Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

Liu Xia Lian saw that the oil in her kerosene lamp was almost gone. Life must be tight, but as the old saying goes, help in emergencies but not in poverty, you still have to live your own life.

"Sister Chunlan, I wonder if you are willing to do my vegetable farming job. It's the same as Sister Guilan's, 45 yuan a month, bonuses are another matter. Whether you get bonuses depends on the output in the future."

Chunlan's eyes suddenly widened. She asked Guilan and also thought about going to work at Liu Xialian's house. Guilan asked Liu Xialian, and Liu Xialian said that the farm was still small and did not need much manpower, and that it could be done after it was expanded.

"Yes, I want to do it. I am an expert in growing vegetables. I can grow beans, peppers, cabbage, cucumbers, loofahs, and anything else."

"Then we'll start working after the third day of the New Year. If you want to work long-term, you can get 45 yuan a month. If you want to work temporarily, you can get 1 yuan a day. Please consider it."

Chunlan said, "That's not right. It's so cold, and the ice will not break for more than two months. It's too early to plant vegetables. It's the wrong season."

"Hey, I have my own way. You'll know when you get there. Don't worry. Whether you succeed or fail, I'll pay you."

The second family was a single mother. Because her husband’s family was poor, he went into the mountains to hunt and never came back. His body was never found.

The woman's surname was Zhang, her full name was Shuiqin. She was struggling to make ends meet with a six-year-old boy. Given the normal gender ratio these days, it was not easy for a woman to remarry while raising a child.

The door of Shuiqin's house was open, and Shuiqin was moving the chicken coop. The house was small, so she moved the chicken coop into the house at night to prevent the chickens from freezing to death, and moved it out during the day so that they could get some sun and add vitality to the chickens.

"Sister Shuiqin, have you eaten?"

"Oh, sister Xia Lian, come in quickly, the house is messy."

If Chunlan's family is in difficulty, then Shuiqin's family is extremely poor. There is a kang as soon as you enter the door, and there is no living room. The only furniture in the house is a thermos and a cup. There is nothing else that catches the eye.

I was still sitting on the kang eating corn porridge and a few biscuits. I thought I didn't have money to buy dumplings for the New Year, so I bought some biscuits for the children at 20 cents a piece.

The child must have parasites in his body, and he looks pale and thin.

"Sister Shuiqin, the child is still growing, he can't eat biscuits all the time."

"Well, I normally wouldn't be willing to eat it, but today is Chinese New Year and it's his birthday, so I specially asked someone to bring it back from the forest farm yesterday."

"Come, child, eat dumplings." Liu Xia Lian said as she took out two large bowls of dumplings and placed them on the table on the kang.

"Sister-in-law, you can eat it too. It's stuffed with meat."

"Wow, thank you." Shuiqin started crying while eating because her husband's parents-in-law insisted that she was the one who killed him. After getting married, she couldn't go back to her parents' home. She had 20 mu of land to farm, but no husband or livestock. After paying the public grain and the levy, she could barely eat corn at the end of the year. Shuiqin felt very miserable.

The little boy put down the dumplings and came over to wipe his mother's tears: "Mom, don't cry. When I grow up, I will raise chickens for you to eat."

Liu Xia Lian said: "Da Ya, Er Ya, you two go back and make dumplings, and bring a fish and a piece of bacon."

"Okay, sister." The two went back to get their things.

Liu Xialian stuffed thirty yuan into Shuiqin's pocket and said, "Everyone has their own hardships, but we have to look forward. Take this and buy new clothes for the child someday. He can't stand the cold in this cold weather."

Shuqin cried and refused: "It's not easy for you either. I can't take it."

"Well, I'll start growing vegetables on the third day of the new year. I'll make 45 yuan a month. You can come and work. This 30 yuan will be considered an advance."

Shuiqin cried and finally accepted the money. Daya came back with the incubator, and Erya came back with a bighead carp and a piece of bacon weighing several kilograms.

“Sister Shuiqin, remember to use the fish and meat to improve your life. We won’t bother you anymore. We still have to deliver dumplings to other families.”

Well, it was New Year's Day, and after working all morning, after delivering dumplings home, Erya kept shouting, "Sister, this is more tiring than hunting. Every family I went to was in tears. I won't go next time. Seeing them makes me want to cry."

It is easy to empathize with people who are not firm in their character and do bad things.

"Okay, you must be tired, go home and rest. We'll have some dumplings in the afternoon. You can take a nap later, and I'll bring them to you when you wake up."

While people were busy eating, the big black mule and the big blue horse were stretching their necks and neighing. It turned out that there was not enough grass in the morning, so Liu Xia Lian fed the mule and the horse.

The animals in the farm are still howling with hunger. Usually, it is Sister Guilan who feeds them, but since we have these two days off, it is Liu Xia Lian's turn to feed them.

Daya said, "Erya, go home and sleep. I will feed her together with my sister."

Erya yawned and said, "I'll go with you too."

"Neither of you need to go. It's not that troublesome to feed dozens of animals. I'll feed them in a moment."

Da Ya and Er Ya both went home to sleep. The New Year celebrations made them feel tired, so they got up early and naturally felt sleepy after noon.

Liu Xia Lian came to the old house breeding farm and found that everything was ready.

The two little hunting dogs brought from Dahuang and Li Laopao's house were eating boiled corn with wild boar bones. However, there was not much meat on the bones, so the hunting dogs just nibbled on them to supplement their calcium.

In the pigsty, there was a wild boar and fifteen black pigs.

The wild boar has grown to over a hundred years old, and its growth rate is amazing.

The fifteen black sows weigh more than 80 kilograms, and some of the larger ones weigh over 100 kilograms. By the time they give birth in March or April, they will weigh at least 200 kilograms.

The wild boars were fed raw food, while the fifteen sows were fed cooked food that should have been cooked last night.

In the donkey shed, Sister Guilan and her mother were forking grass to feed the donkeys and roe deer.

Liu Xia Lian asked: "Sister-in-law Guilan, why are you here? Isn't it a holiday today?"

Guilan said with a smile, "What do you mean by holiday or not? There's nothing to do on the first day of the new year. I came here to exercise after eating my dumplings. I miss these animals after not seeing them for a day. You treat me and Lao Xu as your family, so we must not be formal."

The development of donkeys is also relatively slow. The donkeys in the surrounding villages and the ones sent by Sister Tian add up to about 30, one male donkey and 30 female donkeys. For the time being, we need to carry out pure breeding, first cultivate a sufficient number of female donkeys, and then use male horses and female donkeys to produce mules with greater pulling power, so as to cultivate mules with large size, strong pulling power, good temper and less food.

As for the roe deer in the pen next to them, they are the happiest. They are called silly roe deer. This winter, we have caught three male roe deer and thirty female roe deer. Each male roe deer is paired with ten females. This is considered to be three original populations. When their second generation is born, they will need to replace the male roe deer to continue breeding the third generation of roe deer.

As soon as Liu Xialian forked the fodder outside the fence, the roe deer came over to ask for food. They like to eat grass, but they like to eat corn even more. The fodder mixed with corn and soybean meal tasted particularly delicious.
