Chapter 110 Return to the city soon
After reading this, An Zhiqiu and An Zhixia looked at each other, both gloating about the misfortune. Look what harm this man who only cares about his own comfort has brought to the family!
This melon has been eaten by everyone in several factories in the community. Kang Xiaohua's eldest child is already in his twenties and is looking for a partner. He also has a younger one. Maybe his son and grandson will watch it together in a year. Everyone secretly said, Kang Xiaohua looks like a serious person, but why is he so old and shameless behind his back? At a grandmother's age, she doesn't know what to avoid. If she is pregnant now, won't it affect her children's marriage?
Xue Guofei wrote some more about the excitement of the An family and the Kang family, and then said that according to rumors, there will be an internal recruitment in major factories in Kyoto after autumn. He will pay close attention to the specific situation. He hopes that the An family brothers and sisters will not throw away the books and do a good job at any time. Preparation for the return exam.
An Zhiqiu read the letter three or five times, took a deep breath, pointed to the end and said, "Xia Xia, have you seen it? Maybe we can return to the city this autumn!"
"Brother, this is just hearsay. The Xue family has no connections like ours. Maybe the next time Brother Huzi hears the news, they will have already finished recruiting." An Zhixia hit him rudely.
“Can’t? We can always capture reliable news, right?”
"Even if we know the recruitment news, brother, how many children of employees in a factory are waiting to take the exam? How many children like us who have temporarily gone to the countryside are waiting to return to the city to take the exam? Not to mention 1,800 people competing for a position, one or two hundred Is that true? As long as there is one person here who has a strong relationship, the others will take the test together, shall we?"
An Zhiqiu pursed her lips tightly and stared at the letter, and asked in frustration: "Xia Xia, do you mean that there is no hope for us to return?"
"Brother, do you want to go back so much?" An Zhixia hesitated and suddenly realized that she had overlooked one thing. She knew that the college entrance examination would be resumed in 1977, so she had a sense of enjoyment and novelty in the current rural life and was very patient.
But the elder brother is different. He is the elder brother. He consciously takes on the responsibility of taking care of his younger sister and tries not to show hesitation, anxiety and desire to return to the city in front of her. Otherwise, he would not be so persistent in cooking. He wants a way to see hope!
Furthermore, even if my brother doesn't recognize his father, he still has to risk his ambition for his mother and return to the city as soon as possible to leave Kang Xiaohua's family behind. This is the responsibility he has to bear as a son and brother.
"Of course I do," An Zhiqiu looked at the unique chimney on the brick kiln, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly, "We were born and raised in Kyoto, and for eighteen years, that was our home. , is the place we should go back to. We go to the countryside just to escape from that home. We don’t really want to get married and have children and take root in a small village like other educated youths.
Xia Xia, Kang Xiaohua has a sweet face and a bitter heart. If the factory hadn't required her to support us through high school, and our mother had been strict with us since childhood, we would have developed a self-disciplined and hard-working character. I'm afraid we will be ruined for the rest of our lives!
So, no matter who we show it to, ourselves, mother, that man, or Kang Xiaohua, we all have to go back to the city and live a good life.
Besides, we can’t suffer seven or eight years in vain, we have to get it back twice as much.
How to repay kindness with kindness? "
An Zhixia pursed her lips tightly and nodded heavily: "Brother, we will return to the city soon!"
An Zhiqiu smiled, put the letter away carefully, and sighed softly: "It would be great if mother is still alive. Even if we can't see her, it's always a thought to write letters and send some food."
The original owner’s memory of his mother has been blurred, and I believe that his brother who is the same age has also blurred. What they are more attached to is the word mother, longing for the care and concern from their elders so that their hearts can have a place to go.
Knowing about Kang Xiaohua's tricks, the An brothers and sisters put their hearts in their stomachs, and their days continued to be trivial and busy.
After the wheat was harvested and corn was sown at the end of June, good news finally came from the chicken farm. Through a combination of free-range and artificial balanced scientific feeding, the first batch of hens were already laying eggs! Because chickens are raised in chicken farms not only for egg production but also for food, roosters and hens are raised in a certain proportion. The proportion is different in each growth period and is adjusted between 8% and 15%.
The employees in the chicken farm strictly follow the methods given by An Zhixia to feed them scientifically. After the first batch of hens lay eggs, other hens also begin to lay eggs one after another. Each flock can have more than a thousand small and beautiful eggs every day. Free-range eggs!
There are more than 20,000 chickens in twenty flocks!
The current market price of eggs is four cents each. Every household in rural areas raises a few chickens and relies on them to lay eggs to supplement the household income. Except for pregnant women and children, others are reluctant to eat them. The same is true in the city. Except if a woman at home wants to have a baby, she can apply to raise chickens for one or two months. At other times, if she wants to eat eggs, she has to queue up at the grain and oil station to buy them. The price is expensive and she may not be able to buy them.
It can be seen that the egg gap is still very large. Of course, raising chickens is risky. If you accidentally contract chicken plague, the entire chicken farm will be infected. Furthermore, the difficulty of transporting eggs is also a reason for limiting the scale of chicken farms.
An Zhixia has money in her hands. Except for the project of burning bricks, which requires capital investment and paying workers wages on time every month, she has no other expenses. So she spent money early, followed the president around, shamelessly asked for discounts, and finally spent 30,000 yuan to build a not-so-wide asphalt road from the chicken farm to the provincial highway!
Not only did it allow the members of the Wuqi Commune to see that the commune was truly transforming, it also gave the young and middle-aged people a part-time job with good wages.
Fang Yuan contacted many people and actually purchased a two-ton J-truck from the provincial capital at a low price of 10,000 yuan.
The flat road was cleared and the trucks were in place. Now the eggs were finally being produced stably in batches. Everyone happily separated the eggs with thick layers of chaff, wheat straw, straw, sawdust, etc., and packed them one by one into customized wooden boxes. . A box of thirty pieces can be hauled in one truck!
The eggs will be transported directly to the provincial capital grain and oil station, and then the provincial capital grain and oil station will distribute them in batches. More than 20,000 eggs may seem like a lot, but evenly distributed to each city, there are only a few hundred eggs, which is simply not enough.
So, as long as the chicken farm operates normally and all the hens lay eggs normally, there is no need to worry about being able to sell about 30,000 eggs a day. The purchase price of each egg is three cents. The chicken farm earns about 800 yuan a day, which is 24,000 yuan a month.
This project alone meets the minimum profit standards set by the province!
Furthermore, chicken farms not only produce eggs, but also delicious chicken!
In the agreement An Zhixia signed with the village, 20% of the profits will be divided. But is the money that comes into her hands so easy to get out?
