I will discuss this matter with others later. If it succeeds, good days will be waiting for everyone.
But if you fail, it will take at least two years to recover.”
Jiang Mengxue remembered that the Feiyue Brigade seemed to have also planted pasture grass and raised more livestock than in previous years.
Although it has not yet reached a certain scale, it is much better than before, and there are still many aspects worth learning from.
"Dad, if you have time, you can go to Feiyue Brigade and ask my uncle. Didn't Feiyue Brigade raise a lot of pigs and sheep last year? They have some experience.
I remember that members of the cooperative could also receive a pig assignment, or could each family plant some alfalfa in their own private plots, so they could raise a couple more pigs, which would be a bit of extra income."
The alfalfa seeds were originally distributed by the commune, and the subsequent seed preservation work depended on each brigade.
"What are you thinking? Raising pigs in the commune is not something anyone can do. If the pigs die, you'll have to pay compensation. Who would be willing to take such a big risk?
Only those with many people in the family would be willing to take on two task pigs. Normally, it is considered good to be able to raise one. If there are more, the family will be too busy to handle them.
We have so many strong laborers and children in our family, but we didn’t get any pigs. The commune was also worried about raising pigs that would spoil, so they only gave one or two pigs to each family at most.”
This matter has been mentioned before, but it is always difficult to make up my mind whether to do it or not.
"Dad, we can give this a try. We have a place for breeding in our team. There is a large area at the foot of the mountain. Before the spring planting begins, we can ask people to fence off the area and build a few simple straw sheds. We can arrange to build mud bricks later when we have time.
Besides, we don’t have to raise a lot at the beginning. We only raised a dozen to share among the members, and each family can’t get much.
We'll raise over 30 this year, and then we can sell them to a purchasing station. With such a big fish pond, we can also raise some ducks and geese. Maybe the fish will grow better, so let's try it little by little."
Jiang Dachun sat aside and listened to their conversation, with many thoughts in his mind.
There is even a feeling that he doesn't want to be a worker anymore and it would be nice to take over his father's job. He is confident that he can lead the members to better development.
Of course he didn't dare say this, otherwise his father would definitely beat him with a stick.
Jiang Youfu is also a courageous man, otherwise he would not have been able to become the team leader.
After figuring it out, he said to Jiang Mengxue, "Well, I'll go with you to the Feiyue Squadron tomorrow to discuss things with your captain. We can have more exchanges and exchange experiences."
Jiang Dachun's eyes lit up. He was very interested and wanted to go and listen.
The next day, they set off without even having breakfast. Jiang Dachun didn't know how he talked to his father, but he also followed them.
On the way home, they first passed by the health center prepared by the brigade headquarters. Jiang Mengxue took the two of them in to take a look.
Jiang Youfu looked around the yard. The space at the entrance was quite large. Usually when the brigade held meetings, if there were few people, they would sit in the small square in front. Only when there were many people would they go to the drying yard.
There are usually a lot of people passing by the entrance of the health center.
But only this location is suitable. It is right in the middle of the entire Feiyue Brigade. Members don’t have to run too far to see a doctor. Otherwise, if they lean to either side, others will have opinions.
"So when will your work start? Isn't this room empty and empty?
And what about medicine, gauze, tools, etc.? Aren't there any of those?"
As he spoke, he saw the newspapers pasted on the wall and the swept floor.
"But you cleaned the house quite well. You must have put a lot of effort into covering the walls with newspapers."
Jiang Mengxue also looked at the wall and said, "Well, it will take four or five days to finish. After a while, the table frame made by the carpenter will be moved in. Then the team will take the list to the county hospital pharmacy to pick up the medicine and other necessary items."
Jiang Yongfu looked at the conditions of the clinic and nodded with satisfaction. He couldn't help but think of Taoyuan Brigade. It would be great if Taoyuan Brigade also had a clinic.
If conditions permit, other production teams will also build a health center in the future.
But now many teams have rural doctors, but they are not formal ones.
There is no salary or benefits. At most, villagers give some money or gifts when they go to the hospital to see a doctor or get medicine.
But it is possible if the team leader is willing to help with the application.
At that time, the commune will distribute wages and benefits uniformly, and the specific operation will depend on the decision of the team.
After closing the door, Jiang Mengxue took the two of them back home.
Gu Zhenjiang and Li Cuiying are pasting the soles of shoes at home. Li Cuiying is preparing to make a few pairs of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles, which will be more comfortable to wear in daily life.
Hearing the noise at the door, he came out with the cloth in his hand.
"Oh, my in-laws are here too, come in quickly."
Li Cuiying warmly welcomed the two into the house and sat them down, and Gu Zhenjiang picked up the kettle to pour tea for them.
Jiang Mengxue told Gu Zhenjiang the purpose of Jiang Youfu and the others' visit.
If this is accomplished, it will be good for the future development of both brigades.
At the very least, everyone's life will be much better, and their living conditions will be better as they earn more money.
Gu Zhenjiang also thought this was a good idea, but he was not a professional after all, so they had to discuss it themselves.
"Then I'll take you to my eldest brother's house later. He should be home all day today."
Li Cuiying also sat aside and listened to their talk.
He said, "Then you might as well go now. After you finish discussing it, call Big Brother over at noon. We'll all have lunch here."
Jiang Youfu and Jiang Dachun also wanted to go quickly to get the matter sorted out sooner and feel at ease sooner.
