Chapter Twenty-Six: Birthday Celebration
After a winter, the pig farm was finally built, and with the help of Fan Heng, the factory happily sent large construction machinery to help, and the most troublesome water and electricity problems were properly solved.
Originally, the power problem is the most troublesome thing, but fortunately, the pig farm is not very far from the factory, about two miles of more roads, under the instruction of Fan Wuxi, the three brothers of the Wang family said that they can give priority to the canteen of the factory to provide more pigs, under the stimulation of this good news, the factory immediately expressed great enthusiasm, and immediately pulled a special line for them, which is different from the mains, is the power provided by the small power station built by the factory itself, one does not need to spend electricity bills, and the other is basically not out of power, After all, it's a military guarantee.
The three Wang brothers admired Fan Wuxi's foresight and strategy, but Fan Wuxian said with a smile, "When it comes to food, the enthusiasm of the Chinese is naturally very high, especially in such an era of meat shortage, if there is no reaction in the factory, it is a strange thing." ”
This is the actual situation, the factory naturally has its own staff canteen, also has its own pig farm, but after all, the scale can not go up, the pigs are only a few dozen sick heads, how can it satisfy the appetite of more than 5,000 workers?
Now I heard that the farmer brothers want to build a farm with hundreds of pigs, not far from the factory, and are willing to give priority to the factory to provide a part of the pigs, this news for the factory leaders to stimulate is quite large, the workers all day hard for the national defense construction service, has been lacking meat nutrition is the actual situation, at this time suddenly there is an opportunity to improve, naturally can not let go, so the factory for the construction of pig farms is a strong support, this support is also in place, is not to ask for remuneration.
Of course, it would be inaccurate to say that there is no reward at all, and everyone's eyes are on the pigs that are about to grow up healthily.
The Spring Festival has no new ideas, it is still so old-fashioned, this year is different from previous years, the number of visitors to the house is obviously much more than in previous years, not only the people in the factory, but also the leaders of the Bureau of Culture and Education and subordinate units, which is naturally inseparable from Fan Heng's promotion to the director of the workshop and Zhang Mei as the deputy director of the Education Bureau.
The three brothers of the Wang family built a large-scale pig farm in Panshi City, this news is a new thing for everyone, because the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee has just been held, the spirit of the document is not very thorough, so many people still have doubts about personal farms, but on the premise that this thing can not be said above, no one will be stupid enough to jump out and point at each other and say that this is not right!
Anyway, people occupy wasteland, and they still pay the imperial grain, and they also declare that they will give priority to the supply of pigs to the local market, which is always a good thing, at least the supply of pork in Panshi City will be more, and the oil and water in everyone's stomach can also be more. As for the profit problem that some people say, most people are not without contempt, people work hard to raise chickens, do they still want to give you all the eggs?
Pigs are much bigger than chickens, but the truth is not the same?
The leaders of the city have become much more cautious after the incident of Chen Tonglin, the former deputy secretary, and the best plan is to wait and see what happens to this new thing in the city.
Fan Wuji's life is very easy to remember, the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, that is, the day when the "dragon raises its head".
How much is the solar calendar, everyone never remembers much, after all, it is still rare for Chinese to live in the solar calendar at this time, and everyone is more accustomed to doing things according to tradition, and life is no exception.
Fan Wuxi's zodiac is a dragon, and when he is born and "the dragon raises its head", it is natural to celebrate it.
There is no red wine, no cake, these things are not popular now, but Zhang Mei gave full play to her cooking skills, and Fan Heng and his wife both cooked, and made a table of good dishes, of course, this good dish is incomparable with the Manchu and Han banquets, and everyone's requirements cannot be too high.
In the evening, the family sat together and gathered around the small table to celebrate Fan's birthday.
"Today is the third child's birthday, it's rare that we all have free time to sit together, it's really good, eldest and second, should you say something encouraging to your younger brother?" Fan Heng's interest is good, naturally there is a reason.
Fan Heng's stomach is not very good, Zhang Mei has not allowed him to drink, and today he caught up with Fan Wu's sick life, and he could just take the opportunity to drink two glasses, thinking that Zhang Mei would not say anything for the sake of the family's happiness.
"My brother is happy!" Sister Fan Ting took the lead in congratulating and gave Fan Wuxian a chicken leg.
Fan Heng nodded, expressing satisfaction.
"My brother is happy!" Brother Fan Kang did the same, and also gave Fan Wuxian a chicken leg.
Fan Heng pouted and expressed his dissatisfaction, he had to have something fresh, how could he be like the crowd?
Zhang Mei smiled and said, "Okay, okay!" The eldest and second are all congratulated, do you have any wishes for the third? According to the tradition of our hometown, when we are born, we have to make a wish. ”
Fan Wuxi touched his head, thinking to himself, does it take so much trouble to eat? Is it necessary? But seeing the earnest and caring expressions on the faces of his parents and older brothers and sisters, Fan Wuxian couldn't help but feel some feelings in his heart, so he said with a smile, "Okay, let's listen to the whole poem to the big guy first." ”
Got a poem? Fan Heng and Zhang Mei and others were stunned, although the third child has always been very strange, but he has never heard him read poetry, even what kind of children's ancient poems and other things he never disdained, today I suddenly heard him say that he wants to read poetry, I can't help but be a little curious, what kind of poem will he read? Does anyone know that the food on the plate is hard? Or is it a goose goose song to the sky?
In everyone's attention, Fan Wuxian whispered, "Before it was said that the king's family was drinking, yesterday it was the king's family banquet; Today, I will meet in three days. When the song talks about self-indulgence, it persuades each other to drink. Take a cup for me, and make three wishes with you: one wishes for the world to be peaceful, two wishes for good health, and three wishes for the old man, and the number and all meet. ”
Fan Wuxian really saw that everyone was at a loss, so he said with a smile, "This is Bai Juyi's poem, few people know it, so let's listen to it straightforwardly and festively." ”
"It's better to be straightforward, if you make a wish, what are you doing with such a crepe?" Fan Heng nodded solemnly.
After thinking about it for a while, Fan Wuxian cleared his throat and sang.
"Folded a thousand paper cranes and tied a red streamer
May good luck come to the good people every day
You are industrious, your life is beautiful, you are healthy, and spring is always there
You've been busy all your life for the sake of a smile
Tie a Chinese knot and ask the spring breeze to cut the ribbon
May the motherland have good luck every year
You phoenix dance, peaceful year, you dragon soar new era
Your happy home is in full bloom with a hundred flowers-";
