Chapter 137 Zhao Lao Er
The three brothers of the Zhao family sold the 60 kilograms of pork that they were entitled to to Zhao Yi, and each received 47.4 yuan, half of which was blood and half of which was liver from each pig. They happily carried the 60 kilograms of feed and drove the piglets back home.
Zhao Yi bought them a piglet, and they also received a free piglet.
The slaughterhouse director happily saw the three people out the door.
"As for Brother Zhao's bran, I'll have my father-in-law come over in a couple of days to take you to the city to buy it. The piglet will be left to you."
Zhao Yi looked at the three people and said.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyi. We have experience now."
Zhao Laoer said with a smile.
When the piglets were small, it took about seven days to change the hay, which was fertilizer. When the piglets grew up, it took about three days to change the hay. The fertilizer contributed by the two pigs to the village earned their family 800 work points.
This was almost three months' worth of work points for a strong laborer, which provided the family with a lot more food.
Zhao Yi did not take the rubber shoes and work points, but gave them all to them, which gave them an extra income of almost fifty yuan a year.
After chatting with Zhao Yi for a few words, he hurriedly drove the piglets home. Tomorrow he had to take his wife and children to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cloth to make new clothes.
Zhao Laoer drove the piglets back home.
The whole family gathered around happily.
"Why did the boss come back with two piglets?"
"You silly woman, we're raising pigs this year but not next year. Are you going to let someone else make the money? Hurry up and send this portion to the third brother's family. I'll go get the feed back from home."
After saying this, Zhao Laoer hurried back.
He gave all the feed to his third brother to carry, and he was responsible for driving the pigs in the front.
The fourth brother was responsible for carrying the pig blood and bringing the pigs back from the water.
One hundred and eighty tons of feed and two large full bags of urea, Zhao Laosan was carrying them but surprisingly he was not much behind Zhao Laoer.
After returning home, the three of them borrowed a scale from the team headquarters, weighed it carefully, and were relieved to make sure that each family had weighed 60 kilograms. Then they weighed the pig's blood and liver and divided them equally among the three families.
"I can finally have a decent meal at the end of the year."
Zhao Laoer said with emotion.
"How much money did the boss Zhao Yi give you?"
Zhao Laoer's wife asked.
"It's all here, 47.4 yuan. Tomorrow you can take your kids to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cloth to make new clothes. The pig grass and hay are all cut by them, so they should be rewarded well.
If you work hard again next year, I will make you new clothes and give each of you 1 cent to buy some candy. ”
Zhao Laoer said generously, and then handed all the money to his wife.
This stunned Zhao Laoer's wife. She originally thought that Zhao Yi giving twenty yuan was already very good, but she didn't expect him to give so much.
It seems that the piglets that came back today have to be taken good care of. After packing the money, I hurried to the pigpen to see if my children had laid out hay for the piglets. I had originally prepared to cook some food, so I quickly prepared some for the piglets.
This is our family’s cash cow, and there can’t be any mistakes.
In the evening, people in the village who had a good relationship with the Zhao family came to the home of the three Zhao brothers.
They originally thought that they would see the Zhao brothers gathering together to eat meat and drink wine. After all, today they saw the Zhao family driving six big fat pigs to the commune.
But after walking back and forth outside the yard several times, I didn't smell any meat aroma. I found an excuse to go into the yard. I was indeed drinking wine, but what I ate was sauerkraut soup and pig's blood.
"Second brother, you are too thrifty. You killed such a big fat pig and you couldn't bear to eat a bite."
"I sold them all to the slaughterhouse, and only took back some of the pig's blood. My family has had no income for so many years and is in debt. I have to pay back the debts. I also bought a piglet to raise. How can I eat and drink lavishly?"
Zhao Laoer said with a smile.
Although they lived a hard life, the Zhao family really didn't owe any debts. They just didn't want to talk about helping Zhao Yi raise pigs. If everyone in the village knew about it, those who had a good relationship with Zhao Dahai would be more cunning than them.
This good job may not be my family's turn in the future.
As for raising pigs themselves, they are reluctant to spend money on bran. If the pigs get sick, they have to spend a lot of money on injections. If they fail to keep them alive, all the money they have saved with great effort will be wasted.
Helping Zhao Yi to raise pigs is like picking up a ready-made thing. You don't have to worry about anything. Zhao Yi pays for the bran, and if the pigs get sick, Zhao Yi pays for their medical treatment. If they die, Zhao Yi will deal with it himself. You only need to worry about taking care of your own family.
"Didn't your eldest brother's family help buy it?"
The villagers asked curiously.
"You have to pay them back, right? You can't just take advantage of them for nothing."
Zhao Laoer said with a smile.
The members who originally wanted to eat a few chopsticks of meat could not continue the conversation after hearing this. As for the pig blood in their bowls, it was not even enough to fill their teeth.
Zhao Laoer is not stupid. He knows what these people are planning. They just want to get a free meal of meat.
Now my family has to save money to send my children to school, and they can’t be as uneducated as me.
As for the pork liver at home, it was prepared for the brothers to eat together at family gatherings.
area.
Zhao Yi rushed back to the area on a tractor. No one checked his tractor along the way. Zhao Yi also had a letter of introduction issued by the commune slaughterhouse, so he was not afraid of being checked.
As soon as I arrived at my doorstep, everyone from the department store was already waiting in the yard.
The driver helped Zhao Yi move the pork, and was reluctant to leave after he finished moving. Zhao Yi saw through his thoughts at a glance.
He shared two pounds of meat with the other party, at 80 cents a pound, and did not ask for the other party's meat ticket. After buying two pounds of meat, the driver happily left Zhao Yi's house.
Looking at the three pieces of pork in the yard, everyone didn't know how to choose for a moment, as all of them looked fatter than the pork sold at the meat stall.
Originally, Zhao Yi was going to send it to the black market. Such pork would cost 90 cents per pound on the black market, but since he had a good relationship with everyone, he gave up the idea.
I receive gifts from people from time to time, and when added up, they amount to quite a lot.
Zhao Yi sold those gifts on the black market for seventy or eighty yuan.
There were more than 300 kilograms of pork, and the group of people in the department store bought more than 200 kilograms. Each person weighed 10 kilograms of pork and left Zhao Yi's house happily.
He politely declined Zhao Yi's invitation to dinner in the evening and went home to make lard.
"I have to deliver two kilograms to my master, Director Wen, Director Xu has to deliver two kilograms, Sister Li from your side hasn't left, Director Tu hasn't gone either, the director of the street office came over a few days ago and delivered two cans of milk powder, so he has to move around.
I also have to send some to my cousin's house, my uncle's house, and my parents' house.
I'll send ten kilograms to my parents. It's still in time for you to go after you finish visiting here. Although they also raise pigs, this is our token of our thoughtfulness.
Finally, we will see how much is left and make arrangements. ”
Zhang Jing said.
The parents Zhang Jing mentioned of course refer to both sets of parents. Twenty kilograms of pork have been taken away, so it is estimated that there will not be much pork left in the end.
Zhao Yi nodded. He had to maintain these relationships without Zhang Jing reminding him.
