Chapter 378 No one in the world would have known earlier

Quick lime powder will generate heat when it comes into contact with water. When the lime powder reaches a certain amount, you can no longer directly stir the water with your hands or clean the duck down. You need to use other tools or pour out the water in the basin and simply do it again.

Use water and rub it with water.

Si Ningning pondered and memorized it, and improved it as he memorized it. After two more tests and he was sure that everything confirmed what he thought, he handed the complete plan to Zhao Hongbing.

At that time, most of the rabbit house for the production team had been built, with an overall area of ​​about 140 to 150 square meters. The walls were common adobe walls in the countryside. In order to save costs, the roof was thatched.

After adding the beams, the main structure of the roof is built, then thatch is first laid, then yellow mud is applied, and finally a layer of this year's new straw is spread on the surface.

Although the overall structure is not as light as tiles, the effect of keeping warm in winter and cooling in summer can be achieved.

Most of the cost of the roof was saved, but for the windows, considering the brightness and safety, Zhao Hongbing didn't spend a penny. Not only did he install the glass, he also spent a large sum of money to transport it back from the county steel factory.

A batch of steel bars were used to build a ring of anti-theft guardrails on the windows.

Part of these funds are the extra public funds generated by the production team in previous years, part is the money paid by Zhao Hongbing himself, and part is borrowed by Zhao Hongbing from the team.

Zhao Hongbing was determined and had to make a name for himself.

During this period, Chen Lianmi had several quarrels with him over this matter, but in the end she was unable to persuade him.

There was nothing he could do if he didn't agree. He had borrowed money and spent money. It was not a problem to continue arguing. Chen Lianmi could only suppress the anger in her stomach and secretly prayed to Bodhisattva and God to bless her. This would definitely happen.

Others can only endure their temper and work hard.

The problem of the site was solved, and the next step was the rabbit cage. In addition to the manpower mobilized from several other production teams, Zhao Hongbing basically mobilized all the young and strong laborers of the three teams to cut wood, turn wooden boards, build storage racks, make rabbit cages, etc.

The hardest working people at that time were not the young and strong laborers, but the old, weak, women and children in the team, because most of the work in the production team fell on them.

After nearly two months of busy work, the rabbit house was finally completed. More than ten rows of shelves were put in first, followed by the rabbit cages. Each shelf was divided into three layers and was two meters long. A total of 12 rabbit cages could be placed on the top, middle and bottom.

More than a dozen racks are equivalent to more than a hundred rabbit cages, but in fact, there are only more than 30 rabbits currently, and many cages are idle.

In order for the rabbit house to get on the right track as soon as possible, Zhao Hongbing, the educated youth point, and several people in the team who had exchanged rabbits before had said hello in advance. Once a baby rabbit was born at home, after twelve days of weaning and opening its eyes, in addition to

The share reserved by the family will be sent to the team's rabbit house.

During this period, Zhao Hongbing found a few nimble sisters-in-law in the team to clean the rabbit house at regular times every day. He also found a few young men and women to learn from Si Ningning how to take care of rabbits.

Also attached to patrol the rabbit house, learn and practice observation.

Zhao Hongbing has always felt that young people's brains are much better than those who are older and have not read much. The future development of the country and the future prospects of the production team are inseparable from these young men.

of.

Therefore, Zhao Hongbing never hides his secrets when it comes to learning technology. He has always been keen on cultivating talents.

This is the situation of our own team, but what about the other production teams?

According to what was said in advance, Luo Daqing had already engraved the official seal, and also sent a small red book with the cumulative prize stamp to each production team. The three teams had built rabbit houses before, and Zhao Hongbing saw everyone helping.

Therefore, in response to what Zhao Hongbing said, each production team was given a stamp.

At the same time, several kittens from the third team were also adopted. With Zhao Hongbing's instructions in advance, everyone politely promised to treat them well, and many of them were available to visit at any time, so Zhao Hongbing had nothing to say.

Of course, in addition to these, Luo Daqing also brought good news afterwards.

