Chapter 19: The Most Typical Disaster of Winter
"Yuanguo, I have also looked at the thread in your home, and the last batch of three-no products is the same category, I simply turned all the threads in your house into the ones I bought today, so safe. In addition, I have protected the open line leading to my home in the yard with plastic and steel pipes, so there will be no danger of electricity leakage no matter whether it rains or snows. ”
After another afternoon of tossing, Jiang Xiaoliang's face had already become like a big cat.
However, he didn't complain, and helped Jiang Yuanguo deal with these things with a smile.
Jiang Yuanguo is an only child and has no brothers and sisters, so he can't experience this kind of affection between brothers and sisters.
But Jiang Xiaoliang is different, Jiang Xiaoliang is naturally warm-hearted, especially that although Jiang Yuanguo has been out for many years, the connection between the two of them has never been broken, and the old relationship has never disappeared.
can be used to describe the relationship between Jiang Xiaoliang and Jiang Yuanguo in one sentence.
Not a brother, but better than a brother.
Jiang Yuanguo didn't want to trouble Jiang Xiaoliang, but his personality made Jiang Yuanguo have no way to refuse.
After dealing with this matter, it was already dark, Jiang Yuanguo originally wanted to keep Jiang Xiaoliang to eat at home, but he washed his face here, and said with a smile: "Let's eat next time, the family is still waiting for me to go back." And if you don't go back for a day, your family will be worried. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuanguo was not reluctant, and let Jiang Xiaoliang leave.
"Yuanguo, don't forget Xiao Liang's love for you in the future. You are an only child, but he has treated you as an elder brother since he was a child, and you have to cherish this affection. Father Jiang said loudly with a straight face.
Jiang Yuanguo smiled at Father Jiang: "Father, don't worry, you don't know who we are?" Moreover, Xiao Liang also knows about the situation of my family. When I was not at home, he and her daughter-in-law and children often came to visit you, just because of the affection for taking care of our family, and I couldn't treat others badly.
"Hey......"
Father Jiang smiled, responded to Jiang Yuanguo, and did not speak again. The two of them just chatted while eating.
The next day, Jiang Yuanguo and Jiang's father got up early in the morning and went down the mountain to the farm, and the rows of piglets looked significantly fatter than when they came back. After checking the power supply and heating system, Jiang Yuanguo cleaned up the manure in the pig pen one by one, then checked the drinking water, and selected 1-2 heads from each pen for a simple inspection.
When he arrived at the sow's side, Jiang Yuanguo felt his brows jump suddenly as soon as he entered.
When I looked closely, I found that the feed in several pens was arched in a mess, and the sows in the pens were not the same as usual. There are two sows in each pen, and when Jiang Yuanguo usually inspects, they are either quietly huddled together, or eating feed.
But today is different, these sows seem to be restless, some eat and walk, and some mess over the feed, as if they are very unstable.
A thought flashed through Jiang Yuanguo's mind, which was a bit like the symptoms of a sow in estrus.
After thinking about it, he still called Jiang Zhoucheng.
The sow's estrus is a big deal, and after the two of them chatted a few words and hung up the phone, they made a video call with WeChat.
After being connected, Jiang Yuanguo pointed the camera at the sows in the pen, and then Jiang's father inspected the sows according to Jiang Zhoucheng's command to see if there were more obvious characteristics on the sows.
I saw that Jiang's father pressed his hand on the waist of the sow's buttocks, and the sow was very stable, with her limbs erect and her ears erected to show an "upright reflex".
"You can breed 8-12 hours after the upright reflex, but, Yuanguo, given that you are all primiparous here, I suggest that you mate later, preferably before the end of estrus, after all, the old mate is young, the young mate is late, and the old man is not much in the middle!" Jiang Zhoucheng said happily.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Jiang, I still have a few questions......"
Knowing that the sow could be artificially inseminated, Jiang Yuanguo suddenly blossomed, and asked a few related questions, after exploring this matter clearly, Jiang Zhoucheng was still not at ease, saying that he brought a few people over to help today, Jiang Yuanguo heard it, and immediately thanked him again and again.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuanguo took a deep breath, then looked at his arm that was still in a plaster, and couldn't help but sigh again.
When noon was approaching the afternoon, Jiang Zhouguo came with three people. The group chatted a few words, and after disinfection, they entered the sow's pig shed.
With Jiang Zhoucheng and his partner there, Jiang Yuanguo watched and studied at the same time, handed something to him from time to time, and then continued to study.
When everything was over, it was already dark, Jiang's father had already cooked on the small stove in the dormitory, Jiang Zhoucheng and the others washed their hands and disinfected again, and then came to the dormitory.
"Sows must avoid stress before and after insemination, prohibit sows from drinking cold water, and do not pat the sow's buttocks too hard, so that the sow is frightened and secretes adrenaline, which adversely affects the fertilization of eggs......"
Several people sat on the stools in the dormitory, and Jiang Zhoucheng unhurriedly told Jiang Yuanguo about the precautions.
In fact, Jiang Yuanguo had already learned this knowledge when he participated in the training and studied by himself in the later stage. But Jiang Zhoucheng is an expert in this area after all, and Jiang Yuanguo still listens to some detailed knowledge derived from practice.
