The kang (heated brick bed) for left-behind women

"Liu Mei is quite knowledgeable about sheep breeding, isn't she?" Lin Dachun joked.

"Of course."

"Just like men, sheep need to be tall, strong, handsome, and dashing to produce good offspring," Aunt Liu joked.

"Ha ha."

Lin Dachun laughed so hard, saying, "How can you compare a person to a sheep? A sheep can mate with many, but a person can only mate with one. No matter how handsome or tall you are, you can only mate with one."

Aunt Liu rolled her eyes at Lin Dachun and said with a smile, "You know Widow Su from the village entrance, right?"

"Of course I know, what's wrong?" Lin Dachun asked curiously.

"Have you met her husband? What does he look like?" Aunt Liu asked.

"Short, ugly, and dark-skinned, like Wu Dalang."

"And what about Widow Su?"

"Widow Su is so beautiful." Lin Dachun thought back to himself. Everyone says that a handsome man and a beautiful woman are a perfect match. How could such a beautiful woman like Widow Su marry such a loser?

However, in this era, marriages were mostly arranged by parents.

Moreover, although Widow Su's husband looked like Wu Dalang, his family was not poor.

"If you were Widow Su, would you have children with a man like her husband?" Aunt Liu asked with a smile.

I rub.

Lin Dachun had never thought of such a question.

"Is it possible? But doesn't Widow Su have children?" Aunt Liu laughed again, "Do her children look like her husband?"

After Aunt Liu pointed it out, Lin Dachun realized that it really didn't seem like it; their body types were completely different.

"You mean Widow Su was with another man?" Lin Dachun realized.

"Yes, and also, do you think my son looks like my husband?" Aunt Liu asked again.

"ah??"

Lin Dachun was stunned again.

"What? You're almost a generation older than me, you should know more than me, right?" Aunt Liu said meaningfully.

"So, those ugly, short, and unattractive guys don't have priority in mating. On the contrary, tall, handsome guys are different. Brother Da Chun, do you belong to the former or the latter?"

Aunt Liu looked at Lin Dachun and asked.

"I don't know, my family is poor, what do you think, Liu Mei?" Lin Dachun asked.

"The latter," Aunt Liu whispered in Lin Dachun's ear, "So, you have priority."

"Nonsense, are you kidding me? I'm going to cut the lawn." Lin Dachun stood up, scoffing at Aunt Liu's words. At least, such a thing had never happened to him.

Lin Dachun hurriedly went to cut grass and stuffed it full.

When his own lambs had almost finished eating, he herded them back to their nest.

He drove the sheep into the pen, but it was still cold. Fearing the sheep would freeze to death, he carried wheat straw and corn stalks to cover the pen, making sure it was warm inside.

"Grow up healthy and safe, don't let anything happen to you," Lin Dachun reassured them.

These are all his precious treasures.

Of course, there was also his beloved treasure in the cave dwelling.

When Lin Dachun returned home, the cave dwelling was still warm.

Li Ruoxue blushed and dared not look at Lin Dachun.

She had been drinking last night, and thinking about what happened last night made her even more shy.

"Sister Liu said that our sheep are all good breeds. They're not only fat when they grow up, but more importantly, they're high-yielding breeds." Lin Dachun took off his coat and sat down at the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) to warm his hands.

Li Ruoxue cooked lunch and brought it out.

The two of them sat down together.

"What do you mean? What is a high-yield variety?" Li Ruoxue asked.

"When they grow up and reach that age, their reproductive capacity is very strong, and they can give birth to a whole litter of lambs at once," Lin Dachun explained.

Upon hearing this, Li Ruoxue blushed.

"Is she like Aunt Lin at the end of the village? She's had six kids, I think, and she's still having more. They're amazing," Li Ruoxue said, blushing as she ate carefully.

In this day and age, having three to five children is the norm.

Some have had as many as ten children.

"Hehe, that's the idea. But you can't have children with just any breed. You have to have excellent offspring. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if you gave birth to a sickly or disabled child." Lin Dachun suddenly felt that Aunt Liu's words made a lot of sense.

"Well, let's raise sheep properly then. Maybe we can have dozens in the future. At fifty yuan each, ten sheep would be five hundred, right?" Li Ruoxue calculated.

"Yes, ten isn't enough; we don't have that much of a price," Lin Dachun said.

As the two were chatting, Lin Dachun suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, I'll take you to see Dr. Sun this afternoon. Didn't you say your stomach was upset last night after drinking? Let's go get it checked out," Lin Dachun said with concern.
