Chapter 70 Mission Pig
After breakfast, some went to work, and others got busy with their own tasks.
Lu Yuanqing took the excited Lu Yuanbo directly to Cheng Ming's house.
"Brother, shouldn't we go find the brigade leader first and go to Brother Cheng's house with him?" Lu Yuanbo asked, puzzled.
Lu Yuanqing smiled, "When we get there, the captain might already be waiting for us."
It's not that he's slow; it's just that Zhao Zhongcai likes to be ahead of time.
"Oh! Okay!" Lu Yuanbo nodded to indicate that he understood.
"Brother, do you think we can bring the task pigs home to feed next year? That way we can get three more work points every day!" Lu Yuanbo asked.
There are currently no restrictions on raising pigs in the village.
But everyone is struggling to feed themselves, so how can they have the energy to raise pigs?
Moreover, it's not something you can just raise whenever you want.
Each year, the commune only had a limited number of piglets, which were distributed among many production teams. A production team was lucky if it could get two piglets.
Once the piglets are brought back to the village, those who want to raise pigs can apply to the village head for the three work points.
The team leader also prioritizes hiring experienced pig farmers.
This year, Cheng Ming's family secured this task; his wife, Ye Fang, is quite skilled at raising pigs.
“My younger sister was so envious back then. She even said it would be great if our family could get this assignment next year,” Lu Yuanbo said.
Lu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow. "Who in our family has the spare time to raise pigs! Relying on Xiao Nan?"
Working all day already takes up all his energy, and you want to cause him more trouble? Lu Yuanqing said he wouldn't agree.
“Xiao Nan can do it too! But what my little sister means is that every day before she goes to school, she takes Xiao west to collect pig feed, and during the day Xiao Nan feeds the pigs!” Lu Yuanbo said.
Lu Mingnan is already six years old. Lu Yuanhuan, at that age, is already standing on a small stool on the stove, learning to cook with his mother.
Lu Yuanqing still thought he was too young and usually wouldn't ask him to do anything, only letting him take care of the two younger ones.
"Alright! Impossible, don't even think about it!" Lu Yuanqing shook his head and refused.
"Why? Because it adds up to three extra work points every day!" Over a year, that adds up to quite a bit!
"Because... guess..." Lu Yuanqing smiled and kept everyone in suspense.
Lu Yuanbo: "..."
"Alright," Lu Yuanqing patted the back of his head, "There might be changes in pig farming next year, you'll find out then!"
He has recently been discussing the possibility of starting a side business with Zhao Zhongcai.
What I said at the captain's house that day wasn't just empty talk.
Zhao Zhongcai didn't know why, even though Lu Yuanqing could clearly sense his helplessness regarding his tendency to cause trouble.
However, this time, Zhao Zhongcai listened silently to several plans and then gave his own opinions.
Their village is still too poor, so any plans that require a lot of money upfront are not feasible.
Don't assume that things are a little better this year. In reality, the village has been poor for a long time, and all ideas have to be developed gradually.
Finally, the idea of collective pig farming convinced Zhao Zhongcai to agree.
Everything is proceeding slowly.
……
Cheng Mingjia.
When the two brothers arrived, the brigade leader had already arrived, and his voice came from the Cheng family's pigsty.
Lu Yuanqing turned and headed towards the pigsty.
"You're here!" Zhao Zhongcai greeted them in a good mood.
As Lu Yuanqing stepped into the stinking pigsty, he chuckled, "Have you decided which one to give up?"
“This one looks quite spirited!” Zhao Zhongcai replied.
Lu Yuanqing looked in the direction he was pointing and saw two large, fat pigs in the pigpen.
Although it's called fat, it only weighs a little over 100 pounds.
However, for Zhao Zhongcai and his men, this was already a huge fat pig.
They can't afford to feed them grain now, they rely on pig feed. The fact that they're so fat shows Ye Fang's skill in feeding pigs.
After all, the only requirement from above is that the pigs delivered must weigh at least 90 jin (45 catties)!
The fat pig that Zhao Zhongcai pointed to looked like the most energetic one.
"That one is the heaviest!" Cheng Ming said with some pride. His wife's pig-raising skills had just been praised by the brigade leader, and maybe next year his family would have another chance to win the pig-raising task.
Lu Yuanqing smiled!
Sure enough, anything handed over was the best.
"Alright! Get out of here and leave!" Lu Yuanqing urged.
It's almost nine o'clock. If we keep dragging this out, I don't know when I'll be back.
The pig farm is in that direction outside the town; it's more than a two-hour walk away!
Looking at Lu Yuanbo, who remained excited throughout, Lu Yuanqing thought that they were the only ones who didn't feel tired from such a long journey, but instead found it very interesting.
He wouldn't have wanted to go if Zhao Zhongcai hadn't insisted he come along!
