After Chen Xi said this, he held the bucket and said to everyone: "Please give me a break, I will feed the pigs first."
Everyone quickly got out of the way, and then stared at the little red bucket he was carrying but wondered:
“Do pigs only eat this much in one meal? Or do they feed piglets?”
Lao Song’s family has raised quite a few pigs this year. In their pen, Jia Xiangxiang has two big pigs, one male and one female. He bought six piglets, and the big white pig is pregnant...
Chen Xi and Chen Chi have returned from school and have a arduous task!
At this moment, he smiled and explained: "This is not for those free-range pigs. There is a big pig that is pregnant. This is food prepared for it."
“Don’t eat too much as a snack.”
Pregnant sow? !
Everyone was surprised: "Can you see it? We haven't seen it yet."
Chen Xi smiled heartily, but her refusal was firm: "It's not convenient after all, she is pregnant. There are too many people to scare the big pig."
“If you want to see the pigs, the big pigs and the little pigs are all strolling back and forth on the river beach. They are very friendly, so feel free to look at them.”
I thought for a while and then pointed to the corner: "There is a shoe brush over there. Take the shoe brush and shout "luoluo", and the pigs will come over."
“Take a shoe brush to brush their fur and their whole body. They love this especially.”
This activity is really loved by all pigs, but the river beach is too busy and not every pig can enjoy it every day. Now there are ten or twenty people here in Wuyangyang. Chen Xi has been influenced by it in the old Song family, and he will also Smart use of labor.
So I spoke very carefully at this moment: "They have rough skin and thick flesh, and the softness of that shoe brush is just right. They will lie down as soon as they are brushed, and they will turn over when patted on the back."
“They are also clean. Although they may be stained with grass, leaves, mud and the like, the sun warms them up at noon every day, so they all swim and bathe in the river..."
Pigs are actually smart and love to be clean. They are also happy to move from the pig pen in the back mountain to the vast riverbank with water and grassland.
The daily life arrangements are very good.
Sure enough!
As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately looked back at the corner eagerly, then stood up and looked at the pigs with different physiques in the herd of cattle and sheep. They immediately became energetic!
Seeing them swarming back to get their shoes brushed, Chen Xi smiled and then carried the bucket into the pigsty nearby.
Compared to the spacious indoor cattle and sheep pens, the pig pens were built later and are much smaller. But that's only relatively speaking. At least when Chen Xi entered, he always felt spacious.
The big white pig is two months pregnant and will probably give birth in more than thirty days, but it may be because she is pregnant too much, so she doesn't like to move much recently.
No, other pigs are wandering around the field and like to sleep in the pig pen outside, but it is a pig that comes back indoors, full of straw, sunlight shining through...and occasional snacks!
Chai Zai is so comfortable!
There is also a wild boar at home that is also a boar. Originally, it could be bred without Xiangxiang, but this wild boar was changed to domesticated. After seeing it before, Professor Song suggested that breeding should be arranged after 12 to 15 months.
Now, the big white pig is pregnant with Xiangxiang’s baby!
At this moment, when he saw Chen Xi coming, his fat body quickly lifted up from the straw pile, and then he hummed and came to the bucket, shouting loudly for him to hurry up and serve the meal.
Every time he saw this begging for food, Chen Xi felt that it was just pretending to lie still.
Chen Xi took this opportunity to check his physique. It was all done well, and the big white pig didn't resist at all. After eating just a small bucket of extra food and boasting about it for a few bites, the big white pig opened the door with satisfaction and strolled out for a walk.
Chen Xi then went to check whether the straw was damp and rotten. He also cleaned the pig pen twice and rinsed the pig trough with water before carrying the bucket back.
On the way, he saw five or six newcomers surrounding two or three pigs, working diligently with shoe brushes, which made the pigs groan and lie down, and he couldn't help but laugh again.
Living here, I feel really comfortable, and my heart is more rejoicing.
…
The older brother is busy, and the younger brother is not idle either.
Chen Chi’s task today is to pick up duck and goose eggs.
At first the ducks were pretty well-behaved, although at first they couldn't help but lay eggs everywhere. They could be found everywhere in the water, in the reeds, on the shore... they were everywhere.
But after Dabai’s education, everyone became quite honest.
In addition, we bought a new batch of ducklings this year, big and small, wagging their buttocks and wandering to the river every day. Everything is still in order, and the eggs are laid in fixed places.
But before, Little Ten and Little Eleven sneaked over to take a look, surprising them, so much so that now they were back to their old ways. Not many duck eggs were seen in the nest for two consecutive days, and Chen Xi knew something was wrong.
No, after finishing his work at noon, Chen Chi's tasks were arranged.
Zhang Wang’s family was running a machine to stir the fermented manure. The sealed lid blocked it, so the smell was not obvious, but it was obviously not a tiring job, so he still had time to comment on Chen Xi’s arrangement:
“It’s a good job to leave this job to Da Chi. It looks like he loves doing it.”
"That's not true," Chen Xi also laughed: "He is hunting for treasure! He is probably more meticulous than the two of us."
It was only a short while later, and the old man saw that he had already sent back another basket.
Chen Xi also stepped forward and asked, "Where did you pick up these duck eggs?"
Light cyan oval duck eggs are piled one by one in a small basket. They are large and well-proportioned. They are good eggs at first glance.
What a pity it would be if this were broken!
Chen Chi pointed forward: "I will listen to my brother and pick it up on the shore first."
"Okay," Chen Xi understood, and then put the duck eggs aside: "Bring them to Qiao Qiao when you eat later. These can be used to pickle the salted duck eggs."
“Be careful when looking at the reed swamps. If they are not duck eggs, don’t pick them up. They may be the eggs of other wild ducks and wild birds.”
It is said that there is another Kunichi, but he has not studied ducks or anything, and rarely has the opportunity to stand by the river and admire it slowly, so he doesn’t know which one it is at the moment.
Chen Chi nodded. He was not impatient at all with Chen Xi's repeated instructions. Instead, he took the basket and asked, "Then if you pick it up in the water, do you put it away alone?"
"Yeah," Chen Xi nodded: "Put it alone. Eggs soaked in water are easy to break, so you have to take them back to Lao Song's house quickly. After they are made into salted duck eggs, you can only eat them by yourself."
Otherwise, it would be troublesome if something goes bad when sold.
Chen Chi nodded, and then took back the basket: "Brother, don't worry! I'm a treasure hunter! I'm a treasure hunter, and my name is Piggy Bear!"
Chen Xi couldn’t laugh or cry: What kind of Nezha would it take to raise such a big piggy bear?
But he didn’t say anything, he just waved his hand: “Go quickly, it’s best to finish picking it up today, otherwise it will get worse tomorrow.” (End of Chapter)
