Tang Xiaoyun and others pulled carts or carried loads and pulled all the more than 700 chicks back to the tea garden.

The chicken coop on the side of the tea garden has been built long ago.

Rows of chicken coops with a height of more than one meter are covered with a layer of plant ash. The plant ash is put in in the evening, and there are still sparks when it is put in, which can have the effect of killing bacteria and insects.

After the plant ash has no temperature, a layer of soft straw is laid on it, and it is very dry.

With flashlights on, everyone picked up the chick and put it inside.

The yellow fluffy little guys were very scared when they hit the ground, chirping and chirping.

Everyone was overjoyed seeing so many chicks.

"Director Tao is still capable. With so many chickens, if all the chickens are raised well, we can have a good year at the end of the year."

"That's not true." Another woman said: "Didn't you see that there are so many ducks and pigs? It's a pity, if we can raise two pigs here, we can raise them."

While everyone was talking, they carefully put the chick inside, and then carefully closed the door.

After more than 700 chickens were put into the chicken coop one by one, Tang Xiaoyun and others rubbed their sore waists.

Because the chicks are still young, only one-third of the chicken coop is used, and the rest will be put in after they grow up.

Tang Xiaoyun got up with a flashlight: "Go to bed first, I will guard tonight."

Before the chicks came, Tang Xiaoyun made a shift schedule, mainly to prevent some animals from stealing the chicks.

Everyone takes turns, and the goal is that not a single chick dies.

Several people had no objections, and after telling her to pay attention to safety, they went back to the house one after another.

A thatched adobe house was also built next to the chicken coop, mainly for people on duty to sleep.

Tang Xiaoyun turned on the flashlight again, and checked through the purposely reserved window, and found that the chicks were all huddled together in a corner, and those who were weak were trampled under.

After Tang Xiaoyun found out, he caught these chicks and put them in a basket.

After a row of inspections, more than 20 such chicks were found.

She closed the window and pressed another brick, and then moved the more than 20 chicks back to the small thatched hut on duty.

She was about to close the door when she saw her sister walking over.

"What are you doing here?" Tang Xiaoyun asked.

"I'll accompany you." Tang Xiaojun said, "I'll sleep with you."

"Okay, quickly cover it, don't let it freeze."

In the mountains, it is still necessary to cover the quilt at night in March.

Tang Xiaojun got under the quilt, patted the bed and hurriedly let his sister come up.

Tang Xiaoyun cut some vegetable leaves with scissors, mixed them with the bran, and put some in. It was the supper for these little chicks.

She turned on the flashlight, and after a few chicks chirped a few times, two bold ones came over and pecked a few times.

The others all shrank there.

Tang Xiaoyun didn't care anymore, covered the sack, then took off his jacket and put it on the sack, and then got in.

That night Tang Xiaoyun didn't sleep soundly at all, apart from the little chicks in the house screaming from time to time, she had to get up and go outside when she heard any movement.

I didn't go to lift those chicken coops anymore, it would shock those little guys.

The next day everyone got up early.

It was still a bit cold, and everyone didn't immediately get the chicks out, but went to prepare chicken food.

In March, there is a kind of grass everywhere in the field. The local name is chicken grass. It is fluffy. Usually, these grasses are pulled out and brought back to the chickens to eat.

These chicks are too small to be able to peck, so everyone plucked the fluff off the top for the chicks to eat.

Tang Xiaojun doesn't have a "organization", so he just hangs out with his sister, but she also works, and she will help cook together in the morning, and she is also responsible for watering the vegetables in the private plot.

Speaking of private plots, these people have reclaimed a lot since the beginning of spring.

If they want to stay here for a long time, the food must be enough.

If you don’t do heavy work, no one is willing to eat rice. They eat porridge for breakfast, and only eat dry, steamed rice at noon. It’s up to you how much you put in your lunch box.

The two meals in the morning and evening are also put together by everyone. In a collective life, it is impossible for everyone to prepare a stove for you.

So those whose homes are close, basically go home to eat. At present, including the old stubborn head and Tang Xiaoyun, there are twelve people in total.

But only the old stubborn head, the two sisters Tang Xiaoyun and five people from the six and seven brigades lived there.

The other four are from the No. [-] and No. [-] Brigade, and they all go home to eat. They don't live at home when they are on duty overnight, but they live here in the tea garden when it is their turn.

In the morning, I ate sweet potato porridge. The sweet potatoes were also brought from home by the big guys. The food for the two meals in the morning and evening was shared equally. At noon, I used lunch boxes and steamed their own.

Tang Xiaoyun put a piece of sweet potato in everyone's bowl, and then scooped two large ladles of porridge, a big pot of porridge, which happened to be divided.

Tang Xiaojun said: "Sister, some sweet potatoes are about to germinate, so I can't eat them."

"Then cut off the sprouted ones and eat them quickly these days."

The two of them, together with the old stubborn head, also opened a piece of land for five or six cents to prepare for planting sweet potatoes.

Tang Xiaojun nodded.

After breakfast, it was still early, so Tang Xiaoyun organized everyone to go to the tea garden to see if there were any animals that went down the mountain at night and broke the tea trees or something, and also to check if there were any pests or diseases.

The tea leaves are about to be picked, and this time cannot be sloppy.

It was only after nine o'clock when everyone came back from the tea garden soaked in dew.

The sun rose, and the temperature also rose, and then everyone grabbed the chickens out of the chicken coop, put them back in the chicken cover that had been made in advance, and then fed them with rice bran and vegetables.

Chicken grass can only be used as a "snack", and rice bran and vegetables are still the staple food.

A group of chicks felt the warmth of the sun, and they chirped and moved around in the rooster cover. Some flapped their little wings with few feathers, and some came to be a golden rooster and scratched themselves with their paws.

On the whole, they were still lively, and Tang Xiaoyun was relieved a lot.

The more than 20 chickens caught by Tang Xiaoyun last night were kept together by her in a chicken cover.

Everyone was overjoyed seeing so many furry cuties.

In the provincial capital, Xiang Nuan received more than 30 packs of feed from the feed factory at the long-distance bus station, but the passenger station saw so many and was unwilling to take it.

More than 3000 kilograms is too much, and the bus cannot carry it.

Xiang Nuan had no choice but to let Feng Chun watch and find a place to call the county transportation company to ask if there was a ride.

Soon, they were asked over there that there was a truck returning from the provincial capital at nine o'clock, and they could take them for a ride.

Xiang Nuan hurriedly thanked him and told the other party to wait at the coach station.

After nine o'clock, an old-fashioned truck stopped, and Xiang Nuan and Feng Chun moved the feed to the truck.

As a result, the car can only hold more than 2000 kilograms at most, and there is really no room for five bags.

Xiang Nuan had no choice but to let Feng Chun go with the truck first, and she took the remaining five bags and went to work as a passenger car.
