President Cheng said, "Isn't it? Because when I went to promote pork last year, a factory used pork instead of New Year's goods. This year, the reputation of our pig farm has spread, and those factories that rejected me last year have come to place orders. Now except for our pig farm, pork is still hard to find in other places, so the workers are happy to use pork as New Year's goods." Although their pig farm delivers pork to supply and marketing cooperatives in various places, it must be said that since their pig farm has a limited number of piglets and can only deliver a limited amount, pork is still in short supply in the county.

President Cheng is very knowledgeable about what he does. He will not raise a lot of pigs just because pork is in short supply. He has set the number of piglets each time, raising 300 piglets in each batch. If they raise too many piglets, they will be too busy. If something happens, it will be serious, so they raise 300 piglets in each batch. For other large pig farms, 300 pigs is not a problem at all, but in this county, it is a big pig farmer.

You should know that the pig farm can earn more than 100,000 yuan every year from these piglets, so the Sunshine Commune is now really developing towards prosperity. As for the teachers of the blindness-eliminating classes, they are all hired by the commune, and the rewards for the blindness-eliminating classes are also paid by the commune. President Cheng doesn't feel bad at all. To put it bluntly, the commune's money is not President Cheng's. If President Cheng retires or is transferred one day, he can't take the money away. Why wouldn't he be willing to use the commune's money to build a good reputation for himself? He is very willing.

Lin Yiyi packed her things and went to the pig farm with accounting assistant Xiao Jin.

Although the pig farm is in the town, it is in the most remote place near the mountain. After all, no matter how clean the pig farm is, it still has a smell. If it is too close to the town, it will disturb the local people.

It takes half an hour to walk from the town. Lin Yiyi felt a little regretful that she should have ridden her bike by herself.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the pig farm, and Lin Yiyi met acquaintances, Dr. Lin and the butcher. The butcher used to be a butcher, and because he had castrated the Lin family's pigs, he was hired to castrate pigs at the pig farm. For this, the butcher was very grateful to Dr. Lin and the Lin family. If Lin Yiyi had concealed something about this matter, the butcher would not have had this opportunity. So he kept the specific steps of raising pigs a secret. First, the pig farm had regulations. If this matter was spread out, they would call the police and he would go to jail. Second, the Lin family had done him a favor, and he was a grateful person.

Doctor Lin also saw Lin Yiyi and said, "Yiyi, you are here. How are you?

Are you feeling better?" In Dr. Lin's eyes, Lin Yiyi was like a niece.

Lin Yiyi: "Thank you, Dr. Lin, for reminding me, otherwise I wouldn't have known I was pregnant." It would take at least a few days until my period didn't come before I would find out.

Doctor Lin smiled and waved his hands: "It was just a coincidence that you came to me because you caught a cold, so I knew. Are you better now?"

Lin Yiyi: "Okay, otherwise I wouldn't dare come to work, for fear of infecting others."

Dr. Lin: “You have considered this very carefully.”

The butcher also greeted Lin Yiyi: "Assistant Lin, I haven't had the chance to thank you before, and I finally met you today."

Lin Yiyi: "No, that's not true. When Dajun worked here before, he said that you took good care of him. I haven't thanked you yet." This is true.

The butcher laughed: "It's nothing."

Lin Yiyi and Xiao Jin were separated into two checkpoints. Xiao Jin registered and counted money inside the pig farm, while Lin Yiyi was at the entrance of the pig farm. This arrangement was also made in consideration of her pregnancy. If she entered the pig farm while pregnant, it would be bad if the piglets were too active and bumped into her. Domestic pigs are a subspecies of wild boars that were domesticated by humans. Their tusks are shorter than those of wild boars. Pigs are lazy and docile by nature, and the probability of them biting people is low.

However, boars are fierce and aggressive, and can easily hurt people. When a boar is frightened by a stranger, or is whipped or kicked, it will react with stress, resist and retaliate, and then hurt or bite people. They sell boars and some castrated sows, because most sows are kept for giving birth.

Lin Yiyi sat outside the pig farm, checking Xiao Jin inside and the receipts calculated by the pig farm. By checking the two checkpoints together, the probability of error is lower.

