Gu Yunyang explained, "At the beginning, we only had this one room."
This batch, about ten piglets, is the first batch we bought.
When Mayor Chu led his men in, they saw several women cleaning the house.
Mayor Chu was still a little curious: "Don't they need to work in the fields?"
Gu Hanping answered on his behalf: "The pigsty in our brigade is managed by several women on a regular basis."
One task was preparing feed, and the other was collecting pig feed gathered by the children of the brigade.
They also need to clean the pig manure regularly to keep the pigsty clean and tidy.
Our Party Secretary Gu said that as long as the pigsty is kept clean and tidy, most cases of disease can be ruled out..."
As Mayor Chu listened, he couldn't help but nod: "Yes, I often hear that in the hospital, illness enters through the mouth. If the living environment is clean, those germs have no basis to exist. Naturally, there will be fewer illnesses."
He never expected that the Red Flag Brigade would actually assign several women to work here.
Although it may seem trivial, when you get busy, you don't really have time to rest all day.
Of course, none of the tasks were too complicated or heavy.
"Does your brigade require many people to gather pig feed every day?"
Mayor Chu had also visited the rural areas on the outskirts of the city. In their village, the job of cutting pig feed was a welfare benefit for the children.
Hao Pingping is getting on in years, but she's thriving in the pigsty.
She's quite good at raising pigs.
Just then, the children came over carrying baskets on their backs, each with a large basket: "Grandma Hong, we're here again."
The word "again" indicates that this is not their first time here.
"Come over here, that place is already full. We'll send it over there to dry in a bit..."
Chief Chu turned to look at Gu Hanping, who then smiled and said, "We don't have a limit here. They get one work point for every basket of pig feed they bring each day. At the end of the year, they can also get a lot of grain. With the per capita ration, they can barely feed themselves."
This is much better than before, when I only earned two or three work points a day.
In addition to the per capita rations, they could also receive a considerable amount of extra work points.
Before the age of eight, children were given a per capita ration, and there were no work points required.
Between the ages of eight and sixteen, work points were not high.
However, the brigade didn't have much demand for pig feed in the past, so the work allocation for each child was not much.
Each child is given two work points per day and is required to carry four baskets.
Well, it depends on the size of the basket.
Gu Hanping said, "We started at the end of May, and then we made an agreement with the commune."
By the end of November and December, a batch of pigs would be slaughtered each month to provide meat for the commune.
So, several new buildings were constructed nearby, and some piglets were purchased. In the future, this place will be developed into a large-scale pig farm with at least ten pigs slaughtered each month, and a total of at least 150 pigs.
Gu Hanping was also very excited when talking about the promises Gu Yunyang made to him.
Only then did Chief Chu realize that the pigsty of the Red Flag Brigade was actually planned on such a large scale.
Although there are 150 pigs, it's not actually that many.
But that's already a lot for a large team.
"I see you're already starting to dry the pig feed you've collected?"
"Yes, some of the hay will be used as feed. In addition to the fresh hay we give our pigs every day, half of the pigs in our pigpen need to eat pig feed."
These pig feeds were also provided by our Secretary Gu. The results are quite good; you can see that from the growth of our piglets. By the end of November, they should have grown to over 130 jin (approximately 65 kg), or even 150 jin (approximately 75 kg).
