1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 6 Since I can’t go to a big company, I’ll start my own!

Chapter 6 Since I can’t go to a big company, I’ll start my own!
Su's mother slowly counted out four hundred yuan and handed it to her eldest and second sisters-in-law reluctantly.

It was obvious that she didn't want to split up the family. If they didn't, she would have control over the money. Apart from anything else, just holding it in her hands would give her a sense of security.

Now that more than half of it has been taken away at once, it would be strange if she didn't feel bad. However, Father Su had the final say on all the important matters in the family, so there was nothing she could do even if she didn't want to.

The eldest and second sisters-in-law across the street are just the opposite. Who doesn’t want to be the master of their own house?

Moreover, they had not expected that there would be so much money in the family treasury in recent years. Two hundred yuan was a huge sum of money in that era.

A bicycle at the supply and marketing cooperative only costs 120 yuan, but of course you need a bicycle ticket to buy it.

If I really had a bicycle, I would definitely be the coolest guy in the team!
At present, the entire brigade has only one bicycle, which is bought with the team’s money. Usually, the brigade cadres are allowed to ride it only when they go to the commune for meetings!

Of course, you can borrow it if you have an emergency, one cent each time.

Su Wenchen watched his mother put the remaining money back into the box.

He said hurriedly.

"Mom, where's my money?"

"You haven't gotten married yet, so I won't let you keep the money. I'll save it for you, and I'll give it to you when you get married! Otherwise, it won't be long before there's nothing left!"

Obviously, Su's mother knew her youngest son very well.

I know that once he saves a little money, he will go to the county to have a good meal. If I give him these two hundred yuan, it will probably be gone in a few months.

Just eating this big meal today made her feel heartbroken. Who would add spices when cooking? It’s considered generous to add some soy sauce.

This youngest son really doesn't know how to live. Su's mother thought that no matter what the youngest son said, the money must never be put in his hands.

Su Wenchen was helpless. He had originally thought that after the family division, the financial power would be in his hands.

such a pity.

In this era, if you are not married, you will have no say in the family. However, this is not his problem, it must be the original body's fault.

Father Su also agreed.

"Youngest, then leave your money with your mother first. When you get married, give it to your wife along with the betrothal gifts. Don't worry, your mother won't embezzle your money!"

Su Wenchen looked at his elder brother in despair, but what he got was.

"Mom, I think you're doing the right thing. The youngest child is lazy and greedy. You definitely can't leave the money in his hands, otherwise it will be spent quickly."

Su Wenchen looked at his second brother again.

Su Wenlie scratched his head and said dully.

"Well, youngest, I think what big brother said is right!"

Su Wenchen said pitifully.

"Brother, you were not like this before. You used to be on my side!"

At this time, Su's father also interrupted.

"Okay, the division of the family property has been settled, but you can save your own money from now on. Your mother and I will not be responsible!"

Of course, Su's father didn't think Su Wenchen could make much money.

Then he said, "I have finished writing the document. Each of you come and put your handprint on it!"

Su Wenchen took a copy of the family division document and took a look at it. He was surprised that his father's handwriting was quite good. He never could believe that such a rough man like his father could write so beautifully.

It seems that his father must have been a handsome young man in the area.

After dividing the family.

The three brothers began to move their own food!
Su Wenchen saw two bags of bran left.

"Dad, give me the chicken. Or give me these two bags of bran as well!"

Father Su waved his hand.

"Move it there, it was originally used to feed the chickens!"

On the other side, the sister-in-law watched Su Wenchen carry two more bags of bran back.

He whispered to his eldest brother Su Wen Zhang.

"Your father is partial to the youngest. If the money is kept with your mother, maybe he will give the money of the old couple to the youngest one."

Su Wen Zhang took a glance.

"If you want, you can also leave our two hundred with my mother. My mother will definitely give you interest when the time comes!"

Hearing this, the eldest sister-in-law shook her head repeatedly, "That won't work! Wouldn't that be a waste of time to divide the family?"

It’s safer to keep the money in your own hands!
Su Wen Zhang warned again, "Don't go back to your parents' house and show off. If you dare to give money to your parents' house, then don't come back in the future!"

The eldest sister-in-law replied angrily. "I'm not stupid. I don't know how to live my life at my parents' home. I don't know how to live my life here! Only a fool would give money to those blood-sucking worms!"

