Yang Xiaole nodded, naturally aware of the matter of cutting down the fruit trees in the village.

All the fruit trees in the village were to be cut down.

Only the fruit trees in the production team were left.

He then squatted down and touched the dog's head, saying, "Dahuang, what's wrong with you? Get up!"

He pretended to touch Dahuang's mouth.

Dahuang, who was already old, seemed to sense something and licked his hand.

The more he licked, the more addicted he became.

After licking for a while, Yang Xiaole felt it was enough and let go, shaking his hand and saying with a smile, "Dahuang is still so obedient."

He then went to the nearby bucket, scooped some water and washed his hands.

After Dahuang finished licking, he continued to lie there motionless.

Yang Xiaole finished washing his hands and returned to the grape tree, taking a glance and saying, "Forget it, you've eaten them all, they're all unripe, not even a half-red one."

Unripe ones can still be eaten, but they are too sour.

He was afraid of sourness, especially the sour taste of fruits, he could hardly eat them.

Then he glanced at Dog Sheng and laughed, "Your grandpa doesn't go hunting anymore, right?"

"Yeah, he doesn't go out anymore. He said we eat together now, not allowed to cook at home. It's useless to catch anything, and grandpa said we'll have meat and big white buns every day from now on."

When Dog Sheng spoke, he had a look of longing.

They did have more meat at home, but there was less grain. How much grain could they get from the low guarantee!

"Maybe!"

Yang Xiaole smiled and didn't say much.

The whole village ate porridge during idle times and dry food during busy times. Now they could eat meat and grain every day and always be full.

Unless this year's grain production increased several times.

Who knows how long it can last.

"Crunch! Crunch!"

While talking, Dahuang lifted his dog's head and started licking the porridge in the bowl.

Dog Sheng saw this scene and happily squatted down, even showing his butt.

"Hey, Dahuang is eating. Grandpa said as long as it can eat, it can live. If it doesn't eat, it won't live long. Great, great. Dahuang, eat more, you can live a few more days."

Yang Xiaole watched this scene and felt that there might be some benefits to this well water that he didn't know about.

If this water could only increase the growth rate, according to the vitality of this dog, it should die shortly after drinking the well water.

It seems to be no problem.

But he still needs to observe for a day. If there are no problems tomorrow, then there should be no problem.

"Oh, by the way, Zhang Liu'er seems to be looking for you, saying something about the money for two bottles."

Yang Xiaole paused when he heard Dog Sheng's words.

Money for two bottles?

Last time he bought some seasonings and asked for two bottles, did he forget to pay?

He calculated the money he gave at that time.

Damn it, it seems like he really didn't give it!

This girl actually realized it.

Two bottles for 2 fen, the money still needs to be paid.

Thinking about the things in the space, he had to go and fix the pigpen, otherwise, it would be impossible without a pigpen when the pigs arrived at night.

And he had to figure out a way to get piglets.

Because of the tail docking, there were no sows in the whole village, and the pigs they raised were all castrated, so the pigs wouldn't be restless and would grow faster.

To get piglets, he had to go to the Commune's Livestock and Good Breeding Station.

It was a place where the livestock station and the agricultural technology station were merged.

It was a place that helped promote production and breeding techniques for farmers.

But farmers were used to keeping their own seeds, which was more reassuring. At most, they would buy some pesticides. They didn't even need to think about fertilizers. Without quotas, they couldn't get fertilizers.

So that place was basically for selling piglets, veterinary treatment, and animal castration.

Starting this year, the production team could raise sows, but by the time the production team's pigs grew up, he wouldn't need them anymore.

Thinking of this, he greeted Dog Sheng, "Dog Sheng, I'm leaving. Oh, give me this!"

Pointing to a small seedling next to the grape tree!

Dog Sheng glanced at it and nodded indifferently, "You take care of it! We can't keep it anyway."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole found a shovel in the yard and dug up the grape seedling.

After finishing, he came out.

He strolled around the village, found a haystack, and entered the space next to it.

After entering, he looked at the neatly stacked large blue bricks.

Then he started working.

As he moved his thoughts, the water in the pit began to fall onto the soil pile. This was the pit he dug before.

After stirring, a pile of mud came out.

The pigpen next to the hillside was gradually built, and soon a pigpen of about thirty square meters was completed. (The area has been changed in the previous text, it should be three hundred square meters)

It was enough space to raise ten pigs.

Fortunately, there were enough bricks.

Just need to build a pig trough later.

He also built a rabbit hutch and a chicken coop.

Suddenly, the whole space seemed very cramped.After finishing, he threw a few rabbits into the rabbit hole, but he didn't bother with the chickens and let them eat on their own.

He plucked some vegetable leaves and threw them into the rabbit hole, then left without paying any more attention.

It was almost time for dinner.

Feeling the silence outside, he quietly left the space and headed home.

As he walked on the road, the smell of meat filled the air.

His stomach growled.

When he arrived at the door, he heard voices of argument coming from Second Brother's house.

Yang Xiaole smiled and didn't pay attention, but went straight home.

When he reached the door, he saw Yang Qingwu standing in the yard, talking to Yang Guangzhi.

Yang Qingwu had his hands behind his back and said to Yang Guangzhi, "My brother said that it wasn't convenient to say anything with so many people just now. This is all that's left. Be careful with it."

Yang Guangzhi nodded lightly while smoking his cigarette. "I understand, thanks!"

"We don't need to be polite to each other. Alright, let's go back and eat." Yang Qingwu smiled casually.

"Second Grandpa!"

