Looking at the land adjacent to each other and not far from the newly built house, Zhiyin was extremely satisfied with the three acres of wasteland that the Zhi family had given her, especially since it was at the foot of the back mountain.
It's really convenient.
Upon arriving at the location, seeing the three well-built chicken coop, duck coop, and goose coop that were impervious to wind and rain, Zhiyin's eyes were filled with joy.
"Second brother, thank you so much! This is much better than I expected!"
She was genuinely surprised; she had initially thought it was just some random enclosure made of bricks or a fence.
That's not the case. These three chicken and duck sheds have doors and are completely sealed off, so the chickens will be absolutely safe.
"What's this? Let's go inside and take a look..."
The second brother smiled憨厚ly, and then proudly and with a great sense of accomplishment, led the way, gesturing for Zhiyin and her two children to follow him into the chicken coop.
The second brother had already laid a large pile of rice husks on the ground in the chicken coop, making it look very clean and tidy.
The house is not completely enclosed; there are three or four holes to allow air to circulate.
"Anyway, the land outside is yours too, so just plant some vegetables outside, let the chickens roam freely during the day, and bring them back to the coop at night."
At this point, the second brother looked at Zhiyin seriously and added, "By the way, Yinyin, perhaps we could buy some barbed wire to fence off your land."
"In that case, chickens, ducks and geese can only move around within this area on a daily basis."
"I'll buy another lock so I can lock the doors to the chicken coop, duck coop, and goose coop tonight. Otherwise, I suspect someone might steal chickens."
At this point, he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "It's not that I'm being cynical, it's just that..."
Although the second brother didn't finish his sentence, Zhiyin naturally understood what he meant.
People pass by her all day long, and her newly built house is not far away.
So no one dared to lay a finger on these chickens, ducks, and geese.
But it doesn't work at night.
After all, nowadays most people can barely get enough to eat and are not going to starve to death.
Meat remains very expensive and a luxury, and many families can only afford to eat it once a year.
Especially when a customer buys too much, some people get envious and develop bad intentions.
Not everyone is of high moral character and can resist such temptation.
"Don't worry, Second Brother, I understand, I've bought it."
Zhiyin was certainly prescient, having bought three large locks in advance.
He immediately took the lock out of the mule cart.
"By the way, second brother, I might need your help with the barbed wire. I'm not quite sure how much we'll need."
"It's nothing, just minor issues. We're just a little short on materials anyway. I'll have to go to the county tomorrow to buy some and pack them."
"Okay, second brother, I'll give you a ride tomorrow."
"As for the money, you don't need to worry about it. Just ask me for it."
"good."
After a brief chat, the second brother took Zhiyin to see the newly dug fish pond.
It was also not far from the chicken and duck sheds.
The moment she looked at the fishpond, Zhiyin's eyes crinkled with laughter.
The pool was about half the size of a running track. The second brother had already filled it with water, which looked crystal clear. There were volcanic rocks and a lot of aquatic plants at the bottom.
Seemingly sensing his friend's confusion, the second brother explained with a smile, "Since we're raising fish, we need aquatic plants like centipede grass, otherwise the water will stink."
After saying that, he became a little uncertain, "Um... but I just heard it from someone else, I don't know if it's feasible?"
"If Yinyin finds these water plants an eyesore, can she scoop them out?"
This is the fruit of my second brother's labor, how could Zhiyin possibly ruin it? She quickly waved her hand, "No need, second brother, you did the right thing."
Moreover, the connoisseur knew that this was the right thing to do. After all, the water was stagnant, and aquatic plants could purify it. When exposed to sunlight, these aquatic plants could perform photosynthesis, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen for the fish to breathe.
It is undoubtedly a very good breeding environment.
Zhiyin suddenly felt that her breeding genes had awakened, and she was really eager to get started.
I can't wait to catch small fish, shrimp, and snails to raise in it.
"Second brother, you may have to work a little harder during this period."
"Oh right, I've been forgetting to tell you about your wages. How about I give you 150 coins a day?"
"I've troubled you too much."
Zhiyin genuinely felt that her second brother was a good person, and he wholeheartedly cared for their family, running around doing everything for them.
Sometimes we may need to work overtime, which is really hard and worrying.
Therefore, Zhiyin doesn't feel like he's given too much, because Second Brother deserves it!
"Oh, no need to be so polite, Yinyin. We're all from the same village."
"Besides, since you call me 'brother,' then you're my sister. Why should we care about such things between siblings?"
"No need to give so much. If it weren't for you, I'd still be worrying about how to earn money!"
"Just give him 80 coins a day, like the other villagers."
The second brother felt extremely flattered, after all, he really felt that what he had done was nothing special.
Looking into her second brother's sincere and bright eyes, Zhiyin felt a warmth in her heart.
She quickly added, "Oh, second brother, I know you treat me like your own sister, but even brothers need to keep clear accounts. How could I let you suffer a loss?"
“You and your second sister-in-law still have to raise children! Your own house is dilapidated and needs to be repaired.”
"Yes, yes, Dazhuang, if you really don't accept it, then we'll feel even more embarrassed."
