After finishing his work, Lu Lu returned to the wood carving room and lit the stove to boil water.
Seeing Lu Lu busy at work, Chen Xiuyu also followed behind. She was sent to the bedroom to rest by Lu Lu several times, but she could not sit still. After a while, she followed him out again and was extremely clingy.
Lu Lu couldn't dissuade her, so he ignored her and watched her help find a change of clothes. He also got three old enamel basins and burned three braziers with charcoal, making the bathroom warm.
.
Looking at his simple and inconvenient bathroom, Lu Lu wanted to get a big bathtub more and more.
Unfortunately, he never had the chance to go to Daqing to get wood, and he was busy with hunting. In a blink of an eye, winter would be completely over and the beginning of spring would come. The things he had been planning for a long time had not yet been completed, and he felt a little bit in his heart.
Guilt, at the very least, it is extremely inconvenient for Chen Xiuyu to use.
Under the warmth of the three braziers, Lu Lu took a comfortable bath, dried his hair, and then the couple returned to the kang to rest.
This time, Lu Lu put his ear against Chen Xiuyu's belly and listened to the baby's fetal heartbeat. He was kicked in the face by the little guy across the belly. He couldn't help but hold a lantern to observe carefully and saw that Chen Xiuyu had been stabbed on the belly.
The child's little movements made him squirm.
"The little guy is naughty, he must be a boy!" Lu Lu said with certainty.
"I think so, it's so noisy!" Chen Xiuyu's face was full of warmth.
"I want you to be naughty..." Lu Lu patted her gently one after another.
Seeing Lu Lu like this, Chen Xiuyu was amused and laughed happily.
The next day, he slept until he woke up naturally. When Lu Lu opened his eyes, he saw that the sky outside had changed and it was gloomy. It looked like there would be another snowfall.
Chen Xiuyu got up very early as usual, Ma Jinlan and Aunt Duan had already come over, and the three of them were sewing on the kang.
Seeing Lu Lu getting up, Chen Xiuyu put down her needle and thread and slowly slid down from the kang: "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"You have been working hard in the mountains for so many days and haven't had a good night's sleep. You are so tired. You deserve a good rest!" Aunt Duan said with a smile.
"I can't sleep anymore, I'm afraid you'll say I'm lazy!" Lu Lu said jokingly.
"In the entire Xiushan Village, anyone can be called lazy, but you can't be called lazy. Look at the village, how many old men and half-grown men sit on the kang all day long, eating, sleeping, and eating.
Yes, you still have to be taken care of, but no one is as good at everything at home as you are. I heard Xiuyu say that before we came here, you were the one doing the washing of dirty clothes.
Other men wouldn't do this. One set of clothes can be worn all winter long, and it will get rancid and smelly."
Aunt Duan looked at Chen Xiuyu and Lu Lu, who were already standing together naturally: "You two are both diligent and quick-footed people. You said this fate is so strange. Why are you so well matched?"
Ma Jinlan also looked at the two of them with a smile. She suddenly remembered something and quickly put down her needle and thread: "Uncle, are you hungry... The three of us have eaten and left noodles for you. I will cook them for you right away.
!”
"You guys sit on the kang, and I will do this little thing myself!"
Lu Lu quickly stopped Ma Jinlan and signaled Chen Xiuyu to go back to the kang to sit and rest. He went outside to grab some snow and washed his face, then returned to the kitchen and made himself a bowl of sour soup noodles.
Since Ma Jinlan and the others had already eaten, Lu Lu ignored them and ate on his own. He looked in the yard and found that there was still a lot of fodder for horses and deer, so he walked out of the snow.
I dug some sable and yellow sable meat from the mountains last time, cut them into several pieces, and fed them to the dogs and three lynxes lying in the dog shed.
The deer brought back at night.
When Lu Lu was walking outside the hospital, Chen Xiuyu also wore a bearskin coat and followed her: "Take a walk! Do a little exercise." She has developed the habit of walking.
"Together!" Lu Lu nodded and took Chen Xiuyu to see the deer first.
Seeing Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu approaching the small fence, the three deer were jumping in panic in the fence. After a night of recovery, they were in much better spirits.
The vegetable leaves and corns placed in the trough had been eaten up by the three deer. Seeing this, Lu Lu opened the door of the small fence and stepped back slightly. The three deer immediately rushed out from inside and scurried several times.
Go into the woods.
The number of deer has also increased to ten.
Later, he accompanied Chen Xiuyu to the depths of the meadow to see the deer and other deer. This winter, the supply of forage and food was sufficient. After a winter, instead of losing weight, he seemed to have gained some weight, and everything was in very good condition.
Free range breeding is the way to go!
If these wild animals are locked up and fed all day long, cleaning, cleaning and disinfecting the grounds will be troublesome, and they are easy to get sick. You don’t know how many times you have to call the veterinarian. It is not a small expense to rely on food all day long. It is better to let them outside, and there will be enough.
Activities and eating a variety of food are more suitable for the reproduction of wild animals.
The key is to be healthy and save trouble.
"Is there anything going on at home these days when I'm not here?" Lu Lu asked as he walked back.
"What can happen? Aunt Duan and my mother are at home. They don't let me do anything. Even food, drink and hay are all included. I don't have to do anything every day.
Most of the time I just go out and walk around the meadow every day.
Also, Father Zhao comes here from time to time three or four times every day. He is always inspecting the fence of Caodianzi. By the way, Father Zhao also shot a wolverine a few days ago... and touched it near Caodianzi.
