However, listening to the noisy cries of the piglets, Zeng Wei's eyes gradually lit up, and he seemed to have found a way for his family to get rich.

As the saying goes, if you lose your horse, you don't know if you're blessed, but it makes perfect sense.

In my memory, in my previous life, because the price of piglets was too low and I couldn't sell them like this, I finally had six piglets left in the house, so I had to grit my teeth and raise them myself. But no one knew that this would become a decisive event that finally turned around the family's financial difficulties.

It turned out that because the meat price at the end of this year was too low, many people were not optimistic about the matter of raising pigs, and automatically reduced the number of pigs.

However, in the second half of the year, with the rapid growth of the national economy, the recovery of the market and the increase in demand, the price of meat soared rapidly, from more than two yuan at the beginning of the year to five yuan, doubling.

In the end, Zeng Wei's family's 6 fat pigs were sold for more than 6,000 yuan at the end of the year, which was a small fortune and paid off the debts owed in previous years.

Zeng Wei still remembers that at the end of the year, his parents regretted selling the nine little pigs at the beginning of the year, and they were simply beating their chests. But they didn't think about it at all, even if they didn't sell the nine little pigs, the family would be able to afford it.

In fact, the six pigs raised at home, plus a sow, were already busy enough. If it weren't for the eldest sister who just dropped out of school to help at home, she would not have been able to serve at all if she went around to hunt pigweed every day.

For the next few years, pig farming is indeed one of the easiest ways to make a fortune. Because of the continuous high socio-economic growth, coupled with the rapid inflation rate, meat prices have been maintained at a high level. If the mother can listen to her own advice, raise pigs well, and make a fortune, I dare not say, but it is much better than farming.

For example, in the case of this litter of pigs, if the family is raised, by the end of the year, as long as they are well raised, their family will easily become a 10,000 yuan household again, and it is still a net income.

Even in the early 90s, it was still very rare for a mountainous poor county like Gudan, especially for a poor mountain township like Qili Township, to have an annual net income of more than 10,000 yuan.

After all, most families barely solve the problem of food and clothing, and they are still struggling on the poverty line. It is the wave of migrant workers that will rise in the next few years that has solved the financial difficulties of a large number of families.

However, Zeng Wei didn't plan to tell his mother about this idea for the time being, after all, judging from the current market, if he talked to her about this matter, his mother would definitely think that he was a "ghost" again.

………………

One of his biggest wishes since his rebirth was solved, Zeng Wei's mood was much better, and he was even in the mood to listen to the lecture in class.

However, the classes that Zeng Wei really paid attention to were not the two main courses of Chinese and mathematics, let alone the two secondary courses of ideology and morality and nature, but the music, art and physical education classes that were considered useless.

Although the slogan of all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor has been proposed, this problem has not been truly solved until the 2010s. Whether it is parents or students, most people will subconsciously regard these courses as useless idle classes.

Zeng Wei himself doesn't really like these three courses much, but thinks that he has shortcomings in these three aspects.

In terms of music, in his previous life, he can be said to be incomplete in five tones, and as for music theory, he doesn't even understand simple staves, and his singing is sung by imitation singers who stay at the most basic level.

In terms of art, it was even more miserable, and he still remembers that he drew an inkwell sketch in his fourth-grade art class, which was treated as an apple by the art teacher, which made him embarrassed and embarrassed.

In this life, I don't want to become a musician or an art master, but I still have to understand the basics, at least I can pick up the simple score of a song and sing it almost well, and draw a person's sketch so that it will not be judged as an abstract work.

As for physical education class, Zeng Wei was concerned because of his defects in height in his previous life, how could he get rid of the embarrassment of the third-level disability in his previous life in this life, and break through the 1.7-meter mark in height.

………………

Zeng Wei is not a stupid person, and his energy investment in music and art classes makes him very outstanding among the students in the class, which makes Yu Mingju, the teacher in charge of the third-grade art and music classes, favor him.

Speaking of which, Zeng Wei and their teacher Yu are also a big beauty, and she is in the prime of her life, she is the goddess in the hearts of many teachers and township staff in the school.

In Zeng Wei's opinion, this beautiful teacher is not only outstanding in appearance, but also extremely talented, especially in music and art. Although she only graduated from Gu Dan Middle School, Zeng Wei felt that she was no worse than those professional music and art graduates.

At this time, studying in middle school does not mean that the grades are bad. In fact, those who can be admitted to the middle school teacher now are the real scholars. You must know that the annual admission score of Gudan Middle School is at least 20 points higher than the admission line of Gudan No. 1 Middle School, the best high school in Gudan.

