Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

If we look at the business after the reform and opening up, it is natural to leave the fishing to the winter around the New Year, when the price will be higher.

But in this day and age, if you consider the economics, fishing now is the most cost-effective.

Even if there is a slight difference in the weight of each fish caught.

But because we now go through the supply and marketing cooperatives and the price remains the same all year round, we actually save on feed costs.

This is somewhat different from He Yuzhu's original design.

According to He Yuzhu's original idea, after winter, the fish will be caught and transferred to a warm greenhouse hatchery pond. Through oxygenation and high-density feeding, the fish can be fattened.

Of course, that is still He Yuzhu's ideal breeding method. It is unclear whether there will be death or damage due to lack of oxygen.

It is currently being managed by a unit under the education department, and their opinions should be the main consideration.

But since this achievement belongs to He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu naturally has to witness it.

If this thing can be successful, let alone promoting it nationwide, even if it is promoted in the surrounding areas of Beijing, He Yuzhu will have to be given a prominent place in the education field in the future.

According to later generations, this is the honor of having a separate page in the family tree.

Don't underestimate this kind of thing. Even in the 1990s, there were still many children who could not afford to go to school.

What about now?

For example, what do the elderly fight for? Isn't it just to have someone to rely on when they are old and to raise their children...

What He Yuzhu is doing now is the same as "providing children with adequate care" in a different way.

He Yuzhu was also willing to witness this kind of thing. It was easy and glorious. No matter how much he gained or how big a contribution he made, as long as he didn't make a loss on the surface, then He Yuzhu's time here was not in vain.

This does not conflict with He Yuzhu's focus on living his own life and protecting his wife and children.

As the ancients said, if you are poor, you should just take care of yourself.

So in the past, He Yuzhu only had to take care of his family.

But now that He Yuzhu is considered wealthy, he must leave something for society.

Teacher Xiao Qian, wearing work clothes, was guarding the intersection of the commune. He came to pick up He Yuzhu.

The clothes that Teacher Xiao Qian is wearing today mean that he is going to go to the pond to catch fish.

In fact, today all students in grades 3 and above are on holiday and doing collective labor.

The old principal didn't come because the leaders of the education department had already arrived at the pond.

Teacher Xiao Qian came on behalf of the local education department to welcome He Yuzhu, the "hero".

Lao Mo also knew Teacher Xiao Qian, and when he saw him standing on the side of the road, he pulled over.

He Yuzhu opened the car door and said with a smile, "I'm so honored to have Consultant Qian come to greet you in person."

Xiao Qian has a consultant title in a charity organization that invests in fish ponds. He has no salary and no rank; he is just a volunteer.

"I called your unit and they said you had been out for more than an hour. How did you get delayed on the road?" Teacher Xiao Qian rubbed his hands while squeezing into He Yuzhu's car.

In October in the city, some places are about to turn on the heating. You can imagine what the temperature is now.

In order to work, Teacher Xiao Qian did not wear thick clothes, so it was normal for him to suffer from the cold.

"You're not ashamed to say that your commune has made a lot of money in the past two years, right?
Don’t you know how to repair this dirt road?
You make tens of thousands of dollars in business every day, but you're just reluctant to bring some stones and lime to smooth the road?

I was willing to buy a tractor, but now the road to the city, which used to take half an hour, now takes an hour, and it makes my butt hurt."

"It's no use telling me about this. The commune secretary and director should be here today. You should talk to them. They may not listen to others, but they will definitely listen to you.

Also, why do you sound like you are showing off rather than complaining?
Oh, the kiln factory of the commune was also built with your suggestions, and this is also the credit of you, Director He." Teacher Xiao Qian explained seriously at first, but later he teased He Yuzhu.

He and He Yuzhu have been friends for many years. The key is that they have similar values ​​and no conflicts of interest, so He Yuzhu doesn't need to pretend in front of him.

"How are Teacher Qian and the others in good health?" He Yuzhu was naturally asking about Comrade Qian and his wife.

"My parents are the kind of people who can't sit still. After I came, they would watch over the fish pond every day.

Some time ago, my dad saved a student who was almost drowning.

Fortunately, he is the one who helped me, otherwise the old principal and I would have felt guilty for the rest of our lives." Xiao Qian still felt a little scared when he said this.

"What's going on? Aren't students not allowed to enter there?" He Yuzhu also became nervous.

If something like this really happens, it will be the biggest stain on the fish farming industry.

Whenever someone brings up this matter in the future, they will talk about the student drowning.

"They were indeed not allowed to enter. Every day, we would cut the grass for the fish and hand it in at the gate of the fish pond. But there were always some naughty boys who would sneak in, see the small boat in the fish pond, and jump on it.

After the incident, we specially arranged a teacher to lead the team and count the number of people entering and leaving every day. Teacher Xiao Qian said the solution.

The two chatted as they headed towards the fish pond.

He Yuzhu finally couldn't help but asked tentatively: "You are here every day, do you know the approximate yield of the fish pond?"

"Ha..." Teacher Qian couldn't help laughing. He laughed happily. When he had laughed enough, he said, "I thought you didn't care about this. After all this time, you still couldn't hold it back."

When He Yuzhu saw Xiao Qian smile, all the fear in his heart had disappeared.

As the initiator, He Yuzhu is a party with an interest.

Teacher Xiao Qian wants to achieve something in the future, so he is also a stakeholder.

If there were no fish in the fish pond, Teacher Qian would be looking very sad right now.

He Yuzhu touched his head and smiled bitterly: "If I didn't care, I wouldn't have come here today.

This is the thing that I really hope will succeed among all the things I have done.

Even if I don't get any benefit at all.'

Teacher Qian also put away his smile and said seriously, "It's the same, the old principal and I think so too.

It's those children who, even on Sundays and summer vacation, worry that the fish have nothing to eat, and they come on their own initiative to cut grass for the fish and catch snails, just to give the fish more bites.

Don’t worry, we have all checked it out, and we have also asked experienced fishermen to check it out.

The estimated yield per mu is 400 kilograms, no less than 100 kilograms.”

"So many?!" He Yuzhu was also surprised.

"I'm still underestimating it." Teacher Qian said complacently.

As mentioned earlier, the breeding method currently used in fish ponds can be considered a preliminary semi-fine breeding method.

With this kind of breeding method, the yield per mu in the south can be over 400 to 500 kilograms.

In the north, due to objective factors such as temperature, He Yuzhu originally thought that if he could reach 300 kilograms, he would be considered a success.

Today, it can only be said to be quite successful. (End of this chapter)
