Chapter 95: Grade 9
After visiting her two aunts, Zhang Jing received two red envelopes of five yuan each.
It was already the third day of the New Year when we arrived at Zhangjia Village.
As soon as the couple walked into the courtyard, Wang Kaihui greeted them with a smile.
"Xiao Yi, girl."
"mom."
Zhang Jing and Zhao Yi shouted at the same time.
At this time, Zhang Fusheng and his second brother Zhang Xiang also walked out of the main room and invited Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing to come in and sit down.
"Where's my brother?"
After Zhao Yi sat down, he didn't see Zhang Jun and asked.
"Your eldest brother went to his grandmother's house and his wife's house to pay New Year's greetings."
Zhang Fusheng smiled.
The whole family was so happy to see Zhao Yi that they brought all the delicious food at home to the table.
It had been less than a year since Zhang Jing married Zhao Yi, and the family's life had changed dramatically. The eldest son, Zhang Jun, became a worker, and Wang Kaihui and the second son's wife could earn 20 yuan a month by making shoes for the supply and marketing cooperative at home.
I can earn more than ten yuan by sending meat to the supply and marketing cooperative once a month.
The family has more livestock than before, and the income from eggs alone has doubled.
"I'm going to send one of our old hens to Li Dequan, and the two extra ones to the supply and marketing cooperative for them to share. I'm also going to buy three pigs to raise. Xiaoyi, do you think this is feasible?"
Zhang Fusheng looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
Zhang Fusheng knew that the pig raised by Zhao Yi weighed more than 200 kilograms when it was sent to the slaughterhouse, and the commune reported and praised it.
"If possible, bring a mission pig along to raise together."
Zhao Yi looked at his father-in-law and said.
There is no problem in raising your own pigs, but it is inevitable that some jealous pigs will cause trouble. It is best to raise task pigs together and treat them equally.
Nowadays, there are rewards for raising your own pigs or task pigs. There is a severe shortage of meat on the market, so a series of reward policies have been introduced. Unfortunately, most families do not have extra grains to raise pigs.
More often than not, the family doesn’t have extra money to buy piglets.
After hearing what Zhao Yi said, Wang Kaihui nodded.
When Zhao Yi first raised pigs, he asked Zhang Fusheng to help him buy a lot of bran from the local grain processing plant and mix it with pig grass to feed the pigs. Zhang Fusheng and Zhang Xiang went to see it several times. Chestnuts and yams from the mountains were dried and ground into powder and sprinkled into the feed. Small fish and shrimps from the fields were also often cooked and fed to the pigs.
The wheat straw piled up in the team and the dried weeds in the mountains would be brought home, and the pigpen would be cleaned every two days.
"By the way, Xiaoyi, why does he have to clean the pigsty every two days and replace the dried weeds every time?"
Wang Kaihui asked with some confusion.
The breeding farms in the production team would not do this.
"There are two benefits to doing this. First, the amount of fertilizer used in the farm will be increased, which can be exchanged for more work points. Second, it can provide the pigs with a clean and comfortable pigsty so that they don't have to lie on the wet ground for a long time. Although pigs rarely get sick, they can get sick. This can reduce the number of illnesses.
If there are four pigs, it is best to raise them separately in two pig pens. ”
Zhao Yi explained.
Not only pig manure can be exchanged for work points, but even the manure in one's own toilet can be exchanged for work points according to the standard. Production teams close to the urban area will regularly go to nearby public toilets to contract the work of removing manure, so that the team's fields can have more agricultural fertilizers available.
As long as the weather does not change too much, the production team with sufficient agricultural fertilizers will naturally have a high grain yield.
"So there are so many things in it. Where did you learn all these?"
Zhang Xiang looked at Zhao Yi curiously and asked.
“I saw it in a book distributed by the commune.”
Zhao Yi smiled.
The commune often distributes brochures, but most people don’t take them seriously and think that the brochures are useful for starting stoves.
Unless people from the art troupe are invited to come and perform a drama, they can learn something while watching the show. If they are not allowed to read, basically everyone feels that they have to go to work the next day and do not have that much time. If they have that free time, they might as well find more familiar people to chat with.
I had lunch.
"Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister-in-law, we have to go back. There's no one on shift over there. It's been three days since we opened the shop for work. It's not going to be good. I'll bring Xiaojing back to visit you when I have time.
If you have any problems at home, just come and find me at the department store. ”
Zhao Yi looked at everyone and said.
No one tried to persuade them to stay, knowing that Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing would have to visit their coworkers or leaders when they returned.
The family sent the two of them to the commune.
Zhang Xiang also carried a basket of things on his back.
Zhao Yi waited until he got on the tractor heading to the county town before putting the backpack on the tractor.
"They are just some food and some eggs. You have to spend money on everything in the region. Just don't look down on me for not being able to give you anything good."
Zhang Xiang looked at Zhao Yi and said.
"We are all family, so what are you talking about? Whatever you send is a token of your kindness, second brother. We will go back first."
Zhao Yi finished speaking.
Wang Kaihui gave a few more instructions, and then the tractor drove towards the county town.
In the evening, the two returned to their home in the East City of the district.
After they finished their dinner, they carried the gifts they had prepared long ago and walked towards the tube building.
After Zhao Yi visited Director Li and Director Tu's families, Zhang Jing received two more red envelopes.
When I arrived at Master Zhang Jing's house, I met Li Fang who came to pay New Year's greetings.
"When did you come back?"
Zhang Jing saw Li Fang and immediately smiled and asked.
"I came back on the early bus this morning. My father asked me to visit the master and the director more often."
Li Fang smiled.
When Zhao Yi returned to the village, he did not visit Li De's family. It was not because he did not want to go, but because he did not have enough time.
"You two girls are the same. Didn't you send me gifts before the New Year? Why are you here again? Are you greedy for the red envelope from my master?"
Master Liu looked at the two of them and said.
The tone was full of joking.
"You are our master, so we should show respect to you."
Li Fang handed over the gift and said.
"Master, that happened last year. What we gave was the first gift of this year."
Zhang Jing also said with a smile.
"You two little girls have a lot of excuses. Hurry up and go inside to eat. Don't tell me you've already eaten. If you don't want to eat, take your gifts and go back there."
Master Liu smiled and led the three people in.
Master Liu had apprentices before, but those people only gave her gifts once or twice during their apprenticeship, and after that there was no contact or visits. Unexpectedly, these two girls treated her as their own master.
This made Master Liu fall in love with the two of them.
The two of them became much closer.
The three of them were actually full at this time, but they still picked up their chopsticks and accompanied Master Liu and his parents to eat dinner.
“It’s difficult to become a formal employee. You have only been in the factory for a short time. Don’t be anxious. Some things cannot be rushed. It’s a good thing to build relationships, but don’t be too frequent, or some people will think you are unscrupulous in order to become a formal employee.
There are all kinds of crazy talk in the factory. You can go to the director's place after get off work. ”
Master Liu looked at the two of them and reminded them.
"Got it, Master."
The two of them nodded quickly.
