A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 692

Wang Lidong led a group of people to his old cave dwelling. There were six pigs lying or standing in the pigsty, with a comfortable expression. Tian Fujun looked at them carefully, and found that they were all fat and strong, "Shaoan, serve this pig." Don't worry about six pigs."

Wang Lidong said, "My dad doesn't go to the fields anymore, he just stays at home and takes care of these pigs."

Tian Fujun calculated in his mind. Conservatively, 6 pigs will be slaughtered a year, each weighing 180 catties. They will all be sold to food purchase stations. The harvest will be doubled several times.

He looked at his elder brother and said, "Now in Shuangshui Village, are there many people like Brother Yuhou?"

Tian Futang said, "There are quite a few, about a dozen families."

After the tour, everyone entered the cave dwelling. Tian Fujun sat on the kang and looked at the dilapidated cave dwelling, "Shao'an, you and Run Ye are going to get married soon, where do you plan to live in the future?"

Run Ye handed the second dad a cup of hot tea, "Brother Shao'an's new cave dwelling has been completed, and there are no more people living here."

"Oh, new kilns have been built." Tian Fujun asked, "Where is the new kiln? When was it built?"

Sun Yu said with a thick smile, "It's right next door, and it's been built for less than a week."

Tian Fujun picked up the teacup, took a sip, and lit a cigarette, "After smoking, let's go and have a look."

A quarter of an hour later, Tian Fujun came to the courtyard next door, looked at a row of brand-new cave dwellings, counted them, and asked in surprise, "Brother Yuhou, all the seven new kilns belong to your family?"

Sun Yuhou smiled and nodded.

Tian Fujun frowned and said, "Brother Yuhou, these cave dwellings cost a lot of money, right?"

Wang Lidong said, "A total of 4200 yuan. If it weren't for Uncle Fu Tang's support, my family would have at most three new kilns."

Tian Fujun looked at his elder brother in surprise, the sun is rising to the west?

Tian Futang coughed twice, and said dryly, "Run Ye will be 23 soon, and Shao'an will be 24 next year."

Tian Fujun smiled, looked at Wang Lidong and said, "Show us your new home."

The cave dwellings in northern Shaanxi are all similar, so everyone just looked at them casually, but when they walked to the farthest hole, they found something different. The entire cave dwelling was renovated into a bathroom, and there are some bathrooms in the city here.

Looking at the bathroom, which was bigger than his own bedroom, Tian Fujun asked, "Should this be Shaoan's idea? How did you come up with the idea of ​​turning this cave into a bathroom? Isn't it a bit wasteful?"

Wang Lidong said, "Uncle Fujun, if the sanitation is clean, you will get sick less, go to the hospital less, and spend less money, and people will not suffer."

He is fed up with dry toilets, if not for the limited conditions, he plans to install a separate toilet in each cave dwelling.

"Shao'an, you are very thoughtful, very good." Tian Fujun nodded, "I hope that one day, every household in our Shuangshui Village, or even the entire Yuanxi County, can use a toilet like Shao'an's."

Wang Lidong smiled and said, "There will definitely be such a day. And our Shuangshui Village should not use it for a few years."

Tian Fujun nodded, looked at the crowd and said,
"From what I've seen today, the effect of the pig feed is very good. If every villager raises two or three pigs, in a few years, every family in Shuangshui Village will be able to live in spacious and clean new cave dwellings."

Tian Xiaoxia pulled her cousin and whispered, "Sister, when will you and your brother-in-law have their wedding?"

Run Ye smiled and said, "We will do it during Chinese New Year this year."

"The new kiln is ready, why not hurry up?"

"Brother Shao'an said, you must collect the betrothal gifts, so as not to embarrass me."

Tian Xiaoxia said, "Sister, after you get married, you will still go back to Shuangshui Village on Sunday?"

Run Ye said, "We discussed it. After I get married, I will go back to Shuangshui Village to teach."

Tian Xiaoxia said, "Shuangshui Village Primary School?"

"Our village plans to open junior high school classes next year, and I will teach junior high schools then." Run Ye patted his sister-in-law's head and said, "Lan Xiang, aren't you learning English? You can ask sister Xiaoxia, her pronunciation is more standard than mine. .”

Lan Xiang looked at Tian Xiaoxia and said, "Sister Xiaoxia, I have been unable to pronounce a few words correctly, can you teach me?"

