1980s Group-Pampering: Cannon-Fodder Real Young Lady Gets a Divorce and Becomes a Billionaire

  Chapter 18 Xiaobai's thoughts

   Lan Shengli felt even more unbelievable what was yet to come.

  A few days later, when Lan Dazhuang and Xiao Bai circled the free-range chicken farm near the fruit forest, erected iron bars around it, tied nylon rope nets, built a shed, and the free-range chicken farm was completed.

  The chicken farm is next to the orchard. Because the fruit trees are still too small, they are temporarily separated from the chicken farm.

  After the fruit trees grow up, the range of activities of free-range chickens will also increase.

  There is a chicken farm, and the next step is to raise chicks in the chicken farm.

   Regarding this, Lan Shu entrusted Aunt Wang in the village to help collect the chicks a few days ago.

  Now the price of eggs is one yuan and fifteen, and the hatched chicks cost two cents each.

   Lan Shu and Aunt Wang made an agreement that Aunt Wang should ensure that the chickens are of good quality, and Aunt Wang needs to raise them for a few days first, and she will pay 30 cents each.

  Almost every household in the village has chickens. This family sells three or five chickens, and that family sells seven or eight chickens. It is easy to receive a hundred young chickens.

  Lan Shu did not set a limit in terms of quantity, and in the end Aunt Wang helped her collect more than 160 chicks.

   A total of 50 yuan was taken, and all of them were placed in free-range chicken farms. They were raised every day during the day and put in cages to rest at night.

  By the time Lan Shu's aunt of this month passed by, the situation on the mountain had already been preliminarily established.

  There are orchards and chicken farms.

   At the beginning, the brothers and sisters pooled more than 3,000 yuan, and now there are more than 1,000 yuan.

   With Lan Dazhuang around, no matter whether it is an orchard or a chicken farm, Lan Shu doesn't have to worry about it.

   But seeing how hard her elder brother worked, Lan Shu felt that she should also show it.

  So this morning, she called Xiaobai, "Come on, follow me to the street to cut a few catties of meat and come back, and cook something delicious for my brother."

  …

  There are several other villages near Tianshui Village. At the beginning and middle of each month, there will be a two-day market on Xinghua Village Street, three to four kilometers away from Tianshui Village.

   This is also a place for villagers to trade slowly after the reform and opening up.

   To be precise, until this year, the fair did not take shape.

  The village is no better than the county town. Meat is sold every day in the supply and marketing cooperatives in the county town, but the supply and marketing cooperatives in the village dare not sell pork, which has a short shelf life.

  Because it is rare for people in the village to eat meat, it is usually during festivals, when someone in the village kills a pig, and everyone buys some.

  Of course, there are also a small number of people who buy meat. Generally, families are reluctant to spend money on meat.

  Although the original owner, Lan Shu, usually eats a lot of meat at home, most of them are dried bacon that her parents gathered during the Chinese New Year.

   If you want to eat fresh meat, you can only buy it at the market twice a month.

  Walking all the way to the market, Lan Shu was already panting from exhaustion.

   This is the result of her insisting on exercising in the past month, otherwise, with the original owner's state of being too lazy to move every day, she might not be able to come to this market at all.

   On the other hand, Xiaobai walked three or four kilometers without taking a breath. This physique can definitely be called great!

   I don’t know what Xiaobai used to do? Not only does he look good, he has a good figure, he can cook, and his physique is beyond comparison to ordinary people.

   Lan Shu heard from her elder brother that when working on the mountain a few days ago, Xiao Bai did as much as he did.

  Being able to be compared with her big brother who seems to be a natural expert at work, Xiaobai definitely has a background!

  Thinking about it again, Xiaobai's identity must be extraordinary if someone deliberately targeted him, smashed his head and threw him into the river.

   It's just that those who harmed Xiaobai would not have thought that he was so lucky! Still alive.

Xiao Bai who followed to the market didn't know what Lan Shu was thinking. Regarding the market, he felt that he had never been to a similar place before, so he should not be from the village, so he could only come from the county, Or from the city.

  The market here is not big, and there are few types of things for sale. Most of them are things brought out by villagers in nearby villages.

  The two of them walked along the street. There were children selling eggs, old ladies selling handmade black cloth shoes, stalls selling candy and fried fruit, and occasionally a few people selling roosters.

  As for the hens, of course they should be kept to lay eggs, and there can be a steady stream of eggs for sale.

As for vegetables and food, no one is willing to sell them. Nowadays, every household in the village relies on working in the fields to get centimeters. The food they exchange for centimeters every year may not be enough for them to eat. Of course, they will not exchange rations for money, otherwise It will be hungry.

  Suddenly, 'Bang! ’ There was a muffled sound, and together with the sound, there was also the smell of corn wafting in the air.

   "What's that?" Xiao Bai frowned.

   And Lan Shu was a little pleasantly surprised, "They actually sell popcorn! Let's go buy it."

   As she spoke, she grabbed Xiaobai's wrist and ran over there—

  Lan Shu hasn't eaten popcorn for a long time. This kind of thing that exists across the ages makes her feel very kind.

  A piece of paper is rolled into a pointed cone-shaped paper tube below, which is filled with popcorn, and a tube costs only 20 cents.

  Lan Shu bought a copy, paid for it, and immediately squeezed a piece of popcorn into her mouth.

   This thing is fragrant, crunchy and sweet, and the taste of saccharin is very light, just like her taste!

  Xiao Bai on the side watched Lan Shu squinting her eyes and smiling happily while eating, Xiao Bai suddenly felt that Sister Lan was like a little girl who hadn't grown up.

  In her body, she doesn't have the maturity and philistinism that a woman who has experienced marriage should have, and she doesn't have the gloom and indifference of a divorced woman. Although she is older than herself, she rarely maintains her original innocence.

  He has known Sister Lan for a month. In Xiaobai's eyes, the impression of Sister Lan in his heart has changed countless times.

  From the unattractive fat sister at the beginning, to the perseverance of losing a lot of weight in just half a month later, he was impressed.

   Immediately after contracting the village’s back mountain, planting orchards, and free-range mountain chickens, Sister Lan’s ideas and courage, not to mention the men in the village, probably no man in the entire county can match her!

   It was also at that time that Xiaobai's address for Sister Lan changed from 'Fat Sister' to 'Sister Lan' in his heart.

  He admires a person from the bottom of his heart.

  And now, seeing Sister Lan's innocent side, he felt that Sister Lan's little girl's appearance was a bit indescribable...cute?

  Suddenly, Lan Shu's clear voice reached Xiao Bai's ears—

   "Why are you in a daze~ Come and taste it, it's delicious."

  Holding the popcorn in one hand, she bumped Xiaobai's arm with her elbow and said,

  Xiaobai just woke up from the state of trance, and after that, he actually had the feeling of being 'caught on the spot' in his heart!

  In order to cover up his mood, Xiaobai immediately grabbed a handful of popcorn from Sister Lan’s hand, and quickly stuffed it into his mouth—

   "Eat slowly, even if it's delicious, you can't eat too much, this thing will get angry!"

  Xiao Bai didn't listen to what he said later, but fortunately, Lan Shu didn't continue to supervise him.

   After the two ate a few handfuls of popcorn, they walked towards the pork stall in the market together.
