Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

Chapter 150 Homeless, Sun Daoist Settles Down
"Third brother, should we still follow the old rules and slaughter the pig before the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

The Mid-Autumn Festival was not far away, and Zheng Hu then asked Fang Wei about his plans for the festival.

"No need to wait. We'll kill the pig tomorrow and divide the ducks as well."

Fang Wei was worried that the night would be too long and would bring more trouble, so he decided to kill 12 pigs tomorrow and distribute 300 ducks to the members.

The ducks have been harvested this year. The 2000 or so ducks have started to consume feed, and it is not cost-effective to keep them raising them.

"Okay! I'll arrange it right away."

Zheng Hu turned and left the team headquarters, found his second brother Zheng Bao, and then went to find Fang Ping and his fifth uncle.

We all went to the pig farm and selected 12 big fat pigs, and started slaughtering them at dawn.

As for the ducks, it was easy. The registration work was handed over to Mr. Fang, and the members were allowed to go to [Poultry House No. 2] to pick them up.

[Produces piglets, points +3672]

[Produces Mallard, points +1200]

Total points: 500159.

There are 153 pigs left on the farm.

"Captain Zheng, why are we distributing meat earlier this year during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Whether it's earlier or later, the meat you eat is still going into your stomach, not the dog's. Why are there so many reasons?"

Zheng Hu presided over the meat distribution. Some members felt that the meat was distributed too early this year. Zheng Hu's response caused laughter.

Now no one asked anymore. The man just now was just greedy. It was good enough to have meat to eat. Where did so much come from?

This time, each person can get an average of 12 kilograms of pork, which will definitely satisfy everyone's appetite.

In addition, every family has at least one duck, and those with a large population may have several. The ducks can be kept and eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival to make fried blood duck.

"Third brother, why are you in such a hurry to divide the meat?"

night.

The family cooked meat, and the two brothers sat together with their family and ate with their mouths drooling.

Fang Ping was also very curious why the pig was slaughtered early this year. In previous years, the meat was only distributed before the Spring Festival.

"Nothing, I just want to eat meat, just in time to give Lotus some nourishment."

Fang Wei couldn't explain why, but the reason might be that he lacked a sense of security.

The coal mine incident is just a prelude, who knows what will happen next?

Fang Ping took a sip of wine and stopped asking questions.

He still had a certain degree of understanding of his third brother. If the other party didn't want to talk, there was no point in asking.

the next day.

The team called on members to harvest peanuts grown on dry land and sloping land. The total output was 71500 jin, with an average yield of 650 jin per mu.

[Harvesting crops, points +71500, total points: 571659 points.]

Everyone continued their efforts and planted tobacco in the vacant dry land (slope land).

The tobacco flue-curing task is 80 mu, and the extra 30 mu has been approved by the commune and can be produced and sold by the commune itself.

Fang Wei sometimes thinks that the self-sufficient economic model is also good. Rice, vegetables, cooking oil, chicken, duck, pork, bean products, etc. are all provided by himself.

In addition, the flue-cured tobacco grown can be made into shredded tobacco, which smokers can purchase from the team.

People brew their own wine and drink it themselves. In the past two years, some people even brew a small amount of rice wine.

Apart from industrial products, there is no other way. Even when you are sick, you can take Chinese medicine, and the herbs are also collected in the mountains.

It was a little difficult to get clothes, but the state would issue cloth coupons to members every year.

Unfortunately, there are too few wealthy production teams like Team 2. If Fang Wei hadn't developed high-yield rice seeds, we wouldn't be able to live the life we have now.

This morning.

Jiang Yufen suddenly came to the second team to find Fang Wei.

"Sister Yufen, I thought you weren't coming this year. Tell me, how many ducks do you want to buy for the holiday?"

Fang Wei thought the other party was here to buy ducks, so he asked with a smile before the other party could speak.

"I won't buy it this year, to avoid being criticized. Alas, everyone is very cautious now, afraid of doing something wrong and being caught."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yufen shook her head and decided not to buy the duck.

She came here purely to chat with Fang Wei. The office had been so noisy these days that she felt annoyed.

"You don't have to be so cautious. How about this? You buy two ducks and I'll have someone pack them for you. Then you can take them back quietly without anyone knowing."

It was impossible for Fang Wei to give away collective property for free, but it was no problem for him to help pack up the ducks.

During this period, some ambitious and thoughtful people in various units jumped out, making the situation chaotic.

No wonder Jiang Yufen, who has always been carefree, has become cautious.

"Thank you then!"

Jiang Yufen did not refuse. She still trusted Fang Wei, otherwise she would not have come today.