Tian Xiaoxia nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go to your house"

"Shao'an, are you still killing pigs today?" Jin Dachui walked into the yard, found Wang Lidong, and asked in a low voice.

Wang Lidong said, "Kill it. Are you ready at home?"

Jin Sledgehammer said, "It's all ready, it's up to you." In fact, there is nothing to prepare, a big wooden barrel, a pile of firewood, unlike other pig butchers who have to prepare a big pot to boil water, so everyone likes to find Wang Lidong doesn't need to be so troublesome to kill pigs.

Tian Fujun asked curiously, "Shao'an, do you know how to butcher pigs?"

The second father, Sun Yuting, said, "Shao'an not only knows how to butcher pigs, but is also a veterinarian in our village. Since Shao'an learned to treat animals, our village has not had a single animal die of illness in the past two months."

Tian Fujun asked curiously, "Where did Shaoan learn to be a veterinarian?"

Wang Lidong said, "Run Ye bought a lot of books on this topic from the county, and I read them myself to learn."

Tian Fujun couldn't help admiring, "You are such a doll. Farming, fanning pigs, killing pigs, and treating livestock!"

He looked at the golden hammer and said, "If I remember correctly, you are Brother Guangming's eldest son."

Jin Sledgehammer was flattered and said, "Uncle Fujun, that's right."

"How many pigs did you kill today?"

Jin Dahui grinned and said, "It weighs more than 170 catties, and it has gained 8 catties in the past half a month. According to Shao'an, it is not worthwhile to keep it any longer."

Tian Fujun waved his hand and said, "Shao'an, go get busy, don't delay work."

Spring goes and autumn comes, time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

At the beginning of the year, Wang Lidong and Run Ye got a marriage certificate and got married. Run Ye's working relationship was also transferred from Chengguan Town Primary School to Shuangshui Village and became a junior high school teacher in Shuangshui Village Middle School.

Because Run Ye was married to Wang Lidong, Tian Fujun was not related to Li Dengyun, the deputy director of the County Revolutionary Committee, so the situation was worse than in the TV series. In May, he was demoted to the former station chief of the West County Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Station.

After he took office, he rode a [-]-[-]% new [-]-bar all day long, checking the breeding of pigs and various livestock in various villages, and was nicknamed "Pig Commander" behind his back.

That evening, when Wang Lidong came home, he saw the old man and Shaoping busy in front of the pigsty, "Why is Shaoping back?"

He shut the bay red horse into the stable, walked to the pigsty, Shaoping poured the pig food from the bucket into the trough, straightened up and said, "Brother, I graduated from high school, I told you that last time I went home. "

Wang Lidong immediately remembered this incident, time flies, and Shaoping graduated from high school in the blink of an eye.

He looked at the 8 big fat pigs in the pigsty, all eating dinner happily, and after saying a few words, he went into the kitchen.

Run Ye was frying vegetables in front of the stove at this time, and his younger sister was helping to light the fire. He walked behind his wife and put his arms around her small waist, and asked in his ear, "What dishes are you cooking?"

"Steamed eggs with minced meat, your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, braised eggplant, fried green beans, and pork liver soup."

"So many dishes, my daughter-in-law has worked hard for you."

Run Ye turned his head and stared at Wang Lidong, stretched out his hand and slapped away the big hand that was making trouble on his body, "Don't make trouble. Take the food to the dining room."

Wang Lidong kissed his two daughter-in-laws, picked up three bowls of vegetables, and went into the dining hall.Seeing her eldest grandson, the old lady said happily, "An'an is back."

"Grandma, Run Ye made you your favorite steamed eggs." After putting the dishes on the dining table, he helped the old lady off the kang and sat on the wooden chair specially made for her.

At this time, the old man and Shaoping entered the dining room together. Shaoping saw the three meat dishes on the table and couldn't help swallowing, "It's great, I can eat the dishes made by my sister-in-law every day from now on."

Wang Lidong said, "Your sister-in-law is in the kitchen and can't hear your flattery."

After the old man sat down, he took two puffs of dry pipe, "Shao'an, Shaoping graduated from high school. Find a way to help him find a good job."

Wang Lidong looked at Shaoping and said, "What do you think?"

He is not interested in putting on a cold face and a cold ass. In the TV series, his predecessor begged his grandpa to sue his grandma for Sun Shaoping's work, and finally got a job as an accountant for a team.

