The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 472 Matchmaking

Liang Xinyue thought about this matter and decided to communicate with these leaders.

"The Provincial Agricultural University wants to build an experimental field site here in the future. There are more than 20 college students coming this time, and there may be more than 20 next year."

"County magistrate, two directors, these people are talents. If we can keep some of these college students here and let them serve the people in our county, that would be a great thing."

"When Director Ye sent the college students here two days ago, he gave me a work permit. In the future, I will have to arrange time to give lectures at the Provincial Agricultural University. The Agricultural University has also hired me as a university teacher."

County Magistrate Chen, Director Ren, and Director Shen all congratulated him.

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"Don't just congratulate me. This is what I think. If Xihuai County wants to make progress, we have to connect with our brother units, cities and counties. If we can make things happen and learn some advanced things, we will develop well."

"For example, Director Ye said that we have already piloted four sites in Xinshui Village across the province, and all have received good feedback. Next year, it is basically certain that 100 villages will try to follow the path of Xinshui Village."

"For them, our Xinshui Village is ahead, but for us, we can also look at the strengths of others, for example, if someone raises good pigs, we can learn from them. We may not necessarily do better than others, but at least we should be self-sufficient first, and then sell the surplus to generate income."

"I have said hello to Director Ye. He said that if we build an experimental field here, we can turn it into an experimental base in the future, and we can also invite senior experts and professors to personally guide us in planting and breeding."

"We have accumulated some very good experience over thousands of years, but we still need scientific breeding and planting. For example, in Xinshui Village, I just planted some vegetables. We can grow the same land in a different way."

"I think the same is true for breeding. We should adopt a scientific method to breed. There must be no problem. If there are difficulties, we will go ahead. If there are no conditions, we will create conditions and go ahead."

"Clap clap clap!"

Although there were not many people in the office, several leaders applauded as soon as Liang Xinyue finished speaking.

They were completely persuaded by Liang Xinyue and decided that they could no longer stick to the old ways. If they wanted to develop in the future, they had to learn better ways from others.

Liang Xinyue said again:

"If we concentrate on raising pigs, expand and build pig sties, use some scientific methods to raise pigs, and find some provincial and municipal agricultural and animal husbandry experts to give us some advice, as long as we have a goal, we will work towards that goal."

Director Shen thought for a moment and said:

"Our county needs at least 3,000 pigs for the New Year. As far as we know, there are only about 800 pigs in the pens that will be slaughtered during the New Year. Some pigs will not be sold at that time. They are raised by the village and divided among the people in the village."

“So, right now we’re a little bit short.”

County Magistrate Chen knocked on the table:

"Did the city promise you anything?"

Director Shen smiled bitterly:

"The city is still complaining. They say they are still short of pork for the New Year. After much persuasion, they could only allocate 400 heads to us."

Liang Xinyue's heart sank after hearing this. If this was the case, there was indeed a huge gap.

According to Liang Xinyue's knowledge, villages like Xinshui Village did not raise pigs in the first half of the year, but only started raising more than a dozen pigs in the second half of the year. They dared not raise more because they now use the vegetable leaves from the daily vegetable sales to raise pigs.

But in Daoliang Village, there was no one to raise any livestock, no food to feed them, and no one to eat.

County Magistrate Chen said:

"We went to the city for a meeting yesterday and happened to meet the leaders in charge of animal husbandry, so we talked to them. The leaders asked us if we planned to raise some sheep next year, and they could give us some good sheep seedlings."

"So we are looking for you to come over and discuss whether it is possible for us to get a piece of land to raise sheep."

Director Shen waved his hand and said:

"If there is no grass, it won't work. Think about it, our neighboring county, Ak County, has a huge grassland. And there is a river there, with abundant grass and water, so it's a good place to raise cattle and sheep. We only have a little grassland next to them, and it's not big. We can only raise one or two hundred sheep. More than that won't work."

"And we also need to prepare for winter fodder. As for the pig farm Xiao Liang mentioned, we can consider it. If our family business is up next year, we will have more grain and water channels, and at least more green fodder, and we can make some adjustments. It should be possible to run a pig farm, but I counted the piglets, and our breeding farm only raises a few hundred pigs a year. We need to expand it."

