Zheng Bajin also lit a cigarette, sat on the floor, and started talking with Xi Shunjin.
It turns out that this hillside is all Xi Shunjin’s land.
He only has an eighty-year-old mother who has long lost her labor force. Apart from the rest of the family, there is no labor force, and there is a lot of land. If the soil is not loosened in advance, it will not be loosened in the future.
Zheng Bajin nodded. It could be seen that he was an extremely hard-working person and had not developed the inertia of waiting for someone to ask for something. He decided to help him and asked: "Why don't you find a companion? It's very hard to be alone." of."
Xi Shunjin sighed and said: "My family is too poor, and no one wants to suffer with me. I have found one before, and everything is good, but I don't like my old mother. Later, we broke up and each went his own way."
Zheng Bajin nodded. If a woman can't tolerate her husband's mother, no matter how good the woman is, it doesn't mean anything.
You can find another wife, but mother is the only one.
"There is no need to be afraid of being poor. As long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties." Zheng Bajin pointed at the mountainous land and said, "Uncle, don't you think about growing some vegetables?"
"We can't grow it, and we can't eat much of the vegetables we grow. It's far from the street, so we can't sell them." Xi Shunjin sighed.
"No, as long as you plant it, I will harvest it. You see, this place is not far from the highway." Zheng Bajin said seriously, "Now, you can plant part of it in the potato row without delay. When the time comes, I’ll give you five cents a pound, which is no worse than growing potatoes.”
"Don't be ridiculous, young man, if you plant Lotus White or the like in this land, the yield will be very high. Just on my land alone, I can grow tens of thousands of kilograms in one season. Can you afford it?" Xi Shunjin glanced at it. Zheng Bajin doesn't look like someone who is drunk and talking nonsense.
"Don't worry, as long as you can grow it, I will take as much as you can. To tell you the truth, I am building a large pig farm in Shili Village. I need a lot of vegetables a year. Moreover, the vegetables that pigs eat are not It’s very particular. It’s not like food for humans. We only pick tender ones, as long as they are not in bloom or too old to bite.”
Zheng Bajin said, seeing that he still couldn't believe it. He knew that he rarely went out, and he didn't know that a person like him had emerged from Shili Village. He didn't introduce himself, but said seriously: "If you are worried, I can pay a deposit first. Then, you only need to pick the vegetables to the roadside, and I will have someone drive to pick them up."
Seeing that he was serious and took out the money, Xi Shunjin seemed to believe it, and began to feel excited, and said: "No deposit is required for now. I can plant part of it to try, but you have to provide me with seeds."
"You know, as a farmer, now is the tightest time. Besides, I don't have time to go to the streets. When you come to harvest the vegetables, just pay for the seeds."
"Okay, it's settled. I'll bring the seeds tomorrow. No, I'll buy them now." Zheng Bajin didn't want to waste time, so he got up and left.
Having a motorcycle is really convenient. It took more than an hour to go back and forth, and Zheng Bajin handed over three large cabbage seeds to Xi Shunjin.
Xi Shunjin thought he was just joking, but he was serious and promised him that he would grow vegetables well.
He pointed to a small house not far down the hillside and said that was his home. He asked Zheng Bajin if he wanted to go and sit at home. Drink some water or something.
Zheng Bajin politely refused, saying that he still had important things to do, and stood up to leave.
When he returned home, it was already past breakfast time, and his family did not wait for him, thinking that he would not come back for dinner.
The main thing is that Zhang Xiaoyang has to be busy eating and looking at the pig farm, which is inseparable from people.
There is no food for the workers. They go home to eat after get off work. Now, Zhang Xiaoyang is probably already at the factory. Zhang Xiaoyang soaked a bottle of water in a can and carried it out. When he saw Zheng Bajing, he stopped and said: " Brother Zheng, we have found out that the person who cut off the tree roots is Wang Ergou in the village. I have deducted his wages and told him to go home."
"At first, this kid was not convinced. He said that I was breaking the law and deducting his wages for no reason, which was exploiting the labor force. I said that I would send him to the police station, and the official business would be done. How would the sentence be decided? When the kid heard this, I immediately got cold feet and ran away without daring to ask for any more wages.”
"I didn't ask why he did this?" Zheng Bajin admired Zhang Xiaoyang's ability to do things, but was dissatisfied that he let him go without finding out what was going on.
"No, this kid ran very fast. However, according to what he said, I only cut about ten trees. I didn't dare to do too many at one time. I planned to cut them in batches several times in the future. However, I didn't expect that you would cut off just a few words. No more planting." Zhang Xiaoyang said.
"Then where is he now?"
"Those who went towards the street probably don't want to stay in the village anymore." Zhang Xiaoyang said, "Should we go to his father and ask him to compensate for the losses?"
"No need. Fortunately, the loss this time is not big. However, you have to keep a closer eye to prevent anyone who dares to sabotage again. If you catch one and clean up the other, you must not tolerate rape." Zheng Bajin breathed a sigh of relief.
This was a big deviation from his guess. It was not just Zheng Baliang, otherwise, he would really have to kill the family out of righteousness.
"Okay, go and do your work. I haven't eaten yet." Zheng Bajin said and walked into the house.
Zhang Xiao'e was washing dishes and heard that he hadn't eaten yet, so she hurriedly went to heat up some food. Xiaocao had already gone to school, and Hu Ying took Zheng Laohai to the mountains to plant vegetables.
As soon as she heard that Zheng Bajin wanted to raise a large number of pigs, she hurriedly leveled the land and planted cabbage for Zheng Bajin to raise pigs. She couldn't help but persuade her.
After eating, Zheng Bajin drove his tractor to the street and bought some asbestos tiles. He calculated that three carts would be enough, and he had to build fifty pigsties first.
Each pigsty is very small and can only accommodate two pigs. If there are too many pigs, they will fight. If there are too few, they will have no companions. Fortunately, he designed a trough in front of the pen specifically for feeding water and food. In this way, there is naturally less waste, and feeding is convenient, hassle-free, and quite hygienic.
As soon as these five pens are built, the first batch of pigs must be started. Otherwise, they will be too busy and have to take several steps to do things.
When he got to the street, he parked the tractor in the township compound and found Zou Chenggang.
Zou Chenggang was wearing a white shirt and carrying a briefcase. He was about to go to a meeting. He looked at Zheng Bajing and couldn't help but was stunned. He came over and said, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong with the river bank construction?"
"There is no problem there, everything is normal. I am looking for the township head for another matter. My first batch of pigs will come in soon. When that time comes, do you think you can use the leftover soup water and some food from the township canteen? Give me the endless bones. It’s hard to pick up so many vegetables right now.” Seeing that he was busy, Zheng Bajin explained his purpose straight away.
"So fast?" Zou Chengzhang looked at Zheng Bajing in disbelief and said, "Don't worry, I'll say hello to the cafeteria. If you want it when you want it, you can just come and get it. I have a meeting now."
"Okay, go and do your work!" Zheng Bajin said, bidding farewell to Zou Chenggang, and went out to pull asbestos tiles.
