The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

It was almost time, so Liu Qing took the two little girls who were already dozing off to bed, and then returned them after they fell asleep.

After another round of five-player Landlord game.

Tian Zao touched Qin Huairu's belly enviously and whispered something.

"Huai Ru, it's already this big in just over two months. I guess it's two babies."

Qin Huairu's eyes radiated maternal light, she touched her belly and said with a smile. "Sister Zao, you can tell that I'm only a few months old? If you like me, then you should hurry up."

Tian Zao thought for a moment and said, "I'm not in a hurry. Huizhen and Xueru will come first. I'll have another child in two years."

Qin Huairu knew what she was thinking. "Sister Zao, this is not up to you."

Tian Zao crawled into Chang Wei's arms. "Ah Wei, can you give the seeds to them first? I want to do more for the neighbors in the next two years. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for me to do anything when I am pregnant."

Chang Wei knew that Tian Zao wanted to repay her kindness. As an orphan, she had grown up eating at many people's homes. He gently stroked the hair on her cheek. "Okay!"

Qin Huairu leaned over and took her hand. "Sister Zao, just go with the flow. Don't think too much. Things don't happen in one day. There's still a lot of time to come."

Tian Zao thought about it and agreed, but she still didn't want to have a baby in the next two years, as the neighborhood committee director behind her hadn't taken office yet. "Awei, let's get married in a few days. Our parents are gone, so we can just get together as a family and have a meal..."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Once you have chosen a date, the sisters will help you arrange it and make sure you will be a beautiful bride..."

After chatting for a while, Chang Wei saw that it was already late, and said softly, "It's getting late, let's go to bed, babies."

"Ok!"

The moonlight shines through the window, illuminating the figures sleeping in each other's arms on the big kang.

……

The next afternoon, Chang Wei returned to his home in Qinjia Village.

He had already asked the Ding brothers to notify each village yesterday and they had something to discuss this afternoon.

When Chang Wei got home, the living room was already full of people, and the village heads who had received the news had all arrived.

After some polite words, Chang Wei got straight to the point. "My dear uncles, I have two things to discuss today.

The first thing is, you should be able to figure it out. More than 20 villages are actively raising pigs. With just my butcher shop, I will definitely not be able to digest the rest."

Before he finished speaking, someone took over the conversation.

"Awei, do you mean we have to control the number of pigs we raise? That's no problem. You make a budget and we can discuss it together to see how many pigs each village should raise."

"Yes, Awei, we'll do whatever you say."

In an instant, voices of agreement rose one after another.

Seeing this, Chang Wei felt relieved. They are all simple people, right? Only I have ulterior motives.

He continued with a smile, "Uncles, you misunderstood. I can tell you clearly that from now on, not only do we not need to control the number of pigs, we should raise more, the more the better."

As soon as this was said, the heads of each village were all excited and the atmosphere became lively again. The income of some people who raised pigs in each village was visibly increasing. If every household raised more pigs, their income would be...

Qin Zhengshan, the old undercover, laughed and shouted, "My dear friends, Ah Wei hasn't finished speaking yet, don't be too happy, don't you want to hear why? Everyone is in a mess like a vegetable market, what else can Ah Wei say? I suggest that we listen honestly and don't interrupt."

"Old Qin is right, we just need to listen to him."

Afterwards, the village heads suppressed their joy and listened quietly.

Chang Wei told everyone that the cannery was under the military, and that it produced military supplies, which were directly supplied to the frontline soldiers at cost price. The government also provided corresponding benefits to the villages that provided pig sources, and he reported the list of villages. As long as the village was on the list, the villagers could go to the grain station within Changping with the introduction letter of the village head and buy rice bran, wheat bran, bean cakes, etc. at all seven levels of price.

Since the cost of raising pigs has dropped, the price of live pigs must also drop. We cannot just take advantage of others, or take advantage of the public. Therefore, the price of live pigs in the future will be 60% of the meat price, so the cost price of canned pigs will be lowered, but this is still higher than what others offer.

The heads of each village were all happy to agree. The military was like the country, with long-term guarantees, and was more stable than Chang Wei's shop...

The village heads listened to the first thing happily and were looking forward to Chang Wei's next words.

Seeing this, Chang Wei smiled and said the second thing. "My dear uncles, this cannery is still in preparation. It not only needs equipment, but also workers. So the second thing I want to talk about is workers. I think there are honest and hardworking young people in each village. I will select the early workers from each village after I apply for them."

As soon as these words fell, it was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves. Everyone could no longer remain quiet and started to discuss excitedly. Those who don't have a job in the city are worse off than those in the village, but those who have a job are definitely better than those in the village, not to mention this kind of factory that is equivalent to a state-owned enterprise.

Qin Zhengshan couldn't help but ask excitedly, "Ah Wei, are you serious? Are you really picking people in the village?"

"Uncles, what I said is true, but the cannery does not have much demand for workers in the early stage, and the number of vacancies is limited, with only two per village." Chang Wei smiled and nodded, paused, restrained his smile and continued seriously. "Uncles, let me be frank. I cannot give priority to my relatives just because there are few vacancies, regardless of their character. You all know my character. I never tolerate any injustice, and I am not against people. If I am sent back to the village because of my personal character, it will be embarrassing for everyone. I think you all know the character of the young people in the village.

In my opinion, character comes first. As I just said, we need honest and hardworking people. And they can’t all be young men, there must be older women too. Great men have said that women can hold up half the sky, and girls need to be more meticulous in their work, which is required for special positions.”

Uncle Liu from Liuwang Village immediately agreed. "Awei, don't worry. If we make a mistake and get sent back, where will we put our reputation? Don't you agree?"

"Yes, don't worry, Awei."

……

After everything was explained and the village heads left happily, Chang Wei told Qin Zhengshan that there were a total of sixty job vacancies. Excluding fifty-two from the twenty-six villages, the rest were from Qinjia Village.

Qin Zhengshan was so happy that his face was full of smiles. "Awei, I knew that our Qinjia Village would benefit from this."

Chang Wei smiled. "Uncle Shan, we can tell the difference between close and distant, but who doesn't have selfish desires?"

Qin Zhengshan nodded, then stopped smiling but felt troubled again. Most people in Qinjia Village were from the same clan, so it would be difficult to allocate the eight places...

Chang Wei could guess why he was like this, and said with a smile, "Uncle Shan, I can tell the difference between close and distant relatives, but this job is no joke. Have you forgotten what I just said? First of all, you have to have good character. This is the same as in every village. And in the factory, I will definitely treat everyone equally."
