There are not many people raising pigs in the village. After all, not every household can raise pigs.

It’s not that I don’t want to raise them, it’s that I can’t afford them.

Their Banpo Village has a quota of twelve task pigs. One of the two pigs of the Old Song family is a task pig. However, if the weight of the task pig does not meet the standard, the second pig they raise will also be counted as a task pig.

of places.

Therefore, raising pigs requires dedication.

This means that the old Song family does not need to work hard for work points, otherwise, they would not be able to raise two pigs.

On weekdays, Song Laifu and Li Guilan would leave work early to cut pig grass to ensure that the task pigs could grow stronger. If there was no pig grass, they would have to feed grain.

Even sweet potatoes, potatoes and the like can fill your stomach.

If no one has anything to eat, who will care about pigs?

The memories of being hungry in the past few years are still deep in the village.

Things have gotten better in the past two years, but the villagers still feel that feeding grain to pigs is too much of a waste.

Even Song Laifu and Li Guilan had the same idea.

It's just that with their mentality, the pig never grows fat enough.

Song Juan knew that it would be too difficult to persuade the second elder to change her mind, so naturally she would not say this. After she went up the mountain to cut pigweed a few more times, the second elder would probably change her mind a little bit when she saw her working so hard.

After all, the two elders are reluctant to let their precious daughter work too hard.

Song Juan quickly found a good piece of grass, picked up the sickle and started working.

Although her predecessor didn't do much work of cutting pigweed, she still understood the basic operations. Naturally, Song Juan wouldn't make a fool of herself with her movements, but her speed was a bit slow.

Compared to the nimble Zhao Meilan next to her, Song Juan is like a rookie.

Zhao Meilan didn't want to be so fast, but she had to be fast.

After all, Song Juan could cut as much pigweed as she wanted without being scolded when she got home, but she was not good at it. If she couldn't cut a solid basket of pigweed, she would definitely be punished by her patriarchal parents when she got home.

She would be scolded severely, and if they were in a bad mood, she would not even want to eat.

Song Juan didn't care how fast Zhao Meilan was, she cut the pigweed leisurely according to her own rhythm.

She stuffed grass, vines, wild vegetables, whatever the pigs could eat into the basket on her back.

This is called nutritional balance.

Although Song Juan is not sure whether her idea is correct.

But, who cares?

Zhao Meilan quickly filled the basket with grass, and then saw Song Juan cutting the vines of a large bowl of flowers as if playing.

"Juan'er, if you cut a big bowl of flowers, when will it be able to fill a basket?"

"I'm telling you, it's faster to cut the grass."

"I'm not in a hurry!"

Song Juan glanced at Zhao Meilan and spoke calmly.

"But, the weather will get hotter soon and the sun will get stronger. Aren't you afraid of getting a tan?"

"I came out with my hat!"

Song Juan pulled out a sun visor made by Li Guilan from her jacket pocket. Although it wasn't a very good style, this hat was excellent for sun protection.

"..."

Seeing the hat that Song Juan took out, Zhao Meilan didn't know what to say.

"How about I help you?"

Zhao Meilan didn't understand what was going on with Song Juan today. In the past, she had long shouted to go back. But today, the basket on her back was mostly filled with pigweed, and she hadn't even shouted to go back yet.

"No, just take a break, I'll take my time!"

Song Juan didn't want Zhao Meilan to help. After all, Zhao Meilan's help needed to be repaid.

"Then, I'll go back first!"

"When the sun gets stronger, these pigweeds will wilt, and my father will scold me!"

Zhao Meilan watched the sun getting stronger and stronger, and prepared to return to the village.

Don't look at what she said about Song Juan being afraid of getting tanned by the sun. In fact, Zhao Meilan herself was also afraid of being tanned.

In the past, Zhao Meilan didn't pay attention to this.

But after the educated youth came to the village, Zhao Meilan met those female educated youth from the city. Looking at their fair faces and her own dark and rosy face, she instinctively felt inferior.

Therefore, she has been working hard to make herself white.

Needless to say, after she consciously paid attention to this, she really became a lot whiter.

But compared to Song Juan, who always pays attention to protection, she is still far behind.

Song Juan's complexion is fairer and tenderer than those female educated youths.

Who allowed Song Juan to be born in the Song family? She has parents who love her so much, and four brothers who also love and protect this little girl.

To put it bluntly, Song Juan was born in a honeypot.

"Okay, you go first!"

"I'll just get some wild vegetables."

Song Juan replied naturally.

In fact, she was not only planning to get some wild vegetables, she was also planning to walk around the pine forest in front to see if she could pick up pine needle mushrooms.

It rained a lot in the past few days. Every summer, after heavy rain, pine needle mushrooms will grow under the pine trees.

This thing is very delicious.

Song Juan also reached the mountain and saw the pine forest, and then she remembered this delicacy.

If Zhao Meilan keeps following her, Song Juan really doesn't want to go to the pine forest. Once the pine needle mushroom is really discovered, Zhao Meilan will definitely get a share of the pie, which Song Juan is not happy about.

It is no longer possible for them to be friends.

If it wasn't for the need for acting, Song Juan would have completely fallen out with Zhao Meilan.

However, there is no rush.

After waiting for this period of time, she will naturally find an opportunity to break away from Zhao Meilan. Song Juan is really worried about her acting skills when she talks to her every day.

…

Soon, after watching Zhao Meilan leave with a solid basket of pigweed on her back, Song Juan took the sickle and ran briskly towards the pine forest on the hilltop in front of her.

There are many pine forests in Banpo Village, including some old pine trees.

There is a thick layer of pine needles accumulated over the years under the pine tree.

When Song Juan approached the pine forest, she shivered.

Because there are a lot of pine silkworms on the pine trees.

These pine silkworms are quite big, and some of them have already begun to spin silk and form cocoons.

In other words, in a few days, you can go up the mountain to cut the pine pupae.

Pine chrysalis is a more delicious delicacy than pine needle mushroom.

It's just that the flying hairs of pine pupae are poisonous, and it will make you itchy if it touches your body.

In the past, my predecessor was only allowed to eat and was never allowed to touch.

There are indeed pine needle mushrooms under the pine trees, but there are too many pine silkworms on the trees. If you encounter or get the poisonous hairs on the pine silkworms, you are going to suffer.

Song Juan swallowed her saliva and finally decided to retreat temporarily, waiting for her to get home and prepare her equipment, and then come back to pick up these pine needle mushrooms.

She is determined to eat this delicacy!

Song Juan stayed away from the pine forest and continued to cut pigweed.

But this time, her speed was much faster, and the backpack was quickly filled.

But when she carried the basketful of pigweed on her back, her shoulders were so painful that it hurt, but Song Juan still did not throw away the pigweed in the basket.

In this era, it is impossible not to suffer at all.

Although she could lie down flat, she really didn't need to.

As a girl from a rural background, since she does not have the life of a princess, she cannot suffer from the princess's disease.

Moreover, how could she get her parents to change the way they raise pigs if she didn't suffer a little?
