Chapter 119
Chapter 119
When Meng Haisheng went to Meng Jianguo and said that he wanted to contract the wasteland outside the village, Meng Jianguo, who was drinking tea, almost dropped the tea in his hand.
"Haishen, what are you thinking about, contracting that wasteland."
"When the production brigade was in the past, many educated youth came to the countryside, and they tried their best to improve the wasteland and grow food."
"As a result, many people's hands were blistered, and the wasteland did not produce much food. After so many years, the weeds on the wasteland are half a person tall."
"If you contract it, just renovate the land, it will be a big project."
"The key is that you spend so much effort, and finally plant wheat, which doesn't even have half the yield of ordinary farmland."
"Uncle, I want to grow food. Don't we raise a lot of rabbits at home? I want to grow some grass that rabbits like to eat on that wasteland."
"It's good for growing weeds in wasteland, so growing grass must be no problem."
This is the first time Meng Jianguo heard that raising rabbits also requires growing grass.
"You have harvested a lot of alfalfa recently, isn't it enough?"
"I have more than 400 rabbits in my rabbit house, and they only eat several buckets of mixed rabbit feed a day."
"I don't know how long the alfalfa harvest will last, so it's better to prepare more now."
Meng Jianguo stopped trying to persuade Meng Haisheng when he heard that he wanted to grow alfalfa.
The price of contracting land was cheap at the moment, and Meng Haisheng contracted wasteland. In the end, Meng Jianguo contracted it to Meng Haisheng for 50 years at a price of 3 yuan per mu.
Immediately, Meng Haisheng asked Meng Jianguo to write a contract for the wasteland. The two signed it, and Meng Jianguo took it to the town to stamp it.
After the land was contracted, Meng Haisheng went back to discuss with Meng Guangzhu how to grow alfalfa.
In terms of farming, Meng Haisheng was much worse than Meng Guangzhu.
He had been farming for his whole life, and he knew better than anyone how to quickly clean up the farmland.
"You are rich, so you are so arrogant. There are so many lands in the village that can be contracted, why don't you go and contract 10 mu of wasteland?"
Meng Guangzhu was furious when he heard that it was wasteland.
In his eyes, only high-yield farmland is the best. Contracting wasteland is absolutely crazy.
"Dad, don't worry, listen to me, okay."
Meng Haisheng was helpless and quickly comforted Meng Guangzhu.
His father's temper was too explosive, just like a firecracker.
Meng Haisheng told Meng Guangzhu what he said to Meng Jianguo.
He contracted the wasteland to plant alfalfa. If he planted high-yield farmland, he would be crazy.
"Is that so? Why didn't you tell me earlier? It's really a hassle to raise so many rabbits now."
"Your wife can't be too tired. You can't mix so much rabbit feed by yourself every day."
Meng Haisheng also has the earthworm business to do. The county has also set up a small daycare center, so he is almost busy every day. If he is asked to cut a few pots of bitter hemp vegetables to go with rabbit feed every day, even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't do it.
"I'm here to discuss with you. I don't make cold dishes at home anymore. Mom and sister-in-law have nothing to do. Why don't I let them help me feed the rabbits and pay them according to the salary of cold dishes."
Meng Haisheng is still thinking about saving private money for Qu Lan.
"Okay, there are earthworms everywhere now. Your mom and sister-in-law can't catch many in a day, and it will delay the work at home. They can help you mix rabbit feed without delaying the work at home."
Meng Guangzhu didn't hesitate this time and agreed at once.
Meng Haisheng will raise more and more rabbits. It is better for them to help take care of them than for him, a grown man, to stay in the rabbit house all day.
"Tell your elder brother tomorrow not to go to the mountain to catch earthworms, but to borrow a plow that can be used on a tractor from the next village and turn over the wasteland casually."
"After the soil is turned over, you can dry it in the sun for two days to kill the weeds."
"Then just scatter alfalfa seeds on the ground. Don't worry, they will sprout in ten days or half a month."
"Dad, there are so many weeds in the wasteland, don't you need to cut them?"
"Why do you need to be so troublesome? Alfalfa is also a weed. Don't worry, it will grow all over the mountain."
Meng Haisheng blinked, as if what his father said was right.
In order to ask Meng Haisheng about purple alfalfa seeds, Fan Zhenzhen returned to the city one day in advance.
The rabbit house here was handed over to Meng Haisheng.
There are more than a dozen litters of rabbits in it, and they drink rabbit milk every day.
At first, Meng Haisheng didn't pay much attention and just tried to grab the mother rabbit. As a result, as soon as he put his arm into the rabbit cage, the mother rabbit kicked him hard.
Meng Haisheng felt that his arm was almost broken by the rabbit.
"The mother rabbit is in a bad mood right now. If you go straight to her, she will kick you."
QuSeeing Meng Haisheng was clumsy, Lan pushed him aside and went forward, touching the rabbit's ears and talking.
Then he pulled the big rabbit out by its ears and buttocks, put it in the small rabbit cage and fed it with rabbit milk.
"Dad, hold me for a while, I want to see the big rabbit."
As soon as Momo entered the rabbit house, she circled around Dazhuang, the giant in the rabbit house.
Since the day Fan Zhenzhen brought the rabbit, Momo has been full of curiosity about Dazhuang.
This is the first time she has seen such a big rabbit since she grew up.
"You can only look but not touch. Dazhuang has a bad temper and will bite people."
Meng Haisheng has been telling Momo not to touch the rabbits in the rabbit house casually, and not to feed them vegetables casually.
"I won't touch it. Grandma told me to touch the little rabbits. They are so cute."
Qu Lan loves these grandchildren at home at least. They are greedy for the little rabbits, and Qu Lan will give them a little rabbit of one month old to touch.
"Haisheng, have you noticed that in the past two months, Momo has been speaking more and more clearly, and she speaks in a set way."
"Not as depressed as before."
Meng Haisheng nodded slightly. Perhaps because of his company, Momo's personality has become more cheerful than before.
"Mom, I'm going to the county tomorrow. Do you have anything to bring to my sister?"
"Please bring me some noodles and an old hen."
Qu Lan has her own private money and often gives Meng Yu a little.
But she won't do it too much, after all, she and Meng Hailian still live together and have not separated.
If she gives Meng Yu too much, even if Wu Lixia doesn't say it, he can guess that Wu Lixia must be uncomfortable.
"Mom, I think Qi Shangdong's leg injury is almost healed. Why don't we let them come back? Dachuan and Xiaochuan are still a little young, and my sister can't take care of them alone."
"They should have come back a long time ago. When Qi Shangdong can move, go get the marriage certificate and set up the wedding banquet."
Qu Lan felt very unhappy when she mentioned these bad things. If it weren't for Qi Shangdong, the pretty boy, who seduced her daughter's heart, Meng Yu would not have suffered so much now.
