Return to the era, take over and become a winner in life

Chapter 225: Living a good life as a family is more important than anything else (Subscription Request)
After listening to Xu Ye's suggestion, Lu Ming immediately had an idea in his mind.

He patted Xu Ye on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, I will discuss the matter of porcupines and badgers with the team when I go back and implement it as soon as possible."

Xu Ye nodded and continued, "Raising these animals may require a large initial investment, but as long as they are managed properly, the returns are still considerable."

"You can try it on a small scale first, and then expand it after you have accumulated experience."

Lu Ming nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of gratitude: "Okay, you must give us some advice when the time comes."

"After we have discussed it, we will build a breeding house. When the time comes, you can bring a youth construction team over. Our village is also planning to set up a youth construction team, and you can teach them then."

Xu Ye did not refuse and said directly: "Okay, that's no problem."

The few of them chatted as they walked and soon arrived at the farm.

Xu Ye looked at the takins in the pen and quickly selected one that was of medium size and had good meat quality.

He pointed at the antelope and said, "Let's take this one. The meat should be good."

Fan Dajun nodded and immediately called a few villagers to come and help.

Zhang Sanbao took out a hunting knife and started bleeding the antelope together with Xu Ye.

Although the takin was quite large in size, the slaughtering went very smoothly with everyone's cooperation.

Soon, the takin was cut into several large pieces.

Fan Dajun directed the villagers to divide the meat into several portions, some of which were distributed to the villagers, and some were kept in the brigade headquarters to be cooked for the members of the mountain blasting team.

"Everyone has worked hard today. Let's have a good meal tonight!" Fan Dajun said loudly with a smile on his face.

When the villagers heard this, they cheered.

Although everyone's life is usually tight, everyone is in a particularly good mood today because of the antelope beef.

In the evening, the village canteen is bustling with activity.

The villagers of the mountain blasting team sat together, eating antelope beef with big mouthfuls of contented smiles on their faces.

Xu Ye, Fan Dajun and Lu Ming also sat together, eating and chatting.

"Xu Ye, our future mountain blasting work will still depend on your guidance." Lu Ming took a sip of wine and said with a smile.

Xu Ye nodded and said, "Everyone has almost mastered it. If you need anything, just call me and I will come as soon as possible."

Fan Dajun patted Xu Ye on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Xu Ye, all this is thanks to you!"

"Without you, how would we have the chance to eat this delicious antelope beef?"

"Without you, how could our village have a construction team?"

Xu Ye picked up the wine glass and said, "It's not enough for me to do it alone. It's not because of your strong support that we have the current situation."

"So, don't just praise me. This is our collective work. It's everyone's credit."

Fan Dajun pointed his finger in the air and said, "You are so modest."

"Okay, I won't praise you anymore. We all have our own scale to judge who deserves the credit."

After saying that, Fan Dajun picked up his glass and clinked it with everyone.

Lu Ming drank the wine in his glass and said with anticipation, "Once the river is open, life in our villages will be completely different."

"Yes, by then, the things in the village can be transported to the town and sold in half an hour, and everyone's life will definitely get better and better."

Everyone is looking forward to a bright future and can't wait for that day to come.

However, according to the current progress, it may take more than a year and a half to open the river.

Everyone was very satisfied with the dinner because the antelope beef was very delicious and the stew was extremely tasty.

After dinner, Xu Ye returned home.

Tonight, Jiang Ruoan and Jiang Ruyue went back to her parents' home for dinner.

Gu Yun went to the county town today because she had some accounts to check.

If nothing unexpected happens, I should stay at Fan Xiaofeng's house at night.

Xu Ye went straight into his studio and began to process the last few parts of the wind turbine.

After processing, we can start assembling it in the mechanical workshop tonight.

Two hours later, Xu Ye finished processing the parts in his hands.

"Finally done. Success or failure depends on this one move."

“Let’s start assembling!”

As he spoke, Xu Ye began to assemble all the parts.

After more than an hour, Xu Ye finally installed all the parts.

"Now, it's time to start verifying."

As he spoke, Xu Ye turned on the fan of the wind turbine.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the task, and you will be rewarded with 200 points of machinery, 4-cylinder diesel engine design drawings and related knowledge. ]

When he saw the reward, Xu Ye couldn't help but be stunned.

"Design drawings of a 4-cylinder diesel engine?"

