Hu Jinshui agreed, mainly because his family really depended on these pigs to make a living, and if he could repay the favor in other ways, he would definitely be happy to do so.
After leaving the Hu family, Liu Xue looked constipated.
"What? You don't want to learn how to raise pigs?" Song Yuehua asked with a smile.
Liu Xue was a little embarrassed. "I'll learn whatever you want me to learn, but that person scares me."
"Hu Jinshui?" Song Yuehua thought for a moment and said, "If you're really scared, then don't learn it."
This made Liu Xue feel ashamed. She gritted her teeth and said, "Learn, of course I should learn. Didn't you say that you would let me manage the pig farm and the chicken farm? If I don't know anything, what can I manage? Not only do I have to learn how to raise pigs, I also want to learn how to raise chickens. Who cares who he is? As long as I can teach him, that's fine!"
Song Yuehua: "..." There is no need to make such a decision to die.
The fact that Master Ma asked her to come to Hu Jinshui to buy a pig is enough to show that he is at least not a bad person.
Song Yuehua praised him, "You really deserve to be the manager of pigs and chickens. You are a man of great awareness!"
"Pig and Chicken Manager?" Liu Xue said with a look of disdain, "How did you come up with such a name? It's too ugly."
Song Yuehua said helplessly, "Then what do you call it?"
"Let me think about it,"
Liu Xue was thinking as she walked, and suddenly she trotted to the front, then turned around and smiled at Song Yuehua, "Just call me Manager Liu!"
It is indeed better than having pigs and chickens in charge.
Song Yuehua praised, "Very good, Manager Liu, I'll rely on you to take care of those animals from now on."
"Leave it to me." Liu Xue patted his chest and said.
After returning home, Zhang Daniu and Zhang Erniu carried back two more loads of potatoes.
Zhang Erniu said, "There are still some in the ground, we can dig them all up today."
Song Yuehua poured a glass of water for each of them and said, "Uncle Da Niu, Uncle Er Niu, thank you for your hard work. Let everyone share the remaining potatoes."
The potatoes in the field have been almost dug up, and each family will just get a few baskets, which is not considered taking advantage of others.
Zhang Erniu was not polite and said straightforwardly, "Okay!"
Song Yuehua added, "We will be slaughtering a pig tomorrow. Please inform everyone and remember to come tomorrow morning."
"I remember." Zhang Daniu said happily, and took a sip of water and asked again, "Daya, who is the man driving the carriage?"
Song Yuehua said, "The guests from the county town might be from a wealthy family somewhere."
Zhang Daniu wanted to ask more, but Zhang Erniu put the bowl on the table and said, "Brother, go back quickly and dig the potatoes today to prevent them from being stolen by rats."
After the two brothers left, Song Yuehua thought that this rat had become famous.
While it was still early, Song Yuehua went to Ma Ye's house and happened to see Ma Ye feeding the cows.
Master Ma asked with a smile, "The potatoes are all sold out, right?"
“Sold out.”
Song Yuehua smiled, then paused, and after a moment, she said, "Grandpa Ma, maybe I'm too suspicious, the situation in the county is a bit complicated, do you want to take a few days off?
Ma Ye's expression also became serious. "I have also inquired about the situation in the county. There is a war at the border, it's just a passing passage, it won't affect us ordinary people."
Song Yuehua lowered her voice and said seriously, "That's what it looks like on the surface, but I always feel like the situation is a little unusual."
Song Yuehua didn't continue speaking.
The two men stood in the cowshed in silence, with only the sound of the old cow chewing.
"Hahaha!" Master Ma laughed suddenly, "Thanks to the girl for thinking of my old horse. My old friend was also exhausted a few days ago, so it's a good opportunity to let him rest for a few days."
Hearing this, Song Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief and said in a relaxed tone, "We're slaughtering a pig at home tomorrow, Grandpa Ma must come to help!"
"Of course, of course!" said Master Ma with a smile.
In the evening, a few young ones were preparing to come over to load potatoes, but they found that there were only a few sacks of potatoes left in the two rooms.
Xiaoyu asked, "Sister Song, have all the potatoes been sold?"
Liu Xue came out of the house and said, "They've all been sold."
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "Tomorrow we won't have a potato feast, let's all have a pig-killing feast together, okay?"
The pig-killing banquet sounds delicious.
The younger ones immediately cheered.
Xie Yu said to Xiaoyu, "When my brother comes back, I will make sure he knows what he has missed."
Xiaoyu also smiled and asked Song Yuehua in private, "Sister, do you want to buy a pig?"
"Yes," Song Yuehua said, "The money from the potatoes this time can be used to buy a pig to eat, which will be more fun!"
Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment and then advised, "Sister, why don't you save some money? One pig is too much..."
Song Yuehua wrung out the towel and wiped Xiaobao's face, smiling, "Don't worry, we can't eat a whole pig at once. Every time we want to eat some meat, we have to go to the county town to buy it, which is expensive and troublesome."
"It's much cheaper to buy a pig and have it slaughtered than to buy individually. The slaughtering party will be lively, and we can share some of the meat with everyone. We can save the rest and eat it ourselves. Do the math, isn't that saving money?"
Xiaoyu couldn't figure it out.
Song Yuehua put the cleaned Xiaobao into her arms, and then took Dabao to continue cleaning. "In our situation, we have a little property at home, so we are afraid that some ignorant people will come to cause trouble. Although I am not afraid, it will be very troublesome."
"Everyone is a good person. At the beginning, they helped us sisters because they felt sorry for us. But we can't just take in and not leave. People are mutual. Xiaoyu, do you understand?"
Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Uncle and aunt are good to us, so we should also be good to them."
"That's right!" Song Yuehua took the handkerchief and wiped Xiaoyu's face with a smile.
Xiaoyu quickly took it, wiped it herself and said, "What if others cause trouble for us again?"
After Song Yuehua finished cleaning up, she sat on the kang, holding Dabao in front of her, looked up at the roof, thought for a while and said, "This kind of thing is very similar to hunting. As long as you calm down and observe carefully, you will find that everyone has weaknesses. As long as you find this point, some people are just paper tigers."
In the evening, Zhou Dafu came over and told Song Yuehua what happened in the field today.
Last night, Mrs. Song stole a basket of potatoes. When Ma Yong saw it, she stopped pretending the next day.
He was carrying a basket with potatoes and was stopped by Ma Yong when he was about to leave.
The two had an argument in the field, and Zhou Dafu came over and asked Mrs. Song to carry a load back, but she couldn't come again. Mrs. Song was not someone who would listen to advice, and when she came again, Zhou Dafu simply threw her basket back.
Mrs. Song was making a lot of noise and even ran to the headman's house, saying that Zhou Dafu was bullying her, an old woman.
Hearing this, Song Yuehua said a little ashamedly, "Uncle Dafu, I really caused you trouble this time."
"It's okay," Zhou Dafu said with a smile, "Mrs. Song is most afraid of my father. Once my father opens his mouth, she dare not act like a demon anymore."
Fortunately, her potatoes are harvested quickly. People like Mrs. Song are always pushing for more. She carried baskets yesterday, and carried baskets today. I don’t know what tricks she will come up with tomorrow.
Fortunately, there were many people this time, more than 20 people collected together, and it was finished in three days.
After everyone left, Song Yuehua returned to the house and counted the silver. She had earned 52 taels today, plus the previous silver, she still had 497 taels.
