Good luck will come if you let go
"I have to do all the work even if there is a lot of work. My dad needs to take medicine. My two younger sisters will be in fifth and sixth grade next semester. Their academic performance is also good. I hope I can support them to continue their studies and go to college."
Liu Huabao's image instantly became taller, and the young people admired his courage to take responsibility from the bottom of their hearts.
Jiang Lin was touched and said sincerely: "Xiaobao, don't worry about the subsidy policy and breeding technology. I promise you that as long as you raise them well, you will be able to sell them."
"I believe in the government and I believe in my brothers. So Xiaojie and I decided to raise 200 chickens. After the first batch of chickens are out of the cage, we will expand the scale according to the situation."
Liu Jie said: "My parents are almost 60 years old. The factory doesn't want them because of their age. So they help wash dishes and do odd jobs in restaurants outside." His voice choked up for a while, and then he said: "If Brother Bao is willing to take me with him, I will work hard! Once the chickens are well raised, my parents can go home and raise chickens."
When Lin Xing heard that Liu Huabao and Liu Jie decided to raise chickens, he excitedly shook their shoulders.
Cheng Enyue laughed and said, "If you shake it any more, your head will become yellow and shattered."
Lin Xing released his hand, but still couldn't calm his excitement. He walked back and forth with his hands on his waist and head raised, clapping his hands from time to time and saying excitedly: "Young people raising chickens makes me happier than middle-aged and elderly people raising chickens! This is the emerging force that can attract more young people to return to their hometowns and join the rural revitalization camp in the future!"
Xiang Chuzhe said: "Brother Lin, don't be so proud for now. Brother Xu's family is the only one in our village who decided to raise one."
A basin of cold water was poured on Lin Xing's head, chilling him from head to toe. His smile disappeared instantly, and he asked, "What happened? Everyone was very enthusiastic at the meeting that night. I felt that there were at least a few households with quotas."
Pei Xu hung up the phone: "Chuzhe, you and Brother Lin tell us everyone's ideas in detail, and we will go to the big banyan tree to get fertilizer."
Liu Huabao and Liu Jie immediately stood up and said, "Brother, we will help you move."
Cheng Enyue looked through the refrigerator and said, "Brother Xu, I'm going to the town to buy some cooked food and vegetables so we can all get together tonight."
"There's no need to talk about it here. Tell me in detail while you work."
Xiang Chuzhe put his arm around his shoulder and walked forward together, summarizing everyone's ideas in detail for him.
Song Yifan and Li Xuran searched for the waterproof sheet several times but couldn't find it. They poked their heads out of the utility room and asked, "Brother Xu, where is our waterproof sheet?"
Jiang Lin suddenly remembered something and asked, "What waterproof cloth? What color?"
"The red, blue and white striped tarp. I remember taking it back."
On a sunny day, Jiang Lin and Xiang Chuzhe were tidying up the utility room. Jiang Lin picked up a dirty red, blue and white striped waterproof cloth and said seriously, "Chuzhe, you know, people need to let go of things to have good luck."
She nodded to Chuzhe, agreeing with him, and loaded the tarpaulin onto the dump truck carrying the garbage.
"I threw it away." Jiang Lin said guiltily. Pei Xu had no choice but to spend a huge amount of money to buy another roll of waterproof cloth and taught him that sometimes it would cost money to let go of things.
Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. Lin Xing and the teenagers racked their brains and finally came up with a solution. They gathered together the villagers who raised chicks in scattered areas and persuaded them to jointly raise chicks. They applied for a number of chicks in the name of one household and applied for subsidies after reaching the number. As a result, many villagers who had cost concerns also signed up for joint breeding and signed contracts with the village committee.
There were many white cages on the big green truck, and the chicks were blinking their furry eyes, looking at the village curiously.
The cultivated land was plowed and waiting for irrigation, and then ready to plant rice seedlings. From the foot of the mountain to the top, among the green there were branches of pale yellow mango flowers, and bees shuttled among them, happily collecting honey.
The villagers gathered under the big banyan tree with their home-woven bamboo chicken cages, and Pei Xu distributed chicks to the villagers according to the registered number.
"These chicks don't look special." The villagers squatted and carefully looked at the chicks in the chicken coop that were chirping.
Jiang Lin joked: "The RMB that is in motion will naturally look the same."
The boys gently distributed the chicks one by one, and there were still three hundred in the remaining cages.
Pei Zongli said: "The chicks are still young. I will release them to the mountain after taking care of them for half a month to a month. For the time being, I will keep them all in the old house."
When the chicks arrived at their new home, they huddled together in fear, hugging each other and unwilling to leave the cage.
Zhao Sumei brought over several stainless steel basins filled with finely chopped corn kernels, and water buckets were placed at intervals around them.
"Drive one out, and all the others will follow." Zhao Sumei pushed Pei Zongli aside with disgust and drove the chicks to the cage entrance with her hands.
"Be quiet and gentle, or you'll be scared."
Zhao Sumei looked up and rolled her eyes at him: "It's better not to raise such a timid chicken. It will cry loudly when there is thunder!"
The boys sent the chicks to Liu Huabao and Liu Jie's homes respectively.
Liu Huabao's father, Liu Shilu, limped out to the door with the help of a crutch and greeted them with a bright smile.
Liu Shilu called out, "Come in and have some water first."
Pei Xu said, "Uncle, let's settle the chickens first and then come over to drink water."
