Domineering husband

Chapter 87

 The husband and wife really slept all night with the money box open, and the first thing Tao Zhu did when he woke up the next day was to get out of bed to look at the money box on the table.

It was still dark at this time, but it was snowing outside, and the snow light filtered through the window paper to make the darkness in the room thinner, so the outlines of several money boxes could be seen.

These open money boxes stayed where they were, the same as when he and Li Qiao fell asleep last night.

After looking at it several times, he finally yawned contentedly, and then slowly retracted his head back into the bed.

Happy~

Li Qiao was amused by his movements: "They don't have long legs, so they can't run."

Tao Zhu lay most of his body in Li Qiao's arms, and buried his face in Li Qiao's neck. Hearing this, he He closed his eyes and hummed: "I want to see."

These three words were slightly hoarse, but very soft.

Hearing this, Li Qiao's heart also softened.

"Then continue to show it today. When will we get tired of watching it? When will we put it away." Li Qiao said as he reached out and hugged him, and gently rubbed his big hand on his back. From his neck to his waist, it seemed like a massage, which was extremely comfortable. up.

He had the idea of ​​staying in bed.

His mind was still on those silver bills, and he said slowly, "This year, I will add an extra chicken to the workers' annual gift."

Although he doesn't like to spend money, he is not stingy.

The twelfth lunar month is approaching, and he has been preparing annual gifts for the workers of the duck workshop for the past two days. Originally, he only planned to give out red envelopes and snacks, but now he suddenly has a windfall, so everyone will add an extra chicken.

"Brother Zhu is magnificent!"

Li Qiao immediately praised him, and he was very flattered.

Tao Zhu listened to his slightly exaggerated tone, curled up the corners of his mouth, and said again: "Well... on the day of the stove sacrifice, let's donate grain and pigs to the sweet potato workshop in the county again. Donate a few more pigs this time, and try to let the Every worker can have a bite of meat."

"Listen to you." Li Qiao had no objection to this.

It's all small bucks.

Tao Zhu hummed, closed his eyes, his brain was empty, and he wanted to sleep comfortably, but when he thought of Yin Zi next to him, his brain was so excited that he didn't want to sleep.

After thinking about it, he had an idea in his mind for a while, and after a while, he said: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, the bacon in Zhujia Village is so popular." At the beginning, the head of Zhujia Village approached Li Qiao and said that Zhujia Village not only wanted to raise chickens, ducks and

pigs , and wanted to do the bacon business, Li Qiao agreed and taught Village Chief Zhu how to make bacon.

With bacon recipes and pigs, Zhujia Village really started the bacon business.

Vermicelli are made in winter, so Zhujia Village makes bacon in spring. They make smoked bacon, which tastes good and is not hard. It is sold in Wangyuelou. Not only local people in Pingcheng will buy it, but some foreign vendors will also buy it. .

For the Chinese New Year right now, many people want to buy some as New Year's goods, but people in Zhujia Village are too busy making vermicelli and have no time to make bacon, so the market is lost in vain.

The bacon business in Zhujia Village is to be shared by Li Qiao, but because there are few people in Zhujia Village and the bacon is limited, the money distributed to Li Qiao is actually not much.

With Tao Zhu's family background at this time, he is naturally not thinking about this little money, what he wants is to let the villagers earn money.

His duck workshop plans to recruit another 50 people this time, striving to make 1,000 ducks a day.

But in the final analysis, his duck workshop is just a small workshop with a hundred people, with a small scale and limited jobs.

But if the method of bacon spreads...

Although the folks can't make a lot of money, they can make a small money.

A pig weighs more than 100 catties, and after removing the bones, viscera and tenderloin, only a few dozen catties are left that can be used to make bacon.

A catty of bacon has a net profit of 20 Wen. If a pig only sells bacon, it can probably earn a tael of silver.

There are no large pig farms at this time, and there are plenty of pigs in Pingcheng. Therefore, in the case of insufficient supply, bacon really can't make a lot of money, only a little money.

"How about, let's teach the people in our village how to make bacon, and do what they want. As for our share, we don't want it,"

he said again.

"Okay." Li Qiao had no objection, the money earned from selling bacon in Zhujia Village was indeed a small amount of money for him at this moment.

He will go to the capital next year, and if there are no accidents, he will have little chance to return to Sanliu Village.

