Good mountains, good water, good people

When eating lunch at noon, Gu Changning asked the old village head Gu and the current village head Gu about raising pigs. It happened that there were other people in their village here, so he listened to other people's opinions together. Opinion.

"You still want to raise pigs?" Village Chief Gu didn't seem to expect his son to want to raise pigs, and was a little stunned when he heard it for the first time.

"Yes, Dad, what do you think of this idea?" Gu Changning nodded.

"It's not easy to raise pigs." A pig costs thousands of dollars, and if one is accidentally raised to death, you will lose money.If there is a swine fever or something, the pigs in a pen may be gone.

Why don’t people in the village dare to raise pigs? It’s because raising pigs doesn’t make money, and if you’re not careful, you’ll lose money, so no one dares to raise them. Now their son wants to raise pigs, and his I hesitated a little in my heart.

Therefore, Village Chief Gu didn't recommend his son to raise pigs too much. He shook his head and said, "The risk is too great. If you are not careful, you may lose money in it."

"Hey, it's not easy to be afraid of. What's easy to do now? Let's get a few heads back to raise. If they are well raised, we will raise more. When the vegetables in our several greenhouses are planted, there must be a lot of rotten ones." Leaves and vegetables, we can use them to feed pigs and not waste them." The more Gu Changning thinks about it, the better it is to raise pigs, and there are fewer and fewer people raising pigs in their village. All he eats are pigs from other places, and there is no smell of pork at all. Now he misses the native pigs raised in the village that he ate when he was a child. That taste is really delicious.

"Anyway, we are also preparing to grow pigs, and raise pigs together. Let's buy a batch of piglets and raise them. This year, we probably won't be able to eat the raised pork. By this time next year, there will be pork to eat, right? From time to time, we will keep a few pigs for slaughter in the village, and sell the rest outside. The people outside probably haven’t eaten authentic native pork, so let’s let them taste what authentic native pork is.”

"Hey, that's a good idea. If we want to raise authentic local pigs, the pigs outside are all injected with clenbuterol. They are thinner, and they don't even have the slightest taste of meat."

"That's right, we used to sell pork to the city, but now we sell pigs from the city to our village. It's been a long time since we've eaten authentic local pork." Secretary Yang said, Everyone else agrees, and they all drool when they think of the fat pork.

"Do you really want to raise pigs?" Village Chief Gu asked his son hesitantly when he saw that Lao Yang and the others said it was good to raise pigs.

"Yeah, why don't we discuss it with you first?" If Gu Changning didn't have a space and Lingxi in his hands, he wouldn't dare to say this easily. Pigs are not a big problem here.

"Let's try it first, buy a few piglets and come back and try to raise them. If I don't know how to raise them, wouldn't there be a few of you, grandpa, dad and uncle? Come and do it for me when you have time. With technical guidance, it can be done.”

"Okay, if you want to raise it, let's raise it. Let's buy a few piglets and come back and have a look." Now that his son is so confident, Village Chief Gu naturally doesn't want to discourage his son's confidence.Young people, if you don't suffer a little setback, you really think that the world is going so smoothly.

"Just do it if you think about it. It's better than thinking about it all the time." Grandpa Gu also nodded. If you haven't tried everything, how can you know if it will work. Only by actually trying it will you know if it will work.

"Haha, then we'll wait to eat pork." Secretary Yang and the others laughed.

"Okay!" Gu Changning also laughed, confidently preparing to contact someone to buy piglets.

The two days on Saturday and Sunday passed quickly. As soon as the holiday was over, Gu Xiaodi packed his things and went back to school. Gu Changning didn't have time to send his younger brother back to school. It was Village Chief Gu who drove the motorcycle to send his youngest son back to school.

On Monday morning, the master who made an appointment drove to their village to install a greenhouse for him. Gu Changning went to the entrance of the village to pick up the people. A total of three people came. One master brought two small workers and pulled a large truck. The steel pipes and materials to be used in the greenhouses were brought in, and it took almost a week to install the row of greenhouses.

It happened that the master who installed the greenhouse knew the owner who sold strawberry seedlings. He gave him the phone number of the boss, and he called there to contact him. He learned that besides strawberry seedlings, there are also holy maiden seedlings. The prices of the two kinds of seedlings They were almost the same, so he asked for one more cherry tomato. I heard that the price of the cherry tomato is not bad now.After the two parties negotiated the price, they also agreed to free delivery.

One step ahead of the greenhouse is the pigsty for raising pigs.It just so happens that Uncle Sanquan often pulls bricks and cement for people everywhere. He knows where the bricks and cement are cheap and good. Uncle Sanquan drove a tractor to pull two trucks of bricks and cement back, and then hired two people who could do cement work in their village to build the pigsty together.