Liu Huabao opened the door to the backyard, which turned out to be a vegetable garden. He and Liu Jie pushed a dump truck around to look for discarded bricks. On the still cold February day, they waded into the icy river to sift sand. They then covered the backyard with a layer of sand and some bricks, creating a clean living space for the chickens.
Several people deftly put the chicks into the yard. Liu Huabao brought some dry straw. The chicks stared at them intently, huddled together, looking so cute.
Cheng Enyue handed him a booklet and said, "Xiaobao, this is the farming experience that we brothers have summarized after watching some videos about Xiayan chicken farming, and Brother Xu asked some of his classmates who are engaged in poultry farming. Although the breeds are different, you can refer to the general direction. Xiaojie also has a booklet. If you encounter any problems or difficulties in farming, just tell me."
Liu Huabao wiped his hands with his clothes and held Cheng Enyue's hand tightly.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, "Brother Yue, thank you so much for always answering my questions patiently and giving me a lot of practical advice and help."
Pei Xu and Jiang Lin patted his shoulders and gave him encouragement.
Jiang Lin said, "Don't give me the idea of being weak. You're only 18 years old and you dare to raise more than 200 Xiayan chickens at once." He pointed to the well-maintained garden and said, "You are so careful and hardworking that not everyone can do that. As your brother, I have to learn from you."
Liu Huabao lowered his eyes, unable to hold back any longer. His shoulders shook slightly and tears fell to the ground.
Cheng Enyue pulled him into his arms, his eyes slightly red, and he comforted him in a crying voice: "Hey, what are you doing? Today is a great day for the chicks to arrive at their new home, and it is also the beginning of your breeding business. We should be happy and stop crying."
Liu Shilu leaned against the brick wall with a crutch, his eyes also red.
Pei Xu and Jiang Lin hugged them from behind, "Xiaobao, don't put so much pressure on yourself. We are all newbies. Let's work hard together and move forward."
The setting sun is like a round golden moon cake, emitting a dazzling halo that makes it impossible to look directly at its full picture.
Pei Xu stood in front of the water and fertilizer tank and said to the video call interface in the group: "Have you checked the water pipes?"
"alright."
"Okay! I'll turn on the main switch now. You can follow the water distribution pipe all the way to the drip irrigation pipe in the field and see if there is water coming?"
"good."
Pei Xu nervously turned on the main switch and checked the completeness and feasibility of the system. The practical moment had arrived. If watering could not be carried out smoothly, then he would have to work hard to troubleshoot the problem.
The boys lay down in front of the water pipe, listening carefully to see if there was any sound of water flowing.
One minute, one and a half minutes, time passed by, and the boys became increasingly anxious. Pei Xu asked, "Has any water come over? I'm already delivering water here."
“Crash!”
Finally! The sound of flowing water entered my ears.
Jiang Lin shouted happily: "Pei Xu, I got it!"
One after another, the brothers in the group cheered and shouted, "The water is coming."
Pei Xu ran into the field as quickly as if his feet were greased. The black drip irrigation pipe was fixed on the black ground film, and the water outlet was close to the roots of the dark red rose seedlings and oil tea seedlings.
One drop, two drops, the water from the outlet slowly seeps into the ground.
Pei Xu hugged Jiang Lin excitedly, shouting excitedly: "Young Master Jiang, it's done! The water is coming!"
Jiang Lin subconsciously hugged him back, his hands unconsciously stroking his back, and praised him: "It worked! Dr. Pei, you are the best science student. You successfully installed such a complex system by yourself, saving a lot of technical fees!"
Pei Xu let him go, Jiang Lin's hand stayed suspended in the air for a few seconds, and then he withdrew it as if nothing had happened.
"More than 10,000 yuan for technical fees!" Pei Xu pointed with his fingers, "I also have to pay for the round-trip airfare and accommodation for the technical instructor. This time I saved it, and I also successfully figured out the system. If I go bankrupt, I will apply for employment and travel around the country to help people install systems."
Jiang Lin teased him, holding up three fingers, "Then you have to travel around the country and install more than 300 sets of drip irrigation and fertilizer integration systems to pay me back."
Pei Xu was immersed in the joy of saving money and was patrolling the fields to check whether all the drip irrigation pipes were successfully delivering water.
The fried golden tilapia was turned over, and diced tomatoes were added, followed by cooking wine and seasonings, and then hot water. Jiang Lin kept adding firewood and said with a look of enjoyment, "I haven't tasted fish cooked with tomatoes for a long time. It smells so good!"
Lin Xing, Liu Huabao and Liu Jie gathered together to pick beans. Lin Xing couldn't help but sigh: "When I saw you taking the chicks home today, I suddenly felt that rural revitalization is no longer an empty slogan, and the spark is being ignited."
Liu Jie said with a smile: "Brother Lin, the Internet says that being a civil servant in a township is very hard. People in their twenties look like they are in their thirties. I didn't believe it before, thinking how hard it would be to sit in an office with air conditioning. Now that I see you, I believe it."
"Are you calling me old?" Lin Xing pretended to throw beans at him, and Liu Jie dodged backwards with a smile.
Lin Xing complained: "In my first year here, I really wanted to quit and go to the countryside to do poverty alleviation work. My daily walking steps ranked first among my friends. Some villagers didn't understand our work and didn't cooperate. I talked about their thoughts until my voice became hoarse. Sometimes I applied for poverty alleviation projects for them, such as providing guinea fowl chicks for free. My goodness, they stewed them before they laid eggs. What's the point of raising them!"