Fortunately, it was not the right hand that was injured, and Jiang Zhoucheng deliberately spoke slowly, so Jiang Yuanguo still wrote it down word for word.
After eating, Jiang Yuanguo hurried to the sow shed to let them move as much as possible, and then went every once in a while, like a worried old father.
That night, Jiang Zhoucheng and a few people stayed here. Jiang Yuanguo was about to inspect the pig shed before going to bed, but he didn't expect Jiang Zhoucheng to be interested and want to inspect with him.
Jiang Yuanguo was very happy, the two of them put on protective clothing, disinfected, and started the last inspection of the day.
At night, the piglets were drowsy, Jiang Yuanguo and Jiang Zhoucheng chatted in a low voice while walking, and finally arrived at the sow shed and began to observe seriously.
Seeing Jiang Zhoucheng nodding again and again, Jiang Yuanguo's heart finally let go.
The next day, after breakfast, Jiang Zhoucheng set off early, and when he left, he did not forget to tell Jiang Yuanguo that the weather was getting colder and colder, and the insulation system in the shed must not have problems.
Jiang Yuanguo nodded again and again in his heart, and after sending Jiang Zhoucheng away, he immediately went to inspect the pig shed again.
Coming out of the pig barn, the sky was sprinkled with light snow, at first it was light snow, but as time progressed, the snowflakes became larger and larger, and even turned into moderate snow.
Such a big snowflake made Jiang Yuanguo feel the crisis. It wasn't just the matter of the farm, the crops sown in the twenty acres of land around the farm, he suddenly remembered that although he had made simple insulation facilities, the most important plastic film, he forgot to cover the crops in early winter.
He hadn't farmed for a long time, and he forgot about this important event. Father Jiang didn't remind him either, it seemed that it was because Jiang Yuanguo grew up in the countryside when he was a child, thinking that he would not make such a low-level mistake.
Jiang Yuanguo patted his head fiercely, for him, this is not a trivial matter, if the temperature is not well controlled, the crops will die.
Once the crops die, the next year's feed will be all lost. Aside from the issue of feed, it took a lot of time and money just to buy seeds for crops and water the fields.
This time, he made a solid mistake.
But after thinking about it, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't completely relax. Because he chose crops that are resistant to cold in winter, although they are not covered with plastic film, the loss should not be particularly large.
Even so, he can't take it lightly, and he still has to do what he needs to do. Although it is now a matter of making amends, this matter still has to be done.
Thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and called Jiang Xiaoliang, the other party was idle at home, and when he heard this, he immediately came to Jiang Yuanguo's side and pulled Jiang Yu halfway.
Twenty acres of land to build plastic film is not a small project, but fortunately, when Jiang Yuanguo thought of this, he hurriedly bought plastic sheets and put them in the warehouse.
Dressed in down jackets and hats, the three men went to the fields near the farm with materials and machines.
However, when he was working on the fields near the farm, Jiang Yuanguo found a problem.
This time the snow fell so heavily that it almost covered the surface to a depth of twenty centimeters. In this case, when the farmland was first handled, the ravines of the fields were covered by snowflakes.
In this case, he simply had no way to accurately find the ravines in the farmland.
If you can't find a gully, not only will there be problems when watering, but now, there is no way to cover it with plastic film.
He thought about it, there was no special way, but to clear the thick layer of snow on it first, so that he could see the original appearance of the surface farmland.
Jiang Yuanguo knew that there would definitely be no way to remove the snow from the twenty acres of fields in a short period of time. He thought about it for a while, and finally consulted with the village manager to see if he could use the labor force in the village to help him do this job.
Even if it is not covered with plastic film, crops can grow. However, there is no guarantee of crop survival. Especially cabbage and carrots. Wheat is okay and has strong cold resistance, but the rest of the weather can't withstand such cold weather.
Jiang Shiren heard Jiang Yuanguo say this, and came to the spirit. The farm opened by Jiang Yuanguo started from scratch, but he saw it all. The 20 acres of rented land alone have raised the reputation of the people in the village to a higher level.
Because of Jiang Yuanguo, it really brought them some benefits.
Not to mention this time.
Jiang Yuanguo also said just now that there must be a reward for dealing with snow. He certainly couldn't let the villagers do it for nothing. Otherwise, how could he continue to run a farm in this village? Wouldn't that be a hegemonic landowner?
The village chief and Jiang Yuanguo discussed for a while, and decided to hold a village meeting to tell the people in the village about this matter. After all, this is not a trivial matter, and the matter of crops cannot be delayed, and it was only in the depths of winter that Jiang Yuanguo had made this matter too urgent.
The people in the village were very simple and down-to-earth, and as soon as they heard the loudspeaker in the village say this, the laborers of all sizes in the village hurriedly went to the village committee.
The existence of the village committee itself is to maintain the normal operation of the village, and it often holds some such large-scale village meetings, or to notify everyone to receive the benefits given by the above, and other things. Of course, this time is no exception.
After all, the only way to mobilize the labor force of the whole village is the loudspeaker of the village committee.
