Chapter 0023: The Dawn Dawns
Seeing that his mother finally let go, Zeng Wei's hanging heart also relaxed, and said with a smile: "Mom, you will soon find out that this is the wisest decision you have made!"
Yan Chengxiu glared at Zeng Wei and said, "You can skin it, wait until you really lose money next year, I'll let you see the taste of fried meat with bamboo shoots!"
Zeng Wei laughed and said, "Mom, a good dish like fried meat with bamboo shoots in Nan is good to leave for the second sister." Well, this is my income in the past few months, it was originally 2715 yuan, but I used some of it, and now there are 2680 yuan left, all handed over to you. ”
Seeing the money handed over by his son, Yan Chengxiu's face finally showed a smile. However, Zeng Wei's next actions made her unhappy again.
I saw Zeng Wei make a gesture to count the money at her, and said, "But, Mom, should you give some kickbacks? Today is my eighth birthday, can't I say nothing at all?"
Yan Chengxiu glared at Zeng Wei and said: "Thinking about kickbacks at a young age, it's really not good to learn! Don't think about money, didn't you say that you would have to take out a loan to raise pigs next year, how can you have money to waste? ”
With that, she lifted her feet and walked to the back room, intending to put the money away.
When she was at the door, she seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, grandma cooked you two poached eggs in the morning, and put them in the cupboard to cool them with water, did you see them?"
Zeng Wei shook his head and said, "I got up in the morning and went out for two laps, and when I came back, I washed my face and fell asleep." Besides, the cupboard is so high, where can I get it? ”
Yan Chengxiu was stunned for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, I'll take it for you." ”
However, when she put the money away, came out of the back room, and went to the kitchen cupboard to get poached eggs, she found that even the shadow of the eggshell was gone.
Yan Chengxiu's face suddenly darkened, and she said angrily as she walked out: "This girl is really unreasonable, I think she hasn't eaten fried meat with bamboo shoots for a long time!"
Zeng Wei was also speechless, where did he not know that the birthday poached eggs that his grandmother cooked for him had been stolen by his greedy second sister?
However, Zeng Wei couldn't watch the second sister being beaten on her birthday, so she hurriedly grabbed her mother and persuaded her: "Forget Mom, aren't they just two poached eggs, just go back and ask grandma to cook two more for me." Now our family also has a monthly income of two or three thousand, and we no longer rely on those eggs to sell money. ”
………………
Under Zeng Wei's good words, Zeng Tong, the second sister who stole his birthday poached eggs, avoided a meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots, and at lunchtime, she also ate a solid meal of meat.
Before his father returned to work in the tobacco factory, the Zeng family killed the New Year pig.
Because the family's economic conditions have improved, the family originally planned to kill the two fat pigs to sell, but under Zeng Wei's persuasion, they no longer plan to sell them in the market. It was all marinated into bacon and left for next year to eat slowly.
The bacon marinated at home is Zeng Wei's favorite food. In his opinion, the taste of bacon is completely different from fresh meat, and it is much more delicious.
This is the time when he is starting to grow his body, and the food is better, which will greatly benefit his plan to grow taller.
In his previous life, he was short, which actually had a lot to do with the family's financial constraints in the next few years. After all, in the age group of teenagers, I eat potatoes and sweet potatoes every day, and my nutrition really can't keep up.
But there was no way to do it, at that time, the eldest sister was already married, and my father went to work in Western Xinjiang and couldn't find money, so he basically could only support himself. For the sake of their sister and brother's education, as well as the family's production input, the rice produced in the fields and the pigs raised were basically sold, that is, they just left some oil.
Now that he has been reborn for more than four months, he has finally improved the situation at home after all his efforts, and he must not treat his body badly anymore.
………………
From the day after Zeng Wei's 8th birthday, his mother began to act under his urging.
She first took the more than 3,000 yuan from her family, first went to the credit union to pay off the previous debts, and then said that she re-borrowed 30,000 yuan through the relationship of a cousin who was a cashier in the credit union.
This is already the largest amount of loans, and if it weren't for the relationship, it wouldn't have been able to borrow so much money at all.
In fact, Yan Chengxiu was also very nervous about borrowing so much money, but thinking of her son's words, and now the family does have the ability to repay the loan, she still lent the money out of her heart.
This made Zeng Wei very happy, it can be said that it is basically impossible to wait for such an easy loan after the beginning of the year.
By the first half of 1993, inflationary pressures had begun to rise again, and the financial sector was in a state of disorder. In the domestic financial market, a large amount of money is concentrated in the real estate market in the coastal areas, and banks, financial institutions and local governments have evaded the regulations and supervision of the central bank in order to realize their different interests, and have raised a large amount of money for the real estate industry, resulting in an excessive amount of money and a credit scale that has repeatedly exceeded the plan.
