Chapter 271 Lively
Secretary Su loves his daughter, but he values his son more, so he didn't come up with this idea because he really loves his daughter.
This is because he found out that the current breeding farm is only supported by the two people surnamed Song and Jiang who were demoted, and the others, both old and young, are just helping out.
Although he didn't understand, even something as simple as raising chickens and ducks required scientific breeding.
But he also understood that if he wanted to run a breeding farm, he had to follow the requirements of his superiors and have people who understood scientific breeding.
The man with the surname Song and the man with the surname Jiang are the ones he can control.
Therefore, Secretary Su also went to another family in the village. This family had lost their son, and the parents-in-law wanted to keep their daughter-in-law to take care of their grandchildren and did not want her to remarry.
Secretary Su easily convinced them. After all, if a man came to the house, it would be like getting a free laborer.
Anyway, Secretary Su promised them that the money, tickets, and food distributed by the team every year would be handed over to the old couple.
If they can control these things, they don't have to worry about their grandchildren being wronged, and they can also work for free.
Both their daughter-in-law Wu Meiqin and Chunfang were widows under the age of 30.
It’s not that they don’t want to remarry, but they are reluctant to leave their children and the good life in their husband’s family where they have no worries about food and drink. The most important thing is that their husband’s family is unwilling to let them go.
But they also desperately want to have a man, and now that they have the opportunity, of course they are reluctant to let it go.
When they followed the educated youth from Lingtou Village to Lingxia Village and saw Song Dongzheng and Jiang Mingche, who were handsome, tall and soft-spoken, they were very satisfied with them and prepared to find an opportunity to have close contact with them.
By then, we will be in public, and you won’t be able to come even if you don’t want to.
After all, their background is problematic to begin with, and marrying into a woman's family is actually their best option.
On the other hand, Chu Hong and her family are also very concerned about the farm.
After all, this is the year they started hatching chicks and ducklings on a large scale.
It takes nearly a month for chicken and duck eggs to hatch.
When incubating, you should not only pay attention to the temperature and humidity during the incubation period, but also pay special attention to the later stages of hatching.
The chicken and duck eggs used for hatching must not only be fertilized eggs, but also be as fresh as possible.
Chu Hong must also hope that under Gu Ci's management, the incubation can be completed smoothly.
Of course, it didn't delay her from secretly preparing good things like fennel, cinnamon, star anise, and rice wine. In the end, the chicken and duck eggs that couldn't be hatched couldn't be wasted, right?
During this period, there was a good thing that made Gu Ci and the Chu family particularly happy. The farm arranged a team leader to bring Gu Ci's uncle and aunt to study.
In order to allow his uncle and aunt to stay for a few more days, Gu Ci discussed with his family and told the team leader that the chickens and ducks would be hatched in half a month, and they could bring back a batch of chickens and ducklings if they stayed for a few more days.
We still support their farm construction and donated 150 chicken, duck and goose seedlings free of charge.
Of course, you have to file a report and go through some procedures during this period.
The team leader was very happy and agreed immediately.
Of course he knew that Gu Ci wanted to take care of his uncle and aunt on the farm.
But for them, it was just a piece of cake, so they were naturally willing to agree.
Secretary Song also thought far ahead and said to Gu Ci privately: "It is said that when my uncle and aunt come, we must entertain them well."
"But there are people traveling with us. If we prepare some special dishes, I'm afraid they will notice us. If we say something to the leader, they will think we did something in private."
Gu Ci also understood his father-in-law's concerns: "Dad, you are right. It's good enough that we can let them eat rice now."
Secretary Song saw that he understood, so he patted his shoulder and whispered, "We can't be too aggressive in public, but privately, we should feed them boiled eggs every morning and evening. Goose eggs are the most nutritious."
Gu Ci also smiled: "Dad, you are so thoughtful. This is enough."
Therefore, for three meals a day, in the morning, they would either have coarse grain steamed buns or wild vegetable dumplings. At noon, they would have white rice, and the vegetables would be water spinach, amaranth, sweet potato leaves, beans and eggplants grown in their private plots.
Fried tofu, putting an egg in loofah soup, steamed egg custard, or salted duck eggs are considered meat dishes.
In the evening, I either eat noodles cooked with green beans or noodles with sauerkraut. The team leader also felt that the food was quite good. Not only was it filling, but the dishes also contained oil.
But he didn't know that every morning and evening, Gu Ci's uncle and aunt would secretly add extra food to his meal.
Especially the goose eggs are big and taste delicious.
What surprised Chu Yunxiao and his wife even more was that they could see their parents and children here. Of course, they couldn't reveal their relationship, but this was enough to make the couple feel at ease.
Unfortunately, the good days passed so quickly. Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and many chickens, ducks and geese had hatched. Even if they were reluctant, they had no choice but to prepare to go back.
Before leaving, Chu Hong asked Gu Ci to buy a pound of meat, five pounds of tofu, three eggs and some leeks, and made dumplings: "They say dumplings are for welcoming guests and noodles are for seeing off guests, but I think we are parting now in order to reunite in the future, so let's have dumplings today."
Although there is less meat and more tofu, the dumplings are still very delicious.
After they were sent away, the remaining hatched chickens, ducks and goose chicks were fought over by people from several villages.
Gu Ci was also prepared: "Everyone get 100 of the eggs that are hatched this time. Once you have raised them well, you will be able to hatch chicken and duck eggs yourself next year."
Everyone thinks this amount is too little, but we can’t just give it all to me instead of dividing it equally.
Secretary Su, however, became anxious and privately urged Chunfang and Wu Meiqi to act quickly.
He liked to help others, and thought that Gu Zhiqing must not have given everything to the educated youth in their village, and must have kept some things in reserve.
The main reason is that nowadays masters like to keep some skills to themselves, for fear that their apprentices will starve to death if they teach them.
Moreover, during the past ten days, Secretary Su also discovered that Gu Ci indeed relied heavily on Song Dongzheng and Jiang Mingche.
Gu Ci went home to sleep at night, and Jiang Mingche and the others took turns to keep watch.
I also found that they were particularly dedicated in taking care of the hatched chickens and ducks.
He felt that as long as they were there, he would be able to run his own farm.
Chunfang and Wu Meiqin had been eager to make a move, but unfortunately they couldn't find an opportunity, and they were helpless: "When they were alone, the old ones followed them closely."
Secretary Su finally decided to go and help divert attention himself.
April 28th is the day when people from other villages receive chickens and ducklings.
Secretary Su only allowed two educated youth in the village, Chunfang and Wu Meiqin, to go to Lingxia Village with him.
In order to create opportunities for them, he deliberately went there late and discussed it to the end.
Of course, the chickens and ducklings were not given for free. They also used wheelbarrows to push 300 kilograms of grain in exchange for the chicks and ducklings, which of course also included tuition fees for breeding.
