Eating melons

Chapter 334 Refusing to Change Post

He had heard from people in the team that Xiao Xuemu was a good pig farmer, but he didn't believe it.

I don’t think an educated youth from the city can be that good, but looking at the goods this piglet picked, you can tell that they are indeed quite good.

Without certain abilities, it is impossible to pick people to this level. Picking one or two can be considered luck, but picking fifty of them to this level requires real strength.

Xiao Xuemu quickly said, "No, no, uncle, you are too kind. I don't have the ability. It's just that their goods are good, all of them are good. It has nothing to do with me."

Xiao Xuemu was telling the truth. All the piglets in his space were like this. They were all good stuff, and there was really no bad one.

But he was a little picky, picking those that were all about the same size, just a little bit bigger, so that they would be easier to raise.

But no one believed Xiao Xuemu's truth, because if he hadn't chosen them well, how could they all be like this? Not only were they about the same size, but they were all so lively and energetic.

And even if other people's goods are good and everyone is like this, it's because of Xiao Xuemu. If other people were to pick them, there wouldn't be so many good goods for them to choose from.

As for how Xiao Xuemu could get so many piglets, did they find it strange?

There is nothing that cannot be bought on the black market, because as long as you have money, anything can be sold secretly.

Not to mention selling piglets, these must be sows secretly raised in some village.

They just don't know whether it is raised by an individual or by a collective like their village, but they guess it is probably the former.

It was really strange to see a group of grown men surrounding the pig and staring at it.

This is the first time we have bought so many piglets. Aren’t you all surprised? This is the hope of the Red Star Brigade this year.

Seeing everyone doing this, Zhang Xinwang said directly, "Okay, stop crowding around and drive the piglets into the pigpen first.

It's been a bumpy ride all day. Let them slow down and move out of the way. Let Xiao Xuemu drive the car over."

After hearing this, the group of old men stopped standing around the tractor and asked Xiao Xuemu to drive the car to the pig farm quickly.

Hearing this, Xiao Xuemu didn't say anything and just went to drive.

To be honest, he didn't understand what was so interesting about surrounding a cart full of pigs.

Not to mention that it had been on the tractor for so long and it was covered in pig shit.

The tractor was not like his space that could decompose those things by itself. They were all piled on the vehicle and trampled into a mess by the piglets. They were everywhere, smelling terrible and stinking.

Xiao Xuemu drove the tractor to the pigpen and left them there, preparing to go back.

Even if all the piglets on the tractor are unloaded, the vehicle cannot be driven back immediately. It must be cleaned here first.

The Red Star Brigade has a tractor driver. When the time comes, let the tractor driver drive the vehicle back to where the tractors are parked.

Not to mention that these piglets have to be checked and weighed one by one, and it is not known how long it will take to unload them all.

Therefore, Xiao Xuemu didn't intend to care about it and said to Zhang Xinwang.

"Captain, there's nothing I can do to help here, so I'll be going back first."

Zhang Xinwang thought that Xiao Xuemu had been busy outside all day and should be tired.

Besides, he had to check on the piglets one by one and had no time to deal with Xiao Xuemu, so he just nodded at him.

"Okay, then Xiao Xuemu, go back and have some rest. Come to your uncle's house for dinner tonight. Don't refuse. Your uncle Zhou will be there too."

Xiao Xuemu nodded, "Okay, then, Captain, I'll be leaving first."

Zhang Xinwang waved his hand and ignored him.

Xiao Xuemu did not refuse Zhang Xinwang's request to go to his house for dinner in the evening.

After all, this meal is not just a meal. I have to reconcile accounts with Zhang Xinwang and Zhou Youfu in the evening.

When Xiao Xuemu got home, no one had returned yet. They were all at work and had not yet finished work.

The first thing he did when he got home was to boil water and take a shower. He felt that the smell was all over his body and he couldn't stand it.

Although there are pigs raised in the space, and so many pigs, there is really no peculiar smell in the space, and he does not need to have close contact with them.

Pigs are raised on one side and vegetables are grown on the other. He usually works in the space to grow vegetables and crops, which is separated from the breeding area by a river.

And every time he fed the pigs, he would just cut large bundles of vegetables and throw them there without caring about them. They only ate raw food.

Sometimes when it was fruits and vegetables, he was too lazy to go over and just threw them in a parabola over to the river.

Large wild animals caught in the mountains are almost never kept in pens. They are all raised outside and allowed to roam freely.

