Chapter 44 Lala Teng
Recently, Fubao has been very worried about her pigs. Every day when she opens her eyes, washes up and eats, she quickly runs to the back of the house to check on the pigs in the pigpen.
Once, while helping to pump the bellows in the kitchen, she couldn't help but ask Miao Xiuju, "How much does this pig weigh?"
Miao Xiujiu said that if the pig weighed 200 kilograms, the commune could take it in and then slaughter it for money or meat.
Miao Xiuju watched the wind in the stove flicker with the bellows, reflecting Fubao's fair little face. Her bright eyes looked forward to it eagerly, and she couldn't help laughing. "Looking forward to eating meat every day, you greedy little girl! You, why are you so greedy!"
He said this, but seeing that his children and wives were not outside, he secretly stuffed a piece of fried dough cake into Fubao's mouth and said, "Eat it quickly. After eating, wipe your mouth. Don't let anyone see."
Fubao's face flushed, he smiled with his lips pursed, and secretly ate the bite.
Miao Xiujiu loves her now, more than any other grandchild. She often secretly gives her some delicious food and looks at her with particularly loving eyes. She understands it all in her heart.
Grandma is so good to her.
The oil residue pastry is particularly fragrant. It melts in your mouth as soon as you chew it and swallow it slowly. The crispy taste awakens your spirit that has been sleeping all night, and your whole body is filled with warm happiness.
Sometimes happiness is very subtle. It does not depend on how much delicious food you eat, but on the love you receive. Fubao is living a good life now. He feels that his parents and brothers love him, and his grandmother dotes on him even more. He feels like he is living in a happy home every day.
After finishing her meal, Fubao wiped her hands with the broken wheat straw and dead leaves beside her, and pulled the bellows again. When the pot began to gurgle, she ran out to find Gu Shengtian to see her little piglet.
Who knew that when they arrived at the backyard, they saw Gu Shengtian lying outside the pigpen and looking inside with a worried look on his face.
When Gu Shengtian saw Fubao coming over, he called out, "Fubao, look, little piglet is pooping again!"
Fubao leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, he had diarrhea again, and it was very watery, almost like yellow watery soup.
Little Piglet has already had poop four times today. This is not good. Isn’t this just diarrhea?
You should know that the most feared thing in pig farming is diarrhea. If the pigs have diarrhea, they cannot grow fat. If the pigs are not fat, they are skinny pigs and they will not produce meat!
Fubao looked at his little piglet again. It didn't look as energetic as usual. Instead, it looked sick, with its head hung down and groaning. It was obviously sick.
Fubao frowned and looked at his little piglet distressedly: "What happened? Why did he get sick?"
Gu Shengtian: "I don't know either. Let's go back and ask the adults."
When I got home, the adults in the family just came back from work. When they heard about what happened, they all came over to see what was going on. Everyone was worried.
Chen Hongying was impatient and couldn't help stamping her feet, saying, "What should we do? If anything happens, we'll still owe the production team a hundred kilograms of pork! We can't afford to pay for that! How do we feed them?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Fubao and Gu Shengtian with resentment: "How do you feed the pigs? You actually made a healthy pig sick? It would be terrible if something happened!"
Gu Weiguo's task today was to go to the farmland in the back. He came back earlier than his brothers. After hearing what Shen Hongying said, his face darkened: "Fubao and Shengtian are children. Children must cut grass to feed the pigs. How else can they feed them? Can they feed the pigs poison? Do they want the pigs to get sick? Who do you think is happy about this? What use are they?"
Shen Hongying was anxious and angry, but she didn't dare to say anything in front of Miao Xiuju, so she had to make up for it: "Isn't it because the pig is sick that I am anxious? Can't I ask about the pig's illness?"
