Chapter 158 [158] Insects and Ducks (3000)

Chapter 158 [158] Hatching insects and feeding ducks (3000)

Zhuo Lin is well aware of the principle that people are good and are bullied. In this life, she is so lucky that she has not fallen into a family that prefers boys over girls. Her father and uncle are so capable, and her brothers treat her well. The eldest uncle and her grandmother get along harmoniously. In such a family, she has enough confidence to support the glory of the family, so she must not be kind. Whoever really needs help, and whoever has money will not take it out, and even picks up the saxalus to take advantage of it. The Zhuo family is clear.

Those who say their family is not good are often jealous or want to take advantage of it.

Some families have poor conditions, few labor and can’t afford to eat tofu. The Zhuo family will also send it for free, so it doesn’t cost money.

They don’t need them to tell the public how good they are. After all, it’s not good for them to say it out loud. It’s enough that the family knows how to be grateful.

In mid-March 1961, the earth warmed up and spring plowing began. Ah Niang and the others went to sell tofu in the morning, and then they took the cow to plow the wasteland on the river beach.

Zhuo Lin did nothing at home, so she secretly urged fresh grass to give her teeth to Niu Niu. Tao Yi and follower Zhuo saw that she was selling tofu. Even if she hid and was lazy, the two of them would not talk about her.

Seeing that he had been pestering him before, Zhuo had discovered that following Tao Yi was more interesting than following him, he abandoned her sister and decisively joined Tao Yi's disciple.

She doesn't care. As long as the child is held and kept warm in winter, he can just follow anyone else.

When my grandmother and aunt returned home in the evening, her face looked a little bad. It turned out that this afternoon, a daughter-in-law from a family in the south of the village gave birth to a daughter, and her mother-in-law took her to the river beach and threw her away. Later, the child's grandmother came over and took her back to her parents' home.

Although it was just a simple sentence, it was not the first time Zhuo Lin felt the terribleness of favoring boys over girls in this era.

"It's really a drought that makes you die of drought. Why is your daughter bad? She is also a woman, why don't you look down on her daughter?"

"I'm not doing well as a mother. I've been like this. What else have I lived with him?"

The eldest uncle said that, but he knew that this was the current situation of his wife. If he didn't give birth to a boy, he wouldn't be straight.

Whoever has several daughters in a row can be drowned by the spits in the village?

"Zheng Wang's grandmother soaked her four granddaughters with her own hands. One of them was buried in a pigpen and was robbed out and eaten by the pig...,"

Just after hearing the beginning, Zhuo Lin felt cold in her body. This was the 1960s and the era when she could have more children. In the 1980s and 1990s, were there more innocent girls who were strangled to their lives?

It is said that life is fragile, but it is indeed fragile, because within two days, something happened in the village. She had heard of this in later generations, but she did not expect it to happen so truly before her.

On March, I bathed the child, put water in the iron basin and heated it on a low heat. The child just put it in the basin and washed it. Someone outside the door called the wife. After hearing this, she ran out and chatted and forgot the time. When she got home, the child was dead and burned to death.

Even if it’s a small fire, it’s an iron basin!

The ignorant thing, the child was only over one year old, and he didn't know how long he had been howling before he died, but he was forgotten by this bastard mother.

Meeting an irresponsible mother will be a tragedy for the child's life.

This is dead, what if it is disabled?

——

This year, there are cows in spring farming, and the family and outside are much less expensive. Tao Yi sold the tofu almost all, so he would go to the river beach to help. He was very eye-catching. Zhuo Lin took Zhuo Jian to cook and sell tofu at home. Although she was young, she could use scale rods and settle accounts. She was a little polite. She came to their house to buy tofu, so she didn't say she didn't praise her.

And she is also amazing. She can feel ashamed of her when she sees something she doesn't like on the spot. No matter if you are an elder or someone? You're not polite at all, and you won't suffer any loss.

So she has already relied on her reputation at such a young age, because she is too powerful and difficult to control. She said that she is old at the age of three. This little girl is not suitable for being a daughter-in-law in the future. If her son can't deal with her, she will be angry to death.

Zhuo Lin sneered after hearing this, don’t worry, your son, sister looks down on you.

——

Because of cattle, the wasteland on the river beach is planted much faster than in previous years, and it is still the same varieties as last year, such as sweet potatoes, soybeans, potatoes, cotton, etc.

In addition to the river beach, small pieces of vegetables in the vegetable fields were also planted before Qingming Festival. If breeding needs to be bred, plastic cloth should be covered with plastic cloth.

Usually she would lead Zhuojian out to dig wild vegetables in the afternoon. Although the wild vegetables this year are not as digging digging as last year, this year's wild vegetables are very big because of sufficient rain. If they are not big enough, they will give birth to large ones. They will take them home to feed chickens, pigs and cows. They are all very good side dishes.

There is no shortage of cattle. After the tofu business grew, there was more bean dregs. The livestock at home could eat enough without wasting any waste.

