When they got home, Wulan asked about the money in detail. Every time Song Tan reported an item, the veins on her forehead would jump.
Song Tan was so nervous that she felt anxious: She didn't want to be a mama's boy, but there was nothing she could do!
At this time, the strategy of "Besiege Wei to Save Zhao" was needed: "Mom, I want to raise some pigs, is that okay with you?"
The price of pork is fluctuating nowadays, but no matter what the price is, farmers have no trouble selling pigs, so it stands to reason that it is reasonable to raise them.
“How many?”
Wu Lan snorted coldly, thinking that her daughter was really an unsophisticated person: "Pork is expensive now, and so are piglets, hundreds of yuan each. I have to build a stove to cook pig food for them when I get home, and it's too cold in this weather, so I have to buy bran, rice bran, and corn kernels..."
Not to mention anything else, the pigs will cry when they are hungry, and we have to build a pigpen with a few pigs crying... and we still feel that there is not enough work in the fields!
Song Tan looked like he wanted to fly before he could even walk. In Ulan's eyes, he was very unreliable.
"Besides, even if you have a lot of money, fur doesn't count. What if you get sick..."
But Song Tan is greedy!
She can practice now. If nothing else, it can at least improve the quality of her food. Pork might be so delicious!
She said, "Mom, raising pigs at home is safe and tasty. The ones bought outside are not as delicious as when I was a child. And pork is so expensive, raising them at home can make some money..."
"When I kill a pig, I stew a pig-killing dish, fry some oil residue, and stew cabbage to make dumplings. How delicious!"
That is, fresh pork, so delicious!
As a qualified farmer who had raised pigs for many years and only stopped in recent years, Song Sancheng was obviously a little greedy. At this moment, he completely forgot his refusal and joined in the conversation:
"Yes, yes, why not raise one..."
Song Qiao, who was watching Peppa Pig on her phone, suddenly looked up and said, "Mom, you are my pig mother!"
"Sister, can I live with Paige?"
Wulan quickly took a deep breath - oh, this silly son, so worrying!
Thinking about how much money she would have to spend on her silly son's retirement, and how pork was really expensive these days, she gritted her teeth and said:
"keep!"
"The village doesn't allow people to raise pigs outside their houses, so we can just secretly build a pig pen behind our house. Our house is visible only when we turn in from the fork in the road, so it doesn't affect the appearance. The only difference is that the pig pen is a little small, and can only hold two pigs at most."
How can that be? !
The pig pen in the countryside is a small square yard with a shed in the corner, a pool for manure, and then a small world for the pigs to move around...
Their house is a bungalow, and the bedroom window faces the back mountain. If they build a pigpen here, the smell will be... unbelievable!
Song Tan quickly said, "Make a wire fence or something to enclose a part of the back hillside, raise a few more pigs and let them run around freely in the hills."
Domestic pigs are not that destructive, so just fence them off and the hillside is big enough for them to do whatever they want.
"Besides, the back mountain is close, so we can hear any movement."
This time, even Song Sancheng looked at Song Tan in disbelief: Who raises pigs like this
That white pig running all over the hillside, not to mention whether it would fall or get hurt, or be attacked by snakes, insects, rats, ants, etc., just think about that pig running all over the hillside, how can it gain weight?!
"Don't want white pigs, let's go for black pigs! They're more lively and don't grow as much meat, but they're more expensive and tastier!"
Just as she was about to object again, she saw Song Tan grab Wu Lan's hand:
"Mom, please let me try! I really have a plan!"
Then he looked at Song Sancheng: "Dad, I have always been obedient since I was a child. Just this time, listen to me, okay?"
Silence spread in the room.
After a long while, Song Qiao suddenly whispered, "Just listen to me, okay?"
Song Tan almost laughed out loud!
Wulan also laughed angrily: "Okay, I've got two debt collectors! They'll listen to you and do whatever you say!"
He turned around and snorted: "I'll call and ask what the price is this year! Lao Song, go clean up the back mountain!"
After she left, Song Sancheng added, "Tan Tan, you need to raise two big dogs to watch over the pigs on the mountain, otherwise you won't be able to keep watch."
It's not just about guarding against weasels, wild dogs and the like, but mainly about guarding against people.
Don’t think that the village is peaceful. In the early years, the cabbages that everyone had in the fields were still stolen by some people!
There was another incident in the neighboring village a few years ago. There was a conflict over a pumpkin, and then someone poisoned several of the neighbor’s pigs to death!
The main purpose of raising a dog is that if there is any disturbance, they can hear it at home and it is safe!
Song Tan was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Dad, we already have dogs and we raise pigs in the mountains, how about raising some chickens and ducks?"
The ducks are all alone, so it doesn't take much effort to let them go to the front pond to play every day... right
Song Tan thought, I finally convinced my parents, if I don't do it all at once, it will be troublesome if I have to do it bit by bit later!
Song Sancheng:!!!
How come there are pigs and dogs when the character hasn’t even been written yet
Song Sancheng thought about how much his daughter spent today, and the ten-dollar pack of Dihao cigarettes in his hand seemed expensive. He groaned for a long time before sighing:
"You are old enough, do whatever you want. While we can still move, we can support you even if we lose money."
"There's just one thing. You have your own money, plus the 60,000 yuan we can take out. You are not allowed to borrow any money! Not even a cent!"
After saying that, he sighed again: "Otherwise I'm afraid you'll have to pay for it, and I, your dad, won't even be able to afford a cigarette."
Song Tan sighed, "It's not easy for me, Dad. Why don't you quit smoking? If you save a hundred or two hundred a month, you can save two thousand yuan for me in a year!"
She had long wanted Song Sancheng to stop smoking, but she had tried for many years without success - not to mention anything else, her grandfather had smoked all his life and was diagnosed with lung problems, but had he quit
No!
People want cigarettes more than their lives!
Same thing with her dad.
Song Sancheng loves his daughter, but... but this cigarette...
He whispered, "I only smoke half a pack a day. Sometimes when I'm really tired from work, I smoke one to relax..."
After he said this, Song Tan was helpless.
But you definitely have to quit smoking!
Song Tan thought for a while and said, "Dad, you should save more money and buy a pack of cigarettes every three days. That way, one hundred yuan a month is suitable!"
Everything else is fine, except this one.
Song Sancheng glared at him, "What do you mean by appropriate? Why do I need you to support me? Look at your grandfather, he still smokes dry tobacco to save money! Why don't you say which one is more harmful?"
Song Tan thought to himself that you are all the same, no matter whether it is dry tobacco or cigarettes, how can they be good things
She kept this in mind and went back to look for the snacks she had bought in town:
"I'm going to see my grandparents."
"Qiao Qiao, come with me!"
Song Sancheng nodded: "Go ahead, they are not in good spirits now... they are old."
Then he instructed:
"If your grandparents give snacks to Qiao Qiao, you have to watch them. You can take them, but you can't eat them!"
Qiao Qiao raised his head when he heard the word "snacks": "I want to eat..."
"No!" Song Sancheng refused: "You are so tight on food. Every year you have new food, but every year you eat the old food. The food you gave me last time has expired for more than half a year. I can't eat it!"
