Chapter 21 I want to ask the whole village a question
"Ouch! Slow down!"
On the slightly crowded street, Yi Chuanzong was riding a bicycle at high speed. He occasionally shook the handlebars of the bicycle to perfectly avoid pedestrians on the road.
However, Lou Xiao'e obviously didn't believe in his skills and kept shouting, "I just bought a few piglets. What's so good about it?"
Yi Chuanzong smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know when we go home."
Lou Xiao'e frowned and wanted to say something else, but the car suddenly shook, and she could only hug Yi Chuanzong's waist tightly, "Slow down!"
The journey that originally took seven minutes now only takes four minutes.
Arriving at the door of Duyuan's house, Yi Chuanzong couldn't wait to open the door, as if he was offering a treasure.
Lou Xiao'e's curiosity was also aroused. She had seen piglets and wild boars before. Is there anything different this time?
Opening the door, Yi Chuanzong pushed his bicycle in eagerly, but Lou Xiao'e was looking at the ten little guys lying in the yard.
The black and white dots looked like they were sprayed with globs of ink, the big round eyes were very cute, the slightly longer nose was poking upwards, and it looked like a cylinder when lying on the ground, and the butt looked very big.
Lou Xiao'e couldn't describe her feelings for a moment. She said she looked good, but she didn't look good. She said she didn't look good, but she seemed a little cute?
"So ugly! You just let me see this?"
"Hey Hey Hey."
Yi Chuanzong smiled evilly, and then released one of the tied little wild boars.
Under Lou Xiao'e's confused look, Yi Chuanzong picked up the little wild boar.
This time, the little flower pig was much more honest and did not bark or grunt randomly.
Yi Chuanzong frowned, then stretched out his hand and twisted the pig's back.
After feeling the pain, the little flower pig kicked its legs in his arms, twisted its waist, swung its arms, and stood in a stalemate with its head turned sideways, wailing and struggling hard.
"Ouch~hum... snore..."
Lou Xiao'e frowned and looked up, looking up at the evil smile on Yi Chuanzong's face. She felt very angry for no reason.
So Lou Xiao'e asked in a cold voice: "What do you mean by letting me see this?"
Yi Chuanzong grinned. He lowered his head and glanced at the struggling little wild boar, and then raised his eyes to look at the other side with a very rude look.
Lou Xiao'e was a little angry. She asked loudly: "What do you want to say?"
The smile on Yi Chuanzong's face remained unchanged and he said, "Look at it, does it feel familiar?"
Lou Xiao'e frowned even more tightly. Seeing the man who was twisting his waist, kicking his legs, and swinging his arms but still couldn't get out of control, she thought of herself inexplicably.
Suddenly, Lou Xiao'e figured out that he was just talking about himself.
"Asshole, how dare you call me a pig!"
The smile on Yi Chuanzong's face became more intriguing. Looking at the figure rushing over, he forcefully defended: "You said it, I didn't!"
"Asshole, that's what you mean, stop right there!"
"I won't stop, please stop, I'll give this to you."
Lou Xiao'e was stunned, and a 28-pound floret pig appeared in her arms. It was not much, but its strength was still high. She had difficulty controlling this little guy for a while. The floret pig was humping in her arms.
.
"Ah! Go to hell!"
Although the floret pig looked clean, Lou Xiao'e didn't think a pig could be that clean. She pushed the floret pig out violently. Originally, she wanted to throw it away, but it was too heavy and she couldn't throw it.
Yi Chuanzong ran over quickly and finally caught the little pig when it was close to the ground. "Hey, aunt, this pig costs forty yuan. Do you want to throw it to death?"
"I want to throw you to death." Lou Xiao'e stepped over and started beating him, using all kinds of boxing, palm, kick and fingering techniques.
"It's so dirty, just throw it into my arms."
"I've washed them twice in the river, boiled them in hot water and baked them directly. They're very clean."
"Then you still scolded me!"
