Chapter 163 Waste Utilization

The secretary was still pondering, but the team leader's eyes were already shining.

Who doesn't want to eat pork?

Who doesn't want to make more money?

The wages of other teams were only more than 20 cents, but their team was proud of 30 cents.

Now other teams are 30 cents, but they are proud of being close to 40 cents.

This year, the infirmary and the incense factory are making money, and with the water turbine pump, the wages may go up by a dollar next year!

Going up by a dollar, this is a good thing that I dare not even think about!

If we raise pigs again, hahahaha...

With the water turbine pump, it will be easy to water the land in the future, and the grain production will increase, so there will be more vacant land to plant sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes are pig feed!

Then won't the wages of the team go up by a dollar in the future?

Hahahaha…

The team leader slapped his thigh and laughed, “Raising pigs, raising pigs well, I support raising pigs.”

Huang Shaoye looked at them, then at Lin Shu, “If you open a farm, you have to train a veterinarian yourself. It’s not enough to rely solely on the veterinarian in the commune.”

The commune has a veterinarian, who mainly helps the brigades to treat livestock diseases and pig diseases.

But there is only one veterinarian, and he runs all over the commune and can’t handle it.

If you raise a lot of pigs at home, there may be problems every now and then, so you have to train a veterinarian yourself.

The secretary relit the fire and took two puffs, “If you let the barefoot doctor…”

Lin Shu hurriedly said: “Secretary, my father is too busy to treat people’s illnesses.”

How can he treat pigs!

The captain said, "Isn't Zhang Peijin free? Let him learn veterinary medicine, he will learn faster than finding another newcomer."

The secretary said, "He is a barefoot doctor."

Zhang Peijin is now equivalent to Lu Lao's assistant. The two work well together. Lu Lao often praises him and gives him advice. He also said that Zhang Peijin should go to the county hospital for training.

If Zhang Peijin is allowed to learn veterinary medicine, then Lu Lao will be even busier. An old man may not be able to handle it. It would be bad if he gets sick from exhaustion.

The captain said again, "Then we still have Lu Ping. Let him learn barefoot doctor from grandpa and help out."

Although Lu Ping is only thirteen years old, his family is tall and looks like fifteen or sixteen years old. He is also steady and the captain thought of him immediately.

The main reason is that Lu Ping has been helping with the accounting in the brigade recently, except for going to school. The brigade leader has forgotten that he is a child and a student, and has the illusion that he is a brigade employee who can be used at will.

Lin Shu reminded him: "Captain, Lu Ping is very tired from doing the accounting now."

The brigade leader was in a dilemma. Who should he find?

The main reason is that he and the boys in the branch secretary's family have basically been arranged. One of the branch secretary's family is in a perfume factory, and the other in his family is learning electrician. He can't arrange all the good things for his family members, and there must be people working in the fields at home.

Lin Shu suggested: "Let Lu Changfu try to learn veterinary medicine, and let Zhao Meifeng and Lu Shaocai raise pigs together."

She saw that people like Zhao Meifeng and Lu Changfu could not be idle. If they were idle, they would easily cause trouble. They had to find a job to do and put a tight rein on them.

The pig farm needed a veterinarian and two people to feed the pigs, raise the pigs, and clean the pig pens. Let Lu Shaocai, Zhao Meifeng, and Lu Changfu do it.

It would save them from sitting at home and thinking about bad things.

Now they seemed honest, but Lin Shu was worried that they would cause trouble when they were idle.

Of course, they didn't dare to do anything to the Lu family. She was mainly thinking about Lu's father.

As they grow older, Father Lu and Fang Dihua will become more and more nostalgic and reminisce about the past. Although Father Lu and Uncle Lu are from different mothers and have not lived together for a long time, Father Lu respects this elder brother very much, especially after the death of his grandfather. He treats his elder brother like a father.

Therefore, he is particularly tolerant of his nephew Lu Shaocai.

Otherwise, he would not have given the accounting job to Lu Shaocai, and would not have cleaned up his mess and helped him with the accounting.

Although Father Lu does not care about Lu Shaocai on the surface, he does not look good when Lu Shaocai complains and cries at home, and sells his house miserably without anyone to take care of him.

This is not considered a benefit to Lu Shaocai's family. On the surface, they are given jobs and are doing good for them, but in reality, they are conducting labor reform on them and putting a tight ring on them to supervise them.

Think about it, if the brigade opened a pig farm, wouldn't the brigade cadres have to go there to inspect three times a day?

If the pig feeder is lazy, the pigs will be thin and the pig pens will be dirty. What can the brigade cadres do?