Liang Xinyue could only sigh inwardly. Just listening to these data now, they were not as many as in her previous life, or in a few decades later, as the number of livestock raised by a family on the grassland.

This is a county that can only produce this much in a year. It's really poor.

Liang Xinyue added:

"We need to farm at least a thousand pigs. If nothing else, it will be enough to help us get through the difficult time at the end of the year."

"Besides, as long as green fodder is available, we can use the stored feed to raise pigs. Such pigs grow faster. It is possible to market them twice a year, which will make them even more abundant."

"How can it be possible to be slaughtered twice?"

Liang Xinyue knew that in the future, pigs could be slaughtered not only twice, but sometimes three or four times a year.

Of course, that is related to the feeds invented later, but there are no other chemical methods now. However, Liang Xinyue still knows a little about using a relatively simple feed to raise pigs.

It is to chop up some green fodder (referring to green plants, as long as they can be eaten by pigs, such as sweet potato vines, radish leaves, etc.), wrap them in a film, ferment them, and then use them to feed pigs. Pigs will grow faster after eating them.

Liang Xinyue had heard of this method in her previous life. She only needed to try it. In theory, it was understandable. It was to fully ferment the nutrients in the green fodder so that the pigs could absorb them better. This way, they would grow faster.

"Moreover, we can not only raise pigs, but also chickens, which can lay eggs and sell them for money."

When you think about it this way, it seems like there is a lot to do next year.

After several leaders discussed it, they set several goals for Xihuai County next year.

Agriculture and animal husbandry are indeed inseparable. They must develop together and progress together. Only in this way can they drive the development of the entire rural area.

They discussed for a long time and even had lunch in the county party committee cafeteria. After lunch, they discussed for a while before everyone returned to their original units.

Director Ren and Liang Xinyue said:

"That's great, Xiao Liang. You've become a university teacher."

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"I may not be as good as them in theory, but in practice, I am better than those who just stay in school. If these students really come out to intern with me, I will definitely try my best to teach them everything I know."

Director Ren said:

“Every time I discuss the future direction of development with you, I feel that there is still great hope for our county.”

"Ha ha……"

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"There is hope. Isn't there a song that goes like this: Our hometown is in the field of hope."

"So, we have to plant our hopes and let the fields here be filled with flowers of hope."

When the two were about to walk downstairs to the Agricultural Bureau, they met a girl who looked a little plump, but in this era, this was a sign of health. People like Liang Xinyue who were too thin were considered too weak and had no labor force in this era.

"Uncle Ren."

The girl smiled and greeted Director Ren.

Director Ren slapped his forehead and said:

"Shen Xi, why are you here?"

"I'm here to buy groceries."

Director Ren smiled and said:

"We just separated from your father. By the way, let me introduce you to this person, Comrade Liang Xinyue, the deputy director of our Agriculture Bureau."

Shen Xi blinked, stared at Liang Xinyue and smiled:

"Hello, Deputy Director Liang, I'm Shen Xi."

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"You are Director Shen's daughter?"

"Well, if you heard about me from my father, then I am sure that I am a disobedient kid who doesn't do his job and gives him a lot of headaches."

Although Shen Xi said such self-deprecating words, he was laughing happily.

Liang Xinyue laughed and said:

"You're right. However, I've seen the pen holder you made for the county magistrate's office. It's really nice. The reliefs on it look beautiful."

Shen Xi's eyes lit up:

"Yes, I said it was a relief sculpture. My dad said it was a relief sculpture. It was a fart!"

Liang Xinyue laughed even louder:

"It's nice to meet you, Shen Xi. You can come to my house when you have time. I have a professional carpenter at home. My father and brother are both carpenters. Maybe they can give you some new ideas."

Shen Xi said happily:

"Then I'll visit your house this weekend, but I don't know where your house is?"

At this time, Director Ren interrupted:

"Xiao Liang bought Teacher Wu's house, and now Teacher Wu's home is her home."

