Chapter 36: Raising Chickens (2)
Pingping told Wu Sifu that her boss Wu Ming gave her a salary, why didn't Wu Sifu feel good?
Wu Sifu felt that Wu Ming was secretly helping him, and he was afraid of hurting his self-esteem, so he didn't make a trace.
Wu Sifu silently remembered this kindness in his heart, this warm and ungrateful help.
The next day, Wu Sifu cleaned up the rental house again, sent a text message to Pingping, and went to the bus station to take the car home.
When he returned home, Wu Sifu calculated the money for bamboo products that Wu Ming gave him, and found that the price given by Wu Ming was higher than the market price, and he knew that this was also Wu Ming secretly helping himself.
Zhou Jueming made up 3 beds for drying mats, and Wu Sifu added 50 yuan to the money that Wu Ming calculated for him, and collected 500 yuan to send to Zhou Jueming's house.
Zhou Jueming took the money and looked at Wu Sifu suspiciously, how much is a bed for this mat? Why do you give me so much? As he spoke, he took out another 100 yuan and returned it to Wu Sifu.
Wu Sifu hurriedly dissuaded him and told him to take care of the money; said that Lan Lan was going to take the high school entrance examination, and he would improve the food for the children.
Then he told him, let's take advantage of the fine weather now, we have to quickly fence off the bamboo forest; Take the time to cut some thatch on the opposite hill and build a chicken pen as soon as possible.
Zhou Jueming said, I have neither the technology nor the capital, so I will follow you to raise dozens of them in small quantities first. I cleaned the firewood room behind my pigsty, which was probably enough.
Wu Sifu thought about it and felt that what Zhou Jueming said was the truth. asked Zhou Jueming to help him get it. Zhou Jueming readily agreed. I thought to myself, why can't you help me so much, help you with this little favor?
Two big men got up early in the morning and went up the mountain to cut thatch and cut bamboo, and soon surrounded the bamboo forest. Wu Sifu leveled the empty dam next to the dam, bought back a few bags of cement, smoothed the dam paste, and began to build a chicken pen with Zhou Jueming.
On this day, the weather was unusually warm, and Wu Sifu and Zhou Jueming went to Shuangjiang Town to buy chicks. Bamboo Village seems to have just arrived in spring, and the grass has just come out of the ground, and the sporadic plum blossoms and peach blossoms are gradually blooming.
The rape flowers in Pingba at the foot of the mountain have long been blooming, and the green rapeseed pods are hanging densely on the rape stalks, full and full; The rest of the flowers were nearing the end, and the green fruits of the little finger hung high in the treetops.
Seeing the old farmers turning over the pear paddy fields, Wu Sifu sighed and said: "The people on our mountain are always one beat later than the people at the foot of the mountain. Croppers, if they want to live well, there is no other way except to work diligently. ”
Zhou Jueming nodded in agreement.
The two came to the farmers' market and saw that the brooding company was selling chickens and ducklings in large baskets and small baskets. The tender yellow chicks and ducklings were squeezed and chirped in the cages.
Wu Sifu stood by the cage and looked carefully, the chicks were too tender, as if they had just been peeled out of the eggshell, and their immature wings seemed to be shivering.
Wu Sifu didn't ask, and walked away.
He went to the place where the peasant woman sold the chicks, and gently played with the chicks with his hands, looking and looking, and asking for the price as he looked. After some haggling, he decided to buy the rural woman's chicks.
Zhou Jueming saw Wu Sifu squatting by the cage to select chicks, and quietly ran back to ask the brood company chick price.
Comparing the two, it was found that the peasant woman's chicks were about one yuan more expensive than the chicks of the brooding company. If you buy dozens or hundreds, you will have to spend dozens or hundreds of dollars.
Zhou Jueming squatted beside Wu Sifu and whispered to Wu Sifu about the price of chicks in the brooding company, reminding him not to buy expensive.
Wu Sifu ignored him and picked the chicks by himself.
After choosing the chicks and paying for them, Wu Sifu told Zhou Jueming that the chicks of the brooding company were too tender, and I was afraid that they would not be able to raise them if they bought them back.
After the chicks hatched by the farmer family are free from the eggshell, they are led by the hen and are in contact with nature for some time. Let's buy it back, the chicks are more adaptable and better to raise.
Zhou Jueming looked at Wu Sifu suspiciously, thinking, how did you know?
Wu Sifu knew that Zhou Jueming was puzzled, and explained, I learned it from books, and it will not be wrong. Now everything must be done with science and technology, and large-scale breeding is not possible without science.
After listening to Wu Sifu's explanation, Zhou Jueming admired Wu Sifu more and more.
The two walked back to Bamboo Village with a chicken cage. Wu Sifu told Zhou Jueming while walking that in order to buy food in the future, he planned to buy an electric motorcycle and come back.
Zhou Jueming said: "It seems that you are really ready to do a big job." ”
Wu Sifu sighed: "If you don't do it, you can't do it, I have to repay 50,000 yuan in debt this year, and I set a goal during the New Year." ”
Zhou Jueming was infected by Wu Sifu's goal and drive, and said sincerely: "Sifu, I will follow you." Do you need any help, just say. I don't have anything else, the labor is enough. ”
Wu Sifu glanced at Zhou Jueming gratefully, and thought, this man is loyal and honest, and I must not treat him badly in the future.
