Chapter 511 Development Plan
"Okay, then you can come over early tomorrow morning, just in time to help me pick up Siqi and his grandparents, so that I don't have to make another trip. Remember to call my aunt over too." , we will kill whichever one you like."
Tomorrow is Saturday, and Zhang An originally planned to go to the city to pick up his mother-in-law and father-in-law in the morning.
After all, the family only kills the New Year pig once a year. This is a festive event, and the whole family must be there.
But since Zhu Yuliang was going there tomorrow, Zhang An thought about giving Xiao Siqi’s grandparents a lift.
Because the round trip takes several hours, even though he drives by himself, it is really a waste of time. This is the main reason why Zhang An is usually reluctant to go into the city.
"This is not a problem. You tell Lao Su and his wife, and I will take them with me when I go there tomorrow morning."
Because of Zhang An's relationship, Zhu Yuliang and Su Shaowen They were already familiar with each other, so there was no need for Zhang An to tell him the address.
After leaving the Forestry Bureau, Zhang An did not go home directly, but went to Wu Qiuping's unit first.
"Xiao An is here. Why did he bring Siqi out in such a cold weather?"
Wu Qiuping was very happy to see Zhang An's little grandson on his back, but she still blamed Zhang An for bringing the child out in the cold weather.
“Today someone was killing pigs in the village, and everyone at home went to help. His mother also went over to help with the work. I went to the city to do some errands, and he likes to ride in the car, so I took a Get up.”
Su Ying usually dislikes riding in a car because she suffers from motion sickness.
But as Su Ying's biological son, Xiao Siqi is the complete opposite of his mother.
Not only does the little guy not get car sick, he actually likes riding in cars. Every time he drives with Zhang An, he is so happy that he doesn’t want to leave.
"Hurry up and let me hold you. We haven't seen each other for several weeks."
Wu Qiuping was just talking, there was no real blame.
At this moment, he just untied the back fan and put Xiao Siqi down from Zhang An's back.
Wu Qiuping likes the fact that little Siqi doesn't recognize people very much. Even if they haven't seen each other for a while, the little guy is still very well-behaved when Wu Qiuping holds him.
“By the way, Mom, the family is going to kill a pig tomorrow. Originally, I was thinking of coming over to pick you up from my dad tomorrow, but Lao Zhu has to go there tomorrow too, so I won’t come over. He will come over then. Pick you up.”
Zhang An came here specially to talk to Wu Qiuping about this matter.
Although he now has a phone at home and a mobile phone on his body, over the past few years, Zhang An has long been accustomed to the previous environment where communication was inconvenient.
"Okay, I get it. In fact, you don't have to go through such trouble, we can take the train."
To go to Hongyan Town from the county seat, taking the shuttle bus is already the next best option. After all, It's quite torture to sit for two hours.
There is now a green train passing through Hongyan Town. Although the speed is far inferior to later trains, it only takes half an hour from the county seat to Hongyan Town, which is several times faster than before.
Zhang An originally wanted to finish his business and prepare to go back.
But when I saw the mother-in-law hugging her son with joy, I felt less anxious and let them spend more time together.
"Qiuping, this is your little grandson. Look at those big watery eyes. He will definitely be a smart child in the future."
Several Wu Qiuping's colleagues saw her The little Siqi he was holding couldn't help but come forward and tease her a few times.
"Look at what you said, how will it be used in the future? I see that this child is very smart now. Look at the way he looks at people now. He is full of energy. Generally speaking, There are no children.”
At this time, another aunt was also conquered by Xiao Siqi's cleverness and cuteness, and couldn't help but retort.
Zhang An still has an impression of this aunt, because she went to the hospital to visit little Siqi the day after she was born, which shows that she has a good relationship with Wu Qiuping.
Wu Qiuping was also very happy at this time teaching Xiao Siqi to call several people grandma, which was regarded as following her seniority.
Although little Siqi can't speak yet, they don't care at all.
After half the payment, Wu Qiuping returned her grandson to Zhang An. After all, it was still working time.
No one will say anything if you touch the fish a little bit, but paddling all the time is a little too much.
Back in the village, Zhang An discovered that Zhang Ping’s house had just finished killing the first pig, and had just now pulled the second one out of the pig pen, preparing to file a case.
