Chapter 573 Change of mind
"Master, you are making pancakes on the kang instead of sleeping.
You toss and turn, if you don't sleep, others will have to sleep."
Wu Sufen was once again awakened by her old man turning over, and could not help but scold him out loud.
"I have something on my mind and can't sleep."
"What are you thinking about late at night instead of sleeping?
Besides, you have been staying at home for the past few months, and there are no national affairs for you to worry about, so why can't you sleep?" Wu Sufen was really puzzled.
"I was thinking about Xiaoxue, and the chicken plague and the medicine for the chicken plague."
“What’s there to think about?
The chicken plague medicine Xiaoxue developed has been proven to be effective in treating chicken plague during this period.
Many families in our production team were cured of chicken plague by it.
These days, the chicken plague has passed, and no other families have been hit by the disease. What are you worried about?"
"You've been staying at home for too long and have too much free time, so you want to find something to worry about.
If you really have nothing to do, then worry about your third son.
We had clearly agreed before that we would go home last year to settle our lifelong affairs.
He changed his mind midway, saying that something happened at his comrade's family and he needed to go home urgently, so he exchanged leave with that person and decided not to come back for the time being.
I've been looking for a good girl for him here, but he just didn't come back.
Fortunately, I listened to you and didn't let anyone know that I was dating him. If I had really told the girl about it, I would have been embarrassed to return the letter.
Isn't this delaying the girl's time?" Wu Sufen said with resentment.
The captain consoled him, "I don't miss him at all, why are you bringing him up again?
Besides, it's not like they won't come back, they just changed the date. They'll be back in April next year.
In my opinion, it’s better to come back at this time, it’s not so cold.
Now that he has come back, he must go around and show himself to those who miss him.
The weather is good, which makes it convenient for traveling.
It will also be convenient for us to go to the mountain to get some good things to nourish him."
After hearing what the captain said, Wu Sufen's resentment subsided a little, "Now that you mention it, it's true.
But when we came back that time, we had already started working.
He is a person who cannot sit still. When he sees us working, how can he sit still? He must have gone to the fields to work with us."
Wu Sufen changed the subject and said, "You didn't think about the third brother, why did you think about Xiaoxue and the chicken plague medicine?
This batch of chicken plague has already passed.
Except for two families in our production team who didn’t take good care of their chickens and didn’t even know that their chickens had chicken plague, and they were late in giving the medicine, so one or two chickens died, the other families didn’t suffer any losses.”
"My experience of Xiaoxue curing chicken plague reminded me of other things.
Have you forgotten why Xiaoxue thought of studying fowl plague and developing fowl plague medicine?
According to her, she had read a lot of medical books in the past few months and made a lot of preparations in advance, which is why she was able to find a way to treat fowl plague so quickly this time."
Wu Sufen thought about it and said, "How could I forget.
It was Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing who told you to expand breeding and raise large numbers of poultry in the production team, but you refused on the grounds that the poultry might get sick and you were worried about losing all your money.
They thought that Xiaoxue knew how to make medicine, and if she could make medicine to treat poultry plague, they would go to find her.
Xiaoxue wanted to help our production team solve their problems, so she agreed to do this.
That’s why we have this batch of poultry, as well as Secretary Xu’s family.”
"Why, do you have any ideas?
Tell me, I'll help you think about it, so you don't have to worry about it and can't sleep at night."
"Do you think our poultry can be raised well using the method Xiaoxue provided and her feed formula?" the team leader asked before answering.
When Wu Sufen heard the captain say this, she was no longer sleepy at all. She turned over and sat up, not forgetting to pull the quilt to cover herself.
After she did this, the captain who was sharing the same quilt with her had no choice but to sit up and pull the quilt to cover himself.
Wu Sufen said excitedly, "Okay, why not?
We have raised this pig for more than three months and it now weighs 130 kilograms.
According to the way we raised pigs before, when we had to hand in the pigs for the task after nine months, they would weigh at most this much.
The pig in our family has just entered a period of rapid growth. It is estimated that if we raise it for two more months, it will weigh over 200 kilograms.
I have never seen a pig this big in my life.
At this rate, it will take about 5 to 6 months to be ready for slaughter, and the weight will be around 200 kilograms.
In this way, we can raise two batches of pigs a year.”
"As for the chickens, ducks and geese, judging by the current situation, they will probably start laying eggs in a while."
At this point, Wu Sufen reminded the team leader, "Xiaoxue said before that if chickens, ducks and geese want to lay more eggs, they need to use specific feed.
When the time comes, go find Xiaoxue and tell her about this, and ask her to come over and take a look at the new feed."
The captain nodded and agreed, "Remind me when the time comes, and I'll go find Xiaoxue."
Wu Sufen returned to the previous topic, "I have never raised rabbits or sheep before, so I can't tell the difference.
But judging from the four species of chickens, ducks, geese and pigs alone, the feed and feeding methods provided by Xiaoxue are indeed good.”
"You said that the chicken plague has been solved now. Then can we do as Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing said and vigorously develop the breeding industry in the production team?" The team leader finally said it.
When Wu Sufen heard this, she immediately spoke up in support, "Go ahead, why not.
With the feed provided by Xiaoxue and her chicken plague medicine, they will definitely not die from the disease.
Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing had already guaranteed that as long as our production team had the goods, they would ensure that they could be sold.
This way you can make money, so why not do it? "
"It's just that the swine fever and sheep plague haven't occurred in the past few months. Xiaoxue doesn't have any research subjects, and hasn't developed any medicine to treat the swine fever and sheep plague.
I am worried that others may disagree, citing concerns about the possibility of plague and heavy losses." The captain said worriedly.
"I used to be the same as them, worried about the outbreak of disease and the death of all the poultry, and I did not agree to vigorously develop breeding in the team.
But since Xiaoxue was able to develop the chicken plague medicine in a short period of time, I had great confidence in her and felt that even if the pigs and sheep really had the plague, she would be able to cure it.
Besides, swine fever and sheep plague are not necessarily fatal. Maybe our production team is lucky and doesn’t get them.
Even if they are worried about the spread of disease and don't want to raise a large number of pigs and sheep, they can always raise chickens, ducks and geese.
There are already effective drugs for treating plague for these crops, so we don’t have to worry about them getting plague, and we have feed to accelerate their growth, so we can definitely make money.” Wu Sufen said.
The captain nodded in agreement, "I agree with you.
There are people who choke to death while drinking water or eating. You can't just be afraid of this and that and do nothing.
Besides, if Xiaoxue doesn't raise pigs and sheep, she will have no research subjects and will never be able to develop a medicine to treat the plague.
At worst, we can just raise more chickens, ducks, and geese and fewer pigs and sheep. Even if those two species really get sick and die, the loss won't be that big.
As for rabbits, just go to the mountains and catch a few rabbits to use as breeding rabbits.
That thing reproduces quickly and grows fast, so even if it dies, we will only lose some feed, which won’t have much impact at all.”
