In the age of rebirth, I became popular in the pastoral live broadcast

Song Hongguo's explanation made Zhao Zhenhua's sourness dissipate a little, but he was still envious and couldn't help but sigh, "We don't have such good things here. An enamel jar requires at least two industrial coupons, and the wages of workers in the factory The high-end ones can get three tickets in two months, but the apprentices can’t even get one in a month.”

Even if I get it all together, I still won’t be willing to buy an enamel jar. Isn’t the thermos delicious?Aren’t washbasins and aluminum lunch boxes more practical?If you wish a little more extravagantly, you can even think about a bicycle.

Song Hongguo heard this and said, "When I have a chance, if I meet someone who doesn't want an industrial paper, I can bring one for you?"

"Why are you so embarrassed?"

"What's so embarrassing about this? It's not like giving it away for free. Department stores occasionally deal with defective products. I'll help you find out. If there are any, I'll bring them to you."

When it comes to this matter, no matter how polite Zhao Zhenhua is, he is an outsider, so he happily agrees. The purpose of talking about it is, "This year the commune has given each brigade a task. At least six pigs must be handed over by the end of the year. Each pig cannot be raised." Less than 140 pounds, if you pay too much, you will be rewarded, but if you fail to complete the task, my father is afraid that he will be criticized and scolded. If he is thick-skinned, he will bear it, because he is afraid of handing out things to the team in the future. Yes, we will suffer."

This is the so-called mission pig. Song Hongguo understood it and nodded, "Then we can raise it. Our team is next to a mountain and it is easy to hunt pig grass. How many do you plan to raise?"

Zhao Zhenhua smiled bitterly, "How many more will we keep? My father doesn't want to keep any."

Song Hongguo was puzzled, "Why? Isn't it good to raise pigs?"

The two little guys also put down their books curiously and looked at Zhao Zhenhua.

Zhao Zhenhua explained helplessly, "Raising pigs is naturally good. Not only can they be handed over to the commune to make money, but the remaining ones can be slaughtered at the end of the year and distributed among the commune members to make dumplings. In the past, our team also raised pigs. , but then there was not enough food to eat and people were hungry. What could we feed the pigs? Just feeding the pigs grass would not make them fat. Not to mention one hundred and four, not even one hundred and two was enough. Some families were hungry. I was so anxious that I made an excuse to say that the pig had died of illness, and then I ate it after weighing only a few dozen kilograms..."

"Then all the breeders in our team have gone to work in the fields?"

"That's not true. If you don't raise pigs, you can herd sheep. Drive the sheep into the mountains. At least they can eat half full. Besides, sheep can eat grass and grow meat, but pigs can't. And then there are ducks in our team. It’s also convenient to raise ducks in the reed pond. They can find food on their own in the water and lay eggs, so it’s less laborious than raising pigs.”

"Wouldn't it be okay to replace the pigs with sheep and ducks?"

Zhao Zhenhua let out a long, depressed sigh, "That's how we did it in the past two years, but it won't work this year. In the end, everyone still prefers to eat pork, mutton, and duck meat, which don't have the smell of pork."

Song Hongguo's eyes flashed, "So, you came to me to...encourage me to raise pigs?"

Zhao Zhenhua laughed dryly and said, "It's not encouragement, it's discussion. Cousin, with our relationship, how can I cheat you? This is what I've thought about, do you think it's true?"

"you say……"

"I won't hide it from you. My father plans to raise ten of them. By the end of the year, he will hand over eight of them, and the remaining two will be given to the members as a tooth sacrifice. There are currently two breeders in the team, Uncle Dong and Uncle Cui. One is a herder and the other is a breeder. I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult for them to raise pigs after feeding the ducks and taking care of the cows. Of course, it will be okay to arrange another breeder at that time, but the team cannot raise ten at once, and the pigs are all penned together. , are also easy to get sick. If there is swine fever, the calf will be ruined, so I thought to see who would be willing to raise it. Firstly, it would share the pressure on the team, and secondly, it would also be good for the members themselves..."

Ling Zhi suddenly asked, "What are the benefits?"

Originally, he thought that raising pigs was indeed a good thing, but when he was suddenly asked to do it at his door, he felt inexplicably uneasy. After all, if it was really all about benefits, then why shouldn't everyone rush to raise it?

Zhao Zhenhua took a sip of tea and cleared his throat, "The benefits of raising pigs are obvious. Once they are fattened, they are sent to the purchasing station. A pound of four hairs, a pig weighing more than 100 pounds, is still available for 60 yuan. In our team Many people have worked hard for a year, and when the grain is distributed at the end of the year, they may not have dozens of dollars in their hands. In addition, if the pigs are well raised, meat stamps can be issued. If not, they can be slaughtered and eaten, which is usually the case. Manure can fertilize the land..."

"Then what should we feed them?" Ling Zhi asked again with a sullen face.

Zhao Zhenhua choked and then said helplessly, "This is the biggest difficulty right now. In the past, who wouldn't want to raise someone? Cousin, I also thought that you had this ability, so I came to you and said, you are here I work in a factory and get food stamps every month, so I can save some money. If the two children go to hunt some pigweed, our team can also get some stick straw and sweet potato seedlings. If you fool them, the pigs will grow up, but if it had been someone else, it would have been impossible."

He spoke very sincerely and matter-of-factly, and there was a bit of embarrassment in his words. Song Hongguo didn't care. After all, she originally wanted to raise him. She also planned to ask Zhao Baoqing, but the plan didn't change quickly. Someone would take care of him if he fell asleep. Pillow, so, she didn't want to appear too cheerful, so she pondered for a moment and asked, "Besides me, who else did you go to ask about?"

Zhao Zhenhua wiped his face and said with a bitter smile, "Who else is there? My family and the families of the other three team leaders are all hardcore, otherwise we won't be able to complete the task and no one will look good."

Song Hong smiled knowingly, "How many are in the family?"

Zhao Zhenhua raised a finger.

"Then give me one too."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhenhua breathed a sigh of relief, with joy and guilt on his face, "Cousin, don't say anything else. Just say thank you. Thank you for supporting my father and our team's work."

"My cousin is being a heretic when he says this. I support my uncle's work, so shouldn't I be duly rewarded?"

"Okay, okay, if anything happens to my cousin in the future, I won't hesitate."

"Then I have something to ask my cousin for help now."

Zhao Zhenhua was stunned for a moment, and immediately said cheerfully, "You say it."

"I want to ask my cousin to help me build a stone mill and stone trough..." Song Hongguo gave him a general description of the size and style, and finally asked the price, "My brother is still settling the accounts, cousin, don't be polite to me. .”

Zhao Zhenhua simply didn't know what to say. They said they were asking him for help, but then they asked him to give him money. Is this a favor?You are obviously taking care of him, right?He originally only had some superficial affection for this cousin who suddenly appeared, but now he is more sincere. He gave a real price, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, cousin, I will definitely give it to you." The board is in good shape, if there is any other work in the future, just call me and I will be there."

"okay……"

After sending the person away, Ling Zhi asked, "Why don't you raise two?"

"It's too eye-catching." Others don't even want to keep one, but she wants two. What do others think?

Do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequity.

Ling Zhi didn't say anything anymore.
