When Fu Hongxing returned home, he saw his younger brother, sister-in-law, and Ning Jing busy carrying soil into the house where the fire wall had been built.

Without asking any questions, he stepped forward, took the carrying pole from Ning Jing's hand, and continued carrying it.

"Um...did you talk to the village chief about the previous suggestion?"

Ning Jing, remembering Fu Hongxing's promise to talk to the village chief about making chicken and duck farming a sideline for the village, couldn't help but ask.

Fu Hongxing nodded: "I've been busy with other things lately, so I haven't been able to find the time."

"Perfect timing! I'll mention your earthworm-raising plan to the village chief today, that way we can avoid the chickens and ducks going hungry."

Ning Jing thought for a moment and said, "How about I go with you?"

Fu Hongxing glanced at her, and although he was somewhat unwilling, he still nodded in agreement.

After dinner, the two of them went out one after the other.

When we arrived at the village chief's house, they had just finished clearing away the dinner table.

"Uncle Tan, Auntie."

Fu Hongxing and Ning Jing shouted together.

Tan Dingguo found it strange that Fu Hongxing had brought Ning Jing with her to his house.

He glanced at Ning Jing and then gestured for Fu Hongxing to sit down.

Originally, it was thought that Ning Jing would go out with her wife, but unexpectedly, Ning Jing leaned against Fu Hongxing and sat down as well.

Seeing this, Tan Dingguo pulled out the pipe from his back and then scooped out a handful of tobacco from the bag hanging on the back and stuffed it into the pipe.

While slowly stuffing it in, he asked, "You two, husband and wife, came to our door together, what's going on...?"

"Uncle Tan, it's like this."

With nothing to do at home, Ning Jing was thinking that if she could raise some chickens, ducks, and geese, it could help supplement the family income.

I originally thought that I would just keep a few at home to lay eggs, and that would be enough.

However, I think that what she came up with this time could definitely be used to raise hundreds of animals.

However, this makes it difficult for her to support herself.

So I was thinking, how about we create another side business for the people in the village?

When the time comes, whether people want to eat chicken or duck eggs, or chicken or duck meat, they can exchange them for work points.

After listening to Fu Hongxing's long explanation, Tan Dingguo thought for a moment and then concluded, "So you mean you want the village to start a side business of raising chickens and ducks?"

Fu Hongxing nodded and said, "Uncle Tan, that's what you mean, that's right."

"Red Star, I'm not trying to discourage you."

In the countryside, most families, if they have the means, will raise a few chickens and ducks.

I just wanted to use chicken and duck eggs to trade for some needles and thread.

The county officials mostly turned a blind eye to this and didn't say much about it.

Even the disciplinary team couldn't find any reason to cause us trouble.

But what you're saying doesn't even address whether the county will approve our village starting this sideline business.

Just think about this side hustle: raising so many chickens and ducks, what if you can't sell them?

Even if you sell it, what if you lose money?

You need to understand that if you want to run a side business, the village will have to pay for the construction of a breeding farm, and you'll also need to buy chicks and ducks, all of which require capital.

Besides, raising these hairy animals requires food, and your wife can actually turn it into food.

Without food, they could only rely on scavenging insects on the ground, and it was questionable whether they could even raise them to lay eggs.

If I lose money, I won't be able to explain it to the villagers!

Tan Dingguo shook his head, feeling that young people these days were exaggerating too much.
