Chapter 149 Accident

For convenience, Liu Yinyin made some egg pancakes in the morning.

I also have to prepare food for Gu Yanyan, as Liu Yinyin will not be back at noon.

The kid had to be sent to Liu's house to be taken care of by Jiang Cuihua, which would delay her from going to work for a day.

After thinking about it, Liu Yinyin packed two kilograms of rice and five eggs and waited to take them to Jiang Cuihua.

In addition to breakfast, I packed a lunch box full of egg pancakes to take to the mountain, and also put two eggs in it.

Afraid that Jiang Cuihua was not prepared, she also brought Huang Xiaoyue's meal.

Unexpectedly, Huang Xiaoyue brought her own lunch.

Jiang Cuihua knew that her daughter-in-law was not someone who didn't know the rules.

It's not that I have any opinion against her, I'm just worried that the other two daughters-in-law will be unhappy.

Huang Xiaoyue is going up the mountain with her daughter and will not be back before noon.

Jiang Cuihua prepared some wild vegetable nests for her.

It’s made at home, with fresh, crispy wild vegetables, and plenty of corn flour, which is really thoughtful.

The food in the cafeteria is not as good as this.

After breakfast, the two went up the mountain, still going to the same place as yesterday.

On the way, Liu Yinyin stuffed an egg into her hand and said, "Eat it. I brought two."

Huang Xiaoyue took the egg, smiled and said, "It's better to have fewer people at home."

A family in the village can only raise five chickens, no matter how many people there are.

This leads to the fact that those with a small family cannot eat all the eggs, while those with a large family simply cannot eat enough.

Huang Xiaoyue was once like Liu Yinyin, with only two or three people in her family, and Huang Laizi had only one concubine.

All the eggs in the house were eaten by Huang Xiaoyue, and she could eat as many as she wanted.

But now...

The Liu family has a large population, including several children. As adults, they would definitely save the eggs at home for the children to eat.

Huang Laizi did save some eggs for his daughter, but Huang Xiaoyue felt embarrassed to eat them alone.

Only when I go back to my parents' home occasionally, I'll eat a few more eggs to fill my stomach.

Liu Yinyin changed her mind after hearing this. According to her idea, it would be better for the Liu family to split up.

Now several brothers have married wives.

When a big family stays together, there are bound to be some bumps and bruises, and after a long time, everyone will feel unbalanced.

But she couldn't say this to Huang Xiaoyue. As a new daughter-in-law, she definitely couldn't ask for a division of the family property.

However, as a lady-in-waiting, Liu Yinyin could talk to Jiang Cuihua about it in private, but... the possibility of splitting up the family is not high.

When they reached the mountain, they rested for a while before starting to work.

They are all quick and nimble people, and they plan to finish planting the sweet potatoes today.

The two of them did not stop to rest and were busy until lunch.

I found a stone and sat down.

Liu Yinyin opened the lunch box and asked Huang Xiaoyue to eat the egg pancake together.

Egg pancakes are made of white flour, and Liu Yinyin also adds a lot of oil and eggs, so they are very fragrant.

Huang Xiaoyue said as she ate, "It's delicious."

At this time, not many families can afford to eat egg pancakes.

The mountains are so quiet that even the sound of flowing water in the river can be heard clearly.

Liu Yinyin was enjoying it. She joked, "It's because this place is too far away. Otherwise... maybe we could raise a few chickens here."

Huang Xiaoyue said in shock: "Yinyin, you really dare to think so.

Raising chickens is different from growing vegetables or sweet potatoes. Chickens need to be fed every day.

If you run up and down the mountain all day, people will definitely become suspicious after a while.

Liu Yinyin thought, "It's OK. I can fence off a place. There are wild vegetables on the mountain. When the sweet potatoes grow, I can feed the chickens with the sweet potato leaves. Not to mention raising chickens, raising pigs is also possible, but it's a bit more troublesome."

To raise pigs, you need to cook pig food and feed them twice a day.

Speaking of raising pigs, it's almost time for villagers to catch piglets to raise.

This year...Liu Yinyin actually doesn't want to raise pigs, mainly because raising two pigs is too much trouble.

She wanted to keep just one, but circumstances didn't allow it.

If you raise a pig, you can only hand it over to the collective.

Although she can get money and a few pounds of meat tickets, Liu Yinyin doesn't raise pigs for the sake of making money.

Huang Xiaoyue knew her concerns and suggested, "Why don't you give the pig to your mother to raise? One pig for each family, just enough for two."

There is not much money left at home, so the Liu family will probably only raise one pig this year. Jiang Cuihua is reluctant to eat so much meat, so she must be raising a pig in order to exchange it for money and meat tickets.

The other pig belongs to Liu Yinyin, and she can do with it as she pleases when the time comes.

"I'm afraid of causing trouble for you." Liu Yinyin had thought about this, but it's better to have less trouble than more.

Even if Jiang Cuihua agreed, there are still several sisters-in-law at home. Raising pigs is troublesome. They have to clean the pigpen, collect pig grass and cook pig food.

Afraid that other people might have opinions.

In fact, Liu Yinyin didn't have to raise pigs to eat meat, so she didn't mention this to Jiang Cuihua.

Huang Xiaoyue grumbled, "What's the problem? If you want to raise it, just do it. I'll help you when the time comes."

Raising pigs is not difficult. When she was in Shuangxi Village, Huang Xiaoyue raised the pigs at home herself. A pig could grow to 200 kilograms!

"......Then I'll think about it." Liu Yinyin did not refuse directly. There would be another two difficult years ahead.

The price of pork, like that of grain, will only go up, not down.

It is definitely worthwhile to raise your own pigs.

Huang Xiaoyue thought of something and said, "If you want, I can ask my father to raise another pig, and I will sell the other pig to you when the time comes."

Liu Yinyin blushed and said, "...That's not necessary."

It's too much trouble just to eat more meat.

The matter of raising pigs was put aside for the time being, and after finishing their meal, the two of them started to work again.

Thinking about getting down the mountain early, Liu Yinyin's movements became faster, and so did Huang Xiaoyue.

They didn't turn the ground so neatly.

Just use a hoe to dig out the excess weeds.

After planting the sweet potatoes, they have to be watered. Liu Yinyin brought tools today, a small wooden barrel and a gourd ladle, and put them in a backpack and carried them over.

Finally, around five o'clock in the afternoon.

The two of them finished planting the remaining sweet potato seedlings. Liu Yinyin took a quick look and found that the sweet potato field was about two or three acres along the river.

Liu Yinyin looked quite satisfied.

"Let's go back." Looking up at the sky, Liu Yinyin began to pack her things.

It was getting late and Huang Xiaoyue didn't dare to delay.

After packing up their things, the two hurried down the mountain.

When passing by a bush, Liu Yinyin paused. She had sharp ears and heard a rustling sound not far away...?

The next second, Liu Yinyin immediately pulled Huang Xiaoyue down.

Huang Xiaoyue was a little confused. She knew something was wrong, but she didn't dare to say anything. She looked at Liu Yinyin and asked silently, "What's wrong?"

Liu Yinyin put her finger to her mouth and made a "hmm" sound without saying anything, her eyes fixed straight ahead.

I couldn't help feeling a little nervous, being out in the wild mountains, I was most afraid of encountering wild beasts.
