The cannon fodder female supporting role stirs up trouble in period literature
Chapter 154 Strawberries are ripe
During the years that Uncle Tiezhu has been the team leader, there have been some people in the team who have not obeyed him, and some who want to pull him down and replace him with their own family members.
Uncle Tiezhu, who has become the team leader, naturally can no longer sit at people's doorsteps day and night like he did in the past. However, his sons have grasped his essence and even carried it forward.
It would be fine if others didn't provoke their family, but once they did, Xu Tiezhu's sons would sit in front of the person's door and cry out for justice.
Unlike Xu Tiezhu who fought alone in the past, his sons took turns to fight without being beaten or scolded. It would be unreasonable for others to call them scoundrels, which made it easier for him, the team leader, to do his job.
Now, Uncle Tiezhu has said so much, and he is also quite enthusiastic towards her when they meet normally. Hua Rendong will certainly not refuse his request. As for what to raise, she will have to think about it carefully.
Although the hundred or so pigs raised by Taohuawan Brigade will certainly not have much impact on the pork market in Xinshi, the two brigades are too close to each other. If they both raise pigs, where can they get the swill used in raising pigs?
Everyone opens a tofu workshop? As I said before, I'm afraid no one will come to exchange tofu.
Hua Rendong thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Tiezhu, I remember there is a large area along the river in your village. Do you want to build a fish pond? And raise some ducks in the river?"
Xu Tiezhu was a little reluctant. How could raising fish and ducks be as profitable as raising pigs and sheep?
Zhou Laifu seemed relieved, and he knew it was not a good idea to compete with other teams. Although Hua Jindong was suggesting it, if he did not accept the construction, he would not even be given the opportunity to raise fish and ducks.
I made up my mind and said, "Can that be done?"
Hua Honeysuckle nodded, "Why not? I can get a batch of new ducklings. They will lay eggs in three or four months. Not only will they produce a lot of eggs, but they will also lay big eggs. Our brigade will then build a salted duck egg factory, which will definitely be no worse than raising pigs and sheep. The fish fry can be raised in the fish pond and sold before the New Year. They will be more expensive than pork."
Zhou Laifu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Erhua, how about getting some ducks and fish for your uncle?"
Xu Tiezhu pushed him aside with his butt, "Why do you want to do everything? Aren't you afraid of being stuffed to death? Erhua girl, ignore him and talk to your uncle about raising fish and ducks."
Hua Honeysuckle couldn't help laughing, so she and Xu Tiezhu found two rocks to sit on and explained to him the benefits of raising fish and ducks.
Xu Tiezhu made the decision immediately. He went back and asked the people in the team to dig a pond and build a duck house. When the commune approved the quota for raising ducks and fish, he would ask Hua Rendong to get him ducklings and fish fry.
After the pond and duck house in Xingzigou were completed, Hua Rendong pretended to return to the city and used her donkey to transport ducklings and fish fry to the Xingzigou Brigade several times. She also brought a lot of bran feed and gave Xu Tiezhu a manual on scientific duck and fish farming.
There was not much money in the accounts of the two brigades. Whether it was the piglets, lambs and cattle given to the Taohuawan Brigade, or the fish and duck seedlings given to the Xingzigou Brigade, they had to be recorded in the accounts first and then repaid after the two brigades earned money.
Hua Rendong had no objection to this. After all, all the money was earned in her space. It would be best if she could get the money, but she wouldn't feel bad if she didn't.
During the following period, Hua Rendong lived in the educated youth center and walked around the village when she had nothing to do. She paid special attention to Zhou Shoujia, whom she saw was always lying under a big tree at the entrance of the village. Although his clothes were ragged and he looked increasingly shabby, he seemed to have never lacked food or water.
Although Bai Kangdi did not take any money with her when she left, even if the family was not starving, they had no money. It is really questionable that someone like Zhou Shoujia did not work and had no one to help him, but he did not starve to death.
Hua Rendong asked Zhou Lai Fu to arrange Xia Yu and Yue Zhiqing's work near the village entrance, so that he could be lazy while keeping an eye on Zhou Shoujia.
Yue Zhiqing felt relaxed since Xia Yu came back. He found an evening after work and asked for the things he had sent to Hua Rendong last time back. He worked even harder and treated Xia Yu like an ancestor.
Sui Yong came over specifically to say that because Bai Kangdi had provided clues, he used his connections to arrange for her to get meals in a steel plant canteen. He also asked Sui Yong to help bring a small hairpin to Hua Rendong to express his gratitude.
When she is free, Honeysuckle goes up the mountain to check out the peach trees and strawberries.
With the nourishment from the magical power of honeysuckle, the strawberries in the peach forest begin to ripen in mid-May. The strawberries are as big as eggs, sweet and slightly sour, and the taste is unforgettable once you take a bite.
Zhou Lai Fu immediately left someone to guard the shack. Otherwise, if they picked strawberries one by one, there would not be enough to throw away no matter how many there were.
Even so, when picking strawberries, Zhou Lai Fu would bring people to watch over them. Anyone who dared to pick them and put them in their mouths would have their work points for the day deducted.
Under such management, the strawberries were rarely lost. At first, I could pick one basin of strawberries a day, and gradually I could pick more than ten or even twenty basins a day.
Zhou Lai Fu got a letter of introduction and had someone ride a donkey upside down to take the strawberries to the supply and marketing cooperative in the city. A pot of strawberries could be sold for more than two yuan, and there was still a shortage of supply. All the members of the Taohuawan Brigade saw hope.
Twenty pots would cost more than 40 yuan, and if they could be sold for a month, that would be more than 1,000 yuan. You should know that on the account of Taohuawan Brigade, there was only less than 100 yuan before the strawberries were sold, and that was even the money owed to the commune for fertilizers and seeds.
Looking at the small peach eggs on the trees, they seem to be bigger than in previous years and look more desirable. If the peaches can be sold for money, and they have the New Year pigs and sheep in winter, their brigade will be a wealthy brigade known far and wide.
From time to time, the honeysuckle would transfer some supernatural powers to the peach forest, and the growth of the strawberries seemed to be getting better and better.
May Day was approaching, and every household would put mugwort and peach branches in front of their doors. Zhou Laifu even took people to patrol the peach orchard every day. He actually caught a few people who wanted to pluck peach branches in the orchard. After criticizing them at a meeting in the brigade, he also deducted half a month's work points from the whole family. Finally, no one dared to steal the peach orchard on the mountain.
After all, in the countryside, although not every household has peach trees in their yards, there are always a few in front of and behind the houses. Why do they have to steal from the mountains? Those people are really the bad apples in the brigade. If Zhou Laifu was not afraid of being fined too much and starving people to death next year, he would not want to be fined only half a month's work points.
On May Day, Hua Rendong wanted to go back to the Hua family to celebrate the festival. After giving gifts to the Zhou family the day before, he rode his donkey back to Zhou County.
On the cart were a small bag of yellow rice for making rice dumplings, a small bag of glutinous rice, a bag of candied fruit, a bag of red dates, and two kilograms of sugar. There were also two chickens, two fish, and a large ham. The ham was pork from the space, and Xu Xixi made it herself. The taste was incomparable to the ham outside.
Who would have thought that as soon as I arrived at Hua's house, I saw the Hua family carrying large and small bags and heading to Taohuawan Brigade.
