Chapter 359 Li Haoran's Mobilization Meeting 2
The members turned their heads in surprise and looked towards the patch of mulberry trees on the mountain, staring at the leaves on the trees that had turned from green to yellow.
They remembered that every autumn, when those trees had lost all their leaves, the leaves of the mulberry tree would slowly turn yellow after the arrival of early winter.
They also remember that the attractive golden leaves looked particularly beautiful in the sun.
They never knew that mulberry leaves could be eaten by pigs. They remembered that the hairs on the back of the leaves were not fluffy like some other leaves, but hard, so they had never picked them to feed pigs.
If pigs really like to eat, they would really be begging for food even if they have a mountain of gold. How stupid!
They remembered that a large area of mountains was full of these trees. If they had known this earlier, they would have started raising pigs earlier.
I can’t think about it. The more I think about it, the more I want to cry.
The new secretary also wanted to cry. When he was the team leader, he racked his brains every day to change the poverty of the village. He didn't know that the solution was on the mountain. With so many leaves, he could raise at least a dozen pigs! How can I increase my income a little?
Li Haoran waited for everyone to turn their eyes away from the mulberry trees, and then picked up the kudzu root on the table. He asked, "Does anyone recognize this?"
"Everyone knows about Pueraria root, but the weather was dry in those years and even the seeds of Pueraria root were eaten up."
"This one is good. It grows fast and can be eaten by pigs and humans. The only problem is that it doesn't have seeds."
"Captain, where did you find the seeds? Get more and plant them on the hillside, and you won't have to worry about raising pigs."
"Yes, next year we will have kudzu leaves, sweet potato leaves, and the elm leaves on that mountain. If we also get some pig grass, we will be able to raise pigs."
"If you really raise them like this, then it's not like they won't eat much food."
"If I had known this before, my grandfather wouldn't have starved to death, woo woo."
"Captain Li, why didn't you come to our village earlier?"
"This is really great. Our village will be out of poverty and will no longer be the poorest brigade in the commune."
"That's right, it will be easier for our baby to find a wife in the future, haha."
"Yes, it's not just boys who can find wives easily, girls can also hold their heads high in their husband's family, and they won't always be looked down upon by their mother-in-law for being poor."
…
Li Haoran smiled as he watched the members' smiles grow happier and their emotions grow more excited. The light of hope illuminated their eyes and their hearts...
"Comrades, I have another good news for you," Li Haoran stood up and shouted, "My son and daughter-in-law, in order to show their support for their mother as the chief technician of the breeding farm, decided to buy 100 one-month-old chicks in the spring and give them to our village."
"Ah, one hundred of them! That's great!"
"Oh my god, Ziyi and his wife are so filial."
"Ziyi and his wife are so nice."
"Ziyi's wife only makes popsicles for the children in the summer, and now she is giving chickens to the villagers to raise. She is so kind."
"What a kind person! The captain and his family are all kind people."
"We must remember the kindness of Ziyi and his wife, and never be ungrateful."
"One hundred! Ziyi and his wife are really generous."
…
The members expressed their gratitude to Ziyi and Yike profusely, and the meeting ended at its climax.
The members don’t want to leave yet, as if what they said in the meeting just now would come true immediately if they don’t leave. It was only after being persuaded by the cadres that he left reluctantly.
"Haoran, you don't know, in the past, as soon as the meeting was over, the members would leave in a hurry, as if there was a flood or a beast here. Only today..." The new secretary's eyes turned red as he spoke, and the other cadres felt the same way and nodded in agreement.
"Secretary, don't worry, our village will only get better and better in the future, and members will like holding meetings more and more." Li Haoran said seriously.
What Li Haoran was thinking was that when there is money to be divided in the future, money can be divided during meetings, and then he will definitely like it.
The cadres all looked at the new team leader Li Haoran with excitement, and the new secretary also looked at Li Haoran with excitement.
Li Haoran looked at them, smiled and said, "I'm right. The next meeting will be the time to distribute food and money. You will definitely like it. You all look at me like this? It makes me feel embarrassed."
