Chapter 33 Rabbit
Song Weibin also grew up following his three cousins.
Even though I don’t come back often now, I still get along well with them.
She would talk about things at school in front of her two sisters, such as what happened to a teacher by a student, or something that happened in someone's family, and she would keep nagging about it.
When he saw his uncle coming back for lunch on his bicycle, he rushed to the side of the bicycle with his eyes shining: "Uncle, can you lend me the bicycle?"
"Okay." Secretary Song regretted riding his bike there in the morning.
It's so cold that my hands are almost frozen.
He decided to go there in the afternoon and walk: "I won't use the car in the afternoon, you can ride it."
"Great!" Song Weibin cheered and rode away crookedly on his bicycle: "Don't worry, I'm a very good rider."
Chu Dan muttered: "This brat is really good at boasting. He dares to say that he is a good driver even though he is like this."
Then he asked Chu Hong: "Shall we go for a walk around town tomorrow? And invite elder sister along as well."
She also likes to ride her bicycle to show off. Whenever she rides her bicycle out, she can see many people looking at her with envy.
Chu Hong was too lazy to go out: "Didn't we just go there the other day? We've bought everything we needed. You should go home and knit a sweater for me."
She had used up all the tickets and spent a lot of money. Now she only had a little over 520 yuan in her pocket.
Mainly, I bought a lot of wool, which cost me nearly two hundred yuan.
Chu Hong couldn't help but feel distressed, but with so many people in the family, there wouldn't be enough clothes if there were less.
The sweater and trousers she was wearing had been worn for many years.
She asked her mother to knit a sweater for her and her sister to knit a pair of trousers for her.
Who told her that she couldn't knit? She didn't plan to knit. She thought that when she had money in the future, she would just buy a woolen sweater.
Especially now, there is no need to worry about selling fake goods. She had even touched woolen sweaters when she was in the supply and marketing cooperative.
Nowadays, wool sweaters are not commodities that require cloth coupons, nor are they basic necessities, so no coupons are required. However, the price is not cheap, costing 62 yuan each.
Even Chu Hong couldn't bear to buy it.
Chu Dan was also looking forward to wearing new woolen trousers during the Chinese New Year, so he had to give up the idea of strolling around the town.
Chu Hong sent her sister to knit and went to the kitchen. Seeing that her father had finished a large bowl of sweet potato rice, she began to slowly taste the glutinous rice cake.
Chu Hong asked, "Dad, are there many people working?"
"Do you think everyone else is as lazy as you?" Party Secretary Song insulted her before saying, "There are nearly 400 people from three villages. At this rate, it won't take more than two months to dig the reservoir."
The original location for digging the reservoir was a low-lying mountain between the two villages.
The stones on the mountain were originally mined by people from the two villages and transported back home to be used as foundations. When they dug underground, they found only gravel and rubble.
This is not a place to grow crops, and a lot of soil has been dug down, so it can become a pond when it rains.
This is almost twice the result with half the effort, so the two village leaders decided to think about digging a reservoir.
It was because they were worried that there would not be enough water for irrigation that they decided to dig a reservoir.
In the future, it can be used to store water, supply water, prevent floods, irrigate, and raise fish.
That's right. With so many people having to record work points, the reservoir is prepared to raise fish and shrimp to supply the supply and marketing cooperative in the town. They can also be exchanged for some necessities and banknotes, which are then distributed according to work after calculation.
Chu Hong also went to see it. In fact, the place is really not that big, only about four acres, right?
She asked curiously, "Don't we need to invite a water conservancy expert?"
This is a reservoir after all, right?
She was worried that the reservoir built by these people would leak everywhere or collapse at the edges.
Secretary Song didn't expect his daughter to know so much: "Experts from the Water Conservancy Bureau will come over, and we are going to find a few educated youth to go with them to record and run errands."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Chu Hong and said, "Why don't you run errands with me when the time comes?"
In the past, he didn't realize that his second daughter was also very smart. Now that there is a good job, of course he wants to benefit his daughter.
Chu Hong immediately refused after hearing this: "Forget it, it's too cold outside, I'd better stay at home."
He muttered again: "I don't know if Gu Ci is back yet, otherwise it would be nice to ask him to run errands."
At least I'm following a water conservancy expert, so I can learn a little bit and earn some work points.
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Gu Ci came in with a backpack and a lot of bags on his back: "Is anyone home?"
"I'm here." Chu Hong opened the door and waited for him to come in before closing it again. "You brought so many things in broad daylight, aren't you afraid of being suspected?"
"These were all sent to me by my family." Gu Ci first greeted Secretary Song, then put the things on a stool beside him, and then said to Chu Hong: "Everyone is having lunch at this time, so there are not many people on the road."
"Even if I meet someone, I can say that I am here to dig a reservoir and have brought my bedding with me."
Secretary Song asked him, "The water conservancy expert will come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Can you go with him to take note of his requirements and run some errands for him?"
Now there is a call from above to break old customs and not to take holidays during the Spring Festival.
Employees in government agencies, factories, supply and marketing cooperatives, state-owned restaurants and other state-owned units do not take holidays or go home and actively participate in production labor.
But winter in the countryside is the slack season for farmers, and even if farmers want to work, there is not much work to do in the fields.
But now, with the reservoir digging project, everyone has work to do, and the slack season has turned into the busy season.
However, most of the people who go to work are men, so women can still prepare for the New Year.
The reservoir here is not large, and the water conservancy experts have been keeping an eye on it, which seems to be a waste of resources.
So let them find two people to record some important things, and the expert can go to other places where he is needed.
Gu Ci was not an ungrateful person, and he immediately agreed: "I am willing, thank you Uncle Song for giving me this opportunity, I will definitely study hard."
Chu Hong asked again: "You haven't had lunch yet? There's still some sweet potato rice in the pot. Can I serve it to you?"
The main reason was that they ate rice candy and a lot of glutinous rice cakes, so sweet potato rice was no longer popular.
If she didn't eat it, Chu Hong could imagine that her grandmother would definitely add a bucket of water, and she would only have sweet potato and vegetable porridge in the evening.
Gu Ci smiled embarrassedly: "You haven't eaten yet?"
Then she pointed to the bamboo basket with a lid she had brought with her and said, "Last time, all the rabbits I gave to others gave birth. I brought four rabbits."
Chu Dan, who was knitting in the next room, rushed over upon hearing this. She rushed to open the lid and took a look. There were four gray rabbits inside, two large and two small. They were probably scared because they were shaken when they were brought here, and they were huddled together and shivering.
"Wow, what a beautiful rabbit." Chu Dan asked anxiously: "How do you raise one? What can a rabbit eat?"
Gu Ci answered her while eating: "You can't eat freshly washed vegetables. Just feed them some clean vegetables, radishes, and sweet potato leaves."
Chu Hong also came over to take a look at the two big rabbits, and the recipe popped up in her mind: "Spicy rabbit head and braised rabbit meat are here."
