There is no banquet in the world, and this class reunion began at half past eleven in the morning and ended at half past five in the afternoon.

The students who are far away have to go home, and the only means of transportation is bicycles, so it is too late to do it.

In 2002, private cars were still something that ordinary people couldn't think of, even if Qu Changqing, Liu Zhen, Han Kang, Han Haixia and Song Tao had money in their families, they were all over the world with a bicycle.

Although there are a few sedan cars in each village, they are all big bosses, and there is no big boss's child in Wang Shaodong's class. If you want to say that the richest person may be regarded as Han Haixia's family, she is the daughter of Han Kezhi, the Han family's cold drink that has formed a monopoly in Gangcheng County. However, even such a family did not have a private car in 2002.

There are only three buses in Gangcheng County to go around in the county, and they can't go to such a remote place as Taohualing Village.

After sending off the last classmate, Wang Shaodong and Ma Lili, who were standing under the old archway in Taohualing Village, looked at each other.

"I'm so tired. Ma Lili stretched her arms, yawned, and shook her neck.

Ma Lili's cheeks were crimson, and it looked like she should have drunk some beer. Many women in the countryside drink alcohol, some more than men. Wang Shaodong didn't feel disgusting about this. As long as you don't delay things by drinking, drinking a little wine is nothing. Zeng Guofan once said a passage about how to identify a person's character, and the method is very simple, that is, let him watch his performance after he is drunk. If you make trouble after drinking, your character will probably not be good.

"I panicked. Wang Shaodong hiccuped, turned his head and looked at the Nanhe River a hundred meters away, which flowed down for another ten miles to the Muwen River, and then the Muwen River flowed another thirty miles to the Dawen River. The Dawen River is the source of Dawenkou culture and an important part of Chinese culture. Wang Shaodong calculated, it was hot enough today, and after drinking so much wine, it would be difficult to fall asleep tonight if he didn't take a bath in the Nanhe River at night.

While speaking, Wang Shaodong turned around, and then Ma Lili also turned around, ready to go back.

From the archway at the head of Taohualing Village to the chicken farm of the two families, there is only a dirt road about 20 meters long. The dirt road used to be a potholed hillside, but it was just smoothed yesterday.

"Shaodong, let's go home and wait for the call. ”

Wang Shaodong nodded and agreed. More than 20 classmates, Wang Shaodong and Ma Lili told them to report their safety when they got home.

If you are close to home, such as An Gang in Qingquanling Village, you can reach your home in ten minutes. Even if they are far away, like Song Tao and Han Haixia, they can get home in about an hour.

When sending his classmates just now, Wang Shaodong and Ma Lili walked side by side, with a great husband and wife demeanor, which made Wang Shaodong secretly happy. In this life, getting Ma Lili is his top priority.

Wang Shaodong thinks that looking for a daughter-in-law is not to say that the more beautiful the better, but to say that the most suitable is the best. What is suitable? Knowing the roots, being in love, and being the right person, he and Ma Lili are definitely the most suitable couple.

After returning home, Wang Shaodong saw that his parents were busy cleaning up the mess caused by the party, and he joined in.

Wang Fumin was playing a tune and looked very happy. It can be seen that his son is very popular in the school, and he is proud of the fact that so many people have come to the house.

What can I not be proud of my son? My son is obedient and sensible, his academic performance has always been among the best, and there is nothing in his neighbors and teachers that he does not boast of, and he is not proud, but he is modest and low-key.

"Son, are you drunk?" Wang Fumin grinned and looked at his son.

Wang Fumin is a good drinker, and he is also a little happy to see that his son has his own style. The son is already an adult this year, and the two of them can really make a small dish and have a drink in the future.

Wang Shaodong also smiled and shook his head: "Dad, I'm not drunk." ”

Wang Fumin nodded with satisfaction, and Zhao Shiling, who was sweeping the floor on the other side, nagged: "The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, the old one can't wait to soak in the wine vat all day, and the small one is also a material that doesn't want to die when he sees wine." I don't know what's so good about that cow and horse urine, why did I lose you two?"

Listening to his mother's words, Wang Shaodong secretly covered his mouth and laughed. Wang Fumin, on the other hand, became serious.

"Hey, hey, women, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, which man doesn't drink? ”

As he spoke, Wang Fumin looked up at the large glass bottle of medicinal wine that he treasured. This time, his brother-in-law Zhao Shihai put a little white snake in it again, and the little white snake still occasionally moved twice.

It is said that a snake soaked in wine can live for a year or two without dying, which Wang Shaodong has never seen since he was a child, but he has heard many people say it.

Zhao Shiling stopped, rested, and then asked Wang Fumin: "Boss, I heard her say when I was talking to Zhentang's daughter-in-law just now, their family plans to dispose of the chicken pen manure quickly, and then prepare to put on the chickens." ”

In his previous life, Wang Shaodong remembered clearly that in the breeding area of Taohualing Village, chicken farmers and duck farmers were all infected with avian flu in mid to late July, and then four farmers suffered heavy losses. Then, the heartbroken farmer had no intention of getting chickens for a month. Later, the price of chicken seedlings plummeted, and Ma Zhentang couldn't stand the temptation, so he made a big job, earning 300,000 yuan at the end of the year.

According to Wang Shaodong's plan, everyone will be relaxed during this time, and then when the time is ripe after a month, he will find a way to encourage everyone to go to chicken. At that time, it was a live rooster that was sold at the end of the year, and it was naturally easy to make money.

It's too risky to get on the chicken now.

The first is the risk of avian influenza, which swept through the mountainous areas of Luzhong in late July 2002. If you go to chicken at this time, you will just catch up with bad luck.

Then, there's the price risk. With the outbreak of avian influenza, the common people realized that the chickens could not be eaten, which then led to the almost collapse of the live chicken market and the huge losses of chicken farms.

With these two major risks, it is definitely not a wise move to go to the chicken now.

After listening to Zhao Shiling's words, Wang Fumin nodded and said: "Well, a batch of chickens in four months, prepare now, and the chickens will be on in half a month, and they will start selling at the end of the year." When the time comes, we will take part of the cart, and then leave a part to sell at the Dazhai Village New Year's Market, which will definitely be sold at a good price. ”

Because of making money, Wang Fumin seems to have forgotten about the outbreak of poultry epidemics around him.

"But, Dad, there's a chicken plague going on around. ”

Avian influenza, in fact, is also chicken plague, commonly known as European chicken plague, which is different from our Asian chicken plague Newcastle disease.

"What's such a coincidence? Our side is relatively closed, and the chicken plague can't be spread. ”

Yesterday, I was still scared, and after selling the chickens, I didn't take such a serious matter seriously.

Sometimes, people are like this, confused.
