Chapter 380 The Man on the Grassland is Mighty and Powerful 9

Uncle Huhe thought that he should have set it up earlier to protect the two girls and make sure nothing happened.

"Today I want to come up with a weekly schedule. Starting tomorrow, you will follow what is written on it. After the season is over, I will give you another weekly schedule."

"We don't have so many rules and regulations on our grassland. Just do what I say. We don't keep track of work points. When you've planted the crops, we'll decide based on the hours you work."

"Just because I don't keep score doesn't mean you can be lazy or slack off. Huhe will watch you work first, and I'll arrange for others to take turns supervising you after a while."

"Those who don't perform well will have their food distribution cut in half. The harvest here on our grassland is smaller than in other areas, so you all have to think carefully. If you don't have enough to eat, don't blame me for mistreating you."

Uncle Huhe set the rules first, and the educated youth did not dare to act rashly after hearing what the backbone of the grassland said.

They all said they would follow the patriarch's arrangements.

After talking about work, Mayila asked about food.

Speaking of this, Uncle Huhe remembered something and took out a few tickets from the low cabinet, and handed them out one by one calling out their names.

"I saw that you had just arrived last night and was afraid that if I gave it to you directly, you might lose it, so I gave it to you today. This is the subsidy the state has set for you to go to the countryside. Each person is ten yuan a month. You can take the slip and go to the city to collect the money every month."

"As for grain, you didn't do much work in your first year here, so you won't get any according to the regular distribution method. But there isn't much else on the grassland, and we have the most meat. I can lend you ten kilograms of meat, and you can eat it or exchange it for grain in the city. I'll make the deduction when we distribute the meat next year. Do you agree?"

Give meat? This is the first time I've heard of this.

Everyone present was stunned by this, but having some meat to borrow was not bad. Besides, the country also gave them ten yuan every month, and with this money they could buy a lot of food in the city.

If you live frugally, you might be able to save some money.

No one present objected and everyone thanked the patriarch.

"Are you guys still sitting here doing nothing? If you have nothing to do, follow Huhe out to feed the horses."

Everyone shook their heads.

"Then Huhe, you can take them to work. When it's almost noon, you can arrange for someone from the educated youth to go back and cook. It's okay to leave twenty minutes earlier."

"Okay, thank you, Chief."

"Thank you, patriarch."

……

Huhedawa brought the educated youth to the stable. As soon as he arrived, his horse took the initiative to raise its front legs and greet him.

He reached out and touched the horse's head, and the horse immediately calmed down.

"There is a science to feeding horses. Horses mainly eat grass, which includes hay, grass, silage, etc. In addition to these, horses also eat some grains, beans, fruits and other foods as supplements. Generally, we feed them twice a day, at noon and in the evening. During the day and in the morning, we let the horses roam free and let them eat grass on their own."

"Come back on time. The horses haven't been released yet today, so I'll teach you something else first. Every time we release the horses, we always leave someone to clean the stables and feed barrels. If these places are not cleaned for a long time, it is most likely to cause bacteria to breed. We also clean the horses' bodies and conduct oral examinations every two weeks."

"Going to the countryside on the grassland is a little different from other places. We have more meat than vegetables here, and the land is poor and can't grow much food. But raising these animals is enough for you to do."

Here, Huhedawa was introducing everything about horse breeding in his not-so-fluent Mandarin. The educated youth from the border areas were themselves members of a minority ethnic group and their Chinese proficiency was about the same as that of the people here.

Nowadays, many teachers are accustomed to explaining using the local teaching methods of their own area, which leads to the situation where educated youth from some places speak with dialect accents after going to the countryside.

Chengcheng helped Huhedawa to explain. She was the only one who could speak fluent Mandarin here.

She is the only one who can save the situation.

With her truthful explanation, the educated youth understood a lot.

At this juncture, Toya appeared.

The first thing he did was walk up to Huhedawa and talk to him.

"Huhe, you didn't even see my beloved horse give birth to a foal last night. I tell you, you are now a grandfather, you know?"

"I'm a grandmother now. Do you want to see the pony? If you want to see one, I'll bring it to you."

After hearing what Toya said, Cheng Cheng realized that these two people had a lot in common, as they were both Ma's grandparents.

What Chaolu said yesterday was true: her horse gave birth to a foal.

It’s just that Toya chose to say this to Huhe when all the educated youth were present, clearly intending to take the opportunity to assert her sovereignty.

Chengcheng is just a spectator and she wants to see how Huhe will respond.

"Toya, I am now teaching the educated youth to raise horses. You can put yourself in the queue and I will take a look at you when I have time." Huhedawa's eyes revealed obvious impatience.

Toya did not give up and tried to communicate and persuade him again, looking at Chengcheng behind her as she spoke.

With a boastful tone on his face, he said lightly, "Then when are you free? What's so difficult about raising horses? You can just tell them a little bit."

Huhedawa looked at her stiffly and said, "Don't you have your own things to do?! Can you please not show up when I'm busy!"

"Huh! Why are you mad at me? If you don't want to look, don't look. I can look at my pony myself." After saying this, Toya angrily pushed through the crowd and left.

The group of educated youth were silent for a moment as they watched what was happening before their eyes.

"Don't look at her. She was supposed to be on duty to clean the stables today. Now that she's gone, the cleaning task will be handed over to two of you."

"I will explain to you exactly how to clean this stable. Please listen carefully to what I say next. Horses are very important animals in our grasslands and one of our food sources! So when you are entrusting such an important animal to you, you must not make any mistakes!!"

“Anyone who kills horses, sheep, cattle, and other livestock needs to be held accountable and compensate us for our losses!!”

"People here treat them as their own family and have raised them for so many years. To us, they are money and the most precious wealth of the grassland."

Seeing how serious he was, the educated youth listened to every word he said with extreme care.

After Huhedawa explained the precautions, he led everyone to release the horses first.

There were originally fifteen horses in the stable, but because Toya's horse had given birth to a foal and was not suitable to be tied together with the other horses, she tied it up alone.

Toya is angry right now, so there is no need to go to her place just to get the horse and provoke her again.

Excluding her horse, there were fourteen horses left, and all of them were handed over to the care of this group of educated youth.

Huhedawa assigned people to restrain the horses one by one, and each educated youth had to hold the reins and lead the horse and follow him.
