Chapter 507: Era - The Original Wife Squeezed Away by Her Childhood Sweetheart 21
Village Chief Guo nodded. "I know you well. Just tell me what you think."
Chang Yuhua continued, "The biggest fear in large-scale farming is infectious diseases.
We must tell the villagers that the pig pens must be kept clean and disinfected frequently.
I used to disinfect the pigpen regularly, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to keep so many pigs alive.”
Village Chief Guo agreed very much after hearing this: "You are right, this matter really needs attention.
If swine fever breaks out, the whole village will be in trouble, so we must take it seriously."
The village chief was very decisive in his actions. After talking with Chang Yuhua, he immediately called a meeting of the entire village and explained the matter to them.
The villagers also understood the situation. When every household in the village started raising pigs the next year, each family regarded hygiene as more important than anything else.
Chang Yuhua's belly was big and she basically never went out, but she sent the puppet out to help the piglet pass through.
Besides, so many people in the village want to raise pigs, where can we get piglets on the market?
Now, what she had cultivated in the space before came in handy.
The little piglets that came out of the space are more resistant to various diseases and look more energetic than the ones I bought last year.
Chang Yuhua bought eighty piglets and sixty chickens and ducks at once, and the two rows of pig pens and chicken and duck pens at the back were filled up again.
I originally thought that Aunt Wang and her family would not come to Chang Yuhua to work because they were raising pigs at home this year. Unexpectedly, they said, "We only feed them four times a day and clean up in the morning and evening. We can handle it completely."
Chang Yuhua thought about it and realized that even if the villagers raised pigs, they didn't raise as many as she did. At most, there were only ten pigs, so the labor required was indeed not that much.
Besides, she was very satisfied with the work done by Aunt Wang and the other two, and really didn't want to replace them.
This year, Chang Yuhua's pigs were fed with sweet potato residue.
I made vermicelli all winter last year and had a lot of sweet potato scraps left over.
Besides, all the bran in the house was used up last year, and now she was pregnant with a big belly, so she had no chance to go out and pretend to carry bran home.
It’s just April and there’s still half a month left until the due date.
One morning, Chang Yuhua's water broke as soon as she got out of bed.
At that time, Aunt Wang was feeding pigs in the backyard, and Erniu's father was farming in the yard with several people hired by Chang Yuhua.
There was only an ox cart in the village, and Chang Yuhua knew that it would be too late to send herself to the hospital at this time.
She slowly walked to the back window, opened it, and shouted at the top of her voice: "Aunt Wang, please help me find a midwife, I'm about to give birth!"
Aunt Wang was stunned at first, then she responded loudly: "Don't be afraid, Yuhua, I'll come and help you!"
Then he shouted to Erniu's father who was working in the distance: "Erniu's father, go call the midwife quickly, Yuhua is about to give birth!"
As she ran into the house, she was worried that Chang Yuhua would be scared because it was her first time giving birth.
When Erniu's father heard this, he threw away the farm tools in his hands and ran out the door.
On the way, he deliberately turned to the house of Village Chief Guo, called Aunt Guo to Chang Yuhua's house, and continued to rush to the midwife's house.
Chang Yuhua gave birth to this baby very quickly. She had all kinds of elixirs in her space. After calling Aunt Wang for help, she directly took the elixirs that were beneficial to childbirth.
In just four hours, a beautiful little girl was born.
Chang Yuhua had previously made an appointment with a sister-in-law in the village to take care of her during the confinement period, and Aunt Guo also came to help from time to time.
Chang Yuhua was very grateful that it happened now. In a few years, the policies would become stricter and it would be difficult to hire people to help.
There are pros and cons to having a military husband.
The advantage is that she is very free. She can take out things from the space, use them up, and then put them back directly without worrying about being discovered by Fu Wenshan.
The downside is that now, when I need his help, I can't find him at all.
Fortunately, there is a puppet in the space. She can leave the child to the puppet at night and sleep soundly.
There was always someone helping me at home during the day, so I didn’t feel too tired.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it was 1953.
Chang Yuhua knew that this year's Anti-Eagle and Aid Fat Campaign was about to end, and Fu Wenshan would be back soon.
In the past two years, the military district has had soldiers coming down from the battlefield from time to time.
Some were seriously injured, and some returned directly with urns of ashes.
It’s hard to say how much affection Chang Yuhua has for Wenshan. In her eyes, the two of them are just living together.
But I don't want to see him leave alone, standing upright, and come back lying down.
Chang Yuhua had also received two letters from Fu Wenshan before, both of which were brought back together with the wounded. The letters said that he was fine.
Even if Chang Yuhua wanted to write him a reply, she didn't know where to send it.
Now that Fu Wenshan is coming back, Chang Yuhua holds his photo every day and teaches little Fu Changning to call him "Dad".
The child is now two years old and can speak fluently, but to her, "Dad" is just the person in the photo.
Ever since Fu Changning was born, Chang Yuhua has never set up a stall again.
I have to take care of this little brat at home all day long, so I don’t have the energy to do anything else.
Fortunately, I raise poultry and livestock at home, and I also have a vermicelli workshop that can make money.
Otherwise, given Chang Yuhua's usual lavish spending habits, Aunt Guo and other aunts would have long ago advised her to be more frugal.
That day, Chang Yuhua was picking eggs in the chicken coop in the backyard when she suddenly heard Fu Changning shouting "Mom" at the top of her voice.
Chang Yuhua's heart skipped a beat, thinking something had happened, and she quickly came out of the chicken coop.
"Changning, what's wrong? Mom is here!"
She saw Fu Changning stumbling and running towards her on his short legs.
"Mom, there's a bad guy at home. He wants to take me away. Mom, please save me!"
When Chang Yuhua heard this, she was so scared that she immediately hugged the child in her arms and picked up the stick she usually used to beat pigs.
She thought to herself that it was unlikely that any bad people would come.
After all, this village is the most united village she has ever seen in all the worlds she has traveled through.
Whenever a stranger came, the aunts and ladies at the village entrance would interrogate him or her and find out everything about him or her.
Besides, how fast can a two-year-old run? If a bad guy really wanted to catch her, she wouldn't be able to take even a step, let alone run the long distance from the front yard to the chicken coop.
But what if? Isn't it always a good thing to be safe?
The next moment, Chang Yuhua saw a man in military uniform with his arm in a bandage walking towards him from behind. It was Fu Wenshan.
Chang Yuhua looked at him and tears flowed unconsciously.
For the hard work and grievance of raising the child alone for so long, and also for the end of the aid war so that the soldiers can finally go home.
Fu Wenshan had a deep scar on his brow bone, which looked like a knife wound, making him look more fierce.
