After the beginning of spring, everyone started to get busy again.The team caught new piglets, 10 in total.Based on past experience, not all piglets can be raised.Every household also catches new piglets and raises them until the end of the year to sell them, which is the family's main source of income besides work points.

Ye Qi also caught one this year.The money Ye Qi earned from his work points in previous years was all used to buy food, otherwise he wouldn't have survived at all.This year I have more work points, and with the money I earn from raising rabbits, I can catch a pig.Externally, it is only said that the money saved in the past few years is just enough.

Yan Yan has been here for more than half a year, and Ye Qi and her life have improved greatly.Needless to say, Yan Yan, apart from the fact that the living conditions are currently difficult to change, other aspects are very good.Ye Qi is much better than before. At least he can have enough food and clothing and plenty of money.You can also read.Years ago, just before the final exam of the first semester of fifth grade, Yan Yan accompanied Ye Qi to school. He passed the final exam of the first semester of fifth grade and officially became a fifth grade student.Because of his special situation, Teacher Cui also helped him get the opportunity to not attend classes but only take exams.That time, Ye Qi was really moved to tears. He looked at Teacher Cui and bowed deeply.Teacher Cui was also moved, and he said generously: "Good boy, study hard, and if you have any difficulties, just come to the teacher."

This year, Ye Qi is even busier. He has to work in the fields to earn work points, weed pigs to raise pigs, raise rabbits and chickens, study with Yan Yan, and practice boxing. It can be said that he is extremely busy.He was the only one in Ye Qi's family, so he couldn't avoid working in the fields. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how he could survive alone.

Originally, Yan Yan could help with the pigweed hunting, but Ye Qi disagreed. In his opinion, Yan Yan was thin and had to help the family earn work points at a young age. It was really pitiful. He couldn't help Yan Yan now. What, how can I add another burden to her?Therefore, not only did he not let Yan Yan help him shoot pigweed, he also took the initiative to help Yan Yan shoot a basket to make her feel a little more relaxed.It made Yan Yan dumbfounded.He seems to have forgotten that when he started working in the fields to earn work points, he was even younger than Yan Yan is now.

Ye Qi didn't dare to raise chickens at home. After all, chickens are not as quiet as rabbits.He and Yan Yan built a chicken coop with adobe next to a depression in the mountain, and then surrounded a large area of ​​land around the chicken coop with a fence. The fence was so dense that even the chickens couldn't get out.Yan Yan also took out the seeds of a thorn bush from the space, scattered them along the fence, and used spiritual power to stimulate their growth, leaving only an open space in the hidden place for people to enter and exit.Every time he came later, Yan Yan would give a little bit of spiritual power to the thorn bushes so that they would grow quickly without being too outrageous. Anyway, every time he came, they would grow much taller than the last time.This has become a natural chicken farm, which is not easy to be discovered.Yan Yan and Ye Qi spent a lot of time and energy building it bit by bit before finally getting it done.Of course, the sense of accomplishment is also full.

When he was halfway through the construction of the chicken farm in the mountains, Ye Qi asked Grandma Zhou, who was good at hatching chickens in the village, to help hatch 20 chicks. Grandma Zhou also advised him: "Don't raise so many chickens now, in case someone finds out and reports If you don't, your eggs will be wasted." Grandma Zhou also had good intentions, but Ye Qi also had a way. He pitifully said to Grandma Zhou: "Miscellaneous, there is nothing I can do about it. I'll try to raise it first. It's almost grown. I took it to see if I could exchange it for some fabric and cotton, otherwise I would have nothing to wear. Besides, I may not be able to feed myself."

Grandma Zhou sighed after hearing this. This child is really pitiful.She agreed and only charged Ye Qi for the eggs and asked him to come and pick up the chicks in more than 20 days.

When the chicken farm was built, the chickens were just hatching.After raising them at home for a few days, he left one at home, and Ye Qi carefully put the rest in cages and carried them to the newly built chicken coop.The chickens are still small, so they can only be kept in chicken coops at first, and they dare not raise them freely.Only when Ye Qi or Yan Yan came to the mountain to see them, they would let them out to let the wind blow, and then catch them back when they left.

Ye Qi is very lucky. Among the 20 chicks, there are 15 hens and 5 roosters, and they all grow well.When summer arrives, the pullets begin to lay eggs.15 eggs per day, plus a hen that Ye Qi originally had at home, he can harvest 16 eggs per day.Before the hens started laying eggs and the roosters started trampling on the hens, Yan Yan separated the roosters and hens to feed them.However, the one Ye Qi left at home happened to be a rooster, so she ignored it. Later, all the eggs laid by the hens at home were used to hatch chicks, which further expanded the scale of the breeding farm.

It is now 68. Ye Qi and Yan Yan are living a smooth life. They have saved more and more money. After all, rabbits reproduce at an alarming rate.The two rabbits raised by Ye Qi came out of Yan Yan's space, so they were very strong and reproduced very quickly. The rabbits were all raised without any death.In the second half of the year, the income from raising chickens is also very considerable.Ye Qi would go to the county town every more than a month, sell rabbits and eggs, and then disguise himself as going to the black market to buy some fine grains and meat, and come back to improve the lives of himself and Yan Yan.At first, Yan Yan was worried and followed him twice. Later, he saw that Ye Qi was really brave and careful and could do well on his own, so he stopped following him.

