Qin Li glanced at the tips of her red ears, the corners of her lips slightly curved, and then he looked at Fang Desheng seriously.

"Gong Dasong only asked Yang Xueyan to coax some food. Ge Erdan has sold chickens a few times. He has raised pigs, sheep and chickens well.

But every year half of them die, and I can’t even get back the original cost, which is a waste of the common property of all the members of the brigade.”

"I heard that after the New Year, let Ge Erdan go to work in the fields." Fang Desheng didn't expect that while he was busy in the tea plantation, the rear was on fire. "Do you know anyone who can raise pigs? Recommend two. After the spring, I plan to raise ten more pigs."

There was silence in the room again.

It is really difficult to raise pigs in the brigade.

There is not enough food for people to eat, and there is no food to feed them.

Just eating pig grass won’t make them fat.

The breeding would fall on the bachelor Ge Erdan, and no one was willing to do it.

Not only is the responsibility heavy, but you also have to watch over them every day.

If the animals are not raised up to standard, work points will be deducted.

Only a fool would do such a thankless job.

"Let me recommend two," Chen Tan suddenly said, "My ninth brother Shen Jinquan and my ninth sister-in-law Liu Xu can raise pigs, and their child Suonier can also help. We just need to arrange two houses for them on the farm."

She had never heard about Sister Liu Xu's division of the family property, and thought that Shen Jinquan was unwilling to do so.

Take this opportunity to help them move out, so that Sister Liu Xu and Suonier won’t suffer from the Shen family’s grievances.

When he heard about the Shen family, the expectation on Fang Desheng's face disappeared.

"Liu Xu is okay, but Shen Jinquan is not. He listens too much to his mother and doesn't act like a man."

With the Shen family around, I'm afraid he will steal even more than Ge Erdan.

Chen Tan smiled faintly, "All the problems are caused by indulgence. You are always willing to show off your authority, so who wouldn't be honest?"

Gong Dasong is a disabled person, and Fang Desheng asked him to guard the granary purely to take care of him.

There is nothing wrong with him eating a few more bites in private.

Ge Erdan went too far by using everyone's things to make private money.

But no one wants to raise pigs. Everyone knows what he does, but no one exposes it.

Chen Tan's pointed words made everyone at the table laugh. Xie Junqian looked at Fang Desheng.

"Secretary Fang, Tan Nier is right. If you can show the momentum of fighting the Japanese, who wouldn't be afraid?"

Fang Desheng also laughed a few times. "Girl, I agree with your recommendation, but I also have a condition. This year, I plan to raise thirty pigs, fifty sheep, and one hundred chickens. You have to guarantee that the total loss of pigs and sheep will not exceed ten, and the total loss of chickens will not exceed thirty."

Before he could finish, Wu Xia spoke up hurriedly, "Old Party Secretary, in previous years, we only raised ten pigs, and Ge Erdan would kill half of them. Aren't you making things difficult for Tan Nier?"

"If she doesn't agree, then I can't agree to let Shen Jinquan come," Fang Desheng said, looking at Chen Tan, "I heard that you are good at raising pigs. Why don't you join them in raising pigs after the New Year?"

He is tall and strong, with dark features and bright eyes.

Perhaps it was because he had been to the battlefield, he had a solemn and murderous aura.

Timid people dared not look up and look him in the eye when talking to him.

He had asked the original owner many times about the Shen family beating her, but the original owner was so scared that she ran away.

He could only reprimand Shen Changwang and the others but could not punish them.

Chen Tan was not afraid of him. He placed his chopsticks on the bowl and looked at him calmly, "Fang..."

"No, Xiao Tan will be studying medicine with Doctor Xie after the New Year and won't have time to raise pigs."

Qin Li refused without waiting for Chen Tan to reply.

It's not like he can't support her, so why should he let her do such smelly and tiring work?

Fang Desheng looked at him with a bit of disdain and deliberateness, "Old Man Xie doesn't have many patients. She feeds pigs in her free time. Now that someone is sick, what's the point of her going to Old Man Xie to study medicine?"

"What do you mean I don't have many patients? It's those people who don't know what's good for them!"

Xie Junqian retorted angrily, how many days has Western medicine only been around?

The prosperity of Yan State for thousands of years is all thanks to herbal medicine.

Qin Qiuniang also disagreed and said, "Secretary Fang, Tan Nier is just a little girl, and you want her to raise pigs? You are so imaginative."

"What's wrong with raising pigs? We're all serving the people, so where's the distinction between high and low?"

Fang Desheng took a sip of wine and continued, "She has no freedom to work in the fields. She has to take good care of the pigs. She can decide her own working hours."

"Anyway, I don't..." Agree.

Qin Li had just said half of his stubborn words when Chen Tan waved his hand, signaling him not to refuse in a hurry.

She looked at Fang Desheng and said, "I agree to Secretary Fang's request for compensation, and I also agree to help my cousin and his wife raise pigs.

But I also have two small requests. First, the pig feed that members deliver every day can no longer be delivered in the name of individuals. Instead, it must be delivered by the captains of each team, and they will take turns delivering it. Only one team can deliver it per day.

Second, after one year, if we exceed your requirements, please give us a reward and allocate a piece of land outside the farm for my brother and sister-in-law to build a yard. They can pay for the materials themselves."

In this way, Sister Liu Xu can get rid of those troublesome people in the Shen family forever. Moreover, living next to the brigade, she will be protected by the brigade cadres, and Shen Jinquan's parents will not dare to make trouble.

Seeing that she was serious, Wu Xia quickly reminded her, "Tan Nier, these pigs in the brigade are not just the one or two you have at home. This is not a joke. Don't make a promise blindly!"

Qin Qiuniang also advised, "Tan Nier, I understand your desire to help Liu Xu, but I'm afraid they won't dare to raise her."

If breeding is a good thing, then it would be Ge Erdan's turn to do evil things.

Xie Junqian snorted coldly, "You still want to exceed the target? If there's a swine fever or chicken plague, you'll cry."

He hadn't meant to scare her.

A small portion of the pigs, sheep and chickens that Ge Erdan had not raised were eaten by him, and most of them died of illness.

Otherwise, could the village cadres really allow him to harm collective property?

He stared at Chen Tan, and seeing the firm and persistent look between her brows, he knew that she would not give up.

"Girl, raising a single pig is different from raising a herd of pigs. You've never raised one before, so why are you so confident? What's your basis?"

Chen Tan smiled lightly, "Since I have been raising pigs since I was a child, I have figured out the temperament of pigs."

The original owner followed Chen Hehua to the mountains to collect grass for pigs since he was a child and handed it over to the brigade in exchange for work points. He also raised a task pig at home.

Later, Chen Hehua got married, and the task of raising pigs fell on her alone.

Shen Changwang and Hu Cuifen beat her, but did not kill her outright. Perhaps it was because she was able to raise the assigned pigs well every year and earn money and work points for the family.

Looking at her bright and shining eyes, Qin Li did not continue to object like others.

He knew that she wanted to repay Liu Xu and wanted to help her leave the Shen family completely.

Her benefactor is also his benefactor, so he should help her repay the favor.

If she really couldn't raise one, he could just pay for her to buy a few pigs.

He looked at Fang Desheng and said, "Old Party Secretary, please agree to her two requests. I will agree to your request."