But for animals like chickens, ducks, and geese, there is usually a shed. If they want to come back, they can come back. If they don’t want to come back, then forget it.

He also built sheds for wild boars and sheep, but he didn't build sheds for large herbivorous prey such as deer, roe deer, and cattle. He was too lazy to take care of them and just let them roam freely.

Anyway, there are a lot of crops and vegetables grown there, so let them eat them as they please, just like in the mountains, and let them fend for themselves.

Occasionally he would throw some on the ground for them to find and eat by themselves.

Therefore, every time I go to work in the space, apart from getting covered in dirt, everything is fresh and clean.

It’s not like today, even in the front cab, you can smell the strong smell of pig manure.

Moreover, he saw clearly that if he stayed any longer and Zhang Xinwang and the others learned more about him, and then transferred him to work at the pig farm, it would be more trouble than it would be worth.

Although he was not that tired, he really couldn't stand the smell.

Besides, he didn't feel very tired working in the fields, so he didn't want to change jobs.

Also, since he went to work at the pig farm, he couldn't work for Wei Wei.

With Wei Wei's picky personality, if she was asked to go to the pig farm to feed the pigs, she would definitely run away as soon as she smelled the smell, and she would run so fast that he might not be able to catch up with her even if he rode a bicycle.

Also, if he went to work at the pig farm, the smell on his body, given Wei Wei's personality, he guaranteed that he would not even be able to enter Wei Wei's house in the future.

So Xiao Xuemu never thought about changing his job. Even if he was asked to change, he would not do so.

After taking a shower, it was already late, so Xiao Xuemu started cooking.

He told Wei Wei and the others before leaving this morning that he would cook when he came back tonight.

As soon as they finished work, they came back immediately, and they came back very quickly.

The old educated youth who were responsible for cooking have just returned, and the new educated youth who don't need to cook have already returned home.

In the words of Wei Wei and Jiang Qi, they are not active at work and have problems with their thinking.

As soon as he came back, Li Zhibin came over to him in a smug manner, "Old Xiao! You really got more than fifty piglets for the team."

Xiao Xuemu rolled his eyes at him, "What else?"

He didn't believe that the news hadn't spread throughout the entire Red Star Brigade. Maybe the pig farm was already surrounded by people watching the fun.

And that was indeed the case, the pig farm was crowded with people.

Everyone wants to see how this batch of piglets fares. After all, it's their hard-earned money, and they can't waste it like this.

To be honest, the people in the Red Star Brigade still found it very unreliable for an educated youth to buy piglets.

But now seeing the appearance of these piglets, I feel relieved. At least I didn't waste their money.

As for whether they would report the illegal origin of these piglets, that is impossible.

Even if the piglets come from illegal sources, they are still earning money for them, and the money will eventually go into their hands.

It can be said that if anyone dares to leak even the slightest bit of information, Xiao Xuemu won't have to say anything, the people of the Red Star Brigade will deal with the traitor first.

When it comes to this kind of thing, the people of the Red Star Brigade are very united.

Moreover, Zhang Xinwang had already warned them that anyone who dared to leak any information would be dealt with according to the village and clan rules.

For the people of the Red Star Brigade, even if Zhang Xinwang did not deal with the person according to the village and clan rules, the people of the Red Star Brigade would beat the traitor to death first.

Yu Xi, Li Zhibin, Liu Jiaojiao and Wu Mei on this side were a little surprised when they heard these words. They didn't expect that Xiao Xuemu's network of contacts was so wide that he could get all these things.

But Wei Wei and Jiang Qi knew very well that Xiao Xuemu probably didn't even go to the black market today. He might have just taken a stroll outside and then released a batch of piglets from the space.

It is even possible that this person does not want to feed so many pigs, so he uses this method to sell a batch of piglets.

All I can say is that the truth has been revealed again for Wei Wei and Jiang Qi this time.

After the meal was cooked, Xiao Xuemu said to the others, "The meal is ready, just bring it over and eat. I'm going to the captain's house for dinner tonight."

The people who heard this did not stop him, but waved their heads and hands. Xiao Xuemu took a notebook and a pen and walked towards Zhang Xinwang's house.

This notebook contains the weight of the piglets he weighed when he caught them before. He wants to check the number with Zhang Xinwang.

The records above will definitely not deceive Zhang Xinwang, because he had selected the piglets two days ago.

