Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Hu Guangyong had already heard the pigs' squealing and knew that Zhao Hongqing was right. No wonder Zhang Xiuzhi did not make any excuses at all. There was really no need to make excuses. She already had several pigs. Was there any need to steal them?

His mind raced as he began to think about what to do next.

When Zhao Hongqing returns, he will definitely exaggerate and say that Zhang Xiuzhi did not steal the meat and that the factory could not find out the whereabouts of the meat. In order to appease the workers' anger, this matter will not be left unresolved.

Hundreds of kilograms of flesh is not a small matter. In the end, there will be a thorough investigation, and Liu Lan will be pushed to the forefront. By then...the things she directed and acted out herself may be exposed.

Going to jail, there is no way out for the rest of your life...

Fear of this outcome surged into Hu Guangyong's heart, and he thought of a way that might be able to save the situation.

Let the factory buy a pig!

To calm the workers' anger, I spent more money and went to visit Li Huaide at night to ask him to suppress the pork throwing incident...

Another person who also set his sights on the pigs was Zeng Laosan. There is no need to explain Zeng Laosan's reasons. Just like before, he wanted to please Secretary Wang of the commune, and his ultimate goal was still for the village.

"Niuzi, Goudan, get down, get down quickly!" Zeng Laosan first scolded the impatient militiamen to get down, "What are you talking about? The car is fine, why are you making trouble? Get down quickly!"

Zeng Niu came down reluctantly, thinking that with so many pigs, it would be great if the village could kill one. It was too miserable to go out to the mountains and work in the fields every day without a drop of oil to eat.

Zeng Laosan also thought that he couldn't wait for Zeng Wangcai to come back, so he planned to keep Zhang Xiuzhi here. To be more precise, he wanted to keep his second brother here, to persuade him and ask some questions to see if there was any chance to keep one.

"Hey, Xiuzhi." Zeng Laosan came to Zhang Xiuzhi with a smile, "It's getting late, do you want to stay in the village for one night and leave early tomorrow morning?"

"I dare not!" Zhang Xiuzhi pointed at the fish in the field and said, "They are all upset. If we don't let them buy them today and put them in the refrigerator, they will go bad."

This is the truth. Zeng Laosan was only thinking about the pigs and forgot about the fish.

Zeng Laosan couldn't stay any longer, so he asked Zeng Niu and a few others to help the driver push the cart.

The driver got in the car and started the ignition, but the truck's engine just roared but wouldn't start.

"Yangzi, there's trouble. The car won't start." The driver said with sweat all over his forehead.

Zeng Laosan's mouth corners suddenly curled up, God is helping me.

As luck would have it, one of the cars broke down at this time. The driver got out of the car and checked for a long time. He said that something was broken and had to be replaced, but there were no parts in the village.

After discussion, it was decided that Lin Huyang and Huang Liang would go back with a car first to pull the fish back to prevent it from breaking down, and also bring back spare parts from the city to repair it.

In this way, Zeng Laosan's beloved second brother must stay.

When they started unloading the truck, Zeng Niu and a few others excitedly went to grab the second brother. They climbed onto the truck without even looking past the tarpaulin, their eyes only focused on the big fat pig.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Zhang Xiuzhi went over and pulled the rope, "Unload the pumpkin first, or you won't break it when you catch the pigs later."

Pigs are very strong!

In order to fit in more pumpkins, Zeng Wangcai found that the space he used to keep the pigs was too small to be useful.

"Are there any pumpkins?" Zeng Lao San hurriedly ordered, "Don't worry about the pigs yet, unload the pumpkins."

Zeng Niu and others changed their target, untied a piece of rope, and lifted a corner of the tarpaulin.

Seeing the pumpkin inside, Goudan exclaimed: "Village Chief, what a big pumpkin!"

"What's so strange about a big pumpkin? Hurry up and stop acting like a fool." Zeng Laosan said nonchalantly.

We are all from the countryside, who hasn’t seen a pumpkin?

He cares about the pigs!

