Chapter 45 Lala Vine 2
Chen Hongying and Liu Zhaodi were so desperate that they almost knelt down to Miao Xiujiu, which finally made Miao Xiujiu "change her mind". So Chen Hongying went to Uncle Li at the village head and asked him to come and help.
In the past, they were Pingxi Village, and now they are Pingxi Production Brigade. Whether it is a village or a production brigade, there are usually a few capable people, either good at weaving baskets or good at slaughtering chickens and pigs. Uncle Li is a capable person in the Pingxi Production Brigade. When he was young, he learned a few tricks from a pig herder and can treat livestock, especially pigs, horses and cows. Now the main job assigned by Chen Youfu is to take care of and serve the pigs of the production brigade.
Now, when he heard that the Gu family's pig had diarrhea, he immediately put down his work and rushed over. We are fellow villagers, and it is not easy for everyone, so of course he would do his best to help.
Uncle Li stepped into the pigpen, put his hands behind his back, and carefully examined the piglet. He then looked around with his eyes, nose, and paws, and finally frowned: "What are you feeding the pigs?"
Upon hearing this, Fubao and Gu Shengtian quickly showed Uncle Li the grass they had cut. Uncle Li checked it and asked, "Is there nothing else?"
Fubao nodded quickly. "Yes, yes. We know pigs can't eat anything they please. Brother Shengtian and I picked this kind of pig grass very carefully and ate it with Xishui and bran."
Uncle Li went over, dipped his finger in the remaining pig feed in the trough, looked at it carefully, tasted it himself, and finally said, "There's nothing wrong with this pig feed. I'll prescribe a recipe for you. Go buy some at the commune and mix it with the pig feed. It should be fine in two or three days."
Miao Xiuju listened and said, "Okay, I'll trouble him!"
Grandpa Li prescribed a prescription. Gu Weiguo asked Miao Xiujiu for fifty cents and borrowed a bicycle from Chen Youfu. He hurried to the commune to buy the medicine. After buying it, he mixed it into the pig feed and watched the pig eat it. Only then did he feel relieved. At dinner that night, everyone naturally discussed the pig. The whole family chanted Amitabha, hoping that the Bodhisattva would bless the pig and that nothing would happen to it.
A pig is a big deal for a farmer and cannot be taken lightly.
For some reason, Fubao couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning. She felt uneasy. There was a cloth in her ears, and Gu Yuehua didn't snore, and Gu Weidong and Liu Guizhi didn't make a sound either. But she felt like something was disturbing her and keeping her awake.
Finally, I fell asleep in a daze, and when I woke up, it was already dawn.
The first thing she did when she got up was to go check on the pigs. She lay down outside the pigpen and looked inside. She was shocked to see that her pigs were leaning against the pen with their four legs stretched out listlessly, as if they were dead!
I was so scared that I ran into the pigpen and touched the pig. The pig grunted weakly.
Right next to the pig, there was a large pool of yellow watery fluid. The pig was also dirty. It was obvious that it had defecated again, and a lot.
Fubao was suddenly sad and almost cried.
Although she looked forward to the pig being fattened up soon and craved eating its meat every day, she was still very sad that the pig died of illness at such a young age.
At this time, the other members of the Gu family also came over one after another. When they saw the situation, they knew it was not good, and quickly called Uncle Li. Uncle Li walked around with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "Try to feed the medicine first. If this doesn't work, then there's nothing we can do."
The Gu family was stunned when they heard this.
Isn't it just diarrhea? Can't it be cured? Why is there no solution?
The Gu family pulled Uncle Li to ask him to help, but Uncle Li was helpless.
The Gu family didn’t know what to do now, and even Miao Xiujiu was a little panicked.
She had said before that she would return the pig to the production team, but that was just a tactic she used to scare the daughters-in-law. Of course, it was impossible to return it, but the death of such a big pig in the Gu family was a huge loss, and they couldn't afford it!
For a moment, the Gu family was shrouded in gloom, and several children who were looking forward to eating pork started crying.
Liu Zhaodi covered her mouth and almost burst into tears. "I finally won the lottery. I was so happy, but why is it that I'm going to die? This, this is so unlucky for our Gu family!"
The news that the Gu family's pig was going to die spread quickly, and the whole production team knew about it. Everyone came to see the sickly pig of the Gu family. It was obvious that it was going to die, and they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, feeling sympathy for the Gu family.
What would the Gu family do if they lost such a big pig? Would they have to pay the production team back for the piglets?
In just half a day, the Gu family became the object of everyone's sympathy.
Nie Laosan's wife suddenly became arrogant. She brought her son Jin to the well to sew shoe soles. She sewed the needle and thread quickly and talked eloquently.
"I've said it before, right? Fubao is a jinx. Whoever raises her will be unlucky! It's not that this matter won't be repaid, it's just that the time has not come yet. Don't look at the Gu family's temporary pride. So what? A fat and shiny piglet was brought home, but it wilted after a few days and is no longer viable. Don't you think it's unlucky? It's better not to win the lottery. How much effort did it take? It's all in vain for her family! So this is what we call real bad luck? It's worse than not winning at all!"
Everyone felt that her words made some sense. The old bachelor Chen Youliang nodded repeatedly, "Don't tell me, this is really mysterious. I heard that Fubao was the main person feeding the pig. Don't you think Fubao must have spoiled the pig?"
