Back to the era with space materials

The Educated Youth Point had not yet been equipped with a lock, so Si Ningning simply tied the door with a hemp rope. He carried a small cucumber in his pocket and ate one in his hand while walking. Before entering the production team, two small cucumbers were destroyed.

There are only about 40 households in the third team, but they are scattered and not densely packed together, so the entire third team covers a large area.

Pigs are precious collective property these days. He is afraid that someone who is not afraid of death might come to steal the pigs, so Zhao Hongbing had convened people to build a pig pen at the center of the production team.

They probably thought it would be easy to take care of and safe, but in fact, the nearest house to the pig pen was more than fifty meters away, with a lot of miscellaneous trees in between.

At first, Si Ningning was worried that she would not be able to do anything in the pig pen. Only when she got to the pig pen did she realize how clever the terrain and the environment were.

There are trees all around, so it's very well hidden. She doesn't have to worry about being discovered easily if she wants to enter the space, and she won't be exposed to the sun if she doesn't enter the space.

There are dry toilets and cesspools behind the pig pens. The third team raises four pigs. These four pigs rely on the main manure for the crops, so the cesspools are not small. Fortunately, they are covered tightly and there is no smell.

It's an exaggeration. As long as you don't get close, you really can't smell the smell over there.

However, the manure storage tank is a manure storage tank. After all, there are four pigs in the pig pen. Guarding these four pigs, of course, it is impossible for there to be no smell at all.

After looking at it, Si Ningning put her index finger against her nose, leaned on the edge of the pig pen and looked in.

She thought that the pigs in the space were already thin, but she did not expect that the pigs in the production team were even slimmer.

There are two pigs lying lazily on the ground, which is not obvious at first glance, but the other two pigs are snoring around the trough, and you can see them very clearly. You can see the small bulges of bones on their backs.

One is that I am thin, and the other is that the pigs and pig pens are very dirty, and the white pigs have turned gray. The soil is not flat, and there is yellow liquid in some of the small pits on the ground.

Si Ningning knew what those were.

"Tsk..."

Si Ningning said "tsk", her face and eyebrows wrinkled together, and just as she was thinking about how to clean it up, a head tilted out of the alley not far away, followed by a series of dense footsteps, "Sister, educated youth!"

It's Sanya.

"Ah, Sanya." Si Ningning leaned on the edge of the pig pen, raised her eyebrows and gave a bright and gentle smile, "You're here."

Si Ningning is good-looking, and she is not as shy as other educated youths when getting along with others. She speaks loudly and has a gentle attitude. Among all the educated youths, Sanya is the most familiar with her and likes her the most.

Sanya jumped up to Si Ningning, pulled the small backpack slung to her back, first took out a small old plane and handed it to Si Ningning, and then took out two large and small planes from it.

Different tomatoes were handed to Si Ningning.

There were beads of sweat on the little girl's forehead, her wheat-colored cheeks were flushed with heat, and she grinned at Si Ningning with her two front teeth missing: "My mother asked me to bring it, and it has been washed very clean. I will do it after my sister has finished eating."

Live!"

Si Ningning was quite familiar with Sanya, so she knew she couldn't push him away, so she smiled and thanked her, and reached for the smaller one.

Sanya was also smart. The hand holding the tomato suddenly clenched and retracted, and she said in a leaky voice: "Sister, I want to eat it too. I eat the small one, and you eat the big one."

Si Ningning tapped her forehead with her index finger and took the big tomato.

The sun was gradually setting and the temperature outside was rising. Si Ningning asked Sanya to squat in a cool place.

The pig pen can be regarded as a geomantic treasure in the summer, with the shadow of trees and a vent. Once the draft passed, while chewing the sweet and sour tomatoes, Si Ningning actually felt that the little life in front of her was quite comfortable.

"My mother said that the main work in the pig pen is to feed the pigs and clean the pig pen. Someone brought pig grass, which needs to be turned over and dried to remove the dew before it can be eaten by the pigs. Generally, fresh pig grass can be kept for two or three days in hot weather.

Pig grass is a supplementary food. For the staple food, you have to go to the warehouse to get rice bran. The uncle in charge of the warehouse will calculate the amount. The staple food needs to be fed once at noon and in the afternoon."

Si Ningning nodded and listened carefully.

Sanya added: "The next step is to clean the pig pen. My mother said, just sweep the pig excrement. First sweep it into the ditch, and then sweep it along the small ditch to the cesspool."

Saying that, Sanya tilted her head and added, "By the way, my mother also said that the work in the pig pen is easy. You can just come and do it at a fixed point. You don't have to stay here all the time."

After two cucumbers, another tomato was eaten. Even though he had not eaten breakfast in the morning, Si Ningning didn't feel hungry now.

