Daily Life of Pig Farming in 1970

7

　　"Yaoyun, the herbal seeds we bought have arrived. Take a look."

　　After Su Yaoyun bred his own pigs, he pulled Su Jingwei aside that day to ask what Chinese herbal medicines they were in short supply. He even went to the county pharmacy to investigate. He finally decided on several types of medicinal materials and then went to the village chief to discuss setting up a supply and marketing cooperative to sell herbal medicines together.

　　The village chief was already worried about food.

　　After Yaoyun proposed it, the village committee immediately convened a vote. The result was obvious. Everyone knew that the harvest was not good, so they might as well try their best to gain hope.

　　He took a handful of seeds and looked at them in his palm, wondering, "Village Chief, did you buy all these? These seeds are a little shriveled."

The village chief also stretched out his rough, dark hands and took a handful of seeds to look at them. His face was solemn. "Huang Youzhi bought them. He told me that it took him a lot of effort to find these seeds. It cost a lot of money."

　　Hearing this name, Su Yaoyun's eyebrows jumped, and he looked at Su Ming and Su Jingwei. Last time, when they found that the pigs at home were not right, the three of them asked who purchased the pigs for the village. They learned that the village's collective purchases were basically handled by the accountant Huang Youzhi, who was Guo Yusha's husband.

　　After the three of them looked at each other, they were once again certain that there was definitely something wrong with Huang Youzhi, but they didn't know how much money he had made from the affair.

　　"Are all these seeds useless?" The village chief was a smart man. Seeing the poor quality of the seeds, he guessed that there was something wrong with Huang Youzhi. It was also because he was old and had difficulty managing the people below him. It seemed that the election of a village chief should be done quickly.

　　"Village chief, please let me prepare the seedlings first, so that we can grow them when the time comes."

　　Now that the money has been paid and we have no evidence, we can't do anything to the person for now. We'll wait for a chance and then slowly deal with that family.

　　On this day, the village chief organized the distribution of herbal seedlings to people in the village committee. "Don't crowd together. Whoever is called should go."

　　"Yao Yun will also tell you how to grow these herbs in a while."

　　The villagers below sighed when they heard this and shouted, "Village Chief, we are all farmers and we all know how to grow crops. Why do we need to listen to a little girl like Yaoyun?"

　　Upon hearing this, the village chief threw the book in his hand down and said, "Liu Wu, do you know how to be humble? Yao Yun is a college student and he must know more than us."

　　The people around him burst into laughter, leaving Liu Wu alone rubbing his head in pain.

　　Guo Yusha and Huang Youzhi saw from a distance that the villagers were happily taking the herbal seedlings home to grow, and asked with some concern: "Boss, are we really not going to plant them?"

　　Huang Youzhi snorted and laughed, "No, let them laugh now, they will cry someday."

　　He walked slowly on the road, greeting every villager passing by, looking like a simple and honest man.

　　Suddenly, a little kid about five or six years old came running over in a pair of worn-out slippers, crying loudly: "Mom! Mom! Something bad has happened!"
