The next afternoon, Liu Xue and Qin Xiuxiu returned with two carts of pigs.
In order to feed 50 piglets, Qin Xiuxiu managed to grind 1,000 kilograms of bran from the pig keeper.
You should know that a bag of bran weighs 100 jin, and 1 bag costs 70 wen, so 1000 jin costs 700 wen.
It’s almost a piglet, and the last time Song Yuehua bought 20 piglets, she only gave her 200 kilograms for free.
Song Yuehua was extremely impressed and gave Tan Xiuxiu a thumbs up.
Tan Xiuxiu didn't understand what it meant, so Liu Xue explained, "It means you are awesome."
"Oh, that's not great. If I wasn't afraid of coming back late, I would have asked him for 2,000 kilograms." Qin Xiuxiu said shyly, holding her face.
Yes, she is a good bargainer. I will take Tan Xiuxiu with me when I go shopping in the future, and I will definitely not suffer any loss.
Song Yuehua asked casually, "Aunt Qin, have you ever heard of anyone in the village raising sows? It's not cost-effective to always buy them like this."
Tan Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, then said seriously, "You can try raising a few sows. Hu Jinshui's family raised some before, but later they stopped because they heard it was not profitable. Why don't you go and ask them first?"
Hu Jinshui is a big pig farmer in the village, so it wouldn't be wrong to ask him.
There is still a long way to go before we can make piglets completely self-sufficient. The main problem now is that we don’t have enough funds and sows are too expensive, so we have to raise boars for the time being.
So many piglets came to the pig farm at once, and everyone started to get busy. Song Yuehua also had to go see Zhu Yanli.
Gao Wazi took the piglets out of the cage truck. Each one of them was crying and looked quite lively.
For the piglets that have just arrived here, Liu Xue usually feeds them some water, lets them adapt for a day, and then feeds them some soft pig food.
Grandma Xi was outside cooking pig food. When Liu Xue went over to see, she found that Grandma Xi was cooking in two pots.
"Grandma Xi, the piglets were just brought home, so they might be a little frightened. Can't we wait until tomorrow to feed them?"
Liu Xue remembered that this is what Hu Jinshui said to her.
Grandma Xi gestured for a while, and Ji Ming came over and explained, "Grandma cooks them separately. The pot for the piglets is different from the ordinary pig food, so don't worry."
Since she was the one who asked her master to take the person down at that time, naturally she had to trust her. Liu Xue nodded.
In addition to food, hygiene is also extremely important. Liu Xue took a shovel and went into the pigpen to clean with Ding Cuigu and Liu Youfu.
Wen Xiaohua and Granny Lan were cleaning the chicken farm. As soon as they reached the door carrying chicken manure, they shouted inside, "Manager Liu, someone's looking for you!"
Liu Xue stood up from the pigpen and asked, "Who is it?"
When she arrived at the door, she saw that it was Hu Jinshui, who was busy at the moment. Liu Xue asked, "Brother Jinshui, what's the matter?"
"No, I just looked at the pigherd's cage cart. Why didn't you ask me to help you pick out the piglets when you bought them?" Hu Jinshui said.
There was no need to tell him about the compound every time. Liu Xue felt it was a bit strange. "I went there with Aunt Tan. I don't want to bother you all the time."
"Why would it be troublesome? It's not troublesome at all..." Hu Jinshui scratched his nose and asked, "Well, next time..."
"Manager Liu, what are you chatting about here?"
Granny Lan came over and stood between the two of them. She said to Liu Xue, "Why don't you go inside and watch over those two guys? They're about to start a fight. Go and take a look."
Did Ji Ming and Gao Wazi fight?
Before Liu Xue could figure out what was going on, she was pulled in by Grandma Lan.
Hu Jinshui also wanted to go in and take a look, but Granny Lan stopped him outside the door and said, "There are only women inside, it's not appropriate for you to go in."
"Didn't you say there were two guys?" Hu Jinshui reacted quickly.
"Those are all children. It's very busy inside right now. Don't come in and make trouble!"
After Grandma Lan finished speaking, she immediately closed the door of the pig farm.
Hu Jinshui stood outside for a while and then left.
Inside the pig farm, Granny Lan pulled Liu Xue aside and said, "That guy surnamed Hu has no good intentions. You should avoid talking to him in private."
Although what Hu Jinshui said today was indeed uncomfortable, Liu Xue felt that it was not necessary to this extent.
"Brother Jinshui also taught us how to raise pigs. He helped us so much. It would be bad if I didn't say anything."
"Well, that won't work either." said Granny Lan.
Liu Xue took Granny Lan's hand and said, "Then when we talk to him from now on, can we just find a place where there are people around?"
"Avoid it if you can." Granny Lan was worried and reminded again and again.
Song Yuehua sat with Zhu Yanli in her room for a while.
There were several crudely handmade dolls placed at the end of the bed. Song Yuehua pretended not to see them, walked to the side and picked up the little doll with squinting eyes.
After a few days of care, the baby's skin has grown a lot, but it still looks so fragile.
After holding the baby for a while, Zhu Yanli smiled and said, "You are not very old, but you are quite skilled at holding a baby."
"When we first separated, Dabao and Xiaobao were about this size," said Song Yuehua.
Zhu Yanli half-lay down, looking at her thoughtfully and said, "You are really capable. You earn what you want. You have raised a child and made money..."
Seeing her sad look, Song Yuehua asked worriedly, "Are you suffering from postpartum depression?"
"What do you mean?" Zhu Yanli asked.
Song Yuehua explained, "I feel like I'm stuck in my heart, I can't figure it out, I can't get over it, I can't control myself, do you have this feeling?"
Zhu Yanli laughed, lay down on the bed, tilted her head and smiled, "I'm not that sad, I just found out that people can still live like this."
"Do you regret it?" Song Yuehua asked.
"I can't really say," Zhu Yanli pursed her lips and said, "I don't have any skills, I'm lazy, and I just enjoy life. It seems that there is no better way."
"Don't reminisce about the past anymore. Think about the future instead." Song Yuehua put the baby next to Zhu Yanli.
Duan Yidao's voice was heard from outside, and Zhu Yanli sighed softly.
When Song Yuehua came out of the house, she saw Duan Yidao carrying a bucket of fish and talking to Granny Wang, "These are freshly caught from the mountains. They're free. Let's make some soup."
They said it was for everyone to eat, but everyone knew it was for Zhu Yanli.
Granny Wang looked embarrassed.
Song Yuehua leaned over to take a look and asked, "Did you fish it out from the pond in Bugui Mountain?"
Duan Yidao chuckled twice.
"Granny Wang, please accept it. Add some vermicelli to it." Song Yuehua said and was about to go back.
Duan Yidao shouted from behind, "Girl, there are two for you. I'll send them to you later."
Song Yuehua waved her hand.
After returning home, Song Yuehua called Xie Wenwu over and said, "Dabao and Xiaobao will be two years old the day after tomorrow. Please make a cake for them."
Xie Wenwu smiled and said, "The cake must be made, but I also prepared something else."
"What are you preparing for?" Song Yuehua asked.
Xie Wenwu exclaimed, took two steps back, and said as he stepped back, "It's hard to find out. Everyone will know it by then anyway."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran into the house.
Song Yuehua, "..."