Because of Zeng Wei's excellent performance in music and art classes, Yu Mingju also took special care of Zeng Wei and was happy to answer some of Zeng Wei's professional questions about music and art. This allowed Zeng Wei's knowledge of music and art to grow rapidly during this time, and Zeng Wei was quite satisfied with this. Since I was reborn, I have finally learned something in terms of knowledge.

………………

In such a leisurely and fulfilling life, the time came to the middle of December 1992. Zeng Wei also received a remuneration from the magazine "Ancient Legends", and there was still a letter with it.

The generous remuneration was somewhat unexpected by Zeng Wei. Although in the last letter, the magazine "Ancient Legends" has said that his remuneration will rise to a certain extent in this issue, he thinks it will be good to be able to rise to 20 yuan per thousand words.

However, this time, the number shown on his remuneration remittance slip is 600 yuan!

This also means that the remuneration offered to him by the magazine "Ancient Legends" is as high as 50 yuan per thousand words!

This is more than three times higher than the first installment's remuneration, and now in 1992, this level of remuneration is undoubtedly a very sincere price.

Zeng Wei couldn't help but admire, no wonder the "Ancient Legends" magazine was able to grow into a first-class magazine in the country in a short period of time, and achieve long-term success in the future, from their emphasis on the author can be seen some clues.

For a magazine to be successful, efficient management, an excellent editorial team, and a group of powerful authors are all indispensable, and "Legend of the Ancients" undoubtedly satisfies all three aspects.

In the letter, the "Ancient Legends" magazine expressed to Zeng Wei the desire to increase the serialized number of "Sou Shen Ji" every month, and also conveyed a message to him, that is, before the end of the novel "Sou Shen Ji", the "Ancient Legends" magazine will take it as the main work.

These three news undoubtedly made Zeng Wei very happy, and his income will be much higher than he expected before.

Even, according to this level, his serial figures for each issue have doubled, and his monthly income can even reach 600 yuan, which can be regarded as a high-income class in this era. After all, at this time, as the economic center of China, the average salary is only more than 400.

………………

is different from Zeng Wei's happiness, and his mother Yan Chengxiu has been in a bad mood recently.

Zeng Wei's piglet is a month old, and according to the general situation, it is time to consider selling.

However, just 10 days ago, the price of piglets collapsed at a jaw-dropping rate.

It is said that the blessing of Wushuang is not a single line, and the price of pork fell after a game, that is, five days ago.

These two pieces of news mean that the family's income will be greatly lost.

According to her previous estimates, the family's income at the end of the year will be in the form of 2,000 to 3,000. Coupled with her husband's income from the cigarette factory, the family may have a more prosperous New Year.

However, now that the price of pigs and meat has dropped sharply, the situation at home is definitely going to deteriorate, not to mention the prosperous year, I am afraid that I will have to tighten my belt to live.

The eldest daughter has reached the last semester of her third year of high school, and the cost of this semester is probably two or three thousand yuan, plus she will go to college in the fall, and she will have to prepare two or three thousand yuan at that time.

The two little guys have to spend a lot of money.

In such a situation, these two pieces of news are undoubtedly bad news.

The only thing that comforted her a little was that this litter of piglets survived a lot more than expected, and only one was lost, and 15 survived.

When Yan Chengxiu was about to grit his teeth and endure the pain of selling the piglets, the youngest son Zeng Wei spoke again, and he suggested that the family should not sell the piglets for the time being, and wait until the full moon. At that time, it will be a period of time before the year, and maybe because the end of the year is approaching, the price will rise.

Yan Chengxiu thought about it and agreed to Zeng Wei's suggestion. This is mainly due to the performance of her youngest son in the past few months, which has given her a certain amount of confidence.

Following the advice of his youngest son, her husband went to work in a tobacco factory. Things turned out to be as he expected, the last time her husband came home and told her that after New Year's Day, not only would his salary increase by 30 yuan, but also maybe there would be a chance to become a regular.

If the husband can increase his salary, then his annual income will be 14500 yuan, which is a lot. If you can turn into a regular again, the monthly salary will even reach about 200 yuan by then, which is similar to farming at home. But this is an extra income, after all, the family's original income is not much less.

Now that my son is suggesting it again, maybe he will really be right again.

What's more, it is also common to sell pigs after a full two months, and many families who feed sows, because the pigs are too young when they are full of a single month, will raise them for an extra month and then sell them.
