"I know, I arranged for someone to come here. I got 200 tons of fertilizer for the farm today, but I owe a huge debt.
From now on, I hope you will raise a few more pigs here, Uncle Chen, so that I can repay the favor." Zhang Junping smiled and had a drink with Chen Fusheng, making a half-serious joke.
"Then you have to get your Uncle Chen some steel and concrete so I can build a big pigsty."
"Uncle Chen, if you want to raise more pigs now, it's not a problem that can be solved by building a big pig pen.
What you should consider is how to mechanize pig farming.
The country has been advocating agricultural mechanization, think about it if you come up with a mechanized pig farming..." Zhang Junping smiled and clicked.
There is no need for a heavy hammer to play the drum. Let's see if Chen Fusheng can understand it.
"Nephew, tell Uncle Chen how to mechanize pig farming?" Chen Fusheng is a shrewd man, and he immediately understood the meaning of Zhang Junping's words.
There is definitely something going on in this matter. If we really mechanize pig farming, not to mention the advancement of the farm, we will be able to compete with the advancement of the city.
"If you want to mechanize pig farming, you must first study and understand the places that restrict the development of pig farms."
“There is not enough manpower, and the pig farms are already running at a loss. If we increase the number of pigs, everyone will be too busy.
Unless we can increase manpower."
"Isn't that clear? Then you can do more research on which tasks are most labor-intensive and what kind of machinery can be used to replace them. We don't have them in China, so you can figure it out yourself."
“When it comes to raising pigs, the most labor-intensive and time-consuming part is feeding and cleaning pig manure.
But if you think about a machine that can replace human power, you, nephew, are making things difficult for us.
I'm better than your dad, and I only know a few more words than your dad, but he's a big boss, and he can figure out the machinery for raising pigs!"
"Uncle Chen, this mechanical invention has nothing to do with literacy. It relies on unfettered imagination.
Before many inventions were invented, most people thought they were unreliable and just random ideas.
You can call together all the pig farmers to discuss together what methods can save labor and effort.
All I can say here is help you get what you need.
As for what you need specifically, it's up to you to figure it out carefully." Zhang Junping picked up the wine glass and touched it with Chen Fusheng again, ending the topic.
Zhang Junping has made it very clear. You can figure out what kind of machine you want, and I will help you get it. You can't ask me to help you think about it anymore, can you?
After seeing off Chen Fusheng, his parents and Zhang Junan were still very excited.
They are all thinking about what will happen after moving to the field department.
"Mom and Dad, let me tell you something. I'm going to help you with the errands of the Logistics Department and the Women's Federation."
"What? Does it affect you? Then push it away! I have been raising pigs for more than 20 years, and I am used to it. If I were not allowed to raise pigs, I would still not be used to it." Father Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then he said with a smile.
There was just a hint of disappointment in the corners of his eyes.
This trace of loss makes father's love seem so real.
No matter how much I want to go, if it involves my son, I still keep my thoughts deep inside.
"Dad, it's not what you think!" Zhang Junping said with a smile: "The logistics department is a good place, the work is not heavy, and the benefits are good.
But, dad.
You are illiterate and your eyesight is dark when you go to the logistics department. What can you do? You are also asked to be the team leader responsible for the supply of production materials.
Those people in the field department are smarter than monkeys if they touch their hair, don't let others trick you again!"
"It's true, then I won't go and will raise pigs at home!" Father Zhang nodded in agreement.
"Dad, don't worry first. I'm not saying I won't go to the field department. Of course we can't refuse people's kindness.
Instead of going to the logistics office, we can go somewhere else.
I'll talk to Nie Xinghua early tomorrow morning to see if there is a position that is more suitable for you and my mother.
As for Yuzhi, there is no problem in joining the trade union. Yuzhi also graduated from a high school. If she goes to the trade union to study more, she will have the opportunity to make progress in the future."
Upon hearing that he could go to work in the union, Zhao Yuzhi showed a happy smile on his face, "Brother, you have a lot of experience outside and have seen a lot. We will listen to you on what to do."
Zhang Junping secretly laughed in his heart, if I don't let you go to work in the union, can you still listen to me?
I think so, but I can't say it out loud.
Finally, his parents and Zhang Junan were comforted, and Zhang Junping secretly felt relieved.
I couldn't help but think, it would be better if this happened in eight or more years.
I simply asked my parents to contract the pig farm.
If you find a way to get a set of mechanized pig-raising equipment from abroad, it is still very promising to engage in large-scale breeding in the early stage of reform and opening up.
But now I can only think about it. Chinese people pay attention to the right time, place, and people when doing things. Now it is the wrong time.
Early the next morning, before dawn, my parents got up and the family went to the pig farm to get busy.
I'm going to visit my in-laws today, but I still have to feed the pigs.
After all, my parents haven't been transferred yet, so they have to work.
Clean the pig pen, first use a shovel to load the pig manure and push it away, then rinse the pig manure in the pig pen with a water pipe, and finally use a broom to sweep the water away.
This is the end of life.
After cleaning the pig pen, the next step is to mix the pig feed.
Zhang Junping and four people worked for more than an hour to mix the feed for one hundred pigs.
After feeding the pigs, it’s already half past seven in the morning.
When she got home, Zhao Yuzhi had already made breakfast.
The four of them worked hard, washed up, changed into new clothes, and then started to eat.
"Pingzi, do you smell the smell of pig manure on me?" Zhang's mother was a little nervous. During the meal, she asked Zhang Junping over and over again if she smelled of pig manure.
"No! You smell so good, it's all the scent of soap and shampoo." Zhang Junping held back his laughter and confirmed over and over again.
After dinner, the parents and Zhang Junan took their children to the intersection and took a bus into the city.
Zhang Junping's tricycle couldn't carry so many people, so he might as well use a bus instead.
There are buses from Hongxing Farm to the city, which run four times a day, which is very convenient.
"Mom and Dad, when you arrive, go wait for me at home first, and we'll go to the restaurant together." After Zhang Junping finished explaining, he got on his car and came to the field.
When he arrived at the field department, Zhang Junping went around the yard that Chen Fusheng mentioned.
The location is very good and the yard is well kept. You can move in immediately after moving here.
It was only half past eight at this time, and the field department had just gone to work.
Zhang Junping and Nie Xinghua walked into the office almost in tandem.
"Xiao Zhang, why are you here so early? Is there something wrong?"
"Uncle Nie, I won't talk in circles with you anymore. I heard that you are planning to transfer my dad to the logistics department to be the leader of the production and material supply team?" Zhang Junping asked straight to the point.
"Haha, Xiao Zhang, you are quite well-informed.
Yes, this is the case. I had a chat with Director Pan yesterday. No, I am preparing to issue the document today.
The keys will also be given to your parents." Nie Xinghua thought Zhang Junping was here to thank him, and said with a smile.
"Uncle Nie, is this your proposal or Director Pan's?" Zhang Junping asked calmly.
