Fang Jie's steps were hurried.
Song Fanxing said, "Mom, don't worry, I've read a lot of books on raising pigs. I'll tell you how to do it in a bit, and you can do it exactly as I say."
"Oh...okay...okay."
Although she had raised pigs for many years, she had never raised a sow before. When she suddenly found out that the piglets were about to be born, she was so nervous that she broke out in a sweat.
When we arrived at the pig farm, the sow hadn't given birth yet and was straining.
Fortunately, Song Fanxing was prepared. She estimated that the sow would give birth in the next couple of days, so she put it in a separate pigpen.
Five workers were guarding it.
Next, following Song Fanxing's instructions, Fang Jie and five workers successfully helped the sow give birth to a piglet.
The group was both cautious and excited.
The birthing process went much more smoothly afterward, and a total of 12 piglets were born.
A huge bunch of pink piglets were crammed under the sow's belly; it was quite a sight.
Song Fanxing was so excited that she wanted to capture the moment on camera.
Who would have thought that a kindergarten teacher could raise pigs and help sows give birth?
God gave her a second chance at life, and she wants to create even more possibilities.
Song Fanxing said, "Give the sow some water."
A female worker immediately went to fetch water, and Song Fanxing took the opportunity to mix some spiritual spring water into the pig trough.
The sow smelled the aroma, got up, and drank all the water from the trough.
My body, which was somewhat weak after giving birth, was immediately invigorated, and I could walk with a firm stride.
The sow returned to her piglets and lay down, and the piglets scrambled to drink her milk.
It's safe for now, but someone still needs to watch over them at night to prevent the sow from harming the piglets.
The two men volunteered to stay and keep watch.
The others went back to rest; they were all exhausted after working all night.
Song Fanxing took out two handfuls of walnuts from her pocket and gave them to the two workers guarding the area to replenish their energy.
After they finished eating, their fatigue disappeared, and they were full of energy.
Two more sows gave birth before the Chinese New Year.
Each gave birth to 11 and 12 piglets, all of which survived healthily.
The sow recovered quickly after drinking the spring water.
Before the Lunar New Year, Fang Jie's family slaughtered a pig and invited people from the family compound over for a lively pig-slaughtering feast.
Half of the pig was kept, and the other half was sent to the army canteen to make New Year's Eve dinner for the soldiers who stayed in the army.
The remaining half was then used to cut off ten kilograms for each of the five workers at the pig farm, as a year-end bonus for them.
The five workers were so happy they didn't know what to say.
They would never leave this kind of job, no matter what.
I will definitely work hard, strive hard, and work my ass off.
After dividing it like this, there isn't actually much meat left, just over 100 jin (50 kg).
Fang Jie didn't make braised pork this year, but instead made some salted pork to store for later in the spring.
Neither Song Yaohui nor Song Yaohua returned this year, and the new recruits didn't get holidays so easily.
After feeling sad for a while, Fang Jie cleaned the house inside and out.
Song Fanxing is a diligent young girl who has been a great help.
The couple next door, Political Commissar Fu and his wife, were incredibly envious.
Little girls are just so lovable.
The wheat produced in Song Fanxing's space was plump, and Fang Jie ground a bag of flour.
The weather in Lian City is not suitable for quick-freezing the dumplings, so Fang Jie can't make a bunch of dumplings and leave them as she does in previous years.
You can only have it for one meal at a time.
The family of three had a rather quiet New Year's Eve dinner, and the couple next door, Political Commissar Fu and his wife, were even quieter.
Political Commissar Fu simply brought over a bottle of liquor and started drinking with Song Darong.
Sister Liu also came over with a bowl of melon seeds to chat with Fang Jie.
The two got along well and soon burst into laughter.
Song Fanxing was reading a book about pig farming.
She found herself very interested in this.
Political Commissar Fu joked, "Xingxing, since you love studying pig farming so much, why don't you just quit school and go home to raise pigs? You'll make money that way."
Song Darong glared at her and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense, my Xingxing is going to take the college entrance exam."
The eldest son is a good student, but he wants to be a soldier, so we can only let him be.
The second son wasn't doing well in school, so we decided to send him to the army to get some experience.
His daughter is a good student and has the potential to go to university.
Now that the restrictions have been lifted, she can take the college entrance exam. Although it's a bit difficult, he has confidence in his daughter.
Political Commissar Fu: "Yes, let Xingxing take the college entrance exam, let our family compound produce a college student."
Song Fanxing plans to take the college entrance examination.
I've already decided which university to apply to and what major to study.
Sister Liu: "If Xingxing gets into university, he will be the pride of our entire residential compound."
Fang Jie: "Whether or not she takes the college entrance exam is not important, as long as my daughter is happy."
All she wanted was for her daughter to be happy.
Song Fanxing put down her book and snuggled up to Fang Jie, affectionately touching her.
Her mother is really nice.
Sister Liu said enviously, "Daughters are so much better, they're so soft and sweet, and they're so close to their mothers."
After the New Year, the remaining sows gave birth to piglets one after another.
There are now 55 piglets, all of whom have survived.
There weren't enough piglets, so Fang Jie and Song Fanxing discussed it and bought 50 piglets from outside to raise together.
The pig farm had no pigs to sell, which greatly worried the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative.
He came to Fang Jie's place repeatedly, but Fang Jie couldn't do anything about it.
She wanted to make money, but there were no pigs to sell.
The leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative had no choice but to purchase pigs from other places.
That would be troublesome. In the past, we bought pigs from farmers, and the quality of the pigs varied greatly, some were big and some were small, some were fat and some were lean.
Sales figures also fluctuate.
Since selling the pigs from Fang Jie's pig farm, their business has been booming. They sell out early every day, and if you come late, you can't buy any.
Everyone says the meat from Fang Jie's pig farm is delicious and fragrant.
He had certainly tried it, and it was indeed delicious.
All five sows recovered well and soon became pregnant with piglets again.
In another three months or so, there will be about fifty more piglets born.
Fang Jie and five workers cleared the land for the pig farm early in the morning and planted it all with sweet potatoes.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Song Fanxing added spiritual spring water to the latrine bucket.
The sweet potatoes sprouted within a few days.
The pig farm produces a lot of pig manure, which is sold to several nearby villages.
It is spring planting season, and they need a lot of farmyard manure.
They made 50 yuan just from selling pig manure.
Song Fanxing bought five truckloads of corn from the town and mixed them with corn produced in her space.
Five workers worked for ten days to grind all the corn into cornmeal.
A small patch of sweet potatoes was planted in the field before the Lunar New Year, and now they have grown, with the sweet potato vines growing particularly lushly.
The piglets were fed on this sweet potato vine, mixed with cornmeal, and ate adorable food.
The workers were unaware that the sweet potato vines they harvested each time contained ingredients that Song Fanxing had obtained from her spatial storage.
Otherwise, a small plot of land wouldn't be enough to feed a hundred or so piglets.
The sweet potato vines in the space grow back the day after they are cut, an inexhaustible resource.
Song Fanxing planted sweet potatoes on large plots of land and wheat, rice, and soybeans on smaller plots.
We don't grow much, just enough for our family to eat.
Vegetables were also planted in the small courtyard of the family compound. Song Fanxing watered them with spiritual spring water every few days. The vegetables grew very well, and there was more than enough to eat...
