Chapter 232 Ordinary Days

In addition, there is another point, that is, Chen Weidong is rich now, and he has made money with Shitou, Bingzi, and Li Shengli from Lijiatun.

Although people are simple these days, they are not stupid at all.

They were also very envious.

Except for that night, Shitou and Bingzi invested two hundred yuan.

Starting from the second day, people came one after another to sign up and apply to join the pig farming cooperative.

Three days later, Chen Weidong learned from Chen Weihai that more than 30 households had signed up to join the pig-raising cooperative, accounting for one third of Jiuqu Village.

At 50 yuan per household, the total amount for more than 30 households is 1,000 to 2,000 yuan.
Originally, a family with better conditions in the village also invested 100 yuan like Wang Guofu. Together with the money invested by Chen Weidong, a total of 2,800 yuan has been raised.

Seeing so many people participating, Wang Guofu and Chen Weihai were extremely happy!
Now a piglet costs about 20 to 30 yuan. Although it costs money to build a pigpen, buy piglets, buy feed, and work on the pig farm,
But if you only use half of the money to raise pigs, you can raise about fifty or sixty pigs.

So the two of them called Chen Weidong over overnight, and also called on a few people in the village who could contribute more money, and they all discussed together how to build a pig farm.

According to Chen Weidong’s suggestion, they could directly use several houses in the village office and a piece of vacant land in front of it and transform it into a pig-raising cooperative. It would not take much time and money to complete the cooperative.

Although the overall area of ​​the village is not very large, it is only about one and a half acres, but it is no problem to raise more than a hundred pigs.

You should know that in the Northeast there are big xiang and small xiang. A small xiang is equal to ten acres of land inside the pass, and a big xiang is roughly equal to fifteen acres of land inside the pass.

Although the land is not large, even if we adopt the free-range method: raising one hundred pigs requires about ten acres of land, this land is enough to raise one hundred and thirty or forty pigs!

Moreover, Chen Weidong did not plan to raise pigs in the wild. Pigs raised in the wild would require a lot of exercise, would not grow fast, and would not be fat enough.
According to the methods of later generations, Chen Weidong only needs about three square meters of space for each pig on average, so more can be raised!

In the past few days, Wang Guofu and Chen Weihai have been coming to him to make a decision. Although Chen Weidong has never run a pig farm in his previous life, he has seen pigs run even if he has never raised pigs!
Of course, Chen Weidong did not interfere much in other matters, such as the land contract between the pig farming cooperative and the brigade.

How much money should be paid in one lump sum? This is Wang Guofu’s problem. With Wang Guofu, all these things have become much simpler. It also concerns Wang Guofu’s own interests, so Wang Guofu works even harder!

Moreover, Wang Guofu is quite capable. After seeing so many people investing in the pig farming cooperative,
After Chen Weidong explained the prospects to him, he gritted his teeth and took out another 150 yuan.

After hearing the news, Chen Weidong also smiled. As for the one hundred yuan that Wang Guofu had said before was the coffin money, he didn’t believe it from the beginning. After all, Wang Guofu had been the village chief for so many years.

Soon the pig farming cooperative was put on the agenda, and Wang Guofu and Chen Weihai were busy every day.
Chen Weidong pointed out the general direction, and the two of them could do the rest of the simple tasks, so they didn’t have time to come to find him.

After that, Chen Weidong did not go up the mountain. He stayed at home all day, accompanying his wife and children, busying himself with the construction of his own house, and taking care of the livestock at home.

Early this morning, after Chen Weidong finished his meal, he took out the two golden eagles. After feeding them, he interacted with the little golden eagles for a while.

Half a month ago, the two golden eagles looked like white-striped chickens. Now,
Its body is already quite big, and its feathers have already grown out. It won’t be long before all its feathers are fully grown.

Under Chen Weidong’s teasing, the golden eagle flapped its wings vigorously.

Chen Weidong did this to get them moving and promote their digestion.

Golden eagles in the wild are basically in a half-full state.

Now, Chen Weidong would not let them get hungry when feeding them, but he would worry about them eating too much.

“father!”

“father!”

Xiao Liu took a look at the two little golden eagles and wanted to go over to play with them. Chen Weidong was quick to pull Xiao Liu into his arms.
“father!”

“Dad is here, don’t go over there, be careful or they will bite you!”

Chen Weidong was coaxing the little baby and teasing the golden eagle at the same time.

The other five little girls and the little fox were running around in the yard!

Liu Xueting sat nearby, quietly watching Chen Weidong and the six little girls with happy smiles on their faces.

In Liu Xueting’s opinion, such ordinary days are the happiest.

Chen Weidong stopped only when he saw that the two golden eagle cubs were looking tired.

After handing Xiaoliu to Liu Xueting, he grabbed the two golden eagle cubs and put them back into the nest.

“Weidong! Weidong!” Chen Weidong had just sent the little golden eagle into the house when Li Shengli walked in hurriedly.

“Brother Shengli, how come you have time to come here?” Chen Weidong said with a smile.

“Weidong, you are so dishonest. You are running a pig farming cooperative, why didn’t you tell me about this?”

