Lin Jingyu couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Li, isn't the pork slaughtered at the county meat processing plant supplied to various departments?"

"It is indeed to provide pork for various departments."

Li Anning smiled and explained, "But think about it, how many people are in each department of our county, and how much pork do we need to supply them?"

The pork from our county's meat processing plant alone isn't enough to go around, so everyone has to take turns getting their share, which at least ensures we get to eat some meat.

"It's a pity we can't raise pigs privately."

Peng Shiyu looked at Minister Li and asked, "Uncle Li, are all the pigs raised in each village purchased by the meat processing plant?"

"good."

Li Anning nodded. "The pork in the meat processing plant comes from pigs raised in various villages. So, the pigs in your village can be slaughtered?"

“What I mean is, since the number of pigs raised in the village is not enough to feed everyone, why not let each village raise more pigs?”

While eating, Peng Shiyu said, "As long as everyone raises more pigs, we can definitely provide enough food for everyone in each department. We can't let you all go hungry."

"Large-scale pig farming is unlikely."

Li Anning shook his head slightly, "Food is scarce now, and it's not easy for everyone to fill their stomachs, so where would we get so much food to feed pigs?"

"That's true."

Lin Jingyu nodded, "Unless every family has surplus grain, then everyone will be willing to raise poultry. Nowadays, it is already a bit difficult for the village to raise ten pigs. If the number is increased further, the village brigade may not be able to handle it."

"These things are not your responsibility, and you shouldn't worry about them."

Li Anning changed the subject, "Besides, no matter what, we are still living a better life than ordinary people."

Okay, let's all eat quickly, the food's getting cold.

After eating.

Li Anning received an assignment to handle official business.

He sent Zhao Changping to drive Lin Jingyu and the others back.

The jeep reappeared in the village.

This has attracted a lot of attention.

Especially the newly arrived educated youth, they all thought some important person had come.

To their surprise, Lin Jingyu and the others got out of the car, leaving them dumbfounded.

Those who had initially harbored some ulterior motives immediately abandoned their original plans at this moment.

Lin Jingyu was unaware that the Jeep's appearance would eliminate some of their troubles.

"Brother Zhao, don't go yet."

Lin Jingyu instructed, "Wait for me a moment, I'll go get something and come right back."

"Jingyu, go get it quickly, I'm sitting in the car and I'm not leaving."

Peng Shiyu said with a smile, "I didn't get out of the car, so Brother Zhao definitely can't just turn around and leave."

"What else do you want?"

Zhao Changping looked helpless. "I need to rush back to pick up the minister."

"A few more minutes won't make a difference."

Peng Shiyu remained seated, unmoved. "Brother Zhao, don't even think about kicking me off the bus."

"Oh well."

Zhao Changping had no choice but to wait for Lin Jingyu to reappear.

About ten minutes.

Lin Jingyu appeared carrying large and small bags.

He shoved the bag into the back seat. "Brother Zhao, the big bag is for Uncle Li. Please take it back to him for me. This smaller one is for you."

These are all dried vegetables we grew ourselves; it's a small token of our appreciation. We can't refuse to accept them, otherwise you're looking down on us.

"Miss Lin, what's wrong with you...?"

Zhao Changping didn't know what to say.

Peng Shiyu glared at him with her big eyes, "Brother Zhao, if you dare not accept it, next time I see Uncle Li, I'll tell him you bullied us."

Zhao Changping: ...

That's a really powerful threat.

Not daring to provoke this old lady, they had no choice but to obediently take the package and go back.

Back at their own homes, they finally relaxed.

"It seems that we'd better not go to the county town for the time being."

Yang Shujue patted her chest with lingering fear, "If something like today happened again, I'd be scared to death."

"Yeah yeah!"

Peng Shiyu's expression changed slightly, and she nodded in agreement, "It's too dangerous in the county town now, it's better not to go. Let's all stay home for the winter."

"I won't go unless there's something wrong."

Lin Jingyu gave her a reassuring look, "I've bought quite a lot of things today. If you have time, wear a few more outfits. Sister-in-law Lu really likes the clothes you made."

She also told me, "Make as many sets as you have time. No matter how many clothes you make, I'll help you sell them."

"real?"

Upon hearing this news, Peng Shiyu finally cheered up. "Then I'll make more. Zhang Yunxi also told me to make more winter clothes when she came last time."

There are still more than a dozen kinds of fabric, enough for me to make clothes for a while.

As they were talking, Mu Qiuyue ran over.

I would come to the backyard to find them whenever I wasn't in class.

Today is no exception.

"You're finally back."

Mu Qiuyue found a bamboo chair and sat down. "It's more comfortable staying here with you guys."

"What's wrong?"

Yang Shujue asked curiously, "Did someone upset you again? Didn't you do anything to deal with them?"

"I can't be bothered to argue with them."

Mu Qiuyue had calmed down considerably. "If I continue to argue with them, I'll only drive myself crazy."

Besides, Zhenhua and I agreed to ask the village chief for a plot of land so we could build our own house.

"real?"

Peng Shiyu looked surprised. "You're really planning to build a house?"

"yes."

Mu Qiuyue said calmly, "I've already discussed it with Zhenhua. Once the house is built, we'll get the marriage certificate, move in, and then have our wedding banquet."
