This day coincides with the fork in the river. More than 100 people crowded in the courtyard, in addition to the trainees of the training, there were many villagers who rushed to the scene, where could people who came to the government to do business miss this lively scene. Wei Dengshou finally raised his head—the piglets that Shufen fed were about to surpass those in other townships in terms of size—except for the one adopted by Nie Renhao. And another pig in his own township is not inferior.

Except for the two pigs that Lin Mu and Shiqiao bet on, the other ten had swollen bellies, obviously to increase the weight, just let these beasts have a full meal, and it is the two pigs in Chahe Township that make people laugh and laugh off their big teeth, and they are so swollen that they can't stand up. As the host, the secretary of the party committee of Chahe Township stood next to Deputy County Magistrate Zhang, blowing his beard angrily and glaring, his face was red to the base of his neck, and he looked at the deputy township magistrate of Chahe viciously.

The masters of the regional animal husbandry station came to Chahe again, and together with the staff of the township animal husbandry station, they witnessed the results of these farmers feeding pigs, and recorded the number of jù in a small book. The staff first weighed the weight of the pig cage, and then brought the pig basket with the name of the township to the front of it, and checked the piglets all over to prevent other cheating possibilities other than feeding.

Deputy County Magistrate Zhang, Director Liang, and the secretary of Chahe set up an empty dragon gate array, and the clerk of Chahe brought a stool and several leaders sat down -- this did not affect them at all to observe this lively moment, and the two young men of the animal husbandry station had already stood on the table tennis table in the courtyard with a weighing pole, and let go of their voices and shouted, and the people watching the battle held their breath and waited for the final word.

A representative from each township was sent to help a young man from the animal husbandry station carry the scale bar, and another staff member checked the scale of the scale, and then found the weight at the time of adoption and calculated the length of the period.

"No. 1 Wulong Township, Ninety-eight Pounds and Eight Taels ......" The staff and the representative of the pig repeatedly checked the scale and announced the results very carefully.

Another staff member quickly calculated the results, and then loudly announced: "Forty-eight pounds of Lu Liang have grown!" ”

"No. 2 Wulong Township, ninety-seven pounds and two taels...... Forty pounds and four taels have grown! ”

One by one, the numbers poured into the ears of those present, sometimes with shouts of victory, sometimes with laments of frustration. In any case, the students are proud of their achievements, although they sit in the auditorium or freeze in the fields by the river every day, most of them are carefully caring for these little piglets, and those dozens of pounds of meat fat are more proud than feeding a fat pig in their hometown.

Of course, No. 2 Linmu Township and No. 2 Shiqiao Township should be put last. The two big guys who didn't put them in the cage instantly "turned friends into enemies", and they both tied their necks with ropes, and the owner grabbed the other end of the rope, and the two "second senior brothers" who usually walked together and whispered together, suddenly looked at each other hostilely, and made a rough sound of "grunt" in their mouths.

Linmu Township No. 2 is already a pure white shelf pig, compared with the little piglet more than a month ago, it has obviously entered the juvenile, and its ears are erected upward, as if it is the only one who has to win. Shiqiao Township No. 2 was like a shy little girl, with a few small flowers on her white body and head, but she was a little afraid of this noisy scene, and after a whole mess to no avail, the owner was sweating profusely, and it lay down next to Shufen in despair, arching the mud on the ground weakly.

"There are also two big guys, is Secretary Nie's 'Xiaobai' heavier, or Yang Shufen's 'Xiaohua' is better......" Director Liang suddenly became interested, left the deputy county magistrate, and strode onto the table tennis table, arousing everyone's appetite.

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and the bets on buying horses before were still counting, but there were about two heads, but no one knew the bottom of the scale, and their nervousness at this time was worse than that of the pig who had just called his hometown.

Shufen secretly glanced at "Xiaobai", the majestic and high-spirited momentum made Shufen's hot sweat just now turn into a cold sweat, I don't know if I was nervous or dazzled, I looked at "Xiaobai" who was about the same size as "Xiaohua" yesterday, why does it seem to have grown a lot now. She agreed with "Nie Guoren" that no one is allowed to cheat, and the feed and pigs are prepared together at noon, so I won't go to talk about him cheating just now, right? Looking at the "little flower" lying beside him, he actually drooped his ears and basked in the sun leisurely with his belly.

"Which of you two will come first?" Director Liang personally became a notary public.

Shufen held the rope tightly with one hand, and the other hand slowly contracted, the rope became shorter and shorter, and the neck of "Xiaohua" may have been strangled.

"Yang Shufen, you let 'Xiaohua' come first?"

"No...... Don't ......" Shufen was so nervous that she didn't know what to do, and the humility and arrogance in the conference room just now became speechless, and she just pulled the rope back one by one. Nie Renhao on the side saw that she couldn't hold it, so he stretched out his hand and pulled it, but he didn't expect his pig to run out again. However, he quickly took control of the situation.

"I'll come first!" Nie Renhao grabbed the pig's ears with one hand, and lifted the pig's hind legs with the other hand and stuffed them into the pig cage under the table.

Shufen was shocked, her heartbeat kept accelerating, that "Xiaobai" was obviously about to break through the cage, and she must have lost! She squatted down and gently stroked the "little flower" that had just been in love, and she didn't dare to raise her head.

