Chapter 184 Liu Zhitai is dating someone

"Hey, the difference between special police and general public security is like the difference between scouts and regular soldiers in the army. It's basically like that." Liu Zhiye explained the difference succinctly to the two seniors.

Hearing this, the third uncle's eyes sparkled: "So, Tielin, that brat, has made progress!"

"Really, Zhiye?" The uncle's mood was obviously agitated. He looked at Liu Zhiye expectantly, his eyes revealing a desire for an answer.

Liu Zhiye smiled and nodded gently. There was a hint of pride in his voice: "Indeed, you are right. And let me tell you another good news - Tielin not only performed well in training, but also actively approached the party organization. He has submitted an application to join the party and is honored to become a probationary member!"

"Wow! This is really good news! Yuansheng! You treat us to a meal at noon today!" The third uncle was also very happy with Liu Tielin's performance.

The uncle's eyes were shining with uncontrollable excitement, and his eye sockets were even red. In Tielin's growth process, there has never been a moment that made him so proud as today.

His son has finally made it big. As parents, how can they not be excited and feel extremely happy?

"Please, you must please, Zhiye, don't be in a hurry to leave. We still have a jar of 30-year-old aged wine at home. Let's drink it today."

Liu Zhiye was a big drinker, and he was quite interested when he heard that: "That's great, I haven't drunk much in a while, so I'll let myself go today."

The three of them were chatting and laughing when the aunt and her friends came back.

"Hey, what's going on? You guys are laughing so happily, share it with me and make me happy too." She greeted them with a smile and ease.

There was excitement in the uncle's eyes. He waved to the aunt and said to her with a smile: "Huizhi, come quickly. I have good news to tell you."

The eldest aunt frowned with a hint of curiosity and responded, "Hey, what's the matter? You look so mysterious."

When she came closer, her uncle whispered everything in her ear: "Tie Lin is like this, like this, like this..."

"Hey! Is this true? Oh my! I'm so happy! No more words, let's go back now. I'll cook some delicious dishes for us to celebrate together at noon." The aunt said excitedly.

Liu Zhiye smiled and said, "Aunt, we are not in a hurry. It is not time for dinner yet! You can take a rest first! Let's chat..."

"That's right, uncle!"

"I heard from Uncle Three just now that the laying hens we raise have started laying eggs. What's going on?" He asked about the chicken farming situation again.

After hearing this, the uncle's smile was as bright as the warm spring sun. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, the chickens have been laying eggs for more than a week. In the first few days, the eggs were still small and exquisite. Now each chicken can lay one egg on average, and some can even lay two."

"Wow! So our 1500 hens can now lay more than 2000 eggs a day?" Liu Zhiye said in surprise.

Eggs are not cheap nowadays. A small one costs one cent, and a large one costs two cents. Yes, they are not sold by pound, but by the piece.

"Well, there are more than that. There are at least two thousand. After a while, it will be the peak egg-laying season. At least three thousand eggs will be laid a day."

Liu Zhiye pondered for a moment, then firmly proposed: "Uncle San, we should consider further expanding the scale of laying hen breeding. With the rich experience we have accumulated now, it is time to expand."

“I suggest that in the early stages, we don’t have to rush to sell the eggs, but rather keep them for hatching new chicks.

The goal is to raise at least 10,000 more hens, which would produce 20,000 to 30,000 eggs a day.

In this way, I can earn a stable income of 200 to 300 yuan a day just by selling eggs."

After hearing this, the third uncle, the eldest uncle, and the eldest aunt fell into deep thought. After a while, the third uncle was the first to break the silence: "It is a good idea to expand the scale of chicken farming, but we have to face a problem. The problem of chicken feed is not easy to solve. Chickens will not lay eggs if they only eat grass."

"That's true," the aunt continued in agreement, "but it's already very difficult for us to raise the existing livestock!"

"This is indeed a later problem!" Uncle also joined the discussion. "It's not so bad in the summer, but when winter comes, the situation will be bad. The livestock can only eat grains, but now there is not enough food for us, so how can we take care of them?"

Liu Zhiye smiled and said, "Then we will start to increase the silage from now on. The silage materials can be fresh straw, grass, leaves, etc...."

"Build containers for silage storage, such as cement pools, earth pits, etc. The volume of the container should be adapted to the amount of raw materials used."

