It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 126 Failure and Setbacks (Ninth Day of the Fourth Lunar Month)

Su Rui looked up at the sky and said slowly: "It can be said that everyone will experience failure or setback, and it is not terrible. What is terrible is that we have lost confidence and motivation because of one failure or setback. Our positive inner potential."

"Besides, in life, it is impossible to be proud all the time and everything goes smoothly. Failures and setbacks are what we have to face. As a person with dreams, we must learn to face all kinds of failures and setbacks with a positive attitude. Only Only those who dare to face failures and setbacks can achieve what others cannot achieve, and only through countless failures and setbacks can we achieve countless successes."

This time, Mrs. Wang understands that she has also failed, but she faced the failure positively and won the life she wanted. Now occasionally the eldest daughter brings her son-in-law to visit her, and four children accompany her at night. She can also work to earn money, Wang is very satisfied.

When Meng Mingzhou heard what Su Rui said, he was shocked in place, as if his heart that had stopped beating for a long time started beating again.

He sighed in his heart, "Yeah, failure is not terrible, the terrible thing is that I don't even have the courage to face failure. Besides, Su Rui is not afraid of failure and setbacks a few years younger than him, so what is he afraid of? And even if he fails It’s a big deal to start all over again! It’s just a failure, is he going to give up? No, he can’t give up, he still has to bring his younger brother to reunite with his family, let his younger brother receive a better education, and…”

Meng Mingzhou's eyes darkened, he glanced at Su Rui, and then returned to the bedroom.

It was late at night, and Meng Mingzhou was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Meng Mingzhou simply didn't sleep anymore, turned over and got up, put on a coat, walked to the desk, lit the oil lamp, sat down, looked at the paper, inkstone, pen and ink on the desk, Meng Mingzhou suddenly smiled.

Obviously, since he came to this house, he has never shown the slightest sign of wanting to study, but he just doesn't know what Su Rui thinks. After moving in, besides preparing a new set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones for Ming Xu, he also gave him Ready, do you think he should study?still?
Meng Mingzhou picked up the inkstone, poured some water into it, and grinded it leisurely with an ink stick, but he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Su Chenrui got up in the middle of the night, he was still not used to the toilet, but went to the latrine every night, passed by Meng Mingzhou's room and found that the light was still on, he was just curious why he didn't sleep in the middle of the night, but he didn't go up to ask.

The morning glow in the east rose, and through the morning light into the room, Meng Mingzhou realized that he had been writing all night without knowing it. He put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his sore wrists and walked out of the room. Wisps of cooking smoke had already risen from the roofs of the village, and the air was also filled with a veil-like mist. Meng Mingzhou took a deep breath, feeling at ease like never before.

Meng Mingzhou heard a sound behind him, turned around, and found that it was Su Rui, and smiled at her like a bright sun.

"Good morning, do you want breakfast now?"

Su Rui looked at Meng Mingzhou's smile, was startled for a few seconds in surprise, and then nodded.

"Ah."

Meng Mingzhou walked towards the firewood room, and said, "Okay, then you go to the kitchen room first, and I'll get some firewood."

After breakfast, Su Chenrui went to private school, Su Wan and Su Ying took Su Chennan to Su Changying's house to play with Su Min's siblings, while Su Qiao and Wang's mother and daughter were busy in the kitchen, Meng Mingxu Then she ran to the old house to feed the rabbits and chickens, and Su Rui was a little bored, when she didn't know what to do, Meng Mingzhou came to her.

"Sister Rui, we have moved to the new house for a few days. Didn't we say we were going to renovate the old house and raise chickens and rabbits?"

Su Rui "...I forgot, luckily cousin Mingzhou reminded me."

Meng Mingzhou laughed again, and the smile that was revealed almost blinded Su Rui's eyes. The eyes that were already beautiful were now shining brightly and dazzingly.

"It doesn't matter, I was thinking about it. How do you say it will be rebuilt?"

Su Rui thought about it, stood up and said, "Let's go and have a look, it's getting warmer now, it's okay to keep it outside."

Meng Mingzhou nodded, "Well, you're right, it's fine now, but chickens and rabbits can't stand the dog-day sun in summer, and it won't work in winter either."

Su Rui didn't think too much about it, she didn't know anything about farming and planting, so she just took it one step at a time.

Walking to the door of the old house, Su Rui heard the voice of Meng Mingxu talking to someone from inside, and went in to see that it was Su Chendong and Meng Mingxu who were squatting outside the chicken coop, discussing how to raise chickens.

"Brother Mingxu, you can't feed the chicks just after they hatch. You have to wait for an hour before you can feed them some warm water. After two hours, you can feed them crushed rice, wheat or corn."

Meng Mingxu was puzzled, "Why do you give water to the newly hatched chicks first? And why do you have to crush the grain and feed it?"

Su Chendong smiled and explained: "Because the newly hatched chickens have meconium in their stomachs, it is better to expel it and then feed them with food. Moreover, the newly hatched chickens are relatively fragile. If you feed them grains that are too large, it will kill them."

Meng Mingxu understood, and looked at Su Chendong with admiration on his face, "Brother Chendong is awesome, I don't even understand if I ask him."

Meng Mingzhou "..."

Su Rui laughed out loud, Su Chendong was taken aback, turned his head and saw Su Rui and Meng Mingzhou, he quickly stood up, because standing up was a bit abrupt, his eyes suddenly went dark, and he almost fell, Meng Mingxu Hurriedly holding him up, seeing Meng Mingzhou looking at him expressionlessly, just when he was feeling uneasy, seeing Su Rui smiling again, he felt relieved.

"Sister Rui, brother, why are you here?"

Meng Mingzhou nodded coldly.

Seeing Meng Mingzhou's expressionless face, Su Rui was afraid that he would blame Meng Mingxu, so she hurriedly said, "Let's see how to change the old house so that we can raise chickens and rabbits on a large scale in the future."

After Su Rui finished speaking, she looked at Su Chendong who was nervous beside her, and said with a smile: "Brother Chendong, how do you know how to raise chickens?"

Seeing that Su Rui was not angry, Su Chendong took a deep breath, and said carefully: "In my grandmother's village, there is a big chicken family that has raised chickens for several generations. There are also people from other counties who specialize in I went to his house to buy chickens, and my grandmother had a good relationship with them, so I specially learned some experience from their house, and later taught it to my mother."

Su Rui understood, "Then can you say a little more about raising chickens?"

Su Chendong thought for a while, then nodded and said: "The chicks have only hatched for two or three days, and they don't eat much. After about three or four days, the chicks will start to eat a lot. At this time, we need to increase our food intake." Feed a lot, but not too much, about [-]% full is enough, too much will cause indigestion, and not enough will affect their growth."