Shaoping scratched his head, "I don't want to farm."

Wang Lidong said, "The results of the final exam have come out?"

Shaoping nodded.

"Where's the report card?"

"I didn't do well in the exam."

"Oh. How bad is it?"

"It's about the same as last semester."

Judging by his younger brother's expression, his grades must be worse than last semester.

Wang Lidong took out a cigarette, lit one, saw his younger brother staring at the cigarette on the table, passed the cigarette over and said, "Smoke if you want, now you have graduated from high school. You are considered an adult."

Shaoping glanced at his father, and the old man said sullenly, "Smoking less." He took the cigarette and lit one, "Brother, when will the college entrance examination resume?"

Wang Lidong sized up his younger brother, and felt that this guy's brain should not have been caught, but why did he ask such a stupid question, "Your grades mean that the college entrance examination has resumed, do you think you can pass it?"

Shaoping whispered, "Most of my class is like me. If the college entrance examination is resumed, I will study hard. The chances of passing the entrance examination should not be small."

Wang Lidong rolled his eyes, he didn't know where this guy got his self-confidence, he really thought that the third class didn't exist.
At this time, Run Ye and Xiaomei entered the room with some dishes, "Eat now."

Wang Lidong looked at Shaoping who was sitting still, and said, "Sit still, don't go to the kitchen to serve dinner."

Shaoping hurriedly got up, went into the kitchen, Run Ye said, "You are sitting by yourself, but let Shaoping do the work."

Wang Lidong said, "He is the only one in the family who doesn't make money, and still wants to be the master?"

Lan Xiangnuo said, "Brother, I don't have a job either."

Wang Lidong patted the little girl's head and said, "Students have no human rights!"

Shaoping was carrying three white masks into the room, listened to it, and said unhappily, "Brother, I got 136 in Chinese this time, ranking third in the class."

Wang Lidong said with a look of 'you are so powerful', "I thought you got a perfect score from your proud tone."

Shaoping's mouth was choked by his elder brother, and after sitting down, he picked up a white flour bun and took two hard bites.

Run Ye said, "Shaoping, if you don't want to farm, can you do other jobs?"

Sun Shaoping nodded and said, "Everything else is fine."

Wang Lidong said, "Then let's raise pigs with Dad. There are 8 pigs in the family, and the younger sister will go to the county to study in two months. From now on, Dad will take care of it alone. It will be too difficult."

Sun Shaoping quickly shook his head and said, "I don't want to raise pigs."

Wang Lidong looked at Shaoping and said angrily, "I asked you just now, you just said that you don't want to farm. Now you don't want to raise pigs! You squeezed toothpaste with me!"

Run Ye was under the table, and lightly tugged Wang Lidong's trousers, signaling not to get angry, but to speak up.

Then the room fell silent, only the sound of everyone chewing.

The old lady was eating happily, when she suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, she said to her daughter-in-law, "Run Ye, I want to eat steamed eggs tomorrow."

Run Ye quickly nodded and said, "Grandma likes to eat it, I'll make steamed eggs for you tomorrow."

The old lady smiled.

The old man looked at his eldest son and said, "Should I let Shaoping learn veterinary medicine from you?"

Wang Lidong said, "Dad, there must be no problem on my side. But is Shaoping willing?"

Sun Yuting looked at his youngest son, and Sun Shaoping thought of Tian Xiaoxia's encouragement, summoned up his courage, and said, "Dad, I want to be a writer!"

The old man Sun Yuhou frowned and said, "A writer? The kind that specializes in writing novels?"

Sun Shaoping said, "Those who write novels and press releases can be called writers who focus on writing."

Sun Yuting picked up the dry cigarette, lit it, and took two puffs, "You graduated from high school, and I'm sure you don't want to be asked to work in the fields when you come back.

But what kind of writer you want to be, I don't agree.In the past few years, many people have been arrested for writing and painting.In the county town, these people would be dragged along the streets every week, and a meeting would be held to fight.The hair was cut into a yin and yang head. "

Sun Shaoping did not expect that it was not his elder brother who opposed it, but his father.

Wang Lidong said, "Shaoping, the writer you are talking about is the kind who writes some articles at home and sends them to publishing houses or newspapers, and if the other party adopts them, they will be paid?"