As for being afraid that they will steal pig feed or harm pigs, they are not afraid at all. If they don't raise pigs well, their work points will be deducted. If they cause the death of pigs by negligence, their work points will be deducted even more, and they may even be asked to pay money.

Moreover, the pig farm is located in Houtun, not Lujiazhuang, and the people in Houtun have little relationship with Lu Shaocai, so they will just keep an eye on them.

The pig farm can be considered a joint venture between the brigade and Houtun, and both parties will benefit.

Huang Shaoye looked at Lin Shu in amazement. He really didn't expect Lin Shu to have such a brain and insight. He originally thought that Lin Shu was amazing for her delicious cooking, but he didn't expect that she also had the talent of an official.

The branch secretary and the brigade leader were even happier. Lin Shu planned it clearly, and they only needed to execute it.

Look, don't offend this young wife, otherwise she will sell you out and you will have to count the money for her.

She let Lu Changfu learn veterinary medicine and let Zhao Meifeng raise pigs. Even if Lu Shaocai's family was not grateful, the members thought it was a good thing. If Lu Shaocai's family was not grateful, they would be ungrateful. If Lu

Shaocai's family did not raise pigs well, they would be sorry for Lin Shu's meddling!

Once this tight spell was put on, Lu Shaocai's family would be controlled. Not only would they be too busy to do anything, but they could also be reformed through labor, so that they would not have to work in the fields all day and eat idle meals at home.

This was also a way to make use of waste.

The branch secretary and the team leader were really happy.

In addition, Lin Shu also made plans for raising angora rabbits.

This is simple. There is no need for the brigade to raise them collectively. All you need to do is get breeding rabbits and then sell the young rabbits to the members to raise as a family unit.

Angora rabbits have strong reproductive capacity and can survive mainly on grass, vegetables, and pumpkins. When they are pregnant and giving birth to rabbits, you can add some bean cakes, bran, etc. to increase nutrition. It can be said that they do not consume much food throughout the year.

Adults don't even need to spend any energy, just let the children mow the grass and dig wild vegetables to raise them.

Raising rabbits is almost as worry-free as raising chickens and ducks. Chickens and ducks

can lay eggs for money, rabbits can give birth to baby rabbits to sell, and you can cut the rabbit hair and sell it, or even process the rabbit hair yourself and use a spinning wheel to spin it into wool, which is even more profitable.

The secretary and the team leader were so excited when they heard

this. There is such a good thing?

They both felt like they were dreaming. Since Shaotang's wife stopped hiding at home and sulking, the whole team has benefited from it!

After discussing it, they asked Huang Shaoye to help contact the female rabbits and breeding rabbits of Angora rabbits.

They were not in a hurry. They did not need to buy too many rabbits. They only needed to buy a few female rabbits and two male rabbits to give birth to their own pups. Rabbits could give birth to several litters a year anyway, and each litter could have seven, eight or ten rabbits.

In a year, almost everyone in the village could raise rabbits.

If families raised rabbits as a unit, they would not need to build additional fences for raising rabbits, nor would they need to send special people to raise rabbits. This would save trouble and labor and increase the income of the members.

The team leader had a question: "Can the higher authorities approve us applying for so many side jobs at once?"

Side jobs such as weaving baskets and mats did not require application, but incense factories and farms did.

Lin Shu: "Pig farms need approval, but rabbit farming doesn't need approval. We just buy a few rabbits, what's the point of approval? As for the rabbits giving birth, if everyone is willing to raise them, that's just a surprise."

Just like raising chickens, although the higher-ups say that capitalist economy is not allowed and each family cannot raise more than half of the population, but unless the brigade cadres lead people to check every household, how can outsiders know how many chickens you raise?

Not to mention the county, even if the people from the commune come to stake out, they won't know.

Chickens and ducks are all raised freely, and they look the same. No one except the owner can tell which one belongs to which family. When the time comes, it will be meaningless to ask "Whose chicken is this and whose chicken is that?"

The same is true for rabbits.

In fact, as long as the brigade does not take the lead in causing trouble, the people above will turn a blind eye.

There are only a dozen cadres in the commune, and there are more than a dozen brigades in the commune. How can he count them?

If it can be broken down into small pieces, then don't even think about finding out. After all, chickens, ducks, rabbits, and large livestock such as pigs, cows, and sheep are different.

The branch secretary knocked off the ash of his cigarette and said, "That's the logic. Let's do it this way. I'll go to the commune and apply for a pig farm. The team leader will go and talk to the production team leader of Houtun. Comrade Lin Shu will explain to Lu Shaocai and his family."

