Chapter 669: Chapter 669: Laosan’s Wife is Capable
"The ointment I’m using, I’m trying it out, what scent do you like?"
Fang Meiyun wasn’t sure about this.
"A scent that’s not too strong."
"Okay."
Mrs. Zhao and a few others were also lying in bed, speaking softly.
"Mom, Little Aunt, are you sitting in a sleeper or in the hard seats?"
Mrs. Zhao was close to Yun Xiaoxiao, though not under the same quilt, "Your second brother bought us sleeper tickets, otherwise, we would have come earlier."
Second Uncle Zhao Tianhai?
"Right, elder brother wrote a letter before, asking about the rabbit farming, how is it going now?"
Little Aunt Zhao started talking about this, "In the village, some people are following Xiao Hai in raising these rabbits, and some are not willing. Now the rabbits have grown quite a bit. We are raising them according to the book you guys sent back, and we’ve also raised quite a number."
They had come to the Capital City, while the eldest’s family had stayed at home.
"We could sell them before the New Year, but we plan not to, instead opting for breeding."
Yun Xiaoxiao wasn’t surprised at all.
The first batch of rabbits certainly wouldn’t be sold.
Rabbits grow fast, and their gestational period is less than two months; they can breed every one to two months, meaning rabbits can reproduce three to four times a year.
"The problem this winter is finding green grass, but we planted cabbage, chop it and let it dry, then feed it to the rabbits. I heard Xiao Hai say that we could sell the rabbits after three months of raising them; if fed well, even in just over two months, and they don’t need grains, just grass."
The countryside lacks many things, but not grass.
However, there were still quite a few people adopting a wait-and-see attitude.
"If we raise a lot of rabbits and can’t sell them, we could open a processing plant and then sell the processed food nationwide."
This idea excited a few of the women.
"Talking about this now might be a bit premature."
But Yun Xiaoxiao disagreed, "It’s not premature; this is a fallback plan. By the time the entire team is raising rabbits, and if we can’t sell them, we can’t just watch helplessly as they fail to sell. Starting a food processing plant could alleviate this issue. Separating and selling rabbit meat and rabbit fur could be killing two birds with one stone, of course, provided the rabbits we raise are those with abundant meat and good fur."
Little Aunt Zhao: Going to college makes one think differently from those who haven’t."
With such a cousin-in-law, should their own kids worry about not leading a good life?
Mrs. Zhao: "Laosan’s Wife can handle things well; if you ask her, she can really figure out solutions for you."
Now the team is raising rabbits, and next year they plan to plant medicinal herbs, even if no one goes to work at the factory, they can still make quite a bit of money.
Zhao Xinxin came straight to Yun Xiaoxiao’s place when she returned.
Six people crammed onto one bed; they lay sideways, and it was still a bit cramped.
Young people could sleep on the bed, but for the older ones, in such cold as in the Capital City, how could they withstand it?
Little Uncle Zhao and the three others, for the first time in the Capital City, really felt the winter cold, and it was truly very cold.
Grandma Fang got up, waking up Mrs. Zhao and Little Aunt Zhao who were sleeping next to her.
"This early?"
They usually woke up according to the daylight outside, and at this time, it seemed the sky hadn’t brightened yet.
"It’s not early anymore."
Mrs. Zhao turned on the lamp next to her and saw the clock on the table, which showed it was already past six o’clock.
She got up as well.
Team Leader Zhao and Little Uncle Zhao also got up.
"What time do they start work?"
"Eight o’clock, but usually, they have to go in advance."
The two men couldn’t help much, so they just stood by the stove in the kitchen.
Fortunately, the kitchen was large; otherwise, it would have felt a bit crowded with all of them staying in the kitchen.
