Wanglou Brigade also raised pigs as part of their tasks, without exception.
The chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, and sheep sold in the city's grocery stores were all raised by farmers and then handed over.
For safety's sake, the Wanglou Brigade, confident in their ample supplies of feed grain and with men and women of all ages willing to gather pig feed in their spare time for work points, raised two extra piglets. Fortunately, though one died halfway, the remaining three pigs grew healthily.
After turning in two work pigs, the production brigade still had one pig left, weighing about 120 kg.
Upon hearing this news, Feng Qingxue checked the calendar and found out that Wang Zhenguo had set the day of the pig slaughtering on New Year's Eve, at the vacant ground in front of the branch secretary's office.
Unaware of why such a day and place were chosen, Feng Qingxue made sure to go have a look.
