After Long Zhaotian left Fengshan Chicken Farm, less than half a year after the chicken farm had a series of "dead chicken plague" epidemics. Long Zhaotian rushed back to the chicken farm when he heard the news, and was helpless in the face of the new topic of "dead chicken plague", and witnessed the collapse of the chicken farm that had been painstakingly operated.

In the past few years, the little money that the village collective has accumulated with great difficulty has lost its main income due to the closure of the chicken farm, and it has returned to poverty in less than three years.

……

Time flies, year after year, full of Fengshan people's hope for prosperity, with the Longjiang River flowing north day and night in front of the village.

"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying".

China's reform and opening up began in the countryside. Ding Yiguang, a native of Fengshan Village, was a young boy at the beginning of the reform and opening up, and has grown into a tall young man in the second wave of reform and opening up.

"In 1992, another spring, there was an old man who wrote a poem on the shore of the South China Sea, and the spring tide was rolling between heaven and earth......" This is a magnificent lyric in "The Story of Spring".

The "Southern Tour Speech" "swept the spring tide between heaven and earth", which made Ding Yiguang, a fearsome young man in Fengshan Village, excited and imagined. He thought: In this land, it is the peasants who work hardest, and the poorest are also the peasants..... He vowed to devote all his efforts to the prosperity of the villagers on this land, under the guidance of the spirit of the "Southern Tour Speech".

In the early spring of 1992, there was a chill outside the window, and Ding Yiguang, who had not slept all night, stood in front of the window with a surging heart.

Yesterday, he decided to set up another chicken farm with all he had, and he is going to put it into practice today. He knew it better than anyone else.

Ding Yiguang used the only 9,000 yuan he had left to build a small chicken farm on his homestead, and began his dream of getting rich by raising chickens in a family-style manner.

At the beginning of raising chickens, Ding Yiguang moved his "home" to the chicken farm, often sleeping with the chickens, and carefully observing the growth and development of the chickens.

Raising chickens well requires not only hard and meticulous labor, but also high scientific skills. At the beginning, Ding Yiguang was more cautious, and learned to raise chickens with Long Zhaotian when he was in the village chicken farm in the past, and mastered certain breeding techniques; With the experience of raising chickens in the past, the first and second batches of nearly 1,000 broilers were successfully raised.

Just when Ding Yiguang ambitiously expanded the scale of chicken raising, nearly 3,000 broilers encountered the kind of epidemic that occurred in the village chicken farm in the past, nearly 2,000 died in two days, although, he tried his best to save, still could not prevent the spread of the disease, and watched all the chickens in the chicken farm die, and the chickens flew and the eggs were beaten, and the loss was nearly 80,000 yuan.

In the face of failure, should you be discouraged, or should you seriously sum up the lessons and find the way to success from failure?

After careful consideration, Ding Yiguang chose the latter.

He thought: In order to succeed in raising chickens, we must work hard to master disease prevention techniques.

Ding Yiguang ignored the long distance and carried a sack of local specialties from his family, and went to the county to find his master and uncle Long Zhaotian.

Long Zhaotian was transferred to the county seat in 1987 to "eat the emperor", and a few years later, his family moved to the county seat to settle down.

Long Zhaotian had just stepped into the door of his house after work, only to see Long Xiaolan greet him from the hall: "Zhaotian, my hometown Ah Guang has come to visit us." ”

"Oh, is it? What about Ah Hui? Long Zhaotian was very happy when he heard that a fellow countryman came from his hometown, and his eyes scanned the hall with a pair of bright eyes, but there was no trace of Ah Hui, so he couldn't wait to ask.

"Uncle Tian, I'm here!" Ding Yiguang heard Long Zhaotian asking him, and walked out of the bathroom in a hurry.

"Uncle Tian, I'm back from work!" As soon as Ding Yiguang saw Long Zhaotian, after saying hello, he hurriedly explained: "I may have drunk the water flowing out of the faucet in the station hall as soon as I got off the train, and as soon as I entered the door, I was 'three urgent', and my stomach was 'growling', which was the ......."

"This is not adaptable, and it is the same when I go out of the county for the first time." Long Zhaotian said as he handed over a box of Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills and a cup of hot boiled water for him to take.

After Ding Yiguang took Huoxiang Zhengqi Pill, he recovered his spirit after a while.

Only then did Long Zhaotian carefully look at the young man standing in front of him: "I haven't seen you for many years, Ah Guang is a big boy, Uncle Tian can't recognize you anymore." ”

Ding Yiguang respectfully: "Really? Uncle Tian. People in the village say, 'Eighteen changes', and I'm twenty years old this year. ”

Long Zhaotian sighed with emotion: "Yes! The thin ones will be big, and the big ones will be old! In a blink of an eye, Uncle Tian has entered the age of no confusion......"

"If you come from your hometown, you should know about your hometown. In front of the window in the coming day, the cold plum blossoms are not blooming?". Tang Dynasty. Wang Wei's famous poems should be a portrayal of Long Zhaotian's mood at this time.

After Long Zhaotian sighed, he asked about the situation in the village.

Ding Yiguang told Long Zhaotian everything he knew.

Before it ended, Long Zhaotian still kept asking, "What else?"

"And ......" Just as Ding Yiguang wanted to say the purpose of his visit, at this moment, Long Fei and Long Xiaomin came back from school.

"Hello Uncle Guang!" After saying hello, Long Fei and Long Xiaomin went into the room to do their homework.

"What else?" After Long Zhaotian saw the two children enter the room to do their homework, he then asked.

So, Ding Yiguang said the purpose of coming here.

After listening carefully, Long Zhaotian first asked Long Xiaolan to go downstairs to the roast meat shop to buy a pound of roasted meat and come back to add vegetables tonight, leaving Ding Yiguang at home for dinner and accommodation.

Taking advantage of Long Xiaolan's dinner, Long Zhaotian called Ding Yiguang into the study, and while learning more about the occurrence of the epidemic, he carefully made records.

Long Xiaolan made a table of good dishes and put them on the dining table, and said to Long Zhaotian in the study: "Zhaotian, let's come out to eat first." ”

About 10 minutes later, Long Xiaolan didn't see Long Zhaotian and Ding Yiguang coming out, but the two children gathered around a table of fragrant meals, secretly picked up a piece of roast duck and wanted to eat it first.

Seeing this, Long Xiaolan trained the tutor with a pleasant face: "If the adults don't sit on the stage and don't get up the chopsticks, the children can't eat first." Do you remember? ”

"Hmm...... Remembered. Long Fei and Long Xiaolan said in unison.

"Good! This is the child of the Long family. After Long Xiaolan finished praising it, she flew towards Long Fei, "Fei'er, you go and ask your father and Uncle Guang to come out and eat first." ”

"Hmm." Long Fei responded obediently and walked towards the study.

Long Fei just wanted to push open the door and go in to convey Long Xiaolan's words, but through the crack in the door, he saw his father pointing at the book, talking seriously like a teacher tutoring a student, while Ding Yiguang was listening carefully like a studious student.

Long Fei couldn't help but stop, and the sound of Long Zhaotian explaining the prevention of chicken plague echoed in the study, coming from the crack in the door.

Long Fei stood at the door next to the book and listened carefully to his father's explanation of chicken plague prevention.

Regarding his son's strange behavior, Long Zhaotian saw it in his eyes, pretended not to know at first glance, and after explaining the chapter "The Cause of Chicken Plague", he stopped, got up and opened the door, "Come in." ”。

Long Fei was shocked, like a child who had done something wrong, looking at his father with his eyes, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Long Zhaotian stared at him with both eyes: "Do you understand the chicken plague prevention I explained?"
