Rebirth 1978, Wife, I won't go back to the city

Li Jingshen brought the grass over and smelled it.

"I think it has something to do with this grass. Don't feed it. Who's pig would eat this?"

"I heard they said pigs eat grass, so I wanted to try it. But it turned out to be sick. Do you think I should buy some medicine for the pigs?"

"No need to buy medicine. Just stop using this for a couple of days and it should be fine. This little piglet is pretty strong."

"This is the breed you ordered last time. Luckily, we're just doing an experiment now. If the pig farm were built and I fed them grass, they'd all be dead."

"Scientific farming is not just empty talk. If we don't follow scientific methods, we will always try to cut corners."

"Then the quality of the pigs we produce will be poor, the quality of the meat won't be high, and we still won't be able to sell them for a good price."

Li Jingshen already vaguely understood why Zhao Fei wanted to raise cattle.

"I wanted to tell you this too. You mentioned the feed before, and I calculated it. It's not cheap."

"Besides, even if the pigs are of good quality, they are prone to disease. It's better to raise cattle, as cattle eat grass at a lower cost."

“It’s just that the growth cycle is slower.”

As they talked, the two left the pigpen and found a place to sit down.

The two of them lit a cigarette, and after a long while Li Jingshen spoke.

"I heard about your cattle raising when I visited you this morning. Well, you have to take things one step at a time."

"If pig farming is successful, we can raise cattle later to avoid risks, but you have to do both."

"We don't have that much money. Besides, you're changing your business before the pigpen is even finished. Even if others can do it, they won't have confidence in you."

Li Jingshen analyzed the pros and cons, and Zhao Fei nodded frequently as he listened.

"It's you educated people who have to get things done. I just think too much sometimes."

"You're right, then that's settled."

The conversation strengthened Zhao Fei's confidence and Li Jingshen also breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what you do, the most important thing is firm confidence. Once you waver, complications will arise.

Li Jingshen also encouraged him in the end.

"I also brought back a lot of books about farming this time, not only about pig farming, but also about sheep and cattle farming."

"If you have nothing to do, take a look at the words you don't know. When you come to ask me, I need to learn more to achieve my goal."

"Don't worry, I will definitely read them all and become a breeding expert."

Zhao Fei patted his chest.

After solving the problem of the piglets, Li Jingshen came to the pig farm construction site.

When they saw Li Jingshen coming, everyone greeted him. The project was going smoothly, so Li Jingshen didn't stay long.

It was already twelve o'clock noon when I got home.

Jiang Xue rushed over to make some hot noodle soup, and the two of them chatted while eating.

"I've already cleaned up the west room for you. If you want to be a translator, you can stay in that room in peace."

"There are people coming to your house, so I'll block them for you first. We'll talk later if you really can't beat them."

"Okay, let's do it this way. I really have to work overtime these two days, otherwise I won't be able to finish it."

Li Jingshen wanted to concentrate on translation, but things kept coming up one after another.

Zhang Zhenming had just put down his bowl and hadn't even taken a lunch break when he came to find Li Jingshen.

"Uncle, why are you here? If there's anything, just ask them to send a message. I'll come find you."

"It's really hard to say. Do you know the guy named Li Er in our village?"

Li Jingshen searched for this person in his mind. He remembered that Li Er was a young man in his twenties.

He has always been idle and careless. I have dealt with him several times since I came here, but this guy doesn't cause any trouble.

There was nothing much to talk about between the two sides, and their friendship was not very deep.

"I remember what happened to him."

"Oh, this is really hard to say."

Zhang Zhenming couldn't help laughing when he said this.

"You say he's capable, but he doesn't do anything. He's not very active at work. He just wants to feed the whole family."

"If you say he's incompetent, he's found a girlfriend. She's a girl from the village next door."

"They're in a free love relationship. Isn't that amazing?"

Hearing this, Li Jingshen was also a little surprised and shocked.

"I didn't expect this guy to be so powerful. What do you want to talk to me about? You don't want me to pick the date, do you?"

Villagers would consult a Feng Shui master to choose the date for their wedding.

Li Jingshen knew this custom, so he joked with Zhang Zhenming.

"How could such a trivial matter as looking at the date alarm you? Besides, it hasn't come to that point yet. The girl's father, Ma Xingyuan, and his family don't agree."

Zhang Zhenming sighed softly when he said this.

"They are in a free relationship. If there are no problems, there seems to be no reason for their family to object."

"Besides, this is a personal emotional dispute. As the saying goes, even an honest judge cannot judge family affairs. Even if you are the branch secretary, I'm afraid you can't explain it clearly."

"Who said it wasn't? Actually, I don't like to care about this matter, but this Li Er is pestering me all day long. What can I do?"

"Actually, he asked me to beg you a few days ago. I could have been more at peace when you weren't around."

"Now that you're back, he's heard it from somewhere and is following me around all day. What do you think I should do?"

"I'm also a little confused. Why did Li'er insist on asking you to find me and not other seniors?"

If there is a conflict between two families in the village, or if there is a conflict between two villages, most of the villagers will basically step in.

The two sides will focus on mediating and generally will not look for the branch secretary or young people.

That's why Li Jingshen raised questions and felt that this matter was not simple.

"Li Er's logic is very simple. Ma Xingyuan is an old fogey. Even an old man can't persuade him, so you, an educated youth, must go."

"He said you were a man of culture and a man of great ability. That's probably what happened."

Li Jingshen didn't expect that Li Er was such a smart guy.

Li Jingshen hesitated for a moment. If he didn't agree, Li'er might pester him.

But if I agree and fail to do so, Li Er probably won't give up.

"There's a saying that goes, 'It's better to demolish ten temples than one sound.' Now that you've found the door, go ahead and give it a try."

"If they agree, then everyone is happy. If they don't agree, why don't you just be frank and say it upfront?"

Jiang Xue's words woke the dreamer up, and he and Zhang Zhenming immediately went to find Li Er.

Jiang Xue was sitting at home at this time, with her head drooped as if she had lost her soul.

Seeing Li Jingshen coming, he jumped to greet Li Jingshen.

"I didn't expect you to come. Look at my family, I don't know what to do."

Li Er's parents died early, leaving him alone, so his home was very messy and simple.

When he saw this situation, he frowned but said nothing.

Li Er seemed very enthusiastic and ran around to pour water for Li Jingshen.

As a result, there was not even a thermos, so Li Jingshen asked him to sit down.

"Let's forget about all the politeness. Sit down and let me talk to you."

"Okay, okay, go ahead and tell me. I'll listen to whatever you say, as long as it allows me to marry my wife."