Finding another way of making money for the folks before entering Beijing can be regarded as the fulfillment of this fate. He has traveled here and lived a good life in the past few years. He hopes that the people in Sanliu Village, including the entire Pingcheng, can live and work in peace and contentment. The days are booming.

Seeing that Li Qiao agreed without saying a word, Tao Zhu couldn't help rubbing Li Qiao's heart.

His life is really good, to marry such a good person.

"What do you want to eat in the morning?" He asked, "I'll make it for you."

"Let Chuntao and Third Sister do it, let's stay in bed."

The blanket was warm, and Tao Zhu lying in his arms was also soft, Li Qiao wanted to stay in bed.

Tao Zhu smiled when he heard the words: "Okay."

This person's wishes must come first, Li Qiao wants to stay in bed, of course he has to accompany him.

So, the couple hugged each other and gossiped without saying a word. They didn't get up until Li Dashan came to the backyard and called them to have breakfast.

It was still snowing today, and the small snowflakes were falling quickly. After breakfast, Li Qiao went straight to the study to study.

Tao Zhu started interviewing, but he hasn't recruited enough people yet.

There is a charcoal basin in the study, there is no coal here in Pingcheng, Li Qiao burns local charcoal.

This way of heating is just enough for Li Qiao. He is a supernatural being, and he is more resistant to cold than ordinary people. He wears thick clothes, and there are two charcoal basins beside him. He is really not at all sitting in the study. cold.

First, review the contents of the Mingzhifu's school examination yesterday, and then continue to recite "Historical Records" according to the plan made before. He has almost finished memorizing "Historical Records", and he will finish it completely before the year.

At noon, Tao Zhu came and asked him what he wanted for lunch.

After thinking for a while, Li Qiao said, "Go to Zheng's house and buy some meat and meatballs, and then prepare yuba, tofu, fungus, and cabbage. Let's have hot pot." "Okay." Tao Zhu had exactly the same idea

.

This kind of weather is indeed suitable for eating hot pot around the stove.

The Zheng family had not only pork but also mutton today. Li Dashan bought ten catties of pork, ten catties of mutton, and ten catties of meatballs, and then carried them back to Li Qiao's house in a basket.

After arriving home, wash what should be washed, cut what should be cut, and what should be marinated.

Two quarters of an hour later, the whole family gathered around the two stoves for dinner.

Zheng Qianqian's belly is already showing, and he is still working at Li Qiao's house, and his workload has not decreased.

Since he became pregnant, except for his increased appetite, there has been no obvious change. He should eat and drink. The word morning sickness has nothing to do with him. Come here every day to make dim sum with Li Dashan.

Li Dashan stood by the stove with a bowl in one hand and a colander in the other to fish things out of the pot.

Mutton rolls, crispy pork, dried tofu, and a few cabbage leaves covered with red oil.

After the bowl was full, he walked to the stove and began to add small ingredients to the bowl.

Zheng Qianqian loves sesame paste, so he put three tablespoons of sesame paste into the bowl and some vinegar.

"Qianqian, here." He handed the bowl to Zheng Qianqian who was sitting next to Li Chuntao.

Zheng Qianqian took the bowl, but her small face was still facing Li Chuntao, and she was giggling: "Sister-in-law, this hairpin on your head is quite unique." On

Li Chuntao's head was stuck a wooden The hairpin, the head of the hairpin is decorated with three plum blossoms made of red silk cloth. The plum blossoms are so delicate that they look real from a distance.

Li Chuntao's skin color was a bit dark because of doing farm work all the year round, but in the past two years of working at Li Qiao's house, her skin has recovered a lot, so it looks good wearing this red plum hairpin.

Li Chuntao heard Zheng Qianqian's words, and nodded generously: "Zhang Tian gave it to me a few days ago, saying that plum blossoms go well with snowy days. Today, it's snowing heavily, so I put them on." "This

is He made it with his own hands, although it is worthless, but it is also his heart."

Li Qiao was standing next to another stove, scooping up pork balls in a pottery basin. Hearing this, he looked up at Li Chuntao.

He saw the hairpin on Li Chuntao's head just now, but he didn't expect it to be given by Zhang Tiansheng.

"Chuntao, a man has no money, and all he can give you is this small favor. Otherwise, what will he do to keep you? Don't be moved casually."

