Chapter 47 pig comedy

Behind the main street, at the base of the earthen wall of a county-run factory, is the pig and sheep market.Under the shade of the dense branches and leaves of the paulownia tree, there are piles of piglets who are bound to their front legs and are still alive and kicking, squeaking.On the poplar tree beside the canal, there are krang pigs tied to each other, lying in the water and arching on the ground.Farmers on the hills wearing straw hats and carrying bamboo cages, and farmers pushing bicycles in the river, poured into the pig market from the narrow alleys at the same time... The old man Laifu from Tianfang Team 3, with a hemp rope wrapped around his waist and his hands behind his back, squeezed his short and puffy figure into the pig market.He was wearing a yellow mushroom hat, and on his face, he had a pair of dull eyes with drooping eyelids, a small mouth under the bridge of his nose, and two tufts of light beards on the corners of his mouth. It's ordinary to the point of being a little ugly.But there is no cunning smell, and it gives anyone the impression that it is honest and honest.

He squeezed from one end of the pig market to the other, occasionally standing in front of the noisy crowd, looking at the pig babies who were arguing about the price, listening to the transaction price, and then walked away without hesitation. .Oh!Pig baby good price!The best baby piglet sells for 18 yuan, and the worst one, which is not much bigger than a mouse, costs 12 yuan for export. This is the best price this year!Spirit!This year's wheat harvest is slightly better than last year's, and the price of pigs will increase after busy work!If the ration is a little more spacious, the farmer wants to add a baby pig to the pen!

Knowing the market of the baby pigs, those Krona pigs hanging on the tree are well-wired and have a smooth coat. The old man Laifu can estimate the price without asking. Laifu turned to the farthest west, and under a poplar tree, he saw an object that fascinated him—it was a sow, whose belly was tightly clamped together, and the teats that had been chewed by generations of piglets were dripping away. , The mouth is long and curved, the arched spine, the bones are rubbed, the hair on the back and buttocks has been worn out, and the hair on the neck is more than a foot long.Tied there, no one cares.The owner was squatting on the side, smoking a cigarette boredly, Zhang Fei was really selling persimmons—hard people and soft goods!

The old man Laifu came forward, and the owner explained bitterly that their rations were short, and people lived by buying high-priced grain, and the pigs suffered even more!He is tall and strong, and he promised sincerely, "Take a look! Make sure you don't have mada (disease)! You know how to sell goods! As long as you take a handful of grain, you will still be a good sow, and you will be safe!" Laifu touched the pig for a week and believed the master's words.The disease is not sick, but it is skin ringworm, which is easy to cure! "What's the price?" Laifu raised his face.

"I think your elder brother is also a real person, let's not talk about lies, here--" The seller stretched out two blunt fingers. "It's not worth it!" Laifu smiled and shook his head, "It's not worth it!" In fact, he was at ease in his heart, and the price was not worth it. "How much is it worth? Tell me!" the seller said, "If you want it all over the sky, pay it back right away!" "This—" Lai Fu first stretched out one index finger, and then extended five fingers. "Ah! Can you sell a baby pig for fifteen yuan?" said the seller.

"Golden piglet, silver crown, old sow for three dollars and a wooden shovel. You are still sick!" Laifu said, "Okay, add one more, sixteen!" "I'll drop one piece, nineteen!" The seller sighed. "I'll add another fifty cents -- the top of my feet!" Lai Fu also sighed. "I'll make fifty cents less - what the hell" Laifu stopped talking, and when the deal was close, he looked at the pig again.He found that sellers who were eager to sell must be in a hurry.Sure enough, the impatient man exclaimed: "Forget it! Forget it! Don't look at it! Let's hit the waist with an ax and both ends-seventeen yuan! Count your pig! Let the pig enjoy the blessing with you!"

