Xing’an Mountains 1984: Starting from climbing mountains to support the family

Chapter 238: New House Completed in Early July

Chapter 238: New House Completed in Early July
There were some lazy people who originally wanted to take advantage of the situation, but after being frightened by Wang Guofu and Chen Weidong, they dared not show up anymore.

Especially in the pig farming cooperative, everyone has invested money, and they know who is hardworking and capable and who is lazy.

This also concerns their interests, so naturally they would choose those who are down-to-earth and hardworking.

Through voting, four workers for the pig farm were quickly determined. They were all young and strong men in the village and were good at their jobs.

Then Chen Weidong briefly said a few words at the meeting, including the price of purchasing pig grass.

The purchase price was 10 cents per 100 kilograms, which not only reduced the cost of raising pigs, but also provided a way for the villagers to make a living.
Although the price of one cent for one hundred kilograms is cheap, in this era, as long as there is money, there are many people willing to do it.

After the meeting, Chen Weidong returned home. Meetings were not as important as spending time with his wife and children.

As for Wang Guofu, Chen Weihai and his team took four workers and a veterinarian, drove a donkey cart, and went to the village to buy pigs and pig feed.

Wang Guofu and Chen Weihai had been optimistic about the pigs for a long time, but after looking around for a few days, they only decided on three sows.

“Everyone, if you know who has a sow, please tell me.” Wang Guofu said.

“Uncle Guofu, why are you buying so many old sows?”

“An old sow can give birth to two litters of piglets a year. An old sow can give birth to at least ten piglets a year, and even more than twenty.

Weidong said that if we raise a few more sows and a few dozen piglets, by the time the first batch is ready for slaughter, we will have at least a hundred pigs in our farm!”

“Oh, I know a way. I can use Chinese medicine to make old sows go into estrus twice a year, so they can give birth to more babies.”

Veterinarian Wang Hai interrupted.

“Old Wang, I didn’t expect you to be this capable! If this happens, our pig farming cooperative will be very wealthy! By the way, Old Wang, you must prepare this medicine quickly, it will be useful soon.”

“Don’t worry about this! I have this medicine ready at home. Put it in when you cook the pig food. Cook it together with the pig food and feed it to the old sow.”

“Uncle Wang, what medicine are you using? Can you tell me?”

Someone asked curiously.

“What’s so inconvenient about this? Actinolite, Chinese angelica, Cuscuta australis, Epimedium, Cinnamomum cassia, Eucommia ulmoides… Keep it safe and use it!”

Wang Hai said with a smile.

“Uncle Wang, can we eat that person? I have a relative…”

“No, I’m just a veterinarian. If a human takes this medicine, it’s done for. Not only can humans not take it, but even boars can’t take it. I forgot to remind you that this medicine is for sows. Remember, don’t give it to boars!”

“This is a drug that makes sows go into estrus. If a boar eats it, it will turn into a eunuch pig.”

“Uh……”

“My eldest brother’s family has an old sow. I will go back to my family tomorrow and try to buy the old sow.”

“My eldest brother, who was carrying a load of pigs, also got an old sow. I will go talk to him tomorrow and try to buy it.”

Everyone began to speak actively and offered suggestions on how to contact sows for the pig farming cooperative.

“Very good, our pig farming cooperative needs to work together so that we can grow stronger.

Anyone who has connections in this area is welcome to contact us. Weidong told us in advance that as long as the price does not exceed the market price plus 20%, we can buy it.

It may seem like we spent a little more money, but in fact, we can earn it back ten or a hundred times later.” Wang Guofu said with a smile.

After hearing what Wang Guofu said, everyone laughed out loud with anticipation.

I am full of expectations for the future of the pig farming cooperative.

……

Days passed by. Every day, Chen Weidong either spent time with his wife and children, or worked on his new house, or took his two golden eagles and dogs for a stroll in the nearby hills, or went to find Carpenter Liu to make furniture… and so on.

As for the pig farming cooperative, Chen Weidong occasionally went to take a look, and seeing that nothing was going on, Chen Weidong did not get involved.

We were busy all the time until early July, and the pig farming cooperative was back on track.
Chen Weidong also built his own courtyard house and laid concrete floors in the house.

All the furniture in the house has been packed, and the wardrobes, tables and chairs are all made of elm.

The elm was naturally cut by Chen Weidong in the mountains. It is a kind of elm wood that is unique to Northeast China. The heart of the tree is dark red and the texture is very beautiful. The northern elm in the southern elm and northern elm refers to the elm.

The furniture made was no worse than small-leaf rosewood and old mahogany. In later generations, this kind of wood was already very rare in the Northeast.

Recently, Liu Xueting’s belly has grown a little bigger.
After Chen Weidong’s own house was built, Shitou also started to build a new house, also a brick house, but Shitou’s house was not a courtyard house like Chen Weidong’s, but a most ordinary farmhouse in Northeast China.

“How’s our new house?!”

After the house was built, Chen Weidong brought Liu Xueting and the children to visit the fruits of his labor.

Liu Xueting and the little girls were very satisfied when they saw their newly built big house.

The fourth child, Chen Shujing, ran around and looked at every room, shouting, “Dad, I like this big house!”

Xiaowu and Xiaoliu also followed Xiaosi all the time, running around and shouting, “This house is so big!”

Liu Xueting, Dani, Erni and Sanni also looked at all the rooms together, with happy smiles on their faces.

“Da Ni, Er Ni, you two sisters will live in this room from now on.”

The little girls are still young, and even though there are many rooms, I would definitely not feel comfortable with each of them having their own room.

“Dad, where am I! Where am I?” Si Ni, with her conspicuous bag, ran over anxiously and asked.

“You four should sleep with Daddy and Mommy first!”

“Wow, dad, this isn’t fair. Why do the oldest and second oldest sisters sleep in the same room?”

“So your elder sister and second sister go to school, and you disturb their studies.”

“Why, you have something against me?”

Erni asked.

“No, no! I always listen to you, second sister.”

Si Ni ran over and hugged Er Ni’s arm, speaking in a courteous and baby voice.

“Haha, Si Ni, you dare to sleep by yourself! If you dare, you can sleep by yourself!”

“Woo woo woo, I don’t dare!”

“Dad, when are we going to move in?”

“The house has just been built and it’s too humid. We’ll move in in a couple of days,” said Chen Weidong.

The new house has just been built, so it’s fine for adults to live in it, but not for children and pregnant women!”

Then Chen Weidong and the little girls made a few braziers, put charcoal in them, lit them, and put them in the house to heat the room, using the charcoal to remove moisture.
“Dad, playing with fire will wet the bed! Don’t blame us if you wet the bed at night.”

“Uh…you clever little thing,”
