Chapter 61 Planning for the future
Si Ningning thought very clearly that Beijing was not her original "home", let alone her home.
In the future, if nothing unexpected happens, she will stay in the Educated Youth Point for a long time. So, the Educated Youth Point can be regarded as a temporary home.
Since it is a home, it must look like a home.
Si Ningning went directly to the production team leader's house. Luo Daqing came over at noon, and Zhao Hongbing entertained him at home. He talked about the mountains and sipped a small cup, and it took him a while to finish the meal.
As soon as Luo Daqing left, Zhao Hongbing also went to the fields. Only Chen Lianmi was still at home, squatting by the well in the yard washing dishes.
After a brief run-in in the morning, Chen Lianmi's resistance to Si Ningning was no longer so obvious, and there was a little more smile on her face, "What's wrong? What's going on?"
"Auntie." Si Ningning bit her lower lip and smiled, with a kind and innocent look on her face. She rolled up her sleeves and knelt down to help wash the dishes together. "I don't have anything else, I just want to ask Auntie." Son, the members of the commune have chickens at home, can we raise them?”
Chen Lianmi fell into deep thought.
She didn't refuse the first time, and Si Ningning knew there was something wrong with this. She blinked and said with a smile, "We just came here. We work in the fields to earn work points in exchange for food rations, but there is no land or vegetables... If we can raise chickens, we Can you cultivate your own vegetable plot?”
Chen Lianmi clicked her tongue and said, "It should be possible to raise chickens, but you can't raise too many! Each member of the commune can only raise three chickens. Although there are many of you educated youths, you all live in the same house." Under the roof, there can be at most two households of educated youths, male and female, raising six animals in total. "
“As for the vegetable plot, I’m afraid it won’t work…”
The fields are all owned by the public, and each household in the team is assigned two points of private land. It is good.
The rations grown on the private land and the rations received from each quarter's harvest are not enough to feed an old family. In this way, how can there be room for educated youths?
Who is willing to make room for land?
Si Ningning didn't want to embarrass the big guys, but she still tried to argue: "Auntie, I don't mean to ask the captain to demarcate a space for us from the team... There is a huge open space in front of the educated youth point, and it would be a pity to leave it empty... I I just wanted to come over and ask, would it work if we opened a small plot of land on the edge to grow vegetables?"
Chen Lianmi's frown slightly relaxed, "It should be possible, but I can't give you an accurate answer. I'll ask my family about it this evening. When I have accurate information, I'll tell you! "
Si Ningning’s deer eyes flashed with joy, and her little face smiled like a flower, “Thank you, Auntie!”
After saying that, he stopped smiling and said coquettishly: "As for the chicks, I also asked my aunt to help me keep them. I want, no, no, it's an educated youth spot. I want six of them!"
Si Ningning had a cute and lovable face, and the words she spoke made it clear that she was someone who knew how to get along. Chen Lianmi unconsciously fell in love with her, and immediately nodded and said with a kind smile: "Okay. , I’ll take care of this matter. I’ll let you know when I get the letter later.”
“Thank you, Auntie!” Si Ningning said her thanks again in a smooth tone.
By chance, the dishes were all washed. Chen Lianmi waved her hand, "Okay! I have to go to work tomorrow, so go back and rest! Look at you, half of your sleeves are wet."
Si Ningning's sleeves were narrow sleeves from the shoulders, and loose bell sleeves from the forearms down. She had not rolled them properly just now, and they fell down while washing the dishes and got a large piece wet.
Smile and say it's okay, but the matter has been taken care of. Si Ningning knew that Chen Lianmi would have to go to the field soon, so she didn't have to stay long and walked back to the educated youth point with small steps to share the news with everyone.
