Today, because the chicks are too small to forage for themselves, they are fed by Lan Dazhuang at a fixed point every day.

More than a hundred chicks eat a lot of food every day. The wheat that their family distributed from the trade union last year, and the wheat bran that they saved when peeling and grinding flour, have now gone to less than half.

As these chicks grow in size, the remaining wheat bran won't last long!

So the biggest problem right now is that the chicks are running out of rations——

Lan Shu didn't notice this situation before.

She didn't know the grain storage situation at home at all, let alone the amount of wheat bran stored.

Now that she heard the elder brother talk about difficulties, she should solve them in time.

When Lan Dazhuang came back in the evening, Lan Shu gave all of the more than 1,400 yuan left over from their brother and sister's investment to Lan Dazhuang.

"Brother, we don't have any wheat bran in our house, so go collect some from other people in the village."

Lan Shu was in charge of all the money before.

And it was the first time Lan Dazhuang saw so much money.

For ordinary people, his eyes might have been straightened long ago, but Lan Dazhuang has no interest in money. Now he is full of rations for the young chickens.

He took out a few from a stack of big reunions, and stuffed the rest back into his sister.

"Wheat bran is cheap, and you can get it for six or seven cents a catty. This money is enough to buy a lot. You keep the rest, little girl. I can't spend it if you give it too much."

Lan Dazhuang said so, but Lan Shu didn't see any relaxed expression on his face.

"Brother, is there anything else?" She looked at Lan Dazhuang suspiciously.

If nothing happened, Lan Dazhuang wouldn't be frowning anymore.

When asked, Lan Dazhuang sighed.

"Although we have money now, it is not easy to collect wheat bran."

"In the past few years, all the villages have been short of food. A large part of the annual harvest of the arable land in the village has been handed over to the public grain, and the rest will be distributed to each household according to the centimeters that everyone usually accumulates from working in the fields."

"In the village, children have no ability to work, women have little strength, do little work, and don't get much food. After a year, many people's food is not enough to eat, so they mix wheat bran in their rations. Eat it together, although the taste is a bit rough, but it can fill you up!"

So, wheat bran is something to feed the chickens in her house, but it is food to fill the stomach in other people's houses?

Upon hearing the news, Lan Shu immediately understood why her elder brother was worried.

Those who can sell wheat bran for money must be in good condition and don't worry about food.

But there are not many such people in the village.

"I'll try to watch it these days." Lan Dazhuang sighed again and again.

From his tone, Lan Shu could tell that the elder brother didn't have much hope.

As for this matter, Lan Shu had a longer-term thinking.

Their free-range chicken farm now only has more than a hundred young chickens, and they have to worry about food. After that, when they expand the scale and raise a thousand, ten thousand, or even more, they need wheat bran. The quantity is astonishing!

Without low-cost wheat bran to feed the chickens, their free-range chicken farm project cannot continue.

So this problem must be solved!

In the current situation, if the village cannot collect them, they will go to other villages to collect them. Maybe there will be food for the chickens in a short time, but not necessarily in the future.

But the more than one hundred chickens on the mountain were not hungry.

Suddenly, Lan Shu thought of a way——

It is actually not difficult to collect a large amount of wheat bran, as long as you go to a county where every household is not short of food, you can collect as much as you want?

Lan Shu originally planned to go to the county because of the sanitary napkin.

Now, taking advantage of this opportunity, she is going to go ahead of schedule!

Knowing that the younger sister is going to the county seat, Lan Dazhuang is not at ease.

In the evening, when Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang came back, they also heard about their daughter going to the city.

The two of them immediately worried that their daughter went to the county alone and had no one to rely on. What if they got into trouble, what if they were bullied?

In this regard, Lan Shu had already thought of a way.

"I'm not going alone, Xiaobai will go with me." Lan Shu said in front of her family.

Xiaobai only learned about this from Sister Lan before Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang came back tonight.

Sister Lan wanted to go to the county alone, and even he was worried, so when Sister Lan asked him to accompany her, Xiaobai readily agreed!

As for the fact that he has relatives in the county, there is no need to worry.

The county is so big, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to walk near the other party, the chance of meeting acquaintances on the road is negligible.

Because of Xiaobai's presence, the old couple of Lan's family instantly felt relieved!

Lan Dazhuang took a deep look at Xiaobai, and murmured in his heart, although Xiaobai didn't seem to have much flesh on his body, he was really strong. If my younger sister went to the county with him, there should be no problem in terms of safety.

Early the next morning, Lan Dazhuang drove his sister and his fellow Xiaobai to the county seat in a tractor.

He has to go back to take care of the fruit saplings in the back mountain and the new round of sowing of winter wheat in the village, so he can't delay for too long.

So he and his younger sister made an appointment to meet in the county town three days later.

Three days is almost enough time for Lan Shu to collect a carload of wheat bran...

The county town is much more prosperous and lively than the village.

It's not like in the village where many houses live in houses with mud walls mixed with straw and clay.

Here, blue brick and tile houses can be seen everywhere.

Although Lan Shu has gotten used to life in the village during this time, after coming to the county town, she still feels that the environment in the county town is more comfortable and comfortable for her.

Although she was an orphan in the past, she also grew up in the city. The place where she has been accustomed to for more than 20 years cannot be smoothed out in just one month.

This feeling is not just Lan Shu.

By her side, Xiaobai also felt that he was more familiar with the environment of the county town.

Was the place where he lived before in the county seat?

No, he vaguely remembered that the place where he used to live looked better than here!

On Lan Shu's side, because she and Xiao Bai will stay in the county for at least a few days, they have to settle for a place to live first.

If they are going to live in a guest house, they must have a letter of introduction from the village.

When Lan Shu came out, she didn't plan to live in a hostel, she planned to rent a house in the county town.

Renting a house is not expensive, only a few yuan a month, and it is convenient for her to have a place to store the wheat bran after collecting it.

Moreover, the fact that she wants to collect wheat bran is a long-term business. As long as her free-range chicken farm keeps raising chickens, the demand for wheat bran will not stop.

So in this way, renting a house is actually not a loss.
