206. Is it reasonable for a dove to occupy a magpie's nest?
As soon as the mother and daughter entered the kitchen, Xiang Lan stood up from the stove, then rushed out with a ladle. Seeing her like that, Xiang Jin asked her mother, "Why is she going?"
Yang Juyun said, "I have to feed her pheasants again. Alas, leave her alone. That girl keeps an eye on her pheasants every day."
Xiang Jin was amused, "Not to mention, I almost forgot about those chickens. How old are you now?"
"It's so big," Yang Juyun said, "I guess it will lay eggs in February or March next year."
"Ah, does it take so long?" Xiang Jin was a little confused.
Yang Juyun nodded, "Absolutely. Don't ordinary chickens only lay eggs when they are seven or eight months old?"
Xiang Jin said, "Why do I remember that an average chicken can lay eggs in three or four months?"
Yang Juyun said, "You are talking about feed chickens. Feed chickens and feed pigs grow very fast, especially feed pigs. They can turn a little piglet into a big fat pig in about half a year."
But people here have corn and sweet potatoes at home, and no one is willing to spend that money to buy feed, so they generally grow up eating grain."
Xiang Jin thought to himself, no wonder people in the city like to buy free-range eggs from farmers. It seems that you should not eat too much of these hormone-induced things, otherwise people will also be affected by hormones.
Xiang Jin walked to the stove and took a look at the braised pork, and then said to her mother, "Bring it for another half an hour before turning off the heat. Mom, you have to remember, this is braised pork."
The fire should not be too high, just simmer it slowly so that the meat is delicious and the meat will not become soft."
Yang Juyun nodded, "Yes, I understand."
Then the camera took off the watch in his hand and handed it to her, "Now, take this watch and check the time when the time comes."
Yang Juyun shied away, "Oh, no, no, I'll just buy one when the time comes."
Xiang Jin stuffed it into her hand and said, "Take it, I'll just buy another one from the supply and marketing cooperative when I go to school in the afternoon. Anyway, this one is from a battery meter and it's not valuable."
Yang Juyun nodded, "Okay, I'll keep it then. Oh, by the way, I bought an electronic scale. You can help me adjust it later and teach me how to use it. I was pressed for time yesterday, so I also
I just bought it and left without even having time to ask the seller how to use it."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, after lunch, I will teach you how to use it." He followed Xiang Jin and went outside. As expected, he saw Xiang Lan standing outside the bamboo fence holding a ladle of corn kernels.
Feed those pheasants.
She walked over and took a look inside, and saw that the little girl was really taking good care of the dozen pheasants. How long had it been? In about two months, these dozen little pheasants were now being taken care of.
The birds she raises are extremely fat. Who said that the pheasants are just bare bones? Look, look, each one looks like a fat ball. It will definitely taste very meaty when slaughtered!
"Your feeding method is not good," Xiang Jin suddenly said.
The little girl turned her head and looked at her, "Why isn't it working?"
Xiang Jin said, "Your feeding method consumes too much food. Look at you. It takes a big scoop of food at a time. How many kilograms of food do you need to eat in a day? You have to mix some vegetable leaves, rice bran, and wheat bran."
Come and feed me, how can I eat all the food?"
The little girl said, "I know that too, but our family doesn't have rice bran and wheat bran. When we built the house, we received a lot of rice. It's estimated that we won't be able to finish it by the end of the New Year. How can we go out to thresh rice?"
, how can there be rice bran without rice? So we can only feed them grain."
Xiang Jin suddenly thought of a question, so he turned around and entered the kitchen again, "Mom, do we still have a lot of rice at home?"
"Ah, yes," Yang Juyun nodded.
Xiang Jin said, "Mom, why don't we sell some of that rice? It's not good if the rice is kept for a long time. Not only is it easy to get damp, mold and insects will grow, but the nutrients in it are also easy to be lost. Anyway, our rice is
There's quite a lot of it. Wouldn't it be better to just beat the new rice and eat it when the time comes?
