Chapter 389 Preparing to raise pigs
Li Lin and He Xiulian stayed in western Shanxi for more than a month before returning to Shuangshui Village.
At this time, Shuangshui Village was having trouble with Guan Village and Shigejie Village upstream because of the lack of water in the Dongla River.
Now is the time of severe drought. The water level of the Dongla River is lower than in previous years. In order to ensure the water source of their villages, the upstream Gu Guan Village and Shigejie Village have built high dams, resulting in a drop of water in the downstream Shuangshui Village.
Can't even see it,
How can crops survive without water? Isn't this just like killing farmers? The members of Shuangshui Village were so excited that they almost started a fight with two villages.
In the original book, because of this incident, Shuangshui Village secretly opened the embankment at night. In the end, the embankment collapsed and people died.
Fortunately, the situation in this life is a little different. Sun Shaoan is Tian Futang's son-in-law.
He disagreed with the dam opening and wanted to resolve it through negotiation. Although other people in the village also had different opinions, Tian Futang supported it.
Therefore, the matter was successfully resolved through negotiation according to Sun Shaoan's vision.
After this incident, Sun Shaoan's status and prestige in Shuangshui Village became more stable.
Coupled with Tian Futang's support, Sun Shaoan is now basically the leader of Shuangshui Village.
With power comes ideas, and Sun Shaoan is always thinking of doing something to lift the people of Shuangshui Village out of poverty.
But he was just a native farmer. He scratched his head all day long and couldn't think of any good solution.
That night, Sun Shaoan came to Li Lin's place to hang out.
It just so happened that Li Lin bought some pork head meat a few days ago and braised it, and the two of them were going to drink some.
Sun Shaoan sat cross-legged on the kang, ate some meat, drank two bowls of wine, and started talking again,
"I have to say that this meat is delicious, but it's a pity that few people in our village can eat meat regularly. We can't even eat black steamed buns.
Third dad, you are a cultural person and know a lot,
Tell me what I can do to make everyone in the village rich. We don’t require that we be able to eat meat every day, just that we can have a full meal.
No need to eat those black buns every day!
Although our family is doing well now, most of the members still can't even eat enough black steamed buns, which makes me feel really sad!" Then he took another big sip of wine and said:
"Our village still has 20,000 kilograms of grain reserves.
I want to do something with this, Third Dad, can you see if you can do it?"
In these days, wealthy villages usually have strategic grain reserves to prevent the harvest from being lost during severe droughts. Shuangshui Village is considered a wealthy village in the surrounding area, so it has a lot of grain reserves.
This is what Sun Shaoan had in mind,
Li Lin actually didn't really want to help out with any ideas now. After all, everything he did now was done collectively, and he wouldn't have anything left for himself. He was also thinking about doing something with Sun Shaoan after the opening up, but look
Sun Shaoan does have a lot of passion,
Li Lin decided to come up with a simple idea, pondered for a while and said:
"Shao'an, didn't you think that raising pigs was too heavy a burden on the members? You can think of a way in this regard!"
Sun Shaoan was a little confused when he heard this and asked:
"What are you thinking of? The brigade will provide food for the members to raise pigs?"
Li Lin shook his head and said:
"Instead of simply providing grain to raise pigs, we can open a pig farm and raise the pigs together.
In our village, every household now raises one pig, so free-range farming cannot be done on a large scale.
What I mean is that not only do we need to collect all the pigs from the members, but the team can also buy more piglets.
Unified breeding by the team will not only reduce the burden on the members, but may also increase the income of the team.
Raise one or two hundred of them, and in addition to turning them over during the Chinese New Year, you can also kill two of them and share the meat with the members!
But there is one thing. After the scale increases, the epidemic prevention work must be done well. You can go to the county’s epidemic prevention station to inquire about it.
You can ask Tian Fujun about this matter! He is the leader and can definitely help!"
In fact, this idea is very simple, but people at this time lacked knowledge and did not dare to think. After hearing what Li Lin said, Sun Shaoan suddenly understood.
The more he thought about it, the more he realized that this was a good idea. Even if he didn't make much money in the end, as long as it could reduce the burden on the members, he could do it. But he knew that because of the pig incident, the members had been complaining for more than a day or two.