Su Wen Zhang nodded.

He knew that his wife had some minor flaws, but she was doing it for the sake of their small family, so he generally didn't care about her little thoughts.

But he absolutely could not tolerate the idea of moving out of his own house to support his mother's family.

After dividing the house.

Su Wenchen went back to the yard to prepare feed before it got completely dark. Now the five old hens were his.

How many eggs you can eat tomorrow depends on how hard you work tonight.

Father Su watched Su Wenchen smashing the boiled bone hard.

"Youngest, what are you doing? This bone can be cooked a few more times. Even if the flavor isn't as strong as it was at the beginning, don't throw it away!"

"Dad, I'm getting chicken feed! I got a secret recipe for raising chickens. Follow the instructions above to feed the chickens at least two eggs a day!"

After listening to Su Wenchen's words.

Father Su said unhappily.

"Do you think I'm a fool? What secret recipe can you get? And you lay two eggs every day! Do you think eggs fall from the sky?"

"By the way, the family property has been divided up. What are you going to do? Are you going to collect grass for the pigs tomorrow? Your work points won't be enough to feed you!"

When Su Wenchen heard this, his thoughts changed and he spoke directly.

"Dad, for now I must cut grass for pigs, because I need some time to study how to raise chickens. By then, if I can lay two eggs a day, I won't starve even if I cut grass for pigs!"

"You!" Upon hearing this, Father Su was so angry that he almost couldn't hold his pipe.

"Okay, I just want to see how you feed the chickens with shells and bones! They lay two eggs a day, why didn't you say a hundred a day?"

Su Wenchen rolled his eyes.

One hundred eggs a day, even the divine chicken can’t lay that many!

Thinking of this, Su Wenchen took the opportunity to speak.

"Dad, what do you think about adding a chicken farm to our brigade? When the time comes, each chicken I manage can lay at least two eggs a day! This will also be an income for our brigade!"

Su Wenchen knew that it was impossible to do business privately in this era, and it was even more impossible to expand it.

Five chickens is the limit for him to raise by himself. Even if he raises a few more secretly, it won't solve the fundamental problem. Besides, if he raises more, once he is reported, it may even affect his father's position!
The few eggs laid by five chickens can only satisfy your appetite at most.

So if you want to completely change your quality of life, you either have to work in a state-owned factory, but in this era you need connections.

Su Wenchen couldn't work in a large state-owned factory, but he could set up his own state-owned chicken farm!
With my own golden finger, it shouldn't be a problem!
This will make it a collective industry. Although the money earned from selling eggs belongs to the collective, as the farm manager, he will have the final say on which supply and marketing cooperative to sell to.

You can also exchange materials with other state-owned factories!
Because eggs are in short supply everywhere now, of course they have to expand their chicken farms to exchange resources with those state-owned factories before they are qualified to negotiate other things with others.

Otherwise, if you carry two eggs in your pocket, you probably won’t even be able to get in even with the guard!

Thinking of this, Su Wenchen felt that the future seemed clear, and if things really worked out, the next ten years would not be too difficult to endure.

After the reform and opening up, he can also use the accumulated technology and connections to start his own business.

Maybe in the future I can even make it into the Fortune 500!
Father Su didn't know what Su Wenchen was thinking. In his impression, an old hen would occasionally lay two eggs a day.

But laying two eggs every day is ridiculous!

He said directly, "Don't talk nonsense to me! If two eggs a day are not enough, go and lay them yourself!"

Su Wenchen said, patting his chest.

"Dad, don't worry, if it's not enough, I'll get it myself!"

"Get out of the way! If you can lay eggs, lay one for me now!"

After saying that, he walked into the inner room without looking back.

When Little Stone, who was playing with ants nearby, heard this, he immediately started to make a noise.

"Oh~~ Uncle is going to lay eggs! And he'll lay two eggs a day!"

"Hey, kid, you dare to laugh at me? I'll catch you and stuff you into a chicken's ass and turn you into an egg!"

As Su Wenchen said this, he pretended to catch the other person.

"Hey! Uncle Laying Eggs is going to catch the kids!"

With that, he ran away!
"You run so fast, little brat! Wait till the chicken lays eggs tomorrow and I'll make you so hungry that you'll die!"