She nodded lightly and said "hmm" and asked Sanya: "Is there a well near here? Or a place where I can get water?"

"Go up from the back and go around the house and then down a slope. There is a small pond there."

There was an uphill slope behind the dry toilet. Sanya pointed the direction to Si Ningning, then turned her hand and pointed to the other end of the alley, "There is also Sister-in-law Tuesday's house on the left side of the alley ahead.

, Her house has a pressurized water well, sister, if you need water, you can go to their house, Sister-in-law on Tuesday is very easy to talk to."

Si Ningning silently wrote it down, and then asked Sanya about some things about Tuesday's sister-in-law's house.

The eldest son of the Zhou family died when he was young. After the second son got married, he went to work in the town rubber factory with the eldest son of the production team leader, Sanya's eldest brother. He could not come back twice a month. Usually, the family consisted of his wife, his children, and his mother-in-law.

exist.

Mother-in-law Zhou was blinded by crying because of her eldest son, and she usually stayed out of things outside. Sister-in-law Zhou was a quick-handed mistress, cheerful and polite.

Si Ningning silently wrote down the information, and then invited Sanya to take her to the warehouse to collect rice bran and familiarize herself with the process.

At this time, the members had already received their farm tools, and Zhao Hongfa had just sorted out yesterday's work points and was busy in the warehouse.

Seeing Si Ningning and Sanya coming over, he laughed twice, grabbed the cattail leaf fan and came out of the door, "Comrade educated youth, are you here for the rice bran thing?"

Si Ningning smiled and nodded, "Aunt Lianmi has said hello to you."

"Hey, what else do you want to say hello to?" Zhao Hongfa waved his hand, "The farming has been very busy recently. If the woman taking care of the pig pens didn't go to the fields, she should have come over half an hour ago. She didn't come for half a day today. I

Take another look and you'll understand what's going on."

Zhao Hongfa kept laughing when he spoke. Si Ningning didn't think it was anything at first, but as the other party became more friendly, she felt embarrassed, "This is my first time, I didn't calculate the time and I was a little late, and I delayed my uncle's business.

"

"That's right. I usually guard a warehouse and don't do anything else." Zhao Hongbing smiled heartily, waved his hand and led Sanya and Si Ningning into the house. There were several old but densely woven sacks leaning against the corner of the house.

, and there is a long pole next to it.

Zhao Hongfa pointed to the bag, "There is a lot of rice bran. There are four pigs in our production team. This section is fed twice a day, totaling eight catties. Comrade educated youth, do you think you should take eight catties away at one time, or come back in the afternoon?"

Get it once?"

Si Ningning thought about it. In the afternoon, the commune members had to return the farm tools, and even if they didn't wait, they would be delayed for a while, so he said, "I'll take them together, feed some of them first, and take the other part back to the educated youth point."

Zhao Hongfa nodded, pulled out an empty sack, scooped out the chaff with a gourd and scooped it into the bag, and then hung it heavily on a public weighing hook.

Even though eight pounds of rice bran doesn’t sound like much, this thing doesn’t weigh a lot, and it’s really hard to hold eight pounds in it.

When Si Ningning took the sack, Zhao Hongfa deliberately said a few more words, "Be careful about the remaining chaff. You must take it with you when you go back... Remember to bring the sack over tomorrow after feeding."

Zhao Hongfa was worried that Si Ningning would lose the rice bran and be trained as a newbie.

Although pigs are collective property, how many people are watching this rough grain in the dark?

Especially those who don't care about the job of feeding pigs. Those people take the grain away, take it home and mix it with bran cabbage dumplings, or feed it to chickens and ducks. Anyway, it doesn't matter if someone takes the blame for the loss of grain.

When it comes to them, they just enjoy themselves and don't care whether others live or die.

Zhao Hongfa almost bluntly said that it was only after Si Ningning's repeated assurances that he finally let Si Ningning go.

But just as Si Ningning walked outside the warehouse yard, Zhao Hongfa said again: "The big covered vat next to the pig pen and haystack is used to hold swill. Use that to mix food."

"I've written it all down, thank you, uncle." Si Ningning waved her hands, holding the chaff in one hand and putting it on Sanya's shoulder, and the two of them walked back.

Returning to the pig pen, Si Ningning put down the bag of chaff, and sure enough, he saw a large vat next to the haystack at the corner of the pig pen.

She curiously opened it and took a look. The swill smelled rancid, and it was really just "water". Apart from some rotten vegetable leaves, there was basically nothing else in it.

Come to think of it, it’s hard to eat enough these days, and there’s basically nothing left, let alone throw it away.

Maybe they smelled the smell of swill, and several pigs knew it was time to eat. They approached the fence one by one, raised their heads with their mouths open, and called out "Hmph, hum, hum!"

