Si Cheng led the villagers to repair the trenches that had been destroyed by the wild boars. They first drove the wild boars to the other side, and then Si Cheng found several large wooden sticks and placed them across the middle to make it easier for them to work underneath.

"Luckily we dug this trench deep enough, otherwise they would have all escaped." The monkey pulled up the basket that Si Cheng had tied up, and together with the big bear next to him, they pulled the basket full of soil up.

“But we’ve only been gone for a little over two months, and look how big these wild boars have grown. I think some of them are already in heat, so it won’t be long before we have new members.” Wu Yong, who was cleaning up the wild boar’s excrement, didn’t feel disgusted at all now. If someone had told him two years ago that he would be dealing with this kind of excrement in the future, he would have scoffed.

But ever since the village started using excrement to nourish the crops, Wu Yong and his colleagues have gone from being apprehensive at the beginning to accepting it calmly now, which they find incredible.

"That's a good thing, it means our village has a new fortune. But I see the old folks in the village often go around looking for snakes and throwing them in, and they also throw in some old wild vegetables. No wonder these pigs are getting fatter and fatter." Because his home is relatively close to this area, Da Xiong often sees several old folks from the village wandering around here.

“My grandma is like that. She even said that we should give the wild boars vitamin supplements so they won’t get sick.” Yun Qiao never expected that her usually meticulous grandma would care so much about these wild boars.

"Don't you see how much salt we got in return for the wild boar meat we brought over this time? And Second Grandpa and the others said that when it's time to harvest potatoes and sweet potatoes, they'll bring out two more wild boars to slaughter, and then the village will have a good feast."

"I think our village's decision to have a family gathering is the most brilliant thing ever. This way, no matter what we do, our village will be more motivated." Everyone couldn't help but wipe the drool from their mouths when the topic of the gathering came up.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that food cooked in a large pot tastes better than what I cook at home. It's the same food, but the feeling is just different." Zhao Dongwei genuinely felt that food cooked in a large pot tasted better than what he cooked at home.

“It’s fine if other people say this, but it feels a bit awkward when you say it. Don’t forget that it’s your mother who’s in charge of cooking for you in the big pot. Do you think the special meals she prepares for you at home are any less delicious than the big pot meals?”

"Seriously, do you think my mom makes me a lot of delicious food every day?"

"Isn't that right? You have no idea how much we envied you when we were little." Yun Tao covered the area they had cleared with another layer of soil.

"Oh, come on! In our family, my dad usually does the cooking. As my mom says, after a long day of working outside, he can't come home and have to keep cooking. So she usually only talks, never does the work. With my dad's cooking skills, you can imagine how good it is." Zhao Dongwei's face was covered in tears as he mentioned this. He didn't know how his mother could eat food with too much salt or sugar. Didn't she think it was better to cook it herself?

"I sympathize with you for a second, but it would be better if you didn't discuss this issue while dealing with manure." Yun Xun spread the wild grass he had brought on the cleaned ground. Since these wild boars were being kept here, it was essential to create a good living environment for them.

"What's wrong with that? Look around, who doesn't just finish applying farmyard manure in the fields and then calmly take a lunchbox and eat a meal right there?" Now, Wu Yong and the other new villagers are even more adapted to this lifestyle than the original inhabitants of Pinghe Village.

“That’s right, Brother Xun, I don’t believe you’ve never eaten in the fields.” Since Yun Qiao went out with the group, despite her grandmother’s objections, she has now insisted on joining the village’s village protection team and spending her spare time with everyone to do the village’s work.

"It seems that after this period of labor reform, our Xiao Qiao's awareness has increased rapidly. She even dares to tease Brother Xun."

"I've told you so many times to call me Yun Qiao. Besides, I'm telling the truth, I'm not teasing Xun Ge at all." Yun Qiao usually can't stand being called Xiao Qiao.

"Where there are young people like you, it's bound to be lively." Grandpa and the other old folks brought some wild vegetable heads over, and from afar, they could hear the constant chattering coming from the ditch.

"Fourth sister-in-law, look at your Xiao Qiao! She's made so much progress since she went on that trip with everyone. Now she's not only a great worker, but she's also become much more cheerful. You can just wait to enjoy life from now on." Third Grandfather praised Fourth Aunt-in-law profusely, and Fourth Aunt-in-law's eyes narrowed with laughter.

"Our Xiao Qiao isn't as good as you all say. He still needs to learn more from everyone in the future," Fourth Aunt said modestly, a rare occurrence for her.

The young men next to Yunqiao winked and winked at him, silently calling him "Xiao Qiao," before bursting into laughter.

Yun Qiao watched as the elders came and went, then simply lowered her head and continued working, refusing to hear their calls any longer.

"Look how hard our little Qiao is working. You brats should all learn from him, always grinning like that." As soon as Grandpa Lu finished speaking, exaggerated laughter came from all around.

"These kids, have they taken the wrong medicine?" The old men were dumbfounded by their laughter, as if they hadn't said anything funny.

"Grandpa, don't mind them, they've taken the wrong laughing drug." After Yun Xun finished spreading the weeds at the bottom of the pit, he climbed up the rope ladder.

"Why are you going to find wild vegetables again? I told you we'd take them back with us when we go back." Yun Xun noticed the pile of wild vegetable heads at their feet as soon as he arrived. It turned out the most disobedient ones were all here.

"I just casually strolled around the village and brought these back," the second grandfather and his family said dismissively. They were a group of old people who weren't incapacitated yet. They could easily gather these things by taking a walk around the village every day. Why should the young people have to go out and find wild vegetables after finishing their farm work?

Because they have been searching for wild vegetables non-stop during this period, their house now has a large sack full of these washed and dried wild vegetables. As the old saying goes, "With surplus food, one is not afraid." Even though there are abundant water resources in our area, we still need to plan ahead.

"Ah Cheng, from now on, leave these tasks to these rascals. Don't let them slack off after you've finished everything for them." Second Grandfather couldn't help but shout as he saw Si Cheng still working tirelessly in the pit.

Since Si Cheng took everyone on several trips, his prestige in the village has even surpassed that of the village chief, which is what the village elders are most pleased to see.