I see that Xiang Lan is using all the grain to feed those pheasants, which is quite wasteful. You can sell the extra rice in our house, and then buy some rice bran and wheat bran in the market, and then mix it with some vegetables.
Just give the chickens some leaves and some grains to eat. How can you give them grains for every meal? They won't be able to survive that way."
Yang Juyun thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, then I will go to the street to sell some when I have time in these two days."
"Um!"
"Oh, by the way, Mom, how many of our little cubs have you planned to take out now?" Xiang Jin suddenly remembered something and asked her mother again.
Yang Juyun said, "Apart from your Aunt Liao and your two uncles who have reserved one for their family, others also greeted me, but I didn't dare to respond because I didn't know how many babies it would have in a litter.
Why do you ask?"
Xiang Jin said, "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that Yan Chen asked me to reserve one for their family, but you were right if you didn't agree."
"Your grandpa Zeng and his family also want to raise them? Didn't they greet us?" Yang Juyun was surprised.
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, Yan Chen said it would be better for his family to keep one. After all, they are in a rural area and some people have evil intentions."
Yang Juyun nodded, "That's true, but I think there will be five or six babies in Ahua's belly."
Xiang Jin was surprised, "Can you tell?" But she couldn't tell. She only knew that Ahua's belly looked much bigger this time.
Yang Juyun nodded, "It can be seen that her belly is very big now. It is estimated that she will give birth to cubs in about a month."
"So fast?" Xiang Jin was surprised again.
Yang Juyun said, "Dogs give birth to many litters. One litter lasts two to three months."
"I thought they were just like humans and had to be pregnant for ten months," Xiang Jin said.
Yang Juyun was a bit dumbfounded, "Then it will take such a long time, like a cat or dog, two or three months of pregnancy is enough."
"Oh," she finally gained some knowledge today.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Juyun took out the braised meat and eggs, cut them into slices separately, and then served them to several close friends in the bay, including Zeng Qing's family.
Zeng Qing and his family's share was sent to Xiang Jin. When it was delivered, Zeng Qing and his family were making corn flour buns. As soon as Zeng Qing and his grandparents saw Xiang Jin coming, they quickly invited Xiang Jin to come in and sit down.
, especially Zeng Qing, who kept pulling Xiang Jin and saying words of gratitude.
Xiang Jin looked at Zeng Qing, and then Zeng Qing pulled her aside and bit her ear, "I told my parents and they told me."
"What did you say?"
"I said that you moved to the dormitory, and the original bed in the dormitory became vacant, and then you asked me to live there. Then I said that the teachers at the rural primary school taught classes quickly and assigned a lot of homework every day.
I'm still a little uncomfortable with it. If I had been living at my aunt's house, I would have fallen behind a lot in my homework, so I wanted to live there.
Go in school, so that every night after self-study, I can still study for a while in the classroom with candles, so they are very happy." At this point, her expression became a little lonely again, "I didn't
Tell me what happened at my aunt's house, I don't want my parents to have any objections to my aunt."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"Yes," Zeng Qing nodded vigorously, and then Xiang Jin asked her how many things she brought today. If there were many, she could help her get some.
Zeng Qing said, "It's not much, just a box, a bed with bamboo strips, and a mat. I'll go with you to simply lay the bed today."
Then I still have to go back to my aunt's house in the evening. The sheets and quilts I brought when I transferred to the hometown of elementary school were placed directly at their house. I will bring them directly to them when I study in class tomorrow morning.
school, and then after school at noon, I went to the street to buy a mat, toiletries and lunch boxes.”
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, then I will get you a bamboo fence and a mat."
"Well, okay," Zeng Qing nodded happily, and then Xiang Jin said that she was going back. She had to clean up for a while when she got back, so she wouldn't stay any longer.
After Zeng Qing and his family heard about it, they hurriedly packed a bowl of corn buns for her. They brought some to others, and others gave them "gifts in return," which made Xiang Jin dumbfounded.
