This news came from Fu Hongxing, who works in a coal mine, so naturally he had to think about it first.
As for the remaining poultry, he would naturally arrange for them to be placed in the supply and marketing cooperative for limited sale to the people.
Fu Hongxing was very satisfied with County Chief Qian's arrangement.
Soon after, following the notice that each household could only raise one poultry per person, the county, understanding the difficulties the villagers faced in raising poultry, allowed those weighing more than one jin (500 grams) to be sold to the supply and marketing cooperative.
In this way, at least some of the losses suffered by the people can be compensated.
This news is an unexpected blessing for those who thought they were guaranteed to lose money.
After all, the chick was obtained by trading eggs.
The ones we've raised are about half-grown; although there aren't many, they still weigh about a pound.
Selling them helped offset the cost of the eggs, since we hadn't put much effort or money into raising these chickens and ducks anyway.
It's not a huge loss.
It's the chickens like Ning Jing's, which have already started laying eggs, that are really at a disadvantage.
After all, money is generated every day!
Tan Dingguo never expected the county to make such an arrangement.
He originally planned to take the half-grown chickens and ducks from other people's homes to his farm.
But Ning Jing immediately rejected his plan.
“Village chief, it’s fine if our farm doesn’t make money, but if it does, the families who sell us chickens and ducks will inevitably have some resentment.”
They will think that this money should have been theirs in the first place, and that we stole it from them.
Our intention was for everyone's benefit, but in the end, it turned into a situation where we were caught in the middle, like Pigsy looking in a mirror, pleasing neither side.
Tan Dingguo thought about it and realized that it made sense.
He sighed and abandoned his previous plan.
He also had a lot of chickens and ducks at home. Together with other villagers, everyone was weighed and then loaded onto a truck sent by the county supply and marketing cooperative to collect them. The whole truck was taken away.
Looking at the few thin banknotes in their hands, some people were happy while others were sad.
The one who was naturally worried was Lai Zi, who had been trying to find a way out. He hadn't expected the county to be so thoughtful.
That way, even if he wanted to cause trouble, he wouldn't be able to.
Clutching his rumbling stomach, Lai Zi staggered towards Wang Laowu's house without thinking.
When he reached the door, he realized that although Wang Laowu was now awake, after being pulled back, he not only broke his leg, but also had a crooked face and mouth, making him unable to speak or move.
If his "good brother" has turned out like this, he can only dream of freeloading off him.
He shrank his neck, swallowed hard, and tried to quiet his rumbling stomach.
Just as he was about to leave, the Wang family's gate creaked open from the inside.
Wang Laowu's wife just sold two of their chickens, leaving them with four laying hens.
However, there was no vegetables left at home, so she took out an egg and wanted to exchange it with Aunt Wu next door for a basket of green vegetables.
Unexpectedly, the leper was standing at his doorstep. Reflexively, he put on a sullen face and asked unhappily, "What are you doing here?"
Upon seeing this, Lai Zi hurriedly bowed and scraped, saying, "Sister-in-law Wang, I heard that Fifth Brother was injured, so I came to check on him!"
Hearing Lai Zi's words, Sister Wang's expression softened slightly, but only slightly.
After all, the leper said he was coming to visit his husband, but he didn't bring anything with him. Is that what you call visiting someone?
