"You can sign up tomorrow," said the captain.
"Okay, then I'll go tomorrow! Captain, you have to reserve a spot for me!" Lin Xiaoxi shouted loudly.
"I'll keep it, don't worry."
Even for private teachers, teachers are required to compete for the job. If there is only one person who signs up, then that person will be assigned the position. If there are many people who sign up, then they will be assessed and the best candidates will be selected.
Now it's just a registration spot left, so no one is going to refute this.
"Captain, don't wait until tomorrow, just receive the report today! It will be so troublesome to make a special trip tomorrow." Li Chuan said loudly.
Recently, Lin Xiaoxi's attitude towards him has become cold, far less enthusiastic than before. He knows that he cannot satisfy his wife, so he tries to please her in every aspect of life.
"Okay, if anyone is willing to do this job, or has the ability, just tell us your name now! I'll ask our accountant to write it down, and if there are enough people interested, we'll organize an assessment." said the team leader.
"Lin Xiaoxi, my wife is the first to sign up!" Li Chuan hurriedly raised his hand and signed up for her.
In fact, being a private teacher is pretty good. Although the salary is not much, it is better than working in the fields, right?
Working in the fields in the wind and sun is different, but being a teacher is different. You just need to give lectures in the classroom and correct homeworks. You don’t have to work in the fields.
Ning Jia felt that this job was quite suitable for Li Tao. She saw Li Tao standing not far from her and squeezed over: "Xiao Tao, don't you want to sign up? I think you can do it!"
Li Tao shook her head, her bright eyes showing a smile: "Sister-in-law, I don't want to be a teacher! Didn't our team say that we can do breeding in the future! I want to be a breeding expert in our village!"
"That's great!" Ning Jia had known for a long time that Li Tao had this ability, and had always wanted to put her ability to use.
However, I also think that if she wants to be a teacher, it would be a good idea. In the future, if she becomes a regular private teacher, she will have two long holidays a year and a stable salary, which is also a good choice.
Since she was not interested in this, Ning Jia did not persuade her.
After everyone in the team had finished speaking, the team leader announced the end of the meeting.
On the way there, the villagers were all very excited, and they were all talking loudly about what they would plant in the future if they got their own private plots.
Li Yao and Ning Jia walked slowly along the path in the village, and quietly held hands when no one was around.
"Do you really want to raise dairy cows?" Li Yao remembered the question Ning Jia asked at the Tiantian Conference.
"Yes, that's right! It's so great to raise cows and drink their milk! When the cows produce more milk, you can sell it!" Ning Jia calculated every little account clearly.
"Okay." Li Yao raised his lips, "When I get a chance, I'll go out and ask around for you to find out where there's a dairy cow for sale, and buy you one!"
"I'm afraid it won't work with cash! We don't have enough money in our pockets, and the little money we have now is just from small businesses! If we really want to make big money, we have to expand our business!"
"On scale?"
"Yes! But the quantity must be large!"
Li Yao understood this principle. Although the village had liberalized the breeding of poultry and private plots, it did not allow free trading!
Even if raising pigs is allowed, it does not mean that we can kill the pigs and eat the meat ourselves. We can just put the excess ones in the market and sell them.
When the pigs grow old, they have to be handed over to the production team, which then hands them over to the state like grain. The remaining part can be used by the farmers themselves.
Why should we let farmers raise pigs themselves?
Because the cost of raising pigs in the brigade is too high, people have to be specially designated to raise them, and they have to cut grass for the pigs. In the end, the pigs may get sick and die after raising them for a long time, and the pigs may not be weighed enough when they are handed over.
This method is far more demand than supply.
So, if we mobilize everyone to raise pigs, and there are 300 households in a village, and each household raises one pig, that would be 300 pigs a year.
How many pigs can be raised in this brigade’s pig farm? One hundred is considered a lot!
Of course, if you are willing to raise more, that’s no problem!
But raising pigs also costs money, right?
Pigs not only eat grass, they also need to eat bran! Where do these things come from?
People can’t even get enough to eat these days, let alone feed pigs with leftovers. It’s simply impossible!
Therefore, it is not easy for a family to raise a pig well.
"It's not easy to scale up," Li Yao said. "If this problem is easy to solve, every household will definitely raise many pigs."
Ning Jia blinked her eyes: "It's really not easy, but we have to give it a try. You have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time, right?"
"That's right!"
"In a couple of days the team will go buy vegetable seeds. I will open up my own plot of land as soon as possible. I will bring you whatever you want to plant."
Ning Jia thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter what vegetables we buy. We can just buy whatever the village sells. But we have to buy some animals."
"What?"
"Rabbits!" Ning Jia said, "They have strong reproductive ability and grow fast. They require little investment, have a short cycle, and pay back quickly. Rabbit meat can be eaten, and rabbit skin can be sold. Let's breed a large number of rabbits first!"
Of course this has to be done in secret.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
"A family can raise five chickens. If we raise five chickens together with my fifth brother's family, that's ten! With more chickens, we'll soon be able to achieve egg freedom!"
"good!"
The night deepened unknowingly. Li Yao led Ning Jia and walked slowly along the road in the village, watching their shadows being stretched and shortened.
Ning Jia gently leaned towards Li Yao and slowly leaned on his shoulder...
The day after the meeting, every household began to choose a suitable location to cultivate their own private plot.
The two brothers Li Xu and Li Yao decided to clear a piece of land behind the house.
Although there is a pile of rotten wood and hard stones behind the house, it may take some effort to clean it up, but it will be much more convenient once it is cleaned up.
This place is close to home, so it is convenient for watering the fields and picking vegetables.
The two families have already agreed that instead of growing crops on this piece of land, they will grow vegetables. After the land is cultivated, they will reserve a piece of land for growing spinach.
Spring is the time when there is a shortage of food, and it is difficult to get some fresh vegetables.
Spinach grows fast and can reach a lot of height with just one day of watering. It is definitely a perfect vegetable to eat in spring.
After work, the two brothers rolled up their sleeves and reclaimed the wasteland behind the house.
It took two days to open up a piece of wasteland. Each family had seven mu of land, which added up to a total of more than one acre of land. If all of it was planted with vegetables, there would be more than enough for consumption.
"The land has been cultivated and the seeds have been bought. My fifth brother and I will go to the county town tomorrow to see if there are any rabbits for sale. Then we can buy a few rabbits and raise them!"
"Okay, bring more money tomorrow and buy whatever you need. It's not easy to make the trip." Ning Jia said.
"Yes. Let's buy the rabbits first, and then we can buy the piglets when we get to town."
"Are you exhausted these past two days? Take a rest. An Ye is stewing meat in the kitchen. I'll call you when it's done."
"You haven't finished eating the meat yet?"
"It will be soon. It will only take a few days."
"Okay, go ahead."
Ning Jia pushed open the door and came out, and saw Li Tao talking to a pretty girl standing in the middle of the yard.
When the girl saw Ning Jia coming out, she greeted her with a smile: "Are you Ning Jia's sister-in-law?"
