Chapter 41: Blowing Tangtang's Rainbow Fart
When Zhao Honghua heard Lin Tang agreed, the gloom on her face finally dissipated.
The whole person's spirit is different.
His frail body straightened a little, and he seemed to have more hope.
“…Thank you, Tangtang!”
Li Xiuli watched from the side, sighed deeply, and patted Honghua's shoulder.
“Everything will be fine!”
Zhao Honghua didn’t know whether she would get better in the future.
She just hopes she can raise the pig well.
If this pig can really be raised, the family will have more income and my son will be able to get married.
After receiving Lin Tang's affirmative answer, Zhao Honghua walked home with a much lighter pace.
She held the piglet and pushed open the dilapidated wooden door. A dirty middle-aged man was sitting in the yard smoking.
When he saw her, Chen Jiefang didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, completely treating her as air.
Zhao Honghua seemed to be used to it. She closed the door, picked up the piglet, and walked to the backyard.
Chen Ziqiang, who was repairing the pigpen, heard the sound and put down what he was holding.
He hurried over and took the pig from Zhao Honghua's hand.
"Mom, I brought the piglet back. It looks very energetic!" He smiled and pinched the piglet's ear.
The piglet grunted.
Zhao Honghua patted her son's arm and said, "Why are you pinching the piglet's ears, kid? Put it in the pigpen right away!"
Although she was blaming him, there was a kind smile on her face.
Ziqiang hasn't been so happy for a long time!
Chen Ziqiang touched his nose and put the piglet into the pigpen.
There was a layer of hay in the pigpen and feed in the trough.
The piglet turned around in the pen and started eating with a grunt.
"Mom, did the team leader say when we can feed the pigs grass? It's such a waste to just feed them fodder!"
The feed he was talking about was bran.
Chen Ziqiang thought that it would be much easier if he fed the pigs grass.
There is plenty of pig grass in the mountains, and there is no shortage of it all year round.
Zhao Honghua didn't understand either. Looking at the piglets eating happily, she felt mixed emotions of joy and worry.
"... Let's feed the food first. I'll ask Tangtang first."
"Tangtang?" Chen Ziqiang was puzzled. "Why are you asking Tangtang?"
Could it be that Tangtang also knows about raising pigs?
Zhao Honghua suppressed her worries and smiled, "Don't worry about it. I know what's going on. Just go to work and do your best."
Seeing that his mother was unwilling to speak, Chen Ziqiang did not force her.
At worst, I can just ask Aoki someday and then I’ll know.
-
On that day, almost every family in the brigade received at least one piglet.
There are not many families like Lin Tang’s family who directly received three.
Even a few brigade cadres only received two at most.
Li Xiuli and Lin Tang were holding the piglets and had just arrived home.
Lin Lu returned from work with his son and daughter-in-law.
Goudan and a few other little guys followed the adults and chattered.
The atmosphere seemed unusually lively.
Lin Qingshan gently patted Goudan on the back of his head and said in a tone that was neither light nor heavy:
"Why don't you go wash your hands and change your clothes? Believe it or not, your grandma will come back and beat you up."
"Who to beat?" Li Xiuli's voice came from the backyard.
In less than ten seconds, the figure appeared in front of everyone.
"Goudan, how come you guys are covered in mud? Look how dirty you are." Li Xiuli frowned.
I saw a few little guys covered in black.
The little face and hands are covered in mud.
Even his hair was in clumps, and he looked like a refugee.
When they heard the serious tone of Grandma's voice, Goudan, Hutou, Niuniu and Choudan stiffened their bodies.
He raised his wet eyes and looked at Li's mother, looking well-behaved and cute, but he didn't say a word.
Ning Xinrou smiled helplessly and said, "A few of the little ones fell into the ditch for a few wild berries."
Zhou Mei didn't take this matter seriously at all.
He sat on the stool and spoke while pounding his legs.
"All kids are like this. Who doesn't play in the mud when they're a kid? As long as they're happy, that's all that matters."
What she said sounded nice, but how could Li Xiuli not know that she was just too lazy to do the laundry?
Immediately, he scolded with a serious face:
"Don't talk so nicely, even if you fart, I know what it smells like.
Go back to the house and quickly change clothes for Hutou and Niu Niu.
Wash your clothes thoroughly. If they are not clean, you will not be allowed to eat at night."
When Zhou Mei heard this, she couldn't even lift her arms that were pounding her legs.
He looked at his two children with resentment and was so angry that he wanted to beat his chest.
These children are such a traitor to their mother!
I want to tire her to death!
Ning Xinrou didn't say much, and pulled her two sons back to her room.
Goudan, the clever little boy, saw that Li Xiuli was not really angry, so he gently shook off his mother's hand.
Be careful to protect the raspberries in your pocket.
The sound is cheerful and crisp.
"Auntie, I brought you some sweet and fragrant raspberries. Come out quickly!"
As he spoke, he ran towards Lin Tang's room.
When Li Xiuli saw this, she hurriedly said, "Your aunt is not in the room. She is in the backyard looking after the piglets!"
Goudan and his friends are covered in mud, don’t dirty Tangtang’s house.
When the three Lin Qingshan brothers heard the word "piglet", they put down their things and walked towards the backyard.
Before reaching the backyard, the sound of pigs squealing "Hum, hum, hum..." came into my ears.
"Is this our piglet?" Lin Qingmu looked at the piglet with a happy face.
"He looks quite energetic. If we can support him, our family will be prosperous!"
Li Xiuli didn't attack him, but raised her chin slightly.
"This is the piglet Tangtang chose. How can it not be spirited?"
Lin Lu also showed joy on his face.
"Tangtang is smart and reads a lot. He definitely knows more than those stupid guys who only eat and don't use their brains. There's nothing to say about that."
This intelligence is innate.
Tangtang is like her grandfather and is naturally smart.
The Lin brothers: “…” I’m used to it, there’s nothing much to say.
Lin Tang has also become accustomed to his parents praising him whenever they find the chance, without even blushing.
The three Lin Qingshan brothers didn't think there was anything wrong. They were not angry at all and even joined in the praise.
"That's right, Tangtang is the smartest person in the team."
"There's really nothing much to say. My sister has been smart since she was a child!"
"All we need is strength. We'll hit wherever Tangtang points!"
Ning Xinrou saw that the topic had gone off track again and shook her head helplessly.
Looking at the two sons, Goudan and the others were having fun again.
She pursed her lips and decided to ignore it for the time being.
Let’s wait until they have had enough fun!
The family looked at the piglets with curiosity and preliminarily determined the division of labor in the family.
Men go to the fields to earn work points, this does not change.
Mother Li worked with her two daughters-in-law to earn work points and took turns doing housework.
Lin Tang took a few children to do some simple chores and took care of the animals at home.
The Lin family raised three pigs, a chicken, and a rabbit in their backyard.
The rabbit's belly was already very sagging.
I'm afraid that before long, there will be another nest of rabbits in the house.
Looking at this scene, the Lin family was overjoyed.
After lunch, everyone in the Lin family went out.
Lin Tang and Goudan went to the foot of the mountain to pick grass for the pigs.
It was not long after the famine, and people were scared of starvation.
Food is more important than anything else, so of course I would not want to give up the "good" things at home to feed pigs.
