There is a good husband in the crossing house

The winter in Qijia Village is the same as most winters in the south in the previous life, without snow.But it was cold and damp, but before welcoming the winter, Qi Lan and Su Fang had to go to the mountain to collect some firewood and come back.And it takes a lot, at least enough for them to last until spring.

On the way, there were quite a few people who went up the mountain with the same purpose as them. A group of people were chatting and laughing, and it was rare for a family member to go up the mountain with his husband.

"Boy Qi, the little piglets of the village chief's house are about to be sold, do you want to buy two?" Suddenly someone shouted.

"Piggy?" Before Qi Lan could react, Su Fang beside him was already pleasantly surprised: "I know, I know, Uncle Li has a big sow at home, and she gave birth more than a month ago. It's just the time when the little piggies can be sold."

After finishing speaking, Su Fang looked at Qi Lan eagerly again: "Husband, let's buy two little piggies too."

There are only a few chickens and hares in their house, and there are no other animals in the house. Su Fang always feels that something is wrong. He is a child of an authentic farmer's family. He always feels that the house is complete with chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep. It's only solid, but now let alone complete, in fact there are only a few chickens, which were given by others.

Qi Lan thought for a while, this winter is here, and there is nothing to do at home.Aside from other things, no matter in the space or in the field, there are so many vegetable leaves and the like, those earthworms can't eat much, and it's a pity that they all rot in the ground, but it's suitable to feed pigs.

"Okay, let's chop firewood first, and then go to the village chief's grandfather's house to see when we get back."

While Qi Lan was talking, the movements of his hands didn't stop, but even so, he and Su Fang combined couldn't chop more firewood than other people's family alone.

Going home after a tiring day, Qi Lan hammered his sore shoulders while thinking whether he should just buy some firewood. He remembered that when he was in the county, he bought all the firewood at home. The housekeeper gave money to the firewood pickers, and a bundle of firewood was only two copper coins.

"Husband, let's go to the village chief's house, or the little piggy will be sold out."

Su Fang was also tired. He hadn't worked like this in the past few months, and he wasn't used to it.But he cared more about the little piggy than his physical fatigue.He would be sad if the little piggy disappeared because he was a step too late.

"Slow down, slow down, didn't we ask someone to take a message to Uncle Li just now? Ask him to leave us two, there will be no more." Qi Lan and the others moved slowly, and they were on the outskirts of the village, far away from the village chief. Home is a little far away.

So when I saw that someone would go, I asked them to help with the conversation.

But even so, Su Fang didn't stop at all when he trotted Qi Lan all the way. Fortunately, Qi Lan has been unremittingly punching every day during this time.

Otherwise, he would be very embarrassed. Even so, he was still out of breath when he arrived at the village chief's house.

"Boy Qi, Brother Fang, you are finally here. Someone took Qi Lan to drink a few sips of water before, and then nodded after taking a breath: "Really, Uncle Li, Xiao Fang wants to raise two pigs, I think anyway It's not busy in winter, so it's good to buy two piglets and go back. "

Uncle Li nodded to show that he understood. After the two drank water and rested for a while, he took the two of them to the pigsty: "I know you want to buy, so I specially left two for you. But Qi boy , Have you ever thought about where you will lock up when you buy it back?

Your house is so good, if you keep it at home, it would not be so good. "

Uncle Li cleaned the pigsty very clean, and there was not even the smell that Qi Lan imagined. In addition to the four little piglets, there was an old sow and two other big fat pigs in the pigsty.

"Uncle, we are going to raise the pigs in the thatched hut, and there is still a vacant room there."

There are two houses over there, one is for pheasants, hares and the big hens given by the villagers, and the other is empty, which can be used to raise pigs.

However, when Uncle Li heard this, he shook his head: "Boy Qi, don't blame Uncle for meddling in his own business, that hut can't raise pigs, among other things, first of all, where do you clean up the pig manure?"

"This..." Qi Lan really didn't think about it so much, he just thought that he could buy two pigs back and eat the leftovers at home by the way.

"Boy Qi, if you want me to tell you, why don't you just build a few more rooms behind the yard, such as a pigsty and a chicken coop, and wait until the spring of next year. Maybe you still have to buy a cow. Isn't there a gate in your backyard?

It is also very convenient to enter and exit from there, feeding chickens and pigs. "

If it was someone else, Uncle Li would definitely not say casually about this kind of person asking someone to build a house, but the person in front of him is not someone else.It's Qi Lan, this Qi Lan is very capable, there are only a few places where animals are kept, and this kid must not be difficult.

Besides, Uncle Li is really thinking about Qi Lan. Although the thatched hut is not far from Qi Lan's house, if it is winter, the pigs and chickens will have to run so far. Isn't that a sin?

Besides, as he said, there is no latrine under the pigsty, where pigs eat and pee, how to clean it?

After listening to Uncle Li's explanation, Qi Lan also felt that it made sense.After thinking about it, Qi Lan still couldn't bear to part with the fat little piggy in the pigsty: "Uncle Li, you are right, but it will take a few days to start the pigsty, can you help me keep this piggy?" is it on?"

"It's no problem. It's easy to set up a pigsty. If you go directly to the villagers, there must be a lot of people to help. It will be completed in a few days."

Uncle Li was also very happy to see that Qi Lan had listened to his suggestion.As for the piggies staying for a few more days, it's not a problem at all.

So, Qi Lan bid farewell to Uncle Li for the time being. When he went back, he happened to meet the village head and Uncle Er Zhuang coming back with firewood on their backs. I told the village head about it.

"That's no problem. The homesteads you bought back then were not used up even if you built a yard. Now you don't need to buy another one, just build it at the back of the house.

As for the latrines, there is a man named Qi Dashan at the head of our village. He is good at digging latrines to build pigpens. We almost always ask him to help the pigpens in our village, and they will not break after decades of use. "

"Well, I'll go ask Uncle Dashan right now, and tell the villagers by the way. If you are willing to come and help, you will get thirty copper coins a day."

The reason why there are five copper coins less than before building a house is naturally because it is now winter, the daylight is late, and the night is dark early.

Although Qi Lan is willing to do good deeds, she doesn't want to be a boy who spreads money.
