Daily Life of Pig Farming in 1970

76

The group walked and chatted along the way and soon arrived at the pigsty.

　　Su Yaoyun wanted to ask about the recent growth of the grass when he heard Old Yan's surprised voice.

　　"Wow, how can this pig be so big? Is it really three months old? I guess it must be almost 150 kilograms, right?"

　　"The legs are not short. If it weren't for the black skin, I would have suspected that it was our native black pig."

　　Mr. Shen was also shocked by the group of pigs. He leaned on the fence with his hands and stared in amazement.

　　It's no wonder that the two were so surprised. Not only were there a large number of pigs in Sujia Village, but each one looked very lively, with even and shiny fur.

　　Most importantly, they are also huge in size, and to the naked eye they are one-third larger than the Landrace pigs of the same period.

　　Old Yan was shocked, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, he walked towards Old Shen, stretched out his hand to hold his shoulder, patted him and said: "What's wrong? Are you dumbfounded?"

　　"These pigs look better than the ones you took good care of in Province H."

　　There was no truth in what Mr. Yan said. Ever since the outbreak of swine tuberculosis, Ji Bo had paid special attention to these pigs.

　　They were treated to delicious food and drinks every day, and even cleaned the pigsty every morning and evening, using the freshest pig grass.

　　Even Mr. Shen couldn't stop Ji Bo who was working extremely hard.

　　Therefore, many people jokingly said that Ji Bo raised a group of ancestors.

　　Ji Bo and Feng Lin, who followed behind, blushed a little at these words. They pretended not to hear Mr. Yan's ridicule and looked around the pig.

　　Anyway, this pig was raised by Yaoyun, so if we round it off, it can be considered as raised by them.

　　Mr. Shen was silent for a moment. Instead, he shifted his gaze away from the pigs and observed the pig house inch by inch.

　　Experts look at the details, while laymen just watch the show. He would not argue with old man Yan who is only good at talking nonsense, which would lose face!

　　Then I discovered that the decoration of the pig house was intentional, the slope of the ground, the placement of the pig trough...

　　The growth of these pigs was obviously beyond Su Yaoyun's expectations. She wanted to observe them closely, but was stopped by Su Da.

　　"Don't you know what's going on with you? Stand here obediently and ask me if you want to know. I've been eating and living with them for the past few months, and they are no closer to me than I am. It's no exaggeration to say that when they stick out their butts, I know what they're going to fart about."

　　Su Yaoyun exclaimed and looked at Su Da with disbelief in his eyes.

　　Suda was a little embarrassed and scratched his head, saying, "The pigs in our village are strong and plump, and there are quite a few of them. I was worried that someone might be watching them, so I came to keep watch."

　　Su Yaoyun now finally understood why Su Ming had secretly asked her to find ways to get two pigs from Su Da.

　　From this point of view, it would be extremely difficult to snatch the pig from Suda.

　　After walking around, Mr. Shen happened to hear Suda's words and praised: "No wonder your pigs are so well raised, you put in a lot of effort, we are not as good as you."