Although Zhang Tiansheng was chosen by him.

However, be wary of all men.

"I know." Li Chuntao immediately smiled when she heard the words: "I'm not moved, I think it looks good, so I put it on."

Isn't it just a wooden hairpin, she can cut it out with a wooden stick.

On the contrary, the three little plum blossoms were quite delicate, somewhat beyond her expectations.

"It's fine if you don't feel moved, but you've already taken his hairpin, what are you?" Li Qiao asked as he went to the stove to add some ingredients for himself.

"I think it's okay. I don't hate him. He is frank and not hypocritical."

Many scholars have strong self-esteem and try to hide their predicament in every possible way, lest others will know.

But Zhang Tiansheng is not like this, poor is poor, busy earning money is busy earning money, every time he comes to see her, he will explain his daily life in the past few days very clearly.

When giving the hairpin, he also made it clear that he could not afford to give a silver hairpin if he had no money, but because he knew how to needle and thread, he bought some silk cloth to make a plum flower hairpin.

Of course, Zhang Tiansheng didn't mean to cry poor, but simply stated what he was doing every day and what he could give.

This feeling is quite strange to Li Chuntao.

It's not exciting, but it's interesting, adding a lot of freshness to her somewhat monotonous day after day.

After hearing Li Chuntao's words, Li Qiao couldn't help raising her eyebrows, yes, it seems that the development is going smoothly.

"Don't spend money on him yet, get in touch with him slowly, don't rush." ​​He urged.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Tao Zhu said, "I think as long as Chuntao is willing, then spend it. It's not that she can't afford it. The most important thing is that Chuntao is happy."

Tao Zhu didn't agree with Li Qiao's words.

Moreover, they obviously chose Zhang Tiansheng first, and now Zhang Tiansheng is very sincere, so Li Chuntao should be sincere too.

"That's right, anyway, Chuntao can afford it." Li Qiao said and laughed: "Chuntao, listen to your brother Zhu, you can do whatever you want based on your feeling." "Yes!"

Li

Chuntao nodded heavily.

"Sister-in-law, I think what Uncle and Uncle Zhu said is reasonable, just listen to it."

Zheng Qianqian said while putting the mutton into his mouth.

Li Chuntao looked at his bulging little face, smiled and nodded: "Okay."

A group of people were eating, when the white pomelo came.

Baiyou is here to buy dim sum and duck products.

Although he was tightly wrapped, he looked sleepy, Tao Zhu couldn't help asking him, but it turned out that he really just woke up.

In this kind of snowy day, of course I'd be lying in bed with Li Dazhong.

He had servants to serve him, originally he planned to eat lunch on the kang, but Li Dazhong's two children came again, arguing for Li Qiao's dim sum and duck products, and he had to buy them, so he ordered coming.

After Tao Zhu heard this, he felt complicated, but he could only go to fill him with snacks and duck products.

After packing, he took the basket and left.

Tao Zhu saw him walking staggeringly, as if he could fall down if the wind blows, so he grabbed his sleeve: "You stay and eat before going back?" "

No, the two children are waiting to eat. Baiyou shook the basket in her hand, smiled and shook her head.

"...Why didn't Brother Dazhong come?" Looking at his tired face, Tao Zhu frowned.

"He has to appease the two babies."

Baiyou smiled, not angry.

As the step-father, when facing the two children, he must first show his attitude. He must first do his utmost to be kind and righteous. If the two children still refuse to accept him, then so be it.

He didn't love Li Dazhong for the sake of loving Wujiu.

To be honest, he is really not angry at this time, it should be Li Dazhong who is angry.

In this kind of weather, he and Li Dazhong stayed on the kang, not simply lying on the bed, when the two children came to knock on the door, Li Dazhong hugged him and kissed him out of anger.

So, now Li Dazhong is holding back his fire.

When he first got married with Li Dazhong, Li Dazhong worried that he was a weak official brother, so once a day it was over.

Later, when winter came, he didn't know what was going on with Li Dazhong, but he started to peek at him, and he didn't care about his frailty at night, so he knew that Li Dazhong had been enduring it all the time.

After experiencing the happiness of being a husband, he will never let Li Dazhong endure it. After this period of time, he and Li Dazhong are in harmony in this aspect, and they are super happy every day.

