Chapter 235: Alfalfa Pig Farming

Before and after the rain in the valley, point melons and plant beans. This year, there is little spring land in the team, only 100 acres of cotton, 10 acres of spring sweet potatoes, and 50 acres of melon orchards. Although the income from growing melons is high, the village still does not dare to expand the area because of the difficulty of selling melons.

Millet, millet and other miscellaneous grains can be planted in summer, although the yield is lower, but the area of these crops is not large, and it cannot affect the overall situation.

Most of the family's own land has been reserved for spring, and everyone is ready to plant cotton. Although the team distributed a lot of cotton last year, everyone saw the income of the second grandmother's family planting cotton, and felt that it was appropriate to plant cotton.

Youyou knows that this year's spring crops are all blind work, and there will be a big flood in early July of the solar calendar, and the spring crops will not be completed. However, neither grandma nor her dared to tell the truth.

When everyone has planted the cotton and melons, it is time to harvest the alfalfa in the river beach. Alfalfa grass is harvested twice a year in the first year, and then once a month from the beginning of May of the solar calendar every year. Therefore, even if the number of pigs and sheep fed by the team and each household is doubled, there is absolutely no problem with forage.

After the work in the field is done, the team organizes everyone to harvest alfalfa grass, which is dry in spring and the temperature is suitable, and the alfalfa grass dries very quickly, and the quality is good. In order to take care of everyone, the collective harvest starts from a distance.

The villagers used the morning and evening time to cut the alfalfa in the vicinity and dry it for their own use. Seeing that the alfalfa grew fast, everyone began to re-plan.

I'm going to do a big job this year and feed more pigs. Everyone was cutting alfalfa in the river beach and discussing the problem of breeding enthusiastically.

"This year, the alfalfa grass grows really fast, and at first I was worried that it would not be enough to feed, but looking at the formation, even if I feed more pigs, I can't eat it. ”

"But isn't it, the aid to the DPRK said, I can cut it once a month in the future, I already knew that I wanted a few more pigs, I was afraid that there was nothing to feed, so I only needed 4 heads. ”

"Let's be content, feed too much, Grandma Yoyo can't sell it, if it is handed over to the food station, it will cost you to sell one end at both ends." ”

"That's also a lot of feeding, let's just take some strength, and it's not the same as before, we have to feed the grain and top dressing. You see, the people in Shimiao Village have not all bought it for the food station, and every family has also made a lot of money. ”

"I think it's rare, earlier we fed the pigs, feeding a year is less than 200 catties, you look at the roots, half a year to feed 200 catties, I also try this year, anyway, there is something to feed. ”

"That's really the case, the pig seedlings that the DPRK bought for us are good, they are willing to eat and sleep, and they grow fast. ”

After listening to everyone's discussions, his eyes lit up, and feeding pigs is also a good way to increase everyone's income. Fortunately, alfalfa can still be harvested once in early June. Looking at last year's production, it was enough to feed 20 heads per family.

Last year, alfalfa was harvested twice, four pigs were fed to each family, and 100 were fed to the team. Not only in the team, but also in each family, there are a lot of dried alfalfa left, and everyone says that it is enough to feed half more.

In fact, last year's alfalfa on the river beach, everyone harvested more than half, and the rest was collected by Youyou.

This year's alfalfa is better than last year's, and if everyone puts it away, just these two times will be enough. What's more, the first crop of alfalfa in spring is of the best quality and has the highest protein content.

The people of Shimiao Village did not work hard to harvest alfalfa because of the large amount of spring land left in the team. In fact, in the river beach adjacent to their village, the alfalfa is better than that of Hantun Village.

The key is that the people in their village are still not as bold as the people in Hantun Village, and each family has grown from two pigs last year to four this year. After last year's practice, everyone also knows how much forage to prepare, and just collect enough forage for their own use.

Hantun Village due to the planting of dustpan willows, the area of alfalfa is much less, if it were not for the Yellow River bend, leaving a large area of river beach, Hantun Village really does not have much alfalfa. There must be more than 200 acres of land on the river beach, and some of it is also planted with dustpan willows.

Since then, this river beach has belonged to Hantun Village. In the past few years, the Yellow River has moved one kilometer northward, and Hantun Village has nearly 2,000 acres of river beach land. During the land census, the commune saw the dustpan willows planted in Hantun, so they assigned all the land to Hantun Village.

In fact, these are ownerless lands, and Shimiao Village also has a lot of river beaches, but they are not as long as the riverbank of Hantun, and the area is not as large as that of Hantun.

In particular, the big turn of the Yellow River left a great wealth to Hantun, and later the famous Yellow River Viewing Garden was built here.

Youyou saw that the alfalfa in the stone temple were all blooming, and their village still didn't accept them, so he took advantage of everyone's inattention to collect all the alfalfa in their village. If you don't harvest it, it will be wasted, and it will also affect the yield of the next crop.

In mid-April of the solar calendar, the 18 sows fed by the team gave birth one after another, and a total of 162 piglets were born. This is the first child, and Han Yumin said that the second child can give birth to more than ten heads in one litter.

There are more pigs, and two more people have been added to the farm, this time to keep another 40 sows. The village needs at least 1,000 piglets a year, and at least 50 sows have to be raised.

On the twentieth day of April in the lunar calendar, my father went to Linshui to participate in the district-wide health system commendation meeting, which was the first time he was commended after settling down.

I heard that for the sake of my father, the county and the region fought for it several times, and the key is that my father's identity is restricted. But in the end, it passed.

This incident had a great impact on my father, who used to treat everyone wholeheartedly, and was not very enthusiastic about things in the outside world.

This commendation proves that he is still respected, and his dedication and medical skills are recognized by people.

Participating in this commendation meeting, Dad's reputation became even greater. People know that there is a famous doctor in Hantun Village who has been decentralized from Kyoto. People keep coming to ask my father to come to the doctor, and many patients come to visit.

There are also those who are hundreds of miles away. Of course, these are all family conditions are good, and most of them are suffering from incurable diseases.

Since I've come, I can't go back for a lot of the day. First, the distance is long, and now the means of transportation are backward, there are only three jeeps in one county, one each for the county party committee, the county government, and the county armed forces department, and the public security bureau is all on three wheels.

The second is the need for treatment. The best treatment for incurable diseases is the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, which is also Yoyod's specialty. However, TCM practitioners need to adjust the prescription in time, and a course of treatment should take at least seven days.

Thanks to Guilian's family moving, the house where the Youyou family used to live was vacant, and there was a kitchen, so the village picked it up. Let the patients who really can't go back have a place to settle down temporarily, and the village can also collect some fees.

After coming and going, it was rumored outside that a hospital had opened in Hantun Village, and there were wards, and more and more people came. The team had to divide the house where my grandmother originally opened a sales outlet into two single rooms, so that there were three separate rooms.