"Oh, oh, okay, I'll come to your house this weekend afternoon."

It seems that Teacher Wu is really highly respected here. They all know Teacher Wu.

Shen Xi held up the vegetable basket in his hand:

"My mom asked me to come over to buy some vegetables for frying in the evening. I'm going back now because I have to help my dad with some work in the afternoon."

"Okay, then just come to my house this weekend afternoon."

Seeing Shen Xi running away happily, Liang Xinyue sighed:

"I think she has a good personality. A girl like her will be happy all her life."

Director Ren raised his eyebrows and said:

"I think so too. How about I give you a task?"

Director Ren spoke very quietly this time.

Liang Xinyue was stunned for a moment and said:

"What mission?"

"Help me pull a string?"

As Director Ren was speaking, Liang Xinyue realized that Director Ren had taken a fancy to Shen Xi.

Liang Xinyue remembered that Director Ren also had a son who was a teacher at the county middle school.

Liang Xinyue also raised her eyebrows and whispered:

"Do you want to introduce your Ren Longfei to someone else?"

"Yeah, the boy in our family is the same. I told him that he could have a relationship now, but he didn't listen. He always mentioned you at home, saying that you are still studying and are very good at self-study. He admires you."

"Now that Shen Xi likes you, I think it's best for you to handle this matter. You young people can talk about something when you get together."

Liang Xinyue raised her eyebrows and said:

"How about I organize a party this weekend? Have them meet at my house?"

Director Ren immediately agreed:

"I can see it."

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"Then you should remember to give more money to the matchmaker. I've seen that this girl Shen Xi has a very good personality. She's really good."

Director Ren smiled and said:

"I've had this idea for a long time, but our kid is a little awkward and doesn't dare to take the initiative. I can't take the initiative to find Old Shen either. It would be better if you can help me with this matter."

Liang Xinyue agreed and said:

"Okay, I'll take care of this."

Director Ren’s son Ren Longfei is a bit shy, but he has a very good personality. He would be a good teacher. He visited Liang Xinyue’s house once and helped take care of the children.

Liang Xinyue felt that a grown-up man who had the patience to take care of children must have a good personality.

After Liang Xinyue returned to the office, she once again wrote a letter to Professor Zhu.

At the same time, I also asked him for help, saying that I wanted to engage in animal husbandry and wanted to find an expert in this field to learn some knowledge about breeding.

Liang Xinyue wrote a letter and put it in the mailbox when she got off work.

When it was time to get off work, I went back home with Xiaoxue.

The eldest child was brought back and was doing his homework seriously. The three younger children did not play in the patio today, but in the yard outside. In order to prevent the younger brothers and sisters from running out, the eldest child moved a long bench to the door to do their homework. In this way, every younger brother and sister who wanted to go out was stopped.

Liang's father was sawing wood. He had received a lot of work, so he was sawing every day. In the evening, Liang Jun came back and first pieced together what he had sawed, and then drew some dimensions.

The father and son work very well together.

Aunt Li has already prepared the meal, now all she needs to do is stir-fry one more dish.

As soon as they entered the house, Liang Jun and his wife followed.

"Sister, look, I have some candy, give it to you."

Zhou Xiaoying happily took out a handful of candy from her pocket, but instead of giving it to her son, she gave it to Liang Xinyue first.

Then they distributed the rest to the children. Dabao was sensible and took some from Grandma Li and Grandpa respectively. Jiajia gave some to Xiaoxue. All the children were very well behaved.

"Oh, there's a "喜" character here, is there someone having a wedding?"

"Well, Xiao Wang from the Armed Forces got married today and treated everyone to a meal in the cafeteria. Everyone gave gifts, and I also gave five dollars."

Liang Xinyue nodded. Her brother was right. Although they were cadres at different levels, they all worked in the same unit and should have some interactions with each other.

Liang Xinyue was eating candy and talking to her brother about wanting to hire someone to help with the wood. Liang Jun smiled and said:

"That's fine. Minister Gu handed me another list today, and I received a few more orders."
