Rebirth of a Little Cannon Fodder

Chapter 124 Breeding Farm

Since the cowshed was renovated, they can now sleep well at night. Although the renovated cowshed is not as good as their previous home, it is still good that it is no longer leaky.

"Old Tang, you have to say, this house has a unique charm to live in now." Zheng Qingyang sighed as he looked around the newly built house.

"Old Zheng is indeed a cultured man. Even at this time, he can still find joy in adversity." The speaker was Su Zhengsheng. He admired Zheng Qingyang very much. He had ended up like this, but he was able to get out of it so quickly.

"Old Su, life is only a few decades long. You and I are almost at the age of knowing our destiny. Why not live a little more freely? Compared to the past, we are down and out now, but isn't it our good fortune to be able to come to this brigade?"

Zheng Qingyang was right. Although their current status was not good, their food, clothing, housing and transportation were indeed better than those of many people who had been sent down.

Although I am still dealing with livestock, I don’t have to suffer from other malicious intentions.

Su Zhengsheng knew what Zheng Qingyang said made sense, but he just couldn't change his mindset for the moment. To this day, he still didn't know why his wife reported him, even though they were still very happy.

Looking at Su Zhengsheng's expression changing from time to time, everyone knew what he was thinking. Not everyone can accept the betrayal of their partner.

"Okay, since we are living comfortably now, we should focus more on the farm. After all, only when the farm is well run can we live better." Tang Jun said these words to wake up others, so that they would not let their hearts relax due to the recent comfortable life.

"Don't worry, Old Tang. We all know why we live so well. So we will definitely take good care of the farm and these little guys."

Zheng Qingyang was the first to make the promise, and the others nodded in agreement.

Seeing that everyone hadn't become irritable due to the improved living conditions, Tang Jun also breathed a sigh of relief. They were now living together and relying on each other, and the most worrying thing was a lack of unity. If there were still internal conflicts, it would be impossible to live peacefully.

Although they now live in the farm, these men take turns sleeping in the small room in the chicken coop every day to take care of the chicks.

Tang Jun was on duty today. Looking at the weather outside, he went to the chicken coop early.

After entering the chicken coop, he first mixed food for the chicks, gave them water, and then checked the temperature inside the coop. Then he went back to the kang in the outer room to rest.

It wasn't long before Tang Jun lay down when he heard some noise outside. He stood up, dressed, opened the door, and checked, but found nothing. After thinking for a while, Tang Jun returned to the house and wondered if he was old, which was why he was hallucinating. He listened attentively for a long time, but still heard nothing, so he lay down to rest.

"How did you get home? Are the chicks from the farm easy to get?"

"Don't mention it. I almost got discovered by the old man in the bullpen the moment I walked in. If I hadn't grown up here, I really might have been discovered."

It turned out that Tang Jun had not misheard just now. Someone really was planning to attack the farm, but he just failed.

The next morning, Tang Jun was still a little worried about what happened the previous night, so he got up early and went to check the farm. However, after a night of wind and snow, Tang Jun didn't find any traces of footprints. He only saw a low bush. After thinking about it, Tang Jun rearranged the bushes and returned to the farm.

"Mr. Tang, how was Xiaoji yesterday?" Qiao Chuchu had been asking about Xiaoji's condition since morning. After all, this was related to the purse of the entire team and the success of her first entrepreneurial venture.

"Not bad. I've fed and watered the chicks as you requested, and kept them warm. The chicks are in good overall condition."

After hearing Tang Jun's answer, Qiao Chuchu's tense heart relaxed a little. After all, now is not a good time to raise chickens. It's just that the team is not busy as a whole, so they have the time and energy to build a farm. The farm can't be left empty after it's built, so they chose to raise the first batch of chickens at this time.

The chicks are in good condition now, so Qiao Chuchu can feel relieved. Although she has 009's plug-in, 009 likes to wander around recently, and it's quite troublesome to find it, so the best thing is that the chicks are fine.

Qiao Chuchu went in to look at the chicks eating, silently calculating the time. The chicks were less than two weeks old now, and if the egg-laying season was fast approaching, they would start laying eggs in about four months. Generally, the peak egg-laying period for chicks is once a year, so if they wanted to keep up, they would have to start a second brooding period in the second half of this year.

If you think about it, there are quite a lot of things to do this year. After all, it is the first year and many things are not yet on track.

There are only 500 chickens this year, so the old men in the cowshed, along with myself, Lin Xue, and Ma Ning, are barely enough. However, with the egg-laying and chick-rearing seasons, manpower is a bit tight. I think I'll have to discuss this with the team leader someday. We'll see if we should hire more people so we don't have to fumble with them at the last minute.

Thinking of this, Qiao Chuchu felt a little overwhelmed. Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time. Qiao Chuchu first comforted herself, and then told Mr. Tang about the chicken's diet structure and temperature precautions for the past few days.

After arranging these things, Qiao Chuchu returned home.

She had promised someone that she would write to them often, so she was going home to write to someone now.

As soon as she arrived at the door, Qiao Chuchu saw the postman.

"Qiao Zhiqing is back. There is a letter for you today, so I delivered it to you." Seeing Qiao Chuchu approaching, the postman handed over Qiao Chuchu's letter.

"Thank you, Comrade Zhang. Please wait a moment." Qiao Chuchu took the letter, said something, and went into the house.

After a while, he took out a bag of snacks and handed it to the postman.

"Qiao Zhiqing, you are too polite. Every time you come here to deliver a letter, you are always busy. I feel embarrassed."

"It's okay. This is the steamed cake I made myself. Take it back and try it at home."

Qiao Chuchu knew that the postman would usually wait a few days before delivering registered mail. If someone was in a hurry, they would go to the post office to pick up the mail themselves, but her letter was delivered immediately. She couldn't be naive and had to show her appreciation when it was necessary.

"Okay, then I'll take it back for my family to try." The postman didn't bother to be polite with Qiao Chuchu and took the snacks.
