Chapter 628 Xiaosi’s mentality is about to collapse
Looking at Xiaosi's distressed look, he then looked at the squashed ducklings and the sealed windows of Baiyunxi. Because there were so few ducklings, they didn't put them in the duck shed at all. They kept them all in the main room.
For this purpose, several large frames were specially prepared, a charcoal basin was placed in the house for heating, and quilts were put on to keep warm at night. Even so, the newly born ducklings were still crowded.
In addition to being afraid of the cold, it is also a habit.
Unless people stay awake and keep staring at them, this kind of stampede is inevitable.
"The weather has been changing in the past few days, sometimes cold and sometimes hot. Especially at night, the temperature drops sharply, and the ducklings are crowded together. Those at the bottom will fall flat if you don't pay attention."
"Don't be sad. When you first start breeding, everything goes through a process. Just get used to it."
Baiyunxi's comfort did not improve Xiaosi's mood. He lowered his head and stared at the dead ducklings. After a while, he raised his head.
"Mom, I got up five or six times a night, but I still can't avoid it. I decided not to sleep tonight and kept staring at them. I don't believe it, will I get squashed?"
Baiyunxi: "..."
Let’s not talk about whether the duck is flat or not. After a few days, the flat person will be Xiaosi.
"Don't be too nervous, and don't work so hard. It's normal for ducklings to suffer losses at the beginning. Experience is accumulated through practice. It will get better gradually. If you are really worried, just take turns with Shuren.
In a few days, when he gets a little older, he'll be fine."
During the spring plowing time, Shuren has been busy in the fields with the second brother and his wife, so it is okay to transfer people over for a few days.
"Yeah, why did I forget about Shuren? If we take turns watching, it will be fine." After listening to my mother's suggestion, Xiaosi's eyes lit up after rubbing it.
"Okay, let's eat first. When we get back, I'll tell Shuren to come over and help you for a few days. When the duckling grows up, there won't be any stampede accidents."
In fact, Xiao Si had already been very careful. Of the 500 ducklings, the loss of about 30 ducklings was already settled.
In almost a month, the ducklings will grow up. After that, as long as they are carefully fed and guarded against weasels stealing their cubs, there will be almost no problems.
After finding a solution to the problem, Xiaosi immediately became energetic again. He opened the bamboo basket, looked at the chicken legs placed on the rice, picked it up and took a bite.
"Mom, one chicken only has two legs. Don't let me eat it every time. Save it for Yaya, or I and my second brother and sister-in-law can take turns eating it."
Now that the food at home is so good, chicken drumsticks are no longer attractive to him.
"The other leg is left for Yaya. Our food is not bad and no one will compete with you for this. Your sister-in-law put the chicken leg in there. She also left it for you after seeing how hard you have been working recently."
Bai Yunxi saw him immersed in cooking and chuckled.
Since the beginning of spring, spring plowing, studying, and raising ducks have all been very hard. She had long told Mrs. Du not to be picky when it comes to eating, and she must keep up with her nutrition.
Old hen soup and big bone soup are served in turn. When the chickens raised at home are finished, I go to the village to buy them. If not, I go to the town market.
Although everyone worked very hard, everyone's face was flushed. Even Uncle Guangchuan, who was watching the gate, drank a bowl of bone soup every time.
After Xiao Si finished eating, Bai Yunxi went home with a basket, and happened to see Xu Shuren sorting out firewood.
"Shuren, you pack up and go to the duck factory to help Xiao Si take care of the duck seedlings. You don't have to do the work in the fields for now."
After listening to Bai Yunxi's instructions, Xu Shuren was stunned for a moment, and then scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Aunt Bai, I can only do some menial work, but I'm afraid I can't raise ducklings."
You can ask him to do anything, but I'm afraid he won't be able to do the fine work.
Seeing Xu Shuren's embarrassed look, Bai Yunxi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know. Just follow Primary 4 and do whatever he asks you to do. In fact, it's not difficult at all."
Since the two Xu brothers stayed, in order to avoid gossip in the village, Bai Yunxi asked them to call her Aunt Bai like Wenyou, so as to avoid making the villagers jealous and say unpleasant things behind her back, which would only cause more trouble.
"Okay, I'll go take care of it right away." Although Xu Shuren agreed, he still felt unsure.
After Xu Shuren left, Baiyunxi told the second child,
"When it's time to plant the rice seedlings, you can ask a few more day laborers to come over and help. When you go back to Xiaofangzhuang, ask their clan leader. If anyone is willing to be a long-term laborer, hire two or three. If you have long-term laborers, you won't need to hire short-term laborers in the future.
"
Listening to his mother's suggestion, Bai Anyan subconsciously calculated the salary, "Mom, long-term workers not only take care of food and housing, but also pay four guan for a year's wages. Isn't it too expensive?"
Part-time workers only work for a while during busy farming hours and then leave. They can be hired twice a year. Compared with long-term workers, they can save some money.
Hearing the second child's resistance, Bai Yunxi twitched the corner of his mouth, this guy has the potential to be a cheater.
"In the future, if you are busy at home, you will always have to hire long-term workers. Although the long-term workers will take care of food, housing and wages, almost all the work in the fields will be taken care of. The time you save can also be used to do other things. Short-term workers will relatively save some money, but
You have to look for it every time. The busy farming season is the time to rush to plant and harvest. If something goes wrong, the harvest of the whole season will be delayed."
"You, look at things in the long term, don't just focus on the present. In the future, the family's fields will become more and more, and there will always be endless work. Since you want to take care of the fields at home, you can't just work hard, you have to learn how to use people.
.”
She can understand the second child's thoughts. He is used to living in poverty and is very frugal. Even if he is tired, he is reluctant to waste money.
Bai Anyan's face turned red after listening to my mother's reminder, "Mom, I understand. I will go to Xiaofangzhuang tomorrow and tell the royal family leader about hiring laborers and ask him to help pay attention to it.
"Well, just think about it. You have to adapt to everything. Instead of making yourself busy, plan ahead to be prepared."
Just as the two were talking, they saw Li rushing to the yard like a wind, holding on to the garden and vomiting, which shocked the two of them.
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Bai Anyan ran over, looked at him with a worried look, and patted her on the back.
"Vomit~, it's okay, maybe I ate too much, vomited..."
Mrs. Li held on to the wall and vomited till she fainted.
Bai Yunxi looked at Ms. Li's posture, her brows moved, and her eyes fell on her stomach. When she stopped vomiting, Bai Yunxi asked her second brother to help her into the house.
"Hurry up and ask Doctor Yang to come over and take a look."
"Hey~, let's go right now." Bai Anyan agreed and ran out with a pale face.
Mrs. Du came over with a bowl of hot water and said, "Second brothers and sisters, drink some water and sip your mouth. Are you eating or catching a cold? They say that spring covers the cold and autumn freezes. You need to be more careful."