Sun Shaoping nodded quickly, "Yes, brother, you also know."

Wang Lidong said, "Then if no newspaper accepts your article, you will have no income?"

Sun Shaoping said, "Brother, I have written a lot of articles in the two years of high school, and my classmates think it is good. I believe there will be some newspapers who will take a fancy to my articles."

Wang Lidong asked sharply, "In the two years of high school, how many articles were adopted by the newspaper?"

Sun Shaoping remained silent for a while.

Wang Lidong sneered, "Do you think that the family has been doing well for the past few years, even if you have no income, the family will continue to provide you with food and clothing?
Starting next month, you will pay ten yuan at the beginning of each month as your food expenses. "

Sun Shaoping was extremely surprised, "Brother, do you still have to pay for food when you eat at home?"

Wang Lidong laughed and said, "How rare. You have graduated from high school and are an adult. It's time to support yourself. It's only natural to pay for food. Do you still want me and Dad to support you forever?"

Sun Shaoping thought of his eldest brother who went to work in the fields to earn work points at the age of 13, and he is now 19. He nodded and said, "I will pay, but brother, ten yuan a month is a bit much, right?"

Wang Lidong pointed to the hill of bones beside Shaoping's rice bowl with his chopsticks, "More than half of the sweet and sour short ribs went into your stomach, not counting your sister-in-law's hard work, it's worth [-] yuan.

If you think 10 yuan is too expensive, you can also choose a cheap one, which only costs 3 yuan a month, with one vegetarian dish and three black-faced buns per meal.

There is also a one-month set meal for 1 yuan, two wheat bran mixed dough, and a bowl of water for each meal. My eldest brother never likes to force others to make things difficult. "

This is not too difficult for a strong man.

Sun Shaoping was a little depressed, the so-called transition from extravagance to frugality was difficult, he was used to eating white face masks in the past two years, and it was really hard for him to eat black buns for every meal with meat.

Run Ye said, "Shaoping, why don't you become a teacher in our school? There will be about ten more junior high school students next semester, and Lan Xiang will go to the county to attend high school. I'm too busy to do it alone."

Shaoping immediately said happily, "Sister Runye, can I really be a teacher?"

Run Ye hesitated, "This... shouldn't be a problem. If there are more students, the number of teachers must be increased."

Wang Lidong said, "It's not that simple. If you want to increase the number of teachers, you need the approval of the commune, and most of them are private teachers. It's not an iron rice bowl like you."

The old man Sun Yuting said, "Like Teacher Jin Cheng?"

Wang Lidong nodded.

Shaoping said, "As long as you can be a teacher, it is a private one. Sister Runye, how much is your monthly salary?"

Run Ye blinked, she really didn't know this.

Wang Lidong sneered, "Salary? You're thinking beautifully. Private teachers don't get paid."

Whoa!

Sun Shaoping only felt that a basin of ice water was poured from head to sole of his feet for nothing?
Run Ye patted his man lightly, and he would scare his younger brother, "Shaoping, there is no salary, but there are work points and subsidies. I will ask Teacher Jin tomorrow for the specific amount."

Sun Shaoping's body temperature recovered quickly, and he quickly thanked, "Thank you sister-in-law." He hurriedly picked up a piece of ribs and put them in the sister-in-law's bowl, his face full of flattery.

"By the way, sister-in-law, how many teachers does our school need?"

Run Ye was puzzled, "You still have classmates who want to be teachers?"

Shaoping said, "Runsheng's job has not been settled either."

Run Ye just remembered that his younger brother also graduated from high school, Wang Lidong said, "Your sister-in-law is not the leader of our commune. There is also the matter of Run Sheng, don't worry about it, take care of yourself first."

After dinner, Wang Lidong and his wife went back to the old man's house together.

When my brother-in-law Tian Runsheng saw the two of them, he pulled his eldest sister and said, "Sister, hurry up and persuade Dad, he wants me to go to the fields to do farm work."

The mother-in-law said, "Shao'an, think of a way to find a job for Runsheng. Runsheng's baby has never carried a load of water or touched a picket since he was a child. Let him work in the fields. How can he afford such a job?" Kind of bitter."

Tian Futang snorted coldly, "As you have been used to since childhood, a rural person can't even farm the land!"

