Siheyuan: Silly Zhu and his sister cling to me

On Sunday, Lin Chuan got up early, and today he was going to the Red Star Commune in the eastern suburbs to see if there was anyone selling piglets there.

At present, there are flocks of chickens, ducks and geese in the secret place of Tilinchuan, all kinds of fish in the lake, and a good harvest of crops on the land is in sight.

The only regret is that there is a lack of planting of some precious medicinal materials. The fruit trees are only apples, pears, jujubes, persimmons, and peach seedlings, and some southern fruits are missing.

There is even a blank for large livestock, not even a small piglet.

Originally, He Yushui was struggling to get up and went to the eastern suburbs with him.

But Lin Chuan felt that the two were delaying things.

Besides, I don't want He Yushui to know some of my business secrets so quickly.

For the sake of caring, he asked He Yushui to sleep a little longer, and finally got through to rest on Sunday, so that he should not follow him to suffer and suffer.

Let her man run away with this kind of hardship.

He Yushui was touched for a while, then fell asleep again.

Lin Chuan tossed so hard last night, he didn't know how many times he worked it all night, He Yushui's body was so tired that it was about to fall apart!
Lin Chuan didn't get off to a smooth start. He even ran two brigades, but no one was willing to sell the little piglet, let alone other big animals.

Looking at the hilly area in the distance, Lin Chuan sighed, he had to try his luck in the farther and more remote brigade.

Just after noon, Lin Chuan rode to the Shizipo brigade.

The Shizipo Brigade is located at the easternmost point of the Red Star Commune, and it consists of two natural villages.

One of these two natural villages is called Linjiagou, and the other is Dongshanzhai.

Although this place is a bit remote, it doesn't seem to be much poorer than other brigades in the Red Star Commune.

It turns out that some people here often go to Kyoto or northern Hebei to do business, so life is easier.

Lin Chuan also made some preparations before coming. He took more than 200 yuan and some tickets.

In Linjiagou, Lin Chuan met a strong man with a beard. His name was Lin Dashan, who happened to have the same surname as Lin Chuan.

After the two chatted, Lin Chuan lit him a cigarette.

"Hey! It's still at the front door!" Lin Dashan took the cigarette and looked at Lin Chuan.

I saw Lin Chuan riding a brand-new Phoenix bike. His clothes and conversation were not like this one, but he had sincere eyes and kind words, and he seemed to be a person who could deal with people.

"Uncle! Do you sell piglets here?"

"I'm not sure about this, I can take you to ask, young man! What are you doing with this thing? Did you raise it yourself?" Lin Dashan was very puzzled.

If Lin Chuan said that he raised pigs, Lin Dashan would not believe it even if he was killed.

"Then thank you, Uncle Lin! My name is Lin Chuan, and I'm a worker in a steel factory. I'm taking this little piglet because I want to start a small pig farm with my friends. I'm only responsible for the collection. Someone from our place will come to raise it... "

"Then has your pig farm been approved by the leader?" Lin Dashan was quite vigilant.

People at that time were used to dealing with public officials. If you said it was private, most people would stay away.

Because doing business with the government is the right choice; doing business with private individuals is very risky, and it may cause a lot of trouble.

Lin Chuan didn't think about these things carefully, but he had an idea, "Oh! It's approved, we are considered collective."

Um!The collective is also considered public!Lin Dashan felt relieved about this matter.

"Uncle Lin! I hope you can help me a lot, I won't let you help for nothing..." Lin Chuan specially emphasized this sentence.

"Yeah! There are a few, let's go to the village and ask." Lin Dashan led the way enthusiastically.

Generally, people who often run outside know the subtext of the sentence that they will not help in vain.

If you run outside, if you don't understand this sentence, you will run into trouble everywhere.

Lin Dashan asked the two families, but they didn't intend to sell it.

But when I asked about the third one, it seemed that I had some clues.

This family is also surnamed Lin, named Lin Erniu. The old sow in his family has just given birth to a litter of seven or eight litters.

Although this was a good thing, Lin Erniu immediately began to worry: How much food do these seven or eight little piglets need to eat to grow up?

At that time, the rural areas were generally short of food, and I didn't have much surplus food. How could there be so many things to feed pigs?

"I'm going to sell a few of these little piggies, and you just came, saving me from going to the market. Tell me, how do you charge them?"

Lin Erniu asked cautiously, although he didn't go out often to do business, but the basic routine was still clear.

Lin Chuan naturally did his homework. The price of piglets in the market is generally higher than the price of buying meat. He came to collect them, and the price must be lower than those offered by those people.

But Lin Chuan didn't care about the small money, so his bid was slightly higher than the market price, "Uncle! I'm not out of the box, sow piglets are one yuan per catty, and male piglets are one yuan..."

Upon hearing Lin Chuan's offer, Lin Erniu felt quite satisfied.

Just sitting at home, you can sell it for a good price, and the two of them made a decision at that time.

Lin Erniu decided to sell five piglets, including three females and two dolls.

People at that time were very down-to-earth, as long as they thought it was almost suitable, they would make a deal, and they would not play so many tricks.

Lin Chuan spent 48 yuan to buy these little piglets.

Seeing that it was past noon, Lin Dashan asked Lin Chuan to go to his house for lunch, just to make friends.

Lin Chuan also intended to make friends with him.

When I am in a strange place, I must have a foothold and a contact person; this Lin Dashan is good, and I will go to him directly for activities in this area in the future.

Lin Dashan's family lives fairly well. He has two sons and two daughters.

The eldest son, Lin Shuming, has separated, and the youngest son, Lin Shuliang, is still in the third grade of elementary school; the two daughters, Lin Taohua, just got married, and the youngest daughter, Lin Xinghua, is in junior high school.

"Xinghua's mother, please add more water, there are guests at home!" Lin Dashan yelled as soon as he entered the door.

A middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen, looking very virtuous.

"Hello, Auntie! Sorry to trouble you."

"Yeah, you're welcome! You didn't say it earlier, so I can get some food, hey! Why did you catch a few piggies?" Xinghuaniang asked, wiping her hands.

"Oh! This is Xiao Lin from the capital city, and we belong to the same family; they want to set up a collective pig farm, so they can take a few piglets here." Lin Dashan explained to his wife.

The couple let Lin Chuan into the house, and Xinghua Niang made seven or eight poached eggs for Lin Chuan, and made a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions.

In the countryside at that time, although every family raised chickens, most people seldom ate eggs like this.

It's not that they don't like to eat eggs, but they use eggs to exchange some daily necessities, rice, oil and salt, and those whose families are richer sell eggs for money.

Lin Chuan looked at the eggs on the table, and he couldn't bear to do it.

You know, without any preparations, it is already very unusual for the host to entertain you with so many eggs.

We met by chance, never thought that Lin Dashan's family would treat him as such a distinguished guest?
