After seeing Aunt Cuiyun off, Lu Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At first, she was a little uncomfortable with this kind of ritualistic mutual shirking and interpersonal exchanges, but she had to adapt to it. After all, this is how it is in the countryside.
In fact, Lu Xia is quite popular, mainly because she had previously helped two families in the village buy brown sugar.
Everyone thinks that she and Jiang Junmo are capable, so they are willing to make friends with her, thinking that they will have someone to help them if something happens in the future.
Of course, although it was help, money had to be paid, and it was more expensive than the supply and marketing cooperative, after all, it required ticket money. She already had a lot of brown sugar, and the Jiang family also sent a lot of sugar tickets one after another, so they were not short of money.
But in fact, many people came to Lu Xia, and she didn't help all of them. She only helped those who she thought were nice people or those in special need. Before, two families had people giving birth, and they bought the gifts for the pregnant women.
But the villagers are already very satisfied, after all, they can't buy it themselves.
Even if Lu Xia rejected someone, she would always find a suitable reason so that people would not get angry, so everyone understood and had a good impression of her.
So, in a sense, she is now considered to be the one among the educated youth who gets along best with the villagers.
After seeing Aunt Cuiyun off, Lu Xia returned and saw Jiang Junmo staring at the five half-grown chicks in a daze.
...
...
So he asked, "Do we need to make a chicken coop?"
Jiang Junmo nodded, "I'll do it."
Lu Xia followed his lead, "Then I'll go get a bowl for them to eat, but what do they eat, food?"
Jiang Junmo was also a little confused, "Should be...right?"
But after Lu Xia asked, he thought about it and felt that it was unlikely. In this day and age, it is not possible to waste money like this, right?
"I'll go ask later."
"good."
So when Jiang Junmo was at the chicken nest, Lu Xia went to the village to ask, and then he found out that at that time, chickens were not fed any grain.
Yes, food was so hard to come by in those days. People couldn’t even afford to eat it, so how could they possibly feed it to chickens!
Their staple food is bran, which is sometimes mixed with vegetables.
The vegetables can be home-cooked ones, or you can use wild vegetables if you don’t want to. The kind of popo ding that Lu Xia ate in the spring before, old people don’t like to eat it when they grow up, but chickens like to eat it if it is chopped up, and there are a lot of these things outside, so feeding them these will help them grow.
Lu Xia finally understood, but their family didn't have any bran. The bran in the space was directly absorbed after the grain was peeled, so they exchanged some in the village. Every household had this thing, and it was very cheap.
Jiang Junmo only took one day to build a simple chicken coop, and then the five chickens settled down in his home.
Lu Xia occasionally fed them some spiritual spring water, hoping that they would grow up quickly and lay eggs, so that she wouldn't have to buy them then.
While Lu Xia and the others were thinking about raising chickens, Gu Xiangnan and Su Man's house was finally about to be built.
Originally they planned to cover it as soon as the thaw came, but after the thaw the village was busy with spring plowing.
Later they were busy picking wild vegetables and selling mountain products. They couldn't delay others from making money. They estimated that other people would not give up such a good opportunity to make money to build a house, so they could only put it off until now.
The two did not build the house together. Su Man built it first and then Gu Xiangnan. The place where they built the house was right next to Lu Xia's house. The distance was not far, so they could probably hear each other talking in the yard.
In this way, Lu Xia and his family's house was right between their house and the educated youth site, with Su Man next to them, and Gu Xiangnan and Li Yi on the other side.