Later, Fang Wei went to the poultry house to explain.

Jiang Yufen went to the team to pay the money. Fang Yunying helped her process the duck, and then wrapped it tightly and took it away.

Fang Wei was thinking about a problem. This Mid-Autumn Festival, the coal mine would definitely not come to buy pigs and ducks, and the cement factory might not come either. What should the team do with so many ducks and pigs?
Of course, you can also sell it at a purchasing station, but the price will be lower, and if you encounter an inspector who is difficult to talk to, the grade may be lowered.

"Third brother, you're just blinded by the light. The production teams in our brigade are no longer what they used to be. Which production team doesn't have some accumulation?"

Then he went to ask Zheng Hu, and Zheng Hu gave him an idea.

Rather than giving benefits to others, it is better to give benefits to our own people. We can ask Secretary Zheng to ask other production teams.

Some production teams did not do well in their side businesses. Apart from completing the pig-raising task, they would at most slaughter a few pigs during the Chinese New Year, and there was no trace of meat at other times.

Fang Weiyi thought so too, so he took the time to go to the brigade to find Zheng Xianfa.

"Little ancestor, please calm down. Let me tell you, at the recent county meeting, not only was Xu Guangsheng criticized, but even Comrade Tang Ze made a self-criticism at the cadre meeting.

Some people say they only care about production and don't do other things well, and they don't even have room to defend themselves."

Zheng Xianfa looked worried, as if the situation had reversed overnight.

He asked Fang Wei to keep a low profile and rather sell the pigs to the purchasing station than do anything unnecessary.

Fang Wei returned to the team with a lot of anger and refused to mention the matter again.

after a few days.

Wei Guanghua came to the door and wanted to buy a few pigs.

"Where are the pigs your team raised? Why are you coming to us to buy live pigs?"

Fang Wei has been in a bad mood these past two days and has been speaking a bit harshly.

Wei Guanghua didn't take it seriously and explained, "The team has no breeding base. Apart from the pig production tasks, we don't get to eat meat on a regular basis."

"Okay, 6 cents per pound of live pigs. How many do you want?"

The price Fang Wei offered was not high. The price of pork in the market had risen again this year, but the purchase price remained unchanged.

"That's a fair price. I want 10 pigs."

The two quickly reached an agreement, and Fang Wei sold 10 live pigs to Team One.

[Pigs produced, points +3002, total points: 574661 points.] There are 143 pigs left in the pig farm.

As soon as Wei Guanghua left, people from the cement factory arrived.

Director Wu, who was previously in charge of logistics, recently joined the factory team. His first task was to seek benefits for the employees.

The cement plant is one of the county's financial pillars, and the overall situation is relatively stable, at least much better than the coal mine.

"Director Wu, you're capable! I admire you! What do you need this time?"

"What's there to admire? Everyone has to eat meat. I've already informed the county and the commune about my visit. Look, the paperwork is all here."

Director Wu does things differently. At least he has all the necessary procedures in place.

Fang Wei didn't say anything more and sold 30 pigs and 500 ducks to the cement factory as requested.

[Produces piglets, points +8400]

[Produces Mallard, points +2008]

Total points: 585061.

There are 113 pigs left in the pig farm and 2 ducks left in [Poultry House No. 1280].

Including the pigs sold to a team, the two transactions brought in a total of 8814.14 yuan in cash.

Time flies.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is here in a blink of an eye.

Because Pan Lianhua had difficulty moving, the two of them did not return to the Yao village to celebrate the festival, but stayed at home.

Grandpa sent some mountain products and repeatedly told Fang Wei to take good care of Lianhua.

On the day of the festival, Guan Chongyang came uninvited, and there was another person behind him.

"Master Sun? What brings you here? Come in quickly, let's have dinner together later."

A sister came to the Yao village. She used to love Pan Lianhua the most and also celebrated the festival with Fang Wei.

Today's meals were prepared by others, so Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua did not go to Fang Ping's place.

As a result, before the three of them had even started eating, guests came to their house.

"Third brother, our junior brother has just arrived, so we won't be polite."

Guan Chongyang and Fang Wei naturally didn't need to be polite, so they pulled Taoist Sun into the house and sat down at the table.

Taoist Sun doesn't drink, so Fang Wei accompanied Old Man Guan to drink two glasses. After Sister A and Pan Lianhua finished eating, they said hello to everyone and went back to the house.

Fang Wei then asked, "Master, you must have come down the mountain for something, right?"

He felt that the current situation was not very good. If Taoist Sun came down the mountain to buy things or to visit Guan Chongyang, it would be better for him to go back early after staying in the village for a few days.

