Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it
Chapter 225: Changes in Poverty
The next day the villagers got up very early.
Compared to yesterday, people are much more anxious today. The weather has obviously turned cloudy. The weather is already cold, and if it rains or snows, the mountain road will be difficult to walk on.
Chen Xu was woken up by Xiao Hei. The stupid cat was scratching the bedroom door early in the morning.
Lin Chan got out of bed and opened the door, fearing that Xiao Hei would get impatient and tear the door down with a slap. After all, with the tons of force of Tiger's slap, the wooden door at home was not much different from the one made of paper.
Then Chen Xu's shouting and cursing were heard in the bedroom.
"Xiao Hei, get down..."
Chen Xu, who originally wanted to be affectionate with his wife, got up with a dark face, put on his clothes, and grabbed Xiao Hei's ear without thinking.
"Don't you know how heavy you are?"
"Ow! Ow!"
Chen Xu gave up. What can a big cat understand...
In the morning, the villagers sped up the fishing process and assigned half of the people to transport the fish out of the mountain.
Chen Xu, Section Chief Liu, and Director Chen, who were watching the fun yesterday, also joined in. After all, the weather was looking more and more wrong, and it might snow heavily.
Moreover, the villagers who went into the water took turns to do so. The temperature dropped sharply today. If they stayed in the water all the time, they would probably get sick from the cold.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer fish in the net each time, Chen Xu felt that it was about time.
The small fish were thrown back into the pond and the bigger ones were carried away.
I was busy from early morning to noon, and heavy snow was falling.
Watching the last batch of fish being carried down, Chen Xu asked the villagers in the neighboring village how many fish had not been transported back to Chenjia Village. Although transporting fish by bamboo raft was better than walking on the mountain road, it was also quite time-consuming.
But at least the fish have been caught, and the snow doesn’t affect the waterway much.
Many people from Chenjia Village gathered around to watch the fun. They had heard yesterday that fish were being raised in Linjia Village, but they had not expected there would be so many. These baskets of fish were so enviable.
The two drivers and a comrade from the security department are still busy. They are responsible for weighing most of the fish sent from Linjia Village. By the time the last batch of fish was delivered, it was already a few hours in the afternoon.
Chen Xu followed the last batch of fish and asked how many fish there were.
The number was already known after weighing over there, 81,430 kilograms. Chen Xu nodded. This was about the same as he imagined. If the ones he threw in the pond the day before were not counted, there would be at least 4,000 kilograms of fish in the pond.
Although it is far from meeting the harvest standards for real fish farming, no one has ever fed the ponds in the mountains, and the fish grow completely naturally.
It is already a good harvest for a pond of several acres. People who raise fish in one acre of fish pond can get two to three thousand kilograms of fish. After all, they are specialized in fish farming and need to feed them.
He was able to get such a harvest probably because there was enough food in the pond over time. If no one feeds the pond next year, the number may not be that high.
But Chen Xu was not panicked. After all, the number of fish in the pond was not determined by the number of fish in it.
In fact, one car is enough for more than four tons of cargo, but fish take up a lot of space, so they were finally packed separately.
More than 8,000 kilograms of fish may sound like a lot, but it is actually not much money. Fish in the market nowadays cannot be sold at a high price, only a few cents per kilogram.
Even if the price Director Chen gave was a bit high, it was only a little over 40 cents, and there were no tickets.
The total amount is just over 3,000 yuan. Considering the 50% distributed to the villagers, Chen Xu can probably get about 1,600 or 1,700 yuan.
This amount is not much for Chen Xu, but it is already a huge fortune for Linjia Village.
People say that money is useless, but that only applies to bills. Some things can still be bought with money, not to mention free money. If you can get this benefit every year, why not do it.
Chen Xu naturally knew that the price on the black market could be higher, but who would be so bored as to sell so many fish on the black market? Not to mention whether the fish were easy to sell, the quantity alone was a big problem. It would save a lot of trouble if the steel mill could purchase them all at once.
The money and invoices naturally had to be settled back at the factory. Director Chen had not expected that there would be so many fish. He thought that four or five thousand kilograms would be outrageous.
Chen Xu didn't care. How could the factory swallow his money?
This is a public-to-public account, with receipts.
He didn't ride his bike here, so he could only follow the bike back.
Lin Chan had no plans to continue going to Sijiu City, and the divorce date was approaching, so she just stayed in the village and waited for Chen Xu to come and marry her.
"Stay home and wait for me to marry you."
Chen Xu scratched Lin Chan's nose. The little girl was a little shy, after all, there were so many people here.
"Ah."
The girl spoke in a very low voice, completely lacking her usual carefree demeanor, which made everyone want to laugh, especially the people from Linjia Village.
Everyone knows Lin Chan's personality. From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever seen a little woman like her.
Let's not talk about other aspects of Chen Xu. Just based on the fact that he was able to completely defeat Lin Chan, everyone admired him. After all, it's not that no one had thought of taking advantage of Lin Chan before, but the ending was a bit tragic...
The village chief told him about his plan to start breeding after the New Year, and Chen Xu nodded in affirmation.
If you want to get rich, you have to find another way. You can't eat your fill just by farming. The wind hasn't blown yet, and it will be safe for at least five years. And even if the wind blows, who will care about these places in the countryside?
What's more, it is collective farming, which is completely in line with the core idea of unity.
Chen Xu talked to his third uncle about getting married, and his third uncle was very happy, even though Chen Xu had already mentioned getting married during the New Year.
As Chen Xu's direct elder, he is the only one from the Chen family who can come forward.
The two trucks left, but this incident caused quite a stir back home.
After all, with the example of Linjia Village, many surrounding villages have other ideas. Not to mention Chenjia Village, which has already made preparations for breeding, other village heads all want to follow suit.
The village chief of Zhoujia Village was a little proud when he heard this. Look, what is this called? This is called great minds think alike. Others raise fish and they raise pigs. They all have foresight. When I met the village chief of Linjia Village that day, I had to have a good drink...
When we returned to the steel mill, there was a commotion in the factory. Although fish was not a popular product like pork, it was also a meat. The food in the factory this year was really not that good, even with less oil. It was nice to have some fish soup.
The events here alarmed many factory leaders, and Director Yang patted Chen Xu on the shoulder.
"Good job, young man."
Director Chen secretly told him that his position would definitely change after the Chinese New Year, but it was hard to say at the moment what level of clerk he would be promoted to.
Chen Xu didn't take it seriously. This thing was really not that important to him.
Moreover, he did not hold out much hope. Even if he was promoted further as a level nine clerk, he would only be level five at most in a short period of time, which was similar to a college student who had just entered a factory.
It is not so easy to become a first-level clerk or deputy section chief. At least his age is his absolute shortcoming.
Generally speaking, those who can become a section chief are at least 30 years old, and he is only 20 years old this year...