"Xiang Jin, what time will you leave?" Zeng Qing asked her when he sent her to the hospital.
Xiang Jin said, "Let's leave at five o'clock. You have to go to school to make your bed then. If you leave late, I'm afraid you won't have enough time by then."
Zeng Qing nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait for you at the fork in the road."
Xiang Jin thought that she had better go and say hello to Yan Chen, so on the way home, she went to Grandma Mo's house.
But when she arrived at their house, she only saw Yan Chen reading a book in the living room, so she asked, "Are you the only one at home?"
Yan Chen shook his head, "My grandpa and grandma are making dinner in the kitchen."
"Oh," Xiang Jin nodded.
Seeing the bowl of cornmeal buns in her hand, Yan Chen frowned slightly, "Where did you come from?"
"Oh, I just came out of Zeng Qing's house," she said, walking up to him with a bowl in her hand, "Would you like some cornmeal buns? This is what Zeng Qing and his grandma made for me."
Yan Chen shook his head, "No, you can keep it for yourself. I don't like cornmeal buns."
"Oh, then don't force it," Xiang Jin took his hand back.
Yan Chen asked, "Are you here for something?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, I came here to tell you that we should leave early today because I have to take Zeng Qing to make a bed in the dormitory."
"What time is it?"
"Let's go at five o'clock. Leave early. Don't be like last time and almost be late."
"Okay!" Yan Chen nodded slightly.
Xiang Jin pointed outside, "Then I'm back?!"
Yan Chen said, "Your mother is here too, talking to my grandpa and grandma in the kitchen."
"Oh, then I'll go take a look," she said and put the bowl into Yan Chen's hand.
Yan Chen was a little dumbfounded. He quickly put the bowl on the table and said, "I'll give it to you."
"Girl Jin is here too?" When the two of them entered the kitchen, Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng greeted her one after the other.
Xiang Jin nodded, and after calling "Grandma Mo" and "Grandpa Zeng" each, he asked jokingly, "Grandma Mo, Grandpa Zeng, what delicious food are you making?"
Grandma Mo opened the lid of the pot and smiled at her, "Come and see?"
Xiang Jin walked closer and looked into the pot, then said, "Wow, it smells so good?"
Grandma Mo invited her, "Then stay and eat at our place?!"
Seeing the expectant look on her face, Xiang Jin shook his head and said, "Thank you, Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng, but it won't work this time. Our family also cooked, and when my mother and I came out, Aunt Liao was
It’s almost done, next time, next time, next time I’ll come to your house to eat.”
Grandma Mo nodded and agreed readily, "Okay, I won't keep you here this time. I heard from your mother that your family also made a lot of delicious food. I made soup.
When the time comes, ask Yan Chen to bring more to school, and you can have some drinks with him after your evening self-study?"
Grandpa Zeng and her mother both looked at her with smiles, and Xiang Jin nodded and agreed happily, "Okay!"
Then her mother said, "Uncle, aunt, we are going back. This girl has to pack her things later."
"Oh, good!"
The two elders nodded in agreement, and then stopped what they were doing to send them out. Then Grandma Mo said politely, "Look, I've cost you money again."
Yang Juyun said no, and Xiang Jin said, "Grandma Mo, don't be polite to us. Let me tell you a secret. Our family plans to open a stewed vegetable restaurant in the town. Today's is my mother's practice, so we have to
Let you taste it."
Several people were surprised when they heard it, "Really?"
Xiang Jin and her daughter nodded, "Yeah, really!"
Then Yang Juyun said, "Xiang Jin felt that it was going to be winter soon. This kind of food could not be used for anything. Raising pigs, chickens and ducks was slow, and the money was not much, so she thought of an idea, called
I went to the town to open a stewed vegetable restaurant, and said that there is no such place in the town yet."
