Jiang Wanqiao didn't know what would happen to her because she chose to stay in Xiangyang Village and continued to study and read for a long time.
At this moment she was staring at the clod of earth she had dug out.
She found an earthworm.
She has long been accustomed to encountering all kinds of insects in the countryside. She can pick up the green caterpillars in the vegetable garden and throw them to the chickens without batting an eyelid.
What's more, it's just an earthworm.
Earthworms can also be fed to chickens.
But during the busy farming season, only children would talk about digging earthworms and taking them home to feed the chickens or ducks.
Only children have time to do this; adults wouldn't even think of spending time digging for this thing.
Each household is allowed to raise three poultry, and most families choose to raise chickens.
Raising chickens is much more convenient as long as you keep them in the yard and prevent them from destroying the vegetable garden.
Moreover, eggs are great for nourishing the body or for saving them and taking them to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange for money to supplement household expenses.
Jiang Wanqiao has to take care of her children all the time, so she doesn't have much time to dig for earthworms.
"It would be great if I could raise earthworms. It would be much easier to feed the chickens then." Jiang Wanqiao said to herself.
By the way, raise earthworms.
She had an idea, but she didn't know how to raise earthworms.
If only there were a book that could tell us about this.
However, if you can't find the book, just try to look it up yourself. It won't waste much time anyway.
Jiang Wanqiao did it right away. In the afternoon, he found an old wooden box filled with miscellaneous items, dug some soft black soil, and then put the earthworms in it.
In order to avoid the light, I picked up a lot of dead branches and leaves and piled them up.
After thinking about it, I threw all the rotten vegetable leaves from the vegetable garden into the wooden box.
She wasn't sure if this would work, but the Lu family had no objection to her tinkering with it.
Jiang Wanqiao tinkered around but still felt it was unreliable. It would be great if someone could teach her how to raise them.
She asked the Lu family, and they said no one had ever mentioned raising earthworms.
Jiang Wanqiao couldn't find anyone, and from time to time she looked at the wooden box that had been moved to the corner where it couldn't get any sunlight, wondering if it could survive.
"Qiao Qiao, stop bothering. This thing is everywhere in the fields. What's the point of raising it?" Lu Daqiao didn't understand.
"Daqiao, if we raise these earthworms well and feed them to chickens, wouldn't they lay more eggs?"
The chickens dig for food in the yard, eating earthworms, insects, grass, stems and leaves, and also the vegetables grown in the yard.
Of course we can’t let them eat it, there’s not enough food for everyone.
At most, I would eat some vegetable leaves that had been gnawed by insects.
If the earthworms are raised well, and chickens eat more of them, just like people like to eat meat, it will be nutritious and they will naturally lay eggs every day.
Jiang Wanqiao had a good idea.
And want to try.
Seeing that she was thinking about it and taking it seriously, Lu Daqiao simply stopped trying to persuade her and instead gave her some advice.
"Qiao Qiao, what are you thinking about? You haven't said anything for a long time."
Jiang Wanqiao frowned in confusion. "I've never raised earthworms before, so I don't know how to do it. I'd like to ask someone, but who should I ask?"
Lu Daqiao said flexibly, "The most knowledgeable and well-read people in the village are the educated youth. Otherwise, you can go ask them."
"Right! Why don't you ask Xu Zhiqing? She knows a lot, maybe she knows how to raise it?"
Jiang Wanqiao's eyes lit up and she hesitated a little. She had lost contact with them since she gave birth to the child. She was a little hesitant to go find them.
Lu Daqiao saw what Jiang Wanqiao was thinking. "Go ahead, Qiaoqiao. They came to see you after you gave birth. Don't go empty-handed. There are eggs in the cupboard. Take a few with you."
Lu Daqiao is rough but meticulous, and he can think of these things.
Jiang Wanqiao nodded and said, "Then I'll go there this afternoon."
"Go ahead. Xu Zhiqing isn't working in the fields, so he should be at home."
"Qiao Qiao, do you regret it? If you hadn't married me and had no children, would you still be able to go to college?" Lu Daqiao felt a little guilty.
The uneasiness in his eyes was obvious.
Lu Daqiao really likes Jiang Wanqiao. If it weren’t for what happened before, he thinks there would be no intersection between them.
Although, he would secretly look at Jiang Wanqiao when he was at work.
But I never had the courage to say a word to her.
Even among his peers, he always seemed carefree.
He has become uneasy since the college entrance examination was resumed.
He has a lot of worries.
Will she also want to take the college entrance examination?
Would she really just leave like the villagers said?
If I really leave, what will happen to the children?
If she really wants to leave, should I let her go?
Lu Daqiao thought a lot on the night he heard that the college entrance examination had been resumed.
That night, the child kept crying. Jiang Wanqiao comforted the child. After he held the child over, he softly asked, "Qiaoqiao, do you want to take the college entrance examination?"
If she passes the college entrance examination, she can go to university.
The child was too small, only three or four months old. How could Jiang Wanqiao put him down?
"No, I have you and the child with me, I can't let go."
Just this one sentence made Lu Daqiao feel at ease.
He could only work hard and give her and their children the best life he could.
"Why are you saying this again? It's not that easy to pass the college entrance examination, and you can't just go to university. Don't think too much about it. The child is still young, and I can't bear to leave my An An."
Jiang Wanqiao glanced at Lu Daqiao and said, "What are you thinking about all day? If you don't want to sleep, go make me a wooden box."
Lu Daqiao was talking to Jiang Wanqiao and didn't want to go to sleep.
