Chapter 105 Yang Zhixiong
Arrived at the hospital.
Wang Yanhong went to find the nurse who had taken care of her.
She described the couple who took the child to the nurse.
The nurse said that they were not patients, but were probably visiting patients.
Wang Yanhong went to the ward to ask whose relatives the couple were.
But the people who were hospitalized had been discharged long ago, so she couldn't find out at all. Just
when she was hopeless, the lady who was sweeping the floor in the hospital said that she knew them.
Wang Yanhong was overjoyed and learned the couple's name and address from the lady.
The lady swept the hospital every day and knew a lot of things in the hospital.
Including Wang Yanhong's situation.
The lady said that the family's conditions were indeed good, and it would be a blessing to give the child to their family. She could go and see them quietly, and don't bring the child back to suffer.
Wang Yanhong nodded in agreement in front of the old lady.
…
Shen Jiale successfully hatched 55 chicks.
The Lu family was very surprised.
Liang Qiaoli and Zhou Min were also very excited when they saw the fluffy chicks.
Shen Jiale asked them to wait a little longer.
She was feeding the chickens with cornmeal now. When the wild vegetables on the mountain grow in spring, she could save a lot of feed.
Zhou Min said, "The chicks are small now and can't eat much. How can you make money without investing a penny? The sooner you raise them, the sooner they will grow up and lay eggs."
Liang Qiaoli also thought so. She had money now and wanted to raise chickens and make money sooner.
Shen Jiale said, "Then I'll share some of my chicks with you."
Zhou Min waved her hand and said, "No, sister-in-law, just teach me how to hatch chicks. My parents exchanged 20 eggs for me."
Shen Jiale nodded and said, "This is also simple. The main thing is to control the temperature. They can hatch in three weeks. Since you are willing to invest in breeding costs, why not raise more, the profit will be greater."
Liang Qiaoli said yes and asked Lu Mingfeng to buy eggs for her.
...
Ever since she heard Shen Jiale talk about raising chickens, the village chief's wife has been thinking about it.
Knowing that Shen Jiale's chicks have hatched, she also came to her to ask about hatching chicks.
Shen Jiale was not stingy and taught her the method.
The village chief's wife went back happily.
The matter of raising chickens was not intended to be kept secret. Someone in the village heard about it and went to ask the village chief.
The village chief took this opportunity to gather all the villagers together and told them about raising chickens in the spring.
The villagers thought it was great. They could get chicks for free. They only had to feed the chicks. If the chicks laid more eggs, they would own them. When the chicks grew up, they would be counted as work points.
With the successful example of growing garlic sprouts, the villagers believed the village chief's words and signed up to get chicks.
The village chief told everyone not to worry, and that they would buy chicks in bulk and let everyone get them.
The village chief said that this was Shen Jiale's suggestion, and it was the same with growing garlic sprouts before.
Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect that Shen Jiale, a delicate and weak city dweller, would actually grow vegetables and raise chickens.
Raising chickens is not difficult, as long as you have something to feed them. In the past, families did not have the conditions to raise chickens. This year, everyone has more money and there is no limit on the number of chickens they can raise, so of course they want to raise more.
A villager asked if he could raise 10 chickens.
The village chief said yes.
What about 20?
The village chief said, "Everyone, please report the number of chickens you want to raise. I will make a statistics and buy them all at once."
As for Shen Jiale's current chicken raising, the village chief said, "Mingfeng's family hatches their own chicks and has food to feed the chickens. If you have surplus food to feed the chickens, you can also raise chickens now."
The food that the villagers were given had to last until the summer harvest next year, so they dared not waste it.
So the villagers reported the number of chickens they wanted to raise and waited for the spring to come to collect the chicks.
Seeing the villagers' enthusiasm, the educated youths at the educated youth institute were also tempted.
Everyone discussed raising some chickens at the educated youth institute.
The village chief was surprised to see the number counted by the scorekeeper. It was much more than his expectation of 5 chickens per family.
The minimum was 10 and the maximum was 30.
When he thought of the income from raising these chickens, the village chief was full of longing for the prospects of next year, and he wished that the weather would warm up all of a sudden.
...