Each unit's pigs were pulled by carts and taken directly to the meat processing plant for slaughter. After the pigs were slaughtered, each piece of meat was cut into kilograms and then transported to the unit. The amount of pork distributed by the unit to each person was based on the amount of New Year's goods in the past, but this time it was replaced by meat. In the past, they could receive New Year's goods worth four yuan, but this time they could receive five kilograms of pork; in the past, they could receive New Year's goods worth eight yuan, but this time they could receive ten kilograms of pork. So for the unit, it was the same amount of money, there was no difference. For the workers, those canned foods and the like were not as practical as pork. Even though the pig farm had no shortage of meat, it was still a pig farm. The people in their county town or other communes still lacked meat.

However, pork from the supply and marketing cooperatives and the meat processing plants is no longer unavailable as it used to be, because the pig farms in Yangguang Commune are closed.

Will provide supply from time to time.

As noon approached, fewer companies came to buy pigs, because if they bought pigs at this time, they would have to transport them to the meat processing plant for slaughter, which was too late. Lin Yiyi was thinking about whether to eat in the commune canteen or at the pig farm. The pig farm also had a canteen, but it was naturally small, and everyone ate together.

"all……"

Just when Lin Yiyi was thinking about where to eat, she heard a familiar voice. She looked over and said, "Mom, why are you here?"

Qin Xiangju was still panting, and Lin Yiyi could see the hot air she exhaled, but she seemed to be in a good mood. She said, "I came to bring you food. I thought you might not be used to the food in the commune, so I brought it to you. After arriving at the commune, your father told you to go to the pig farm, so I came to the pig farm." Fortunately, she was afraid that her daughter-in-law would be hungry, so she went early, otherwise it would be too late to go to the pig farm. But she walked fast, and it took others half an hour to walk, but she could shorten the time by half.

Lin Yiyi was really touched by Qin Xiangju. From the time she got married until now, her mother-in-law had never embarrassed her. In front of her, Qin Xiangju was more like a mother than a mother-in-law.

She quickly asked Qin Xiangju to sit down: "Mom, please sit down and rest for a while. Have you had lunch?"

Qin Xiangju: "I ate, I ate." She had indeed eaten before coming back. She ate early and knew that it would be late if she came back and forth, so she ate early.

Lin Yiyi: “Did you really eat it?” She was afraid that her mother-in-law would come here hungry, which would be a sin for her.

Qin Xiangju smiled and said, "If I really eat, how can I still be hungry? Eat quickly, or the food will get cold and won't taste good. I brought you some bone soup."

Lin Yiyi: "Okay, OK." She looked at her watch and said, "It's still three minutes before lunch time. I'll wait a little longer."

Qin Xiangju: "Yes, yes, yes, then you can only eat during lunch time. By the way, why are you here?" Doesn't my daughter-in-law work in the commune?

Lin Yiyi said: "It's like this, the accountant of our commune...that's why I came here." She explained the situation.

Qin Xiangju couldn't help but envy him when she heard this: "Oh, these companies are really good, they give out meat as New Year's gifts, so everyone doesn't have to worry about meat anymore."

Lin Yiyi: "That's right, but unfortunately the Chinese New Year is still a few days away, and the meat may not be kept until the first month of the year."

Qin Xiangju: "It's nothing, just pickle it with salt."

Lin Yiyi thought about it and agreed. Fresh meat is good, but pickled meat is also good.

At lunch time, Xiao Jin

came over: "Assistant Lin, everyone is calling you to go to the cafeteria to eat together." Xiao Jin had been here for a few days and was very familiar with the cafeteria here.

Lin Yiyi said, "I won't go. My mother-in-law brought me food. You guys go ahead. Thank you, Assistant Jin."

Xiao Jin: "You're welcome. I'll tell them. I'm going to have dinner."

Lin Yiyi: “Okay.”

Although it is winter now, it is noon now and it is still quite warm to eat outside in the sun.

Qin Xiangju: "Dashi's wedding has been decided. It will be on the eighth day of the second lunar month after the Chinese New Year."

Lin Yiyi: "Isn't that the busy farming season?"

Qin Xiangju: "That's right, your Aunt Xiaochun is smart. During the busy farming season, fewer people come to the wedding, so a lot of food and food can be saved." Although everyone will bring food and give favors, everyone is smart, and they will definitely eat more than they give.