Run Ye hurriedly persuaded, "Dad, Run Sheng is a high school student, and now there are only a few in our village. It is a waste of talents for you to let your younger brother go to farm."

Runsheng nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I am a talent."

Tian Futang was furious, "Talent is a fart, if you don't do well in school, you will be at the bottom of the final exam if you don't go back!"

Wang Lidong said, "Dad, it's a bit wasteful for you to let a high school student go to the ground. How about this, let's ask Runsheng what he wants to do first?"

Seeing everyone in his family looking at him, Tian Runsheng thought for a moment. He wanted to eat, drink and have fun every day, and he didn't want to go to work at all, but he didn't dare to say this idea, lest he would be beaten to death by his father, "Brother-in-law, the job is easy, and the salary can't be too low , it’s better that no one is in charge of the job.”

Tian Futang snorted coldly, "Why don't you go to heaven?"

Runsheng said, "Brother-in-law, how about I learn veterinary medicine from you?"

Wang Lidong looked at the old father-in-law, the Tian family is the one who decides.Tian Futang took a cigarette, sniffed it, pondered for a while, and thought it was not bad.

Veterinarians are still very popular and respected professions in the countryside. Especially in the past two years, the breeding business in Shuangshui Village has been in full swing. Many farmers in Shigejie Commune have started to raise pigs like Shuangshui Village. There are more livestock and more sick people. I am very busy every day.

Moreover, he still learns from his son-in-law, so he is not afraid of being bullied and unable to learn skills.However, the son-in-law still doesn't have an establishment. If Runsheng is an apprentice, he has no establishment. If he doesn't join the establishment, he won't be able to eat the state food.

After Wang Lidong knew what the old man was worried about, he said with a smile, "I heard that our commune is planning to build a veterinary station. Our Shuangshui Village is a live pig pilot village. Last year, our village overfulfilled the live pig purchase task. The number of live pig purchases this year is estimated to be To double.

The risk of raising pigs is very high, and it is easy to get sick. If the prevention and control cannot keep up, you may have to fall into a big somersault someday.

Make a report to apply for the establishment of a veterinary clinic in Shuangshui Village, and this establishment will come true. "

Tian Futang said, "The commune agrees?"

Wang Lidong said, "How could you disagree. Dad, don't forget, Uncle Fu Jun is now the head of the livestock station, so he still has some power."

Tian Futang let out an 'oops', and he forgot about it, "I'll go to the commune and county tomorrow to settle this matter. It just happened to solve your establishment, Shaoan."

Runsheng said happily, "Brother-in-law, I will be your soldier from now on. You ride horses when you go out now, can I also ride horses?"

Wang Lidong said, "You can ride a bicycle."

Runsheng said, "Ride a horse. A bicycle can't run faster than a horse."

He had been spying on the little white horse in the brigade for a long time, and this time he was finally able to justify it as his own, so he would not let the opportunity go.

Run Ye said, "Dad, there will be twelve more junior high school students in our village next semester, and I can't handle it alone. When you go to the commune tomorrow, ask the commune for a teacher's salary."

Tian Futang said, "Why are there so many students next semester?"

Wang Lidong said, "Dad, the situation in our village has improved a lot in the past two years. Everyone has money, and who doesn't want their children to have a future."

Tian Futang thought of the changes in the village in the past two years, not to mention that every family can eat white flour buns, but at least half of them have no worries about food and drink, and their faces are full of satisfaction.These are his political achievements. If it weren't for Tian Futang, how could Shuangshui Village have such a good situation!
"Where is the teacher candidate?"

Run Ye said, "Shaoping also graduated from high school."

Tian Futang nodded and said, "I will talk to the commune tomorrow, the problem should not be serious."

Both Runsheng and Shaoping's jobs were settled, and the whole family was very happy. After chatting for more than half an hour, Wang Lidong returned home with his wife with a bag of mung bean cakes made by his mother-in-law.

After washing, the two got on the kang, and played two games as usual. When the room quieted down, Run Ye lay on Wang Lidong's mouth, and said, "Brother Shao'an, we've been married for almost a year."

"Where there is a year, it is just over six months."

"It's been so long, why haven't you conceived a baby yet?"

Wang Lidong looked at his wife and said, "You want a child so much?"

Run Ye nodded.

"Both of us are definitely in good health. It seems that I haven't worked hard enough," he turned over as he said, "Starting today, let's play another game."