Fortunately, Yan Yan put the ignore charm on himself and Ye Qi as soon as he arrived, so that everyone could subconsciously ignore them. Otherwise, no matter how careful they were, they would inevitably make mistakes.

In the summer, Yan Yan and Ye Qi successfully passed the fifth grade final exam and graduated from elementary school to junior high school.Holding the admission notice from junior high school, Ye Qi was so excited that he didn't know how to express it.A year ago, he couldn't read a few Chinese characters. Now, he can go to junior high school.Yan Yan is also happy for himself and Ye Qi.However, they still had no way to enroll in school normally, so they could only continue to fight to retain their student status and not go to class. They still had to ask Teacher Cui about this matter.

During the summer vacation, Yan Yan and Ye Qi carried 20 eggs in a wicker basket they made themselves and went to Teacher Cui's house.Teacher Cui lives in the town, not far from the village. They can walk there in half an hour.Teacher Cui was very happy to see them and quickly called them into the room.Teacher Cui's husband and son have gone to work, and she is the only one at home.After asking them to sit down and giving them a bowl of sugar water, Teacher Cui asked them, "Are you here to attend junior high school?"

Ye Qi was a little embarrassed, but still mustered up the courage to say: "Yes, teacher. We have both been admitted to junior high school, but we still can't go to school every day. So, we want to talk to the teachers in the junior high school about the situation. We strive to be able to study at home. But we don’t know the teachers in the junior high school, so we would like to ask you to help us find a way." Yan Yan also agreed.

The teacher knew their situation very well and agreed directly.Teacher Cui has been teaching and educating people for more than 20 years and is very fond of motivated children.Then he said to them: "You two drink the water, I will take you to meet the dean of the first grade of junior high school. He also lives in the town. He will be on summer vacation and should be at home."

Yan Yan and Ye Qi didn't expect to see their junior high school teacher so soon. They were very surprised. They quickly drank the water in the cup and looked at Teacher Cui eagerly.It made Teacher Cui burst into laughter.Knowing that the children couldn't hold their breath, he followed their wishes and got up.

The eggs brought by Yan Yan and Ye Qi were placed next to the bench where they were sitting. They didn't mention the eggs, so they thought they could just put them down quietly. Teacher Cui refused.I made the basket myself, so I didn’t need to take it home.Unexpectedly, after Yan Yan and Ye Qi went out, Teacher Cui picked up the wicker basket. Although it was covered with a little grass, the eggs inside could still be vaguely seen.Teacher Cui felt very distressed and felt that the two children had finally saved some eggs and should keep them for themselves as they grew taller. However, she also felt that bringing some gifts to Teacher Liu's house would show the courtesy of the two children, so she took them Went to Teacher Liu’s house together with the eggs.

Teacher Cui took them across two streets and came to the door of a house.Teacher Cui knocked on the door first and asked, "Is Teacher Liu at home?"

"Here, who is it?" came a female voice, footsteps came from afar, and the person who opened the door was a young woman in her thirties. "Sister Cui, come in quickly. Why are you free today?" the woman asked.

Teacher Cui took Ye Qi and Yan Yan into the courtyard and said as they walked: "I have something to do with your old Liu." He also introduced both parties: "This is Teacher Liu's wife. She is a teacher at the primary school in our town. Her surname is Zhao.”

"Hello, Teacher Zhao!" Yan Yan and Yan Yan quickly greeted each other.

"Hello." Teacher Zhao replied politely.

Teacher Cui continued: "These two children should go to junior high school at the beginning of school, but their situation is a bit special, so I came to talk to your old Liu."

A group of people entered the house, and Teacher Cui put down the eggs and said, "These are saved by the two children to replenish the health of your children." Teacher Liu's children go to the primary school in the town, and they should have run out to play now.

After Teacher Cui finished speaking, Yan Yan and Ye Qi looked at each other for a moment.Then I heard a male voice: "It's not easy for a child to save a few eggs. Take them back and eat them yourself. If you really have any difficulties, can I, as a teacher, help you solve them?"

It was Teacher Liu who was speaking. He had just returned from the backyard after washing his hands. He also planted some vegetables in his backyard and was watering the vegetable patch just now.The yard is not big, so he has already heard what Teacher Cui said.After greeting Teacher Cui, he asked directly: "What do you want to tell me?"

Teacher Cui introduced the situation of Yan Yan and Ye Qi, emphasized the two children's determination to study and improve, and talked about the difficulties that they really couldn't overcome.Teacher Liu pondered for a while and then said: "There will be another exam on the day we enter school. They both have to take this exam. After the exam, if they pass, they can study at home. Just come on time to take the midterm and final exams. As for I have to apply to the school for tuition and miscellaneous fees to see if I can waive them for you. But I can’t guarantee this. I’ll wait until you take the entrance exam. If you have good grades, your chances of being waived will be greater. .”

Teacher Liu is giving them a heads up.Yan Yan and Ye Qi looked at each other and quickly stood up to say thank you!

"You're welcome. You two just go back and study hard. Getting a good score in the entrance test is better than anything else." Teacher Liu said.

The two quickly agreed.The matter of enrolling in junior high school was settled in this way, which solved a big problem.As for the basket of eggs, they were left at Teacher Liu's house after all. Yan Yan and Ye Qi ran away quickly after saying goodbye, and Teacher Liu couldn't run after them.He could only smile and sigh with Teacher Cui, "These two children." Teacher Cui also smiled and said to him: "They are two good children."