Li Shengli looked at Chen Weidong with a resentful look and asked. He had just heard about this from someone else.

Li Shengli is old now, and in a few years he won’t be able to go up the mountain. If he joins the pig-raising cooperative, given Chen Weidong’s ability, he believes he won’t have to worry about his retirement.

“Haha! This is something our village did. Besides, I don’t know if you’re interested, Brother Shengli!”

“Yes! Yes! I am very interested. I heard that Shitou and Bingzi invested 200 yuan in the stock. I am the same as them.”

Li Shengli said, “Okay, the pig farming cooperative hasn’t officially started operations yet, I’ll talk to Uncle Guofu later.”

The pig-raising cooperative has just started to be built, and the foundation has now been almost completed.

Unlike Chen Weidong’s house, at the pig farm, all the workers were paid. The daily wage for a laborer was 30 cents, and the daily wage for a skilled worker was 50 cents.
This salary is not low in Jiuqutun. If they didn’t need so many people there, I’m afraid there wouldn’t be many people left on Chen Weidong’s side.

However, this did not have much impact on Chen Weidong.

Even though the pig farming cooperative is working in full swing, it does not affect Chen Weidong at all.

Since there were not many people originally, everyone would discuss it behind the scenes and take time out to work with Chen Weidong for two days.

Chen Weidong brought Li Shengli to find Wang Guofu. Wang Guofu readily agreed to Li Shengli joining, as now was the time to use the money!
After Li Shengli paid the money and put his fingerprints on it, he immediately invited Chen Weidong to his house for dinner and asked him whether the pig farming cooperative could make money.

He was not reassured by what others said, and only felt at ease when he heard it from Chen Weidong himself.

Chen Weidong, who was clear about this, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry!

In the blink of an eye, a week passed, and it was time to put up the main beam of Chen Weidong’s new house.

Lifting the beams is the most important step in building a house in rural areas, and it is also the most exciting time to build a house.

You need to be optimistic about the day and time in advance when lifting beams.

This is the most important moment of the day, because the beam is the core of the entire house, and its position and stability directly affect the structural safety of the entire house.

In rural areas, there are usually some sacrificial activities before the beam is laid.

Chen Weidong also prepared a big rooster, a pig’s head, a fish, as well as incense burners, incense, firecrackers and other offerings for the sacrifice in advance.

Master Liang picked a good day, and Father Chen Guangtian notified several skilled workers in the village in advance to come and help put up the beams.

On the day of Liang Liang, the sun had just risen, and the clouds in the sky were still cold from last night.

The door of Chen Weidong’s new house was filled with people, and the air was filled with a warm atmosphere.

Because it was Sunday, the naughty kids in the village didn’t have to go to school, and with six children of my own, the area outside the house was particularly lively.

Under the guidance of the old people in the village, after offering incense and paying tribute, the beam began to be mounted. Seven or eight laborers from the village carried the main beam, which was tied with red cloth.

The strong laborers lifted it up step by step along the built shelf.

There were seven or eight strong laborers standing on the wall above the house, and they used ropes to pull it up.

Without a crane, we can only use this stupidest method to raise the beam. This method has been used for thousands of years.

There were people shouting slogans nearby:

Hey hey hey, hey hey hey!
Hey yo, hey yo!
Everyone works hard!

Hey yo, hey yo!
Come on, be an old guy!
Hey yo hey, hey yo!

Let’s move a crane together!
Hey yo, hey yo!
Here it comes!

Hey yo, hey yo!
Shouting slogans, working hard up and down to pull up the main beam.

After the main beam was put up, the master bricklayer confirmed that the placement was accurate and fixed, and then started setting off firecrackers.

As soon as the firecrackers went off, it suddenly turned into a sea of ​​joy for the children.

A group of naughty kids, including their own little kid, ignored Liu Xueting’s cries and were not afraid of being hit by the firecrackers. They gathered around the firecrackers, waiting for them to be set off and then picked up the duds.

This squib is an indispensable source of happiness for naughty children in their childhood.

Fortunately, only Xiao Si was the wildest. Da Ni and Er Ni were not interested in it and watched the fun with their goddaughter. Xiao Wu wanted to go along but was afraid of firecrackers. Xiao Liu was in Liu Xueting’s arms.

After the firecrackers ended, the bricklayers standing on the roof and the wall took out the wedding candies and cakes that Chen Weidong had prepared long ago and began to scatter them down.

Everyone came to see the excitement and waited for this moment.

A group of young and old swarmed forward to pick up wedding candies and wedding cakes.

Da Ni, Er Ni, Xiao Hua, San Ni, Si Ni, Wu Ni, and Xiao Liu also broke free from Liu Xueting’s arms at this time, and stepped forward with their short legs to grab the cigarettes. Chen Weidong ignored them and took out the cigarettes he had prepared long ago.

He started distributing cigarettes to people in the village.

Everyone who sees it gets a share. Chen Weidong will give a cigarette to anyone who comes, except children.

After taking the cigarette, everyone consciously left the yard.

What was just installed is only the main beam, and there is not only one beam in a house.

Therefore, everyone has to continue to take the beam.