After handing over seventeen yuan to the seller, Laifu untied the hemp rope from his waist and tied it to the pig's hind legs. Piao'er grinned at the seller as a polite farewell.He conveniently broke off a poplar branch from the tree, patted the sow's ear lightly, directed it to follow the path it chose, avoiding the crowded people's dens in the main street, detoured to the back street, and walked onto the spacious road. . Laifu drove the pig, letting the poor beast shake and move forward.If the pig walked fast, he also went fast; if the pig walked slowly, he also slowed down; when he encountered a puddle of water, the pig rolled into it, and he squatted down to smoke and wait... When he returned to Tianfang Village, the sun was shining. It has already pressed down on the flat roof of Xiyuan...

Hearing that Laifu picked up stubble to buy back sows on the street, the members of the neighboring commune came one after another and crowded beside the pigsty to look at the rare things.Farmers are very indifferent to the noisy things on the radio from morning to night, and are very interested in pigs and sheep.A lot of people came in a hurry, leaning forward to stare in the circle, with disappointment on their faces. "The skeleton is beautiful!" This is a very reluctant compliment. "It's delicious to eat!" This is a very realistic evaluation. "To fill this empty shelf, I'm afraid it will cost two hundred bags of grain!" Someone said encouraging words.

Laifu squatted on the bed, with a sullen face, and smoked cigarettes, not expressing pride or regret, he knew in his heart: just wait and see!When I feed a big sow with a dozen or so little piglets, let's see what you say! Women have no idea!Laifu calculated the details to his wife who couldn't stand the people's discussion and complained about him: "You can buy a baby pig for fifteen yuan, and it will grow to a hundred and fifty yuan a year. You can sell it for seventy or eighty yuan, and you have to feed two hundred bags of grain. And so much food can’t be produced by the family no matter what. This sow has changed its skinny skin, and has been paired with seeds. It happens to produce a trough of piglets after autumn. In spring and autumn, members of the commune raise pigs. The baby’s two major seasons. Let’s count by ten, let’s say one sells for thirteen or fourteen yuan, how much income will you get?” He said optimistically, “Don’t worry, I’ve been feeding pigs all my life, don’t you think it’s worth it?”

Seeing his wife's pursed mouth let out a sigh of relief, he knew that his wife's worries had been relieved. He drank the cold noodle soup brought by his wife, carried the grass cage on his back, and carried the grass sickle, and stepped out. threshold. My wife's voice came from behind; "What are you doing?" Laifu turned around and said, "Dig a basket of grass for the pig! It's not dark yet! It's all right!" "You ran all day without resting your legs..." said my wife. "Hey! We peasants, so valuable!" Drilling into the slope ditch behind the village, digging from the bottom of the ditch to the half slope, the fat and tender grass filled the bamboo cages to the brim.It was getting dark.The old man Laifu threw the grass scythe to the ground, let out a long breath, squatted on the grass slope with his legs sore, and took out the dry pipe habitually.

The old man Laifu is the oldest and kindest person in Tianfang Village.Life only taught him one skill: to eat with the clumsiness of his hands.He can only identify RMB by the difference in color. He learned a few characters in Dongxue night school at the beginning of liberation.Good agricultural society!A spirit person gets 80 cents for a working day, and we stupid Laifu also share 20 cents!Thinking about the prosperity of the agricultural cooperative in the first few years when it was established, and looking at the chaotic scene in the past few years, he was lucky: thanks to the three buildings that were built that year, if in the past few years, the work points of two or three cents a year For what it's worth, he still has to live in the earth cave dwelling passed down from his ancestors. The old man Laifu couldn't figure out why he had to eat a big pot of rice that year!The cauldron was eaten up, and the door was closed, making the commune members suffer for three years!Just returned to Yanglai, engaged in social education again, and beat down the secretary and team leader (all good people who came out of the cooperative) with a stick, and replaced it with a group of new people.In the next year, the Cultural Revolution started, and these people were kicked out by another group of people!The personnel relations in Tianfang Village are so complicated that no one can figure it out! What is even more fortunate is that we Laifu old man social education has never given any advice to anyone, and