To be honest, after all, the pigs in the space were raised by herself, and Si Ningning was not afraid of feeding them on a daily basis, but this was her first time coming into contact with the pigs of the production team.

Seeing the pigs' impatient looks, Si Ningning was really worried that just like Song Xiaoyun said, these pigs would bite people.

But the work has been assigned to everyone, and now that we have reached this point, it is impossible to retreat.

Si Ningning had no choice but to use her usual method, picking up the wooden ladle for scooping out swill and knocking twice on the fence.

While knocking, he was chanting "Go, go, go". The pigs were frightened and they retreated and scattered, huddled pitifully in the corner of the pig pen.

Sanya has been watching from the side. She is worried that Si Ningning will not be able to join the battle. She wants to help, but since she has never fed pigs before, she doesn't know where to start.

Seeing that Si Ningning had frightened several pigs now, Sanya breathed a sigh of relief, grinned and said with a smile: "Sister is really amazing."

"hehe……"

Is it awesome?

Maybe.

Si Ningning looked ashamed.

After struggling for more than ten minutes, the pig food was finally mixed. While several pigs were huddled on the edge of the trough and eating, Si Ningning climbed into the pig pen with a broken broom head.

In the past, when I raised pigs in space, I forgot to leave a door, so I had to "turn" to get in and out of the pig pen. However, the production team's pig pen actually has a door, but it is screwed shut with iron wire.

According to Sanya, someone did not close the door and let the pigs run out. That time the entire production team was mobilized to catch the pigs, which wasted a lot of effort.

Worried that something similar would happen, I simply screwed the door shut and opened it again when the pigs were slaughtered at the end of the year.

After hearing this, Si Ningning couldn't help but sigh in her heart: So, the sisters-in-law and mothers-in-law who used to take care of the pig pen also turned over and over again.

The young ones are fine, but the older ones are really brave... What happens if you accidentally fall?

When Si Ningning was cleaning, he was extremely careful when he stepped, just to avoid slipping.

After all, this is a pigsty with four pigs!

If she really fell down inside, she would probably have to find a piece of tofu to hit her to death when she got out.

Fortunately, the pigs were focused on eating and did not cause trouble.

Si Ningning was cleaning inside, sweeping the trampled vegetable leaves, vegetable stems and excrement into the small ditch under the fence door. Outside, Sanya also found a broom head and helped sweep along the ditch to the cesspool.

The two of them worked together so well that they finished cleaning everything in less than half an hour.

Si Ningning handed the broom head out first, then stepped on the gap in the pig pen fence and pulled it out. She asked Sanya: "Do you have anything else to do later? Do you want to go to the educated youth spot with me?"

"I have to deliver water to my father." Sanya shook her head regretfully and walked into the alley as she spoke, "Sister Educated Youth, I will come and play with you next time when I have time!"

Si Ningning smiled and waved her hand to let her go.

As soon as Sanya left, the pig pen suddenly became quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the "whooshing" sound of several pigs digging into the trough.

Si Ningning swept the outside corners of the pig pen, then left the pig pen with the remaining half bag of rice bran.

Before returning to Educated Youth Point, Si Ningning went to Granny Hu's house again, using the excuse that the chickens had been taken away to ask Granny Hu if she had any left and wanted to buy two more.

The last time Si Ningning came over, it was Chen Lianmi who led her. Po Hu felt relieved about Si Ningning, but when she heard that the little chicken had been harmed, Po Hu wrinkled her old face, sighed and said several times, "It's a pity."

".

Even so, Granny Hu does still have two chicks left in her family, one male and one female.

Hu Po took a few breaths from her asthma and said, "You don't have a choice this time."

"No choice, no choice." Si Ningning waved her hands repeatedly, "Mother-in-law, I want both of these, is two cents right?"

Mrs. Hu nodded, and Si Ningning neatly took out the money.

Before, I deliberately asked for pullets because they were bought for educated youth, and their purpose was just to eat eggs.

But now I want to give her space to buy it.

Two chickens are a bit too few, but as long as they can survive and both males and females are available, are you worried that there won’t be a second or third chicken in the future?

Mrs. Hu took the money. Her eyes were not good, and she looked close to the window for a long time like last time. Then she turned around and asked Si Ningning, "Did you get the stuff you packed? If not, I'll get you one."

Basket, you can bring it back to me later."

Si Ningning smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, I took it. It's just outside the door."

Mrs. Hu nodded and said nothing, silently allowing Si Ningning to snatch the two chicks away with her bare hands.

Si Ningning, on the way back to the educated youth spot, wandered into the space on the old corner road full of weeds and trees.

The top priority is to settle the two chickens.