He added, "If they don't listen, I'll talk to them later."

Lin Shu smiled and said, "They will listen."

Lu Shaocai is so bored at home that he will definitely take the step if there is a chance.

Huang Shaoye: "Then the branch secretary and I will go to the commune together and call the Angora rabbit breeding base to buy breeding rabbits."

Since they are raising rabbits, all the land in the village, even the riverside and the corners of the yard walls, are precious. They can be used to grow vegetables and sow grass seeds. They are all food for the rabbits.

All these were arranged by the team leader, and Lin Shu went home after the discussion.

After the two large stone mills on the east side of the house were lifted to the water turbine pump station, the east side of the yard became much emptier.

Lin Shu walked to the wall and called out directly, "Sister-in-law?"

Zhao Meifeng heard it in the house and immediately responded, "Third sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Lu Shaocai, who was leaning on the kang smoking, glared at her and said unhappily, "Are you a lapdog? You answer her every time she calls you?"

Zhao Meifeng: "Anyway, it doesn't hurt me if she calls me, why shouldn't I answer?"

Zhao Meifeng ran to the yard, stepped on a broken jar at the wall and looked around. The head asked: "Third sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Lin Shu: "The brigade is going to open a pig farm."

Zhao Meifeng: "It sounds like a good thing. In the future, can our brigade kill pigs and sell meat?"

Zhao Meifeng and Lin Shu had no fundamental conflict of interest. At most, she could summon the original owner's things in the past, but Lin Shu later took them back. She was angry for a while, but then she realized that she had no right to take Lin Shu, so she let it go. Moreover,

after Lin Shu took back the things she had taken back, she did not continue to plot against her, so she naturally did not have a deeper resentment. The most important thing is that they are two families, each with a father-in-law and a mother-in-law. Zhao Meifeng's biggest conflict opponent is her second mother-in-law, and she hates her second mother-in-law the most, so naturally she will not spend her energy on opposing Lin Shu.

On the contrary, she is on good terms with Lin Shu on a daily basis.

Love is where the money is, and hatred goes wherever the money goes.

Lin Shu: "The brigade is opening a pig farm, and they are in need of a veterinarian and someone to feed the pigs and clean the pigsty. Although cleaning the pigsty is tiring, it is better than working hard in the fields, right? Besides, the brigade gives work points, so as long as you don't mess around and make the pigs sick, there will be no problem."

Zhao Meifeng started to think when she heard this, "Sister-in-law, do you think I can be a veterinarian?"

Lin Shu: "..."

You really dote on your son, Lu Changfu is so old and he still doesn't work?

She said, "Isn't Changfu at home? I think he's strong and big, so he's a good veterinarian."

Lu Changfu also went to work, but he was the same style as Lu Shaocai and Lu Dage, both of them were a bit lazy.

However, although Lu Dage wanted to be lazy, because Fang Dihua was supervising him, he could get full work points, but he just took advantage of his second brother in extra work.

Such lazy people should be assigned extra work and put in a cage to work hard!

When Zhao Meifeng heard this, she was so happy that she could hardly believe it, "Third sister-in-law, let Changfu be a veterinarian? Really? Did you help to put it together?"

Lin Shu said lightly, "Sister-in-law, I didn't help to put it together. It was the secretary and the team leader who said that Changfu was a big and strong man who was not active in work and was idle all day long. They were afraid that he would be led astray and do bad things."

Zhao Meifeng mentioned the previous incident between Lu Changfu and the bald thief. If the bald thief had not been caught, Lu Changfu might have followed suit and become a thief and stolen things and was arrested for labor reform.

Zhao Meifeng heard it and said with a bit of embarrassment, "Your nephew has been very honest recently. He goes to work every day to earn work points, and stays at home quietly. He doesn't go anywhere."

Zhao Meifeng and Lu Shaocai have really cursed and scolded him these days, but unfortunately their request to arrange a job for Lu Changfu in the county town or the commune has been in vain because they can't get any benefits by using Uncle Lu's name.

He is not a fool!

Even if your father was a high-ranking military officer in the capital, he has retired and he has not arranged any connections here to take care of you, right?

He has so many people under him, and some of them have transferred to the county committee. It is possible to arrange a job for Lu Changfu.

However, not only did they not make any phone calls to arrange it, but the county also received a call, saying that they should serve the people and not seek special treatment. No matter whether it is the sons and grandsons of the first wife or the people of the second wife, they cannot act in the name of the old man.

They do not recognize any behavior of taking advantage of the situation.

The second wife did not take advantage of the situation, but the sons and grandsons and daughters-in-law of the first wife did.