A group of old people have to go up to the back mountain to have a look every day when they have nothing to do. Seeing that the weed-covered land has been cleaned up, the old people are very emotional, "I think back then, when we were young, this back mountain All the fields are full of crops, and if there are many children in the family, they will open a few more fields to grow things. It is a bit hard work, but the family can still feed their stomachs."

"That's it. If I can do it now, I want to do it too. Only my sons and grandchildren won't let me do it."

"The children in your family are filial."

"The grandson of our old village chief's family is good. He is willing to come back to our village. Look at how nice it is to tidy up the land and plant something. Isn't it better than a deserted one?"

"Yeah, us old fellows, we just can't see it."

"..."

After the greenhouses and pigpens were built, the only difference was that the fruit seedlings and piglets were not bought back. Gu Changning had already contacted the sellers of fruit seedlings and piglets, and both parties negotiated on the price and quantity, and agreed to come to the store. The time of his delivery.

Another very important issue is the issue of water use. A lot of water may be used in several greenhouses and pig sheds.Originally, he was thinking of connecting the pipe from the front to the back mountain, but after thinking about it, he felt that it would be too long to connect the pipe. It would be more convenient to dig a well here directly to pump groundwater.

It was his father who reminded him later, and Gu Changning remembered that there is a spring on the back side of the mountain. When he was a child, he went up to the mountain with his friends to play. Although the water in that spring is not big, But there is water coming down all year round, so saving it is enough.If the water is collected from here, it will save the money of hiring someone to dig the well. At this time, it can save a penny.

From the time he came back to now, the money in his hands can only be withdrawn every day. From renting land to hiring people to build greenhouses and pigpens, hiring people and buying materials, the money in his pocket can only be withdrawn. The money for buying pig seedlings and fruit seedlings has not been given yet. After calculating the two sums of money, the money in his pocket will be bottomed out.

Now before he goes to bed every day, he will keep an account of the money he spends for the day, so that he can know how much he has spent.

Looking at the account written by a pen on the ledger, if you want to ask him if he is panicking, to be honest, he is still a little panicked.No wonder his father said that the rich man who bought the buns from them had to run away in the end, and now he wants to run away.

It’s really that the mountain here is too big for them. He hasn’t even reached the mountain yet. He just opened up land at the foot of the mountain. Hundreds of thousands of dollars fell down, and he hasn’t even opened his head, let alone continue to work later. How much will it cost.But what can he do now, his people are back, and the money has been thrown away, so he can only grit his teeth and continue working. If he doesn't make a career out of it, he will be sorry for his name as a college student, and he will also be sorry for his family. And the expectations of the whole village.

Taking over the pipes is not too difficult a job, they just buy the materials and pick them up by themselves.

When the mobile phone in his pocket rang, Gu Changning was leading someone to take over the pipe from the back mountain, stopped his work, took out his mobile phone, glanced at it, and connected the phone, "Yes, you press Follow the navigation and walk up, and you will come in to our village... How long will it take? Okay, I will go out to pick you up at the entrance of the village."

After hanging up the phone, he spoke to their village head, Gu, and drove his motorcycle to the entrance of the village to pick him up.

As soon as I got out of the village, I saw a van parked here. Sitting in the driver's seat was a middle-aged man who seemed to be in his fifties. He was white and fat, with a little Mediterranean hair. Already bald, leaving only the outer ring of hair.

"Hello, Boss Liu."

"Hello, Boss Gu."

Gu Changning went forward to say hello to the man in the driver's seat. The two sides confirmed that the other party was the delivery person and the consignee. He said with a smile: "I didn't expect Boss Liu to come so early. I thought you would arrive at noon."

"Hey, I'm afraid you'll be in a hurry, so I'll bring it to you earlier. Does Boss Gu want to see the piglets first?" Master Liu said as he opened the door and got out of the car.

Seeing that someone wanted to get off the car, Gu Changning quickly said, "No, no, don't look at it for now, just put it down later and then look at it." Anyway, the piglets are pulled over at this moment, so it's the same to look at it early or later Yes, to save people from having to get off the bus.

"The pigsty is still behind our village, and we have to drive a little further. It will take a few minutes to get there. Let's go there and see the piglets."

"Okay, let's go together then."

Both of them were driving. Gu Changning led the way on a motorcycle, and Boss Liu followed him in a van. The little piglets behind the car were yelling along the way.

People in the village heard that he bought piglets, and a group of people gathered around to see the piglets.
