05 That year, that rabbit, that little thing

To be honest, when Zhang Sheng first heard his son about the breeding plan, he thought it was a child's random trick, and he sent him home just hoped that he would not continue to mess around. After all, this is the location of the district government, and it is not easy to get angry in front of so many outsiders to teach his son a lesson. But somehow, since his son left, his words have been lingering in his mind. The almost terrifying growth and reproduction speed of the rabbit made the college student who studied agriculture shocked the hearts of this college student who studied agriculture and also opened a new window for him. If the plan his son said worked and progressed smoothly, it would quickly solve the meat shortage in the base area, let alone the rabbit's fur products, and the winter clothes problem of soldiers. But how to do it specifically is another difficult problem. First of all, where did the initial capital come from? The site problem, and the problem of pest control. As an adult, Zhang Sheng thought much deeper than his son.

Throughout the morning, Zhang Sheng kept thinking about it so randomly, and he took out the paper he wrote from time to time. During lunch, Zhang Sheng took his large enamel teapot to the cafeteria to make food. When he walked on the road, he couldn't help but take out the paper and looked at it while walking. He tripped his feet and staggered, and the paper in his hand flew out. Zhang Sheng was stunned and chased after him quickly. A gust of wind blew, and it floated out more than ten meters, slowly landing at a person's feet. The man looked at it, bent down and picked it up, and glanced at the content on the paper, and his eyes flashed and looked carefully.

At this time, Zhang Sheng ran to the man and hurriedly said, "Hello, comrade. This piece of paper..." The man raised his head and smiled, "Is this what you wrote?" Zhang Sheng shook his head, "No, it was written by my son. This child was greedy recently and wanted to eat meat. He ended up getting such a thing." The man smiled and returned the paper, "The idea is really good. If you try to do it, it should be fine. By the way, you are a newcomer. You sound like a Northeastern person with an accent." Zhang Sheng took the paper and said, "Yes, I used to be a student of Northeastern University. After 'September 18', I went to Peking and took my wife and son to our Yan'an a few days ago." The two chatted for a few more times and separated.

In the afternoon, Zhang Sheng received a notice asking him to go to the Organization Department to discuss work matters. Zhang Sheng was very excited. Not long ago, his wife had been sent to Xinhua News Agency's "Reference News" for translation work. He quickly came to the organization department's mouth and shouted "Report!" Hearing the inside, "Please come in." He pushed the door and went in. There were two people sitting inside, one of the comrades from the district organization department, and the other was facing his back. After Zhang Sheng entered the house, he hurriedly stood attentively, "Report the leader, the new student Zhang Sheng came to report." "Please sit." The comrades in the district gave a greeting and pointed to a chair next to him. At this time, the person with his back to him turned around, and Zhang Sheng was shocked, "It's you!"

When Zhang Zhenhua returned home, he told Grandma Luo's family about her plan. After hearing this, Grandma Luo just thought it was a child who was messing around, smiled and perfunctory, and then went to do something else. Of course, the most excited person was Xiuxiu. She couldn't take long to eat meat and jumped up and down. Feng Erni was also a little moved by her daughter and asked, "Baby, what are you saying? But how do you take this rabbit? You have to have a cage to raise a rabbit? It's okay to raise one or two. If you raise too much in the future, where will the money come from?"

Zhang Zhenhua laughed and said, "That's why I want to bring Gouwa and his family to work together. This way, the capital will be less if the company has allocated it. After making money, it will be as easy as possible according to how much money each company has spent. In the future, it will be much easier. By the way, Xiu, tell Gouwa and the others about this and see what they mean." Xiuxiu looked at her mother, Feng Erni hesitated for a moment, nodded, and Xiuxiu ran out happily.

On that day, Zhang Sheng came back later than usual, and there was a man in his thirties and a thin-looking man following him. After entering the house, Zhang Sheng introduced: "This is a comrade from his superior, Xiaohua, named Uncle Chen." "Hello Uncle Chen." Zhang Zhenhua looked at the appearance of this person, and always felt that he had seen him somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

After sitting down, Zhang Sheng said, "Xiaohua, Uncle Chen is very interested in listening to your plan during the day. So I came here to see it. If it works, the district can provide some help." "That's it..." Zhang Zhenhua blinked, "That means getting the big head in the back district." Zhang Sheng was stunned and cared for him, "Xiaohua, how do you say it?" "Just seek truth." Zhang Zhenhua rolled his eyes. Uncle Chen smiled and said, "Then kid, do you think the district is suitable?" Zhang Zhenhua thought for a while, hum

After a long time, he said, "Then...then...then...that's the highest, the highest, six, I'm four, you six, you can't be higher. But we have the right to use the first batch of meat. As for the future, we'll do whatever we want." Uncle Chen laughed, "Okay! Then let's just say that." "Of course, it's nothing, just make a statement. Let's set a letter of association later, in triplicate, sign and stamp. If you don't keep your word and bully the children, I'll sue Chairman Mao!" Zhang Zhenhua shouted angrily with his waist.

