Free Web NovelChapter 1164: Chapter 1164: Arrangements
They are all made of thickened plastic sheeting, which provides better insulation.
The older folks already prepared straw mats long ago; the wisdom of the people is endless. The straw mats are hung right by the window, pulled down at night, and rolled up during the day.
Also, you need to light a fire every day when it’s cold so that the temperature in the henhouse can be maintained at around fifteen degrees, which is just right and suitable for hens to lay eggs.
It took three days of work here to finally get it done.
Jiang Xinyu bought ten jin of eggs, left half at home, and took the rest to Lu Tiezhu’s house. She had pickled a lot of salted eggs during the summer, and since not much salt was added, they taste just right now.
Du Fengying is seven months pregnant now, and because of her age, she has some swelling. However, after a check-up at the hospital, her health was fine,
but Lu Tiezhu was worried, so he wouldn’t let Du Fengying do any work; she just strolls around at home, taking it easy.
"Xiao Jiang, you’ve got quite a few eggs at home. Take them back for your family to eat, you’ve got more mouths to feed."
"Let’s split them, Sister Du. I see you look better than you did before."
"Really? I feel the same. I’ve been doing the exercises you taught me every day, and they really seem to help."
"Hehe, I only read about them from books." In her previous life, she worked as a cleaner in a yoga studio and saw pregnant women doing yoga there. Seeing Du Fengying’s severe swelling made her recall a few exercises.
Du Fengying is a tidy person; her home is spotless, which puts you in a good mood. In this aspect, she’s better than Zhang Qiu’e.
"Xiao Jiang, the pesticide factory might move to the city next month. Our Old Lu isn’t going, even though Director Zhuang has asked a few times."
"Master Lu doesn’t want to go back to the city, huh? Don’t you have a house there? There’ll be better retirement benefits in the future; it’s a good deal."
"That’s what I said too, but Old Lu just doesn’t want to go back. He says he can’t handle the factory’s social dynamics and prefers a straightforward life in the village."
This was their own decision, and Jiang Xinyu didn’t say much more. Lu Tiezhu must have his own reasons.
After staying for a while, she went home. Shi Xian is too mischievous now, and Zhang Qiu’e can’t keep up with him. Besides, Zhao Xiaoli is pregnant, and it’s quite tiring for Zhang Qiu’e to look after three children alone.
When she got home, she didn’t see the children. "Xinyu, Little Wei took the three kids outside."
"No wonder it’s so peaceful. What do you want to eat tonight?"
"You brought home so many eggs? Let’s have some salted egg porridge tonight."
"Okay, I’ll go knead the dough and make some flatbreads. The workers need something solid to eat when they get back."
"Xiao Jiang, why don’t you make stuffed pancakes? Yang Zhongyi came over, and the three of them went out together."
"Oh, we have company. Alright, I’ll make stuffed pancakes. I’ll go cut some chives."
Yang Zhongyi followed behind the two without saying a word. He really feels helpless now, especially since his family somehow found out that the Tao family from the west is in Li Family Village and wants him to meet them. His dad even said the girl from the Tao family would be his wife in the future.
Wei Kaiyun and Old Yang didn’t even pay attention to him. This was his personal matter, after all. Besides, feelings can’t be forced. Wei Kaiyun already knew that Jing Chu didn’t have any feelings for Yang Zhongyi, so it would just be a period of pain for the young man.
"Brother Wei, Brother Yang, is there a Zhiqing with the surname Tao in the village?"
Old Yang glanced back at Yang Zhongyi. "Yes, the two siblings with the surname Tao, and their cousin with the surname Wang."
Wei Kaiyun didn’t even turn around. "How did you know?"
"My dad called me and said that girl with the surname Tao would be my wife in the future. I definitely won’t agree."
"If you don’t agree, what are you doing in Li Family Village?" Wei Kaiyun asked pointedly.
Yang Zhongyi was stumped by the question. That’s right, if he didn’t want to meet them, why did he come to Li Family Village in the first place?
"Yang Zhongyi, just accept reality. You can’t fight your family.
Luckily, Jing Chu doesn’t have feelings for you; otherwise, I wouldn’t forgive you."
"Brother Wei, no, I’m not here for the Tao family."
"That’s okay, it’s normal if you’re here to see them."
Wei Kaiyun turned the cart around, and Old Yang understood that he was taking Yang Zhongyi to meet the Tao family.
Yang Zhongyi followed behind them, feeling very troubled. Had he really already compromised in his heart? No, he definitely didn’t think that way.
The three of them pushed the stroller to the threshing ground, where twenty corn shelling machines were at work. freewёbnoνel.com
Wei Kaiyun found it too dusty and leaned down to tell the three kids, "Keep your mouths closed, or bugs will fly in."
The two older kids listened, pressing their lips tight. Shi Xian saw Ah Bao still grinning and slapped him, saying a string of gibberish, making Ah Bao pout and stop smiling.
They pushed the cart into the threshing ground, and Yang Zhongyi still followed behind.
Tao Chunhe was grouped with Changhe today. When Changhe saw Wei Kaiyun coming, he immediately stood up. "Master Wei, Master Yang."
"Changhe, how come you’re doing this work today?"
"I sprained my ankle yesterday."
"Did you see Doctor Liu about it?"
"Yes, I did. Doctor Liu said the bone is fine, just a bit strained. Told me to move as little as possible."
"Then sit down quickly."
At this point, Tao Chunhe also stood up, squinting at Yang Zhongyi behind the duo. "Mr. Wei, Mr. Yang."
"Tao Zhiqing, are all the Zhiqing working here?"
"Yes, the Captain thinks we’re too slow, so he let us do this, but it’s quite nice. Not tiring."
Yang Zhongyi, hearing Wei Kaiyun call him Tao Zhiqing, realized this was the boy from the Tao family.
In reality, his father’s idea to marry into the Tao family was just his own thought; the Tao family didn’t know about it yet. But Yang Zhongyi didn’t know that. freёwebnovel.com
Since he was here today, he thought it would be good to get acquainted, and then he could make it clear to that female friend that he had no intention of joining the family.
So he stepped forward. "Tao Zhiqing, I’m Yang Zhongyi, son of Yang Jiu Long."
Tao Chunhe understood and smiled, taking off his gloves for a handshake with the other young man.
"How is Grandpa Yang doing these days?"
"He’s in good health. How about Uncle Tao?" Even though they hadn’t met before, they were aware of each other.
"My grandpa’s doing quite well too, and you are...?"
"I’m at the nearby army camp."
Tao Chunhe nodded, thinking that’s a much freer position than his own.
"Would you like to have dinner at our place tonight?" After all, they had their own place here.
Yang Zhongyi smiled and nodded. "Then I’ll take you up on that offer."
Wei Kaiyun pushed the cart and said goodbye before leaving.
Yan Shuping had been secretly watching them from the moment they arrived. She was alongside Liu Cuilan, who noticed that Yan was ogling men and not working, which made her look down on Yan.
"I say, Yan Zhiqing, do you even plan to work?"
