Professor Song was originally scheduled to come back in mid-November, but before he could come back with his students and their families, it was already December.
The temperature this winter is really cold. Every time the temperature drops, it comes unexpectedly and takes a sharp turn.
In December, when this warm winter is becoming more and more common, the first snow may not have fallen in previous years, but in Yunqiao Village, the voices of Dabai and Gomei scolding each other early in the morning can even be heard through several hills.
Without him, the pond is frozen.
The ducks routinely go to the pond in groups, and the withered yellow grass blades have the cool and crisp feeling of frost. When they step on the grass with the soles of their feet, the broken flowers on the ground gradually melt into the soil.
The ducks stared at the pond and watched Dabai step on the ice and then turn around, and they couldn't help but feel confused.
Just...it's frozen, what else can they play with during the day?
The pond was empty and the fishing guys couldn't stand the sharp drop in temperature. As early as yesterday when signs appeared on the ice, they hurried home to update their equipment and recharge their batteries.
The ducks looked around blankly, and finally swung their paws and returned to the duck shed, squeezing together and quacking, which was really noisy.
Qiao Qiao came over with a bucket to feed the ducks. His nose and ears were all red from the cold, but he must be a child who is not afraid of the cold. He decided not to wear a hat anyway!
There is no down jacket in the house, so you just mentioned it. Outside the village, a jacket is more practical for working in winter...and that thing has a thermal layer, so it cannot be worn in spring, autumn and winter...
Chickens love to rake the ground, and there was no vegetable patch where we played. It was so hard to dig out every grass seed and vegetable leaf!
——You are already wearing long johns, what hat do you need to wear?
The reason why Pan Zhenxing came to Zhang Yanping's new house was because Lao Xu handed over the room the day after tomorrow, but the house was as empty as the dormitory down the mountain.
It's easy to talk with my mouth, but my face is full of longing——
Qiao Qiao nodded and said, "Will we continue to lay eggs when we go here? Will we lay eggs outside the reeds? Will it be difficult to find them?"
Over there, Zhang Yanping also received a call from the little boy Hongmei:
So Song Tan's contact sent furniture and appliances, but no one was waiting outside for delivery and installation!
By the way, I took a bag of chestnuts from the freezer, and got some sweet potatoes from the cellar... wasn't that just a by-passing thing?
When the mountains on both sides are discussed, the sheep will run down the mountain and the space will be free to discuss the pig pen.
Who knows? As a serious restaurant owner, the biggest problem I face every day is not having customers but food.
When I got back, I chirped to Song Tan: "Sister, is the duck shed too small? Can you build a new, bigger one for them next year?"
And Qiao Qiao was also concerned about getting an answer.
Cheap and affordable!
Xin Jun directly exposed me: "But this room next to the kitchen cannot be used to warm the fire!"
Next to him, Xin Jun couldn't help but laugh, and quickly turned over the sweet potatoes under the stove: "I told him to open the chestnut opening a little smaller, he must be lazy... What? This guy's brain just broke down, it tastes good, right?"
.”
Song Tan:......
The front mountain is full of trees and shrubs. If the surrounding area is smaller, there will be more than enough space.
Song Youde picked up the chestnuts with a sad look on his face: "You opened the shells. If he can't eat them, don't eat them!"
Oh my God, it’s worth tens of thousands of dollars!
My sister-in-law instantly became happy.
Then he started to worry again: "Is it so hot? We have a way to go out and play. Will we be depressed or sick?"
My sister-in-law thought about the bargain she had picked up, and she was not upset at the moment. But after thinking about it again, the old man's new house was damaged, and Tantan paid for it all. You can always just buy the air conditioner, refrigerator, and washing machine, right?
Pigs can be used anywhere, but the number behind the pasture is good or bad. Anything less would be bad——
After all, collecting duck eggs is really slow and fun!
That was when the house was built. Considering that the villagers would come to visit, the living room in the villa was too small to facilitate chatting, so a large room was specially set aside!
Originally, there were more and more duck eggs before the temperature dropped, but now we pick up 20 eggs a day. It is summer, and there is less storage in autumn. The boss often comes over to cry for a while.
Even with the rain and dew, I slowly thought of another question:
So he gritted his teeth and said, "Buy him another TV!"
"Where are the chickens? Where are the pigs? Can we live by the river?"
I understand, it means having enough to eat, drink, wear, and have something to do, and the feeling of focusing on the countryside is over.
"Oh, by the way, buy less. Master Jiang and Professor Song's family members will also have some prepared later."
Every morning and afternoon, as long as the fire is lit, the room will be quickly warm, clean and comfortable within ten minutes. Aunt Lianhua now does all her work in that room.
Since the onset of winter, the stove has been broken during the day, and something is always simmering under it. In addition, the small pot of meat and bones for the dogs has been moved from the kitchen to that room.
Why do older children have so few questions? You are tired of answering.
…
Moreover, some more will be hatched in the spring.
Over there, Song Tan had no plans: "If he is not free today, go and tell Brother Wu Lei to disinfect first. In two days, we will go directly to the pasture with Xiaobai and Duck to destroy it."
The owner of Youran Vegetable Garden next door, his brother-in-law, Daba's brother-in-law, and the waiters sat together in the empty and lonely hall. Seeing that the opposite side became busy again early in the morning, he was so sad that he almost bit his handkerchief!
With your calculations like this, you know it was a coincidence. Song Youde, who was huddled in Zhang Yanping's new house, said "ouch" and his forehead was hit by an exploding chestnut under the stove.
When Song Tan said those words, he looked at the white air puffing out from behind his eyes, sighed and frowned: "It's so hot this winter - Qiao Qiao, do you think Brother Yan Ping knows anyone who sells clothes? How many orders can the whole family order?"
Come and wear ten sets of jackets, you pay for them."
But with just a little improvement, if there is a duck shed next door, it will be much worse than the pond.
Is that reasonable?
There is no pasture planted on the river bank yet, but we can be asked to go over there and plow the ground.
The area is small, less than 30 square meters, but there are tables and chairs, snacks and fruits, and a small iron stove in the middle, with a pipe running across it——
We originally planned to expand the scale of raising ducks here. In the winter, the cattle and sheep here will not have a stove to keep them warm - of course the temperature will be too low. Is it like raising cattle in a greenhouse?
"Dad, when the house was built, did he also treat him to wine? I also told you... Oh! If I had known, you would have bought a refrigerator and air conditioner during Double Eleven! Even though the events nowadays are fake, it can still be a hundred percent cheaper.
One yuan is enough for your family to eat several meals..."
At the same time, he sighed again: "Everything in the small villa is broken. It doesn't have an extra stove, but it always feels tasteless."
"It's possible," Song Tanhao said sympathetically: "Chickens are suitable for outside the mountains. Next year we will expand the scale and run all over the mountains and plains in front of us."
