The couple left the hospital and went straight to the brigade's animal shed. They found Uncle Feng and explained their purpose of coming.
When Lao Feng heard this, he laughed and quickly found a housekeeper to squeeze a pot of goat's milk.
"Go back and boil it, let it cool down, put it in a bottle and give it to your child to try.
If the child can drink, you can come over again and I will bring you a ewe that has just given birth."
The couple was extremely grateful. After thanking Lao Feng, they took the goat milk home.
As soon as she got home, Su Anying hurriedly lit the fire, found a small aluminum pot, cleaned it and cooked goat milk for her son.
After cooking, let it dry for a while. Since I didn’t have a bottle at home, I put it in a bowl and fed it little by little with a spoon.
Not to mention, Xu Haiyuan's mouth is quite strong.
I guess I haven't drank milk for several days, and I drank the goat's milk with gusto, so I just fed half a bowl of milk into it with a spoon.
When Xu Shiyan saw this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
So I took the money and went out. First I found Yu Shouguang and told him to buy a dairy goat directly from the team.
This is different from before. At that time, if you borrowed it for ten and a half months, you could send it back. Who knows how long Xu Haiyuan will need to breastfeed?
In addition, Su Anying is also pregnant. To supplement her nutrition properly, drinking goat milk is a good idea.
Just buy one and bring it home, and let the two of you drink it together.
The team also raises sheep for sale, but who does it matter to?
Yu Shouguang agreed without saying a word and asked Xu Shiyan to pick the best one.
In this way, Xu Shiyan took a sheep home, and searched around for some bean pod skins, corn stalks and the like to keep to feed the sheep.
If you persist for a while, the snow will melt and the grass will sprout in the woods behind, and the sheep will have something to eat.
Now that Xu Haiyuan has goat milk to drink, he doesn't cry as much as before.
Anyway, when I met Su Anying, she still felt sticky and wanted to be hugged by her mother. She hugged her mother's neck and looked aggrieved.
Zhou Guilan was worried about Su Anying's health and feared that if Xu Haiyuan was too young, something bad would happen if the two of them bumped into each other.
So after a while, she took her grandson away to coax her and let Su Anying rest as much as possible.
Seeing that his home was still safe, Xu Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief. He ate something at home at noon and then rode his bike back to the mountain in the afternoon.
He didn't dare to let the old man stay in the mountain at night. He should take advantage of the opportunity to get off work in the afternoon and let the old man go home as soon as possible.
Ever since he found out that his wife was pregnant again, Xu Shiyan felt a little uneasy in the mountains.
Every five or six days, while everyone is working in the mountains during the day, I would quickly ride my bike home to take a look, and bring back some various meats, fish, etc. along the way.
After the Qingming Festival, the ice and snow melted and the ground was exposed. Xu Shiyan also took the time to build a new warehouse.
That's not right, it can't be called a warehouse, it should be called a pen, specially built for sables and otters.
The two sables have not reached the breeding period yet, that is, they live in separate rooms, but they have been replaced by larger iron cages.
Inside, there are nests for sleeping and resting made of hay, fur, etc., as well as troughs for feeding and watering.
The cage is one and a half feet high from the ground, and the sable's feces fall directly onto the ground. It is basically the same as a rabbit cage.
Just make it bigger, make it clean, tidy and luxurious.
The otter's nest is more troublesome. The place where these animals live must have water.
Having no idea, Xu Shiyan found a big broken tank and only needed half of the bottom of the tank to make a pool.
Some fish are put into the pool every day, and a very clean and warm nest is made next to it.
Otters play in the pool during the day, catch fish to eat, and return to their dens to rest at night.
That otter probably has a big heart and takes things easy. The female otter was pregnant a while ago and will give birth in a while.
When the people who came to work in the team met, they all said that Xu Shiyan was so whimsical that he could also raise sables and otters.
Xu Shiyan didn't argue with them. Anyway, he didn't raise many animals. It was purely an experiment to try his luck.
In the blink of an eye, it's May, and azaleas are blooming all over the mountains and fields, and it's time to plant fields again.
Xu Shiyan was looking at ginseng in the mountains. He didn't have time to go back to farm. It didn't matter if he was in the field. They were all in the team. He earned work points by farming the land. He also earned work points by looking at ginseng in the mountains.
But the family's private land and vegetable garden cannot be cultivated, and Xu Shiyan is also a little anxious.
I sent a message to Xu Chenghou to come up. Xu Chenghou was on the mountain during the day, and Xu Shiyan rode home early. After finishing his work, he rode up the mountain again and watched the ginseng walking tour in the evening.
Fortunately, Shouguang also knew the situation of the Xu family, and when he visited the fields, he also asked people to visit the private land of the Xu family, which was less than an acre.
In this way, there is no need to dig the ground with a pickaxe all the time.
In addition, Su Anying also followed them up the mountain. The couple dug and planted seeds, and they quickly planted their own land.
"How about I follow you up the mountain?"
After planting his own land, Su Anying said when Xu Shiyan was riding back to the mountain in the evening.
"Ah? Are you going up the mountain with me? No, you're pregnant with a child. Why are you going up the mountain? Just stay at home.
We still have Yuanyuan at home, and we can’t take Yuanyuan up the mountain, it’s too dangerous.”
If there is no Xu Haiyuan, or the wife is not pregnant, just go up the mountain.
Anyway, the fields there are all newly planted, so there isn’t much work, so it’s pretty safe.
Su Anying went up the mountain and could help take care of the mouth-mouthed beasts, and Xu Shiyan could free up his hands and make money.
But there is also the little ancestor Xu Haiyuan. Now he is no longer clamoring for milk. This baby can already stagger a few steps and is very happy.
If this was thrown directly to Zhou Guilan, the naughty and capable Zhou Guilan would not have time to cook.
Not to mention taking him up the mountain, I don't know how he would do it.
Su Anying is still pregnant with the child. She has to take care of the place, look after the child, and cook all by herself. It's simply not possible.
Therefore, it is better for Xu Shiyan to suffer a little, and for his wife and son to suffer less.
"Just stay at home, you and our mother take turns taking care of the children, and you can still have time to cook or something.
Our mother is not young anymore, it would be too tiring to leave the child to her."
Xu Shiyan could only advise his daughter-in-law in this way, but there was no other way. There was no time when everything went well while living at home.
If you want to make money, you have to suffer. How can you make a lot of money without suffering and suffering? Pie in the sky? Impossible.
Su Anying wanted to go up to the mountain to help. What can I say? After all, the family has been separated.
Xu Chenghou is always asked to go up the mountain to look at ginseng, while Xu Shiyan goes down to do some work. If others know about it, they will inevitably say that Xu Shiyan is taking advantage of his parents.
They say they are separated, but in reality they still ask their parents for help when they need help.
If Su Anying goes to live in the mountains, on the one hand she will take care of Xu Shiyan, and on the other hand she will take care of the place during the day, Xu Shiyan can come back to work with peace of mind, without delaying both ends.
But what Xu Shiyan said makes sense. The current situation is special, and Xu Haiyuan, that naughty guy, is really not someone ordinary people can take care of.
"Okay, then I'll stay at home. If there's nothing important to do in the future, you won't need to come back.
I can plant the vegetable garden at home, and I can also shovel the land and thin out seedlings, etc. You can just relax on the mountain. You have lost weight after working back and forth."
Su Anying looked at her husband distressedly. He was very busy these days. Xu Shiyan was dark and thin, and he looked like the same person as Dong Dong.