Liu Zhaodi hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said slowly, "No one wants to see a sick pig, but we have to find the cause. Whoever feeds it knows best... Actually, I told you before that such a big thing can't be left entirely to the children. Look, isn't this a disaster? In fact, I'm not afraid of anything else... I'm just afraid that this pig will die. That would be a big deal... After all, diarrhea is not a minor problem. If it vomits too much, the pig will be in trouble..."
Fubao and Gu Shengtian lowered their heads and said nothing.
They don't know why the pigs are sick, but now that they are sick, it is indeed their problem.
Liu Guizhi went over to take a look at the pigs in the pigsty. They were indeed sick. Helpless, she looked to Miao Xiujiu for help.
She couldn't speak and couldn't defend Fubao and Gu Shengtian.
Miao Xiuju's face was stern, and she sneered, "Are you done? Do you have anything else to say? You two, one yells at the child when something happens, and the other one just makes sarcastic remarks. I've done the work, and you've said what you want to say. Now, if you have anything else to say, say it all in one breath! If you haven't finished, I'll keep waiting for you to say more!"
After Miao Xiujiu said this, Chen Hongying and Liu Zhaodi suddenly dared not say a word.
They were dissatisfied with Fubao, and felt disgusted and disliked him, but Miao Xiujiu liked Fubao, so they didn't dare to say anything wrong in front of her.
They still remembered the lesson Miao Xiuju had taught them before, but they didn't dare to make the same mistake again easily, because Miao Xiuju was the head of the family.
Miao Xiuju: "From now on, Fubao and Shengtian don't have to feed the pigs anymore. Whoever dislikes you can do it. From now on, after you finish work and cook, you four sisters-in-law will take turns going up the mountain to cut grass for the pigs. No matter how dark, cold or hot it is, you have to go. Don't come back for dinner until you have cut all the grass for the pigs!"
Shen Hongying was shocked: "Mom, this won't work!"
They worked during the day, and after work they had to help with cooking and housework, as well as washing the children's clothes and mending clothes. There was a lot to do. A pig had a big appetite, so it took two baskets of pig grass a day, which had to be carefully chopped and mixed with swill and bran. How much work did that take!
If they were really forced to work after work, wouldn't they be exhausted to death? How could they survive then?
Liu Zhaodi was also shocked: "Mom, my Dongni is still little. She is scared when she is away from me at night! Mom, what you said is not possible. I really can't do it here!"
Niu Sanni sighed. Even though she was a simple-minded person, she saw some clues. She couldn't help but glance at her eldest sister-in-law and third brother's wife: "You don't want to do it, and you think Fubao and Shengtian are not doing a good job. Who should do it? Let the children drop out of school to feed pigs? Or let mother do it?"
The men in the family have to take care of their own plots and their own private work, so they have no time to spare! In the final analysis, isn't it that no one has time to do it, so they have to let the two children raise the pigs?
Miao Xiuju: "That's true. You all have your own difficulties. It's not easy for anyone to raise this pig. In that case, I'll talk to Youfu and ask him to send this pig back and let the production team raise it."
As he said this, he raised his leg and was about to leave.
The four daughters-in-law were all shocked, and three of them shouted in unison: "Mom, this won't do!"
Miao Xiuju: "What's the matter? No one is raising it. The pig can't starve to death. That would be a sin. We have to return the pig to the production team. Besides, the pig is sick. I think it can't be saved and is about to die. I'd better return the pig to you. It can't die in our family."
Shen Hongying was impatient, her eyes reddened with anxiety: "Mom, this pig just has diarrhea, can't we just find someone to take a look? Uncle Li at the village entrance is the best at taking care of pigs, let him take a look and give it some treatment, it won't die!"
Liu Zhaodi also rushed over and said, "Everyone who raises pigs has diarrhea. It's a common thing. My mother's family used to raise pigs and they had diarrhea a few times too. Just show them!"
When Niu Sanni heard this, she couldn't help but say, "Third sister-in-law, that's not what you said just now. You made it sound like the pig was going to die soon..."