the Cultural Revolution has never put a red condom on its arm!He can't talk, let alone bite, no one needs a fool like him to be a burden!That's good! "We have neither friends nor enemies! Loud! We live in poverty." The poor situation is also really sad.The captains of the three teams who came up this year were accepted by everyone who insisted that they couldn't wring their necks.He only guarantees that he will go to work on time and leave work on time. As for the members who work more and less, come late and leave early, he doesn't even look at them!He was so timid in the "social education" activities!Determined not to offend a township party again!Stupid Laifu can see that the team is in a mess, what can we hope for at the end of the year? Since the team is unreliable, the old man has to find a way, he has to eat and wear clothes!The sow!Salt will come out of you, vinegar will come out of you, and coal will come out of you! ... It all comes out!Laifu is full of confidence: With his experience in raising pigs and his hard work in management and care, it will be successful! Picking up the grass scythe, carrying the grass cage on his back, and straddling his stiff legs, the old man Laifu walked down the slope, and the twilight was dim. One month later, at the fence gate of the old man Laifu's pigsty, a group of people surrounded him, and each of them poked their heads out from the low wall and cried out in surprise. This sow has become unbelievable: the old hair and skin have shed off, and new black hair grows out. Under the straight spine, there is a belly that has just bulged after eating, and the four hooves are thick and powerful. Take a leisurely walk in the circle and let everyone appreciate its restored appearance. Laifu was squeezed to the side, listening to everyone's discussion, feeling the pride of a winner in his heart, right?No.Think about it, the old man climbed into the ditch to dig a handful of grass during the three hours a day, when he was resting, smoking and chatting in other people's workshops.If it was in the river, he would dig into the cornfield and pull weeds. The corn leaves scratched the old man's face, and the sweat soaked it so that it burned.There is tender grass every day, can sows not grow?He pulled out several herbs, boiled them into soup, and washed the pigs for seven or eight days. The ringworm was cured, but the old man himself became tired and thin. For three meals a day, Laifu ate while squatting on the half of the rug at the entrance of the circle.The pig eats in the pen, and he pretends to eat at the mouth of the pen.When the temperature of the corn grits in the rice bowl is cool enough to stick into his fingers, he lifts the bottom of the bowl and pours it out to his beloved animals.Then, he went to scoop up the second bowl, which was what he really ate. One day, the old man just poured the rice into the pig bowl, turned around, and was stunned, ah!My wife is standing behind me. What does this waste of food mean to their family, which buys high-priced food?The old man looked at his wife in horror, ready to bear the natural criticism of a frugal woman.What he saw was a pair of wise and stern eyes. "Why are you hiding it from me?" The tone was painful, and Laifu couldn't answer. "You can't eat a bowl of rice in one sitting!" Like a hot thing sticking to his heart, the old man Laifu was moved, and he sincerely apologized to his wife and said: "I just say, save a little... a little..." from my bowl... "Save it, save it from our pot! How can it be saved from your bowl..." Her voice trembled, and she didn't say the word "save". The old man Laifu blinked and squatted down along the wall, unable to lift his head. So, his wife added two scoops of water to the pot every meal.Of course, the rice is a bit thinner, so save the fine ingredients from the pot for the pig... Can Laifu's sow not change her appearance? On this day, after breakfast, Laifu finished feeding the pigs, walked in, and happily gave an order to his wife: "Give me two steamed buns!" "What are you doing?" My wife asked while washing the dishes without looking up. "Go to the county!" Laifu took the cloth pocket. "What are you doing in the county?" My wife raised her head. "Good thing!" Although Lai Fu is stupid, he will play tricks when he is happy. The wife lowered her head and washed the bowls and chopsticks again, with a mature and prudent look that didn't pay attention. Laifu bent down, lowered his voice, and said into his wife's ear: "Lead our baby to find a man..." When my wife heard this, the dozens of years old village wife blushed and said, "I'm not old!" Seeing the sow's belly swell day by day, the nipples rubbing against the ground, and the skin of the belly can clearly see the new life beating, the old man Laifu was both happy and afraid, fearing that something might