The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 79
"Who should I look for to see chicken diseases? I don't think the technicians Xiao Zhao and Xiao Liu from the Animal Husbandry Bureau know much about chicken diseases." Wang Fumin frowned and asked Wang Shaodong.

Wang Shaodong hurriedly took out Zhang Xueting's business card from his pocket and said, "Before I came back, I met a professor from the Agricultural University, who is a famous poultry expert in our Qilu Province. You must be looking for her. Dad, hurry up and grab a few chickens and release them." In the woven bag, I will take the sick chicken to Professor Zhang for an autopsy."

Wang Fumin was surprised that his son could still recognize the professor of the Agricultural University, so he nodded his head and followed his son's instructions.

But Wang Shaodong hurried to the house, planning to call Zhang Xueting first.In case Zhang Xueting accompanied her father and cousin to climb Mount Tai, it would be troublesome if she went there by herself.

Soon, the call is connected.

"Professor Zhang, I am Xiao Wang from just now."

"Xiao Wang, what's the situation with your chickens now?"

"The situation is quite troublesome, and I don't know very well. I want to go to your clinic now and bring some sick chickens for you to look at. I wonder if Professor Zhang is still at the clinic?"

"You don't need to come. I'm on my way to Luzhong City now. After two and a half hours, you pick me up at Lianhuachi Village, Yanzhuang Town. I'll go directly to your farm to have a look."

"That's great, then I'll find a car and wait for you now."

Wang Shaodong guessed that Zhang Xueting probably sent her father home and then helped her see the disease of their chickens.

As for himself, he happened to be in the light.

Wang Shaodong didn't dare to neglect, and hurried to the chicken coop to tell his father about the situation.

After Wang Fumin heard his son's words, he hurriedly said, "How can I find a car to pick him up?"

"Just look for the van of Liu Erzhuzi in our village."

Wang Fumin was stunned for a moment, then looked at his son and asked, "A van is fine?"

Wang Shaodong thought, Dad, didn't you also use Liu Erzhuzi's van to pick up people in your previous life?
Wang Shaodong nodded, and then said to Wang Fumin, "OK."

Then, Wang Shaodong turned around and ran to Liu Erzhuzi's house at the head of the village.

Liu Erzhuzi in the village has a van, which is rented out in the surrounding villages. It is very convenient for anyone in the village to use it when there is something to do.However, this kind of black taxi gradually lost its market due to the government's crackdown and the popularity of private cars.

Wang Shaodong felt that it was indeed necessary to buy a car for his family.

The dirt road was bumpy, and Liu Erzhuzi drove the van for nearly an hour to Lianhuachi Village, and then directly found Zhang Lianhai's chicken farm.

I have to say that Zhang Lianhai's chicken farm is much simpler than his own. The frame is made of bamboo. If there is a strong wind, the stability of the entire greenhouse will be affected.

However, there are not many strong winds in the mountains, so there is no need to worry too much about this problem.

Before Zhang Xueting and the others came back, Wang Shaodong asked Liu Erzhuzi to park the car outside the gate of Zhang Lianhai's chicken farm alone, and then he walked in with a box of eight-treasure porridge and a basket of eggs by himself.

"Is Uncle Zhang at home?"

A rural woman in her 50s greeted her from inside. Wang Shaodong guessed that this should be Zhang Lianhai's wife.

"Are you...?"

Zhang Lianhai's daughter-in-law frowned as she looked at Wang Shaodong and the things in his hand.

"Oh, it's Mrs. Zhang. I'm a chicken farmer in Dazhai Village. I just called your daughter Zhang Xueting and asked her to take care of our chickens. They are on the way now and will be back soon."

When Zhang Lianhai's daughter-in-law understood, she hurriedly said with a smile: "It turns out that you are also a chicken farmer, and you are still with us. Look at you, young man, if you have anything to do, you can just come directly to my daughter. Why do you still bring things? "

Wang Shaodong smiled and handed the things to Zhang Lianhai's daughter-in-law, and then said: "Ma'am, it's the first time I see you old man, it looks good with empty hands, and you should."

"The young man is quite good at talking, go talk in the house."

When the two of them arrived at the house, Liu Erzhuzi parked the car and followed him in. Zhang Lianhai's daughter-in-law ordered the tea, and then the three chatted.

Wang Shaodong was a little anxious because he missed the chickens at home.

After about half an hour, a shabby-looking Santana drove directly into the yard, and then Zhang Xueting and Zhang Lianhai got out of the car.

Then, Zhang Xueting said a few words to the driver, and the car turned around and drove away.

Zhang Lianhai waved happily when he saw Wang Shaodong coming out of the room.

Zhang Xueting nodded slightly at Wang Shaodong, and then said, "Wait a minute, I'll take a look inside our chicken coop."

Because they are also chicken farmers, Wang Shaodong did not go to Zhang Lianhai's chicken coop, fearing that the virus and bacteria in their chicken coop would be brought to their home.

A few minutes later, Zhang Lianhai and the others came out of the chicken coop, saw Wang Shaodong standing in the yard, and hurried over.

"Young man, my daughter said that your diagnosis is correct. Our chickens are indeed suffering from coccidiosis, but the problem is not too serious, and the casualties can be kept to a minimum."

"That's great, sir. Professor Zhang, we don't know what's wrong with our chickens, so hurry up and help us have a look."

Zhang Xueting nodded: "Okay, how do we go, are we taking the car at the door?"

"Yes." Liu Erzhuzi hurriedly raised his hand.

Seeing that his daughter was about to leave just after returning home, Zhang Lianhai's daughter-in-law ran out of the house in a hurry: "Why do you have to leave after sitting for a while?"

"Our daughter is going to show people the chicken disease, and come home to eat at night."

"Go home for dinner? That's good, then I have to get ready to go."

Wang Shaodong opened the car door for Zhang Xueting, helped her get into the car, and then got into the car himself.Liu Erzhuzi's driving skills were very slick, and he drove very fast on the bumpy dirt road.

Wang Shaodong didn't ask, but he murmured in his heart that Wang Meina didn't come back with them.

When they arrived at the gate of Wang Shaodong's farm in Taohualing Village, Wang Shaodong and the others happened to meet Wang Fumin who came out to have a look.

"Dad, this is Professor Zhang."

After a brief introduction, Wang Shaodong and the others went straight into the caged chicken coop.

Walking into the chicken coop, Zhang Xueting looked at the weak chickens in the cage, frowned, looked down at the feed trough, and then pointed to and asked, "What are these white things?"

"It seems to be salt."

Zhang Xueting nodded, then picked up a little bit of feed and tasted it lightly, then grabbed a chicken from the cage and observed it, then went to the inner chicken coop to have a look, and randomly checked a few chickens. After the chicken was sick, he hurriedly turned his head and said to Wang Fumin: "Hurry up and go to the veterinary station to buy a box of 25% magnesium sulfate injection, and prepare to give injections to all the chickens."

"What's wrong with these chicks?"

"Salt poisoning."

Wang Shaodong didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly asked Liu Erzhuzi to drive him to buy magnesium sulfate.
