Chapter 69 Tractor Drivers

Captain Tang is of course on the side of the Shen family. It was agreed that if there were any vacancies for tractor drivers, they would give priority to the families with the most pigs on the mission. Why is Aunt Qi making trouble now?

Deputy Captain Qi Guoliang coughed and said, "Captain Tang, you can't calculate it this way. The number of pigs raised by Shen Xiangdong's family does not exceed half of the total number of pigs adopted by our brigade. Giving the quota to Shen Xiangdong's family is unfair to other pig farmers."

"That's right, Captain Tang, I think we should all draw lots together. We all got the mission pig, why should we give it to Shen Xiangdong's family?"

Old Lady Ji sneered, "Okay, we don't want the position of tractor driver anymore, and we won't raise these piglets anymore. Do you want to return these piglets, or do you think anyone is willing to take over these ten piglets?"

When these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other and dared not say a word.

"Why, you only want the benefits but don't want to take responsibility? There is no such good thing in the world!"

"Okay, we agreed at the beginning that whoever brings more piglets will get this opportunity. Since the Shen family has the perseverance to bring ten piglets, the qualification to go to the county for training will fall to the Shen family. Aunt Ji, who do you think should be sent by your family for training?" Captain Tang made the final decision, making Aunt Qi and Qi Guoliang hate him so much.

"My family needs to discuss this. We'll get back to you tomorrow after we've discussed it." After getting the position of tractor driver, Old Lady Ji was also worried. Logically, this position should be given to the eldest son in the family, but he broke his thigh, so he must have missed this opportunity. So should the remaining position be given to the second or third son? The position was reserved for the Shen family, so Wang started to make a fuss: "The eldest brother's leg is not convenient, so this position must be given to my family. There is an order of seniority. If this position is not given to Xiangnan, who should it be given to?"

Shen Xiangnan didn't want to fight for this position: "Give it to my third brother. He has been smarter than me since he was a child. I think he can learn to drive a tractor quickly. I can only dig for food in the fields. How can I learn that?"

"You are stupid! If you go, you will be a tractor driver. Not only do you not have to work in the fields every day, but you will also receive an allowance of ten yuan a month! Then you will be eating government food from now on!" Wang was very disappointed with him.

"Second brother, you go ahead. I'm not interested in that." Shen Xiangxi said.

Mrs. Du wanted to open her mouth to say something, but finally closed it again.

Old Lady Ji pulled out two sticks and said, "Okay, both of you stop giving in to each other. Go ahead and hit them. Hit the longer one. The shorter one will remain the same. Don't blame anyone. Everything depends on fate."

Shen Xiangnan and Shen Xiangxi looked at each other and took a cigarette each.

Shen Xiangxi won the prize.

"Okay, then the third child will be chosen. Your monthly allowance is calculated by the family before, 10% for your own use and 90% for the family. But the third child still owes the family 70 yuan, so the entire allowance must be turned in every month. Third child, the family was able to get this tractor driver position thanks to your younger sister. If your younger sister hadn't wanted to take ten piglets, our family wouldn't have gotten this position."

Wang wanted to say something, but was stopped by a look from Old Lady Ji.

Mrs. Du was delighted. She didn't expect that her husband got the position of tractor driver.

"Mom, little sister, don't worry, I will study hard and drive this tractor as soon as possible."

The next day, Shen Xiangxi packed up and went to the county for training. Before leaving, Shen Ruoqing gave Shen Xiangxi a few packs of Daqianmen cigarettes.

"Third brother, although we are here for training, we still need to be more tactful and give the master some cigarettes so that he can teach us more attentively. We should not only learn how to drive this tractor, but also how to repair it."

Shen Xiangxi took the cigarette given by Shen Ruoqing and nodded heavily.

Ever since Shen Xiangxi got the training spot, Wang had been nagging Shen Xiangnan every day, "Why did you give up this spot? Our family will have a heavy burden on our three sons in the future, and this opportunity is so rare. You are so disappointing! It really makes me so angry!"

Shen Xiangnan was tired of listening to Wang's complaints every day: "My third brother is smarter than me. My eldest brother is injured, so he is the most suitable one to go. And even if I draw lots, I won't be chosen. This is fate. Don't think about those things every day. You have ruined your good life. Besides, aren't we a family? It doesn't matter who goes."

"How can it be the same? Being a tractor driver is such a prestigious thing. You get paid by the government and don't have to work in the fields. With the third brother gone, all the housework will fall on the two of us, and you're still standing there, having a good time!"

The more Wang thought about it, the angrier she became, and she quarreled with Shen Xiangnan for several days.

Since Shen Xiangxi went to the training, the people in the village have been trying to curry favor with Du, whether intentionally or unintentionally, saying that her husband is capable and clever, which made Du feel a little flattered. Her husband got the position of tractor driver, and her status seemed to be different. Du unconsciously straightened her back a little more.

Liu Xinyi knew about this a long time ago, but she didn't argue because her family couldn't possibly raise ten piglets. However, the tractor driver of Shen Ruoqing's family was because of these ten piglets. What if something went wrong with these ten piglets?

Liu Xinyi sneered, it was time to make Shen Ruoqing fall.

Shen Ruoqing didn't know that Liu Xinyi had set her sights on her piglets. She was feeding them a snack. She fed them a mixture of oil residue and alfalfa, which allowed the pigs to grow meat quickly.

Alfalfa is a very good forage grass. It is very good for livestock to eat and in fact, it is also suitable for human consumption. It is a wild vegetable with a pretty good taste. She also planted a patch of it on her private land, which saved her the trouble of going outside to collect grass for pigs.

After feeding the pigs, Shen Ruoqing went to school and did not notice a sneaky figure near the house.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

When Shen Ruoqing came home from school, she found that the piglets at home were lying on the ground and had no energy. Doctor Li was treating the pigs.

"What did you feed the pig? This pig is poisoned and won't live long."

"What happened to the pigs at home?" Shen Ruoqing's eyes narrowed. She originally thought that most people of this era were simple and kind, but she didn't expect that someone would actually do something to her pigs.

"It's walnut skin water. It's poisonous." Doctor Li picked up a walnut skin from the ground. "I don't know which family is so unscrupulous as to resort to such a method."

Although Dr. Li could tell why the pigs were sick, he was not a veterinarian and he could not treat the pigs.

Doctor Li staggered away.

"Damn it! Who can't stand the good life we ​​have? How can he resort to such a vicious trick?" Old Mrs. Ji cursed for a long time. If all the piglets died, how could their family still have a good life?

"Mom, don't worry. Are there any mung beans at home? Give me some." Shen Ruoqing calmed down. This time she was negligent.