On the way back, Zhang An originally thought that if it was just two pigs, they should have been slaughtered. After coming back, he really didn't expect the progress to be so slow.
But after a while, I realized that it was the old ladies from Dongli Courtyard who came to buy meat, so they spent a lot of time.
Because these old ladies never bargain when buying vegetables in the village, but they are very demanding and choose very carefully.
Although each of them didn't want much, they couldn't bear the crowd. However, Zhang Jianwen was very patient with their financial backers.
So I kept waiting for them to carefully select, and let Lin Youde draw it wherever I liked.
After all the carefully selected old ladies were sent away, time had almost passed.
"Xiao An is back. How is it? Everything is done."
Seeing Zhang An back, Zhang Jianwen came over and asked quietly.
"Don't worry, uncle, it's settled. We don't care who goes when the new year starts. We can just go directly then."
Zhang An didn't even understand how Zhang Jianwen would react to this matter. So caring.
It took more than half an hour, and the pigs were slaughtered the next day.
However, the meat still has to be divided among the meat buyers in the village, but they are not like the old ladies in Dongli Yard who have to select carefully.
Basically, whatever piece you like, you just gesture with your hands and let Lin Youde cut it.
Although many people came to eat pig-killing rice today, there were far fewer people buying meat than in previous years.
Because the wages for the village's river construction this year and the money shared by the village were really large, many people who had never killed pigs at home before decided to kill one.
Even some families who cannot afford a whole pig themselves will drag their relatives in the village to slaughter one of them together.
Not only did Zhang Jianwen have no idea about this, he was actually very happy, because this meant that everyone's conditions were much better than before.
Because it took a long time, the pig-killing meal didn’t start until three in the afternoon.
During the meal, as in previous years, it was time for Zhang Jianwen to talk to everyone.
"The matter of raising deer is considered a major event in our village. Now that the certificate matter has been settled, I will go and get the certificate after the Chinese New Year. Then we will start to give the deer park to Build it out and build an army. You will have to pay more attention when the time comes.”
Now everything is ready, all we need is Dongfeng. When the deer park is built, the matter of raising deer in the village will also be implemented. "Besides this, I will go to the town after the new year to see if I can spend some money to harden the roads in the kiwi orchard in our village into cement roads. They are still mud roads now. If it rains a little, you will get stuck after just a few steps, which is really inconvenient."
Then Zhang Jianwen brought up another thing that everyone should pay attention to.
Because almost everyone here has planted kiwis at home. As long as this road is paved with cement roads, it will be more convenient to transport fertilizers and pick fruits.
And even those who don’t grow kiwis still have land, so anyone can use the cement road. This is something that everyone can benefit from.
Now the kiwi fruit grown by everyone has become the village’s main industry.
Even after experiencing such a huge natural disaster last year, the income was still more than growing crops for a whole year, so Zhang Jianwen was also very concerned about this matter.
But this time he didn’t ask everyone to pool money to build it like the road he planned to build before.
Because the road that needs to be built this time is very far, much further than the road into the village, it requires much more manpower and material resources than imagined.
No matter how many manpower there are, Zhang Jianwen actually doesn't care at all. He firmly believes that as long as everyone is united, this will not be a problem.
The difficulty lies in material resources. The funds required are a huge sum of money for the village.
Even though everyone's conditions have improved a lot now, if everyone comes together, it will be a thorn in the side for everyone.
So Zhang Jianwen set his sights on the town. In the past two years, the town was very satisfied with the development of their Changqing Village, and would give a few words of praise at every meeting.
Based on this, Zhang Jianwen decided to go to the town to spend the money. After all, this was a naked political achievement.
When Zhang An heard Zhang Jianwen's words, he really admired the old village chief of his village from the bottom of his heart.
Because of this idea, isn’t it the agricultural mechanized farming path that is being developed in every village in later generations? It can be said that it is of great help to all agricultural planting.
"Village Chief, we support you in this matter. It is really difficult for us to repair it ourselves, but as long as the town is willing to give it, we can give it as much as we want, and we can take care of the rest ourselves. "
"Yes, village chief, although we can't raise so much money ourselves, we can still grit our teeth and chip in a part. When the time comes, we will definitely be able to fix it if we contribute our own efforts."< br>
When the road is built, whether it is managing kiwis or growing crops, it will become very convenient, and everyone has expectations in their hearts.