Sun Shaoan was very happy when he thought that he could help reduce the burden of the members, and said with a slightly complaining smile:
"Oh, Third Dad, why didn't you tell me about such a good idea earlier!" He just said this casually, without Li Lin responding, and then muttered excitedly:
"This is really going to work. Pigs don't need to eat good food. When the time comes, they can use the food from the team to exchange for pig grass or some bran or something!"
Well, Uncle Wan Jiang is good at raising pigs. Every year, his pigs are the fattest and strongest. I think Uncle Wan Jiang should be responsible for raising pigs.
No, this is a big matter, we can’t delay it, I have to ask Uncle Wan Jiang!”
Then he said hello to Li Lin and didn't care about drinking. He ran out immediately, probably to find Tian Wanjiang.
He Xiulian was coaxing the child to sleep. Seeing that Sun Shaoan had left and the child had fallen asleep, He Xiulian also sat down next to Li Lin with a curious expression.
"If we open a pig farm and raise more pigs, will we be able to eat meat every day in the future?" As he said this, he couldn't help but get excited at the thought of being able to eat meat freely in the future.
Li Lin couldn't help laughing when he saw this. This girl really dared to think about it. She also ate meat every day. She picked up a piece of pork head with chopsticks and stuffed it into He Xiulian's face. She said with a smile:
"It's early. How can we raise it on a large scale in the beginning? We have to do it bit by bit! It would be good if we can share some pork during the Chinese New Year!"
He Xiulian said while eating the meat in her mouth:
"That would be better than now,
We work so hard to raise an ancestor, and we can’t put anything in our mouths all year round.
If the team can support it, I will support it even if the meat is not separated!" After saying that, he smiled and said:
"Of course, it's best if you can divide the meat!"
Li Lin smiled deliberately when he heard this:
"Look at you, don't our family often eat meat now?
You are greedy and obsessed with money!"
Upon hearing this, He Xiulian said confidently:
"What's wrong with me? Our money doesn't come from the strong wind.
If the public can produce meat, then we don’t have to buy it ourselves! The money saved can be saved to wait for Zhuang Zhuang to marry his mother-in-law in the future!" As he said that, he picked up his fingers seriously and started to calculate.
Seeing He Xiulian so cute, Li Lin couldn't help but pounce on her,
"Don't think about marrying Zhuang Zhuang's mother-in-law now, let's give Zhuang Zhuang a little sister first!"
…
After Sun Shaoan came out of Li Lin's house, he first went to find Tian Wanjiang, a pig-raising expert. Tian Wanjiang immediately gave his firm support.
After all, this is definitely a good thing for him personally and for the members of the society. The family can save a lot of food by not raising pigs.
He chattered a lot about his experience in raising pigs, and repeatedly promised that if he came to raise pigs, he would be able to make the pigs in the farm fat and strong.
The technicians all said it was OK. Early the next morning, Sun Shaoan immediately went to his father-in-law Tian Futang to discuss with confidence.
Prepare for Tian Futang to convene a meeting of all major branch committees to discuss,
Unexpectedly, Tian Futang shook his head when he heard this, and said to Sun Shaoan sincerely:
"Shaoan,
I don't agree with you opening a pig farm now. Opening a pig farm is a big deal and it is risky.
As long as this pig farm is done well, that's all. What if something goes wrong?
Think about the consequences for you? Can everyone get around you?
Even if you have good intentions, there is no guarantee that others will not think too much of you.
Don’t forget, Jin Junshan and Jin Junwu of Jinjiawan are not fuel-efficient lamps!
You haven't officially taken over my duties yet, so it's better to be quiet than to move, do you understand?"
Sun Shao'an was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he understood what Tian Futang meant, and suddenly felt a little dumbfounded.
He didn't attach much importance to the position of party secretary. As long as he wanted to do something to help the members get rid of their ordinary poverty and reduce their burden, he said with a smile:
"Dad, I don't want to think about this now. It doesn't matter whether I am the party secretary or not.
Now I just want to wholeheartedly improve the situation of our Shuangshui Village.
As long as it can benefit the members, I don’t care about anything else!”
"Oh, you piece of shit, you don't care, I don't care,
You are my woman's man now, how can I not think about you?
