"Buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle."
There was a knock on the door. The team leader's wife, Niu Qiaolian, was collecting dried radishes from the sun in the yard and quickly got up to open the door.
"Hey, Ming Zhiqing and Fu Zhiqing, come in and sit down,"
I was wondering what was going on! It was obvious that they were looking for Lao Yang. They moved two stools for people to sit in the courtyard. Now that the weather is hot, most people entertain guests in the courtyard. Not only are the houses messy, but they usually don't use electricity. It's pitch black and not as spacious as the courtyard.
"Okay, auntie, I'm sorry to bother you so late. We came to see the captain for something." Ming Yueshu's words also confirmed Niu Qiaolian's thoughts.
Captain Yang Chaoyue came out to meet the visitor and could guess the situation pretty well. He said unhappily, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Hehe, Captain, I'll be frank. I want to work cutting grass for pigs. I think the cows, donkeys, horses, and mules raised in our team definitely need a lot of grass."
There weren't many pigs, only about ten. She had also inquired about it. The reason why there weren't many was that almost every family raised them for themselves, and some families could only raise two.
As a result, many children in pig-raising families are only responsible for picking grass for their own pigs. Of course, this is not fair.
There is a difference between the grass that pigs eat and the grass that cows, horses, donkeys and mules eat. Let’s put it this way, the grass that pigs eat is also eaten by cows, horses, mules and donkeys. Much of it is actually wild vegetables that humans also eat.
But on the contrary, there are some things that grass pigs do not eat, such as grass.
Some weeds pulled out from the ground can also be fed to livestock.
Picking grass for pigs and mowing grass are different. Picking grass for pigs is for very young children, and they can use a small hoe or a hand shovel to dig. Mowing grass requires a sickle, which is quite dangerous and is usually done by teenagers.
"I made it clear this afternoon, do you all understand?" He added that he would not agree to borrow grain at the end of the year.
"clear."
"I know, Captain."
If they didn't understand, they wouldn't come.
……
"Okay, I'll mention this to your squad leader. But you can't just cut grass for the pigs. After all, you're adults now. You need to learn how to cut grass as soon as possible."
No matter how much grass you cut, it’s never too much. Cut more grass in the summer, dry it and store it. It will be the food for livestock in winter. Every year there is not enough food, so they end up feeding them with wheat bran. Wouldn’t it be nice to save this food and feed the pigs to fatten them up?
Ming Yueshu had thought of this a long time ago. This was the same pattern in the village before. She took out two packs of cigarettes and a piece of cloth from the basket and said, "Auntie, this is the defective cloth I exchanged for before I came here. Make some clothes for the child. Don't be disgusted."
Fu Peiwen raised an eyebrow when she saw what Ming Yueshu was holding, wondering if she had brought too little. However, there was no way she could add more now. She immediately took out a pound of brown sugar and said, "Auntie, give this to the child to sweeten his mouth."
Before Niu Qiaolian could say anything, Yang Chaoyue spoke first, "What are you doing? I've already told you that you'll get your rations based on how much you work. If you're not getting enough, just double it in cash. There's no need to resort to this nonsense. I'll also approve if anyone else does this job."
He dared to make this suggestion, and guessed that few people could do so. Even if there were many people, it would not be a big problem. In short, the team would not suffer any loss.
In some brigades, the relationship between villagers and educated youth became hostile. This was not what he wanted to see. In the words of his daughter, there was no mortal enemy between the two sides, and it was not the time to deal with the Japanese invaders, so there was really no need to take things to the extreme.
He hopes that those dirty things will never happen within his ability. Of course, he is so tolerant. If the other party is shameless, then let's talk about it. He still hopes that everyone will be happy.
"We'll be living in the village from now on, so I'm afraid you'll be in charge. Today is just a chance to get acquainted. Besides, Yingxue and I are still friends, so isn't it right for me to visit her elders? Captain, you and Auntie are busy, so we'll be leaving first."