"Okay, let's just wait. It's just a waste of money. I'm very good at it. There won't be any blood in the town this time, but you can't send me away."
< br>With everyone’s support, Zhang Jianwen is full of confidence at this time.
"Okay, that's all I can think of. Let's continue drinking and eating. If anything happens in the future, let's wait until the New Year is over."
After that, Zhang Jianwen led the way. First, he picked up the wine in the bowl and invited everyone to eat and drink.
"Although this mountain pig is a little more difficult to raise, it tastes really delicious, even better than our local pork."
Everyone who used to be unable to eat ordinary pork is completely obsessed with it today. I was so impressed by the meat of Gunshan Pig that I couldn't stop eating it with my chopsticks.
Fortunately, Zhang Jianwen's family has always been very generous. This time they cut more than 20 kilograms of pork to make pig-killing rice, which was enough for everyone.
“Yes, even this fat meat doesn’t taste boring anymore. It’s not too much to say it tastes good. Village chief, ask your relative if he will still sell piglets after spring. I I am also going to buy two piglets and raise them for my own family during the Chinese New Year.”
Almost everyone in the village knows that Zhang Jianwen and Zhang An’s family bought the Gunshan piglets from relatives of Zhang Jianwen’s family.
So now I asked Zhang Jianwen about buying two piglets and raising them next year.
After the conditions improved, everyone dared to think of raising a pig to kill during the New Year.
When Zhang Jianwen said this, everyone suddenly felt a little disappointed.
Zhang An already knew about this when he bought the piglets, but he also sighed in his heart. The pigs were good pigs, but they were born in the wrong age.
As long as it is twenty years from now, there will be no shortage of people to buy this pig.
But just as he was sighing, Zhang Jianwen turned the conversation to him.
"Although my old cousin no longer sells them, Zhang An still keeps several of them at home."
After that, he turned to Zhang An and said: "Zhang An, I remember that one of your boars has not been gelded. Otherwise, if you keep two sows and breed a few litters of piglets later in the year, everyone can buy them from you.”
What the two families were looking for at that time was. The same groomer, so Zhang Jianwen knew that there was a boar in Zhang An's family that had not been gelded.
“Sure, I’ll keep the two sows in that pen and try to mate them after the new year to provide piglets for everyone.”
Zhang An did not reject Zhang Jianwen’s suggestion. .
Because I will continue to raise the boar at home next year, I will keep the boar for breeding purposes.
Nowadays it’s just a matter of breeding a few more litters, it’s just a matter of convenience.
When many people heard Zhang An’s promise, they immediately made reservations for themselves.
After a while, the piglets were still gone, so I ordered twenty or thirty piglets.
The next day, it was Zhang An's turn to kill the New Year pig.
As in previous years, Lin Youde took action himself.
Although he has brought his apprentice out, he has always been helping to kill Zhang An's pigs.
And the number of people who came to Zhang An’s house to help today was no less than the number of people who went to Zhang Jianwen’s house yesterday.
This is also a reflection of Zhang An's family's good popularity in the village. If people can come at this time, it means they don't regard you as an outsider.
With yesterday's warm hand, Zhang An's four pigs were slaughtered today in three strokes, five divided by two, and it didn't take much time at all.
The old ladies from Dongli Courtyard also made an appointment to come to Zhang An's house to buy meat today.
After all, Zhang Ping’s family only killed two pigs yesterday, and what they could share with them was limited, so they all bought very restrainedly.
When I came to Zhang An’s house today, I naturally bought all the meat I wanted to eat this year at once.
Zhang An doesn’t mind that everyone wants too much. Anyway, there are quite a few left at home, so it’s not impossible to take one out and slaughter it now.
However, these four pigs are enough. There have been a lot fewer people coming to buy meat in the village this year. The meat can fully satisfy the tenants of Dongli Yard.
As for Zhang Jianjun and Zhang Jianye’s family, this year they plan to buy one from Zhang An’s family and slaughter one together, so they will not divide the meat at Zhang An’s family like in previous years.