That was how he had reported to the commune how to solve the problem of rabbit rations. Through the help of commune director Li Dekun and Director Li, Luo Daqing successfully obtained a bag of grass seeds.

According to Li Dekun, alfalfa seeds are used as fodder for horses in the north. They can also be eaten by rabbits, guinea pigs, etc. They are easy to grow regardless of the growing environment.

Zhao Hongbing was so happy that he didn't ask anyone else to do it this time. After he got the grass seeds, he went to the opposite hill with a hoe and shovel to reclaim some wasteland, and planted one-third of the grass seeds.

.

Zhao Hongbing did not take it all for himself. After he divided about half of the grass seeds, the rest was returned to Luo Daqing, saying that it would be distributed to several other production teams.

Luo Daqing did not persuade him. In fact, Luo Daqing knew what Zhao Hongbing planned.

This is another way of making progress by retreating.

On the surface, it seems that the grass seeds are separated and reserved for the production teams for later use. The actual calculation is that they have no rabbits to raise now, but they can plant alfalfa first.

Wait until the end of the year, or next year when the number of rabbits in the third team is increased, then use alfalfa fodder to exchange for rabbits.

Luo Daqing secretly shook his head and muttered that Zhao Hongbing is really a good person.

He didn't suffer any loss at all, everything was calculated for him.

But what can we say about a cadre who seeks the welfare and future of the members in this way?

"Okay, there are still things in the brigade, so I will sit down soon and go back." Luo Daqing waved his hand, stood up and walked out slowly, "If you have any problems here, or if you need help, go to the brigade.

Discuss with me."

"Oh! Hey, okay, Lao Luo, just wait a little longer, I won't send you off!"

Watching Luo Daqing leave happily, Zhao Hongbing went back to the main room and drank two large glasses of water, then shouted to the kitchen:

"Lianmi, I went to the educated youth spot to have a look. I'll be back soon."

"Come back early for dinner and don't go crazy!"

"Oh, I know!"

Zhao Hongbing took off his hat on the wall. He originally planned to visit the educated youth and see what Si Ningning was doing.

Perhaps it was Si Ningning who was responsible for growing mushrooms and raising rabbits. Zhao Hongbing had always felt that Si Ningning was very capable and skilled, so in addition to his usual literacy classes, he was very willing to let Si Ningning hang out in the rabbit house.

It was as if Si Ningning could find out if something was wrong.

However, the abacus was very good. When Zhao Hongbing arrived at the educated youth point and asked about Si Ningning, Jiang Yue poked his head out of the room and told him, "Captain, we have a rest today. Si Ningning went to the county and said it was for...

Academician Liang went out with Comrade Huo Lang early in the morning to deliver things, and I guess he won't be back until three or four in the afternoon!"

Jiang Yue asked Zhao Hongbing, "Didn't Si Ningning say anything when she left? I thought she had greeted you in advance."

Zhao Hongbing waved his hand and said "Oh" several times, "It's okay, it's okay. Academician Liang's side is more important. I don't have anything important here. I just came here to take a look. Jiang Zhiqing, you should be busy."

"well."

Jiang Yue was a little confused, but she didn't think too deeply. She responded and went back to the room to lie down and read a book.

And what is Si Ningning, who was found by Zhao Hongbing, doing at this moment?

In fact, Si Ningning and Huo Lang were already on their way back.

Some time has passed since the last time I sent a kitten to Academician Liang. This time, taking advantage of the weekend literacy class holiday, Si Ningning asked Huo Lang to go to the county once and deliver a new bag of cat food to Academician Liang.

, By the way, Si Ningning also revealed about the production team raising rabbits.

When Liang Qinghong heard that Si Ningning's production team wanted to breed rabbits in large numbers, she was silent for a while. When she talked to Si Ningning afterwards, Liang Qinghong tactfully revealed some situations, such as that rabbits are sick in a litter, and congenital contagion is rapid, so it is necessary to

It is necessary to treat Yun Yun as soon as possible.

In order to avoid getting sick, and to improve the physical fitness of the rabbits when raising them, Liang Qinghong asked Si Ningning to remind Zhao Hongbing that there are several kinds of chemicals used by female and pregnant animals, and the production team must always have them on hand to meet unexpected needs.