Liu Zhaodi blushed and felt extremely ashamed after hearing what Niu Sanni said. She stammered, "I, I'm just worried that something might happen to our pig..."
Miao Xiuju sneered, "Okay, stop acting here. Tell me clearly today who we'll let feed the pigs from now on, and who's responsible if something goes wrong? If a pig dies, whose fault is it? If you can't explain it clearly, we'll keep the pig. If not, quickly send it back to the production team to save me the trouble!"
Niu Sanni quickly fell silent. She couldn't raise the child and didn't have the time, so only her child could raise the child.
Only other people can raise their children, so why can't she interfere? You can't raise their children and yet you criticize them, isn't that bullshit?
Shen Hongying looked at Gu Weiguo for help.
Gu Weiguo was too lazy to even pay attention to Shen Hongying.
Women are women, they are narrow-minded. He had seen it a long time ago. Although he seemed to be straightforward, he was actually narrow-minded, as narrow-minded as a sesame seed.
Gu Weiguo thinks that you should be taught a lesson for saying such things.
Shen Hongying glanced at Liu Zhaodi. Liu Zhaodi felt aggrieved and ashamed, and tears were about to fall.
She snorted coldly, thinking about this useless guy.
I am different from you. I am a real man and I can bend and stretch!
So Shen Hongying bit the bullet and said to Miao Xiuju in a flattering tone, "Mom, the adults in our family are busy, and the older children have to go to school. This can't be delayed, so we still have to trouble Fubao and Shengtian to feed the pigs. It's not easy for the two children to go up the mountain to cut grass and feed the pigs every day. You said that our pigs also eat grains. People will get sick, let alone pigs! Now that it has diarrhea and is sick, let's go see a doctor. Diarrhea is not a big deal anyway. Just take a look. There's no need to send a healthy pig back to the production team. If we really send it back, people will laugh at us and say we are stupid!"
Shen Hongying started talking, and Liu Zhaodi quickly followed up. She pleaded in a low voice, "Mom, what I said just now was wrong. I didn't think it through. Fubao and Shengtian have a hard time taking care of the pigs. Now that something's wrong, we have to treat it quickly..."
Miao Xiuju: "Hey, you have a point. It's not easy for Fubao and Shengtian to take care of this pig. The two children are really tired. It makes me feel bad. Our parents are so busy, why let two children feed the pigs? Feeding pigs is not easy either. It's so hard work. They also have to clean the pigpen, and the smell in the pigpen is not good!"
Liu Zhaodi was dumbfounded. What on earth was her mother singing? What did this even mean?
I've said all the nice things I could and admitted my mistakes, but mother still isn't done?
At this time, there was a loud noise in the pigpen, and Shen Hongying cried out: "Ouch, this pig has pooped again!"
Liu Zhaodi became anxious when she heard this. If the pig continued to poop and got sick and was delayed, it would be a big trouble.
She was anxious and suddenly had an idea: "Mom, Fubao and Shengtian are really working hard to take care of the pigs. Let me see, I want to reward them!"
What is the reward?
Liu Zhaodi suddenly had an idea: "Give them delicious food tonight and reward them with an egg each!"
Shen Hongying glared. "One egg per person? That's too much, isn't it?"
But thinking about the pig, she nodded quickly: "Yes! They should be rewarded with an egg each. It's not easy to have two children!"
Miao Xiuju glanced at them coldly: "Okay, this is what you said. You said reward, then reward it. Actually, I feel bad. Where are the two eggs? Hey, you are really generous!"
Liu Zhaodi felt so miserable when she heard Miao Xiuju's words, which were so flattering, but she thought about the pig and had to accept it. She endured the heartache and said through gritted teeth, "It's not easy to have two children. It's what I deserve, it's what I deserve!"
Fubao and Gu Shengtian were originally dejected, feeling that they had made a big mistake. After listening for a while, they were both a little confused.
They both contributed greatly? They each ate an egg at night?