Grandpa Zeng nodded, "Well, that's right. Jin Yatou's idea is a good one. No one in town is selling it yet. Yours tastes very good, so the business will be very good by then."
Yang Juyun said, "But I'm not very proficient at what I do, so I have to practice a few more times. Then I will ask my uncle and aunt to help me taste it. I also ask my uncle and aunt to keep the secret for me first. After all,
It’s not open yet, so it’s better not to be too busy for the moment.”
The two old men nodded and promised, "Don't worry, we are not allowed to tell anyone about this."
The couple nodded, then walked out of the kitchen door, and then walked out of the courtyard together.
Yan Chen stopped her, "Wait a minute, did you forget that you still have a bowl that you haven't taken away?"
"Oh oh oh," Xiang Jin quickly turned around and rushed into the room. Yan Chen had already brought the bowl out to her.
Xiang Jin took the bowl and said to the two old men, "Grandma Mo, Grandpa Zeng, do you want a cornmeal bun each?"
Yang Juyun asked her, "Where are the steamed buns?"
Xiang Jin said, "Zeng Qing and his family installed it for me. When I went there, their family was also cooking."
The two old men smiled and waved it off, saying no, and told them to take it home and eat it themselves.
Zeng Qing and his family put a large bowl for her, at least ten of them. Xiang Jin walked up to them with the bowl and said, "It's okay, just take one and eat it. It's still hot. Our family can't eat it."
so much."
The two of them thought that there were still many people in the sky and they didn't have a refrigerator at home, so they were not polite and reached out to take one. Grandpa Zeng took a bite immediately and said, "Well, there's also sugar in it.
"He then stuffed it into Grandma Mo's hand, "You help me eat it."
Grandma Mo stared at him pretending to be displeased, "You old man," she then explained to Xiang Jin and his daughter, "Like Chen Chen, he has never liked eating too sweet food.
.”
Xiang Jin nodded, "I understand, it seems that many men don't like eating sweet things."
Grandma Mo smiled and said, "Yes!"
After returning home, Xiang Jin first wrote an advertisement and asked his mother to take it to the street to find someone to make a plaque indicating that their family was in the braised vegetable business.
Then she determined the price level of each stewed vegetable based on the current market price level, and then asked her mother to go to town to buy a pushable glass cabinet. Finally, she gave her mother a reassurance, "I'll check it out."
Check the calendar, the Sunday of my next vacation happens to be the day of Fuyun Town, and then I will go to the bank to transfer the money to you."
Yang Juyun nodded, "Okay, then I will go to town and rent that store for the next show."
"Yes! But you must choose a place with densely populated areas. It is best to have a port that is connected in all directions. Only then will our business be booming."
"Okay, I understand!"
At about 5:40 in the afternoon, several people arrived at the school. Xiang Jin handed her backpack and thermal bucket directly to Yan Chen and asked him to help her take it back to the dormitory, while she led Zeng Qing directly there.
Got into the girls dormitory.
At this time, almost everyone in the girls' dormitory was already here, some were sorting things, and some were steaming rice. Her arrival surprised everyone, and Luo Qiuyan asked, "Hey, Xiang Jin, what are you doing?"
Coming?"
Xiang Jin pushed Zeng Qing in front of everyone and said, "Let me introduce you to her. Her name is Zeng Qing. She is my childhood friend. She is now in the sixth grade in the elementary school. That's right. From today on, I have no time before.
Let her stay in the bed that comes out."
He Guizhi immediately became nervous, "No, Xiang Jin, you want me to move?"
Xiang Jin said, "I didn't ask you to move down from above. I told Zeng Qing to live in the vacant bed."
He Guizhi stroked her chest and said, "Oh oh oh, I thought you wanted me to move from the top bunk."
Xiang Jin said, "You're overthinking it," and then she pointed to an empty bed next to her and said, "You can sleep on this bed."
Zeng Qing nodded and asked Xiang Jin, "What kind of things are on the bed? Can you please clean them up?"
