After spending three days with Chen Xiuyu at home, Lu Lu also took the time to visit the farm. Under the management of Zhang Shaofeng and others, things were proceeding in an orderly manner.
However, when he saw the hundreds of acres of wetland enclosed by fences, he felt really bad about the emptiness.
In the evening, Lu Lu returned home, finished changing and washing the children, and then went to the kitchen to prepare the evening meal.
After this period of recuperation, Chen Xiuyu could walk without any problems. The child slept soundly on the kang. She also got off the kang and did some simple activities in the house. When she saw Lu Lu working in the kitchen, she also followed in and watched from the side.
With.
In terms of diet, Lu Lu has always believed that nutrition is balanced and a little light is enough. It is not like what the elders say, you can’t eat this and you can’t eat that. Serving sugar-watered eggs every day is probably something that everyone will get tired of. Therefore, Lu Lu is very careful about what he eats.
, was prepared for Chen Xiuyu in various ways.
Confinement is meant to recuperate, and it is not good to make it feel like being in jail. Therefore, when the weather outside is sunny and warm and there is no wind, Lu Lu will also let Chen Xiuyu accompany her to go outside for some exercise.
Seeing Chen Xiuyu entering the kitchen, Lu Lu hurriedly chased her out: "There is a smell of fireworks and oil smoke inside. Get out quickly and wait outside..."
"I don't do anything all day long. I feel like I'm getting fat. Let me help you. I feel bad about seeing you working alone all the time!" Chen Xiuyu felt full of happiness for Lu Lu who was busy with everything.
Besides, there is also more pity.
"What are you talking about? During this month, no cold wind can blow, no cold water can be touched, and no work can be done. Giving birth is too harmful to the body. The body has not recovered and it is easy to get the root of the disease. Obey me... wait outside.
The food will be ready soon!" Lu Lu said, pushing Chen Xiuyu out of the house.
Of course, you can do nothing during confinement for a full month. In these days, few people in the surrounding villages can do it. Due to the pressure of life, many women get off the kang early and start taking care of the housework.
When he arrived at Lu Lu's place, he had this condition, so he naturally asked Chen Xiuyu to take good care of him.
Not long after, the meal was ready, including chicken stewed with mushrooms and venison in clear soup, both of which were nourishing and good. There were also two side dishes.
Lu Lu put the food on the table and gave Chen Xiuyu glutinous rice porridge that was easier to digest. Glutinous rice also has a very good effect on the recovery of the body, especially on the reshaping and recovery of the body shape.
With him personally taking care of it, Ma Jinlan and Aunt Duan would come over from time to time to visit, and then go home respectively. They themselves had matters to do in the fields, so they couldn't delay too much.
Wu Yuejia, Zhou Cuifen, Pu Guiying, Li Shumei and several militia brothers, including Meng Zhaohua's mother and sister, Jiang Zewei and his wife, etc. People who are familiar with them have come to see them, and they have brought a lot of brown sugar and eggs, just eggs.
Both received more than two hundred.
In order to have enough milk for the child, Chen Xiuyu also worked hard to make eggs with sugar water. When it came to the dinner table, she couldn't eat much of the food on the table, so she only tasted a few bites of each food, just to change the taste.
Lu Lu poured himself some Mine Bee Brewed Wine, took a few sips, and said what was on his mind: "Daughter-in-law, I'm going to go to Bird's Nest Island again!"
"Why are you going there?" Chen Xiuyu was a little surprised. Didn't she already tell you that she wouldn't go out during her confinement period? In fact, she was more reluctant to let go, and she was used to Lu Lu's care.
"Look, we are farming, and we are building deer farms, frog farms, bee farms, and so on. Now, there are all kinds of things raised there, except for the wild goose farm, which has nothing in it.
The day after tomorrow will enter July, which is the last time for the geese to lay eggs and hatch out the chicks. I want to take them to Bird's Nest Island to get some chicks to raise.