"Can I rub this thing with my hands now?"

The application scenarios of four-cylinder diesel generators are relatively small, suitable for small agricultural machinery and small pickup trucks.

However, if he could really make it by hand, Xu Ye felt that making the car would not be a big problem.

However, if he relied on himself, a year might not be enough.

Xu Ye did not check the information of the diesel engine immediately and prepared to leave the mechanical workshop.

It's getting late, and I've been staying in the studio all this time, neglecting Jiang Ruyue and the others.

Today, he plans to give himself a day off.

When he exited the mechanical workshop, Xu Ye's consciousness returned to the real world.

He got up, stretched, opened the door and went out.

Then, Xu Ye saw three women dancing in the back hall.

One of them turned out to be Xu Ye’s mother-in-law Qin Jiao.

Qin Jiao, Jiang Ruoan and Jiang Ruyue moved lightly, with smiles on their faces, and they were obviously immersed in the joy of dancing.

Although Qin Jiao is over 40 years old, her figure is still graceful and her dance steps do not seem unfamiliar at all.

When she saw Xu Ye coming out, she was stunned for a moment, then continued to dance to the rhythm of the music with a mischievous smile on her face.

Jiang Ruoan and Jiang Ruyue were dancing and laughing, and obviously did not notice Xu Ye's appearance.

Soon, the dance was over.

"Mom, you dance so well." Jiang Ruyue couldn't help but praise.

"Yeah, she's more talented than us. Mom, you should dance with us more often in the future." Jiang Ruoan also stepped forward and took Qin Jiao's hand. "You only know how to praise me. How can I dance well?" Qin Jiao said very embarrassedly.

"That's not right. She danced really well." Xu Ye immediately spoke up.

"Look, my brother-in-law said you dance well." Jiang Ruoan looked up and said proudly.

Qin Jiao felt strange when she heard Jiang Ruoan calling Xu Ye brother-in-law.

After all, Jiang Ruoan was Xu Ye’s wife before.

Now, she has become Xu Ye’s sister-in-law.

"Mom, please dance more often in the future. The more you dance, the younger you will feel." Xu Ye said with a smile.

Speaking of which, Qin Jiao has looked a lot younger since she no longer has to work in the fields.

Because I didn’t get much sun exposure, my skin became much whiter.

If she could wear a fashionable skirt, her mature woman vibe would come out and she would probably charm everyone.

After all, Jiang Ruoan and Jiang Ruyue inherited their beauty from her, and she has that mature charm that the other two don't have.

"Let's stop here today. I'll go back and see if Xiaoning and the others are awake." Qin Jiao said as she patted Jiang Ruoan's hand, motioning her to let go.

She also likes dancing, but she can't show it when Xu Ye is around.

"Then we'll assume that you agree to dance with us every day?" Jiang Ruoan said with a smile.

"Okay, I promise you. My old bones really should move, otherwise they will become stiff." Qin Jiao looked at Jiang Ruoan with a doting face.

After Qin Jiao left, Jiang Ruoan and Jiang Ruyue were still immersed in the afterglow of dancing, and they were discussing the dance steps with a smile. Xu Ye stood aside, watching their happy faces, and felt relieved.

"Brother Ye, do you want to dance too?" Jiang Ruyue suddenly turned her head and said to Xu Ye with blinking eyes.

Xu Ye waved his hands quickly and said with a smile: "I can't dance. You guys dance so well, I won't embarrass myself."

Jiang Ruoan came over, took Xu Ye's arm, and said mischievously: "Brother Ye, you are a great man in our village. Can dancing be a small thing that can stump you? Come on, we will teach you!"

Xu Ye was infected by their enthusiasm and smiled helplessly: "Okay, then I'll try, but don't laugh at me."

Jiang Ruoan and Jiang Ruyue were immediately excited after hearing this, and pulled Xu Ye to the center of the back hall. Jiang Ruoan turned on the radio, and the cheerful music sounded again.

"Brother Ye, follow our rhythm, relax a little and don't be too nervous." Jiang Ruyue demonstrated and instructed softly.

Although Xu Ye was a little clumsy, he gradually found the feeling under the patient guidance of the two. Although his movements were not graceful enough, he was serious, which made Jiang Ruoan and Jiang Ruyue laugh from time to time.

"Brother Ye, you dance pretty well!" Jiang Ruoan said with a smile.

