Chapter 12 Expansion of Territory

Zhao Chunming came again a week later, this time he came to listen to the results, Yan Yuxiang did not shy away from anything, and directly rejected Zhao Chunming's "kindness". In fact, if it weren't for the fact that a few years later, when the husband and wife heard the news of Zhao Chunming's downfall, Yan Xiuping would still be unconvinced, thinking that her husband's conservatism had ruined a great opportunity, of course, this is a later story.

When Zhao Chunming heard that Yan Yuxiang was unwilling to go to the Municipal Development Zone to help him, although he said that it was okay, he never mentioned the matter of Xia Er's recognition of his godfather, which strengthened Yan Yuxiang's judgment from this point on, this friend should not be a deep friend.

After a period of time, Yan Yuxiang was going to start the work of expanding the pigsty, and now it cannot be called a pig factory, because the number of Yan Yuxiang's pigs has not exceeded twenty. Wouldn't it be like laughing off someone else's big teeth?

Yan Yuxiang relied on his own strength to endure hardships, and built two new pigsties on the field behind the toilet, and the wasteland he reclaimed this time, so his family did not embarrass him. In this way, you can raise about 50 pigs at a time, and according to the efficiency of slaughtering once every six months, you can sell 100 pigs a year, which can make a lot of money. Yan Yuxiang silently calculated in his heart.

In the process of building the pigsty, a good news came again, it turned out that Yan Yuxiang had been reluctant to live with his family and wanted to build another yard. It's not because he is subjectively unwilling, firstly, he thinks that the children are older and the family is a little smaller, and secondly, because the relationship between his wife Yan Xiuping and the family is getting worse and worse, and it has reached the point of being out of control, so it is better to separate them a little. That's the main reason why he wanted to build a new house. So I reported to the brigade a long time ago, and even the deposit of 1,000 yuan for the approval of the homestead had been paid for some days. Among them, the happiest is his wife Yan Xiuping, who has wanted to relocate for a long time, and the reason is nothing more than a series of things that have worsened the relationship between her and her relatives in the family. Yan Xiuping has never thought of a reason that the slap doesn't make a sound, and blindly complains to her husband about what is wrong at home. So he has been urging Yan Yuxiang to handle this matter.

The brigade arranged Yan Yuxiang's house in the highest position in the village, which was nominally a "development zone" in the village, but in fact it was deserted. Yan Yuxiang didn't care, as long as he could build a new house quickly and with less trouble, he would be able to concentrate on doing some things that were more valuable to him, and now these housework had tied him too much.

The house was approved when the Chinese New Year was approaching, and when the spring of the second year came, Yan Yuxiang began to divide the site, lay the foundation, and began to build. Although he had just bought a few piglets at that time and had no extra money on hand, Yan Yuxiang thought: There is no endless road, let's talk while repairing. That's his way of doing things.

Since then, Yan Yuxiang has been busy going out early and returning late every day, and even after coming back at night to feed the pigs, he has to go to the construction site to see things. His hard-working spirit made him particularly respected in the village. With the help of relatives and friends, Yan Yuxiang's house was almost the fastest to complete and the least expensive, because he didn't even spend the money of others to hire a craftsman, but thought about starting the construction himself, and as long as there was something bad, he would start again.

In August, a row of four-eyed caves with brushes was completed, and on this day, he specially invited Dongzi's grandfather and grandmother to warm the house. Yan Yuxiang and his wife were lying in their new house, indescribably happy, finally having their own house, and finally being able to stay away from some people and things.

Yan Yuxiang's whole life has been struggling, and the yard of his new house has not been repaired when he moved, but his planning is more than that, so he is not in a hurry at this time. Until Dongzi became an adult, the "mansion" in Yan Yuxiang's planning had not yet been completed, and at this time, this courtyard already had more than a dozen rooms, two garages, two parking lots, and was also heated, equipped with solar energy, water heaters, and toilets, which was just the same as a villa in the city. Of course, this was all something that happened later. It can be said that the matter of repairing the house has run through Yan Yuxiang's life.

In the second year after the house was repaired, he borrowed 50,000 yuan from the town's credit union and began to build a real pig farm. He first chose a place near the back mountain, and then built two rows of pigsties, now his pig farm really became a scale, and some of the people in the village who were active under his drive also began to engage in breeding, and even alarmed the county, and the county magistrate personally praised Yanxiang Village as a breeding village. And special funds have been approved for special use.

The village brigade also responded to the government's call and set up a breeding association, and Yan Yuxiang inevitably became one of them, but he didn't think about anything else, he just wanted his family to live a better life. So when the village proposed that he be the president of the breeding association, he refused.

In those years, the enthusiasm of the village was brought up by the breeding association, and the economy gradually improved. All of a sudden, seven or eight farms were set up in the village, and all of them were pigs. The county animal husbandry station has also set up a sub-station in Yanxiang Village to guide the work of farmers. Not only that, the Yanxiang Village Breeding Association also sent members to the coastal pig provinces to inspect with great fanfare. The people who went also brought back a modified "breeding pig" with local characteristics.

In Yan Yuxiang's heart, he sneered at all this, and even in his opinion, it was the result of those village officials messing around. At first, he also went to listen to the lecture of the county animal husbandry station in Yanxiang Village Primary School, but later he was too lazy to go. Because he thinks it's better to be practical from his own experience. It all started with a lecture organized by the livestock station.

Once, the county animal husbandry station specially invited an expert from the city to talk to them about some problems of sow delivery, so the breeding association asked not only all the farmers to be present, but even the teachers of Yanxiang Village Primary School also asked to mix one or two, because they had to pretend to ask questions from time to time. Yan Yuxiang was the most disgusted by this kind of behavior, but there was no way to do it, because the breeding association required him to go. As a result, this time it caused a big incident.

