Chapter 809: Fifty-year-old sister-in-law (42)

Just when Cheng’s father and Cheng’s mother were worried that their son and daughter-in-law would have no money to eat when they returned to Beiguan, and were planning to write to them and post money, Xu Yin drew a cake for Comrade Xiaojin on the train going north—

"Don't look at Beiguan now. When you mention it, you will think of it as the snowy and sparsely populated Beidahuang. In a few years, it will definitely become the Beidacang that everyone admires. You can pinch the black soil to make oily flowers and insert a pair of chopsticks. All sprouted…”

Cheng Shaojin looked at her and smiled: "My wife's ideals are so full."

Xu Yin: Does this mean that reality is very skinny?

With a determination to let Comrade Xiaojin see how fertile Beidacang is in the future, Xu Yin still devoted herself to the reclamation of Beidahuang even if the system has not released her the task of this small world. trip.

Winter is turning to spring, and the new year's reclamation tasks are also pressing the start button as the ice and snow gradually melt.

Just when Xu Yin was gearing up to increase the number of acres of land reclaimed last year, Captain Fu came to her to discuss raising chickens.

“Captain, are you saying that our reclamation team plans to raise some chickens this year to improve the food for the team members?”

"That's right." Captain Fu nodded, "You raised a few chickens last year, and none of them died during the Chinese New Year. They were quite strong and everyone was jealous. I think the foundation we have laid in the past two years is not bad, no. If there is a shortage of wheat bran to feed the chickens, it is better to catch more chickens and raise them in the name of the land reclamation team. Everyone works together, like taking turns to cook, taking turns cleaning the chicken coop and feeding the chickens. In this way, You don’t have to raise it alone anymore, what do you think?”

not so good.

 Xu Yinxin said.

 She is not optimistic about big-pot farming.

For example, when we are on duty during the busy farming season, we often eat vegetables that have not been washed and rice that has not been scoured. There are insects in the vegetable leaves and gravel in the rice noodles. These are things that the team members on duty have to eat. If you are so careless, will you pay attention when it is your turn to cook for the chickens and clean the chicken coop?

Perhaps thinking that the next person will clean the chicken coop, just scratch it a few times and forget about it.

Everyone thinks so, how dirty and smelly will the chicken coop be? When summer comes, the chickens may get sick regardless of the smell.

Even for her, the reason why her chickens are healthy and not sick is because she feeds the chickens a few meals of water mixed with spiritual dew.

Xu Yin shook her head: "Captain, raising chickens and cooking are not the same thing. I can make do with cooking on a rotating basis, but it's hard to make do with raising chickens. It's easy to get chicken plague. If you really want to raise chickens, select a few people to do it. When you are responsible for raising chickens, you have the responsibility on your shoulders to get things done.”

"this…"

 Once it was said that a few people would be spared to raise chickens, Captain Fu was shaken.

The main task of the reclamation team is to reclaim wasteland. If the main task is delayed for a few chickens, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse?

I originally thought about raising a few chickens, and everyone would take turns feeding and cleaning the chicken coop, just like cooking during the busy farming season. I was a little tired, but when the Chinese New Year comes, there will be chickens to eat, and everyone is happy to accept the hard work. But according to Xu Yin, raising chickens requires dedicated manpower, which seems to be a bit more costly than gain.

Xu Yin doesn’t plan to raise chickens full-time. She has just set the goal of reclaiming land and doesn’t want to be **** by raising chickens.

 When everyone can have enough to eat in the future, we should put large-scale chicken farms on the agenda. It is not the time yet.

So she suggested: "Since we can't spare any manpower, we can raise those who want to raise them ourselves, as long as we don't delay going to work. Like me last year, I came back from work to clean up the chicken coop. I was a little tired, but during the Chinese New Year If I have chicken to eat, I will enjoy this tiring job." Captain Fu: "..."

　　Why did you still steal his lines?

 But Xu Yin's words touched his heart.

He also thought about the cooking shifts during busy farming days. Some team members were so tired after a long day of work that they did not want to move and were too lazy to cook. They washed the rice and poured it into the pot without picking out the gravel; I am even too lazy to even wash the pot when cooking. Xu Yin and her female compatriots love to be clean. The dishes they wash and the meals they cook are delicious and hygienic. But just because they care about hygiene, we can't let them do everything.

Especially Xu Yin, she is an expert in reclaiming wasteland in the team, and the whole team's hopes are pinned on her. Without her, the reclamation achievements of the past two years would not have been possible.

 As for other people, cooking is like this, let alone raising chickens...

 Captain Fu put his hands behind his back and thought about it all the way back to his residence.

The team members who were waiting for him to make up his mind gathered around and asked:

“Captain, how have you considered raising chickens? The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and I see that some villagers have gone to catch chickens from home. We can’t fall behind.”

“Yes, captain, if you are worried that we won’t be able to raise them, then you can ask Xu Yin for guidance. She has raised a lot of them and has experience.”

Captain Fu waved his hand: "I've thought about it. We'd better not focus on raising chickens. We don't have the energy. If you want to raise chickens, just follow Xu Yin's example and catch two chickens to raise. Whether you raise them well or not is up to you. You are responsible for yourself. But one thing - you are not allowed to affect the progress of land reclamation! This is the last year for the land reclamation team in Beiguan. I have repeatedly emphasized the land reclamation plan to you. Even if you cannot make more progress than last year, you cannot regress. Who is working? Go to work as a foreigner and focus on raising chickens. Don’t blame me for writing harshly in your summary report, which will affect your future job arrangements."

　　　…”

 As a result, the cautious team member completely gave up the idea.

Compared to being lazy and secretly cultivating wasteland by raising chickens, the work after returning to Yuanshan County is of course more important. Otherwise, why bother coming to Beidahuang to endure hardship?

They can raise them by themselves. Firstly, they are young people from the city who don’t know how to raise chickens. Secondly, they will be very tired after returning from work. Who has the energy to serve chickens every day?

　　Although the New Year chicken makes them greedy, the New Year has just begun and is far away from the New Year.

So after a while of muttering and discussing, they all said forget it and not raise it anymore. Anyway, the documents have been issued, and these young pioneers can return home by the end of the year.

At the end of the day, Xu Yin was still the only one raising four chickens, one male, three females, and she was the only one who still had the energy to clean the chicken coop, mix chicken food, and be busy around the small fenced yard after returning from work.

Cheng Shaojin would come to the wasteland to accompany her every time he had a vacation, taking over tasks such as cleaning the house, cleaning up chicken manure, feeding chickens, etc., and also learned how to cook. When Xu Yin came back from work, she didn't have to do anything but wash her hands and sit down to eat. That's right, he always rushes to wash the dishes and clear the stove after meals, making the single girls and boys look envious.

 Fortunately, if they persist, they will be able to go home at the end of the year, otherwise they would all want to find a companion here.

Huang Xiaohong said meaningfully: "What will Xu Yin do then? Should she follow the army back to Yuanshan County, or continue to stay here? After all, she is married, so it is not good to live in two places separately, right?"

 Everyone was stunned: Yes, what will Xu Yin do then?
