Now everyone thinks that she owes a debt of more than ten or two hundred thousand yuan and needs to pay it off for more than ten or twenty years. In other words, for such a long time, everyone will not be jealous of their family, but will only pity and sympathize with them.
Soon it was July, and the house Xia Chan wanted was finally built, the fish ponds were dug, and the wall surrounding the swamp was built with mud bricks. The courtyard wall was two meters high, with plugs inserted into it. Broken glass pieces to prevent others from coming in and poisoning fish ponds or poultry.
After all, there are many people who hate others.
In her previous life, she often saw on the news that someone's fish pond was poisoned and their work was in vain for a year, or that the vegetables they worked so hard to grow were about to be sold, but they were drugged and all were destroyed.
As inserting glass pieces was not enough, Xia Chan also planted edible cactus on the wall. Then both the cactus and the cactus fruit will be edible.
The fish raised in the fish pond are caught from small streams. The fish here are cold water fish. In winter, when the temperature is more than ten degrees below zero, the fish will not die. They just grow slowly. Otherwise, how could they catch such fish before? How many fish?
It will take at least several years for the fish in the fish pond to be caught, so for the time being they can catch fish in small streams or other waters. They don’t care about these things now, as long as it is not someone else’s fish pond, they can do it. Catch fish.
There is a large area enclosed around the fish pond. Xia Chan used plastic sheeting and mud bricks to build a greenhouse in half of the open area. In winter, he burned firewood for heating, allowing chickens, ducks and geese to spend the winter safely inside.
The other half is planted with bitter herbs and wild vegetables that chickens, ducks and geese eat, so that they can be fed with grain chaff mixed with bitter herbs or wild vegetables. The poultry that grows up eating this kind of food will be more delicious.
Moreover, in the 21st century, most people cannot buy such poultry. They can only buy it in the countryside, and the price is still very high.
Especially the big goose, you can't buy it for less than a few hundred yuan, and it's just one, which shows how valuable such poultry that grew up eating all kinds of grains are.
In ten or twenty years, even if you raise dozens of geese a year, you will earn more than working in a big city, because in a big city just rent, water, electricity and mobile phone bills all add up to your salary. Half of it, and there are still living expenses. I really can’t save much money in a month.
After raising chickens, ducks and geese here, Xia Chan and his family of four moved here, but they don't live here every day. They still go back to the house halfway up the mountain twice a week because they have to take everyone into the small courtyard. When it comes to hot springs, only she can take everyone in, otherwise everyone can't go in by themselves.
This small courtyard should have recognized its owner, and Xia Chan is the owner of everything.
For Xia Chan, this is quite good. No matter where she goes, she can enter the small courtyard at any time, but it is different for others, who can only be with her.
Xiao Tiantian's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she has entered the third trimester of pregnancy. She will give birth in two months. Xia Chan takes her to the hot springs every now and then, and the temperature inside is not as high as the summer temperature outside. , it’s not that hot, so Xiao Tiantian often lets Xiao Tiantian escape from the heat.
The water used for eating and drinking at home is also fetched from the upper reaches of the Hot Spring River, and the water used in several water tanks is added by Xia Chan.
In August, Jin Pengfei and Su Yu came back with their two children. Their youngest daughter was also one year old. Su Yu was assigned to the county hospital and rested at home for two days before going to report. She is now It's a doctor, not a nurse. On the second day after they came back, Xia Chan arranged for everyone to hold a first-year banquet for the two children. Regardless of whether they are boys or girls, they must be treated accordingly. This can not only let the children know that the family values them, but also It can avoid their misunderstandings about their elders.
Otherwise, when they grow up, they are likely to think that their parents do not love them, and thus make trouble with their parents!
After Su Yu went to the hospital to work, she would live in the hospital dormitory. When she came back from get off work the day before each holiday, Jin Pengfei would earn money with everyone at home and take care of the children together.
After Jin Pengfei came back, Zhou Qizhi let out all the things he could let go, so that he would not be so busy. To say busy, it was not very busy. After all, the three of them worked, and now the work of three people If the work is divided among four people, the number of things to be divided will naturally be even less.
Now their family has a total of five children, including the child that is about to be born in Xiao Tiantian's belly, that will be six. If Xiao Mimi and Xia Bin also have two children in the future, there will be eight children.
Xia Chan had never thought about which one of them she would marry before. She always thought that the four of them would have their own wives and children, and if she got married, she would have about ten children. However, because she was married to Zhou Qizhi is married, so together they have about six to eight children.
When the time comes, she will leave some of the treasures she has prepared for herself to provide for her retirement, and the rest will be shared equally among her children. If they start their own business in the future, they will not be short of money.
When she collected these things, she did not count her own children. These things were intended to be left to her nephews and nieces. Although they were not related by blood, and the children had no relationship with her, we all grew up together. The friendship will never change. As long as this friendship exists, it doesn't matter whether they are biological or not.
Yuan Bingbing's second child was born only one month earlier than Su Yu's second child. Now that Su Yu's second daughter is one year old, Yuan Bingbing's second child is naturally full long ago.
Xia Chan also sent gifts to Yuan Bingbing before, including gifts for both children.
Zhou Junan will soon be a primary school student this year. A child of this age actually understands everything. If he only sends gifts to his younger brother, and not to him, he will definitely feel uncomfortable.
Moreover, Xia Chan is a very fair person to children. Since the younger brother has it, the elder brother must also have it. Even if it is a childish thing, he must prepare a portion for his brother.
When I was studying in Beijing, my brothers bought and set up stalls and bought a lot of toys. Xia Chan knew that everyone had children and the demand for toys would not be small, so she took a lot of toys from them. , wouldn’t it come in handy now?
Now they have five little kids at home, and the house is very lively every day. Once the courtyard door is closed, they can just let them play in the home or yard, and nothing will happen.
Occasionally, they will be allowed to follow Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao to play in the small courtyard, because the scenery inside is more beautiful and there are all kinds of fruits in it!
There are also lychees and longans in this season, and there are fruits and vegetables growing in the yard. The children don’t even want to come out to play.
Xia Chan wanted to build a breeding farm there before, but then she gave up and decided to keep them free-range, because if they were free-range, she wouldn't need to go over to feed them and let them find food on their own as before.
In addition to the species that were already there, Xia Chan also put chickens, ducks and geese in it. Because she was afraid that the two hundred she raised outside would not be enough to sell by the end of the year, she also raised a batch in the small courtyard. The climate in the small courtyard is better, and the poultry raised later are actually larger than the poultry she raised outside first. (End of chapter)
