Chapter 391 The House Ruiner in the 1970s (22)

 “Why are you going to the black market?”

Hearing Xu Yin say that she wanted to go to the black market, Mr. Xu, who was enjoying his granddaughter Xiaojing's pheasant mushroom soup, raised his head and asked in confusion.

Mrs. Xu guessed why her granddaughter wanted to go: "Do you want to buy food? You can't go! There's no way your girl can go to that place!"

When Old Man Xu heard this, his face became solemn: "There is no need for you to buy food. I have already asked someone to inquire about it. If there is any, they will bring it over for us. There is no need for us to go there ourselves."

Xu Yin failed to get the whereabouts of the black market from the two elders, so she had to give up.

She was not doing it for food, but mainly because in the 1980s, she always heard from the older generation that in the 1960s and 1970s, many people sold valuables on the black market in order to fill their stomachs. I can’t help but want to take a look. Who wouldn’t want to stock up on some treasures if they have the chance?

But she can also understand the second elder's worries. If you don't want to say it, forget it.

 A fat pheasant fed the Xu family for three days.

 Half of the chicken is boiled in soup, half of it is stir-fried with chili peppers, and the remaining chicken feet, buttocks, wing tips, neck and other leftover parts are stewed with dried beans and dried bamboo shoots for another meal.

In the past three days, Xu Laosan's face was glowing with food, he walked with wind, and earned 10 work points every day.

 Chen Huilan works 7 work points a day, which is considered a full work point among female compatriots.

 After all, lesbians like Xu Yin who earn full work points among the male compatriots are very rare.

As if attacking them was not enough, Xu Yin finished the day's work in less than half a day, and then either squatted in the private plot to work, or made chicken feed for the two chicks.

Since she taught village women how to mix and recompose new ecological fertilizers, recently, men in every household have been urged by their mothers to pick up manure and compost.

The Xu family who had only done this, Xu Laosan, who came back to work, still raised Erlang's legs, humming Xiaoquer to drink herbal tea that daughter rushed to him.

Men are not to mention envious: "Third brother, let's go! Let's go pick manure together!"

 Xu Laosan shook his legs shrilly: "I don't need it! Yinyin has already taken care of it!"

“…Why do you have the nerve to let your daughter do all the work? You are a big man…”

"It's not that I don't want to do it." Xu Laosan looked innocent, "Yinyin said that my waist is not good and she told me not to be so tired."

  “…” Why do you want to beat someone up!

 Before dinner, Xu Yin released the two chickens from the chicken coop and let them run around in the yard.

This is just like a child who is kept at home after school. His physical condition is definitely not as good as that of a child who runs around in the playground.

Fang Meihong, who was carrying a basin of dirty clothes to wash in the river, passed by Xu's house. She heard the chirping of chickens and asked in surprise: "Lao San, when did your family raise chickens?"

"A few days ago, Bu Yin Yin wanted to raise her. She said that she would save eggs for me and her mother to eat when she is older."

　　　…”

Fang Meihong had a stomach full of sour juice.

　　After finishing the laundry, I came home and saw my daughter hiding in the room. She didn’t know what she was doing. The clothes were not washed and the food was not cooked. I suddenly became angry and kicked open the door of my daughter’s room:

"Damn girl! Whose daughter is so lazy as you! Why don't you hurry up and light a fire to cook! Do you think you are a young lady from the old society? At this point, who is still cold cooking and cooking? She is also sixteen or seventeen years old, Look at Xu Laosan’s second daughter, and then look at you! It’s really a waste of money for you to go to junior high school for one year. Xu Yin is more capable than you even before she finished elementary school. What about you? It’s useless at all! If I had known it, I might as well have Save the tuition to buy a meal of meat..."

Zhao Pingping was scolded by her mother and felt very unhappy. On the way to the farm the next day, she met Xu Yin. She gave Xu Yin a sharp look with a knife-like look in her eyes and gave Xu Yin a cold "hum".

Xu Yin was stared at in confusion by her: "..." Who is this person? Do I know him?

 She has been very busy these two days.

 After retting the fertilizer, make chicken feed. This retting fertilizer can be used for a long time at a time, but the chicken feed should be fed every day, so it must be done frequently. So I have to go to the foot of the mountain to cut chicken grass every two or three days.

 But this is too troublesome, so I thought of re-dividing the private land and planting some chicken grass and alfalfa in a row.

 Speaking of it, alfalfa is a miraculous crop that can fertilize the soil. Any land planted with alfalfa has much better fertility than other lands.

Xu Yin had a sudden idea: Why not do a planting rotation?

 For example, after the alfalfa in this ridge is harvested, other vegetables are planted; after the vegetables are harvested, the land is planted with alfalfa, and vegetables are planted with alfalfa in rotation.

 In this way, the chickens will have food to eat, and the fertility of the private land will also increase.

 After making the decision, she worked on her own land during her free time in the past few days. After re-planning, she created a small ridge of land.

Xu Laosan thought she would replant a few pepper plants because his pepper consumption was relatively large, so she also made a small suggestion:

“Daughter, I’m going to plant a few spicier plants this time. The ones your sister planted before were not very spicy and didn’t produce any food at all.”

 Xu Yin: “…”

　　Okay! Isn't it just chili? This requirement is simpler than eating meat and can still be satisfied.

So a small corner was created and two pepper plants were planted.

The small ridge of land that was cleared out earlier was loosened, fertilized, and planted with chicken grass and alfalfa.

 In this way, her family’s six-tenth private plot is really fully cultivated.

Except for drainage ditches, fruits and vegetables are grown on all available land:

 Behind the corner are two rows of pumpkins.

These two rows of land are mixed with Taoyuanxing brand "Xi soil" mud. Needless to say, the growth of the pumpkins will definitely be crowned the star of this season's private plot.

 Pumpkin followed by winter melon, radish, and cabbage.

 Then there are peppers, kidney beans, eggplants, cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, pumpkins... all the seasonal vegetables that are commonly seen on local tables can be found in the Xu family's private plot.

 Individually, it is necessary to build a bamboo frame, climb it, and hang it.

 A few lentils were planted against the wall here and climbed up the wall. Lentil flowers are also very beautiful and can be used as wall decoration.

 After busying herself with housework in her own land and earning work points, Xu Yin was glad that she had magical powers, otherwise she would not be able to afford it.

 After finishing this busy work, it’s time to go see my little sister again. I wonder if she has had enough to eat at the uncle’s house.

　　After finishing work that day, Xu Yin asked the production team leader for a half-day leave, explaining that she wanted to go to the town to see her little sister.

The production team leader readily approved her leave: "Okay! You work efficiently, so feel free to go if you have anything to do."

 Several of Chen Lei’s descendants muttered at the side:

“Why is it that the captain never approves my request for leave, but Xu Yin approves it as soon as he comes?”

“That’s it!” Chen Lei shouted at the top of his lungs, “Captain, I also want to go to town…”

"Go away! When will you be as efficient as Xu Yin? Come to me again to approve leave."

　　　…”Who the **** can do this!

Xu Yin smiled at them and walked home.

 “Is this girl provoking us?” Chen Lei asked in surprise.

“Brother Lei Zi, she is really capable of provoking us.”

　　　…”If you don’t know how to speak, you can shut up!