happen.After the sound of the day, he saw the sows pulling firewood in the pen, and he knew that this was a sign of labor. In order to prevent the sow from crushing the newborn piglets to death, Laifu pulled the trolley to the side of the pen, spread the quilt, and slept all night. The night dew wet the quilt, but the sow did not give birth. For three consecutive nights, Laifu was not discouraged, but became more careful. In the middle of the night on the fourth day, a sharp and crisp cry of a baby pig came to Laifu's heart with joy, hope, and comfort for the thrifty and hardworking master... "Ahh! I can give birth!" The last fog of worry in the old man's heart was cleared. Since then, ten new lives have been jumping around in the circle.As soon as the old man Laifu came back from work, he cleaned up the excrement in the pen, put dry loess on it, and fed and watered it. After he finished all this, he squatted aside and watched those little ones arching wildly under their mother's nipples and having fun in the circle covered with dry soil. The sound was more beautiful than the music, and the jumping posture was the most graceful Dance, the more you look at it, the more exciting it is. Laifu suddenly noticed that the sow was drooping, and was irritably avoiding the baby pigs chasing the teats.He was taken aback, grabbed the sow's ear and touched it, ah!not good!If something goes wrong, what an unimaginable tragic scene will appear here! He borrowed ten yuan, walked through the already cold river, and went to the small town veterinary hospital to buy veterinary penicillin.Only this medicine is good for reducing fever!Soon... After spending the ten yuan ticket, there was only a few cents left, and the sow finally survived the catastrophe.The old man Laifu had a false alarm and took care of him even more carefully. The old man's pumpkin face became even more shriveled.But he himself didn't notice it at all, and was still happily busy. "The pig left its mother, forty-five." Thirty days had just passed, and the old man Laifu saw that these little guys looked the same.Pointy ears, exactly the same as the boar from the County Breeding Station—their father.Long-waisted and thick-legged, like their mother.Hybrids are not bad! Five or six township party members came to place orders in a row, and Laifu greeted them with a smile on his face. While drinking the soup, the old man Kexian who first placed the order came to negotiate the price on behalf of the pig buyers. "It's easy to say! Easy to say!" Laifu said generously: "They are all good township parties, count as many as you can count!" Kexian smiled and said that they had a private discussion together, referring to the market price at the market: the highest pig baby at the county fair the day before yesterday sold for fifteen or sixteen yuan, and the pig baby from Laifu was worth this price... "It's easy to talk about!" Laifu still smiled, "The friendship between the township party is important!" "We don't lose you." Kexian said righteously: "Sixteen yuan for the little pig, fifteen yuan for the sow!" Laifu understood that due to the general decrease in autumn grain production, it was originally a season of rising prices, but the price of sows dropped after the baby pigs were busier than him, and sixteen yuan was really the highest price.With an excited expression on his pumpkin face, he said, "That's right, fifteenth piglet and fourteenth sow. You go back and explain to everyone." Kexian laughed: "I've never seen a pig seller cut the price himself! Your brother is really a good man!" As he spoke, he asked: "When will you catch it?" "Forty-five is an old saying. Let's insure the Xiangdang for forty days." Laifu said, "It's good to get the sow an extra day! Ask the Xiangdang to catch it back and keep it alive! It's okay for us to suffer an extra day of trouble." !" The old man Kexian walked away politely with a satisfied smile. In three to five days, the baby pig will be out of the trough, and more than one hundred and forty yuan is real.This income is very important to Laifu. The old couple began to discuss how to spend this sum of money on the things that need to be done most, and dare not spend it randomly! Laifu proposed: first buy 300 bags of grain, and in the spring and March of next year, the price of grain will definitely increase! The wife agreed with this solid proposal and reiterated the truth that as long as a farmer has a handful of grain to eat, he can live.She also proposed to buy a few more strings of foil to repair the roof, as it rained too much on a cloudy day. "Yes, yes, yes! Don't dare to delay!" Lai Fu said. The two were discussing and discussing, harmonious and in harmony. The little granddaughter climbed onto grandma's lap, yelling "Grandma!" and tore at the patched shirt. My wife gave Xiang Laifu a mysterious glance: "Granddaughter wants a shirt, did you see that?" She pointed to her granddaughter's forehead and said angrily, "You saw your grandpa's piglet too? Isn't it your mother's evil mind?" of!" Laifu laughed: "Buy, buy, buy! Pull a floral shirt for the baby!" "I don't want flowery sweaters! I want rain boots!" said the granddaughter, "I don't have rain boots to go to school in the rain, bare feet, nails pierced my feet..." My wife restrained her smile, and a pair of rain boots cost more than four yuan! Lai Fuxiang, his son who has been separated has been teaching for more than ten years, only earns thirty-eight yuan, and owes two to three hundred to the team, and the children don't even have a pair of rain boots.He patted his granddaughter's shaggy hair and said, "Buy! Buy the rain boots, and tear up the flowered shirts!" The granddaughter smiled happily and ran out the door. The old couple felt a rare joy in their hearts.Laifu yawned for a long time, and the exhaustion of the past few months came together. With a happy smile on his face, Wogua got into bed and started snoring... There was a knock on the door, and Laifu was awakened, and he got off the kang with a stare, and the captain was stepping in the door.He could tell at a glance that the captain's expression was not right!This middle-aged man, since he was in social education, usually has an indifferent face towards everyone and everything, why does he look nervous today?Are you afraid that something bad will happen? Sure enough, the captain told him that the commune called an emergency meeting when it was dark, and announced the "ten regulations on the development of pig raising business" formulated by the commune.Two of them relate to Laifu's real interests: sows raised by members of the commune are not allowed to be sold.Baby pigs born to sows are not allowed to go on the market, they are handed over to the production team and distributed among members, and the value is uniformly set at seven cents a catty... "Ah! My God!" Laifu couldn't believe his ears, as if he was dreaming.What to do? "God! The system governs us and our lives are miserable!" My wife also panicked. "That's right." The team leader said, "Your family is the only one raising sows in our team. I know how hard you have suffered. I think you will pick out the pigs out of our county tomorrow morning and sell them at the Linxian market..." "What did they say when they questioned you?" Lai Fu asked hastily. "I won't convey it yet! When he asked, I said I was sick! Prevaricate it! When I convey it tomorrow, you will leave early. Go ahead of the conveyance—I don't know if it's an exaggeration!" The captain had already thought of a way to escape , said confidently: "At most Director Han criticizes me a few words, it's nothing, it's better than losing half of your income!" The old couple of Laifu are so grateful that they don't know what to say. This captain who is usually indifferent has such a warm and considerate heart!What else can I say! "Get ready and leave early!" The captain urged when he went out. Laifu's drowsiness has long since disappeared, so it's not too late!He ordered his wife: "Look for grass ropes, tie piglets! Hurry up!" The rooster crowed out of the village, crossed the river, and turned over the plateau slope. At dawn, Laifu's feet had already stepped on the land of another county.When the peasants had finished their breakfast, Laifu found the pig and sheep market in an unfamiliar market. In a remote corner, he put down the basket for baby pigs, his feet were too tired to stand up. Just after the market opened, the buyers carried cages on their backs, asked the price, touched the baby pigs, and walked away without haggling.They have just arrived, and they still need to check the market... When the peasants who had just put on their jackets swarmed into the pig market, the buzzing sound of the market hovered in the air.Around Laifu squatted piles of unfamiliar farmers.Although this top-notch baby pig in the market is placed in a remote corner, it still cannot escape the eyes of farmers.Several honest buyers had already put the selected baby pig under their hands, and jointly attacked Laifu, negotiating the price.His price has been reduced to sixteen, and the buyer has also increased to fourteen, which is close to... At this moment, a hand stretched out and pressed down on the wooden beam of the bamboo cage.That hand is different from the hands of all rough farmers who have worked, slender and clean.Laifu raised his head and saw the face of Deputy Director Han of the commune, who was smiling smugly. "I'll buy all of this litter of baby pigs! I'll give you whatever price you want!" All the peasants turned their heads to look at the person who spoke so loudly.Seeing the uniform and look of the government worker, everyone stopped talking, and someone