Chapter 23 Livestock Team
As the old saying goes, listen to others' advice and you will have enough food.
He Tiantian is a child who can listen to others' opinions. She will be good in the future.
Seeing that He Tiantian understood, Grandma Qi San said with relief: "Child, you are still young, your parents are not around, you have to have good and bad minds. Although you live with me, you are not from Qijia Village after all. If you are free tomorrow, you can give some sour dates to other young people in the city. If there is anything, those young people in the city will not isolate you. People, no matter what time, should not leave the group, so that you can advance and retreat."
He Tiantian felt warm in her heart. Grandma Qi San was really a good person.
Her tragedy in her previous life was due to her cowardice, escape, and unwillingness to contact others. Over time, she was invisibly isolated from the team of young people in the city and had no friends, so Qi Jianguo's lies and schemes could succeed step by step.
"Yes." He Tiantian said, "I'll remember it. I will give them some sour dates tomorrow."
Grandma Qi San sat on a small stool and cleaned wild rabbits beside the ditch at the edge of the yard. One was pickled and taken to the utility room to dry, and the other was chopped into small pieces and fried with rabbit meat in the evening.
The rabbit was very fat, and the whole rabbit was chopped into a small pot.
Grandma Qi San lit the fire and taught He Tiantian how to cook rabbit meat. She also put some long beans and stewed them together, making a whole pot.
After the meal was ready, Grandma Qi San served two large plates and put them in the basket. There was no time to eat, so she took He Tiantian to the homes of Village Chief Qi and Zhao Da Jiao. Originally, Grandma Qi San wanted He Tiantian to deliver the food herself, but she was afraid that others would see it and gossip about He Tiantian behind her back, so she changed it to take He Tiantian with her.
Fortunately, Village Chief Qi was in the row in front of Grandma Qi San's house, and Women's Director Zhao Da Jiao was next door to Village Chief Qi's house.
When the village chief heard that this wild rabbit was caught by He Tiantian in the mountains, he smiled and said, "Tian girl is lucky, she is blessed."
"Yes, it's embarrassing to eat the rabbit alone after killing it." Grandma Qi San said, "This child is sensible and young. When arranging work tomorrow, please take care of her, nephew."
Seeing that there were no outsiders at home, the village chief Qi immediately decided and said, "Aunt San, don't worry. My daughter is the same age as this girl and is so sensible. She will naturally take care of her. I will discuss it with others tomorrow."
"That's good." Grandma Qi San said, "Here is another bowl. I have to send it to Ergou. It was not easy for that child to run around for me yesterday."
He Tiantian felt that the older the ginger, the more spicy it is. She lived so much in her previous life, but she didn't do things so comprehensively.
Grandma Qi San didn't say that she asked Zhao Dajiao for help, but thanked Qi Ergou, which made the village chief Qi feel very useful.
At Zhao Da Jiao's place, Grandma Qi San also made a request, and Zhao Da Jiao immediately promised to take care of He Tiantian and arrange light work for her.
After sending the two families, Grandma Qi San and He Tiantian went home to eat.
Grandma Qi San's teeth are not good, but the rabbit meat has been stewed in the pot for a long time, and it has been stewed and is very chewy. The two of them were full and there was still some left. Grandma Qi San asked He Tiantian to put more salt in it, and stir-fry some beans together tomorrow morning, and it can still be eaten.
At this time, there is no habit of not eating leftovers or throwing away leftovers.
The next morning, He Tiantian had breakfast, sent Grandma Qi San to the place where she worked, and went to the village branch.
On the way there, He Tiantian met Huang Jingli, Lin Xiaoru, and Li Mingkai.
"Tiantian, are you used to it?" Huang Jingli asked, "If you are not used to living in a fellow villager's home, you can come back and squeeze in with us."
He Tiantian knew that they were just talking and not sincere, but she still showed gratitude on her face and said with a smile: "Thank you, Sister Jingli, I am used to living in Grandma Qi's home, so I don't have to squeeze in with you. It's so hot, I have to work during the day, and I can't sleep well at night, that's not good."
Lin Xiaoru covered her face with both hands, not wanting to be exposed to the sun, and said: "Yes, it's really hot, there are many mosquitoes, and I don't know what kind of work will be assigned to us."
"Now is not the busy farming season, so I guess there won't be too much work." He Tiantian said, weeding, fertilizing, and catching insects in the rice and corn in the fields.
"I hope so." Huang Jingli said, "By the way, do you know? Li Mingkai can play the accordion. Come over tonight and listen to it together."
"Accordion, it's amazing." He Tiantian pretended to praise. In his previous life, Li Mingkai used that broken accordion to attract many young girls in the village and young women in the city. In the end, in order not to work, he married Qi Xiaoyan, the daughter of the village chief. At least he didn't have to do heavy work and could have enough food. Later, when he heard that he could return to the city, Li Mingkai wanted to go back several times, but was suppressed by the village chief Qi. Unexpectedly, Li Mingkai was admitted to university, but he still left the countryside and abandoned Qi Xiaoyan.
Hearing others praise, Li Mingkai was proud. As long as he played the piano, no one disliked him.
Soon they arrived at the village branch. The village secretary Qi Village Chief, the village accountant Qi Shuli, the director of the Women's Federation Zhao Dajiao, and the two village captains, the five important people in Qijia Village were here.
"Have a seat. Based on the village's research, we have made the following arrangements." Village Chief Qi read from a red leather notebook, "Huang Jingli and Lin Xiaoru will join the weeding and insect catching team. Li Mingkai will join the canal cleaning team, and He Tiantian will join the animal husbandry team. She will not only feed the animals, but also clean the animal husbandry team every day."
Huang Jingli and Lin Xiaoru saw that several other young people in the city had to go to the fields to pull weeds and weed at dawn. Their bodies were cut by corn leaves. It was hot, and it was not an easy job.
As for Li Mingkai's cleaning of the canal, it was not an easy job. He Tiantian's job was even dirtier. She was with those dirty things all day long. It was not only dirty, but also tiring.
When He Tiantian heard about the animal husbandry team, she was very happy. The animal husbandry team was at the foot of the mountain. If she was herding sheep or cattle, she could go up the mountain.
With the snake king, He Tian was not afraid of encountering powerful animals in the mountains, and she could often have the opportunity to improve her meals.
"Do you have any opinions?" Qi Shuli said, "You can raise your opinions now. If you don't have any opinions, then let's go to the fields to work now."
They said that it had been discussed by the organization, so what if they had any opinions.
"No." Several people answered. Anyway, they had to work. With the examples of other young people in the city, they didn't dare to be arrogant and not work. They heard from other young people in the city that those young people in the city were lazy in the past, and the food they were allocated was not enough to eat. Those who worked hard got more food. In order not to go hungry, they also had to work hard.
"Okay. We will take you there separately." Village Chief Qi said. He took Li Mingkai to the place where the canal was repaired, and the accountant Qi Shuli took Huang Jingli and Lin Xiaoru to the weeding team.
Zhao Dajiao took He Tiantian to the animal husbandry team. When he saw that the people had gone far away, he whispered: "You may think that the animal husbandry team is very dirty, but it is not. There are two people there, raising ten pigs, four cows, and a few goats. Those heavy work are done by others. You just need to herd the sheep well and raise the six sheep well, that's all."
