Chapter 269 Digging Sweet Potatoes



But how much bran and millet can you buy with the remaining 60-odd yuan?

Ning Jing had already taken care of these things at home.

So she thought that she should first have Xu Changjiu exchange work points for bran with the other villagers. As long as those families weren't stupid, they would know that they could exchange it for money by the end of the year.

However, Ning Jing's plan was well-thought-out, but the villagers did not buy it.

Although the idea of ​​exchanging work points for bran was very appealing, some people felt that the number of work points exchanged was too small and not worthwhile.

So some people thought, let's wait and see how others do it, and then we'll decide later.

Everyone thought the same thing, so naturally, things quickly reached a stalemate.

When Tan Dingguo returned with the chicks, ducklings, bran, and millet, the villagers were immediately excited.

With so many chickens and ducks, if this really works out, how much profit could we expect to make?

Thinking of this, many villagers who had originally intended to keep it to themselves contributed their bran.

Of course, the work points still need to be exchanged.

Ning Jing husked all the rice grains that could be husked at home, and even bought some wheat from the mall, getting two bags of flour to store at home.

She told the children at home that she had spent money to buy it, which made Xiuhua feel very sorry for herself.

She couldn't bear to part with the black face before, let alone this snow-white face.

On the very first day after she got the flour, she made a bowl of noodles for everyone in her family and also sent a bowl to the Zhao family next door. Xiuhua then tied up her pockets and hid the rest of the flour.

This action left Ning Jing both amused and exasperated.

The purchased items, including the bran we exchanged, should be enough to feed the chicks and ducklings for a long time.

During this time, I would soak some millet and feed it to the chicks and ducklings.

We only feed them once a day, and otherwise we take them to the hillside to find their own food.

When we get back, we'll feed them some chopped earthworms.

Because these chicks and ducklings are still small, all of this food together is actually enough to fill them up.

It can be said that these chicks and ducklings, just like the dozen or so chicks in her house, have grown up to a visible extent.

By this time, almost a month had passed.

In the days immediately following Fu Hongxing's departure, Ning Jing often thought about him.

Later, when things got busy, I would basically go home, eat dinner, check Tie Dan and the others' homework, wash up, and fall asleep immediately. I simply didn't have the time or energy to think about Fu Hongxing.

Now, almost a month has passed, and things at the farm are on track.

In addition, Fu Hongxing had told Ning Jing that he would be back after about a month on his business trip.

These past few days, Ning Jing has been lying in bed, unable to stop wondering if Fu Hongxing is on his way back.

However, it only allowed her to overthink for two days.

Because the sweet potatoes in the village are almost ripe.

Sweet potatoes are a lifesaver for almost every household every year, so everyone takes them very seriously, with adults and children from every family pitching in.

Perhaps because the river water was applied frequently this time, when harvesting sweet potatoes, almost every vine was laden with sweet potatoes when the hoe was turned down.

Almost every sweet potato is about the size of an adult man's fist.

The sweet potato vines can be cut down and chopped up to feed the pigs.

Children don't have the arm strength or the skill to dig down a sweet potato with a hoe without damaging it.

So, the women were responsible for cutting the vines in front, the men were responsible for digging behind, and then the children were behind, dragging baskets, picking up the sweet potatoes that had been turned up from the ground and throwing them into the baskets one by one.