Farming of forest frogs will only be profitable in the next year. The number of deer in the deer farm is still small. The antlers cannot be harvested until next year. The amount of money that can be sold is also limited. There are 120 hives in the bee farm. It depends on the rain and lindens this year.
When the flowers are in bloom, honey can be shaken three times, but if these things are actually divided at the end of the year, the five of us can't divide much, let alone Zhou Cuifen, Wang Dalong, Zhou Fangjing, Meng Zhaohua and other people who follow suit.
.
If you want to raise wild geese, this is the best time to catch them and raise them. After raising them for a few months, they can be sold. When the wild geese fly south, we are the only ones who have them around here. In winter, these wild geese can be sold at a good price.
Otherwise, after this time period, the matter will have to wait until April or May next year.
I just thought that our family can earn more, and those who follow us can also share more. Only when we truly make money and get benefits will everyone be more active and attentive in doing things."
Lu Lu explained his intention: "I also want to accompany you well during this period, but we cannot delay this matter. Otherwise, after a year of busy work and investing so much manpower and material resources, there will be nothing good at the end of the year."
The harvest is also chilling.”
"Hey...that's all, go ahead with peace of mind!"
After hearing this, Chen Xiuyu smiled and nodded. What Lu Lu said was indeed important.
"I'm sorry, wife!"
Lu Lu said apologetically: "I will go say hello to Mom and Aunt Duan and ask them to come over and help take care of you. I will also ask Father Zhao to help guard Caodianzi. You can just take care of it at home."
"It's all for this family. Why don't you say sorry to me? Just go ahead and do it. Besides, you have arranged the family so well. Why should I be dissatisfied... I'm not that delicate."
Chen Xiuyu thought for a moment and then asked: "Brother Lu, how long do you plan to go this time and when will you come back?"
"If everything goes well, it will take about ten days. I don't plan to ride horses this time. I plan to let Hua Zi drive us there. There will be a lot of geese to bring, and Yuanbao and the others will also stay at home to look after the house..."
He just went to catch the newly hatched wild goose chicks. Considering that he was wandering around the wetlands and swamps all day, not to go into the mountains, and it was not convenient to take the dog deep into the wetlands, he planned to let Yuanbao and the others guard them at home.
"That won't work. You'd better take the Yuanbao and the others with you. They'll come in handy if something happens again! I haven't forgotten about the big car shop. I can be on guard if I encounter any bad guys.
"Come on, don't find it troublesome! Besides, there are three lynxes at home, and they are obedient. When Yuanbao and the others are not at home, they also take good care of the home!"
As Chen Xiuyu spoke, she meowed twice like cats at the three lynxes lying in the corner of the room, and then waved.
The three lynxes stood up one after another, stretched lazily, walked to Chen Xiuyu's side, and whined in response.
Perhaps they spent more time following Chen Xiuyu, and it was mostly because Chen Xiuyu was feeding them. The three lynxes had become accustomed to following Chen Xiuyu. Even if they went out for a walk, they would follow her all the time. If outsiders wanted to get close, they would be deterred by making fierce noises early.
Then, Lu Lvshi summoned them, but Chen Xiuyu didn't summon the aura yet.
Nowadays, Lu Lu has completely given up the idea of selling the three lynxes to the zoo. They have become Chen Xiuyu's most loyal follower and an indispensable part of the family.
After hearing what Chen Xiuyu said, Lu Lu thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense.
Although he has two good players, Zhao Yongke and Liang Kangbo, as well as Zhang Shaofeng, Chen Xiuqing and Meng Zhaohua, he believes that he has the ability to solve any problem well, but, as Chen Xiuyu said, he is just afraid of anything unexpected.
Therefore, Lu Lu nodded seriously: "Okay, I'll take the Yuan Bao and the others... Anyway, I will come back before the child is one month old."
This is my first child in my life, so the full moon celebration is a must and it is considered a major event in life.