When it came, Father Zhao said that this thing can eat deer and deer, so it should be for the deer and deer raised in the meadow.
You said you protected me so well, what could happen?"
Chen Xiuyu said, reaching out to hold Lu Lu's arm: "Brother Lu, can we eat dumplings tonight? It's been a long time since I've eaten the dumplings you made?"
"Okay, shall we eat pork stuffing or roe deer stuffing?"
"There are still a lot of dumplings stuffed with roe deer meat in the big vat, so there's no need to wrap them. They must be stuffed with pork and cabbage."
"no problem……"
The two were chatting when they heard a sound coming from the ridge. Lu Lu looked up and saw that it was Zhao Yongke.
He led Chen Xiuyu and walked outside: "Later, Brother Zhao and I are going to go to the farm to have a look. I don't know how the wood has been chopped during this time."
"It's not like you don't know that Yanzi's father is leading the work. He is an honest person, so why should you be worried?" Chen Xiuyu said with a smile.
"It's time to go take a look. The construction of the family farm is not a trivial matter. You can't be careless. When I come back, I'll make dumplings for you!" When Lu Lu said this, he reached out and rubbed Chen Xiuyu's head.
I pinched my fatter face.
Not long after Zhao Yongke was welcomed in, Liang Kangbo also arrived on horseback.
This is something we made an appointment with yesterday. First, we need to go to the farm to check on the progress. Furthermore, the furs we have harvested in the past twenty days also need to be processed.
After Lu Lu went to the underground cellar and added some coal to the earthen stove, he saddled up the manic Zhui Feng and rode on. The three of them went to Xiushan Tun together. They met Zhang Shaofeng and Chen Xiuqing and went to Meizigou of Xiangshui Creek Forest Farm to see.
Deer farm logging progress.
As Chen Xiuyu said, things went very smoothly under the leadership of Wang Dalong. The route of the fence was completely planned according to Lu Lu, and the wood needed for piling and nailing the fence was placed along the way.
For farming, tall trees are not needed. Instead, low bushes or secondary forests are needed to make it easier for deer to feed.
Therefore, collecting local materials can be regarded as sorting out. In this way, the materials for building a deer house are also available.
This time I saw with my own eyes that Big Nose really seemed like a different person. He was working very hard when partnered with Zhou Cuifen, who was big and round.
Zhou Fangjing was originally good at work. He was obsessed before, but now he is very practical when leading his newly married daughter-in-law.
A few militia brothers also participated, but they were just working properly.
He ran over and asked Lu Lu if he could join in. Like Zhou Cuifen and others, Lu Lu refused. He only told them that the contracted space was enough. If there was any expansion in the future, he would come back to discuss with them when necessary.
After looking at the specific situation and arranging things, they returned to Lu Lu's Caodianzi together.
In the next four days, all the energy of several people was devoted to oiling, cleaning and stretching the fur.
After all the busy work, I can finally rest for a few days.
On the same day, while having dinner together, Lu Lu explained the situation to several people: "In the next time, we are not planning to go into the mountains for the time being. The main energy will be spent on farm construction. Dispose of these things on hand, and we will get
The money is enough to maintain the operation of our farm in a short period of time. At the beginning of June, we will go to Bird's Nest Island. I will take you to get some wild geese to raise and raise them, and also take a good watering trip.
If nothing else goes wrong, my child will be born in July. During those one or two months, I will be at home with Xiuyu. Then it will be September, and we will go to lift the mallet once, and then it will be winter.
Hunting Red Wai.
This is probably how things are arranged.
During this period, I also hope that everyone can participate in the construction of the farm as much as possible. Do you have any opinions? Of course, we will also organize several activities to the mountains during this period to bring back more things to raise. What are your opinions?
No? Tell me everything!"
"So many things, just the two thousand acres of land on the farm, the things at home, plus hunting, you have arranged a whole year's affairs. I think it's quite a lot." Zhang Shaofeng thought for a while.
, smiled.
"Actually, this year, there aren't many things going on. I think you should focus on taking care of the children and Xiuyu. We will take good care of the farm. You just need to go over and take a look from time to time and give us some pointers.
!" Liang Kangbo said.
"I think the arrangement is pretty good!" Zhao Yongke nodded and said no more.
Chen Xiuqing scratched her head: "Brother Lu, don't forget about my house and my wedding... I plan to find a date with my husband tomorrow to set the wedding date, so you can come with me then."
"What a girl with a full head!" Lu Lu joked.
One sentence made everyone burst into laughter.
Chen Xiuqing also laughed foolishly.
That's how it was settled.
In the past few days, the sky has been hazy, and there have been two light snowfalls at night. It seems that the clouds show no sign of dispersing, and it is expected to snow again.
After Lu Lu slept for a day, he felt restless.
Thinking of what Jin Zhiquan left under the elm tree, Lu Lu thought about it and decided to take the opportunity to take a look.
In that situation, he was forced with a gun and said what he said without leaving any room for consideration. Lu Lu believed that what Jin Zhiquan said was true.
No matter what, Lu Lu felt that he needed to make a trip.
If there really is something, if we delay it for one more day, the thing buried under the elm tree will be more likely to fall into the hands of others.
Based on the way he colluded with the gangster, the things he got might be valuable. If someone else got it, it would be a big loss.
Even if it's just to get some interest back from my previous life.
