Back to 78: My Leisurely Country Life

As for the big guy in the tree hole, He Qiang used his ability to accelerate the growth of plants and directly trapped it out.

The big guy, weighing more than ten pounds, was sleeping when he was suddenly attacked and tied up tightly. He wanted to struggle but it was too late.

As it was dragged out of the tree hole by the plants, He Qiang saw the true appearance of this big guy.

The hair was brown and yellow, with black and white stripes on the face. The whole head was a bit similar to the structure of a bull terrier. In addition to being chubby and round, it was really a bit dog-like.

"This, looks like a badger, right?"

He Qiang watched the fat guy struggling desperately, his fat body shaking.

Obviously, this badger had plenty of oil and water, and was well-fed.

It looked so fat, I'm afraid the weasel is in danger.

"Stir-fry, braise and grill, weasel, oh weasel, this is all I can do for you!"

Since I was able to avenge the weasel, it must be smiling in its grave.

Taking out the knife from the backpack, He Qiang cut the badger's throat with one cut, ending the badger's sinful life. He was too lazy to deal with the badger, so after bleeding it a little, he threw it into the backpack.

After the mare had eaten its fill, He Qiang collected more than ten pounds of tender branches and put them in the backpack, and then took the mare down the mountain.

The villagers along the way now saw He Qiang, and they all came to greet him enthusiastically.

Seeing that he had caught another big one today, they all praised He Qiang for his ability.

"Qiangwaer is really amazing. He moves things home every day."

"There are so many things on the mountain now. Oh, this furry dog is so big, it must weigh more than ten pounds!"

"It's incredible."

He Qiang exchanged a few polite words with the villagers, and then led the mare around the road to the fields.

"Hey, why is there no one here?"

He Qiang didn't see He Yongjun, so he thought about it and led the mare to the fish pond.

When he got there, he saw He Yongjun holding a specially made extended hand net to fish for floating algae in the fish pond.

"Dad."

He Qiang called from afar.

He Yongjun saw He Qiang coming and shouted to him,"You are here just in time, come and pack your things."

He Qiang led the mare over and found that He Yongjun had scooped up a small basket of floating

"Our pond is also strange, the floats grow much faster than usual."

He Yongjun complained while busying himself.

In fact, if He Yongjun didn't care, He Qiang would also control the number of floats.

But He Yongjun was so diligent that He Qiang didn't have a chance to do anything.

These floats are food for many aquatic organisms, and only a part of them are on the water surface. When they reproduce normally, they will absorb a lot of oxygen, which will cause the fish in the pond to lack oxygen.

But He Qiang has"irrigated" these algae, so they are not as threatening to the fish in the pond as they should be.

""Dad, I'll usually do this. You're busy in the fields every day, and I can come and clean up when I'm free."

He Qiang advised.

He Yongjun muttered,"I can still do it. The fish fry in this pond are precious. If they die, we'll lose money. The float has risen sharply, and the fish fry might be suffocated to death if we're not careful."

To put it bluntly, I still don't believe He Qiang can be so diligent...

He Qiang rolled his eyes, thought about it and decided not to argue about it.

It's not easy to change his image in front of his old father, so let him help if he wants to. At worst, he can lead the mare to help deliver the goods every day.’

"Will the chickens and ducks at home eat it?"

He Qiang asked his old father, pointing at the float in the basket.

At this point, He Yongjun was a little happy again:"Although this float is troublesome to clean up, don't say that the chickens and ducks at home have been eating duckweed recently, and they have laid a lot more eggs." The family already has a chicken and a duck that are almost 2 years old.

The egg laying has been gradually decreasing. On average, the number of eggs laid per day is less than one.

But after eating this duckweed, not only can the old chickens lay an egg every day, but the young hens can lay two or even three eggs a day!

And the eggs are big and round, which makes old lady He very happy.

He Qiang only paid attention to eating these days, but he didn't expect that the chickens at home would produce so much more.

No wonder He Yongjun came to catch the float every day but never complained to him. It seems that this float has such great benefits.

"You have caught at least several kilograms. Can't the chickens and ducks at home eat them all? Isn't it a waste to feed the pigs?"

He Qiang asked He Yongjun.

He Yongjun rolled his eyes and said,"The pigs are used to complete the task. There is no profit in feeding them. Can I feed them with floating food?"

Although everyone yearns for a better life these days, there are some obstacles that cannot be overcome.

The household contract does not mean that good days have arrived.

Paying public grain and live pigs are dead regulations, and even the team dare not fail to implement this matter.

For a family like He Qiang, they are not happy with the purchase price of live pigs given by the above.

So the task pigs are not willing to feed even a kilogram of grain more.

Floating food is not worthy of the task pigs!

Feed more chickens and ducks, and it is more cost-effective to exchange eggs for money in the village market than pork.

It's not that the people are cunning, but the purchase price given by the state is too low!

The people don't understand what the scissors gap between workers and peasants is, they only know what is cost-effective and what is not.

Seeing that his old father was not stupid, He Qiang asked,"Then did you get more to feed the bamboo rats? That thing doesn't eat this."

"You kid, you don't even remember that you have relatives!"

He Yongjun said unhappily:"Your uncle and second uncle helped our family a lot when they were young. Didn't I give them all the extra money I made?"

Hearing this, He Qiang suddenly realized, and then blushed and said:"Hey, isn't this all about our family?"

He Yongjun did not criticize He Qiang's"family-oriented" mentality, but said earnestly:"Relatives should help each other! In this way, if you have trouble in the future, someone will come to help you."

He Qiang did not refute He Yongjun's words.

The indifferent relationship between relatives in later generations is completely impossible to understand the essence of rural kinship. After all, most people in later generations work as migrant workers and do not understand the importance of manpower in rural life.

He Qiang patted his chest and assured:"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely think of my uncle and second uncle when I have the chance. I am thinking about making our family's life better first, so that I can have the spare energy to help my uncle and them!"
