"good."
Gu Yuting responded and walked back to the yard with her short legs.
Until Gu Weiguo held the book in his hands, he still couldn't believe that he had obtained the secret of pig farming.
The brigade secretary and accountant behind him were extremely excited and kept praising Jiang Xiaoqiao.
Gu Jinhua and the others stood by proudly, listening to the brigade secretary and others praising Jiang Xiaoqiao, and they laughed until their teeth were exposed.
With the successful example of the two plump adult pigs and seven piglets in the Gu family's pigpen, the brigade's public pigs also used the methods in the book. The pig farmer would come to the Gu family from time to time to ask Jiang Xiaoqiao for advice.
Five more families from the Qingshan Brigade went to the agricultural machinery station to pick up their assigned pigs.
By strictly implementing the pig-raising techniques taught by Jiang Xiaoqiao and following the pig-raising methods in the book, the pigs of Qingshan Brigade are much whiter and fatter than those of the surrounding brigades.
When the month came for handing in the task pigs, the task pigs of Qingshan Brigade shocked the commune and all the surrounding brigades.
The pigs from Qingshan Brigade are at least 100 kilograms heavier than those from other brigades. Not only that, the pork from Qingshan Brigade is also tastier and not as smelly and tough as that from other pigs.
After the pig-raising incident, Jiang Xiaoqiao's status in Qingshan Brigade rose again.
Because of this, when Jiang Xiaoqiao and Gu Weiguo and his group proposed growing medicinal herbs, Gu Weiguo and others did not object immediately, but instead considered the feasibility.
It is now the slack season for farming, and the medicinal herbs that Jiang Xiaoqiao brought can be harvested in January.
It’s not a big deal if you can plant two crops before the snow blocks the mountain, it just takes some effort.
Gu Weimin and the pig-raising households in the brigade immediately agreed with Jiang Xiaoqiao, saying that they supported growing medicinal herbs.
The educated youth were the second group of people who supported growing medicinal herbs, especially Zheng Shengnan and the other three. It was great that they could do more work and save some money during the slack season.
Only Fan Jiabao had a miserable face. After coming to the brigade and going to the countryside, the only time he was happy was during the winter farming off-season.
Now, we have to work even during the slack season.
But this was Jiang Xiaoqiao's idea. No matter how lazy he was, he had to support Jiang Xiaoqiao, who was also an educated youth. This was their solidarity.
After hesitating for a moment, the others decided to follow suit.
There is nothing else to do anyway, so I might as well give it a try. If it works, I can earn more money and have a good new year.
The matter of planting medicinal herbs was decided. Jiang Xiaoqiao voluntarily contributed the medicinal seeds, and Gu Weiguo allocated 300 work points to her from the brigade's account. The brigade secretary and others had no objections.
This is what should be done.
In the past few months, Jiang Xiaoqiao has been sharing pig-raising skills, helping to look after the pigs, and delivering piglets. Now he has also shared medicinal herb seeds, hoping to lead everyone to grow medicinal herbs and earn some money.
It is only right to give her these 300 work points.
When it came to growing medicinal herbs, the team members just had the mentality of doing something random during the slack season.
When they saw the green seedlings in the fields, they stayed in the fields every day, fearing that the howling north wind would blow down their medicinal seedlings.
The green sprouts grew slowly until Jiang Xiaoqiao and Zhou Lao said they were ready to be harvested. Everyone collected the herbs together, and then Jiang Xiaoqiao and Zhou Lao processed them.
Then Gu Weiguo, Jiang Xiaoqiao and his team took the prepared medicinal materials to the county town and sold them to the county hospital, making a fairly generous profit.
As soon as the money was received, Gu Weiguo, Jiang Xiaoqiao and his team returned to the brigade. Without waiting for them to make a broadcast announcement, all the team members were waiting at the brigade entrance.
Gu Weiguo took a look and thought, okay, just send them all back now.
The brigade accountant was called in to settle the accounts, and Jiang Xiaoqiao was also asked to help in the brigade headquarters.
When he was done, Gu Weiguo hissed and said, "Xiangbei, when did you come here?"
Jiang Xiaoqiao just noticed Gu Xiangbei was there. There were a lot of people waiting to divide the money, and the brigade headquarters was bustling with activity, so she didn't notice it at all.
Gu Xiangbei said to Gu Weiguo: "You've forced my wife to work here, and it's already dark, so of course I have to come and pick her up."
When facing Jiang Xiaoqiao, Gu Xiangbei switched to a gentle tone in a second.
"Xiao Qiao, it's getting late, let's go home and have dinner," he said.
"good."
Jiang Xiaoqiao looked at the accounting paper in his hand, and after making sure that nothing was missed, he handed it to the brigade accountant.
"Uncle, would you like to go back and have something to eat with us?" Jiang Xiaoqiao asked.
Gu Weiguo waved his hand and said, "You two go back. I'll go home and eat later."
Gu Xiangbei placed the basket in his hand on the table in front of Gu Weiguo and said, "Uncle, you have lost the chance to go home and cook. You will still have the same meal as us tonight."
Gu Xiangbei took Jiang Xiaoqiao's hand and said, "Wife, let's go back."
"Uncle, I'll pick up the dishes tomorrow."
During this period, not only was the brigade idle, but the transport team was also idle.
The snow is heavy and it’s almost the end of the year.
Not to mention that Gu Xiangbei didn't join the transport team to work, so half a month ago, Gu Xiangbei took a vacation at home.
His vacation lasts for two months, and he can stay at home for another month after the New Year.
On this day, every household in Qingshan Brigade was immersed in joy.
The next morning, as soon as Gu Jinhua opened the gate, there was a constant stream of people coming to thank Jiang Xiaoqiao for leading them in raising pigs and growing medicinal herbs.
When everyone came, they either brought brown sugar, some snacks, or bacon, and they all came to express their sincere gratitude.
Jiang Xiaoqiao stayed with Gu Jinhua and was so reluctant to refuse that she almost cried out in frustration.
The main hall of the Gu family was not quiet all morning.
When everyone left, the main room was filled with cabbage, bacon, and food...
Jiang Xiaoqiao looked at Gu Jinhua and asked, "Mom, what should we do with these?"
Although the Gu family has now split up, they have not separated the kitchen, and all matters, big or small, are still decided by Gu Jinhua.
Jiang Xiaoqiao gets along quite harmoniously with Gu Jinhua, He Zhaodi and others. Besides, the old house is quite big and has many rooms. It's nice to live together in this lively atmosphere.
As for the second and third branches of the Gu family, whom she had only met two or three times, Jiang Xiaoqiao had no aversion to them and felt that they were people she could get along with.
There is also the fifth son of the Gu family, Gu Xiangfeng, Jiang Xiaoqiao's brother-in-law. He is a legendary figure.
Jiang Xiaoqiao has been married for almost a year and has never met her brother-in-law.
At first I heard that he was studying in high school in the county, but later I heard that this brother-in-law was very smart and was noticed by a famous professor from Beijing, who took him in as a student.
Then my brother-in-law sent someone to bring back a message saying that he and his teacher were going to study outside.
From then on, there was only a few letters in March and May to report safety, and no more news.
Just now, when Gu Jinhua and Jiang Xiaoqiao said they would pack up the things sent by these teams and return them another day, they mentioned Gu Jia Xiaowu.
