Lin Yulan looked at the girl and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she didn't say anything about not going. She just reminded her gently,
"When you're out, you have to listen to your uncle and aunt, stay close to the adults, and don't run around..."
Liu Ni kept nodding, indicating that she would definitely be obedient, and her little expression made the two adults laugh.
Chen Chunhua sighed in her heart. In fact, if possible, she actually wanted to wait until the children were on summer vacation to go together.
In her previous life, she had never taken her children on a long journey. Later, when she was old, she would often hear her grandson telling her where his parents had taken him to play, and what was so fun at grandma's place...
She was so envious at that time, but unfortunately she was old and had been farming all her life, so she felt tired if she went out and sat in the car all the time.
Even if the little grandson asked grandma to go with him next time, Chen Chunhua could only smile and touch his head.
In fact, she was not envious of where they could go to play, but she envied the feeling of traveling together as a family, which she had never experienced.
That's why she actively invited everyone to climb Xiaxi Mountain during the Chinese New Year. That day was a rare trip for the whole family, but it was too close and could only be considered an outing at best.
However, even when the children were on summer vacation, she couldn't take them out. Summer vacation coincided with the double harvest season, and farmers couldn't leave their rice fields to go out and play. Regardless of what outsiders would think, Lin Guoqing and Liang Shengdi would probably scold her and ask if she had eaten something dirty.
So I really don’t have that much energy and time. Besides, now that the chicken coop is built, I can definitely make money the sooner I can get chickens in. So what’s the point of putting it off?
Forget it. When she can buy food without food coupons next year or the year after, she will discuss with Lin Guoqing how to rent out the land!
This land has been cultivated enough. As long as the land exists, they will never have time to go out as a family!
Lin Guoqing was used to going to Shanghai. He said the train would only take about two and a half hours, not too far. He would just prepare and be ready to go at any time.
He had never been to the suburbs where the chicken breeding farm was located. If it was too remote, they might have to stay there for a night.
Finding accommodation would be a hassle.
In the past two years, the control has been relaxed. You need a letter of introduction to go anywhere. In some small places, private guesthouses are secretly opened and you can stay there for a fee.
The security is not high and the environment is not good.
State-owned guesthouses are much better, providing heating, dining areas, and telephones. Some higher-end guesthouses even have air conditioning.
It is just a bit more expensive than ordinary guesthouses, and you need a letter of introduction from your workplace to stay there.
When Lin Guoqing goes out alone, the factory will give him accommodation subsidies. He will then choose the cheapest one to stay in, and the extra room is his.
But since he wanted to take his wife and niece out, he thought it would be better to ask the factory to open a room for two more people so that they could live in a better place.
A month in advance, I asked someone to buy round-trip train tickets for three people. They were hard seats and the journey would only take two and a half hours, so there was no need for soft seats.
After Chen Chunhua finished building the new chicken coop and ventilated it, they moved the original two or three hundred chickens into the coop, and then expanded and cleaned up the duck coop by the riverbank.
Liu Ni suggested starting to raise ducks in captivity, which would also help increase egg production. Her night school teacher said that if well-raised ducks are raised in captivity, their egg production rate can reach over 85% in both the coldest winter and hottest summer.
Chen Chunhua sighed, "Did your teacher teach us how to raise geese?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Ni didn't hear the helplessness in Chen Chunhua's tone, and took out the notebook she used to put under her head when she slept and started flipping through it.
"Actually, geese are the most numerous of my country's herbivorous poultry! Well... our local breed is the Zhedong White Goose, but it doesn't lay many eggs, only 3-4 clutches per year, with around 10 eggs per clutch. Its reproduction rate is far lower than that of chickens and ducks. If we want more goslings, we have to..."
"Liu Ni~" Chen Chunhua couldn't help sighing when she saw her densely packed notes.
"Let's take it slow, ah~"
"Let's first raise that new breed of chicken in stepped cages. Once they're fully developed, we can then work on the caged ducks you mentioned, and then the geese, okay?"
Take it one step at a time, we have plenty of time."
There's a brand new mushroom house waiting for her to work on! If it's really like Liu Ni wants, it will require the latest breeding technology and modern scientific breeding. I'm afraid even bringing everyone in the family here won't be enough.
All the knowledge they have now is based on theories in books. Even if farmers give them empirical data, they still have to verify it step by step.
Who can really become fat by eating all at once?
Liu Ni probably knew that she was too impatient, and scratched her head embarrassedly to indicate that she understood.
Chen Chunhua has not yet developed any new technology for the mushroom house. Since she is going to Shanghai anyway, she plans to go there first to see what kinds of mushrooms are more popular and sell at a high price in the big city.
If you have notes in your notebook, buy some and study them.
The train tickets were booked on a weekday, and Chen Chunhua followed Lin Guoqing and took Ma Liuni on the train to Shanghai.
Why weekdays? Because there were too many children at home on weekends. If she and Lin Guoqing were not at home, she was afraid that the children would tear down the new house they had built with their frugal savings!
Liu Ni took out twenty yuan and wanted to give it to Lin Guoqing, which made Lin Guoqing confused.
"Why are you giving me this?"
Liu Ni licked her lips embarrassedly.
"I don't know how much the train ticket is... and that guesthouse you mentioned... if twenty isn't enough..."
"You girl! You haven't woken up yet!"
Lin Guoqing stuffed the twenty dollars back in a bad mood, "Are you settling accounts with your uncle? Then do I have to pay for dinner at your house next time?"
"This is different!" Liu Ni dodged Lin Guoqing's hand, shook her head and said the reasoning that Wu Ni had analyzed with her before coming.
"Fifth Sister said, let's put things in perspective. Now that I'm determined to start a farm with my aunt, and I'm not an employee, I'm a... what... shareholder! Yes! I'm, uh, investing in technology! My aunt said I'm also one of the owners."
I was never left out when the money was divided, so I can't take advantage of others when the money was spent.
This time I went out to work, and you all paid for it out of your own pockets, not from the farm's account, right? Then I must pay for it myself too!
Even brothers should settle accounts clearly! You have to take this money, otherwise you won't be able to settle accounts later."
Liu Ni finished her words with great vigor, but then became listless again the next second.
"I just don't know if it's enough..."
Ahhh, why did she only take out 20 yuan! She should have taken more!