"You bastard! You are going to rebel!" Zhang Sheng was so angry that he cursed, and raised his hand to beat him. Uncle Chen hurriedly stopped him and said, "The child is right." Zhang Zhenhua hid behind Fang Dongmei at this time and poked his little head out, "Dad, don't scold his child for being a bastard. From a biological point of view, it is not good for parents." After saying this, Zhang Sheng's face turned red with anger, but Fang Dongmei and Uncle Chen laughed so hard that their stomach hurt.

Then, Zhang Zhenhua called Xiuxiu and asked the other families what their attitudes were. Xiuxiu said that the children agreed, but most of the adults at home were still worried. This situation was naturally expected, so Zhang Zhenhua suggested: Since this is the case, let the children start first, and then hand it over to the adults after everything goes well and the scale is expanded. Uncle Chen also agreed to this plan. Then, Zhang Zhenhua talked about a series of breeding plans after raising rabbits, and even proposed a plan to use the Yanhe cage to raise fish after spring. This semi-natural and semi-artificial method aroused Uncle Chen's curiosity. Zhang Zhenhua actually only knew a little, so he roughly said it.

This plan, which Zhang Zhenhua called the "vegetable basket project" was decided so. As for the impact this project will have in the future, it is not a question he considered.

After Uncle Chen left, Zhang Sheng grabbed his son again, "You brat, you are too brave. Have you considered the consequences of failure? As the saying goes, "The family is rich, but the one with fur is not counted." You have raised so many things, what if you get sick or a disaster? Then there is no place for you to cry." Zhang Zhenhua blinked, "It's okay. I'm not you. You are not a college student." "I studied agriculture and not a veterinarian!" Zhang Sheng shouted in anger. "That's it." Zhang Zhenhua didn't care, "It's not that there is a district government, just ask them to find a professional veterinarian." At this time, Fang Dongmei walked in, "Okay, don't argue, don't you eat?" "Oh-just eat." Zhang Zhenhua ran to wash his hands. Zhang Sheng sighed alone.

The next afternoon, Zhang Sheng rushed home early, grabbed his son who was taking a nap, and took him to the district government. In the communication room, Uncle Chen handed over a pile of money to Zhang Sheng and said, "This is part of the funds supported by the district government. There is also this," and said, "As he said, he took out a stack of papers, "This is a draft agreement. You go back and take a look, and then ask how many households the villagers are willing to participate. Then we will sign a formal contract." After saying that, he smiled at Zhang Zhenhua and said, "Little guy, don't let my uncle down." Zhang Zhenhua nodded vigorously, "That's a must."

After leaving the district government compound, Zhang Zhenhua suddenly remembered something, "Dad, how are you doing at work? Why don't you believe me?" When he heard this, Zhang Sheng snorted, "My job is to watch you, don't mess up the matter." "Ah?"

When they got home, Zhang Zhenhua gathered a group of little guys together. After talking about the matter, everyone was naturally very happy. Then they began to assign tasks: Gouwa went home and asked her to help make ten rabbit cages first. The requirements were big and strong, and it was best to make them with iron wire. Zhao Lao Xiucai and his grandson Zhao Mo were responsible for collecting rabbits. After all the assignment, the little guys shouted slogans: "For the sake of their belly, struggle!" Zhang Shenglei, who was beside him, was so burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

The cages are easy to handle. In a few days, dozens of square cages were made with iron wire or large cages woven with thick wooden strips. Then each family received one. The most important thing is that rabbits are a bit difficult to handle. Rabbits are timid by nature and run fast, so hunters usually kill them directly and sell them. In addition, it is winter now, and rabbits rarely come out to move. Therefore, within seven days, they received one male, three female, and four rabbits. These four rabbits were taken home by Zhang Zhenhua and Xiuxiu. As a preview experiment, a small tent was specially set up in the yard.

After the initial discomfort, the four rabbits were finally no longer afraid of people. During this period, Zhang Sheng and his son used the four rabbits as samples to teach the children how to understand rabbit habits and body language.

Before we knew it, 1937 quietly passed by ushered in 1938. The two female rabbits raised by Zhang Zhenhua's family were quietly pregnant. During this period, we received several rabbits one after another, including the one from Uncle Chen to launch the Eighth Route Army. In this way, each family could at least raise a pair of rabbits. With the experience of studying at Zhang Zhenhua's family, the little guys naturally did not accumulate some experience in raising rabbits. Things seemed to be going well so far.