Li Dazhong's happiness was interrupted just now, and he must be on fire.

That's why he wasn't in a hurry, it was Li Dazhong who was in a hurry.

Baiyou was really not angry, Tao Zhu saw him smiling happily, and could only let him go home after being speechless.

Alas, it's not easy to do the post-father.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look down at his stomach, with a troubled expression on his face.

Before Li Qiao passed the imperial examination, he didn't want to get pregnant at all.

But the current situation is that he can't conceive...

a little bit troubled.

However, this worry is really only a little bit, and when he sits next to Li Qiao and continues to eat hot pot, he has already put this worry behind him.

He is too busy to worry.

After spending three days, he recruited another 50 people. As soon as these 50 people entered the workshop, the duck product workshop's shipments increased sharply, and a thousand ducks could be made every day.

Give half of it to Wangyuelou and half to Fang Shitong.

His family's duck products have long been famous in Fucheng, so after Fang Shitong brought these duck products to Fucheng, they can be sold out in minutes, which is faster than Wangyue Tower.

As a result, Tao Zhu couldn't help but want to recruit people again, the market in Fucheng is huge.

But before he had time to recruit people, the villagers looked for him first.

The duck workshop consumes so many ducks every day, but it takes time for the ducks to grow. If this consumption continues, the male ducks raised by the big guys will not be able to supply the workshop.

As for the female ducks, everyone is reluctant to sell them for the time being, and duck eggs are also a source of income.

Insufficient supply is indeed a problem.

Tao Zhu can only stop thinking about expanding enrollment, but one of the reasons why he started a duck workshop is to solve the problem of duck eggs at the root. At present, the villagers are reluctant to sell female ducks... Forget it, next year, the folks in ten miles and eight villages will be able

to Raise more ducks and less chickens.

After Laba, time moves forward day by day, and the taste of the year becomes stronger day by day.

On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Qiao donated five thousand catties of flour and twenty-eight pigs to the sweet potato workshop in the county, so that the workers could taste meat on the day of the sacrifice.

Li Qiao's action has received praise and thanks from countless people.

On the day of offering sacrifices to the kitchen stove, Tao Zhu also gave new year gifts to the workers of the duck workshop, each with two taels of silver, six catties of dim sum, and a chicken.

This annual gift is definitely considered generous.

The wages of the workers in the duck workshop were fifty cash a day, and now Tao Zhu directly paid two taels of silver, which was equivalent to an extra month's wages.

Plus dim sum and chicken, Tao Zhu is the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva just like Li Qiao, right?

Outsiders may not be clear, but everyone in the duck workshop knows that Tao Zhu runs the duck workshop by himself. Li Qiao only gave advice and support, and the others did not participate.

Therefore, now that Tao Zhu is sending out such a generous gift, they are more grateful to Tao Zhu.

They couldn't help but pray for Tao Zhu in their hearts, Tao Zhu should give birth to a son quickly, although Li Qiao is now hurting Tao Zhu like an eyeball, but after having a son, it is considered that he has real support.

Of course, they didn't mean that Li Qiao would change his mind in the future, but having children is something all husbands have to do. Tao Zhu and Li Qiao have been married for so long but haven't had children, they are anxious.

Tao Zhu didn't know that the workers in the duck shop were worried about him. After offering sacrifices to the stove, he started preparing New Year's goods like the villagers.

It should be steamed, it should be fried, it should be boiled, just like last year, after people from other villages killed pigs, they all came to give New Year gifts.

Knowing that Li Qiao likes to gnaw on parts with less meat and more bones, everyone gave away pig's trotters, ribs, pig's head and so on.

With such a lot of meat, my own family can't finish it. Therefore, his family started to stew pig's trotters and ribs every day. Anyone who wants to eat it from Li's family, Zheng's family, Zhuang's family, and Zhao Mancang's family can come and eat it.

Li Shu feels that the current life is like a dream, the yard smells like meat every day, and people close to her eat whatever she likes, every day is bustling, and the days are so good that she feels dizzy every day.

I'm happy when I don't even dream like this.

Li Shu felt this way, and everyone in Sanliu Village felt the same way, because on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, when the sweet potato workshop was closed, Zhuang Fengshou called everyone to the village entrance to announce something: Li Qiao would teach everyone how to

cook Bacon is taught for free, and the money earned from selling bacon does not need to be distributed to him.

