The original three hundred head are still alive and kicking, with zero morbidity and zero mortality rates.
Seeing that their brigade was raising pigs well, the Autumn Harvest Commune sent another 500 piglets, which were to be the pigs for next year's quota.

When the team distributed the profits, everyone received a substantial share.
Families with large households received over a thousand yuan, and even the little rascal Sun Gou Dan received thirty or forty yuan.
The number of educated youth in each settlement was at least sixty or seventy.
Not only that, the brigade ate "pig-killing feast" for three consecutive days. The slaughtering of ten large fat pigs, plus several large wild boars hunted back by Lu Yuan and his men, took three days.
Each household received a considerable amount of meat. In previous years, it was divided into two portions, but this year it was sold by weight, with the smallest portion being one pound.

Time quietly slipped into 1976!
