Chapter 110: Farming
Now the two hens saw Chu Hong coming and were afraid that she was here to catch chickens again, so they huddled together and trembled.
Chu Hong also discovered that the noise came from the rabbit pen next to the woodshed.
The main thing is these four rabbits. They were so quiet that Chu Hong almost ignored their existence. Now she remembered that when Gu Ci came yesterday, he went to feed the rabbits and said: The rabbits are about to give birth.
She had never raised a rabbit before, so she immediately called out, "Mom, come over here soon?"
It was mom she was calling, and the family members all came over after hearing it. Secretary Song stepped forward and took a look at the anxious pregnant rabbit, and made a prompt decision: "I'll go call Xiao Gu."
No one in their family had ever raised rabbits, but they heard from Gu Ci that he knew a little about it, so naturally they had no choice but to call him over. ”
Gu Ci came over and asked everyone to go back to the house first: "Rabbits are easily frightened at this time, I will prepare some food and put it in."
He then took out the male rabbit and put it into the chicken coop, and separated the two female rabbits with an old straw curtain.
"You can't touch the baby rabbits after they're born, or they'll be contaminated with human scent and the mother rabbit will bite them to death and eat them."
These are what Gu Ci had heard about, and he also learned from the rabbit farmers on the black market, just so that he could take care of Chu Hong's rabbits at this moment.
He couldn't help but praise himself in his heart: Well done.
Giving a rabbit as a gift is like playing the long game to hook a big fish. Now you should be close to marrying the beauty.
Secretary Song saw that he was talking very logically, and he looked at him more favorably: "You know a lot, don't you?"
Chu Hong also looked at him with bright eyes: "Dad, remember to go to the commune to urge the breeding matter, then you can let Gu Ci go to learn."
With the current collective farming, the higher-ups have also required that people be sent to learn, otherwise there is a fear that the chickens and ducks will be raised to death by them.
In the past few years, chicken and swine fever broke out in many places, causing people to lose all their money, so now people are afraid to raise pigs.
People like Chu Hong who applied for collective breeding also had tasks to do. They were given seedlings and lessons on how to breed and disinfect.
If you don’t have a good memory, you really can’t learn it.
But Chu Hong felt that talent was more important.
Look at Gu Ci again, he can speak very clearly, it is obvious that he is talented, right?
Secretary Song glared at his daughter and said unhappily, "It's too early. Let's talk about it later."
He felt that his daughter was a little stupid, and it would be a great thing for her to go to school. He originally planned to let both daughters go together, as it was a rare opportunity to go on a business trip at public expense.
But Chu Hong recommended Gu Ci.
If Gu Ci wants to go, he must be his son-in-law. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a joke to let the educated youth from Lingshang Village go to handle the affairs of Lingxia Village?
But he is unwilling to get married so soon. Who understands the dilemma in the heart of this old father?
Chu Hong didn't have a suitable partner, and he was worried that he would be known as picky and would not be able to find a good man when he got older.
But he was worried about finding a partner so soon and talking about marriage, always afraid that he had met the wrong person.
I'm also afraid that I might have made a mistake.
Seeing that it was getting late, Wu Xiu urged her husband to go to work.
Chu Tong simply took her daughter away with her. She was in the warehouse anyway and didn't have much work to do. Xiao Yuer could play with the children in the village in the drying yard in front.
Soon, only Gu Ci and Chu Hong were left at home.
Gu Ci took the opportunity to tell her the contents of his letter.
Chu Hong had a complicated expression after hearing this: "You are such a filial son. You are also very experienced in living off your parents."
She was a little worried about her unborn son.
If her son was like Gu Ci, who was relying on his parents for support, she was afraid that she would kill her own son for the sake of justice.
Gu Ci was a little nervous: "I know that what I did is not right, I will also provide for his old age in the future."
It’s not that he is willing, but he cannot refuse to provide for his father in his old age.
Chu Hong muttered to herself: By that time, he will have a lot of pension and he won’t need you for his retirement at all.
But she would definitely stand on Gu Ci's side, and if Gu Ci wanted to take back the things left by his biological mother, that would be a good deal for him.
Besides, the place they live in now is a two-story house with a yard that was built by Gu Ci’s biological mother’s family with money and effort when her mother was pregnant with him.
It is close to the hospital so that Gu Ci’s mother can go to and from get off work conveniently.
But unexpectedly, there is another woman living in the house now.
Chu Hong immediately said, "We can't kick them out of the house, so we have to ask for some money and tickets, just as rent."
After hearing this, Gu Ci felt relieved.
He heard a slight noise and quietly went forward to take a look: "Baby rabbits are really born. The two rabbits have given birth to five baby rabbits."
"This is really going smoothly." Chu Hong also stepped forward and secretly took a few glances. She felt her hands were a little itchy and asked in a low voice: "Does the little rabbit really not need to be washed?"
"No, as long as the female rabbit gives birth successfully, she will lick it clean."
Gu Ci was afraid that she would touch it, so he emphasized again: "I'll get some light salt water and prepare some clean vegetables to put in, and you don't have to worry about it."
Chu Hong asked regretfully, "How long will it take before I can touch you?"
Gu Ci hesitated for a while before saying, "The little rabbit will be weaned in a month."
Chu Hong had no experience in taking care of the mother rabbit and the baby rabbits, so she could only ask him more questions. After watching him feed her water and vegetables, she finally said, "Okay, why don't you go to work as well?"
She also wanted to close the door and go find her grandfather.
I had agreed with him in the morning that the grandfather and grandson would go out together in the afternoon.
My grandfather’s main task was to drive a ox cart.
Gu Ci's feet seemed to be glued to the ground, not moving at all.
His ears were red and his eyes were wandering: "Well, my grandparents don't mind me being a live-in son-in-law, and they said they've seen a lot of them. Now they just hope that I can be safe and happy and be with the person I love."
As Mr. Chu said, if it weren't for the incident, they might have some objections to Gu Ci becoming a son-in-law.
But now he feels that since he is in the countryside, his stepmother will definitely not want him to go back. Even if he goes back, he doesn't know what kind of girl she will let him marry. It would be good for him to marry into the Song family now.
At least the Song family is kind. No matter whether they marry into the family or marry a daughter-in-law, as long as the couple are in harmony, it's fine.
Besides, their son-in-law is an ungrateful person, so they have no objection to letting Gu Ci's children have the surname Song.
Moreover, if Gu Ci and Chu Hong get married, they can take better care of them.
At the beginning, the old couple of the Chu family were worried that Gu Ci would marry into the Song family in order to take better care of them.
Chu Hong almost laughed when she saw that he was obviously shy but pretending to be calm. He was so cute.
She leaned forward and tiptoed to kiss the corner of his mouth: "Silly boy, do you know my answer?"
Gu Ci immediately hugged her and couldn't help but say, "Chu Hong, I'm so happy."
Seeing the expression of joy on his face, Chu Hong laughed out loud: "You used to be a top student, but you speak so bluntly."
Gu Ci's eyes were still smiling: "We all come from all corners of the world and have come together for a common revolutionary goal."
