Chapter 40: Grandpa's Choice (1)
Ash used to be a donkey used to transport goods in the breeding farm where Grandpa Song worked.
Later, the farms were converted from military to civilian use, and they were all transported by automobiles, such as backward means of transportation such as donkey carts, which must be eliminated.
Grandpa Song couldn't bear to see that the donkey, which was seven years old and had been with them in the breeding farm for four years, was sold, so he simply bought it with his own money and kept it at home.
Song Kangning walked out of the gate of the hospital and saw the gray ash next to the wall eating bud rice sticks with his head down.
She walked over, touched Ash Ash's head, took out a dog head date that Grandma Zhang stuffed into herself when she was about to be discharged from the hospital, and put it under its mouth: "Little Ash Ash, I invite you to eat something delicious." ”
Ash touched the dog's head date with his mouth, and ate it with relish.
didn't forget to raise his eyes and look at Song Kangning gently, and rubbed her hand that had not yet withdrawn with its donkey face.
Grandpa Song sat in the car: "Wufu, you and Xiao Huan sit down, let's go home!"
Grandpa Song was reluctant to whip the donkey, and waved a whip in the air, and the donkey was very obedient and pulled the cart on the road.
Song Kangning and Song Shanhuan naturally sat on the donkey cart, not caring about the eyes of passers-by.
Although the time has not yet reached 7:15 in the morning, for some employees who are far away from their workplaces, they are already on their way to work on bicycles.
Phoenix is the capital city of Youbei Province and the fourth largest city in the country.
The whole city covers a wide area, not counting the surrounding suburbs, and the urban area alone reaches 1,000 square kilometers. If someone lives in the east of the city and works in the west of the city, it will take him an hour and a half to get there by bicycle.
Corresponding Phoenix is home to a large population, with a registered population of 6 million, even though the family planning policy was implemented eight years ago.
And Song Kangning's family is one of the six million people in Phoenix.
Don't look at them and they don't live in urban areas, but unlike most of the other people who live at the interface of urban and rural areas, all the people in the Song family have urban hukou.
The reason for this incident can be said to be a long time ago, that is, in the early sixties, that is, more than 20 years ago, Grandpa Song, who was a soldier, rose all the way from the cooking squad leader to the secretary and then to the director in charge of logistics in the regiment.
At that time, Grandpa Song was nearly forty years old, and he didn't think much about power, but only thought about how to contribute his meager strength to the construction of the army.
At the beginning of the sixties, the entire country was in a tight supply of food, not to mention meat.
It would be good for the average family to eat meat once or twice a month, but the army is also facing this problem.
Grandpa Song watched the soldiers eating coarse grain steamed buns, sorghum rice and stews without oil and water, although they could eat enough, but the high-intensity training physical strength still couldn't keep up, so he was anxious.
It's a lack of meat!
Grandpa Song is very simple, and he himself likes to eat meat, which is not only fragrant, but also nutritious, and more importantly, people have the strength to eat it.
After repeated consideration, Grandpa Song selflessly typed an application report to his superiors.
He thought of building a breeding farm on the outskirts of the city that specialized in raising pigs and chickens to improve the food problems of the soldiers in the regiment.
The higher-level leaders were very tempted by this application, and if the troops could really have a stable supply of pork and chicken all year round, the combat effectiveness of the entire regiment would certainly be enhanced.