"Clean out the impurities and dirt in the silage raw materials, chop them up and put them into containers for fermentation..."

The third uncle's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked in surprise: "Can we do it this way? Can it work?" Liu Zhiye comforted him: "Don't worry, old man! It will be absolutely fine. People on the grassland use this method to help their livestock survive the winter!"

"Well, let's give it a try. Tomorrow I will go to the commune to ask the agricultural technicians for clarification." The third uncle made the decision without hesitation.

Seeing that the third uncle agreed, the eldest uncle thought for a while and said, "It will take time to expand the scale of breeding. In my opinion, there is no need to keep the eggs. If you keep them for a long time, they will not last. We should sell them now. What do you think?"

"Okay, then I'll buy all the eggs for these few days and won't let the villagers suffer any loss. No matter big or small, all will be charged at two cents each. What do you think?" Liu Zhiye asked with a smile.

The third uncle made the decision and said, "Why not? In the end, the villagers are still taking advantage of you!"

So, everyone stopped talking and immediately instructed the members to count the exact number of eggs so that Liu Zhiye could take them all away that day.

"Secretary, I have counted the eggs. There are 12,323 eggs in total. The total payment required is 246 yuan, 40 cents and 6 cents."

Liu Zhiye smiled and said, "Don't worry about the small change! I'll make it a round number for you, which is 250 yuan!"

"Hey! Thanks, big boss!" The uncle joked. We are all family and don't really care about this little thing.

As Liu Zhiye spoke, he took out a handful of "Great Unity" from his pocket, counted out twenty-five, and handed them to his uncle.

The uncle did not take it directly, but gestured to the man just now, asking him to accept it: "You can put it in the account!"

Seeing what was going on, my aunt suggested, "Let's go! Let's go home and celebrate!"

While having lunch, the third uncle also brought Liu Zhiye some good news.

"Zhiye, the land we applied for has finally been approved. What are your plans? When do you plan to start construction?"

Liu Zhiye was very happy when he heard this. "Great, there is no rush for this matter. I will go back and think about it, and then ask the people from the Lei family in Beijing to come and see how to build it. I also need to prepare some building materials in advance."

"The Lei family? Are they the family that built the garden for Cixi?" The uncle was surprised when he heard this. What on earth did his nephew want to do? Even building a garden required someone with such a prominent background to come forward and build it.

"OK!"

.........

In the afternoon, Liu Zhiye, who was drunk, no longer insisted and asked Xiao Yu to drive him back to his home in Beijing - No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

When he arrived at his home, he felt that the alcohol had dissipated. Apart from the smell of alcohol, he did not feel any other discomfort. The alcohol had long been transformed into system energy.

The afternoon sun was still scorching the earth mercilessly. Before four o'clock, the yard was deserted. He carried two heavy watermelons and hurried to the east across the yard.

As soon as he stepped into the east courtyard, he was greeted by the laughter and joy of the family. "Hmm? Are there any guests at home?" He wondered curiously.

With a heart full of doubts and excitement, he couldn't help but call out loudly: "Mom! Mom! I'm back!"

The warm conversation in the room was interrupted by the sudden noise. Deng Ru, Gan Ning, Liu Zhitai, Liu Zhiruo, Liu Jingzhai, and the youthful and beautiful He Hongmei all stopped talking and looked at each other.

Seeing this, Liu Zhitai explained with a smile: "My brother is back, Hongmei, come with me, I will take you to see him."

After hearing this, He Hongmei's face flushed with shyness. She nodded gently, her voice soft and full of expectation: "Okay."

"Brother!" Liu Zhitai greeted Liu Zhiye as he stepped out of the house. Liu Zhiye was standing in the yard, washing his face with warm water from the sun.

Liu Zhiye immediately put down the towel in his hand, turned his eyes to his brother, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then, he noticed the graceful woman next to Liu Zhitai, her eyebrows and eyes were like picturesque, revealing a gentle air.

"Oh! It's my brother who's back. Hey! Who is this?" Liu Zhiye asked curiously.

Liu Zhitai introduced to Liu Zhiye with a proud smile: "Brother, let me introduce you to my girlfriend, He Hongmei."

Turning to He Hongmei, he said gently: "Hongmei, this is my elder brother, Liu Zhiye, whom I often mentioned to you."