Yi Chuanzong pursed his lips and smiled and said: "I just want you to familiarize yourself with my image. I am going back to the village tomorrow. Will you go back with me?"
Lou Xiao'e was a little hesitant. She went back two months ago and the experience was not that good.
She feels the best in the city, and her family members on both sides are very understanding.
Those in the village are just fellow villagers, who are kind to each other and kind to each other, but they are outsiders after all, so there is no need for both of them to go there like visiting relatives.
But considering that Yi Chuanzong’s sweetheart was in the village, those villagers became the ‘accomplices’ of her ‘enemy’, and she had to go!
Lou Xiao'e raised her head and shouted fiercely: "Of course I want to go."
Yi Chuanzong muttered softly, "I didn't say not to let you go, why are you so fierce?"
the next day.
It's approaching noon.
Yi Chuanzong carried a thick wooden stick on his shoulders, while Lou Xiao'e staggered behind, holding a small piglet in her arms.
"Asshole, this guy is so heavy! Can I put it on for you?"
"Didn't you find it quite fun at first? Just bear with it, it will be there in three or four minutes."
Lou Xiao'e looked bitter and said, "Oh, I don't want to hold it now." When she lowered her head, the little piglet lay comfortably on her body, her eyes narrowed into crescents, and her expression was very comfortable.
Lou Xiao'e's heart was filled with anger as she looked at it. She was so tired that this little piggy felt comfortable, and her smiling look was too mean. She was a typical example of someone who behaves well after getting an advantage.
"If we keep on keeping on, we've only been walking for more than three minutes. We just treat it as a workout in advance."
Lou Xiao'e looked forward and saw the house on the hillside. She breathed a sigh of relief and gritted her teeth and decided to endure it a little longer.
"Pass the clan! Chuan the clan! It's really you!"
A shout came from a distance.
Yi Chuanzong turned around and looked over. Two hundred meters away on the khaki path, a well-dressed middle-aged man was running this way. He also shouted back, "Uncle Zhang."
After a while, people came closer. At this time, his legs and feet were worthless, and Uncle Zhang couldn't run away. His face was red and he was out of breath, but his eyes were a little wide.
"Good boy, I thought you were carrying something from a distance, but you really came here with Piggy?"
Yi Chuanzong grinned and said: "How can this be false? Didn't we agree on it before? I was watching the growth in the fields in the suburbs, and thinking that the village was well designated, I immediately went to the breeding base and bought ten.
"
Uncle Zhang opened his mouth and said so, but piglets are definitely more expensive than meat. How much do these ten pigs cost?
"Now, you should be going to the village chief's house, right? Come on, I'll go there with you."
"good."
As soon as he took two steps, Uncle Zhang saw Lou Xiao'e's struggling look, and immediately shouted: "You kid is not too heavy to carry nine heads, so why are you willing to let your wife do heavy work?" He turned around and said, "Girl,
Give it to me."
Lou Xiao'e looked into the distance and felt that she would be there in a while. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay, we'll be there in a while."
Yi Chuanzong glanced at it and said: "Okay, don't hold on, give it to Uncle Zhang. You really need to exercise more on weekdays."
Lou Xiao'e pouted and pushed the little pig out obediently, and Uncle Zhang hurriedly took it over.
With this change, the little piggy was no longer so honest, and started to howl and struggle again.
"Little piggy is quite energetic."
Yi Chuanzong couldn't help but smile again when he saw this familiar action.
"Snapped!"
Lou Xiao'e slapped her over, "What are you laughing at again?"
Yi Chuanzong explained: "I see that it is quite lively, which means that its body is very good and it will definitely grow a lot of meat behind it."
Lou Xiao'e glared at him fiercely. Now that there were outsiders around, she couldn't keep beating him.
Uncle Zhang looked at the floret pigs in his arms with joy on his face and asked: "Chuanzong, how much did you spend on these pigs?"
Yi Chuanzong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about money."
