60s: I have a store

Chapter 359 Chicken Farming Pioneer
"Guo Huai, how many places do you think are appropriate?"

If there are too many, it would be inappropriate. Now the number of people building the canal is basically saturated. If we rashly add a lot of people, it would not be appropriate.

"Twenty people should be more appropriate," Lin Guohuai replied.

Director Huang also nodded. Twenty people were still within the permitted range.

Then he asked someone to prepare the silk banners. The commune still had a lot of "stock" of silk banners, so they were ready in a short time.

Zhou Daming was preparing to lead his men into the mountains to catch wild rabbits. He happened to see Zhou Yimin and asked, "Uncle Sixteen, we are going into the mountains to catch wild rabbits. Do you want to go?"

When Zhou Yimin heard this, he immediately became interested. Although he had eaten a lot of rabbit meat, this was his first time catching a wild rabbit.

"Go, let's go now?"

Zhou Daming replied: "Yes! Look, we have everything ready."

Zhou Yimin saw that the preparations were quite complete. Traps and cages were all ready, and they also had a gun with them. If they encountered any large wild animals, they could kill them and have them as a snack.

Soon Zhou Yimin followed Zhou Daming and others into the mountains.

The old branch secretary saw this and knew he couldn't stop Zhou Yimin: "Be sure to pay attention to safety!"

Although it is winter now and many large wild animals hibernate, there are always exceptions.

"Don't worry, old branch secretary. We are here to ensure Uncle Sixteen's safety." Zhou Daming promised, patting his chest.

"Okay, you go!"

Soon, the group went into the mountains in a mighty procession.

"Daming, do you want me to help you get something?"

Zhou Daming quickly said, "Uncle Sixteen, no, I don't need your help with this little thing!"

After hearing this, Zhou Yimin did not continue to force it, thinking that no matter what he said, he would not be allowed to take it.

Heavy snow was floating in the sky, the ground was covered in silver, and the north wind was biting. Although Zhou Yimin and his companions kept walking, their feet were frozen stiff. The wheat seedlings in the field became popsicles and would break if they were not touched carefully.

The snow was falling heavily, and the endless fields became a sea of ​​snow. The deeper snow reached up to the knees, making it very difficult for everyone to walk.

Fortunately, Zhoujiazhuang is so "rich and powerful", otherwise if it were other villages, they would not allow people to go into the mountains to hunt. The weather is so cold that it takes a lot of calories to resist the cold, not to mention going into the mountains to hunt, which consumes even more calories.

It would be fine if he could hunt the prey, but if he fails by accident, he will have to eat a lot to make up for the consumption since he has consumed so much.

Zhou Yimin felt very cold and it was inconvenient for him to walk, but he was very happy to be in the vast snow. Fortunately, his "resistance" to snow has increased a lot during this period, otherwise he might just lie on the snow and roll around happily.

Soon someone found the rabbit's footprints on the snow and said excitedly: "I found the rabbit's tracks."

Then follow the footprints left by the rabbit and go to the rabbit's nest to see if you can catch all the rabbits in the nest.

I can only say that my luck was not so good and I soon reached the end of the footprints.

Zhou Daming reached in and dug around, but there was only an empty hole left; the rabbit had already left.

“No rabbit was found inside.”

Everyone was a little disappointed.

Zhou Yimin saw it and said: "We have just started. I believe we can definitely catch a rabbit."

Sure enough, after Zhou Yimin's encouragement, everyone regained their morale and continued to move deeper into the mountain. At this time, Director Huang brought Lin Guohuai to Zhoujiazhuang.

The security team at the entrance of the village spotted a tractor coming towards them, but when they saw an "acquaintance" named Lin Guohuai sitting on it, they did not stop it.

"Technician Lin, are you still coming to see the old Party Secretary?"

Lin Guohuai replied at this time: "That's right."

After hearing this, the other person ran to the village to look for the old branch secretary.

After a while, I found the old branch secretary and told him the situation.

When the old branch secretary heard that there was a tractor coming, he knew it must be the leader of the commune. In order not to neglect the leader, he quickly walked towards the village entrance.

When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we saw a middle-aged man standing next to Lin Guohuai. He was wearing a military coat. Since there were no buttons, we could still see the Zhongshan suit underneath.

The old Party Secretary suddenly remembered that this was Director Huang from the commune. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Director Huang, why didn't you tell me you were coming so that I could welcome you properly?"

"Secretary Zhou, you don't have to be so polite. This is not the way to do things now."

"I came here this time to thank your village for its contribution, and I specially gave you a banner. Also, is Zhou Yimin from your village here?"

The reason he came here this time was also to get closer to Zhou Yimin. After all, there was such a capable person under his jurisdiction.

"Director Huang, you came at an untimely time. Yimin just went into the mountains with the villagers to catch wild rabbits, and we don't know when he will be back." The old branch secretary hurriedly explained.

If they had been notified earlier, this kind of scene would not have occurred. Otherwise, Zhou Yimin would have been stopped and not allowed to enter the mountain just as he was entering.

Director Huang was a little disappointed when he heard this. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that Zhou Yimin happened to go into the mountains. However, he didn't have that much time to wait, so he said, "This banner is for your village. Also, when the commune repairs the canal, can you send 20 more people to help?"

After saying this, he gave a look. When Lin Guohuai saw it, he quickly took the banner down from the tractor.

Director Huang took it and handed it to the old branch secretary with a serious face.

The old branch secretary was very excited when he saw the four big words "Chicken Raising Pioneer" written on the banner.

This is a silk banner, which you don't usually have the chance to receive. Moreover, in this era when reputation is very important, it is even more precious. Moreover, it was sent by a high-ranking official.

However, when the old branch secretary heard that there were 20 more vacancies for the construction of a canal, there were already so many things to do in the village, so how could he find people to help build the canal?

If this opportunity had come in the past, he would have been very happy. Now the village is not short of this kind of people, so it would be better to leave more people in the village to help.

Moreover, the food in the village is better than that in the commune. I have heard this from the villagers of Shuangtian Village before.

The people in that village didn't want to go even more.

But we have to accept it, because it is a reward from the leaders. Also, the village cannot be too prominent, otherwise it will be bad if other villages come to borrow grain.

"Thank you very much." The old branch secretary still pretended to be grateful.

Director Huang was also very satisfied when he saw the old branch secretary’s grateful face. It seems that it is not a bad idea to listen to your nephew sometimes!

"It's okay, you deserve this."

Then the old branch secretary took Director Huang to visit the chicken hatchery, and it was indeed similar to what he remembered in his notes.
