It just so happened that a pig in the production team's pigpen was about to give birth in the next two days, and Uncle Li in the pigpen was unable to take care of it alone. Knowing that He Wan and the others were studying in the county veterinary station recently, he asked Zhang Cuicao and Wang Xiaorong to help Uncle Li take care of the old sow.
He Wan has been free these two days. She originally wanted to hide in the space to find Lao Yun, but Lao Yun started to be busy again. She was also pulled into their room by Su Ranran and used as an experimental tool.
She knows all kinds of bone-setting and acupuncture points. If she didn't have silver needles, she would really practice on herself.
However, Su Ranran's bone setting is indeed effective. Li Zheng and Li Chunsheng would let Su Ranran practice on him from time to time. The guys in the backyard were scared of her, so they pulled Zhang Jianjun from the front yard over to practice with them.
He Wan didn't have to make clothes or shoes, and she would occasionally knit sweaters for herself. While Chen Qing was collecting snow, she helped Su Ranran sort out the medicinal herbs that a few people had obtained in the mountains some time ago.
Su Ranran was holding the book of Chinese herbal secret recipes and prescriptions, and the medicine pack for clearing away heat and reducing fever.
"Sister Ranran, this pack is ready."
Su Ranran also prepared a pack of medicine and said, "It's just that there are too few herbs. I'll go up the mountain to collect more herbs next year."
When the two were busy in the yard, the team leader came over and said, "Start peeling peanut seeds today. At the brigade headquarters, anyone who can complete the task in a day will be rewarded with a full centimeter. If you are willing to work, everyone can bring a small stool over."
He Wan said: "Okay, Captain, we'll be there right away."
Chen Qing was not there at the moment. All the male educated youth had gone up the mountain. Only Ding Shaoling and Xue Zhenzhen were left in the front yard. They packed up and went to the brigade headquarters.
There were already quite a few people in the house, the kang was heated, and everyone had a bag of peanuts in front of them. Some people were together.
In short, it was very lively.
When Aunt Juhua saw them coming, she waved to them and pointed to the empty seats next to them and said, "He educated youth, Su educated youth, come and sit here." Recently, the educated youth have been very active in generating income for the village. The villagers have seen it and feel that things have changed with the arrival of the new educated youth, especially He Wan. When she interacted with them, she did not have the arrogance of city people, and the aunts all liked her.
"Aunt Chrysanthemum."
Su Ranran and He Wan went to the scorer to get half a bag of peanuts and carried it to Aunt Juhua.
Aunt Juhua said, "Hey, why is Zhang Zhiqing not here?"
"Zhang Zhiqing and Wang Zhiqing are helping Uncle Li look after the old sows."
Auntie Yanzi, who was standing next to Aunt Juhua, said, "The old sow in our team gave birth these past two days. I don't know if she can survive."
These days it’s hard to raise anything, especially pigs. People don’t even have food to eat, let alone pigs.
Fortunately, they live next to the mountains, and the grass cut every year is enough for the pigs to eat. The leftover grass is dried and chopped with wheat bran in the winter, and the corn stalks are chopped up. Some people also use rotten and dried sweet potatoes from their homes to feed the pigs.
The feed for cattle is similar.
The cowshed in their production team is also looked after by an old man named Li, and the old man in the pigshed is also named Li.
How should I put it, this is Lijiazhuang, and people with the surname Li account for a large proportion of the population.
As soon as the two sat down, they started talking about pigs and cows. The villagers also knew that the educated youth had been running to the county these days, visiting the veterinary station and the county hospital. Some people in the village had also seen Su Ranran in the county hospital, working in the pharmacy with medical staff.
