Quick Wear: I and the Female Match Share the Battle Shirt

Chapter 177: Female Supporting Character in the Period Literature (12)

After singing the last high note of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in his mind, Lu Changqing grabbed the team leader, and the two sat in the shade of the warehouse to discuss the issue of fencing off the land and building a fence.

It was mentioned before that there was a small bamboo forest on the other side of the canal. Lu Changqing meant that the bamboo forest should not be cut down, but should be enclosed in the chicken farm. This way, the chickens would have a cool place to rest on hot days.

The captain asked, "Where should we build the chicken coop? We can't have people catch them one by one and bring them to the warehouse every night, right?"

This is too unrealistic. Lu Changqing thought about the size of the open space and said, "Let's build it next to the bamboo forest, but we have to build two thatched houses, one for keeping chickens at night and the other for living."

Someone must watch over so many chickens, otherwise they will be robbed at night.

The captain frowned, "Doesn't that mean we still have to arrange for people to take turns guarding every night?"

Lu Changqing shook his head. "No need to arrange for anyone else. I can guard it alone."

The captain disagreed, "How can we let a girl like you live there forever?"

Lu Changqing clenched his fist and raised it to his chest, his eyes firm, "D's daughter can't do it!"

Captain:...

Previously, due to the great steel-making campaign, the hills in the village had become bald. After more than ten years of recovery, some sparse hairs have grown on the bald heads. Now Lu Changqing is going to lead the members to pull out a few hairs.

Changlin Township has an obvious subtropical monsoon climate. At the beginning, the members grew crops on the treeless hillsides, but when the summer rains came heavily, the soil on the hillsides began to slide down.

When the members of the cooperative saw that there was no way to cultivate the land, they just left it idle. Over time, these sloping lands became idle and overgrown with white grass and other weeds.

Although these weeds provided villagers with a lot of firewood in the winter, Lu Changqing still felt it was a pity to leave these slopes uncultivated.

While using a wooden hammer to hammer the wooden stakes for the chicken fence, Lu Changqing was wondering whether he should encourage the village chief to buy some fruit trees to plant.

Lu Changqing told the team leader about the tree planting plan. The team leader just waved his hands and said, "Do you think we haven't thought about it? The second team next door has already experimented with it. The plums they planted in their village are not only small, but also very sour. They can only be used to feed pigs."

Lu Changqing was speechless. If sour crops didn’t work, he could just grow sweet ones, such as yellow peaches. Maybe he could even open a cannery in the future.

Moreover, the growing period of yellow peaches is relatively short. It will bear fruit 3-4 years after planting and reach normal yield in about six years.

After listening to Lu Changqing's rant, the team leader asked, "Can you plant?"

Lu Changqing: …

Well, she really doesn’t know how to do this, but it doesn’t matter, she has an omnipotent system, and she can ask her to help find some agricultural videos on growing yellow peaches to study.

"Besides, yellow peach seedlings are hard to find in my county. They are not popular here."

Lu Changqing encouraged the captain and said, "Why don't you ask Lu Zqing? He is well-informed and may know where to get it."

"Isn't it bad to bother him all the time?"

Lu Changqing frowned, banged his palm with the gavel, and said in a serious and disapproving manner: "D let us educated youth go to the countryside to promote urban-rural exchanges and strengthen urban and rural development, didn't it? We go to the countryside to help build the rural economy. This is clearly our job content. How can it become a problem?"

The captain thought about it and felt that what Lu Changqing said made sense. "Then I'll go ask later."

"Don't delay. Go now. Find seedlings early and plant them early. There are so many barren slopes on the mountain. It seems like a waste."

After hearing this, the captain ran away happily. The system looked at the captain's back and said to Lu Changqing: "Changqing, you are more like the captain than he is now. He is just like a eunuch running errands for you. He will do whatever you ask him to do."

Lu Changqing swung the mallet and banged the wooden stake, saying, "That's because everything I did was good for him. Otherwise, don't you think he would be so active?"

Lu Changqing originally planned to cut bamboo in the village to make a chicken fence, but Lu Shaofeng got a large ball of plastic breeding net from somewhere, so he didn't need a chicken fence.

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. It only took two days to build the chicken coop and the thatched hut where Lu Changqing lived.

Because he didn't want to smell chicken shit 24 hours a day, Lu Changqing built his thatched hut in an upwind location, about three or four meters away from the chicken coop.

The chicks were brought back by the team leader and Lu Shaofeng from another production team. They had been ordered in advance, and there were not many, only more than 200 this time.

Lu Changqing originally wanted to start the previous breeding staff selection competition, but was stopped by the team leader.

The first batch of chicks were particularly precious, so he asked Lu Changqing to come first, and then bring up the issue of personnel selection when the chickens were a little bigger.

Once the chickens arrive, it’s time to start raising earthworms.

Lu Changqing found a vacant space on the other side of the bamboo forest from the chicken coop, and surrounded it with a fence for fear that the chickens would come over and dig up the soil to eat the immature earthworms.

Then he mixed the cow dung from the village cowshed with mud to make fertilizer, and put some earthworms caught from the county garbage station in it. He covered it with thatch to block out light and keep it moist, and sprinkled water every one or two days to keep the soil moist.

The chicks are still small and are mainly fed with wheat bran and rice bran that the team leader brings back from the grain station.

In order to prevent chicken plague, Lu Changqing gave the chicks cooled boiled water to drink, and of course he also added some medicine from the mall.

With these chicks, Lu Changqing naturally doesn't have to go to the fields anymore.

At night, Lu Changqing let Xiaoxue out and asked her to help watch the room where the chickens were kept and wake her up if there was a thief.

Xiaoxue was unhappy. She looked at Lu Changqing with resentful eyes and complained, "You bad woman, you own the Koukou Ranch, so you treat me like a guard dog, right?"

Lu Changqing gave an awkward but polite smile, "No, you're overthinking it."

These days are the time to harvest day lilies, and the village is busy again.

Lu Changqing sat in the bamboo forest, watching the chickens and teaching the three Xiaocao sisters how to write.

The fourth child, Xiaoshui, is too young, having just turned three years old. He can’t sit still at all, and sits on the edge, playing with the mud on the ground.

There were children in the village who went to the primary school in the neighboring village. Xiaocao, the eldest of the four sisters, also went there for half a year, but was eventually called back by her family.

"If I continue to go to school, there will be no one at home to help take care of my sisters."

This is what Xiaocao said.

Lu Changqing knew that this was one of the reasons. The bigger reason was that the family favored boys over girls. In addition, Xiaocao was a daughter, and in the eyes of her family, daughters did not have to be so successful.

There are boys in the village who do not go to school, but there are more girls who do not go to school.

Lu Changqing paused the writing stick in her hand. How could she just think about making the villagers rich? She should also focus on the children's education.