Another profitable business!

This is indeed like a dream.

After the shutdown of the sweet potato workshop, the villagers can earn a small amount of money. Li Qiao is indeed the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva!

Such a landlord, not to mention in reality, has never been seen even in opera scripts.

Li Qiao must fly hard and make a fortune!

But how should I thank Li Qiao? They had already given Li Qiao a New Year gift before, if they gave it again at this time, Li Qiao would definitely not accept it.

But Li Qiao gave everyone another way of making money, except for Li Shu's top quality, who would be willing to take it for nothing?

Something more had to be given.

On the afternoon of the New Year's Eve, according to the custom in Pingcheng, every household will make dumplings, and every family will make a lot of dumplings, not only for tonight, but also for the morning of the first day of the new year.

Hmm... let's just give them dumplings, it's not expensive, and it can express their feelings.

The villagers unanimously wanted to give away dumplings, and now Li Qiao's dumplings are also overflowing.

Li Qiao: "..."

He refused.

But in the face of the enthusiasm of the villagers, his refusal was ineffective.

The villagers put the wrapped dumplings on the steaming grate, and each family gave at least one steaming grate. After entering his house, they ignored his refusal and said to themselves that they would put the dumplings down.

The plump and white dumplings are all made by the villagers themselves, and it is impossible to really put these steaming grates on the ground.

Having no choice, Li Qiao moved the shelves, stools, and tables at home to the yard so that the villagers could put the dumplings.

In cold weather, it can be frozen in the yard, and the storage time will be longer.

"Li Qiao, my house is stuffed with shepherd's purse and pork. Brother Qiu found this shepherd's purse in the mountains. It's the freshest. You and Brother Zhu can try it tonight."

Zhang Xiuhua held a pair of steamed dumplings and said to Li Qiao with a smile.

"Li Qiao, my family makes stuffed pork with dried bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots inside are bought in the county. They cost tens of pennies a catty, but there is a reason why they are expensive. Wrapped in dumplings, they are delicious.

" Buying this kind of dish that is more expensive than pork is all because of you, you and Brother Zhu must try this stuffing tonight." Wang Liang also held

a steaming grate in his hand, with His family's dried bamboo shoots and pork stuffed dumplings.

This stuffing is learned from Wangyuelou. Compared with the dumplings of other families in the village, his family is definitely the only fresh one.

Li Qiao must eat his food!

"Li Qiao, mine is stuffed with shiitake mushrooms and pork..."

"My stuff is made with lamb!"

"My stuff is made with shepherd's purse and eggs, more than half of which are eggs!" "

...Tsk, mine is just ordinary pork with cabbage. But there is a lot of lean meat, and it will never be greasy, you and Zhu Geer can try it." ...

The

villagers have a variety of dumpling fillings, half of which are regular cabbage, pork, radish, pork, etc., and the remaining half are from the past. A trick that has never appeared in the village.

But no matter which one it is, the dumplings are filled with meat.

Li Qiao looked at the dumplings all over the yard, worried about the overflow of dumplings, but also relieved that everyone's life has really improved.

very nice.

He has contributed to this paradise.

With so many dumplings, Li Qiao's family must not be able to finish them, so Li Qiao called Li's, Zheng's, Zhuang's, and Zhao Mancang's families over to eat dumplings.

Not only tonight, but also tomorrow.

Last year's New Year's Day, Li Qiao's house cooked meat, including pig's trotters, sausages, and ribs. He stewed various meats in several pots. It feels like having another wedding banquet with Tao Zhu.

This year, it is still a group of people who come to cook.

But the type of rice has changed from meat to dumplings.

In order to prevent everyone from getting tired of eating, he not only boiled these dumplings, but also steamed them, fried them, and fried them.

The dumpling banquet was well received by everyone, except for the Zhuang family and the Zheng family, the rest of the people had lived a hard life in the past. This kind of white flour dumplings filled with meat was not available even if they wanted to eat them in the past.

They don't feel tired at all!

With the efforts of everyone, it took three days to finish eating the dumplings sent by the villagers.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the weather that had been gloomy for many days turned sunny.

As soon as the weather clears up and the temperature rises significantly, winter is about to pass.

The sweet potato workshop is running again.

