"Come in!" Tian Tian enthusiastically invited them in. Seeing them sweating all over and their faces tanned and oily, she felt a little distressed. "Look at how tanned you are!"
Tian Tian thought to herself, isn't it painful to be exposed to the sun all the way? It would be better to take the bus earlier, but she was reluctant to spend so much money, and then she got tanned like this, which made her feel uncomfortable.
But Tian Tian was reluctant to say this, as it would be like a niece mocking her two aunts. After all, the relationship between them was not that close.
Gu Zhao called out to them, and they each supported one of them and brought them into the house. Lin Meishuang and Lin Meixia were indeed feeling extremely hot, and it seemed like they were about to faint. Their faces were obviously tanned and red, but their lips were pale.
Tian Tian looked very worried. She helped them both into the house, let them cool down for a while, and poured them a glass of sugar water.
Lin Meiyu was lying down when she heard the noise and came out to see that it was Lin Meixia and Lin Meishuang. She was happy but also a little angry, especially when she saw that the two of them were obviously very sunburned, which made her even angrier.
"Tell me, why didn't you take the bus here? Look at how tanned you two are. What if you get hurt?" Lin Meiyu said angrily.
Lin Meishuang is already in her fifties, which is considered old at this age. It's fine for the other young people to just go out and have fun, but why are they still involved when they are so old? It would be better to take a taxi here earlier, so as to avoid this suffering.
Tian Tian saw that Wu Juan's two children were also very sunburned and their clothes were sweaty. It was cooler inside the room than outside, and if they continued to wear wet clothes, they would easily sweat.
She asked Wu Juan to take the two children to her room to change their clothes. It just so happened that her house had the clothes that Tian Zhuo wore when he was a child. Lin Meiyu had kept them very well over the years. Tian Tian also knew where they were, so she took out two sets for the two children.
While Wu Juan was changing clothes for the child, Tian Tian chatted with her and asked her how she was doing.
"It's still the same as before, what else can it be?" Wu Juan said with a smile.
Before, she felt a little unfair, thinking that Tian Tian lived a good life, but her husband was not ambitious and only relied on her five sisters for support. But now she no longer has that idea. Now there is someone in their village who does business and sells stir-fried dishes every day. So she sells all the vegetables at home to that person. Although the money she earns is not much, it is at least an income, which is enough to support the two children.
As for her husband, he spent all the money his sister left him. That was the money his sister subsidized her younger brother and had nothing to do with him as her sister-in-law. Wu Juan also didn't want to spend his sister's money, for fear of being criticized by her. So she kept making money to support herself. Of course, the money she made was definitely not much, but it was enough to support the three of them.
After all, they don't pursue delicacies from mountains and seas, big fish and meat. They just eat things produced from the land, and occasionally eat one or two eggs, and their life is pretty good.
As for her husband, she couldn't control him. She just let him have fun. Anyway, his four sisters would back them up no matter what happened.
Wu Juan no longer had the idea of competing with Tian Tian. She felt that she was already very capable as long as she could live a good life.
"I want to raise more chickens these days. I heard that I can make money from selling eggs and chicken. However, it's past the time for the hens to brood, so it's a bit difficult to find chicks!" said Wu Juan.
Eating meat is not as difficult as it used to be. Many families in rural areas raise a lot of chickens. In addition, the country no longer prohibits private transactions. Although some things still need to be bought at supply and marketing cooperatives, things like chickens, ducks, eggs and duck eggs can still be bought in rural areas.
There are many people from the city who come to the countryside to buy eggs, chickens, ducks, etc.
There was a family in Wu Juan's brigade who raised chickens, and people often went to their house to buy chicken and eggs. Nowadays, a chicken is worth a lot of money, and eggs are also a precious thing. Wu Juan was actually a little envious when she saw that they made a lot of money.
Wu Juan also wanted to raise more chickens to earn more money, but she didn't want to compete with others. She just wanted to do a small business and earn some pocket money, so that at least she would have enough money to send her children to school.
"Do you think raising chickens is a feasible job?" Although Wu Juan had made up her mind, she still came to seek Tian Tian's opinion. She always felt that Tian Tian was a college student and must know more than her.
Tian Tian shook her head. "I don't understand these things, but I think it is possible to make money by raising chickens. After all, you needed tickets before, and you couldn't spend the money you had. Now that there are things that don't require tickets, people who have the conditions will definitely want to improve their living conditions."
