Chapter 42 Submission
As for pig grass, there is plenty of it on the mountain, and pigs can eat it, so it is definitely the best to feed them.
As for nutrition and scientific pig farming?
Rural people have no one to guide them, so they don’t think too much. They just think that it’s good enough as long as the pigs are well fed and watered.
However, the Lin family is different.
Even the water provided for the piglets was warm.
The pigpen is dry and well-lit.
It looks different from any other shed that is just built casually.
Lin Tang symbolically picked some pig grass and went home.
She planned to make some nutritious feed according to the knowledge in the book.
The feed is made by mixing wheat straw, rice husks, corn roots, wheat bran and other things in a certain proportion.
It is said to be very suitable for piglets of a few months old.
Lin Tang was worried that his family would feel bad about the things used in the feed, so he made it for three days first.
After it was done, she took out a part of it.
Add some water and stir into a paste.
Then pour the feed into the stone trough in the pigpen.
The three piglets went crazy.
He grunted and ate in the trough, eating happily.
"Aunt, Piggy likes this." Goudan's face flushed with excitement.
Tiger Head imitated his father's expression with a serious face and said, "Eat quickly and grow meat quickly. When you kill the pigs, we will have meat to eat at home."
Niuniu imitated her, "Eat meat, Niuniu wants to eat meat."
Looking at the piglets in the pigpen, his eyes were extremely hot.
Stinky Egg was a mild-mannered boy, and he was happy to see his brothers and sisters so happy.
Clapping his hands, he said, "Eat meat!"
Lin Tang felt soft in his heart when he saw his nephews and nieces being so lively and cute.
There will be meat, eggs, sugar, and new clothes...
After feeding the piglets, Lin Tang asked Goudan to take good care of his younger siblings and then went to the production team office.
The brigade leader is going to the commune this afternoon.
She asked her uncle to help her mail the letter she wanted to submit.
When I arrived at the production team office, Lin Fu was about to go out.
"Tangtang, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
Lin Tang smiled and handed him the not-so-thin letter in his hand.
"Uncle, I have a letter to mail. Could you please help me post it? I've written the address here."
Lin Fu took it, a smile on his face.
Those wrinkles made him look very gentle.
"good."
He responded first, then looked at his niece with curiosity.
"What is this? Where should I send it?" He asked casually.
Lin Tang did not hide it and replied that it was his own submission.
There's nothing to hide about this.
Besides, my uncle is not a talkative person.
When Lin Fu heard that Tangtang was going to submit an article, his eyes lit up and he looked very happy.
"You want to submit an article to the newspaper?"
"Well, I'll just try it. I'm not sure if it will work or not." Lin Tang said modestly.
She felt that there was nothing wrong with her manuscript, and she even drew a simple diagram. With both text and pictures, it should be passed.
However, who can guarantee that nothing will go wrong before the end?
Lin Fu patted Lin Tang's shoulder, looking like he trusted her very much.
"Why not? You can do it."
I have an indescribable confidence in my niece.
In his eyes, Tangtang is smart and studious, and can succeed in anything.
Lin Tang knew that his family members looked at him through a filter that was eight layers thick, so he didn't argue and said with a smile, "Thank you for troubling me, uncle."
"There's no need to be polite. If you can be in the newspaper, it will be a happy event for our entire team. I'm so happy that I can't express it in words." Lin Fu said.
Then, he carefully put the paper in his hand into the bag, very solemnly.
After Lin Tang finished speaking, he went to the fields to earn work points.
Lin Fu followed the grassroots cadres of the team and rode on a ox cart to the commune.
On the way, he touched the manuscript in his arms no less than five times.
He Jun, the scorekeeper of the production team, saw this and teased him, "Captain, what precious thing do you have on your chest? I've seen you touch it several times."
Lin Fu didn't notice that he had touched it so many times, and touched the tip of his nose awkwardly.
"It's nothing, my chest just itches, so I scratch it, scratch it!" he said with a smile.
No one in the car believed it.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk more, everyone didn't force him.
He changed the subject.
"Captain, do you think it would be helpful if we went to the commune leaders?
Can the commune really arrange a pig farming expert for us?"
When talking about the purpose of this trip, He Jun's heart was hanging.
Not optimistic at all.
If the commune could arrange a pig-raising expert, Jianming Brigade would have become rich by raising pigs long ago. How could everyone be in debt?
When He Jun asked this question, the eyes of the other brigade cadres fell on Lin Fu at the same time.
Lin Fu sighed deeply, unable to confirm.
"We have to give it a try to see if it works. Since we've accepted this mission, we can't just do it carelessly!
The members' hopes are on us, and we can't let them be in debt."
As the team leader, he is under tremendous pressure.
Life is difficult for every household in the production team!
Few people starved to death in the past two years because we had two mountains to support us.
Now that life has just gotten better, I've taken on this task.
Raising pigs only requires feeding them and cleaning the pigpen.
But in fact, raising pigs is not that simple!
Didn’t the brigade next door also try to raise it?
However, the losses were terrifyingly huge, with every household saddled with at least dozens of dollars in debt.
Don’t underestimate these few dozen dollars.
You have to know that nowadays in the countryside you can hardly save 50 yuan a year, and you still have to eat and drink.
A few dozen dollars is an astronomical figure.
Therefore, the faces of the people from several surrounding brigades changed when they heard about raising pigs.
This year, the production team took on the hot potato of pig farming. Shuangshan Brigade could not refuse and could only find a way to raise the pigs well.
Even if you can't make a lot of money, at least you shouldn't be in debt.
Seeing that everyone was in a bad mood, Lin Fu patted the car frame.
"Why are you so depressed? Things haven't gotten that bad yet.
Someone has to continue this path of raising pigs, so let's do our best.
If that doesn't work, we'll find another way.
If it is cultivated, what do you think will happen?"
How about it?
Of course it is beautiful!
He Jun chuckled, "If it works, our brigade won't be prosperous, but at least everyone will have enough to eat..."
Deputy Captain Li Jiancai raised his chin, his face full of confidence.
“I think having enough food to eat is the most basic thing. Maybe those who are well-fed can also afford to buy a bicycle!
Just like those wealthy brigades we see in the newspapers."
Sitting next to Li Jiancai was the brigade accountant Qian Hua.
Qian Hua bumped into Li Jiancai's shoulder and said, "You're so bold! I just want to eat enough and not be hungry.
If I could eat meat once in a while, that would be a big deal!"
Thinking about the good days of raising pigs, the worry on the face of the brigade cadre on the ox cart gradually disappeared.
Instead, there is a fighting spirit.
More than an hour later, Lin Fu brought the brigade cadres of Shuangshan Brigade to the commune.
The commune where Shuangshan Brigade is located is called "Red Star Commune".
The commune occupies a large area and is made of brick and tile buildings, which are rare these days. It looks very grand.
The walls were covered with straw and mud.
The roof is made of red bricks and wood, the floor is clean and the inside is bright.
Compared with other houses, it is so luxurious that it makes people look sideways.