Si Ningning kept it all in mind, and before returning from the county, she and Huo Lang had been wandering around the county for a while, and they had brought back two big bags of the medicine Liang Qinghong mentioned.

One of them should be placed in the water and fed to the rabbit when encountering a situation. The other type is somewhat similar to the calcium tablets taken by humans. When feeding rabbits, it should be placed in the ration and fed to the rabbit together.

Of course, in addition to these two medicines, Liang Qinghong also shared some other knowledge about rabbits, such as the convenience of raising rabbits in the countryside, new wheat grass, Lao Caibangzi, rabbits are not picky, they can eat all these.

And corn cobs, if reserved, can also help rabbits grind their teeth to prevent teeth from growing too long, causing lesions, or fighting between the same kind.

Si Ningning kept it in mind and told Zhao Hongbing when he planned to go back.

The car was swaying on the mountain road. Si Ningning stared out the window and thought of something. She turned around and asked Huo Lang:

"Have you shown the little clothes I made last time to Uncle San De?"

"Looked at it."

"What did Uncle Sandoku say?"

Huo Lang turned back and looked at Si Ningning, thought for a while, and said, "Uncle, I think it's strange that duck feathers can be used to make clothes. However, considering that the size of the lakes in Team 7 is limited, and the upstream and downstream rivers are deep ditches, there is no way to expand the area.

, the members also don’t support the duck feather issue very much, probably because..."

Afraid of disappointing Si Ningning, Huo Lang did not continue.

Si Ningning understood what he meant, tilted her head to think about it, and said with a slight smile:

"It's okay. Team 7 has always had its own side business, and its living standards are guaranteed to a certain extent. It's understandable that the members are unwilling to take risks."

Huo Lang sighed slightly and continued to comfort: "It's a pity that you worked hard for so long."

"What's the point? I'm not studying all day and night, I'm just messing around during my break. What's the point of hard work?"

Si Ningning shook her head indifferently, but when talking about this matter, she couldn't help but say a few more words, "Last time I didn't have much duck down, so I made a small vest for Sanae. After Uncle Santoku finished reading it, remember to take it."

When I come back, it will be cold and Sanae still needs to wear some clothes!"

Huo Lang nodded, "Okay, I'll go get it when I have time in a few days."

"Yeah." Si Ningning nodded, thought for a while, and asked:

"Team 7 raises ducks. If they don't plan to expand their side business, are they not going to ask for the duck feathers? Then say hello when you pass by and ask Uncle San De to help you keep an eye on them.

There is still a lot of cloth you bought for me last time, and I will make vests for you and He Gu later."

Down clothes not only keep you warm, they are also light to wear. You don’t need to wrap yourself up in a whole body of clothes. It’s hard to turn around when doing anything in winter.

Huo Lang nodded, "Okay, I'll let him make more, and you can make it for yourself later."

"Um!"

Shan Mantang looked back from the rearview mirror and saw both of them smiling sweetly. He scratched his forehead and asked, "Have the wedding invitations been sent?"

"Ah?" Si Ningning was stunned for a moment. It took him a while to realize what was going on, and his face couldn't help but turn red.

Huo Lang shook his head slightly and replied with a chuckle: "No, it's almost over. When I get back to posting, you will be indispensable."

Shan Mantang was happy, "Okay, then I'll be waiting!"

Huo Lang always focused on Si Ningning's feelings. Seeing that Si Ningning was embarrassed, he chatted with Dan Mantang to ease the atmosphere:

"Don't just stare at others. When will you also catch up?"

"Haha, definitely, definitely! I will be next!"

Shan Mantang scratched his head and laughed dryly.

In the past, it was Huo Lang who was pushed, but now he started to push others.

Really...

As things turn, who will God spare?

Seeing the interaction between the two, Si Ningning curled her lips and put her fist to her lips and laughed.

Huo Lang raised his thin lips, and quietly saw the situation on Si Ningning's side with his peripheral vision.

Yes.

Everything has basically settled, and the matter between him and Si Ningning should also be put on the agenda.

