"Commander, really?"
“My son Mingcheng now earns over a hundred yuan a month.”
Lu Fangfang was overjoyed.
She had been busy for more than half a year, designing the greenhouse and working hard to incubate the eggs and feed the quails, all for this moment.
A monthly salary of over one hundred is considered a high income in this day and age.
She and Mingcheng are both employed, so their combined salary is over two thousand yuan a year.
After saving for four or five years, when she returns to the capital, she won't need to touch the hidden gold nugget anymore; she can buy a courtyard house with just her salary.
"Of course it's true, Xiao Lu, don't worry. You just completed a mission for the military region, so the higher-ups will definitely approve the application!"
Gao Dajiang nodded heavily.
Looking at the two people beside him, he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Shufen, Sister-in-law Lanying, your wages also need to be increased. As long as this farm continues to thrive, no one will be left behind."
"I have a share? I... I'll definitely work hard from now on."
"Oh, Commander, it's all we should do."
Wang Shufen and Zhao Lanying were pleasantly surprised.
The two were surprised to receive a raise and both smiled.
"Commander, don't worry, the farm will definitely get better and better. Next year, I'll make sure that the soldiers in the regiment not only have one quail egg a day, but at least one quail egg with every meal!"
Beside her, Wang Shufen and Zhao Lanying nodded in agreement, both of them more confident than Lu Fangfang.
If both breeding farms can be fully stocked with quails, the daily egg production will be at least 300 jin (150 kg), which is 7.5 times the current amount. Achieving this goal will be more than possible.
"Okay, okay! I'll remember that. I'll just wait to have eggs with every meal."
Gao Dajiang laughed heartily and clapped his hands.
Seeing how motivated the people at the farm were, he felt that he hadn't made a mistake in building the farm.
Standing nearby, Director Zhao from the Logistics Department couldn't help but applaud.
Seeing how well the farm was run, he felt a little ashamed.
The pigs raised in the guild eat a lot every day, but they don't gain any weight at all. Compared to the 40 jin of eggs produced daily at the farm, I really don't know what to say.
The two then went to take a look around the breeding shed.
Looking at the quails in the five-layer cages, they couldn't help but recall Liu Erkui's words: this breeding shed really is like an egg-laying factory, so efficient.
However, unlike Liu Erkui, they were not resistant; on the contrary, they were very happy.
After Gao Dajiang led the group away, Lu Fangfang and the other two were still overjoyed.
After all, a pay rise is something to be very happy about.
Zhao Lanying wasn't in a hurry to go back; she felt like she had inexhaustible energy.
After discussing it with Wang Shufen, the two decided to do a thorough cleaning.
There's only one month left until the Lunar New Year, so it's a good time to clean up the shed before the New Year and take all the stored manure to the fields.
"Girl, your belly is getting bigger and bigger, you can't work anymore, go to the outer room."
"Yes, Xiao Lu, you should go and rest. We'll take care of things here."
Seeing how enthusiastically the two of them were working, Lu Fangfang didn't think of trying to dissuade them.
However, since she doesn't do any work, she can have her own little wild donkey come and haul some things.
As she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she looked towards the grassland to the south and saw that early in the morning, the little wild donkey was wagging its tail and grazing on the grassland.
The grass in winter has already turned yellow and withered.
The little wild donkey kept looking up, seemingly absent-minded, and it was unclear what it was looking at.
Curious, Lu Fangfang slowly walked over.
In the distance, the little wild donkey's two long ears twitched.
Hearing familiar footsteps, it turned around and looked back.
Upon seeing that it was Lu Fangfang, it looked up as if to bark.
"You stubborn little donkey, don't move, whatever you do, don't move."
Lu Fangfang looked up curiously and saw a small bird, like a white ball, flying down onto the back of the little wild donkey.
Northern long-tailed tit, the little flying chicken is here!
"So cute!"
Lu Fangfang's eyes lit up; she really wanted to touch it.
That little bird was round and chubby, just a cute little bird.
In the distance, the little chubby bird tugged at the wild donkey's fur and pecked at it a few times.
It was also very picky, only pecking at the row of black hairs that stood up in the middle of the donkey's back.
The little wild donkey was feeling unwell. It looked up and couldn't help but snort.
"Chirp chirp~"
The little chubby bird pecked at a tuft of donkey hair and immediately took flight.
Lu Fangfang turned her head and saw it fly towards a birch tree in the breeding farm.
At the westernmost end of the tree branch, there is an unfinished little bird's nest.
"Oh, so the farm has new employees again."
Lu Fangfang murmured to herself, quite pleased.
She recognized the bird; in her hometown, it's called a "little fat chick." The elders say that encountering this bird means good things are about to happen.
A little weasel came to the west side of the courtyard wall, and a little fat chick moved to the tree.
She was quite pleased when she thought about it; the meaning was really good.
"Oh...ah..."
On the grassland, the little wild donkey was furious. Those were its furs! How dare some little bird thief steal them!
It roared angrily at the birch tree in the farm.
Lu Fangfang looked at it and couldn't help but laugh again.
She walked over quickly, smiling as she patted the donkey's head. "Alright, alright, you have a lot of hair on your back anyway, it pecking at it is like grooming you."
"Oh...ah..."
The little wild donkey didn't like hearing this, and it nuzzled against Lu Fangfang's arm, looking aggrieved.
"Haha, look at you, you donkey! I'm telling you, you better not eat my little fat bird."
Lu Fangfang couldn't stop laughing.
However, after learning that the little wild donkey had maimed and killed jackals, she dared not underestimate this fellow.
"Oh...ah..."
The little wild donkey looked up at the tree and couldn't help but snort.
"Alright, what a cute little chubby bird, don't mess with me."
Lu Fangfang took out a small handful of melon seeds, stuffed them into the donkey's mouth, and then pulled the donkey by the ears, walking towards the family compound.
When they arrived at their destination, she hitched up the donkey cart.
As she walked into the breeding shed, she spoke to Sister Shufen and Sister-in-law Lanying again.
"No need, no need, Xiao Lu, quail droppings are too smelly. I'll just use a wheelbarrow to push them to the field. You can't use a donkey cart, since people will be riding on it. Don't make it dirty."
Zhao Lanying, wearing a cotton mask, turned around and waved.
The donkey cart is perfectly fine; it's used to deliver eggs to the troupe. Forget about the quail droppings; those little guys' droppings are really stinky.
"It's alright, we can just put something down. The land that the group cleared is quite far away."
"Xiao Lu, I don't have anything else, I'm just strong. It's okay, I'll push it."
Seeing this, Lu Fangfang had no choice but to return to the storage room.
Since Sister-in-law Lanying didn't need the little wild donkey, she planned to untie it and let it graze on the pasture outside.