"No, the village chief is really big, bigger than a millstone!" Goudan desperately pulled out a pumpkin from under the cloth and held it up to show Zeng Laosan, "Look, village chief, is it big?"

"this......"

When people saw the pumpkin, not only Zeng Laosan, but everyone in the village was shocked.

Is this called pumpkin?

How is it possible to have such a big pumpkin?

After staring at the pumpkin for more than ten seconds, Zeng Lao San took a breath and said, "Xiuzhi, where...where did this pumpkin come from?"

"If they grow in the fields, where else can they come from?" Zhang Xiuzhi went over to take the pumpkin, unable to hide her pride. "Wangcai has a good harvest from farming over there. I told you that you have no idea. Look, these pumpkins and sweet potatoes are all grown by him..."

Zhang Xiuzhi once again promoted Zeng Wangcai's farming techniques, and the results of this promotion shocked farmers like Zeng Laosan who had been farming for a lifetime.

"Oh my god, oh my god..." Zeng Lao San murmured, "The yield per mu is five...more than five thousand kilograms, it's too scary, I didn't expect Wangcai to have this ability.

"No, why not grow some food? Wouldn't it be better to grow some corn or wheat?"

At this point, Zeng Laosan could no longer suppress an idea in his mind. He pulled Zhang Xiuzhi aside and told the villagers to unload the pumpkins.

Away from the crowd, Zeng Lao San rubbed his hands and said, "Xiuzhi, can you talk to Wangcai and ask him to find a way to give us some seeds? Also, they have harvested hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain and vegetables, so they will definitely receive a reward. Um... can you lend us a pig on credit?"

Zeng Laosan is still quite respectable and he is not greedy.

There were two reasons why he hesitated and did not talk to Zhang Xiuzhi about the pig.

First, he wanted to buy on credit. Last time, the village owed Zeng Wangcai a debt and he repaid the debt without paying a penny. It would be shameless to ask for credit again.

Second, he was worried that Zeng Wangcai and the other pigs had arrangements already made, and speaking up would put Zeng Wangcai in an awkward position!

But the people in the village really can't make ends meet. After the farm work is finished, each person will probably only need half a pound of food a day, or maybe even less than half a pound.

So, he still speaks.

Now that he heard that Zeng Wangcai was doing so well, he felt less concerned.

Zeng Laosan saw that Zhang Xiuzhi didn't say anything, so he quickly explained, "We're not giving it to the villagers to eat, we're taking it to the commune. Our harvest this year is actually better than last year, but life is getting worse and worse, and the commune wants too much. I want to send a pig over so that Secretary Wang can take less, so that the village can hold out for a while longer. Otherwise, when the harvest is poor, people will starve to death."

Whether the statement that people starved to death is an exaggeration or not, everyone who knows knows it.

"Village head, I'm afraid your method won't work." Zhang Xiuzhi has been working for such a long time that she is no longer the ignorant girl she used to be. She has a deeper understanding of the system. "At this time, we must obey the overall situation. Let alone sending one pig, even if you send all the pigs, Secretary Wang of the commune may not dare to be the pig.

"If our village collects less, other villages will have to collect more. The task is fixed. Secretary Wang will not reduce the amount of grain delivered to the higher authorities."

Zeng Laosan remained silent upon hearing this, he knew that Zhang Xiuzhi was right.

"What a damn world. We can have enough to eat, but in the end we live worse than pigs." Zeng Laosan squatted down, took out a cigarette with a worried look and smoked it quickly, puff by puff. In the blink of an eye, only the butt of the cigarette was left.

"Village chief, if you want the village to get through this difficult time, I do have a way..." Zhang Xiuzhi said with a smile, "But you have to stand on Wangcai's side and persuade Secretary Wang to do something..."

Zeng Wangcai's plan to use the entire Zengzhuang as an experimental field encountered resistance. Some people disagreed, not that they disagreed with setting up an experimental field, but that they disagreed with setting it up in Zengzhuang.

So Zeng Wangcai wanted to start from the bottom to see if there could be a turnaround.
