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

Chapter 58

Song Hongguo's explanation made Zhao Zhenhua's sourness dissipate a little, but he was still envious, and couldn't help sighing, "We don't have such a good thing here. An enamel jar costs at least two industrial papers, and the wages of workers in the factory The high ones can get three cards in two months, and the apprentices can’t get one card in a month.”

Even if I have all the pieces together, I'm not willing to buy an enamel jar. Isn't the thermos fragrant?Aren't washbasins and aluminum lunch boxes more practical?If you wish a little more, you can think about bicycles.

Song Hongguo heard the words, and said, "Then when I have a chance, if I meet someone who doesn't want an industrial roll, I'll bring you one?"

"What do you mean?"

"What's so embarrassing? It's not a free gift. Department stores occasionally have defective products. I'll help you find out. If there are, I'll send them to you."

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhenhua would be outspoken no matter how polite he was, so he agreed cheerfully. The purpose of the talk was, "This year, the commune has assigned tasks to each brigade. At least six pigs must be handed over by the end of the year. If it is less than 140 catties, if you pay too much, there are rewards, but if you can’t complete the task, my father will be criticized and scolded, and if he is thick-skinned, he will carry it over. He is afraid that he will distribute things to the team in the future. Yes, we will suffer."

This is the so-called task pig. Song Hongguo knew about it and nodded, "Then let's raise it. Our team is next to the mountain, so it's easy to hunt pigweed. How many do uncle plan to raise?"

Zhao Zhenhua smiled wryly, "How many more do you have? My father doesn't want to raise any of them."

Song Hongguo was puzzled, "Why? Is it bad to raise pigs?"

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

Zhao Zhenhua explained helplessly, "It is good to raise pigs. It can be handed over to the commune to make money, and the rest can be slaughtered at the end of the year for the members to share and make dumplings for. In the past, our team also raised pigs. , but later the food was not enough to eat, and everyone was hungry, so what can I feed the pigs? Just feeding the pigs will not gain weight, let alone one hundred and four, even one hundred and two are not enough, and some families are hungry In a hurry, I found an excuse to say that the pig died of illness, and I ate it only a few dozen catties..."

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

"That's not true. If you don't raise pigs, you can herd sheep. If you drive the sheep into the mountains, you will be able to eat half full. Besides, the sheep will not delay the growth of meat, but the pigs can't do it, and there are ducks in our team. It is also convenient to raise ducks in the reed pond, they will find food by themselves in the water, and they can lay eggs, which is less laborious than raising pigs.”

"Then can't we replace pigs with sheep and ducks and turn them in?"

Zhao Zhenhua sighed depressingly, "That's how we did it two years ago, but it's not going to work this year. After all, everyone still prefers to eat pork. Mutton is stinky, duck is fishy, ​​and it doesn't smell like pork."

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

Zhao Zhenhua laughed dryly, "It's not encouragement, it's discussion, cousin, with our relationship, how can I cheat you? That's how I thought about it, do you think it's reliable?"

"you say……"

"I won't hide it from you. My father plans to raise ten. By the end of the year, eight will be handed over, and the remaining two will be distributed to the members of the commune for tooth-beating sacrifices. There are now two breeders in the team, Uncle Dong and Uncle Cui. One is herding sheep and the other I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to feed the ducks and take care of the cows, and let them raise pigs again. Of course, it's okay to arrange another breeder at that time, but it's really not enough to raise ten in the team at once, and besides, the pigs are all penned together. , is also easy to get sick, if there is swine fever, it will be finished, so I want to see who is willing to raise it, firstly to share the pressure on the team, and secondly, it is also good for the members themselves..."

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

Originally, he thought that raising pigs was indeed very good, but he suddenly felt that it was not at ease when someone came to his door to distribute them. After all, if it is true that it is all good, then why should everyone rush to raise it?

Zhao Zhenhua took a sip of tea and cleared his throat, "The benefits of raising pigs are obvious. After they are fattened up, they can be sent to the buying station. There are pigs that cost around 100 cents a catty, and pigs that weigh more than 60 catties are still available for five or sixty yuan. Our team Many people have worked hard for a year, and at the end of the year when the food is distributed, they may not be able to leave tens of dollars in their hands. In addition, if the pigs are well raised, they can still issue meat tickets. Dung can fertilize the ground..."

"Then what do you feed them?" Ling Zhi asked with a sullen face.

Zhao Zhenhua choked, and then said helplessly, "This is the biggest problem right now. In the past, who doesn't want to raise it? Cousin, I also thought you have this ability, so I came to you and said, are you here?" Working in the factory, there are food stamps every month, so I can save some money from my mouth, and the two children will go to get some pigweed, and our team can also get some sticks, sweet potato seedlings, so three times If you make a fool of yourself, the pig will grow up, and it’s really useless to replace it with someone else.”

He spoke very earnestly and honestly, and there was a bit of embarrassment in his words. Song Hongguo didn't care. After all, she wanted to raise him at first, and planned to ask Zhao Baoqing, but the plan didn't change quickly, and someone would send him off when she fell asleep. Pillow, like this, she didn't want to be too happy, she pondered for a while, and asked, "Who else did you ask besides me?"

Zhao Zhenhua wiped his face and said with a wry smile, "Who else is there? My family and the other three captains' families are hard-line, otherwise they won't be able to complete the task, and no one will look good."

Song Hong smiled clearly, "How many dogs in a 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, just say thank you, thank you for supporting my father and our team's work."

"My cousin is outrageous when he says this. I should be rewarded for supporting my uncle's work."

"Okay, okay, I will have nothing to say if my cousin has anything to do in the future."

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

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

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

Zhao Zhenhua had nothing to say. People said they were asking him for help, but they turned around and offered money. Is this helping?Obviously take care of him, okay?He used to have only a little face for this cousin who appeared out of nowhere, but now, he is more sincere. He said the real price, then patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, cousin, I will definitely give it to you." The boards are upright, if there is any work in the future, just call me and be sure."

"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 have 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.