When the summer harvest was in June, my uncle rushed home in time again. Together with my father and the boys at home, they harvested wheat, planted rice, handed over public grain, and stayed at home for nearly a month before leaving hurriedly again.

Every time my uncle leaves, my uncle will be lonely for a long time. She is eager to have a daughter, but she doesn’t know if there will be good news this year.

After the rice planting this year, they did not put fish fry, but many families in the village bought fish fry, while their families bought twenty ducks, four acres of land, and all female ducks. They can pickle salted duck eggs in the future. Although feeding fish is also easy, since so many families raise fish, it will be very convenient for them to buy some fish. After thinking about it, they listened to Tao Yi's words and fed the ducks.

Ducks can also eat insects in the rice fields, and the shit they pull out can also strengthen the ground. However, in the early stage, the ducklings have to be raised at home for a month. After familiarizing themselves with the environment and people at home, they will wait until the seedlings in the rice fields grow and it will not be too late to release them.

If you feed more livestock at home, there will be more flies in summer. If there are more flies, there will be more maggots. This is a good fertilizer for feeding chickens and ducks.

Tao Yi used rotten and spoiled bean dregs to attract many flies into the cage to lay eggs, and then covered them with gauze. The window screen was not found or asked, probably not yet. The gauze was woven by the old lady from the same village, and it was not so tight and tight.

In a few days, I saw dense maggots arching around the rotten bean dregs. I looked a little disgusting and had goose bumps all over the floor.

"I've eaten this thing, and the chicken really won't have diarrhea?"

Zhuo Lin turned her face away with disgust. Even though she had heard of this method, she still couldn't help but feel sick. On the contrary, Tao Yi became much calmer.

"This is high-quality protein, don't worry, it's very clean. I haven't seen that we have isolated it? These bean dregs that are arched by maggots can actually be strong. If they look back and sprinkle them in the rice fields, the ducks will like them very much."

Zhuo Lin couldn't help asking him: "You know too much, right? It seems that there is nothing you don't know." So, what exactly did you do in your previous life?

"As I read too many books, I will naturally know them, so Linlin will have to study hard in the future."

In addition to feeding maggots, the brothers who have been on summer vacation will touch cicada monkeys every night, and take them home when they encounter cicada shells. They will soak the thing in salt water at night. They will either stir-fry or roast them the next day, or taste in memory, and even seem to be more plump.

There are many cicadas and many flies, how can there be fewer mosquitoes?

There is no air conditioner, many trees and plants in the era. Although it is not that stuffy, it is still too hot at night. Moreover, it is all adobe houses, and even bungalows are not built, so it is naturally impossible to sleep on the roof. No one can buy mosquito nets, so I don’t sleep at night, so I use them to fan and slap mosquitoes for her and Zhuojian.

My brothers are so tiring, they are tired of playing during the day, and they can sleep as soon as they touch the bed at night. Her and Zhuo Jian's skin is delicate and they are easily bitten to wake up.

Especially Zhuo Jian, he ate white and fat, his arms were like lotus roots, one by one, and his mother found the mosquito that was trapped to death in the gap of his joints. I'll go, there's no one else in this operation.

But my father was even more amazing. It would be fine if he snored all over the sky, but he could kill mosquitoes. When he woke up in the morning, he had blood and black spots on his back. She crawled over and saw that it was a mosquito that had been crushed.

Men seem to be far less sensitive to mosquitoes than women. My mother can't sleep as soon as she hears mosquitoes screaming, and so does Zhuo Lin.

But the only benefit is that in this era, cars have little exhaust emissions and good air, the global temperature has not warmed up, and the hottest summer is not more than 40 degrees. The first half of the night may be so hot that it can't sleep in the middle of the night, and sleeping in the next day can also make up for your sleep.

Because there are many livestock at home and more flies, it becomes a big problem. As long as my father is at home, he is begged by Tao Yi to make some cages to attract flies and lure them into it. He is also making less tofu because of the heat and the number of mosquitoes and flies. He even adopts an appointment system. If someone wants tofu the next day, he will say it in advance and record it. The next day, people from the same village come to pick it up, and those from other villages will send it to him.

In this way, there is almost nothing left and can be sold out before noon, which is clean and easy to deal with.

Zhuo Lin is afraid of mosquitoes. In the evening, she didn't dare to wear half-sleeves or short-sleeves. Even in the summer, she wore long-sleeved trousers. Moreover, the mosquitoes in the countryside are super big, as long as fingernails. Every time she bites, she is red, and she suffers.

Last year, she was so busy that she had no time to take care of this. This year, Tao Yi took away everything. Once she was free, wouldn’t she be attracted to catch mosquitoes?

The ducks came to their house for a month and were fed by her and Tao Yi. Now they have faded their cute ducks. Their wings are hard and their white wings are white. They will rush to the rice fields after breakfast in the morning and come back in the evening. The cart at home can be used as a baffle to make a transport.
