Chapter 892 892 The House Is Built

Chapter 892 892. The house is built

Professor Song was originally scheduled to come back in mid-November, but before he could come back with his students and their families, it was already December.

The temperature this winter is really cold, and every drop in temperature comes unexpectedly and takes a sharp turn.

In December, when this warm winter is becoming more and more common, the first snow may not have fallen in previous years, but in Yunqiao Village, the voices of Dabai and Gomei scolding each other early in the morning can even penetrate several hills.

Without him, the pond is frozen.

The ducks went to the pond as a routine in groups. The withered yellow grass blades had the cool crisp feeling of frost. When they stepped on it with the soles of their feet, the broken pieces on the ground gradually melted into the soil.

The ducks stared at the pond, helplessly watching Dabai step on the ice and then turn around, and they couldn't help but feel confused.

It's just...it's frozen, what else can they play with during the day?

The pond was empty, and the fishermen couldn't stand the sharp drop in temperature. As early as yesterday when there were signs on the ice, I rushed home to update my equipment and recharge my batteries.

The ducks looked around blankly, and finally swung their paws and returned to the duck shed, squeezing together and quacking, which was really noisy.

Qiaoqiao came over with a bucket to feed the ducks. His nose and ears were all red from the cold, but he must be a child who is not afraid of the cold. He decided not to wear a hat anyway!

——You are already wearing long johns, what kind of hat do you need to wear?

When I got back, I chirped to Song Tan: "Sister, is the duck shed too small? Can we build a new, bigger one for them next year?"

Then he started to worry again: "Is it so cold? They can't go out to play. Will they stop laying eggs if they are unhappy?"

Originally, the number of duck eggs became less and less after the temperature dropped, but now I can’t pick up more than 20 a day. It’s not summer, and there are many stores in autumn. Boss Chang came over to cry for a while.

Who knows? As a serious restaurant owner, the biggest problem he faces every day is not the lack of customers, but the lack of food.

Is this reasonable?

The owner of Youran Vegetable Garden next door, his brother-in-law, the mistress's brother-in-law, and the waiters sat together in the empty and lonely lobby. Seeing that the opposite side became busy again early in the morning, he was so sad that he almost bit his handkerchief!

And here Song Tan also had a plan: "If you are free today, go and talk to Brother Wu Lei about disinfection first. In two days, you can take Dabai and Duck directly to the pasture."

It was originally planned to expand the scale of raising ducks in the future, and there would be a stove to keep the cattle and sheep warm in winter - of course the temperature would not be too high, otherwise wouldn't it become a greenhouse for raising cattle?

But with just a little improvement, the duck shed next door will be much better than the pond.

Moreover, some more will be hatched in the spring.

Qiao Qiao nodded and couldn't help but feel happy: "Then will they continue to lay eggs there? Will they lay eggs in the reeds? Will they be difficult to find?"

He talks about difficulties, but his face is full of longing——

After all, collecting duck eggs is really fun!

Song Tan:......

Why do children have so many questions? She was tired of answering.

And Qiaoqiao didn't care if he didn't get an answer.

Even though he was wet with rain and dew, he quickly thought of another question:

"What about the chickens? Where are the pigs? Can't they live by the river?"

"No," Song Tan said mercilessly, "Chickens are suitable for the mountains. Next year we will expand the scale and run all over the mountains and plains behind us."

Chickens love to rake the ground. If there is a vegetable patch or pasture where they play, they will want to dig out every grass seed and vegetable leaf!

There is also pasture growing by the river, but we can't ask them to go there and dig all over it.

The back mountain is full of trees and shrubs. If the surrounding area is larger, there will be more than enough space.

Pigs can be raised anywhere, but the current number of pigs raised on the pasture is just right. If there are more, it will be a little bit worse——

Let's wait until the mountains on both sides have finished talking and the sheep are running up the mountain. The space will be free and we can discuss the pig pen.

When Song Tan said this, he looked at the white air in front of him and sighed and frowned: "It must be very cold this winter - Qiao Qiao, do you know Brother Yanping who sells clothes? How many can the whole family order?" Come and wear ten sets of jackets, I'll pay for them."

"Oh, by the way, buy more. Master Jiang and Professor Song's family members will also be prepared later."

Everyone has down jackets, so she didn’t mention them. In the village, a jacket is more practical for working in winter...and this thing has a thermal layer, so it can be worn in spring, autumn and winter...

Cheap and affordable!

…

She was planning this, and she didn't know if it was a coincidence. Zhang Yanping, who was huddled in Song Youde's new house, said "ouch" and was hit by a chestnut that exploded on the stove table.

Next to him, Xin Jun couldn't help but laugh, and slowly turned over the sweet potatoes on the stove: "I told you to open the chestnuts wider, you must be lazy...what? That one just tasted delicious, right?"

Zhang Yanping picked up the chestnuts and said sadly: "I opened the shells, but if you can, don't eat them!"

At the same time, he sighed again: "Everything about the big villa is good, but it lacks a stove and it always feels like it's not flavorful enough."

I understand, this means having enough to eat, drink, wear, and nothing to do, and I’m starting to pay attention to the pastoral and rural feelings.

Xin Jun exposed him directly: "But the room next to the kitchen is specially used for warming up by the fire!"

Since the beginning of winter, the stove has not been turned off during the day, and something is always stewed on it - among other things, the cauldron of meat and bones for the dogs has been moved from the kitchen to this room.

This is a small room that was specially set aside when the house was built, considering that the villagers would come to visit and the living room of the villa was too big to chat about.

The area is not large, only 30 square meters, but there are tables, chairs, snacks, fruits, and a large iron stove in the middle, with a pipe running across the top——

As long as the fire is lit every morning, the room will quickly warm up in less than ten minutes, making it clean and comfortable. Aunt Lianhua now does all her work in this room.

The reason why Zhang Yanping came to Song Youde's new house was because Lao Xu handed over the room the day before yesterday, but the house was as empty as a dormitory on the mountain.

So Song Tan's contact sent furniture and appliances, and someone had to be here waiting for delivery and installation!

By the way, I took a bag of chestnuts from the freezer, and got some sweet potatoes from the cellar... isn't this just a matter of passing by!

And here, Song Youde also received a call from his eldest daughter Hongmei:

"Dad, when the house was built, you didn't even invite us to buy wine? You didn't even tell me... Oops! If I had known, I would have bought a refrigerator and air conditioner during Double Eleven! Even though the current activities are fake, it can still be hundreds of dollars cheaper. Ten yuan is enough for our family to eat several meals..."

The aunt felt upset when she thought about the bargain she didn't find. But after thinking about it again, after the old man built his new house and Tantan had it all covered, she couldn't just buy the air conditioner, refrigerator and washing machine, right?

So he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll buy you another TV!"

Oh my God, it’s worth tens of thousands of dollars!

The aunt suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Update one. The magic of time! I know you have been wanting to pull the pig's leg for a long time...the pig will be killed a few days before the New Year!