"But raising chickens is not an easy job. It is also easy to get chicken plague. If you get chicken plague and you can't handle it properly, basically all the chickens will be dead, and the loss will definitely be huge!"
"Another thing is, if you raise more chickens, you probably won't be able to handle it all by yourself, and you'll probably need to hire someone!" Tian Tian said.
She actually didn't know much about raising chickens. She only knew that fowl plague seemed to be very easy to occur, but she had no idea how to prevent and control it.
These are things that Wu Juan must prepare for and learn before raising chickens. At this moment, as long as Wu Juan is willing to pay attention to these things and study carefully, she can make a lot of money by running a chicken farm. At this moment, as long as you have knowledge and courage, you can make a way out.
But I'm also afraid of people like Wu Juan, who don't make any preparations in advance, don't study, and just rely on passion to build a career.
"There is actually chicken plague. If there is chicken plague, is there any way to deal with it?" Wu Juan asked with a frown.
Tian Tian shook her head. "I have never raised chickens. I have only heard of it occasionally. I don't know exactly how to do it."
It is impossible for Tian Tian to say that in order to help you build a career, she will first learn this thing and then teach you.
Tian Tian is neither stupid nor does she have that energy.
"Our county library should have a lot of information about chicken farming. You can borrow some books and take a look. It will definitely be helpful to you." Tian Tian suggested sincerely.
When Wu Juan heard about the chicken plague, she actually hesitated a little. A chicken is not cheap now. If Wu Juan bought a lot of chickens and then the chickens died of the chicken plague, she would definitely suffer a great loss.
Her current family situation cannot support her to lose too much.
"Then I'll raise a few chickens first and give it a try. I'll raise more chickens later to see how the situation is." Wu Juan finally decided to wait and see. The key point is that her two children are still young and her husband doesn't take care of the family too much, so she has to take care of the children. She also has to work in the fields and at home all day long, and it's all scattered. She really doesn't have much time to run a chicken farm.
Tian Tian nodded slightly to show that she understood. Since she already had a child, she couldn't devote herself to her own affairs like she did, and she definitely had to take care of the child.
"Okay, then if you need any books, you can tell me. There will be more books in the provincial capital than in the county, and I will find them for you there!" Tian Tian could still give Wu Juan some appropriate help.
"Then thank you in advance. Please don't think I'm troublesome when the time comes!" Wu Juan said with a smile.
"No, this is our school's phone number. If you need to talk to me during the day, you can call this number. However, I may be in class and cannot answer the phone. But I will call you back after class!" He first copied down his school's phone number and handed it to Wu Juan.
Wu Juan looked at the number on the paper, nodded, and carefully put the paper away.
Wu Juan had never been to school and she couldn't read, but she still knew how to make a phone call. She just needed to find the corresponding symbols on the phone according to the numbers on it and dial the numbers step by step.
Tian Tian just suggested to her that she read more books about raising chickens. Wu Juan herself was somewhat touched because she had never been to school and naturally could not read. But now she began to consider whether she should also learn a few words. Not to mention being able to read books, at least she would not be afraid to write something in the future.
Thinking of this, Wu Juan looked at Tian Tian, wanting to say something, but seemed to be hesitant.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Tian Tian asked.
"It's okay!" Wu Juan shook her head, but she didn't say the last words.
Tian Tian didn't think much about it and handed a handful of candy to Wu Juan's two children, "Take these candies and eat them. These are my aunt's wedding candies."
The two children were very well-behaved. They took the candy from Tian Tian, thanked Tian Tian, and then ate the candy obediently.
"Juan'er, take the child to your grandmother Tian's room to sleep for a while!" Lin Meiyu came over and called Wu Juan. Tian Tian's room was where Tian Tian and Gu Zhao rested, and with Gu Zhao there, it was not good for them to sleep with the child in Tian Tian's room.
Wu Juan's two children take a nap at home every day at noon. Today, it took them four hours to walk from home to here. Although Wu Juan and Lin Meishuang carried them on their backs, the children were still very tired.
He came here because he was shy, and that’s why he looks so well-behaved.
Hearing this, Wu Juan didn't say anything and immediately took the child to Old Lady Tian's room.
The pots and other things at home were all hot and not too watery, so Lin Meiyu quickly steamed a bowl of egg cake for the two children.