Xu Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Don't make fun of me, I'm just dancing blindly."

Jiang Ruyue blinked her eyes and said mischievously, "You can dance so well even if you are just dancing blindly. Brother Ye, you are really a genius!"

The three of them laughed and joked for a while, and Xu Ye suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Ruo'an and Ruyue, I have good news to tell you."

"What good news?" the two asked in unison, their eyes full of anticipation.

Xu Ye smiled and said, "I have almost got the parts for the generator. Once it is assembled, Mom and the others will be able to use electricity."

Hearing Xu Ye say this, Jiang Ruoan and Jiang Ruyue's eyes lit up.

During this period of time, they have become accustomed to using electric lights, but they were afraid of being discovered, so they did not dare to tell Qin Jiao.

Once the generator assembled by Xu Ye is ready, there will be no need to use electricity secretly.

"Let's go get some antelope beef to grill and have a drink and relax." As he said that, Xu Ye pulled Jiang Ruoan and Jiang Ruyue together.

Gu Yun is not at home tonight, and they want to take advantage of this opportunity to indulge themselves.

I studied every day during this period. Although my efficiency and results were very high, I was always tense and it was a rare opportunity to relax.

The three of them came to the kitchen, and Xu Ye skillfully selected a piece of top-quality antelope beef and cut it into thin slices with a sharp hunting knife, preparing to grill it.

Jiang Ruoan and Jiang Ruyue were busy preparing barbecue seasonings and tools, and the kitchen was filled with laughter.

The three of them moved the prepared ingredients and tools to the yard, lit the charcoal fire, and started barbecue.

The antelope beef sizzles on the charcoal fire, and the aroma is so delicious that it makes you salivate.

"Come on, let's have a drink first!" Xu Ye raised the glass in his hand and gestured to Jiang Ruoan and Jiang Ruyue.

The three of them clinked their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp. Then, they began to enjoy the delicious barbecue, chatting while eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"I'm so happy now, it feels like a dream." Jiang Ruyue looked at Xu Ye straight with a flushed face.

"Yeah, who would have thought that two or three months ago we were still hungry, worrying every day whether we could have enough to eat the next day and whether we could earn more work points." Jiang Ruoan also sighed.

"What are you eating? It smells so good." Qin Jiao's voice came from behind.

"Mom, you're here at the right time. We are eating barbecue." Jiang Ruyue quickly stood up and ran towards Qin Jiao, took her arm, and pulled her to the grill.

They originally thought that Qin Jiao, who always went to bed early, had gone back to rest, but they didn't expect her to come back at this time.

Now that she was here, they naturally wouldn't let her go back.

"Mom, I'll get you a glass. You can have two drinks too." As he said that, Xu Ye stood up and got a wine glass for his mother-in-law.

Xu Ye quickly brought the wine glass and poured Qin Jiao a glass of wine.

Qin Jiao looked at the lively scene with a smile on her face and said, "You kids really know how to enjoy yourself."

After that, she took the wine glass and took a sip.

Jiang Ruoan put some more antelope beef slices on the grill and said as he turned the meat over, "Mom, it's rare that Brother Ye is free today, so we thought we could relax a bit."

And Brother Ye just said that the generator will be assembled soon, so it will be more convenient for us to use electricity in the future."

Qin Jiao heard this and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Really? That's great."

Qin Jiao had already heard about Xu Ye's making of the generator.

He had made a water pump before, and the news spread among the villagers.

At that time, Xu Ye said he wanted to figure out the generator.

She didn't expect that there would be results so soon.

Xu Ye smiled and nodded: "Well, it will be officially put into use after debugging in the next few days. In the future, it will not only be used for lighting, but we can also find a way to get some other electrical appliances to make life more convenient."

Jiang Ruyue said excitedly, "Yes, yes, maybe we can watch TV in the future, just like in the city."

television?

Qin Jiao couldn't help but widen her eyes.

She had heard of that thing.

But how much does that cost?
There aren't many televisions in the county town. Those things are too expensive and not something that farmers like them can enjoy.

"It doesn't matter if there's TV or not. As long as we live a good life as a family, it's more important than anything else."

"Like now, being able to eat full meals every day and eat meat every now and then is already like a dream."

"You two have to live a down-to-earth life. Don't be too ambitious and only seek pleasure, which will add burden to Xu Ye." Qin Jiao taught them a few words.