Two days outside is equivalent to four days in the space. I have grown four days. I should not have lost weight in these four days, maybe I have even gained some weight.

After all, when he was learning to catch piglets with the aunts at the pig farm, he heard the aunts nagging every day that the piglets would grow ten kilograms early or ten kilograms late.

When Xiao Xuemu arrived at Zhang's house, the meal was almost ready.

Maybe because they had something to discuss, the Zhang family came back from work early to cook, and Zhou Youfu and Zhang Xinwang also came over.

After dinner, Xiao Xuemu followed Zhou Youfu and Zhang Xinwang into the house. Without beating around the bush, Xiao Xuemu handed the notebook in his hand to Zhang Xinwang and said,

"Captain, please check the numbers. This is the weight and price of the piglets."

Zhang Xinwang was checking the piglets this afternoon in order to weigh each pig and get a number. Once he checked, he would know that Xiao Xuemu had not cheated him.

The pig hadn't eaten anything for a day and was already weighed in an empty stomach.

Even so, some of the weights recorded by Xiao Xuemu are lighter than those recorded here.

Zhang Xinwang and Zhou Youfu suddenly felt that Xiao Xuemu was a very down-to-earth person.

To be honest, judging from Xiao Xuemu's usual performance in the team, both Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin give people a cunning feeling, and are not as honest as Yu Xi.

But now it seems that Xiao Xuemu is only lazy at work. He is still a very honest person.

Zhou Youfu nodded. "Okay, that's right. Based on this amount, Xiao Zhiqing also put in an additional fifty yuan."

After saying that, he took out five big unity cards from the bag and gave them to Xiao Xuemu.

In fact, according to their calculation, if they added a little bit more, it would be sixty yuan. They were afraid that Xiao Xuemu's number would be much higher, so they took ten cents more and brought over seventy yuan in total.

But unexpectedly, the amount Xiao Xuemu had was even less than theirs, only fifty yuan.

Xiao Xuemu didn't hesitate and put the money directly into his pocket.

Zhou Fu took a drag from his old man's cigarette and suggested to Xiao Xuemu, "Xiao Zhiqing! You seem to be doing quite well raising pigs. With your skills, are you interested in working at the pig farm? Don't worry, it's easier there than working in the fields, but the work points are definitely not low."

The pig farm bought so many pigs, more than 30 more than last year, so naturally they need to add some manpower. Xiao Xuemu has this skill, so he definitely can't waste it.

Hearing this, Zhang Xinwang also looked at Xiao Xuemu. To be honest, he had the same idea, but he didn't know whether Xiao Xuemu was willing to go.

They should be happy about it! After all, that's a position that many people can't even get. Those old educated youth couldn't even get in even though they wanted to.

Hearing this, Xiao Xuemu thought to himself that it was indeed the case and quickly refused.

"Uncle Zhou, thank you for the compliments. This time, I was really lucky. My friends helped me pick them. I really don't understand these things. I'd better not go and flaunt those pigs. They are too precious. I can't afford to flaunt them."

Zhang Xinwang and Zhou Youfu naturally did not believe this reason, but when they saw Xiao Xuemu's clothes, they knew that he had gone back to take a shower and change clothes.

They immediately knew why he refused. He must have disliked the smell of the pig farm. Seeing him like this, the two of them, and knowing that this man's family was not short of money or things, and that he didn't care about those few work points, did not try to persuade him.

Zhang Xinwang no longer mentioned the matter of asking him to work on the pig farm, but mentioned another matter.

"Xiao Zhiqing, I wonder if your friend's approach is sustainable. Will it still be available next year?"

If they were to sell the pigs again next year and this batch of pigs were fed up again, Zhang Xinwang felt that he could be bolder next year, take less money this year, and directly buy 100 pigs next year.

Xiao Xuemu nodded and said, "It should be possible. There are still quite a few this year. If you still want to buy some, you can go and buy them."

Hearing this, Zhang Xinwang and Zhou Youfu were very excited. The quality of these piglets was indeed good, and they really wanted to buy them, but they didn't have enough money.

No matter how tempted they were, they had to suppress their feelings. Food was still their main concern. If they bought more, they would have no money left to buy fertilizer.

Zhang Xinwang sighed, "Our brigade doesn't have that much money, so let's just forget it. Let's feed these pigs first. We can sell them and buy more next year."

Hearing this, Xiao Xuemu didn't say anything and nodded, "Okay, then I'll talk to my friend and ask him to save some for me next year."