The production of sweet potatoes has been reduced this year, and the sweet potato workshops will be completely shut down in half a month.

Although the villagers were reluctant, there was no other way.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu went to the county seat in an ox cart, and it was time for them to receive money from the sweet potato workshop.

When they arrived at the county government, Jiang Zhixian settled the money with them, and then talked about road construction.

Mingzhifu decided to build the official road of Fucheng-Pingcheng into adobe brick road. This road is too long, and the money spent is not a small sum.

The Mingzhi Prefecture originally did not intend to build this road, but the vermicelli business in Pingcheng needed such a road, so the Mingzhifu and Jiangzhi County discussed it and decided to build it.

Road construction requires money, but neither the county government nor the government government can provide money.

If you want to build this road, you have to ask everyone to donate money.

Those in Pingcheng who earned money from vermicelli, as well as people from Fucheng who often came to Pingcheng, became their key donation targets.

After more than a month of hard work, Jiangzhi County raised more than 40,000 taels of silver.

This is not a small sum of money, not only the rich paid for it, but some ordinary people from ordinary families also paid for it.

Building this road is extremely beneficial to Pingcheng, and will attract more traders from other places in the future, so even ordinary people are willing to pay for it.

Of course, it's not much, one penny, a few pennies, a dozen pennies, even if added together, it's not much.

The ability to make up more than 40,000 taels of silver is mainly due to the rich.

For example, shopkeeper Wang directly donated five thousand taels.

Shopkeeper Zhao was also very active and donated three thousand taels.

Jiangzhi County, as the parent official, also donated one thousand taels of silver.

There are also those large and small shops in the county, as well as large and small landlords. Some of these people are voluntary, some are forced, but regardless of voluntary or forced, I talked to them in Jiangzhi County and donated a thousand taels In the face of the facts, they are very supportive of road construction.

Therefore, the rich pooled 40,000 taels of silver.

There is no news from the Mingzhi Mansion, but there are many rich people in the city, and the money raised by the Mingzhi Mansion must be more than that of the Jiangzhi County.

Li Qiao knew about the road construction. Although he and Tao Zhu didn't go to the county seat a few years ago, countless people passed the news to him about such a big event.

He wanted to donate money at the time, but Jiangzhi County refused. Jiangzhi County said that he had already repaired the road from Pingcheng to Sanliu Village, and the official road from Pingcheng to Fucheng did not need his contribution for the time being.

When it is really repaired, if there is a shortage of money, then he will donate some more symbolically.

Jiangzhi County didn't want Li Qiao to spend too much money, so the holy majesty's imperial pen plaque clearly stated: there must be Yuqing.

Li Qiao must be rich!

If Li Qiao spent countless sums of money during his tenure, it would be nothing but Yuqing.

He didn't want to leave a bad impression on the Holy Majesty because of these small details.

Regarding Jiangzhi County's brain circuit, Li Qiao was a little dumbfounded, but since Jiangzhi County didn't allow him to donate money to build roads, he could concentrate on digging the river.

After the shutdown of the sweet potato workshop, the villagers have more free time to dig ditches and continue to dig wells.

After experiencing the tragedy of sweet potato production reduction in the past year, people in Shiliba Village will be very positive about it.

"You can do it freely, but don't take up too much of your energy. This year's college exam is scheduled for the end of April, and studying is your top priority."

Jiang Zhixian urged.

"Students know, adults don't worry."

Li Qiao responded.

There is nothing more important than his reading.

Back in the village, Li Qiao approached Zhuang Fengshou. He was going to study next time, so the digging of ditches and wells could only be organized by Zhuang Fengshou.

After the shutdown of the sweet potato workshop, not only the people in Sanliu Village, but also people in the surrounding villages became busy.

Li Qiao taught the people in Sanliu Village how to make bacon, and Shiliba Village set off another pig raising boom.

Tao Zhu's duck workshop is booming, and there are a lot of people raising ducks in Shiliba Village.

If it wasn't for Li Qiao's repeated emphasis not to raise more ducks to avoid infection and end everyone's hard work, then many people would like to set up a duck farm.

In the midst of this bustle, work began on digging ditches.

A light rain falls, covering the brown earth with green. Spring has really come, the temperature rises, the vegetation turns green, and everything looks bright and vibrant.

There are only two months left until Li Qiao's hospital exam.