Lin Yiyi said, "Life is just like this." Whether in this era or in the future, for ordinary people, life is indeed very cost-effective. After all, no matter in that era, there are still more ordinary people.

In a blink of an eye, the commune also reached the time for the New Year holiday. This year, the commune's New Year goods were also pork. In addition to pork, there were also canned food and cloth. These were all exchanged by the commune with the canning factory and the cloth factory. The people in the commune were not as many as the canning factory and the cloth factory. Those were factories with hundreds of people. The commune, including the pig farm, had only a few dozen people, so they had no worries about lack of New Year goods. In addition, they made more than 100,000 yuan a year, so President Cheng was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and of course he was generous.

When Xiao Yu came to pick up Lin Yiyi after get off work, he saw her standing at the entrance of the commune with a lot of bags. Xiao Yu hurried over and asked, "Why are you waiting here? What if the cold wind blows in?"

Lin Yiyi said, "I'm hot. I was in Dad's guard room just now. I came out when I saw you coming." Today is the last day. Xiao Daqiang will go back later than others because he has to check the commune. "What did your Public Security Bureau issue?"

Xiao Yu: "I'm going to give you a ride today. I didn't bring anything back, so I'll get it tomorrow. What did you give out? It's not pork, is it?" The story of the county factory giving out pork for the New Year has been reported to the Public Security Bureau, so Xiao Yu joked. The Public Security Bureau is very busy at the end of the year, and they have a holiday two days later than the commune.

Lin Yiyi chuckled: "Yes, they gave us ten pounds of pork, six cans of fruit, and cloth. The cloth is enough to make a set of clothes."

Xiao Yu: "Everyone says Sunshine Commune

If you have money, a job in a commune is more popular than a job in a state-owned factory."

Lin Yiyi: "That's also the result of our hard work." As she said that, she got on the bike, holding Xiao Yu's clothes around his waist with her hand.

Xiao-Woo: "Really? So, you like this job?"

Lin Yiyi thought about it. Like it? No, for her, work is just a way to kill time and enrich her life. There is no such thing as like or dislike. But no matter what kind of work it is, if she does it, she will definitely work hard and will never be perfunctory.

Xiao Yu: "What?"

Lin Yiyi: "No, this job makes my life very meaningful, which is different from when I was writing articles. When I was writing articles, I only had such a small circle and was trapped in it. Working in the commune allows me to meet different people, understand many people's attitudes towards life, and also makes my time more enriched."

Xiao Yu: "If I ask you to quit this job, will you be sad?"

Lin Yiyi replied: "No, it's just a change of attitude towards life. Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Do you want me to quit? Are you worried that I will be too tired to work while pregnant?"

Xiao Yu said: "Not entirely, there is another reason, it has something to do with me."

Lin Yiyi: “Ah?”

Xiao Yu: "You know I'm a soldier. I transferred to the County Public Security Bureau in August 1960."

Lin Yiyi: “Yes.”

Xiao Yu: "Actually, I am not a transferred civilian. I came to the County Public Security Bureau with a mission to investigate the spies lurking here. Now the mission has ended. Probably in February or March next year, the report on my resumption of employment will be issued. By then, are you willing to quit your job and follow me in the army?"

Lin Yiyi: "..." This news was too shocking. It was not written in the original plot, and she had never known about it. "Of course I agree." She was sure that wherever her brother Yu went, she would go there too. Besides, the army was the safest place during the ten years of turmoil. No one would go to such a reckless place. How could she not be willing to go?

Xiao Yu heard the excitement in his words and breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, there are still many wives of soldiers in the army who are unwilling to follow the army. Hearing that his wife is willing, he was really relieved: "No one at home knows about this. Don't tell them for now. Wait until the report comes in next year. It's up to you to arrange your work there. You can resign in advance or resign when the time comes."

Lin Yiyi: "Well, okay, but even if I resign, it will be next year. It's vacation now, and there's no place to resign. Tell me what the army is like, and what your rank is now..." When she got excited, she would subconsciously hold him tightly.

Xiao Yu said: "My starting point is higher than others. I joined the army after graduating from military school, so at the beginning, I was at the level of company commander, but my department is different from that of ordinary soldiers..." Xiao Yu avoided the main point while introducing the situation of the army.