Huo Lang's big hand moved slowly, and under the cover of the driver's seat, he held Si Ningning's hand tightly.

Fragments of sunlight spilled into the car through the car window and fell on the two of them. The two of them turned their heads at the same time and smiled at each other.

They parted ways with Shan Mantang at the cable bridge. The two went back to the team hand in hand, and separated again at the production team. Huo Lang went back to do some trivial matters, while Si Ningning went to Zhao Hongbing's house to report what Liang Qinghong had just told him in the county.

information.

As usual, after Zhao Hongbing heard what Si Ningning said, he asked Si Ningning to write it down on paper as before. As for the two large packages of medicine, what they did and how to use them, he naturally wrote them down together.

Zhao Hongbing held the two packets of medicine and stroked them carefully. He looked at Si Ningning carefully for a long time and then said: "Si Zhiqing, the team built a rabbit house a while ago, and our production team's public expenses were almost spent. These two packets of medicine

What I owe you first, I will pay you back when the accounts are settled at the end of the year!"

Si Ningning smiled lightly and waved her hand, "It doesn't matter, uncle, I didn't buy this medicine, it was bought by Huo Lang. It doesn't cost much, so just treat it as a member of Huo Lang's support team."

"Alas! How can this be done?" Zhao Hongbing shook his head, "Public is public, private is private, how can we ask him to subsidize the collective business? No, no, no, this money, when the team is liquidated at the end of the year, I will return it to him!"

Si Ningning couldn't say anything, so she smiled and nodded and said "Alas".

After the matter was finished, Si Ningning was about to leave, but Zhao Hongbing stopped her again.

"What's wrong, uncle? Is there anything else?"

Zhao Hongbing waved his hand, "It's not a big deal, it's just that. Academician Liang has helped us a lot. Our team's sideline business is currently on the road of construction. When it gets better, when you go to the county to find Academician Liang,

You must tell me first. If nothing else, we have received so much favor from others, why should we return even a little bit of it, right?"

"Otherwise, I won't be able to bother you if something happens later!"

Si Ningning nodded and said with a smile: "Oh, okay!"

Zhao Hongbing was satisfied and laughed too, "Hey, there's nothing else to do. Si Zhiqing, it's a rare day off, so you should go back and rest too!"

"Hey, uncle, I'll go back first."

"Alas!" Zhao Hongbing escorted Si Ningning to the gate of the courtyard, "Slow down! Si Zhiqing."

"I understand, uncle, let's go into the house! It's just a short walk, what do you want me to give you?"

"Okay, okay..."

In addition to the alfalfa seeds sent by Luo Daqing, in order to ensure that the rabbits had enough to eat, in his free time, Zhao Hongbing called on the members of the team to reclaim land on the hillside, collect rich and even surplus vegetable seeds from people in the team, and expand the farming area.

.

The vegetables grown are eaten first by the members, and then by the pigs and rabbit houses in the team.

After the beginning of winter, the life of the production team basically returned to calm, and the sideline business was gradually on the right track. In the meantime, the new house in Huo Lang's house had been completely completed. He made a promise to Si Ningning in his heart, and he had a bright eye.

Without telling Si Ningning, he went to the county and brought back a radio and sewing machine.

Those two eyes were carried into the team, but the older sisters-in-law, younger wives and young girls in the team were so envious that they all talked behind the scenes: Why didn't you know that Huo Lang's conditions were so good before?

If they had known this earlier, who would have cared about the two younger ones in the Chen family?

Jin Qiaoda has already been promoted, but now it’s Si Ningning’s turn?

Si Ningning had heard some of these discussions, but she had never taken them to heart.

The world has never known it in advance. Even if it had, so what?

If there is a possibility between those girls and Huo Lang, what does she have to do with her now?

And is Holang stupid?

He is not stupid.

Not only is he not stupid, he is also not someone who will give in.

If he knew that a girl came for his money and didn't treat him, He Gu, and Sanae sincerely, would he still choose or be willing to care about that girl?

Of course not.

So, what do you care about what others say?

If someone has a mouth on his body and they say it, can you still go up and cover it?