Uncle Zhang's face suddenly turned serious, "How can you not be anxious? Last time, the villagers ate and drank some of the things you made yourself. It was fine. This time, how can everyone waste the piglets you bought from other people's breeding bases?"
I want what’s yours.”
"Tsk!" Yi Chuanzong also grimaced, "Uncle Zhang, don't worry! It's not that I won't talk about this. I just want to talk to your leaders about it, so I won't let the folks know about it for the time being.
Otherwise, how could you let everyone dare to raise this thing?"
Uncle Zhang's face was startled, and then he nodded, "You think very carefully!"
Yi Chuanzong grinned. He knew the income of the villagers very well. In the previous three years of famine, it was enough to earn sixty or seventy yuan a year.
This piglet costs around 40 yuan. You can’t just buy it, you also have to feed it!
These two-month-old pigs have to eat less than two kilograms a day. Just some wild vegetables, bran (grain husks), wild fruits, fish, shrimps, earthworms, insects, etc. are not enough. Just feeding grass is not enough.
Feed some whole grains.
In Xiangyang Village, that is, the village party secretary and a few individuals were transferred from above. The salary of these people may be higher. It is normal for the village party secretary to be in his 40s or 50s.
However, other people who do not have serious positions are still considered to be in the brigade. Even the village chief, the leader of the village, is considered to be a member of the brigade. At this time, the village leader is a leader with both moral character and popularity, but he has no official position in the organization.
Even if you are the village chief, you have to think carefully about raising this little piglet.
After a while, they arrived at the door of the village chief's house. They were all similar khaki wooden doors, half open and half closed at this time.
Yi Chuanzong shouted outside the door, "Village Chief! I'm back!" After saying that, he kicked the half door with a bang.
"You brat, you kicked my door open again! Will you pay for it if it breaks?"
Hearing the noise, Village Chief Fang walked out of the room cursing and stood at the door, concentrating. He stretched his neck and looked at it carefully, blinking several times in the process.
After staying there for three seconds, Village Chief Fang ran over three times and said, "You kid, you are serious!"
At this time, Village Chief Fang had a confused look on his face. Raising pigs was a good thing. Around the time of 1956 or 1957, the commune had forcibly requisitioned a lot of livestock to prepare for the establishment of a large livestock farm.
At that time, many people simply slaughtered their own animals, even some old scalpers reluctantly killed them, otherwise it would be nothing if they were confiscated.
Things didn't get done.
But this is definitely making money, because some places that are more ruthless have succeeded.
It’s just that the raising process is too bumpy, because the pig’s appetite keeps soaring, from two to three to four to five to six pounds a day. It’s really hard to handle it without any preparation!
Is this more than just one more person to eat?
If people can’t survive, why raise pigs?
Yi Chuanzong felt happy in his heart, pursed his lips and snickered, "It takes some effort to raise it, but this pig is very old. It is two months old now. If you raise it carefully for a month, it will grow to seventy or eighty pounds."
There’s no problem, just triple it and watch them grow. What are you afraid of? If it doesn’t work, just sell it and the loss will be mine.”
Saying that, Yi Chuanzong untied a little piglet.
After this release, the little piglet, which had been miserable all morning, began to run away happily.
Village Chief Fang tilted his head and frowned, looking at the running piglets, it felt like a long piece of pork belly running.
He asked tangledly: "How much do they eat in a day now?"
Yi Chuanzong raised his eyebrows and said: "Not much, only two kilograms."
Village Chief Fang's eyes suddenly widened and he exclaimed, "Two catties! How can they eat two catties when they are so big?"
Yi Chuanzong quickly explained: "Eat two kilograms a day, divided into five meals, and you don't just eat grain. I have brought you a backup feeding guide for the breeding base."
Village Chief Fang put his hand to cover his forehead and said, "This is a big problem!"
Looking at the pamphlet in front of him, he could only reach out and take it, and then briefly looked at it with a serious look on his face.