"Alas! Junior Brother was driven out of the Taoist temple. Although the world is vast, there is no place for him to stay."

Guan Chongyang's next words surprised Fang Wei.

[Sanqing Temple] is located in a remote area, far away from the world. Who has nothing better to do than do these things?

Later, Taoist Sun added a sentence, and he finally understood the whole story.

The campaign of "changing customs and eliminating feudal superstitions" is being carried out in an all-round way. Under the strong suggestion of some "masses", Taoist Sun and his two disciples were asked to return to secular life.

Fortunately, there was nothing valuable in the Taoist temple. The person in charge of this matter had sought medical treatment from Taoist Master Sun in the Taoist temple several years ago, and had some kind of relationship with him.

Therefore, the Taoist temple did not suffer any losses and was simply closed.

"My two disciples have returned to their hometowns, but I have nowhere to go, so I have no choice but to come and seek refuge with my senior brother."

Taoist Sun seemed helpless. He had spent half his life in the mountains, and now he was driven down from the mountains. He felt that his future was bleak.

The most important thing is that he doesn't know how long he can stay here.

Guan Chongyang was also confused about the current policy, so he came to Fang Wei to discuss it.

"I'll figure out a solution for this. Taoist Sun, are you willing to stay with our second team? If you are willing, I'll go to the brigade and the commune tomorrow and try to resolve your identity issue.

However, from now on, the way I address you will have to change. I can no longer call you Taoist Priest, but only your secular name."

This matter is troublesome and simple at the same time.

If Zheng Xianfa and Xu Guangsheng are willing to help, they can register Sun Daoren in the second team.

Among the members, Fang Wei is willing to do the work, so it is probably not a big problem. However, he can no longer call others "Daoist Master" or "Taoist". He can only call others by their secular name, Sun Zhaodong.

"Haha, the name is just a symbol. From now on, just call me Old Sun. Captain Fang, thank you for taking me in. Don't worry, I will never cause you any trouble on the team."

Taoist Sun has always been very free and easy, so naturally he wouldn't care about such details.

Although he is over sixty years old, he still maintains the habit of working all year round and his physical condition is comparable to that of a strong laborer.

Cultivation is about cultivating the mind. Once one has a place to stay, his mind will be settled.

"Okay, you stay at the old man's house for a while and wait for my news. Come on, don't just talk, eat more."

After discussing the countermeasures, everyone stopped talking about the matter and happily ate the meal.

the next day.

Fang Wei went to the brigade to find Zheng Xianfa.

"Little scholar, why don't you keep a low profile? Guan Chongyang's junior fellow apprentice has nothing to do with you. You just like to play the good guy. Okay, where is the old Taoist from? Give me his identity information and I'll go to the commune to help him get registered."

Zheng Xianfa agreed to help while cursing.

According to the current situation, it is indeed better to have less trouble than more. He is right, we should keep a low profile.

However, Fang Wei also knew Zheng Xianfa's character. He had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and he would still help after scolding him.

"Thank you, Secretary. I'll treat you to a drink later."

Fang Wei smiled and handed Taoist Sun's identity information to the other party.

Zheng Xianfa took it, took a look at it, put it in his bag, and then went to the commune alone.

Fang Wei returned to the team and told Zheng Hu and others about this matter.

"Mr. Guan is highly respected. Now his family is in trouble. Can we just stand by and watch? Let Sun Zhaodong stay in our second team. That way, they won't be left without a single bite to eat."

Zheng Hu not only has a good relationship with Fang Wei, but also has a good relationship with Mr. Guan, so he was the first to stand up and express his support.

Next, Zheng Bao, Fang Wenshu and others also expressed their support.

Although Zhao Jinsheng and Accountant Liu were not familiar with Guan Chongyang, they would certainly not object for Fang Wei's sake.

"Thank you everyone! I'm willing to keep Sun Zhaodong in our second team. First of all, it's not because of any personal feelings, but because he has excellent medical skills, far superior to those of Doctor Zhao and Doctor Wang."

Although Fang Wei has the final say in the second team, it would be better for him to come up with a convincing excuse.

So he focused on introducing Taoist Sun's medical skills. The other party was a doctor who had saved countless lives. Keeping him would benefit everyone.

After he said this, the team leaders supported his decision even more.

After the news spread in the team, members also expressed their support.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Fang Wei convened a members' meeting for a vote, and everyone unanimously agreed to keep Sun Zhaodong in the second team.

Two days later, Zheng Xianfa came to find Fang Wei.

"I've taken care of it for you. Sun Zhaodong's household registration will be in the Second Team. But let's make it clear first, this will only happen once, and it won't happen again."
