The Age of Rebirth: Winning since the educated youth went to the countryside

After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying packed up and then gathered at the threshing ground.

When they arrived at the threshing ground, many villagers and educated youth had already gathered there.

Everyone was whispering, discussing today's work arrangements and various things that had happened in the village recently.

The team leader stood on the high platform of the threshing ground, holding a tin loudspeaker in his hand. Seeing that most people had arrived, he began to shout: "Everyone, please be quiet. Today we will continue yesterday's summer weeding work. We did a good job of clearing the weeds in the fields on the east side yesterday, but some areas of the vegetable fields on the west side need to be strengthened."

The team leader then assigned tasks: "Groups 1 and 2 will continue to go to the fields in the east to clean up the remaining weeds; Group 3 will go to the vegetable fields in the west and focus on checking the areas that were not cleaned before; Group 4 will be responsible for watering the crops in the village, but be careful not to water too much to avoid waterlogging."

……

After the morning meeting, Zhou Ziwen prepared to go to the mushroom cultivation base with Chen Shiying.

Just as I was about to leave, Zhao Youcai came over.

"Ziwen, wait a moment, I have something to discuss with you."

Zhou Ziwen stopped, looked at Zhao Youcai and asked, "Uncle Zhao, what's the matter?"

"Our chicken farm is now on the right track. I wonder if we can start expanding it?" Zhao Youcai asked.

"Well, there is no problem in expanding the scale. Have you talked about this with Uncle Wu and the others?" Zhou Ziwen nodded.

There are currently more than 3,000 chickens at the chicken farm, plus ducks and geese, a total of less than 4,000.

For the chicken farm in Dabazi Village, this number is a bit small.

Zhao Youcai replied: "Not yet. I want to discuss it with you first and listen to your opinions, and then go to Secretary Wu and others."

Zhou Ziwen thought for a while and said, "Uncle Zhao, expanding the scale is a good thing, it will definitely be possible."

"Okay, then I'll go discuss it with Secretary Wu right away. Ziwen, you come with me!" Zhao Youcai said happily.

"I won't go, Uncle Zhao, you can discuss it with Uncle Wu, I still have to go to the mushroom planting base to take a look." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand.

He no longer interferes in the affairs of the chicken farm, leaving it all to Zhao Youcai and others to manage.

He believed in the abilities of Zhao Youcai and his colleagues and believed that they could manage the chicken farm well.

Zhao Youcai didn't force it after hearing this, and nodded: "Okay, then I'll go find Secretary Wu myself."

After saying that, Zhao Youcai left in a hurry.

Watching Zhao Youcai leaving, Chen Shiying couldn't help but sigh, "Ziwen, Uncle Zhao and the others are really getting more and more motivated now."

"Yes, everyone's life is getting better and better, so naturally they are more motivated."

Zhou Ziwen smiled, then invited Chen Shiying to go to the mushroom cultivation base together.

The two arrived at the mushroom planting base, where many team members were already busy.

Seeing Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying arriving, everyone greeted them warmly.

"The team leader is here!"

"Team leader, do you see how these mushrooms are growing?"

After Zhou Ziwen responded to each one, he began to walk around the base to check the growth of the mushrooms.

The mushroom cultivation base is well managed and the mushrooms are growing well.

Zhou Ziwen nodded in satisfaction, then said to Chen Shiying, "Shiying, you keep an eye on this, I'll be leaving first."

There was nothing to do at the mushroom growing base, so Zhou Ziwen planned to go to the brigade headquarters to see how Zhao Youcai and Wu Dagang were discussing.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it." Chen Shiying nodded.

Afterwards, Zhou Ziwen left the mushroom cultivation base and went to the brigade headquarters.

As soon as he walked into the brigade headquarters, he saw Zhao Youcai and Wu Dagang discussing something, both of them with smiles on their faces.

"Ziwen is here, we were just about to look for you!" Seeing Zhou Ziwen coming, Wu Dagang waved hurriedly.

"Uncle Wu, Uncle Zhao, have you discussed it?" Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.

"Yes, we just discussed it and plan to collect another batch of eggs and hatch a batch of chicks. What do you think?" Wu Dagang asked directly.

"This is a good thing. As the scale of the chicken farm expands, the profit will also be greater." Zhou Ziwen nodded in agreement.

"Ziwen, once we collect the eggs, it will be up to you to hatch them." Zhao Youcai said.

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhao, leave the hatching of the chicks to me." Zhou Ziwen said, patting his chest.

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll go back and arrange for someone to collect the eggs." After Zhao Youcai said this, he left in a hurry.

Watching Zhao Youcai leave, Wu Dagang said to Zhou Ziwen, "Ziwen, you are now a great contributor to our village. The chicken farm and mushroom cultivation base are both doing very well."

"Uncle Wu, don't say that. This is the result of everyone's hard work." Zhou Ziwen said modestly.

"Ziwen, you are too polite. Your contribution is obvious to everyone." Wu Dagang waved his hand.

The two chatted for a while and Zhou Ziwen prepared to leave.

As a result, before I even left the house, Li Lei came looking for me.

"Brother Li, why are you here?" Zhou Ziwen asked with a grin.

"Hey, I'm here to see you." Li Lei touched the back of his head.

"What's wrong?" Hearing this, Zhou Ziwen also became serious.

"I heard that you are planning to expand the scale of chicken farming?" Li Lei asked back.

"Yes! Have you heard about it?" Zhou Ziwen nodded.

"Yeah, I just ran into Lao Zhao." Li Lei nodded, then frowned and said, "Ziwen, if we expand the scale of chicken farming, the biological feed here will not be enough."

"If it's not enough, just produce more!" Zhou Ziwen was a little slow to react.

"I mean the two crushers in the pig farm are not enough." Li Lei smiled awkwardly.

After hearing what Li Lei said, Zhou Ziwen touched his chin and thought for a long time, "The crusher, this is not easy to make."

"What should we do then?" Wu Dagang asked from the side.

"How about Uncle Wu go and ask the commune if there are any scrapped crushers?" Zhou Ziwen asked tentatively.

"Okay, I'll go ask." Wu Dagang is now considered wealthy.

The village has made money from growing mushrooms, and the pig farm and chicken farm will soon make money too.

If you can’t afford a new crusher, you can still buy a scrapped crusher.

Seeing Wu Dagang agreed, Zhou Ziwen turned to look at Li Lei and said, "Brother Li, I'll leave the matter of biological feed to you. You must ensure the supply."

"Don't worry, I will get it done." Li Lei patted his chest and promised.

This matter is actually not that urgent. After all, it will take more than 20 days to hatch the chicks. If you prepare more feed during this period, you can last for a while.

After discussing the matter, Zhou Ziwen left the brigade headquarters.