When she was about to go back, Zhao Meili stopped Shen Jiale.
"Jiale, the New Year is coming. Have you written a letter back?"
"I wrote it, and asked my father to inquire about your family's situation in the letter."
"Thank you."
Zhao Meili hesitated, looked at Shen Jiale, and said hesitantly: "Can you..."
Shen Jiale knew what she wanted to say, which was nothing more than asking her father to help Director Zhao.
She answered calmly, "Don't make excessive demands. You should know that this is not something I can decide."
Zhao Meili said nothing more and left alone.
When she returned to the educated youth institute, a male educated youth called her.
Yang Zhixiong was the first educated youth to come to Yaoshui Village. He was honest, quiet, and never conspicuous.
Zhao Meili couldn't remember his name for a moment.
"Is there anything?"
Yang Zhixiong handed the opened paper package in his hands to Zhao Meili with both hands: "My family sent me some dried meat. I'll give you some to try." "Dried
meat?"
The paper package that Yang Zhixiong handed over looked quite heavy.
After coming to Yaoshui Village for a long time, although the educated youth all looked forward to receiving things from their families, few actually received anything.
Yang Zhixiong's family unexpectedly sent a large package of meat jerky, which looked to be at least two kilograms in weight, and it was obvious that their family was well off.
Zhao Meili took out a piece of meat jerky from the paper package and thanked Yang Zhixiong.
The village distributed meat, and the educated youth also received some, but not much, and they had to save it for New Year's Eve.
Yang Zhixiong shared the dried meat sent by his family with Zhao Meili, and the educated youth jokingly asked if Yang Zhixiong was interested in Zhao Meili.
Zhao Meili only then knew Yang Zhixiong's name, and asked about Yang Zhixiong's situation, but no one knew much.
Before going to the countryside, her father said that he would take her back as soon as possible and asked her to be patient for a while.
But her father had an accident, and she knew nothing about the family affairs, so her hope of returning to the city was dashed. She
didn't know what the situation was like at Yang Zhixiong's home, and it would be great if he could help her.
With this thought in mind, Zhao Meili would smile when she saw Yang Zhixiong afterwards.
Yang Zhixiong seemed to be encouraged and no longer as shy as before. He would take the initiative to talk to Zhao Meili.
During the conversation, Yang Zhixiong said that his parents were ordinary workers. Zhao Meili was a little unconvinced.
Ordinary workers' families would not be willing to send so much meat jerky at once. You know, if it was replaced with food, it would be enough to eat for a long time.
If asked again, Yang Zhixiong was unwilling to say more.
Zhao Meili didn't want to keep asking.
...
There were 55 chickens at home. Lu Mingfeng said he wanted to build a chicken coop. Shen Jiale drew a picture and asked him to make a chicken coop according to the pattern.
Shen Jiale designed the chicken cage according to the modern chicken farm, with four layers in height and wire mesh all around. There is a feeding trough in front of each layer, which can roll eggs automatically, and there is a partition underneath. Shen Jiale
said that it is very convenient to clean and pick eggs. Lu Mingfeng
first built the main trunk by himself, and then went to Xu Jin to get the wire, and soon the chicken cage was ready.
The chicken cage is placed against the wall and does not take up much space. Zhou Min and Liang Qiaoli saw it and wanted to build one too.
When they asked about the price, they decided to forget it.
It's too expensive.
Anyway, the house is big, so a chicken coop will be enough.
Busy, the New Year is coming.
Liang Qiaoli asked her son and daughter-in-law to come back to the old house for dinner on the 30th.
Grandma Zhou felt lonely spending the New Year at home alone, so Liang Qiaoli, who was already a relative, took her home to celebrate the New Year together.
...
On the morning of the first day of the New Year, the children in the village went around to pay New Year's greetings and ask for peanuts and melon seeds.
Wang Yanhong took a handful of peanuts and went outside, called a child, gave the child a note, and asked him to quietly hand the note to Jiang Haoran.
Jiang Haoran, who received the note, didn't understand why Wang Yanhong gave him an address and a name.
He now had to please Chen Dachun everywhere, but he didn't dare to meet Wang Yanhong. Even if he had doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to ask Wang Yanhong for clarification.