Under such circumstances, the central government began to implement a tight monetary policy in the summer of 1993, and it was natural that all localities were moving on to hear about it, and it was very difficult for ordinary people to borrow money from banks.
………………
Now that the money has been loaned out, the family, under the urging of Zeng Wei, has also started to act intensively.
Plastering craftsmen took the lead and began to build the enclosure. Zeng Wei is planning to do a big job, and the original enclosures at home are naturally not enough. According to Zeng Wei's plan, the pig farm that the family wants to build must be able to raise one or two hundred pigs.
The location of the pig farm was determined by Zeng Wei in a field about 300 meters away from his house on the back of the mountain and the river, far away from the house, naturally to avoid the smell of feces and urine in the pig farm, and by the river to facilitate the access to water. After all, raising one or two hundred pigs requires a lot of water.
Of course, Zeng Wei did not consider dumping pig manure into the river, but planned to build a biogas digester with a volume of about 50 cubic meters, and concentrate the pig manure, which can not only produce biogas, which can be used for lighting and other purposes in pig farms, but also the residue is also a good farm fertilizer.
As a reborn person with a strong sense of social responsibility, Zeng Wei knows the consequences of environmental pollution, and he does not want his living environment to be polluted. After all, this is the hometown where he has lived for two lifetimes. So, it doesn't matter if he would rather invest more money in this issue.
In addition, his mother, Yan Chengxiu, also contacted the piglets in Hongxiang and neighboring townships, and when the pen of the pig farm was built, she began to breed.
However, the piglets bought are still fostered in a trusted farmer's home for the time being, which is not a big problem, because a compound is Yan Chengxiu's maiden house, and it is no problem to find a few foster piglets.
There are also several things that are being done at the same time, that is, buying coarse grains such as corn, sweet potatoes, and radishes from farmers to feed piglets after the new year.
Feeding one or two hundred pigs is a huge demand for these coarse grains. Although Zeng Wei did not refuse to feed pigs with feed, the main food was these coarse grains.
Zeng Wei hated the pure feed pork that was flooded in the market in the future, and he didn't want his pig farm to produce such products.
Because of the sharp drop in the price of meat, the price of corn and other grains has also fallen. used to sell for two cents a catty, but now it has dropped to one dime and two, and no one even buys it.
After learning that Zeng Wei's family had purchased a large amount of corn, many people personally asked for it, saying that they could send it to the door at the price of one dime and two cents.
In this regard, Zeng Wei did not refuse to come, as long as there was corn to sell, let his mother buy it, and he didn't need to carry it himself anyway.
Cheaper are sweet potatoes and turnips, both as low as five cents a pound, and they are also delivered to the door in bags.
………………
With so many things, Yan Chengxiu naturally couldn't be busy alone. At Zeng Wei's suggestion, he called his cousin Zeng Youqin and cousin Zeng Youfa, who were idle at home, to help.
Of course, it was not for nothing that he came to help, Zeng Wei gave the two of them a salary of 100 yuan a month, which made the second uncle's family very happy.
Originally, my cousin and cousin had planned to wait for the beginning of the year to go to work in Western Xinjiang, but now they don't need it. Because the income from working in Xijiang is not stable, according to the people who went to Xijiang first, they wrote back that it is all about luck to work there, and if you are lucky, you can earn 35,000 yuan a year, but if you are unlucky, it is likely that even your life will become a problem.
Now I come to Zeng Wei's house to help, not only is it close to home, but also includes food and accommodation, and has a fixed income of 100 yuan per month, which is almost the same as those who serve iron rice bowls.
You must know that Brother Tang, who has just transferred to a local job and is the deputy director of the political and legal office of the township government, has a salary of only 15 a month.
After the two came to Zeng Wei's house, Zeng Wei also divided the work among them, the cousin went around to buy piglets, and the cousin stayed at home, responsible for buying coarse grain, in fact, it was just over-weighing, and then paying the farmers who came to sell things. Then I helped feed the pigs that I already had at home.
In this way, her mother Yan Chengxiu only needs to look at the construction site of the pig farm, which is much easier.
………………
Looking at the busy but methodical home, Zeng Wei finally had some smiles on his face.
Reborn and returned to this time and space, after more than four months of dreaming and sleeping, and exhausted his efforts, he finally initially changed the predicament of his family and changed the fate of his family.
Just yesterday, the eldest sister Zeng Jiao called back and said that the results of their first mock exam had come out, and she did okay in the exam, and she was on the demarcated undergraduate line, and exceeded a lot. If you continue like this, by the time of the college entrance examination in July, you will be admitted to a good undergraduate college, and you may be able to go to a key university.
Zeng Wei believes that after entering the new year, the situation at home will get better and better.
