Chapter 76 Liujiawan's foreign debt, Zhou Sinian playing tricks on people

Mingdai crooked her eyes and replied with a smile: "Yes, put it in a basket full of soil, as long as the temperature and humidity are controlled well, it can be grown. I will try it first, and if it works, I will teach you."

Auntie Huang was amazed: "This is the first time I have heard of it. It would be great if it can be grown. We don't have to eat cabbage in winter."

After that, she called Mingdai and herself to go to the cellar to take a look.

Mingdai glanced at Zhou Sinian beside the stable. It seemed that he and Liu Laifa were having a good time, so she followed him with confidence.

Liu Laifa trembled as he chopped hay with shaking hands. He didn't dare to stop, and screamed in his heart: Mom! Save me!

Unfortunately, Auntie Huang was so excited to show Mingdai around her cellar that she didn't notice her son's eyes were about to go crazy.

Zhou Sinian was so excited to put the hay Liu Laifa had bundled into the stable. He bundled a handful, he put a handful, they worked in perfect harmony.

The horse was also stared at by him while eating grass. As soon as it stopped chewing, Zhou Sinian would stare at it, scaring it so much that its teeth would clack and rub non-stop.

Zhou Sinian looked at the diligent man and horse and smiled with satisfaction.

After going down to the cellar, Auntie Huang lit the oil lamp, and Mingdai opened her mouth wide at the vegetables in the cellar.

Auntie Huang proudly pointed at the vegetables that looked like a small mountain: "Miss Xiaoming, take a look and see if there is anything you like to eat. Auntie will prepare it for you to take with you."

Ming Dai gave Auntie Huang a thumbs up: "You really know how to live. When can you finish eating so many vegetables!"

Auntie Huang was praised and smiled: "These will be eaten until the beginning of spring. We can only eat fresh vegetables in the beginning of spring. We have to rely on these vegetables to survive for the whole winter and the first spring. Don't think that there are a lot now. We have a large family, and we have to send some to our mother's family in the mountains. They have little land, and there is not enough food to eat, let alone vegetables, so a little bit here and a little bit there will be gone.

I am not bragging. Other families don't have as many vegetables as my family. In order to plant these, I dug up the land in the backyard and planted them.

Fortunately, we don't have chickens at home, otherwise, we can't keep them and they would have pecked to death long ago. "

Ming Dai was about to ask this: "Auntie, I've always wanted to ask, why don't we have pigs here? We do have chickens, but it seems that there are not many, and you don't have any at home either."

Auntie Huang was picking up the roots of leeks for her, and she sighed: "If you had come here a few years earlier, you would have seen that we used to raise chickens and pigs. Chickens can be raised as long as the family has no more than five. Pigs are spacious here, and there are many people in the family, so there are only a few capable ones. A family can raise two or three pigs, and sell one before the New Year.

At that time, our village also had a pig farm, raising 23 pigs of various sizes, and I was responsible for cooking pig food.

Unfortunately, the commune later had swine fever, and even the pigs in the surrounding villages were infected. "

Speaking of this, Aunt Huang choked up for a moment: "Two pigs died at the beginning, and they had diarrhea and couldn't stop. The county veterinary station was so busy that they couldn't call anyone. Your uncle and I took the pigs to the county in a horse-drawn carriage for treatment. Another pig died on the way. When we arrived at the county veterinary station, we found out that several nearby veterinary clinics had died. All the pigs in the commune were infected with swine fever, which was incurable.