The others nodded as they listened. Several wives and old ladies gathered together and naturally talked about something. Someone even slapped her thigh and said, "I saw swine fever a few years ago. Could that pig in her family have been infected with swine fever?"
Swine fever?
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's face changed.
Pork from pigs infected with swine fever can't be eaten, and even if they die now and are slaughtered immediately, they can't be eaten. And wouldn't family members be infected too? This, this ...
So the Gu family soon discovered that when their family members went out, everyone would run away as soon as they saw them. When they met them on the street, they would hide and not dare to say hello to them.
Chen Hongying was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and cursed: "Fellow villagers, what's the point of this! Is it really that serious? My pig is gone and you are all watching the fun?"
Liu Zhaodi secretly pondered and inquired about it, then quickly pulled Shen Hongying aside and said, "Sister-in-law, this doesn't sound good. Our pigs have swine fever. Don't let it infect us, or we'll be in trouble too!"
Shen Hongying: "Ah? Swine fever?"
Liu Zhaodi quickly told Shen Hongying what she had found out, and Shen Hongying turned pale with fright.
Oh my God, this is a matter of life and death!
Shen Hongying panicked: "What should we do? What should we do? Were we not infected? Our children were not infected?"
Liu Zhaodi said aggrievedly, "I don't know. I feel so bad and worried. Fubao, this child... She's just an unlucky person, a jinx. Our family used to live a peaceful life, how could this happen? Whether you're poor or rich, you can still survive. If you have dry food, you can eat more. If you don't have dry food, you can eat less. At least you can survive. If she gets swine fever, she might even die!"
Chen Hongying gritted her teeth, hatred flashing in her eyes: "It seems that Fubao is really here to bring bad luck to us. How could our family be so happy and have to face such a thing?"
Liu Zhaodi sighed, "This won't do, sister-in-law, we have to talk to mother about this. This concerns our child's life!"
Shen Hongying agreed with this, so she put down the work at hand, hurried over to find Miao Xiujiu, and dumped all these things on her.
Miao Xiuju looked at her coldly: "Who told you that Fubao brought bad luck to our family? Who told you that the pig had swine fever? Where did you hear that?"
Shen Hongying stamped her feet and said, "Mom, our pig is dying! Why are other people's pigs fine, but ours is dying? Why are we so unlucky? And why do you think this happened?"
For what?
Miao Xiuju couldn't say anything, but she still said coldly: "Don't nag me about this. If you love each other, then live your life. If you don't love each other, then separate. Don't mention Fubao to me in the future. It will bring bad luck to you! As for this pig, it's dead. There's nothing we can do about it. That's the pig's fate!"
Chen Hongying and Liu Zhaodi looked at Miao Xiuju in disbelief: "Mom, you are determined to protect Fubao!"
Miao Xiuju said expressionlessly, "Yes, I am determined to protect Fubao."
Liu Zhaodi cried out, tears on the verge of bursting out: "I can't live like this. Poor my child, I'd better take him back to my parents' home!"
Miao Xiuju: "Okay, go back, but don't come back to me!"
Liu Zhaodi was dumbfounded. She didn't know whether to go back or not. Finally, she hid in the house and cried loudly.
Liu Guizhi naturally saw the two sisters-in-law making trouble for Miao Xiujiu. She bit her lip and went to the pigpen behind without saying a word.
When I went over, I saw Fubao and Gu Shengtian lying on the pigpen, staring at the pig, their two little heads pressed against each other, tears in their eyes, looking so pitiful.
Liu Guizhi sighed.
Fubao and Gu Shengtian burst into tears as soon as they saw Liu Guizhi.
Gu Shengtian wiped his tears and said, "It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of the little pig."
Fubao lowered his head and drooped his head: "Mom, maybe I really am the reincarnation of a jinx..."
Otherwise, why are the Nie family’s pigs doing well, but the Gu family’s pigs are not?
Liu Guizhi shook her head, pointed at the pig, and shook her head again.
Fubao and Gu Shengtian looked confused, but after thinking about it, they lowered their heads again.
Liu Guizhi opened the fence of the pigpen, walked in, picked up a broom and shovel and started cleaning the pigpen.
Others said the pig had swine fever, but she didn't believe it. She had seen pigs with swine fever when she was a child, and it wasn't like that at all. There were only two possible reasons why the pig had diarrhea: one was a problem with its diet, and the other was poor hygiene.
Liu Guizhi planned to clean the pig first, give it a thorough cleaning, and then feed the pig the Chinese medicine prescribed by Grandpa Li to see if it could be saved.
Things have come to this point, and we can only try our best to save the situation.
When Fubao saw her mother cleaning, she felt uneasy and thought that maybe her mother wanted the pig to leave cleanly before leaving.
Come to think of it, I haven't been in the mood these days and haven't cleaned the pigpen much.
So Fubao followed and cleaned up with Liu Guizhi.
Who knew that at this moment, Liu Guizhi saw half a piece of grass pressed under the pig's butt.
Although it was only half a blade of grass as long as her little finger, Liu Guizhi still picked it up.
She stared at the grass for a while, and suddenly her expression changed.
This, is this Lala Vine?