Then two people hurriedly took down some things on the bed, but there was only one box left untouched, so Xiang Jin spoke again, "Which box is it? Please take it."
, the bed needs to be made here.”
She asked around but no one answered, and then some people glanced at Zhang Xiaoxia, and some pointed at her. Xiang Jin immediately understood that the box turned out to be hers, so she walked over and took out the box.
The box was lifted from above and put aside. Then he opened the bamboo strips that Zeng Qing was holding and threw it on the bed.
Just as she was about to put the mat on the bed, Zhang Xiaoxia suddenly threw her suitcase on the bed again, and then stared at her angrily.
Xiang Jin's brows suddenly knitted together, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Xiaoxia asked, "What do you mean? My box is fine on top, why do you want to take it down from there for me?"
Xiang Jin suddenly laughed, "What you said is really funny. Why do you think I can't take down that box of yours? This is my bed, are you mistaken? You are occupying the magpie's nest, you still have a reason
Already?"
Zhang Xiaoxia glared at her fiercely and said, "Your bed? Which one is your bed? You have already moved away, how can there be your bed here?"
Xiang Jin's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm, and he looked at her coldly, "You're trying to play tricks on me, right?"
Zhang Xiaoxia remained silent.
Xiang Jin's face suddenly turned cold, "I paid for it, so if it's not my bed, it's still your bed? Let me tell you, even if I move away, this is still my place!"
Who dares to occupy my bed without my consent?! If she does, I will knock her off!
I’ll give you three seconds to move your box off my bed, or I’ll throw it off for you!”
"How dare you!" Zhang Xiaoxia stared at her angrily.
"Do you think I dare?!" Xiang Jin glared at her coldly, "You are still justified in occupying my place? Who gave you the confidence? Three, two..."
Before she could shout out "one", Zhang Xiaoxia hurriedly lifted her boxes off the top with dissatisfaction, and at the same time gave Xiang Jin a hard look.
Xiang Jin glanced at her coolly and then turned to Zeng Qing and said, "Don't worry about living here in the future. They are all easy to get along with. If someone doesn't have eyes and deliberately causes trouble for you, you
There’s no need to be polite to her, just use the same domineering attitude you had in the bay to deal with her severely, some people are just used to it!”
"Yeah," Zeng Qing nodded, but he was really thinking in his heart, how can I have that domineering power? Aren't you the one who is domineering?
Xiang Jin spread the mat for her, then greeted the girls in the dormitory and was about to leave, but Zeng Qing stopped her, "Xiang Jin, I can't officially be here until tomorrow."
Stay here and I'll put my backpack at your place first."
"Okay!" Xiang Jin nodded, and then the two of them left the girls' dormitory together.
On the way to the teachers' dormitory, Zeng Qing asked her, "Is that the girl who had a conflict with you before?"
"Yeah," Xiang Jin nodded, "And she's also the girl who often lights candles until very late."
Zeng Qing said, "So it's her? No wonder she's so annoying!"
Xiang Jin's lips curled up into a smile, "That girl is really unpleasant. I don't like talking about people behind their backs. If you stay there for a long time, you will know what kind of person she is.
The Luo Qiuyan in the dormitory has a nice personality and is very enthusiastic. You should get along with her, and there are several other girls as well. Although they don't talk much, they are not thoughtful.
Despite this, you still have to be vigilant at ordinary times. The so-called intention of harming others and the intention of guarding against others are essential, especially in terms of frame-up and frame-up. Therefore, you usually have to keep your backpack, valuables, etc.
Put it in a box and lock it, don't leave it outside."
"Well, good!"
"You didn't make rice today. Come over tomorrow morning after morning study, and I'll take you to the cafeteria to eat." Then Xiang Jin thought of another thing.
"Ah? How embarrassing is this?" Zeng Qing hesitated.
"Are you still polite to me?" Xiang Jin turned to look at her.
Zeng Qing was a little embarrassed and said, "Okay, I'll give you a meal then."
