall behind."
"Yes, captain, if you are worried that we won't be able to raise them, then you can ask Xu Yin for guidance. She has raised a lot of them and has experience."
Captain Fu waved his hand: "I've thought about it. We'd better not focus on raising chickens. We don't have the energy. If you want to raise chickens, just follow Xu Yin's example and catch two chicks to raise. Whether you raise them well or not, it's up to you.
You are responsible for yourself. But one thing - you must not affect the progress of land reclamation! This year is the last year for the land reclamation team in Beiguan. I have repeatedly emphasized the land reclamation plan to you. Even if it cannot be more advanced than last year, it cannot be regressed. Who will be here?
Work hard at work and focus on raising chickens. Don’t blame me for writing harshly in your summary report, which will affect your future job arrangements."
"..."
As a result, the cautious team members completely gave up the idea.
Compared with being lazy and secretly reclaiming wasteland by raising chickens, of course the work after returning to Yuanshan County is more important, otherwise why come to Beidahuang to endure hardship?
But let them raise them by themselves. Firstly, they are young people from the city who don't know how to raise chickens. Secondly, they are tired enough after returning from work. Who has the energy to serve chickens every day?
Although the New Year's Eve chicken makes them greedy, the New Year has just begun and the Chinese New Year is still far away.
So after muttering for a while, they all said forget it. Anyway, the documents have been issued, and these young pioneers can go home by the end of the year.
In the end, Xu Yin was still the only one raising four chickens, one male, three females, and she was the only one who still had the energy to clean the chicken coop, mix chicken food, and be busy around the small fenced yard after returning from work.
Cheng Shaojin would come to the wasteland to accompany her every time he had a vacation, taking on tasks such as cleaning the house, cleaning up chicken manure, feeding the chickens, etc., and also learned how to cook. When Xu Yin came back from work, she didn't have to do anything but wash her hands and sit down to eat.
That's right, he always rushes to wash the dishes and clear the stove after meals, making the single girls and boys look at them with envy.
Fortunately, if they persist, they can go home at the end of the year, otherwise they would all want to find a companion here.
Huang Xiaohong said meaningfully: "What will Xu Yin do then? Should she follow the army back to Yuanshan County, or continue to stay here? After all, she is married, so it is not good to live in two places separately, right?"
Everyone was stunned: Yes, what will Xu Yin do then?
