The chicken farm and pig farm are actually quite far from the military hospital; they are both located in the suburbs.

However, the advantage is that dormitories have been specially built for the chicken farm and pig farm.

Chen Ruixue, along with her grandfather, eldest brother, and second brother, arrived at the dormitory of the chicken farm.

I almost cried when I saw the dormitory. At least this dormitory is a brick building that people can live in.

Compared to the cold and damp dugouts, this place is like paradise.

The house was kept simply and neatly.

Chen Ruixue and another female colleague were in charge of the chicken farm, cooking in the canteen, and also managing the chicken farm's operations.

The remaining eight men are the main workforce of the chicken farm.

One role is that of the driver, who is responsible for transporting the eggs and finished chickens from the chicken farm to other locations.

The other seven are responsible for the daily hygiene, feeding, and various tasks at the chicken farm.

The manager of the chicken farm is a man.

He was also the only one who wasn't demoted.

After all, it's impossible for so many people who have been transferred to lower levels to be left unattended.

Wu Dazhi gathered everyone together, feeling deeply aggrieved.

Why should I come here to manage a chicken farm?

But since Dr. Ouyang asked him to come, he had no choice but to.

They are family members of the medical team; to be precise, their wives are nurses in the medical team.

He benefited from the situation and came here with the army. While other soldiers were accompanied by women, he, a grown man, did.

As a result, he couldn't find a job and had no food to eat.

After contacting the leaders of the medical team several times, they finally said that the military hospital was about to be completed, and since he didn't understand medicine, it was impossible for him to be assigned to the hospital. So they asked him if he wanted to go to the affiliated farm.

Upon hearing this, Wu Dazhi said he would do anything, as long as he could have something to eat.

Otherwise, the meager food rations provided by his wife wouldn't be enough to feed them. The family of three children and he are now entirely supported by his wife alone.

It's embarrassing to tell anyone.

At least he knew how to raise chickens, so Dr. Ouyang transferred him here.

Although Wu Dazhi and his wife have separated, at least he is now receiving government-supplied food and a monthly salary.

He wasn't very educated, and to be precise, he had no concept of what it meant to be sent down to the countryside or not.

I know these are all unmotivated individuals, so we need to manage them well. First, we can't let them run away, and second, we can't let them slack off.

We should make them work properly.

Wu Dazhi is a typical villager. He knows how to raise chickens, but he really doesn't know how to manage people.

Suddenly becoming a factory manager made me feel incredibly proud.

“I don’t understand anything else, but you are people who have been sent down to the countryside, and you know your own status.”

There's no other way out but to work hard. I'm just a country bumpkin who can't read a few words.

I know that as long as you work hard, you'll have food to eat. Under my command, my only requirement is that you do your job well and solve the logistical supply problems for the military hospital.

I won't ask anything more of you.

I just want you to be happy, I to be happy, and everyone to be happy. Let's raise the chickens well, and please don't cause me any trouble.

Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite. I'm a rough man, and I don't tolerate violence.

Wu Dazhi needed to scare these people to prevent any of them from having any bad intentions, or they might try to escape, which would be troublesome.

Everyone immediately promised to work hard.

"Alright, you can decide which dorm room to assign yourselves. I won't force you."

Anyway, it's just the 11 of us.

There are two female staff members in charge of the canteen here, making a total of 11 people.

Everyone's food rations were shared together.

Our chicken farm supplies chickens in bulk, so they deliver them to us according to the monthly quota.

Now everyone get ready. The higher-ups have instructed that the chicks will be delivered tomorrow, and then we'll have work to do.

Let's get acquainted today.

Everyone was relieved, and Chen Ruixue finally felt at ease. She realized that the factory director was an honest man, and not the kind of person who was single-mindedly focused on making outstanding contributions.

These kinds of people are easy to get along with. They're not afraid of hard work, but what they hate most is people who find fault with their work.

Everyone was finally settled in.

Grandpa Chen lives in one room with his two grandsons, mainly to avoid any inconvenience if he shares a room with other people.

All four members of the Chen family knew that if it weren't for Ouyang Zhenyu, they would probably still be living in their rural dugouts.

In any case, the current conditions are much better than those in the dugouts; by a significant margin.

On the first day, everyone brought their own rations. The rations allocated by the team hadn't arrived yet, so they just ate a bite at night.

The next morning, the truck that was delivering the chicks arrived early. Wu Dazhi watched the truck drive into the yard and hurriedly went to greet it, only to see Dean Ouyang jump out of the driver's seat.

Dean Ouyang is the director of their military region hospital; this is a done deal.

Although no official document has been issued yet, everyone knows what's going on.

Wu Dazhi was startled.

"Dean Ouyang, why did you come personally to deliver the chicks?"

Everyone knows that Dean Ouyang's hands are the hands that perform surgery and the hands that save lives.

"I'll take this opportunity to inspect the situation at our farms. If you have any difficulties, just let me know, and I'll submit a report later."

"Have someone move this chick inside."

Wu Dazhi hurriedly called people over.

"By the way, Wu Dazhi, I've compiled a report outlining the scientific chicken-raising process for you."

"Come with me, I need to tell you something."

Wu Dazhi felt a headache coming on when he heard this. He couldn't read a single word, so the report was completely useless to him.

Turning his head, he saw Chen Ruixue standing to the side and hurriedly greeted her.

"Comrade Xiao Chen, I remember you should be a cultured person."

Come with me.

Chen Ruixue followed.

Looking at Ouyang Zhenyu's serious expression, I secretly chuckled to myself, and had to admit it.

On my second day here, Ouyang Zhenyu showed up, which always makes me feel very warm.

If it weren't for Ouyang Zhenyu's efforts, the Chen family would never have been able to come to the county. They would have been under close surveillance in the Hongqi Brigade, and who knows what might have happened to them.

Just by looking at Wu Dazhi, you can tell that he was specially picked out by Ouyang Zhenyu. This honest and straightforward guy isn't one to play tricks.

After hearing just a couple of sentences, Wu Dazhi felt his head buzzing and quickly made up an excuse.

"Dean, just tell Comrade Chen to talk to me. I'll go out and make arrangements for the chicks first, otherwise the plan will be useless."

"Alright, you should go now."

Watching Wu Dazhi leave, Ouyang Zhenyu smiled and hurriedly opened the bag he had brought with him.

"I brought you some things. You gave the old man some medicine for his leg, and some other things as well."

Chen Ruixue looked around. Fortunately, everyone was busy moving the chicks, and their office was a bit far from that location.
