Zeng Wangcai not only has to kill pigs and chickens, but also catch fish.
During the training period, his spirit was fulfilled, but his body was damaged by greed. It was high-intensity and concentrated training, and everyone ate the same thing. They were only fed but not well-fed. You can't be the only one treated specially.
After coming back, Old Man Yang was just having fun. A group of people were busy harvesting sweet potatoes and no one had the mind to get food.
Do we need to rush to harvest sweet potatoes?
So as soon as Old Man Yang left, Zeng Wangcai immediately set about improving his life.
Liu Youren's idea was to transfer all the supplies in the base to the logistics department, but he also knew that this would require Zeng Wangcai's approval.
"Wangcai, Wangcai, let's chat!" Liu Youren saw a pig being pulled out and knew he couldn't stop it. "You know the current situation. Food is scarce, meat is also scarce. Many leaders don't have meat on their tables. They are reluctant to eat it and want to give the meat to the people.
"Look, you let us take these fifty-odd pigs away..."
"Stop!" Zeng Wangcai's face changed. "Let's not talk about this topic. If the leader has an order, I will execute it. If not, I'm sorry, we will follow the original agreement."
He is angry!
It is true that there are many leading cadres who are highly conscious, do the right thing and stand upright, and always have the people in mind, but that is their duty, isn’t it?
So you can eat pork but ordinary people can’t?
Is the common people responsible for today's situation?
More than 50 pigs that have been raised for more than half a year, the smallest weighs more than 300 kilograms, and in one sentence they want to use pork as supplies...
Grandma!
"Half, half will do, right?" Liu Youren chased after Zeng Wangcai and made the request.
"Minister Liu!" Zeng Wangcai stopped and said, "I'm going to catch fish now. This is also part of production. Please don't interfere with me, okay?"
"Catching fish? Fish is fine too. Give me 10,000 kilograms of fish. No, 5,000 kilograms will be fine too."
"You're so brave, asking for fifteen thousand..."
"I know you can do it..."
If Liu Youren gave orders in a ministerial manner, Zeng Wangcai would have been easy to deal with, but he didn't. He just kept giving orders like a dog-skin plaster.
Zeng Wangcai is a soft-hearted person who does not respond to harsh treatment.
He thought for a moment and said, "Minister Liu, I'll let my fellow villager talk to you later, okay?"
“Fellow villager?” Liu Youren heard the word “fellow villager” again and immediately understood. “Okay, let the fellow villager talk to me.”
The so-called fellow villager is Zeng Youhuo.
Zeng Wangcai has exceeded the task. At least in the next two years, he will no longer be restricted by 10,000 kilograms of materials per month. Two years is enough. Two years later will be 62 years, and he has already thought about the stage for 62 years.
Ah San, are you ready?
(Single three...don't...oh no...)
After dealing with Liu Youren, Zeng Wangcai asked Lin Fusheng and others to prepare to go fishing at Shuichaizi.
The fish he had thrown into the No. 2 water channel had been caught almost all the time. Without Zeng Wangcai, you would have to be lucky enough to catch the big fish.
More than a dozen people, in half a day, "low-key" harvested about 700 to 800 kilograms of fish, and kept them by the water with a net. When Zhang Xiuzhi and others arrived, Zeng Wangcai's fishing activities officially stopped.
Two trucks slowly drove into the base and stopped in the base's parking lot.
Before the car stopped, Lin Huyang jumped out of the car and pounced on Zeng Wangcai, crashing into the dark-skinned Zeng Wangcai.
Zeng Wangcai did not dodge or give way, but used his chest to absorb his brother's impact.
"Good fellow, you didn't move at all!" Lin Huyang didn't bump into Zeng Wangcai, but patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "You've changed so much, if we go out to fight again, we can stand in a row."
"I can't do it. I have to follow behind you two!" Huang Liang walked over quickly. At this moment, there seemed to be nothing wrong with his legs.
Just one simple sentence brought the three of them back to the time when they fought together.
In the evening, dinner begins.
The soldiers had a dinner of meat and fish. The fatigue from days of work was dissipated in laughter and joy with this snack.
By the lake, a bonfire is burning.
Zeng Wangcai and his six companions swatted the big mosquitoes flying through the mugwort smoke while waiting for the grilled fish to be cooked.
At their feet was beer bought from the old city.
There were a hundred boxes of Five Star Beer. Zeng Wang Finance reminded Lin Huyang to get them from Zheng Yishan. They had one box, and the rest were for the soldiers to have as a snack.
"Wangcai, Minister Liu came to me this afternoon to discuss the purchase of pigs and chickens. Why didn't you tell me about this?" Zeng Youhuo said while smoking a cigarette, "It would be bad if we really asked the army for money, right?"
He was a little scared because there were so many supplies this time, unlike before.
"What's wrong with that?" Zeng Wangcai took a sip of beer, which had been soaked in water and was chilling to the bone. "The fruits of our labor, no matter who they are given to, have to pay a price and must be exchanged.
"Besides, we have no money. We have to spend all the money on food and drink for the past few months, occasionally buy some expensive food, and spend a lot on repairing the house. What should we do if we don't make some money to protect ourselves?"
Zeng Youhuo was stunned. You want to make money? Are you doing it from the army?
"I agree!" Zhang Xiuzhi raised her hand slightly. "Efforts must be rewarded. Second Uncle and Xiaohu's hard work over the past few months should not be in vain."
The small group is a bit like a meeting, and we have developed the good habit of raising our hands when we want to interrupt and speak.
Zeng Youhuo raised his hand: "That's not right. Among the fifty or so pigs, only a small number are our wild boars. Most of the piglets are from the army."
“Feed the pigs…”
"Wangcai, raise your hand!" Lin Huyang reminded.