The task of delivering the pig only requires the captain and Cheng Ming!
Facing the rising sun, a group of four people, carrying pig feed, set off for the pig farm.
In a good mood, Cheng Ming even hummed a little tune.
Because the brigade leader said that the pigs he raised weighed more than before, he gave his wife two pounds of pork as a reward when distributing the pork this year.
Two pounds of pork, that's two pounds of pork.
Cheng Ming's eyes were glazed over the whole way; everything he saw on the road looked like pork.
The pig, with its four short legs, walked very happily, completely unaware of what it was about to experience, and would occasionally trot happily.
Lu Yuanqing wanted to burst out laughing. They were rushing off to their deaths!
This is practically rushing to your death!
Lu Yuanbo's interest hadn't waned yet. He took a thin stick and walked behind the pig. If he saw it stray off course or slow down, he would hit it twice with the stick.
Lu Yuanqing said that he did not experience any enjoyment at all.
"Are you so afraid of the sun?" Zhao Zhongcai's voice rang out.
Lu Yuanqing turned his head and saw his teasing voice. He shrugged. He was just afraid of getting tanned. He liked to be fair-skinned, even though everyone here looked quite fair-skinned.
He had traveled to Yunnan in his past life, and the locals there were truly dark-skinned, completely tanned from sun exposure.
Compared to them, the people in Sichuan and Chongqing, even if they work in the fields every day, appear much fairer.
Lu Yuanqing reached out and touched the straw hat on his head.
Given that no one in the village is aware of sun protection, he's bound to be the fairest one.
"Uncle Zhao, how's your trip to the commune lately?" More than whether he was afraid of the sun, Lu Yuanqing was more concerned about their side business plan.
Zhao Zhongcai has been going to the commune a lot lately, all for his so-called collective pig-raising plan.
To be honest, he wasn't surprised when Lu Yuanqing mentioned collective pig farming.
Lu Yuanqing is intelligent, and he can accept any ideas that come up with.
However, when Lu Yuanqing said he wanted to raise a hundred pigs at once, Zhao Zhongcai couldn't help but drop his jaw in astonishment!
One hundred?
Is it absolutely impossible for it to be good?
The entire commune couldn't even produce a hundred piglets.
“Go buy them elsewhere! As long as the commune agrees to let us do side businesses, we can go anywhere to buy piglets!” These were Lu Yuanqing’s words.
Lu Yuanqing also had his own unspeakable suffering.
His system space is now mostly filled with piglets. If he doesn't encourage Zhao Zhongcai to raise a large number of pigs, how can he 'steal the dragon and switch the phoenix' to get those piglets out?
As for the origin of these piglets, Lu Yuanqing covered his face.
After Niu Datou was sentenced, he completed his hidden mission.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission of saving Lu Yuanhuan, congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission of saving Lu Mingbei and Lu Mingzhong."
Lu Yuanqing, who was lying on the bed, had no expression.
After all, he had already made an agreement with the system: in exchange for the stun gun, he would return the reward from a hidden mission.
Because he had suffered a huge loss, Lu Yuanqing was even throwing a tantrum at the system! He didn't want to pay any attention to it at all.
Upon hearing that two hidden tasks had been completed simultaneously, Lu Yuanqing suddenly sat up in bed, his face a mixture of disbelief, surprise, and incredible luck!
"Really? To complete two tasks at the same time?" Lu Yuanqing's tone was a little anxious.
In other words, he's going to get another reward this time?
This time we need to get something good.
"That's right, congratulations host for completing two tasks at the same time," System 666 said. "Since the host has already asked for a reward once in advance, there will only be one reward this time."
"So what can I do this time?" Lu Yuanqing asked thoughtfully, resting his chin on his hand.
Before he could figure it out, a lottery wheel suddenly appeared in front of him, with a list of many good things written on it.
However, after carefully examining the rewards, Lu Yuanqing discovered that they were mostly items available in the present era, and most of them were daily necessities and food!
Lu Yuanqing was a little disappointed; it seemed impossible for him to get the Power Pill.
System 666 blushed with embarrassment, "Host, you've already adapted to farm work, why are you still so determined to get the superpower pill?"
Lu Yuanqing rolled his eyes. "Nonsense, just because my body has adapted doesn't mean my mind has adapted."
Just because he can do farm work doesn't mean he won't feel tired!
A staple of farming novels is sheer physical strength! Without strength, where would you get the stamina to do all the work?
The system stated that it was genuinely unaware of such a standard configuration.
"Host, congratulations on completing three hidden missions. According to the rules, after completing three missions, you will receive one free lottery draw every time. If you can't figure out what the reward for this mission is, you can use this opportunity to draw a lottery!"
In any case, the reward for each mission must be something that is in line with the times, and its value cannot exceed five hundred yuan.
