There are still ten days before the Chinese New Year. Two-thirds of the pigs in the pig farm have been reserved by the town and the food factory and will be delivered in two days. The remaining one-third will be sold in batches after the Chinese New Year.
Xu Zhengrong was so excited that he couldn't sleep the whole night, and then something really happened that kept him awake.
Wang Xu was still at home making breakfast for Gu Xi, and he ran over breathlessly: "Wang Xu, there's an accident at the pig farm, come with me quickly, the village chief has already rushed over."
Gu Xi heard the noise and came out of the house: "What happened at the pig farm?"
Xiang Qian was sweating profusely in the middle of winter, not only because of the heat but also because of the anxiety: "Many pigs have diarrhea and their appetite has decreased. We have urgently called a veterinarian, but the matter still needs to be investigated."
Wang Xu immediately put on his coat and rushed to the pig farm. Gu Xi went to the kitchen and saw that the buns made by Wang Xu were still on the stove. After washing up, she called Tian Congbao: "Hurry up and wash up, don't be late. There is something going on at the pig farm. Your elder brother has gone to the pig farm first."
Tian Congbao got up in a daze, washed and changed his clothes. Gu Xi was putting buns in a lunch box, and then wrapped the lunch box with a piece of cloth and finally put it in a bag.
Turning around, I saw that Tian Congbao had already washed up: "Get some buns from the pot. I've filled the milk powder for you and it's already warm. I'm going to give some buns to Wang Xu. He left in such a hurry that he didn't even have breakfast. Take your schoolbag and stationery, don't forget to bring them."
Tian Congbao held a bun in one hand and a glass of milk in the other: "I know, I can handle it myself, you guys go and do your own things. I'll go to school after I finish eating."
Gu Xi arrived at the pig farm. The pigpen was full of people. Some of them looked serious, while some outside the circle seemed to be gloating.
An aunt and the people around her smiled and said, "I told you, why set up a pig farm? You waste so much food. In the end, the pigs get sick and you have to take care of them. They might die soon. All your energy for the whole year will be wasted."
The aunt next to him also agreed: "Look at how proud the pig farmers are usually. They walk with their heads held high, as if we farmers are inferior. Now look, something has happened. They deserve it."
Gu Xi happened to hear this and was furious: "Are you still talking like a human being? If this pig farm is run well, everyone will benefit in the end. You are so short-sighted and you still have the nerve to gloat over other people's misfortunes. I will remember you two and tell Uncle Xu later."
The aunt who started the conversation recognized Gu Xi immediately: "Gu Zhiqing, we didn't say anything, but the facts are right in front of us. We worked hard to raise him for a year, but in the end he died of illness. Isn't that a year of work in vain?"
Gu Xi stared at the two of them coldly: "You also know how much effort you put into raising them for a year, and how much manpower and material resources you put into it, and yet you are still gloating over the misfortune of something that happened. You are mentally abnormal, and you can't stand seeing others doing well, right?
If you have bad intentions, please get out of here immediately and don’t be an eyesore. Otherwise, I will not be polite to you and I will tell the village chief. You won’t have a good life in the village anymore. "
The two knew that Gu Xi had a good relationship with Xu Zhengrong and Wu Yao, so they didn't dare to offend them, but they still left with an unconvinced look on their faces.
Gu Xi put the things in her hand into the office and went to the pigsty.
Because many pigs had diarrhea, the smell in the pig house was very strong and unpleasant, but no one close to the inside cared about it. All they were worried about was making sure nothing happened to the pigs.
The veterinarian arrived and checked the pig's condition and stool: "This condition doesn't look like a cold or a stomach upset, it looks more like someone gave it a laxative."
Xu Zhengrong couldn't believe his ears: "What did you say? Someone gave him a laxative? How could someone in our village do such a thing?"
The veterinarian had encountered this kind of thing before, and it happened quite a few times: "You can call the police in this case and let them investigate. This is considered intentional damage to collective property. Don't find it unbelievable. I have encountered it quite a few times. It's mainly due to short-sightedness and strong jealousy.
The police found out from previous cases that these bad things were done by villagers or familiar relatives who usually did not make any noise. "
Wang Xu interrupted their conversation: "Let's not worry about who did it for now. We'll settle the score later. The most urgent thing now is whether these pigs can be cured and whether they will die."
The veterinarian looked at Wang Xu apologetically and said, "These pigs are well-fed, so they have a good resistance. It's not a big problem. I'll prescribe some medicine and mix it with their feed. They should be fine tomorrow, but they will definitely be a little lighter. I estimate they will lose five to ten kilograms in the process.
This person was quite ruthless, but he didn't understand the ratio of feeding pigs. The pigs in your village are fed less grass, and he went down in the grass, so he didn't consume much. "
Gu Xi wrote down the information the veterinarian said, which meant that it was not done by the pig farm staff.
The veterinarian was very capable and opened a pharmacy in no time. Many medicinal materials needed to be purchased in the town, so Yin Jie drove a tractor and took the doctor directly to the town. Gu Xi gave Yin Jie fifty yuan to buy pork belly and flour. When he came back, he made some dumplings for the employees as a snack. Everyone was busy since early morning.
Wang Xu handed the rest of the matter to Xiang Qian, turned around and saw Gu Xi, and immediately walked over: "Why are you here? It smells bad here."
Gu Xi held his arm and said, "I saw that you didn't have breakfast, so I brought some buns to you. Who else hasn't had breakfast yet? Let's eat together. I ate one, Congbao ate three, and I brought the rest, which are still warm."
Wang Xu gave Xiang Qian two meat buns and said, "Eat them while they're hot. We can get busy after you finish eating. There's no rush for things to happen."
Xu Zhengrong didn't have breakfast either. Gu Xi called him to the office, but when he found out that he had been drugged, he became sick and looked sad. He couldn't even eat his favorite meat buns.
Gu Xi sighed, "Uncle Xu, call the police. This behavior is too bad, and everyone knows about it. If we don't deal with it and don't let the person who drugged her get the punishment they deserve, someone will continue to do it in the future. Don't think you can sleep peacefully. You can't guard against thieves for a thousand days."
Xu Zhengrong nodded: "I never thought that I would work hard for a year to build this pig farm for the development of the village, but someone would drug me. These are all acquaintances in this village, and some are even relatives. I feel chilled now. I want to see which beast did such a thing."
Wang Xu, on the other hand, seemed particularly calm: "Fortunately the pigs are fine. People's hearts are vulnerable to being beaten. Seeing that the pig farm is doing well and will surely make a lot of money, I drugged them.
Not to mention how much we have invested, just the amount of manpower and resources spent on raising the fish every day cannot be measured by money. "
Gu Xi thought for a moment and said, "We should set up a security booth and register everyone in and out. This will prevent many unfamiliar people from coming in. The same goes for the school, just in case. Also, when cooking in the cafeteria every day, we need two people to supervise each other to prevent any problems."