The matter was discussed, and after the meal, Lu Lu rode Zhui Feng and went to the homes of Zhao Tuanqing, Zhang Shaofeng, Chen Xiuqing, Aunt Duan and Liang Kangbo to express his thoughts.
The five people in the mountaineering team readily agreed.
Even they themselves had not been to the mountains for a long time, and they had long wanted to go out.
As for Ma Jinlan and Aunt Duan, when Lu Lu asked them to help take care of Chen Xiuyu, they readily agreed.
The affairs of the farm are mainly left to Zhou Cuifen, Zhou Fangjing and Zhao Meiling.
As for patrolling, Zhang Shaofeng arranged for several militia brothers who participated in farm work to monitor and protect the farm.
In fact, during this period of time, there has been a division of labor among who is suitable for what, and everyone knows what they should do every day.
Lu Lu could drive himself, so the reason why he asked Meng Zhaohua to go with him was mainly because he wanted to catch a lot of geese on this trip, so the car would probably have to make several trips.
There are more than a hundred acres of wetland. With the abundance of water and grass in it, plus artificial supplementary feeding, it is no problem to raise 140 to 50 geese per acre. The geese needed are 14,000 to 5,000. That's a lot.
It can't be pulled back in one trip.
However, given the conditions of the large wetland on Yan's Nest Island, a person can get a lot of wild goose eggs and geese in one day by paddling a small boat. This quantity is not a problem at all, it is just a matter of time.
Of course, the hard work required is also extraordinary.
It is difficult to catch so many wild geese in a short period of time. Lu Lu could only lead five people. During these ten days, they tried their best to catch as many as they could.
As for whether the wild geese will be hunted, Lu Lu is not worried at all. You must know that there are still a large number of wild geese in Siberia.
“The stick beats the roe deer and the gourd scoops out the fish, and the pheasant flies into the rice pot;
Oily flowers bloom when you pinch the black soil, and sprouts sprout when you stick a chopstick into it.
The geese are eaten in the south, and the eggs are eaten in the north. In the middle, you can only stretch your neck to look at them.
To eat eggs, you have to go to Yanwo Island, where there are wild goose eggs everywhere in the grass.
The fish here are called "silly fish" and they won't swim away when they see people.
There is a kind of bird here called the "silly bird". It will wait in one place to catch fish, wait for one, and then another, and it will be full every day."
Most of these proverbs or legends come from this charming land, which fully illustrates the wealth of Bird's Nest Island.
There are only tens of thousands of small geese, which is really nothing to worry about.
Of course, it is impossible to really catch that many. Now we have slightly missed the breeding peak. We can only say that we should catch as many as possible in these ten days or so. As much as we can catch.
You only need to catch them this time, and next year they will be able to reproduce on their own.
Right now, the biggest trouble is how to transport these little geese back.
For this reason, Lu Lu called several people and went to Zuo Songling's house the next day to use gauze and wooden strips to nail Guan Xiaoyan's gauze cage.
It took a whole day to finally get a cage big enough to fill a car and transport it to Lulu Caodianzi.
On the next morning, Zhao Yongke, Zhang Shaofeng and Chen Xiuqing gathered in Lulu Caodianzi. After the people and six dogs got on the car, Lu Lu started the car and went to Huilongtun to meet Liang Kangbo and Meng Zhaohua who were waiting, and headed towards the Bird's Nest Island together.
Go ahead.
Lu Lu actually had another idea in mind right now, to see if he could invite Raymond too.
For Lu Lu, Raymond was his big brother in his heart. He still felt that he had been frustrated in Yan's Nest Island and became an ordinary employee, which was a waste of talent.
If you can invite him here, he will definitely be a good hand in managing the farm.
If he was here, Lu Lu could safely leave the farm to his management, so that he could continue his money-making business of hunting and carrying sticks.
"I don't know how Raymond is doing after such a long time!" He was thinking secretly.