"Xiao Zhang, go and call the captains of the eight teams in our village and tell Lao Yu about this matter. Let's have a brief discussion first. We have to hold a meeting in the afternoon."
"Okay, I'll go now."
Village Chief Fang smiled bitterly and said: "Chunzong and Chuanzong's wife, please come in and sit for a while. You really brought me a big surprise!"
"You find a room and I'll let them out first. It's not good to keep them tied up." Yi Chuanzong reminded them.
Village Chief Fang pointed towards the northwest corner and said: "Put it in the fence against the wall of the north house. I originally thought that the weather would be warm and I would raise two hens to lay eggs. The space is not big, so I would just put it there."
"Hey, that's just right. Wife, go catch the one who escaped."
Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up, and she turned to look at the little piglets still having fun in the yard, eager to try.
Catch the pig!
She had been raising these little guys at home for most of the day, and she couldn't help but play with them when they didn't feel dirty. After all, they were quite cute once she got used to them.
It didn't go well at first. Lou Xiao'e was fucked countless times. She was so angry that she chased her all over the yard, very happy.
With the previous experience, now she immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll catch it."
The two of them put a little effort into placing the piglets inside a six-square-meter fence.
After entering the house for about twenty minutes, leaders and captains from the village came over one after another, and started talking about the great cause of pig raising!
Seeing that there was no use staying here, Lou Xiao'e said softly: "I'm going out for a walk."
Yi Chuanzong did not refuse, "Okay, don't run around, otherwise it will be hard to find you. Don't crawl around either, some things don't seem that simple."
"I'm not a child!"
"Okay, just pay attention to safety."
Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes and left. This person always questioned her athletic ability. She actually just wanted to stand at the door and take a look.
But as soon as she walked out of the door, there was a cough from the side beside her.
Lou Xiao'e turned around and saw that it was a frail young man. He was bent over and coughing, but his small, narrowed eyes were looking at her.
"Hello." Lou Xiao'e greeted with a forced smile.
Li Liang has already looked at Lou Xiao'e three times. She has small black leather shoes, small black suit pants, a wool coat that looks very foreign, and she also wears a watch!
This looks like she is not a woman from the village. Even in the city, there are few women dressed like this.
His face trembled with anger, this was the woman Yi Chuanzong was looking for in the city!
That late autumn night, he first got drunk once, then struggled in the water countless times, was beaten many times, and stayed in the water for more than half an hour.
He staggered back home, and not surprisingly fell seriously ill the next day. Fortunately, his neighbors found him early, otherwise he would have been dead.
Even so, he has been seriously ill for half a month, and now his lungs are not clearing up. His whole body is constantly having problems. He either gets sick today or gets sick tomorrow.
He forced a smile on his face and asked, "Are you Yi Chuanzong's daughter-in-law?"
The smile on Lou Xiao'e's face became more real, "Yes."
The expression on Li Liang's face was very serious, "I want the whole village to ask you a question."
The smile on Lou Xiao'e's face immediately froze, and she felt the deep malice. She said expressionlessly: "Just ask."
Li Liang nodded heavily and asked in a low voice: "Yi Chuanzong took Widow Hua away for five months. How is Widow Hua doing now?"
Lou Xiao'e's eyes trembled violently, and she said in disbelief: "He took Widow Hua to the city and gave it five months?"
Li Liang said seriously: "On October 21st, he and Widow Hua invited everyone to eat meat. I was sick and couldn't go there that day, so my memory is more vivid. On the same day, he took Widow Hua to the city, and he
The flower widow never came back."
"It's March 23rd now, five months and three days to be exact."
Lou Xiao'e's brain was a little dizzy for a moment, because their wedding was on October 30, and this person took over before they got married.
On the 23rd, the two made an engagement! Widow Hua was in the city at that time!
Her mind was in chaos and she didn't dare to think about it any more.
Taking a deep breath to suppress the feeling of dizziness, Lou Xiao'e gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know either." After saying that, she turned around and entered the yard.