Si Ningning had no intention of visiting. She just worked on herself and waited for the day when Huo Lang came to see her and made the promise in person.

Finally, there was a Friday holiday after school, and the children in the literacy class were almost picked up by their families who came from all walks of life. Si Ningning returned to the educated youth center half an hour earlier than usual, and was discussing with Jiang Yue that the next Monday would be the day off.

Come back for a routine mock exam to test the children's recent learning.

As soon as the matter was spoken, Sanae and Hegu's joyful shouts were heard from outside the door:

"Si Ningning! Come quickly!"

"Sister Ning, big brother is looking for you. He is waiting for you on the slope behind~"

Si Ningning's voice paused, as if he had realized something, and his heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.

Seeing that she suddenly stopped moving, Jiang Yue smiled and urged:

"Why are you standing there so stupidly? They've come here to find you. It's the thing you've been looking forward to. Why don't you go and have a look?"

Si Ningning came back to her senses, smiled sheepishly at Jiang Yue, put down the things on hand, and ran out of the house in a trot.

yes!

You've been waiting for so long, and now it's finally here. If you have stage fright, you're too hopeless, right?

Si Ningning thought about it, laughed twice, and walked faster.

But when Si Ningning and her two little ones came to the small slope diagonally behind the Educated Youth Point, there was no sign of Huo Lang there.

Si Ningning's crescent-shaped eyebrows were slightly lowered, and she glanced around blankly, looking for Huo Lang's figure.

Hegu and Sanae were also a little confused. They both frowned, scratched the back of their heads and looked around.

"Hey, where is Big Brother?"

"Yes, you came here with me just now." Sanae pursed her lips and took a breath, feeling very puzzled.

In the end, He Gu took the lead and held Si Ningning's hand, shook it twice, raised his little head and said:

"Si Ningning, I didn't lie to you. My eldest brother really asked us to call you just now. Seriously, if you don't believe me, just ask Sanae."

Sanae nodded, "It's true, Sister Ning, the eldest brother is very formal today, and also very brave and powerful, um... very powerful!"

Sanae used all the idioms she learned.

"Okay, okay, I believe you."

Even though he was a little disappointed, there was indeed no one from Huo Lang at the moment. Si Ningning sighed slightly, touched the heads of the two little ones with one hand and comforted them: "Your eldest brother must have something to do temporarily. Let's go, ignore him for now, you follow."

I’ll go back to the educated youth spot to play for a while, and I’ll go back later.”

"Oh! That's great!"

Hegu couldn't wait to have such an arrangement. He jumped three feet high and screamed "oh oh oh" with joy.

Seeing that her second brother was happy, Sanae also laughed happily along with the "giggle".

Si Ningning breathed a sigh of relief and smiled lightly.

If, as Sanae said, Horang was very formal today, then he should really want to talk to her about getting married.

With such an important matter, it's impossible for Huo Lang to run away. There must be something more important at the moment, right?

Forget it, let's wait and see.

Wait until he comes back.

Si Ningning's throat rolled, and she turned around and glanced around again. Finally, she shouted and walked down the ramp with the two little ones.

And in the meantime, where did Holang go?

On the mountainside trail a hundred meters away from the production team, Huo Lang was walking beside Shan Mantang on the way to the county.

"What exactly happened? Didn't you tell me?"

Huo Lang's eyebrows were arched and lowered. It was obvious that he was not in a good mood at this time. "Are you so anxious all of a sudden?"

Shan Mantang's legs were flying very fast, and while walking quickly, he tilted his head and explained:

"Comrade Huo Lang, I don't know the specific situation. Anyway, it seems that several leaders have come from the north. The director of the building did not disclose anything else, but he just asked me to pick you up and ask you to come over quickly."

"I think there must be something urgent, otherwise I wouldn't be so anxious!"

Huo Lang silently muttered in his heart: Nonsense.

It’s time to make dinner in the countryside soon. If it’s not something urgent, why not rush over here?

Huo Lang exhaled and silently followed Shan Mantang. For some reason, he suddenly felt that his heart was very heavy.