"Captain Li, we have never held such an exciting meeting," said the new secretary Wang Guoqing.
Other cadres also praised Li Haoran.
"Okay, stop praising me. If I fall into the ditch later, I'll blame you." Li Haoran said with a smile, then turned and said seriously, "When we go back tonight, the captains should think about who to arrange to build the chicken coop, pig house and rabbit house for the farm, and try to complete it as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Captain. We are committed to completing the mission," the captains assured.
"Go, go, everyone go home. I'm going home too. I'm really hungry." Li Haoran waved his hand to let everyone disperse, and he and his wife went home happily.
From that day on, Beishan Village, like Taoyuan Village, began to run on the road to prosperity. All of this is the curtain of hope opened for them by the two time travelers, Yike and Ziyi.
The next day, in Beishan Village, at a breeding farm, the leader of a production team was directing everyone in the production team to build a chicken farm, while some of the men went to cut trees and move stones.
Some people were working hard to make the ground of the chicken coop solid, and then they would lay cement floor inside to facilitate cleaning and washing.
The women were cutting weeds on the mountain. The hillside had to be fenced off, that is, a part of the mountain had to be fenced off as a place for the chickens to move around.
The second production team was responsible for raising pigs, and the pig farm was built on the back mountain of the second production team, next to the mulberry tree.
Some of the men in the team were moving stones, while some of the men worked hard to make the ground solid. This ground was also prepared to be made into cement after the pigpen was built. This would make it convenient to clean it with water later, and also to use water to cool the pigs when the weather was hot. There are ten pig pens in total, each of which is about 20 square meters. The pig pens are separated by stones. The floor of the pig pens is not only concrete, but also has a certain slope. There are also manure and urine ditches. The food and water troughs in the pig pens are all made by the village stonemasons themselves.
The rabbit farm was under the responsibility of the third production team, and Li Haoran also brought ten pairs of breeding rabbits from Taoyuan Village, so the rabbits had already moved in before the rabbit house was built.
The members of the third production team were looking at the temporary hut built for the rabbits while working, their mouths almost pulled to the back of their ears, they seemed to see groups of little rabbits jumping around in the rabbit farm...
In the Beishan Village in the past, people had nothing to do in winter. If they could find work outside, it was fine. But if they couldn’t find work, as long as the team didn’t arrange for them to work, there was nothing to do in the winter. That meant that men, women, young and old would just lie in bed and never go out to chat. Why? Exercise less, talk less, get hungry slower, and eat less. Only in this way can you save food and survive the winter.
But now it’s different. As long as they go to work at the farm, they can directly use grain to offset the work points for the day. Although this grain is not fine grain but coarse grain, it is not the kind of coarse grain that tastes bad, and it is enough to feed their family.
They have never been so happy working as they are now. They feel like they have endless energy. Even the children help pick up small stones for the adults to use, instead of playing around like before.
Everyone knows that if the farm is built this year, there will be a steady stream of income next year.
The fields will also have fertilizers, and the grain harvest will be good. After paying the public grain tax, there will be a lot of surplus grain, and they will never lack food again.
Beishan Village, the once half-dead winter, has become history since Li Haoran took over as the team leader. Now, Beishan Village in winter is full of infinite vitality.
The people of Beishan Village worked indeed diligently and efficiently. The breeding farm was completed in less than half a month. Of course, this was mainly due to the hard work of the members.
"Here, this gap is so big, not to mention small chickens, even big chickens can get out. Get some stones to block it." Zhang Yuling checked the fenced chicken farm and found that there were big gaps in some places, so she immediately asked people to fill the holes.
Li Haoran was not idle either. He was checking the rabbit habitat. Rabbits can dig holes, and if they are not cleaned properly, they will run away.
Even though Li Haoran and Zhang Yuling had done this kind of work in Taoyuan Village, they were not fully responsible for it. They just did whatever they were told to do without having to think too much. Now they have to direct and check everything by themselves. They are busy and tired. They are so tired that they can't even keep up with what they have done. They just eat casually.
When Ziyi and Tang Jianguo came back from the south after buying the equipment, they saw that the two men had lost weight.