The two returned home, ate lunch haphazardly, and began to play with the chicks.
Tang Xiaohong heard that Wu Sifu bought back the chicks and started raising running pheasants, so she went to Wu Sifu's house to see what was going on.
Wu Sifu is busy working in the chicken pen. He was busy emptying the chicken manure from the chicken coop and disinfecting the chicken pen. Seeing Tang Xiaohong coming, after greeting him, he was busy with the work at hand.
Tang Xiaohong: "You bring so many small things back to raise, do you still have time to be the village chief?" ”
"Who made me the village chief? I haven't heard from you for so long, haven't you already turned the page? Wu Sifu said lightly.
"Who said it was over? There must be a village chief in Zhucun, how can I be busy alone? The town will be down soon, so you can arrange your family affairs and take office as soon as possible. Tang Xiaohong said.
What's the situation?
More than half a month has passed since the election of the village chief, and the spring ploughing production has made everyone forget about it, and everyone thinks that this matter is over. Why did Tang Xiaohong mention this matter again today?
Did anything come up in between?
Wu Sifu dropped the work in his hand, came to the dam, washed his hands, and handed Tang Xiaohong a cigarette: "What's the situation?" What about Feng Gao? ”
"Feng Gao can't be the village chief anymore. He has resigned, and even the captain is gone. Tang Xiaohong spat out a puff of smoke rings fiercely.
Wu Sifu looked at Tang Xiaohong blankly, waiting for his further explanation.
"Don't look at me blankly." Tang Xiaohong decided to confess, "He embezzled the money of several farmers to buy medical insurance.
He felt that the peasants were in good health, and they had not been sick or sick for many years; Moreover, the medical insurance is only for one year, and as long as the farmers do not get sick after December, the money will be his own.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Yang's mother on their team had a serious illness during the Chinese New Year last year, and when she went to report the account last month, she found that she couldn't report the account.
Through investigation, it has been ascertained that he himself embezzled the peasants' medical insurance fees, and he himself has confessed to the matter.
Secretary Wang and Mayor Li of the town attach great importance to it. Because the amount was not large, it was decided to give him a disciplinary punishment after reporting to the county discipline inspection commission for approval.
He himself felt faceless and resigned automatically. Is this village chief the only one who belongs to you? ”
So that's what happened. Wu Sifu slandered, Feng Gao, I really didn't see it, he was even greedy for this little money from farmers.
It seems that this village chief really has to be a man.
However, I have just bought more than 200 chicks, and I plan to buy a few piglets to raise them. As the head of the village, how can you have time to serve these things?
Wu Sifu was silent and didn't answer Tang Xiaohong's words for a while.
"Since the villagers believe in you and elect you as the village head, you have to be good. We're young now, so roll up our sleeves and do a great job. I don't believe that our Zhucun will be poor for the rest of our lives. Tang Xiaohong was instigating beside him.
Wu Sifu thought about Tang Xiaohong's words, and felt that he had just passed the age of 50, so he couldn't just live like this for the rest of his life, so he had to do something.
After smoking a cigarette, Wu Sifu responded calmly: "Okay."
Tang Xiaohong stretched out his hand and held Wu Sifu's hand tightly.
Tang Xiaohong: Our next big thing is to find a way to harden the machine cultivation road of your three teams first; If there is a condition, then harden the road on the side of Team 5.
Wu Sifu: You go back to the unit to get the hardening plan out and see how much it costs; Then run to other departments in the county to see if there is any other way.
As for the widening of roads to occupy forest land, some villagers said that the remaining collective forest land in the village could be replaced.
Tang Xiaohong: So you've thought it all out? I've always struggled with the villagers' reluctance to occupy their forest land, and I've always found it the most problematic. I didn't expect you to have a solution.
Wu Sifu: It was brought up by the villagers.
The two discussed for a while, and Tang Xiaohong raised his feet to go back to the village office.
After Tang Xiaohong left, Wu Sifu was contemplative. The family's side business has just started, and she has to plant the fields, and Pingping is out to earn money to take care of Xiaotian, and she will become the village chief again, how can she be busy?
However, it has come to this point, as if everything cannot be shirked, and it has to be dealt with one by one. In order to save time to travel to and from the village office, it is imperative to buy an electric car.
Usually get up early, get chickens, pigs, etc., and then go to the fields or villages to deal with things, in the afternoon you can also work and in the evening you can also tend to the livestock.
In any case, these things must be handled properly, and none of them can be delayed.
After making a plan, Wu Sifu called Quan Wa to go to the town to buy an electric motorcycle.
Quan Wa feels strange, I haven't seen you buy an electric motorcycle for so many years, why do you think of buying it now?
Wu Sifu explained lightly: "In order to facilitate the purchase of pig and chicken feed. It is inconvenient to walk by yourself, and electric motorcycles can be used as a means of transportation. ”
"If you're going to ride home, the steep slope in front of you won't work. You can only walk the path next to the house, reach the gate of Uncle Wu's yard, and then go to the machine farming road.
It's the same road I usually ride to your house on a tricycle. However, that road is dangerous, so you need to be careful. ”
After being reminded by Quan Wa, Wu Sifu remembered that the rough road next to the house was bumpy. Thinking about it, I took a little time out every day to renovate this path of several hundred meters.