"No. 2 Linmu Township, fifty-seven o'clock Lu ......" Director Liang paused, "Kilograms!" He deliberately sold the guanzi and changed the unit of measurement, which caused a burst of embarrassment, followed by a whole round of exclamations and cheers.

Shufen's trembling legs could barely support her whole body, but she had to face this cruel end, and she regretted her bet a little - although she was ready to lose, she bought a new notebook and copied her notes - she planned to give the excerpt to Secretary Nie if she lost. But how much she liked the pen in Secretary Nie's pocket, when she borrowed it that day to write, she felt that the handwriting had become much more beautiful! And now more importantly, she doesn't want to lose in front of this public, she looked at Xiaohua, who was full of mud, and suddenly forgot about this gamble, at this time, how reluctant she was, because once she got on the scale, Xiaohua would be separated from her. After nearly two months of careful care and meticulous care, she has regarded her as a part of herself, maybe this relationship is no less than the old scalper with Yangjiawan!

However, any reluctance was to no avail, because Township Chief Wei had already helped her bring "Xiaohua" to the cage. Shufen had red eyes, and the moment the cage was hung with the scale hook, she suddenly ran away!

"No. 2 Shiqiao Township, one hundred and fifteen catties and three taels!" Director Liang's loud voice still reached Shufen's ears, and she kept converting the two units of measurement "kilogram" and "jin" in her mind, "Haha, I won!" My 'little flower' weighs a tael! Shufen rushed out of the women's toilet in the corner of the courtyard, with tears in her eyes!

The villagers of Shiqiao Township and the few other farmers who gambled on Shufen to win cheered, and the "little flower" who was fighting for honor finally let out a cry of "chirp ......"! Most of them sighed, ready to disperse.

"Congratulations to Yang Shufen!" Nie Renhao looked at Shufen who ran over with a smile, and took the exquisite fountain pen from his clothes pocket, "Come, willing to lose the bet!" ”

"Wait...... I haven't reported how heavy the two pigs were when they were adopted! It's more than how many pounds the pig has grown, and it's not which one is heavier now! The deputy head of Linmu Township discovered the loophole here and quickly stood up to "turn the tide". Nie Renhao turned his head and glared at him with some anger.

Shufen's excitement was suddenly cooled, and the cheers of the niche just now came to an abrupt end, and the people who had dispersed moved back again, and their tense nerves were tensed again!

Nie Renhao glanced at Director Liang, and Director Liang looked at everyone in great embarrassment, the organizer of the horse buying over there was already returning the won meal tickets to the swarm of "gamblers".

"Yes, how many pounds have you gained? Quick, breeder, read it out! An urgent voice came out of the crowd, which made the staff who had just calculated quickly panicked, hurriedly flipped through the previous records, looked at Director Liang in embarrassment, and then looked at Nie Renhao.

"Hurry up, you just looked like a man, and this Ha'er has become a mother-in-law?"

Director Liang nodded, and the breeder announced in a low voice: "Linmu Township No. 2, when I adopted it, I was forty catties and two taels, and I grew nineteen catties; No. 2 Shiqiao Township, when I adopted, I was forty pounds and four taels, and I grew eighteen pounds and nine taels of land......"

The situation changed in an instant, the jubilant "minority" just now died down, and another wave of "majority" regained their strength, clamoring to find the dealer to share the meal ticket!

Shufen, who was just about to take the pen, finally couldn't stop her tears - the innocent child cried wow. The dozens of ways to accept defeat that she had thought of last night were all defeated, and she didn't dare to raise her head to look at Secretary Nie, just now the appearance of the victor with her head tilted and her hands behind her back made her embarrassed, and she squatted on the ground and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Nie Renhao also squatted down, he didn't think about winning this little girl, he had already decided to give the pen to Shufen, not only did he not feed the pigs at noon today, but also secretly fed "Xiaohua" in the afternoon. He knew that the little guy in front of him had a strong self-esteem, and he regretted his previous "bet" very much, and he just wanted to find a decent way for the little kid to accept it happily.

"Yang Shufen, you didn't lose. Think about it, how can you compare a fourteen-year-old girl and a thirty-year-old man? The subject is not fair! ”

"Woo woo...... Shufen still cried vigorously. Nie Renhao suddenly became a little unhappy, "Yang Shufen, I really look down on you when you are like this, ha, have you forgotten what you said at the beginning, 'like a gentleman, a horse is difficult to chase'?" Of course, you're a female doll, and you can't talk about a gentleman! ”

These words angered Shufen, she suddenly raised her head and wiped her tears, and said with some sobs: "I'm not a gentleman, hum, if you lose, take it!" Shufen threw the notebook in her hand to Secretary Nie and ran away!

Nie Renhao flipped through the brand-new notebook on the cover, which was obviously not the one with the "Chairman's Quotations" that was printed at the beginning, and looked at the neat notes, then nodded with a smile at Deputy County Magistrate Zhang.

－－－－－－－－

On the podium, Sook Fen also received an unexpected prize - a brand new Parker fountain pen. She looked at Secretary Nie on the right side of the rostrum, and remembered another "bet" last night-

Nie Renhao sold 200 fruit seedlings to Shufen at a low price, and 200 same fruit seedlings were also planted in Linmu Township. At the beginning of spring, I do free technical guidance, bet on the survival rate after one year, and bet on the fruit rate after two years. Shufen's neck twisted, and she left a sentence as usual: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!" ”
