Father Qin was a little confused, "Then why did Secretary Chen let me ask you?"
"Dad, I don't know how to raise pigs, but I told Secretary Chen that when raising pigs, we should feed them some fish, shrimp, and snails. These things are rich in protein and can supplement the nutrition of pigs.
Duckweed and water plants are also fine. You can collect duckweed and water plants from the river to feed the pigs. They are all very good pig feed."
Qin's father found it a little unbelievable.
It is understandable that fish and shrimp are nutritious, but duckweed is growing excessively, so is it also nutritious?
"Can duckweed and water plants be used to raise pigs?"
“Yes, duckweed is high in protein and is a good fattening feed for pigs.
If the brigade clears out all the duckweed, we can encourage it to grow in the ditches and fish ponds, and then we won’t have to worry about pig feed.”
"Okay, tomorrow I'll have everyone pick up the duckweed and feed it to our team's pigs to see if we can fatten them up."
There are still several months before the Chinese New Year. If they can fatten up the pigs, they can have a prosperous New Year.
After the discussion was completed, Shen Annian went back to his room to rest.
The next morning, she and Brother Qin went to Gaoshan Village together.
After Zhao Yongshi came back yesterday, he arranged for people to pick dates. Not long after he went to the fields in the morning, a child ran over and said that the person who worked yesterday had arrived.
He hurried to check to avoid any delay.
When I got closer, I saw Shen Annian standing at the door of the brigade office. In addition to her, there was another young male comrade. This person was probably the one who wanted the red dates.
Zhao Yongshi walked over with a smile on his face, "Secretary Shen, you're here so early. Who is this?"
"His name is Qin Zhengyi, and he's a buyer for the Red Star Food Factory.
I brought your red dates over for them to try, and they thought they were pretty good, so they came over to take a look.”
"Welcome, welcome."
Secretary Shen is so efficient. She brought people here today for the matter she just mentioned yesterday.
"Secretary Shen, let's go inside and sit down."
"I won't sit down. You guys can discuss it among yourselves. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
She has already taken the lead, so there is nothing to do even if she stays. It is better for her to go back and take care of her own business.
"Secretary Shen, I'll see you off."
"No, you guys discuss your own business, I'm going back first."
Shen Anyian rode his bicycle to a nearby mountain village to check the situation.
The village is called Majiaao. It is better than Gaoshan Village, but the situation is not much better.
However, Shen An Nian found out some useful information: the people in Majiaao like to grow peanuts, and every household has a lot of peanuts.
These days, everyone is short of food, and only the team will distribute some pork before the New Year.
Everyone is hungry.
Peanuts contain oil, which can add some fat and water, so every household likes to grow peanuts in their private plots.
Of course, the number is not large.
Gaojiaao originally had a privately-owned peanut oil workshop, but it later closed down due to policy changes.
We have the oil pressing technology and the raw materials.
There shouldn't be any problem opening a small workshop in the village.
Shen Annian wanted Captain Gao to give her some peanut oil so that she could talk to the supply and marketing cooperative in town about selling oil.
Captain Gao was a little hesitant. Informants were common these days, and today was his first meeting with Shen Anyan. He was really afraid that he would be cheated.
Shen Annian was very helpless and told him the whole story.
"Secretary Chen sent me here so that I could understand the difficulties faced by my fellow villagers and find ways to ensure that everyone has enough food and clothing, and can get out of poverty and become prosperous as soon as possible."
Captain Gao still didn't believe her.
The commune always shouted slogans loudly, but I never saw a time when it actually got anything done.
Chunchun was just fooling them, and he had been fooled so many times.
In the end, Shen Annian relied on his eloquence to get half a bottle of peanut oil from Captain Gao.
She dipped the tip of her chopsticks into the peanut oil and took a sip.
This peanut oil is very mellow and rich. She believes that as long as she can convince Secretary Chen to open an oil factory, there will definitely be a market for it.
She asked Captain Gao in detail whether there was anyone in the brigade who was abusing the new bride. After understanding the situation, she took the oil and went to the town hospital to see Li Sanhua.
Li Sanhua has regained consciousness. There are two skinny little girls in the ward. Their clothes are very worn, their heads are big, and their hair is dry and yellow. It is obvious that they are severely malnourished.
Shen Anyian put the fruit she brought on the table and greeted her with a smile, "You're awake."
Li Sanhua was not sure of her identity. She only heard the nurses say that a commune cadre sent her to the hospital and paid her hospital fees. She didn't know if it was this girl.
But this girl doesn't look very old. She is so young and pretty, and doesn't look like a commune cadre.
"Comrade Sanhua, my name is Shen Annian. It was me who had an argument with Old Lady Ding yesterday and sent you to the hospital."
Shen Anyian first introduced himself, then asked, "How is your health?"
"I'm much better now, Comrade Shen. I've heard everything. Don't worry, I'll pay you back for the medical expenses later."
"It doesn't matter whether you have medical expenses or not, you don't need to worry about that. The most important thing for you now is to rest well and take good care of your health.
I figured you wouldn't be able to rest well if you went home, so I paid for your seven days of hospitalization.
You should stay in the hospital for the next few days and take good care of yourself."
Li Sanhua almost burst into tears. "Thank you so much, comrade! I really don't know how to repay you."
"Don't say that. I'm a commune official. I can't just ignore the people when they're in trouble.
