Chapter 202 Arriving at the chicken farm
"Director Liu, let me go to the chicken farm."
Of course, the summer solstice will be fought for on its own.
Director Liu hesitated.
"Comrade Xiaoxia, you want to go to the chicken farm, I have no objection.
But I want to make it clear to you in advance. The chicken farm is not in our village. The location of the chicken farm and pig farm is relatively remote.
Moreover, all employees of the chicken farm must live there and cannot come back unless they have a break every week.
There are dormitories over there at the chicken farm, but the conditions are not very good. It is relatively difficult, so you have to think carefully. "
Director Liu also didn't expect that this young girl would actually be willing to go to the chicken farm.
It actually made her change a little bit from her initial preconceived dislike for this girl.
Xia Zhi nodded,
"Don't worry, Director, I was mentally prepared before I came. Since I'm here to support the construction, of course we won't be afraid of it no matter how hard or tiring it is."
Director Liu nodded and started to go through the formalities for her. While he was going through the formalities here, he heard the man next to him walking over.
"Director Liu, this is a relative from my hometown, a distant sister of mine.
The man died, and with two children, an orphan and a widower, he came to me and lived a hard life.
Do you think you can find a way to arrange a temporary job for her first? In the village, the food relationship is definitely not easy to deal with. "
The man lowered his voice and whispered there. If Xia Zhi hadn't been standing in front of the table, he might not have heard it.
She couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart. If she hadn't listened to her errands, when the man and the woman were talking just now, they were obviously husband and wife, and the woman spoke of her child's father.
Why did the man say he was a distant relative when he introduced Director Liu?
Xia Zhi stood there calmly.
Director Liu soon completed the procedures for Xia Zhi, and at the same time he also completed the procedures for the woman.
Xia Zhi is a regular worker, because Xia Zhi's transfer order is a regular worker, but that woman is a temporary worker, and she is assigned to the same chicken farm as Xia Zhi.
Xiangyang Chicken Farm.
Director Liu handed them two letters of introduction.
"Okay, while it's early now, go out and look for the bullock cart. If you go to the chicken farm earlier, you can still settle down. It just so happens that this sister-in-law has two children, so she can keep you company on the road."
As soon as Director Liu finished speaking, the man immediately took the letter of introduction.
When the summer solstice arrived and they found an ox cart that could take them away, they saw the sister-in-law with their two children and the man whispering in the corner.
The two of them were whispering there, not knowing what they were talking about, but the sister-in-law kept nodding.
Xia Zhi explained the situation to the bullock cart comrade, who asked her to get on the cart.
After a while, the sister-in-law got into the car with her two children. When she saw Xia Zhi, the sister-in-law's eyes suddenly lit up.
"You are, you are... the kind person in the car."
Xia Zhi smiled at her.
The man left long ago without looking back.
"Sister, it's such a coincidence that we meet here again. Where are you taking your child? Who was that man just now?"
It wasn't that Xia Zhi wanted to meddle, it was just that he couldn't hold back his curiosity.
The carriage had already started to move, and the sister-in-law was sitting next to Xia Zhi holding the two children, and then she whispered.
"Comrade, my surname is Li. My name is Li Zhaodi, this is my daughter-in-law Wang Xiaohong, and in my arms is my son Wang Dabao. We are here to join our relatives. The man just now is my distant eldest brother."
"Oh, it turns out to be your eldest brother!"
The little girl said coldly,
"Mom, isn't that my dad?"
The woman couldn't help but reached out and pinched her daughter and scolded her,
"Stop talking nonsense, where is your father? You are mistaken, that is your uncle."
The little girl was pinched and felt aggrieved at the same time.
Still wanting to say something else, Li Zhaodi hurriedly took out a small piece of steamed bun from her pocket and stuffed it into Xiao Hong's hand. Sure enough, she got something to eat, and the child completely forgot what she wanted to say.
Xia Zhi curled her lips, but didn't say much. This was a matter of mutual consent, and she, as an outsider, had no right to question it.
Besides, what is going on here? It’s not easy for me to meddle in such nosy matters.
I knew the chicken farm was far away, but I didn’t expect it to be so far away.
The bullock cart traveled for most of the day, and when the sky gradually darkened, they finally saw the shadow of the chicken farm.
It's really desolate. The only good thing about this place is that it's close to the main road.
Across the vast plains, you can see a patch of houses.
The coachman driving the carriage was an enthusiastic and eloquent man, and he introduced them to many people on the road.
Only then did the two of them realize that the pig farm and chicken farm were actually in the same place.
Although they are two units, they are actually separated by a wall.
There are not only chicken and pig farms here, but also a place to raise cattle.
The best thing about their place is that there is a river nearby.
The river is not a famous river, but it is said that the fish and meat in this river are plump.
And this place is only three miles away from the nearest village, so it's convenient if you have something to do.
This is a geomantic treasure land selected by the leading cadres of surrounding farms. It is said that it is surrounded by mountains and rivers.
The bigger advantage is that this place is next to their highway.
Where there are roads here, the traffic is more prosperous. When their farms and surrounding units need supplies, it is convenient to come here to pull goods.
So it can be considered a good place, but of course it is really remote. It is said that it is 80 miles away from the nearest county seat.
In addition to being self-sufficient, it is extremely difficult to buy anything. It is a place with no villages or shops.
When the carriage arrived, the two received a warm welcome from the chicken farm comrades.
Only then did I realize that the chicken farm occupies a very large area. The chicken farm here raises more than 1,000 chickens.
You can smell the pungent smell just outside the chicken farm.
The director of the chicken farm is a middle-aged man in his 40s, and there are ten people in the chicken farm.
Of course, this number includes the two of them.
Five of them are local and I heard they live in the village ahead, and two of them are from the countryside.
Only the field director and the two of them were helpless.
Their dormitory is not far from the chicken farm, about 1km.
Why are the dormitories built so far away? It's mainly a pig farm. The smell of chicken farms is too strong, and many people are not happy to live here.
The factory director asked them to go to the dormitory to rest and tidy up today. They would have a day off tomorrow and start work officially the day after tomorrow.
There is no canteen here. You usually cook by yourself. You can go back to the dormitory to eat at noon and take a rest. The work and rest time in the chicken farm is still a little different from other places, and the time control is not so strict.
The factory director took them to the dormitory, and it was only then that they could see that this was a small dormitory area with a total of 30 rooms.
It turns out that workers from the nearby pig farms, chicken farms, and cattle farms all lived here.