Because of that phone call, Lu Changfu's way was completely blocked.

Zhao Meifeng was furious when she thought about it. At that time, she took Lu Changfu to the county and found someone. The person was willing to arrange a job for Changfu. As a result, because of this phone call, the person changed his mind and said that he could not make any mistakes.

Think about it, she was a nanny in the capital, and Lu Shaocai was a "young master" in the military compound. Why did they send him back to his hometown and ignore him? It

turned out that the vixen not only occupied the old man, but also occupied all the old man's family business and connections.

It can only pave the way for her son and daughter, her brothers from her mother's side, nephews and nieces, but not for the sons and grandchildren of the original wife!

Zhao Meifeng hated her stepmother-in-law, so Lin Shu became a good person in her eyes.

Now Lin Shu was willing to arrange jobs for her and her son as pig farmers and veterinarians, and she was a little grateful.

The sense of superiority she had when she came from the capital had long been shattered by the infinite glory of Lu Shaotang's return and Lin Shu's continuous praise.

Lin Shu made an agreement with her to let her and Lu Changfu go back to the brigade headquarters to listen to the arrangements of the branch secretary and the brigade leader. She would not take care of it, and they should not look for her if they had any problems

. After all, Lin Shu's starting point was not for the good of Zhao Meifeng and Lu Changfu, but to carry out "labor reform" for them in disguise. It was better to keep them busy with work than to stay at home and guess.

They live next door to my house. My family is busy and eats meat all day long, while they are idle every day, growing maggots and making fire. Who knows if they are potentially dangerous?

It was almost noon, and Lin Shu went back to the main room to prepare to cook.

The pickled cabbage for making pickled fish that she had dried and pickled herself was almost done. One of the two big black fish that Lin Yue gave them was eaten before Lu Shaotang and Chen Yanming left, and the remaining one was used to make a pot of pickled fish today.

There are now many small fish in the small pond, all caught by the children.

Recently, they have been obsessed with catching fish with a sieve, and they even asked Uncle Jie to make a fish basket for them.

Hou Bo and Lu An are now responsible for taking them to the fields to help with work for half a day, and then go fishing for another half a day.

So a lot of small fish were raised in the small lotus pond at home. Every

day, a small fish turned upside down, and Lin Shu would catch them and feed the chickens and ducks. Song Youping came out of the incense-making room. Day after day, she was so tired of Fang Dihua that she didn't want to come home every time, but Song Bangyou encouraged her to persist.

She smiled at Lin Shu and said, "Sister-in-law, you are so leisurely."

Lin Shu glanced at her and said, "It's hard for Secretary Song to stay on the spot."

She caught the big black fish with a colander and pressed it to the water platform to kill the fish.

To kill a fish, you always have to be a little ruthless. She knocked the fish's head, cut open its belly, and scraped the fish's scales. Lin Shu's movements were very quick and smooth.

Song Youping frowned a little. She didn't expect that Lin Shu looked cute and smiling, but she was actually so cruel and ruthless. She didn't even blink when she killed the fish.

Doesn't she have any compassion?

Song Youping thinks she is very soft-hearted and kind. She can't bear to kill chickens and fish every time.

If Lin Shu knew her thoughts, she would laugh to death. In her previous life, she lived in the countryside with her grandmother for a while. Even if she was not in a good mood, she still had to do things. Her grandmother was old. If she couldn't learn to take care of herself, would she be left alone when her grandmother was old?

She only looked weak, but her actual character was very tough and she never regarded herself as a weak person.

It was just killing a fish. If her life was in danger, she would dare to kill people.

Lin Shu quickly sliced ​​the fish in half, removed the gills and other unwanted parts, and then began to wash the fish skin and meat and began to fillet the fish. Song

Youping stood in the upwind direction, wrinkled her nose, and fanned the air, "Sister-in-law, this fish is really pitiful. It has finally grown so big, but it was killed and eaten by someone."

Lin Shu raised her head and glanced at her, "What's wrong with you? Did you grow so big by drinking wind?"

Lin Shu didn't respond.

Song Youping suddenly started to show off the little Buddhist scriptures she knew, such as killing and eating vegetarian food.

Without even looking up, Lin Shu said calmly, "Song, are you a party member?"

Song Youping said proudly, "Although I'm not one yet, I've already submitted my application to join the party, and I'll soon be a glorious party member."

She felt proud when she said this. Although Lin Shu had a respectable husband who looked handsome, leisurely, and lived a good life, she couldn't compare with herself in terms of career.

She was a party member and a commune cadre.
