In fact, at the beginning, team leader Fan Ming asked Huang Yuelan to be a pig farmer just to take care of her family's situation, and he didn't have much hope that she could raise pigs well.
His requirements for Huang Yuelan as a pig farmer were not high, just that she should not kill the pigs.
If the pigs die, letting her work as a pig farmer again next year will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many villagers.
Who would have thought that things would be so unexpected. Huang Yuelan not only did not kill the pigs, but also made them very fat.
The pig feed distributed above is fixed and has not changed from before. Why is it that as soon as Huang Yuelan arrived, the pigs' weight keeps increasing as if they had taken weight-gaining drugs?
Is that wild banana tree really so nutritious that it can feed these pigs so well?
At this time, Huang Yuelan was pushing some slop towards the pig farm in a wheelbarrow. Her eldest son was pulling the rope hard in front to help Huang Yuelan reduce some of the burden.
Seeing this scene, the team leader hurried over to help and took the rope from Wang Aiguo's hand.
"The captain is here!" Huang Yuelan knew that the captain must be here to inspect the pig farm, but Huang Yuelan was not afraid. After all, the pigs had become fat and he would definitely not be criticized.
Team leader Fan Ming: "Well, I, the supervisor, came by to see how your pigs are doing. I didn't expect them to be so good! It really exceeded my expectations!"
The captain was definitely stronger than the child, so Huang Yuelan found it much easier to push.
"Is this what you usually rely on to feed the pigs?" the captain asked curiously. He took a look and saw that it was just some hot pot water and some leftover rice, something that a child accidentally dropped on the ground. It didn't look like anything rare.
Huang Yuelan: "Yes, that's the main thing, mixed with the pig feed distributed from above."
Captain Fan Ming nodded and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that these pigs were raised so fat and strong with this. I thought you gave them some magic medicine."
"There is no panacea. You just have to feed them more frequently. After all, I have a lot of time, and besides taking care of the children, I feed the pigs." Huang Yuelan said with a smile.
Team leader Fan Ming: "I remember this pig wasn't this fat before, but now it looks like it has changed. Why did you put it in a single room?"
Huang Yuelan smiled and said, "Captain, this pig has piglets in its belly, so its belly is surprisingly big and looks fatter than the other pigs. In order to prevent other pigs from snatching food from it, I locked it in a single room."
I was already very surprised just now, but I didn’t expect that there was an even bigger surprise waiting for me.
"You said this sow is pregnant?" the captain asked in disbelief.
Huang Yuelan nodded, "Yes, Captain, otherwise your belly wouldn't be so big."
The captain then discovered that the pig was particularly fat in the belly, and some ribs could be seen in other places.
Upon learning that the sow was pregnant, the team leader understood why Huang Yuelan placed it in a separate room.
It can be seen that Huang Yuelan is very dedicated in raising pigs, and not only that, she also has her own methods.
Others may not know what these pigs looked like before, but as the captain, he knows it very well. The last time he came to see them, each one looked like tortured prisoners of war, with not much meat on their bodies.
Although she warned the pig farmer many times, it was of no avail. The pig farmer said it was caused by lack of pig feed and there was nothing she could do.
"Yuelan, you've done a good job raising the pigs! You deserve praise! After these piglets are born, I will report to the commune, and the president will definitely praise you." Team leader Fan Ming said.
In addition to selecting advanced production team leaders and advanced members every year, the commune also has some other rewards, such as pig-raising experts, etc.
At this time, it was difficult to get the honor of being a pig-raising expert. After all, people were short of food, let alone the pigs.
It is very difficult to fatten pigs. In the past, this title could only be obtained after the pigs gave birth to piglets. There was an incident in their production team before, when eight piglets were born, but they only raised two of them. They were outdone by others and failed to obtain the title of pig-raising expert. It is a pity to think about it now.
Huang Yuelan: "Thank you, Captain."
"You're welcome. You can just focus on feeding the pigs first. If you encounter any difficulties or anyone comes to cause trouble for you, come to me." Team leader Fan Ming knew that many people in the village were still upset about Huang Yuelan being a pig farmer, and they were afraid that someone would cause trouble for them.
Furthermore, when Wang Jianguo was alive, he had looked for the team leader, hoping that the team leader could help take care of his wife and children when he was not at home.
After all, Wang Jianguo is an orphan, and Huang Yuelan is almost the same.
Although Wang Jianguo is no longer with us, the promise he made still needs to be fulfilled.
Besides, isn't he the captain's job to serve the villagers? Especially those villagers who are in particularly difficult situations, he will definitely give them special care.
Just like the low-income households in later generations, the government will give special help to the disadvantaged groups in the village and will not sit idly by.
After Huang Yuelan sent the team leader away, she began to busy herself with feeding the pigs. She cut and chopped the banana trees she had cut down with a knife, then mixed them with other ingredients and cooked them in a pot.
With the captain's affirmation, Huang Yuelan became more motivated.
Although doing something well is not for the purpose of getting praise from others, encouragement can give people courage and make them more motivated.
Because it takes some time for the banana trees to grow, you still need to go to the nearby area to collect some pig grass.
Fortunately, pigs are not picky eaters and are rather rough in this regard.
Unlike rabbits, there are only a few types of grass they like to eat. They won’t eat any that are not liked by them. They won’t eat grass that is wet with dew, as they will have diarrhea if they eat it, and they are likely to die if they have diarrhea.
But this pig is different. It will be fine even if it is touched by dew or even fed with a basin of rotten water.
The previous pig farmer had been working as a pig farmer for several years. She was so angry that her good job was snatched away by Huang Yuelan that she deliberately took all the pig feed with her when she left, without leaving any behind, just to wait and see what Huang Yuelan would do.
After all, everyone knew that she had no experience in raising pigs, and without pig feed, she would lose if a few pigs died.
But after several months, not only did we not hear any news about Huang Yuelan's pigs dying, but we also heard that the pigs in the production team had given birth to piglets.
Just give birth to cubs, but there are actually sixteen in one litter!
She couldn't believe it even if she was beaten to death. The sows she had raised before, which only had ribs but no meat, could actually give birth to sixteen piglets.
"Have you heard? The pigs in our production team gave birth to piglets. Not only that, they gave birth to sixteen piglets at once!"
"Sixteen piglets. I never saw so many piglets in my life."
"Yuelan is really amazing. She gave birth to either two or three children. Who would have thought that after she became a pig farmer in the production team, the pigs in the production team also got her good luck and gave birth to sixteen children in one go."
Before, everyone was worried that Huang Yuelan had no experience in pig-raising and would kill all the pigs in the production team. But now, everyone praised Huang Yuelan for her pig-raising skills.
Ever since the news that a pig in the production team gave birth to sixteen piglets spread, a previous rumor spread like wildfire.
That is Huang Yuelan's ancestral secret recipe for having multiple births. It is said that if people eat it, they can give birth to twins, and if pigs eat it, they can give birth to more than a dozen piglets!
