Chapter 274 Gift to Comrade Yang Xiaotao

"...Come on, ahem!"

Under the smog, the two old men sat opposite each other.

The speaker spoke with a Xiangtan accent, holding a newspaper, and couldn't put it down.

"Smoking less, listen to the doctor!"

Subei accent was full of concern.

"Hey, it won't work, I can't leave this cigarette, I can't leave it!"

"Have you read this article?"

"Look, speaking of it, the work is still not in place. This article was published three years ago. Unfortunately, it is only now..."

"Yeah, the construction still needs to be strengthened, otherwise this kind of real gold will be treated as dirt lumps in front of you."

"Yes, we are making a plan, but the investment in funds is still not enough!"

"No matter how poor you are, you have to do it!"

The old man picked up a new cigarette and was about to light it with the butt, but seeing the exhaustion on the face of the old comrade opposite him, he snuffed out the butt again.

"You, take care of your body, don't overwhelm your body, where will I find it then?"

"Hey, the people are suffering! Last time I asked about the construction of the old district, here, the average per capita is less than ten yuan, and the output of one mu of land is not even one hundred catties. In those years, we came here eating millet. In my heart, it hurts..."

The old man put the cigarette under his nose, and scenes from the past appeared before his eyes...

After a long time, I laughed.

"There are always more solutions than difficulties. Look, isn't this the solution?"

As he spoke, he raised the newspaper in his hand.

"This is a big killer. Whether you can find good things in exchange depends on the three-inch tongue of comrades!"

"Haha, this is beating local tyrants!"

"It really makes you right, aren't those guys just local tyrants? Beat their flesh and blood to nourish us, just to settle accounts and collect interest!"

"Hahaha"

"By the way, this kid gave me a problem?"

"Oh? Tell me, what's going on with this kid!"

"The Academy of Agricultural Sciences wants him to go, but the rolling mill won't let him go. In the end, the quarrel came to the respective leaders. Two people who are almost a hundred years old are fighting with me. The level of excitement is not much worse than the war in the past..."

"Hahaha, Lao Tao and Lao Xia? These two bumped into each other again? What happened in the end!"

"I asked about the specific situation. Speaking of which, Comrade Yang Xiaotao is an all-rounder.

Not only did Yangcun No. [-], which is the name of the corn, but also an eighth-level fitter, and repaired four rolling mills, even the machines in the machine repair shop can be repaired. For this reason, the machine repair shop also built a pig, which is more interesting. What’s more, this pig is pregnant…”

As the old man said, the old man on the side raised his head with a smile, as if he was relieved to hear how promising his junior was.

"Then how did you solve it in the end?"

"I checked, and this comrade still means that he is in the rolling mill. As for the breeding, in his words, it is good luck! As long as the technology is handed over to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, there is no problem at all."

"luck?"

"Yes, the appearance of Yangcun No. [-] is indeed due to luck. Comrades from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences made an analysis. Comrade Yang Xiaotao happened to find suitable parents, and thus completed the breeding in a short period of time."

"So, we decided to keep him working at the rolling mill."

"However, Comrade Yang Xiaotao's contribution is outstanding, and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences will give him the status of a clerk!"

"Well, luck is also a part of strength, so don't underestimate it!"

"The matter of the experimental area has been finalized?"

"Well, it's around Yangjiazhuang, the specific situation is left to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences..."

The two talked again, and finally the old man got up and came to the desk, looking at the pen and ink in front of him, "I heard that this kid likes to read!"

"I have a copy of "The Complete Works of Lu Xun" here. Bring it to him for me!"

At the end, I remembered something, picked up the brush, and left five words on the blank space on the title page.

"Serve the people—gift to Comrade Yang Xiaotao!"

He took the book and said with a smile, "This is probably the heaviest gift!"

"It's not serious, it's just a few words..."

Yangjiazhuang, brigade headquarters.

Fatty Ding happily introduced the leaders sent by his superiors. In front of him were the village chiefs and captains of the three villages of Yangjiazhuang, Gaojiacun and Baima Village.

Several people were called suddenly, saying that there was a task from above.

"This is Director Wang! There is something to announce this time, everyone warmly welcomes..."

Bang bang bang bang
Director Wang looked amiable, and he didn't talk nonsense, so he finished the matter.

When Fatty Ding sent Director Wang away, the heads of the three villages congratulated Yang Dazhuang.

"Old Yang, we are convinced that you are the head of this district. From now on, our three villages will become one, so you can't favor one over another!"

As Wang Xuyang said, several people nodded, while Yang Dazhuang became serious, "The superior trusts us, so he gave us this heavy burden!"

"I, Yang Dazhuang, make a statement. I will definitely complete the task and never let down the trust of my superiors!"

Several people immediately expressed their views, all supporting the superior's decision.

After several village leaders returned to the village, the people in the surrounding villages immediately exploded.

Yangjiazhuang, Gaojiazhuang and Baima Village will form an experimental area to specialize in planting corn and be responsible for the breeding of Yangcun No. [-].

Farmers in the experimental area no longer hand in surplus grain, and the harvested grain seeds will be exchanged for grain crops in the same proportion.

Yang Dazhuang, the village head of Yangjiazhuang, served as the head of the district, and Ding Fatty, the grain station, served as the new director of the town's grain management office.

Troops will be stationed around the experimental area to protect the security. At the same time, the three villages will join forces, Yang Dazhuang will be the captain of the militia, and Pan Jianjun will be the deputy captain.

As soon as the news came out, the people in the three villages were overjoyed. There is no need to pay food, and every household has surplus food!
The other surrounding villages are jealous with envy, especially in the nearby villages, some people even ask if they can move in.