had a premonition that some entanglement was about to happen, and slipped away quietly. "Take it over there!" Director Han ordered his members. Laifu saw that there was a car parked there. "Master Han... Ren..." Laifu's Wogua had a begging smile on his face, "I only..." "Stop talking nonsense!" Director Han stepped back, and two young men stepped forward, each carrying a cage and walking towards the car. In the car, there were five or six people sitting by the side of the compartment, all members of the commune captured from several market towns, and their cages for baby pigs were all placed in the compartment. "Spontaneous power is really a ghost!" Director Han put his hands on his hips and sarcastically said to the commune members in the car, "I expected this! Run! Can you escape from China?" Get on the driver's seat, close the door with a bang, and the car starts.Really majestic! Laifu's mind went numb.Excessive nerve stimulation and long-distance travel have exhausted his energy. Now the thin body of a farmer in his old age is only sore and tired. He leans on the side of the car, dazed. When Director Han's roar woke up Laifu, what he saw when he opened his eyes was the familiar street and houses of Tianfang Village, and everyone in the car was gone. The people in the village gathered around when they heard the sound, and the cadres of the brigade and small brigade were also heard. The car was a temporary platform. Director Han explained the ten rules and the process of arresting Laifu to the members and cadres.After speaking, I want to come to Fu for a review. Laifu lowered his face, and Renka, who had never been on a high platform in his life, now stood on such a high car, facing so many eyes, Laifu couldn't say a word. "Money is more important, or is socialism more important?" Director Han asked. "Oh!" Lai Fu nodded vaguely. "What? Ask you which one is more important?" "Everything matters!" he said truthfully. "Nonsense! Socialism!" "Oh! Socialism!" He hastened to correct his confusion. "Now there is a complete dictatorship over small producers!" Director Han said. "Ah..." Lai Fu panicked when he heard the word "dictatorship", and almost bent over. He was finally allowed to climb down from the car, go home, and fell on the kang... When the life and strength supported Fu Xiaoxiao's body again, he came back to reality from the dream, the light on the roof beam was on, and Kexian and his wife were chatting. He was told that after he got out of the car that day, Director Han distributed ten baby pigs to the members of Sifang Village in public, at seven cents a catty.His wife advised him: "Forget it! Forget it! Everyone is safe and sound, thank God!" "Don't feel bad! People are important!" Kexian said consolingly, "It's all like not having a sow!" Lai Fuqiang pretended to smile. "The current policy has changed a lot!" Kexian said, "People who are taller than us, are there fewer people who suffer setbacks? We are ordinary people, and one death is not as good as an ant! Think about it, so that you can do it for yourself!" Those who have studied for a few days can speak reassuring words to Lai Fu who have never studied. Laifu respected this enlightened farmer who was literate and polite, and nodded sincerely. "Although everything has been returned to the public, the government is not at ease!" Kexian said, "I am afraid that our farmer's thoughts will not be returned to the public!" Lai Fu admired this view, but didn't understand it, and asked: "It's too much to control the world! We are jealous..." Kexian shook his head and smiled.When it comes to right and wrong to the government, he is tight-lipped, avoiding the topic, saying: "The township party that got the pig baby is upset, and asked me to send you the money to make up the difference!" "Ah!" Laifu was surprised and moved, and slipped down from the kang, pressed Kexian's hand that was touching in his arms, and said, "You dare not dare! Director Han caught the wind, can I still live? " "No way!" Kexian said in a low voice, "The township party members all said, 'Why don't you just pick up your faults against your conscience'!" "I will take care of my fellow countrymen!" Lai Fu held down the other party's hand firmly, "Am I looking for setbacks? Tell the township party quickly, don't dare to mess around!" "You stay..." Kexian said. "Don't dare!" Lai Fu pushed. "Leave……" "Don't dare..." When the two hands pushed back and forth, they couldn't move at last.Laifu saw something wet dripping from Kexian's enlightened eyes, and his eyes were so blurred that he couldn't see clearly! As if nothing had happened, the old man Laifu loaded up his tools three times a day and walked out of the courtyard to work.He does not tell anyone about his misfortune, and calmly treats everything that has happened and passed.During the break, the young man