A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 102 [102] Literacy and raising pigs

Although A Niang has planted cotton this year, after removing the seeds from the cotton, there is only about ten catties of cotton. What can ten catties of cotton do?At most, she and Zhuo Jian could make a thick padded coat for each of them, and then make a padded vest and padded shoes for her brothers, and there was almost nothing left.

The eldest uncle wrote back, intending to send the eldest brother and the second brother to serve in the army after the end of the new year. My aunt disagreed with this, and felt that it would be better for them to graduate from junior high school. They are still too young now. A letter came back in the mail and sent out again.

In the end, it was the two elder brothers who made the final decision. They not only want to finish junior high school, but also high school, and they will be admitted to the military academy in the future.

After reading their letter, the uncle wrote back to tell me that this idea is indeed good, because if you graduate from high school and take the military academy exam, you will be an officer, and your future development prospects are much better than serving as a soldier now, so he stopped talking and acquiesced to this decision.

Father, mother, and uncle also learn arithmetic and literacy with their brothers on weekends, and she and Zhuo Jian are also there to join in the fun.

They can have this understanding because Zhuo Dajun found that more and more positions in the unit require education. Only educated people will have more opportunities for promotion. It is impossible for him to do small jobs all his life, so I also have the desire to study hard. It just so happens that the eldest and the second go home on weekends, and they will make up lessons for the old and the young. In this way, they become auditors. Every Sunday, they have to spend half a day studying. It is absolutely impossible in other people's family, but in Zhuo's family, it has formed a very good habit.

After entering the winter, some people in the village began to raise pigs. The uncle and the mother also caught two each. Pigs are omnivores and can eat anything. Although it is cold, pigweed can still be found by the river. Every morning, my brothers get up early, cut two baskets of pigweed and come back, and then feed them with the leftover soup, bran and bran from cooking at home.

Now eggs can be sold for two cents each, and their family can harvest four eggs almost every day, eat three, and save one. She and Zhuo Jianlei can't shake the one egg, and the remaining one will be cooked when the mother cooks the soup. Sieve it in, so that the brothers can also eat some.

In the whole family, she and Zhuo Jian are probably the ones living the happiest life.

"After the new year, let's raise a few more," A Niang always looked at her brothers owed, but the brothers didn't care at all, because the younger brothers and sisters were still young, how could the habits they had developed since childhood be here? The top is jealous.

There is no best, mutual accommodation, husband and wife are harmonious, brothers are united, and sisters-in-law help each other. What kind of fairy family is this kind of family?

Moreover, the two sisters-in-law are not diligent when returning to their natal home. The main reason is that they are busy here, and no one can take care of going back to their natal home. Since Zhuo Dajun has a formal job, Wang feels that there is not enough time every day. Even if he wants to send something to his natal home, It was also when she sent her son to go to school, and she went back in a hurry during the year, on August [-]th, and she went back by herself, without bringing her and Zhuo Jian.

So Zhuo Lin didn't know much about her natal family, but she could know from the few words of her parents that her grandparents were reasonable people, otherwise she wouldn't have let her marry her father who didn't pay any bride price, and her grandpa was a carpenter Well, the uncles are also carpenters, so the condition of the grandfather's house must be better than theirs.