Those who can't move in also think about which young man doesn't have a daughter-in-law, so they directly send a matchmaker to talk about marriage, and marry the daughter in no matter what.

In the evening, at Yang Xiaotao's house, several people surrounded the table and celebrated happily.

Yang Xiaotao originally wanted to go back to Forty-Nine City and had to go to work tomorrow, but there were a lot of things going on in Yangjiazhuang, and some things still needed his participation, so he planned to stay one more night and go back tomorrow morning.

In the house, Yang Xiaotao picked up the wine bottle. This was the last bottle of wine in the house, but Mr. Yang was not stingy, probably because today is a big day, a big day for their Yangjiazhuang.

Yang Xiaotao gave everyone a hand, "Grandfather, please say something!"

Mr. Yang looked at the people in the room, many of them were old people in the village, and there were also the leaders of Yang Dazhuang and Yang Shitou's villages.

"Okay. Let me say a few words!"

Everyone is holding wine cups.

"As for us, today we are happy, so happy!"

"But after being happy, it is a responsibility, a burden, and a task!"

"Our Yangjiazhuang must complete the task if we can receive it. No one is allowed to retreat, and no one can be a coward!"

"it is good!"

"Yes!"

"Don't worry, my lord, there are no cowards in Yangjiazhuang..."

Everyone said, Yang Xiaotao also guaranteed, he is also a member of Yangjiazhuang.

The fallen leaves return to their roots, and after a hundred years, he will also be buried on this land.

"it is good!"

"Cheers to victory!"

"cheers!"

More than a dozen wine cups collided with each other, and then suffocated in one gulp.

There are not many dishes on the table, but it can't stop everyone's enthusiasm for a better future.

"Da Zhuang, although the country exempts us from the public surplus food, we can't eat for free, let alone waste it. You have to explain to the villagers that we must work hard and plainly, not waste it, let alone have any thoughts of superiority. Be down-to-earth Hard work is our duty..."

Mr. Yang continued to speak, Yang Dazhuang and others nodded in their hearts.

In the hall, Yang Shitou's family was hugging their son and talking to Ran Qiuye, and there was Yang Dazhuang's family next to them, and several women surrounded the pot and talked about homework.

"Xiao Tao's daughter-in-law, when will you get married?"

"Sister-in-law, it's eleven!"

"Oh, it's almost time. After you get married, you have to have a baby. Women, you have to have a baby as soon as possible..."

A few people were talking, Ran Qiuye nodded with a blushing face, and outside, Wangcai stood by the pigsty and suddenly barked.

After hearing this, Ran Qiuye immediately ran to the pigpen to have a look, and then yelled, "Xiaotao, come on, come on, the little pig is ready."

Yang Xiaotao was talking with Yang Dazhuang, explaining some management experience, the table was lively, when he heard Ran Qiuye's voice, he immediately stood up and ran out.

"What's wrong?"

"Go and see the little pig!"

Ran Qiuye flashlighted, Yang Xiaotao ran over immediately, and only took a look. There was a palm-length pink and black piglet lying behind the sow's buttocks. The afterbirth on her body hadn't come off yet. Piggy's breath.

"Quick, get rags and scissors, and string."

Yang Xiaotao said immediately, got up and came to the pigsty.

This was not uncommon in the countryside in my previous life, and I am no stranger to it. Although it is the first time I have done it, compared to the villagers, I am already experienced!

Mr. Yang hurriedly asked someone to prepare things, "Xiaotao, can you? No, go to Baima Village to find old man Liu. He has worked as a veterinarian. Maybe he can!"

Yang Dazhuang also nodded at the side, looking into the pigsty with a nervous expression.

They are all good at working and fighting in Yangjiazhuang, but they really can't find anyone other than Yang Shitou, the second-in-command, to take care of the animals.

"It's okay, I'll do it!"

Yang Xiaotao has already taken the scissors, holding a rag in his hand.

"Stone, come in and help!"

Yang Shitou outside heard this, and immediately walked in. This is a good opportunity to learn!
The people around didn't have any objection after hearing it. Although they all wanted to find an opportunity for their children, but when the opportunity came, they had to grasp it.

Yang Shitou went in, and Yang Xiaotao said to Yang Dazhuang, "It's a bit cold here, let's set up a brazier to illuminate it."

Yang Dazhuang immediately sent someone to set up a brazier.

Yang Xiaotao taught Yang Shitou, "This is the umbilical cord. The piglet has come out and needs to be cut!"

Yang Xiaotao went down with the scissors, blood dripped down, "Tie up quickly!"

Yang Shitou picked up the end of the thread and tied it immediately.

Then Yang Xiaotao wiped the piglet clean with a rag, especially the inside of the pig's mouth, so as not to block the airway.

At this moment, the little pig was already moving and humming in its nose. Mr. Yang and the others outside immediately found a basket with hay in it, and Yang Xiaotao carefully put it in.

Afterwards, several people waited together.

Because this sow is the first litter, the delivery was not smooth.

Only three babies were born in the middle of the night, so I don't need to sleep tonight at this rate.

Yang Shitou asked Yang Xiaotao to go to the house to rest for a while. He has almost credits. This is about being careful, and then comforting the sow so that it does not move around. Yang Shitou has experience in this.

Yang Xiaotao was also sleepy, so he told Yang Shitou that he must wake him up if something happened, and then he went back to the house and lay down to rest.

Ran Qiuye was also drowsy and didn't sleep well, but she knew that she couldn't disturb Yang Xiaotao's rest, so she reached out and rubbed Yang Xiaotao's temples to relieve his fatigue.

In another room, Grandpa Yang's eyes were red, looking at the three little pigs in the crate, he reached out to touch them from time to time, and he didn't dislike the smell in the room, his whole body became excited.