sat by the ground and smoked, and he also sat down and smoked. He no longer had the interest and enthusiasm to dig grass. When he got home, Laifu squatted in the courtyard to eat, not thinking of going to the pigsty at all.For three meals a day, it is only given three pots of pure roughage, and it is no longer willing to part with a handful of bran. No matter what changes have taken place in Laifu's feelings, the sows are still moving according to their own physiological laws.Look, the stones on the fence were knocked down, and the small wooden pillars of the fence gate were crooked. Laifu picked up a stick and beat the frantic guy into the hut.He found out: This thief is in heat again... When I came back from work later in the day, the gate of the fence was down on the fence, and the animal had long since disappeared. "Go find it!" His wife urged him, "It's a life!" "Let the wolves eat it!" Laifu said coldly, not out of anger, but to tell the truth, "I'm suffering too much!" He didn't look for it. The next day, when he was about to go to work, the animal rushed into the earthen gate of the small courtyard, stepped over the fence that fell to the ground, and devoured the food left over from yesterday. Soon, the old man Laifu saw that the belly of the sow began to swell, and when he touched it, there was a new life pulsating in the mother's womb—this shameless thing had passed a boar from somewhere and was already pregnant up. Laifu's heart softened, what is the fault of the pig? He began to add bran to the roughage, and then poured a bowl of rice into it every meal, so don't you just give birth to piglets like little mice! After the Spring Festival, the sow gave birth to eight litters of piglets, with sharp beaks, thin waists and small heads.Laifu couldn't lift his spirits no matter what. It has been more than forty days, and no one in the village has come to ask about the old man's piglet.The old man knew in his heart that in spring and February, the high price of corn rose to 30 cents a catty, the price of pigs plummeted, and the best baby pigs on the market only cost 5 yuan... He is fortunate: we don't have to go to the market!According to the ten regulations of the commune, it is better to sell it to the team at seventy cents per catty than the market. Laifu found the captain and explained his purpose. The captain was very troubled, and said: "It stands to reason that it should be given to the team. But in the current market, you can pick up a baby pig for three or two yuan. If you hand it over to the team, who will catch it? If no one catches it, what should I do?" "Then... the last time when the price of pigs in the market was high, we followed the ten rules. Now that the price of pigs has dropped, why don't we follow the ten rules?" Lai Fu said. "Last time, you understand before and after, so I can't help it!" The captain said, "That's Director Han's decision..." Lai Funeng understands that the captain has no bad intentions, and Director Han has to make decisions about the current matter. Coincidentally, Director Han passed Tianfang Village due to a business trip, and Laifu blocked Director Han's bicycle at the side of the field: "I'll give you a baby pig, Director Han!" "What do I want the baby pig to do? Hand it over to the team!" "Not in the team!" "No in the team, I can't help it! I don't raise pigs!" Director Han spread his hands. "You have ten rules!" Lai Fu said, "does that still count?" Only then did Director Han take a serious look at Laifu, and found that it was a face he had fought with before, and said, "If you don't want it in the team, then you can deal with it yourself." "That won't work!" Lai Fu said, "You stipulate that you should hand it over to the team, and I will hand it over to the team!" There were a bunch of people around, and Director Han spoke a little more politely, "Forget it! Don't want it in the team, you go to the market to deal with it." Laifu shook his head and asked: "You criticize me: 'Money is more important, or socialism is more important'? I now know that socialism is more important! I don't want to go to the capital road of the market..." Director Han looked at the old man who caught him, smiled "hehehe" and said, "When did I say that?" "On the car, there is a township party to prove it!" Laifu pointed at everyone. Director Han still smiled: "That time is that time, reality is reality! How about this, I'll talk to the captain later..." He said, pushing the bicycle, "I still have something urgent!" Laifu was speechless, staring blankly at the back of Director Han going away.A few young people indulged him: You carry the piglet, carry it to the commune, and dump it in Director Han's office, and see what he says... Come to think about it, this is really a relief, and it makes sense!However, he finally did not make such a heroic move...