Seeing Yang Xiaole coming over, Yang Qingwu instinctively touched his head. "You're back? Go back and eat."

But Yang Xiaole dodged it.

You can't just touch a man's head casually.

Yang Qingwu didn't mind, as he was used to it.

Then he smiled and said, "Alright, you guys go in and eat. I'll go back."

After saying that, he went back while smoking his dried tobacco.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole knew what was going on. The 30 yuan had been returned.

"Dad, did he give you the money back?"

"Yeah, Qingwen said it wasn't convenient with so many people just now, so Qingwu brought it back."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded.

"If you don't come back soon, the food will be gone. I won't save any for you. Hurry up, the food is ready."

Amidst his thoughts, the complaining voice of his mother, Wang Qiuju, came, holding a food basin in her hand.

Inside was a pot of freshly braised chicken.

"Alright!"

Yang Xiaole agreed and washed his hands before heading straight to the main hall.

Yang Guangzhi, on the other hand, smoked his dried tobacco and slowly went to the main hall.

When they entered the house, the whole family was already waiting eagerly, staring at the dishes on the table.

Yang Xiaole took a look.

Braised chicken, stir-fried chili and eggs, stir-fried leeks, eggplant, hollow vegetables, green beans, and a basin of rice.

Wow.

This was the level of the New Year's Day feast.

What was important was that the dishes were glistening with oil, making them very appetizing.

Wang Qiuju looked at the impatient children and said with a smile, "Alright, I won't divide the food today. Eat as much as you want. There will be another meal tonight!"

"Oh!"

Upon hearing the order, everyone became excited. Even the usually composed Eldest Brother quickly picked up his chopsticks and grabbed a chicken leg.

"I want a chicken leg!"

"I want a chicken leg too!"

Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother almost started fighting over the chicken leg.

Seeing this, Wang Qiuju gave the chicken leg to Fourth Brother and smiled at Fifth Brother. "Eat the chicken wing. Eating chicken wings will make your hair grow. Come on, Second Brother, have a piece too."

Fifth Brother pouted upon hearing this.

But seeing that there was still other chicken meat, he happily grabbed a piece.

The chicken was old, and the two little kids were struggling to chew on the meat. It took them a while to swallow it.

Yang Xiaole immediately picked up a chicken intestine with his chopsticks. He loved eating this.

It was tender and fragrant.

Then he looked up at everyone with some concern and said, "Mom, be careful. With so much oil, we'll definitely have diarrhea in the afternoon. Don't let it get too bad."

He wasn't joking.

They had used up half a year's worth of oil. Although it wasn't a lot, the combined amount of the dishes was about half a kilogram of oil.

There was more oil than during the New Year's Day feast.

After a long period of oil shortage, suddenly eating such greasy food could really cause problems.

He and Yang Guangzhi had already eaten some meat yesterday.

Wang Qiuju took a look and felt that it should be fine.

But she still said, "After we finish eating, I'll go dig some cow-tongue grass and boil some water for you to drink!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole felt relieved.

Cow-tongue grass was actually Plantain.

In the countryside, people liked to boil water with it when they had diarrhea, and it worked quite well.

And this stuff was everywhere.

As they ate, Yang Xiaole thought about the militia he mentioned earlier and asked Yang Guangzhi, "Dad, did Second Uncle Qingwu put you in the militia?"

Yang Guangzhi was too busy eating!

He only looked up when he heard the question. "Yeah, from now on, being in the militia counts as full work points. And if we patrol at night, it also counts as work points. It's 10 work points for a night!"

Yang Xiaole nodded lightly.

That's fine. The militia wouldn't be on night patrol every day. A group of people would take turns.

The militia had expanded to ten people now.Moreover, the current militia is somewhat different from before, and will be under the jurisdiction of the county armed department's militia camp in the future.

They are required to serve regularly, respond in emergencies, and fight in times of war.

Seeing his expression, Yang Guangzhi thought of something and said to him, "Oh, by the way, Qingwen asked me to ask you. The Production Team wants to set up a literacy class. They said the Commune's teachers are limited, so they want you to be the teacher. It's 8 Work Points per night."

"8 Work Points? Isn't that the same as me? Xiaole, why wouldn't you go?"

Wang Qiuju muttered from the side.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaole quickly refused, "No, I'm not in good health, it's not that I don't want to do it!"

He knew about this. The village had run literacy classes before, right after the Founding of the Nation.

He still clearly remembers the slogan: "Climb the mountain of culture, capture 1500 characters alive!"

Such a vivid image.

But he has big things to do in the future!

It would be a loss to be tied down by this.

Yang Guangzhi, gnawing on a chicken leg, nodded slightly.

Indeed, he had the same considerations, which is why he didn't immediately agree.

The group had a hearty lunch, even soaking their rice in soy sauce soup.

After lunch, Wang Qiuju went out to dig up some plantain to boil water.

However, before she could finish boiling it, several people started to react. The whole family was running to the toilet non-stop.

"Eldest Brother, hurry up and come out!" Fourth Brother was shouting desperately, stomping his feet in urgency.

"You're just making a mess."

Yang Xiaogang's voice came from the toilet.

Seeing this, Xi Zi ran directly behind the dung heap, unbuckled his pants and started to relieve himself.

As for the women, they had chamber pots at home, so they were inside!

Seeing that Eldest Brother wasn't coming out for a long time and feeling his own stomach react, Yang Xiaole knew this guy wouldn't come out, so he quickly ran outside.

At the same time, many people in the entire village were in the same situation.
