Chapter 304: Friendship Between Men
As soon as the New Year was over, the Lao Ji family entered a new round of busy work.
First, the chicken farm was cleaned and disinfected, and then the piglets were brought back to raise. Just like last year, there were 35 piglets to raise this year.
There were still 5 ducks on the reservoir. This year, Uncle Xu’s wife, Aunt Xu, was coming over, so the manpower on the reservoir was relatively sufficient. However, there was still a lot to do because Ji Jianjun started raising more ducks. He bought more than 50 ducks.
Eggs in the college town were pretty easy to sell and the feedback was very good. But there was basically not enough to meet demand, so this year more than 50 ducks were added to the reservoir.
Aunt Xu suggested raising more, and said that the reservoir was big enough to handle it.
Ji Jianyun smiled and said that this was enough. Also, for Uncle Xu’s sake, Aunt Xu’s salary was the same as everyone else.
Everyone’s salary was raised this year. Ji Jianyun gave annual raises for the past few years. Last year the salary was 50 yuan, and this year it was 55. Aunt Xu’s salary was the same as Uncle Xu. Together, they earned 110 yuan a month, which definitely put them in the high income bracket.
However, outsiders didn’t know how much Ji Jianyun paid Aunt Xu, and Ji Jianyun also told them not to tell anyone.
With Aunt Xu coming to work in the reservoir, Ji Jianyun felt that it was worth it. Aunt Xu was a good worker, and took care of all the ducks and sheep. More importantly, the couple lived next to the reservoir, and there were three dogs. It’s very safe.