After they sat down that day, a young breeding expert came up, looking like he had just graduated from college and had not been working for a few years. At first, the experts said that the people below were listening very carefully, but when it came to the sow's birth, there was a fork.

I only heard the expert confidently say: "When the sow gives birth, when it is half an hour after giving birth to the previous piglet, there is only one way to rescue it, which is to quickly inject oxytocin." "Everyone in the village knows that oxytocin is an injection that has only become popular in recent years to help sows give birth.

This time Yan Yuxiang didn't do it, in fact, he had endured it many times before, but this time he didn't hold back. He raised his hand.

The expert on the stage said confidently: "What's the matter with this fellow?"

Yan Yuxiang stood up and said in local dialect: "I don't think what you said is right. As soon as he finished saying this, the crowd of people sitting below for good deeds applauded. They really don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement.

At first, the expert was still very kind and said, "Then if you think there is anything unreasonable, say it and I'll explain it for you." There was a condescending tone in the words.

Yan Yuxiang was annoyed when he heard these remarks. But he still said: "I think the matter of oxytocin should be treated on a case-by-case basis, and it is not necessary to give oxytocin to sows all the time." ”

The expert on the stage waved his hand, as if he had something to say, but Yan Yuxiang did not give him such a chance, and said: "Let me give you an example, how do you say to solve it?" He did not stop, and then said: "When the two little pigs are squeezed onto the farrowing table at the same time, what should I do?"

The farrowing table is the common name of an organ in the sow, and the farrowing table means that the amniotic water of the piglet has been broken, because it is lined up, and the next piglet to come out is this piglet, but when two piglets are on the farrowing table at the same time, it means that not only the piglet may suffocate to death because it cannot breathe in time, but also the sow is also in danger in this case.

The audience applauded, but the experts on the stage were blinded. The knowledge he had didn't involve such a situation, and the routine he had arranged before he came was not like this, and even who was going to ask what question and when he not only knew, but also had the answers ready, and he wondered where this person came from. But he had to answer the questions raised by this bastard.

Although Yan Yuxiang was speechless when he asked him, he didn't want to make a fool of him, so he turned his head to the audience and said, "What do you say should be done?"

Strange to say, no one knows what to do in such a situation, and even they have never seen or even heard of such a situation.

After asking, the enthusiasm of the village name was much lower, and even many people were looking forward to Yan Yuxiang to say the answer to the question.

I saw him say: "This situation should be handled like this, hurry up and ask your wife to make a basin of soapy water, add more soap, and then wash your hands bare," he said while gesturing, "Be sure to wash it to the root of your arm, and then reach in and pull the little pig out!" Hearing this, the people below were in an uproar, this method of operation is really unheard of and unseen. But this is all a method that Yan Yuxiang tried step by step, but this situation is rare, otherwise it is really tried and tested.

The people below, including the experts on the stage, were all impressed by him, but he talked about the excitement and was not finished, only to see him say: "When it is pulled out, the piglet's nose must be cleaned as soon as possible, and then put it in the pile of sawdust prepared in advance, so that it is possible to survive." No one in the audience has been coaxing anymore, they are all listening carefully to Yan Yuxiang's explanation.

I think most people's thoughts at this time are like this: There is a reason why Yan Yuxiang's family's life is getting better and better, he can endure the hardships that others can't endure, and even if someone knows about such a method, who can do it? Eighty percent of people will refuse because they are dirty. But Yan Yuxiang is not such a person, he is a practical executor, in his concept, as long as he can complete the set goal, the way is not important, he can also endure the livelihood that others can't bear.

The expert on the stage was speechless, he didn't know what kind of attitude to use to look at the "fellow" in front of him, and even felt that the person standing on the stage should be him instead of himself.

I saw that after Yan Yuxiang finished speaking, he was a little embarrassed, raised his hand with a red face, and said, "You continue." After thinking about it, he turned his head and added: "This is a local method, there is no scientific advancement, and we have to rely on these experts from the animal husbandry station at a critical time." "He's under the steps of the young experts on the stage. Others couldn't hear it.

This embarrassing lecture ended like this, and the consequence was that if there was a lecture in the future, the village breeding association would not require Yan Yuxiang to participate, but all the big and small matters about pig raising in the village were focused on Yan Yuxiang. In addition to taking care of his own pig farm, he also travels back and forth to other farms in the village to provide targeted guidance. Strange to say, nothing has gone wrong under his guidance.

All of this is inseparable from Yan Yuxiang's hard-working and studiousness, he is selfless and does everything to help others, and even the work that others can't do will definitely help as long as he is there. This is not something that ordinary people can do, especially ordinary people in this era!

His wife, Yan Xiuping, objected to her husband Yan Yuxiang's excessive "enthusiasm", because she felt that this was all Yan Yuxiang's hard-earned experience and knowledge, and should be enjoyed for her own time, rather than shared. She just wants her family to live better than others, but she doesn't want to see other people's families catch up with her. She kept using this big principle to "enlighten" Yan Yuxiang, to make him understand that he couldn't be so honest, but Yan Yuxiang coped with it, but actual action was another matter. However, no one thought that the breeding village of Yanxiang Village was just a flash in the pan. And the reason for the accident turned out to be because of the selfishness of human nature. That's one of the things we're going to talk about later.

Before the accident, everything in Yanxiang Village seemed to be extremely prosperous, Yan Yuxiang through the efforts of the past few years, constantly expanding the pig farm, has become a large pig farmer in this area, and Yan Yuxiang's pig farm in the scale of expansion, not only hired villagers to work as workers, but also to a certain extent to achieve mechanization. From the selection of feed to the slaughter of pigs, Yan Yuxiang personally handled, and his handling method has become a benchmark for all farmers in this area, which is a matter of pride.
