"Maybe I'm too good-looking, and Captain Sui can't control himself." Bai Ying didn't want to tell the story of the entanglement between Chen Ao and Sui Bo, so she just said it casually.
As for whether Xia Lele believed it or not, that was not her concern.
There's nothing I can do, Bai Ying is just so willful.
"Well!"
Seeing Bai Ying praising him calmly, Xia Lele couldn't help but twitch his lips. He quickly threw away the stick in his hand, raised his hands in surrender and said, "I'm not old enough to like girls yet, you can rest assured!"
Bai Ying laughed out loud immediately, "Well, I don't like men who are shorter than me either, so you can rest assured."
Xia Lele: “…”
I felt like I had suffered 10,000 critical hits. He wasn't even that old yet, so what was wrong with being a little shorter?
Seeing Xia Lele being beaten down like a rooster, Bai Ying coughed lightly and changed the subject, "Um, are you familiar with Shen Ao?"
Xia Lele answered honestly, "Although we're not very familiar with each other, we're both from the animal husbandry team. He's in charge of the piggery, and I'm in charge of the chicken coop."
"Ha, I see."
Bai Ying was now truly certain that Chen Ao was in charge of the pigsty, and she almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
No wonder Chen Ao takes a shower so frequently, probably because he’s afraid of stinking her.
It's a pity that she didn't read the pig farming secrets such as "Postpartum Care for Sows" before her rebirth, otherwise she could help Shen Ao improve his performance, and maybe if she performed well, she could leave the farm earlier.
"Doctor Bai, since you're okay, I'll be leaving now," Xia Lele said, not knowing what he had just recalled. He looked very pitiful with a gloomy face. "I have to go back to take care of the chicken coop."
"What's wrong?" Bai Ying noticed this and thought that Xia Lele was her savior after all, so she asked patiently, "Are you in trouble? If you trust me, you can tell me. Maybe I can help you."
Xia Lele was a simple-minded person. When Bai Ying asked him this, he answered directly, "It's our livestock team's captain who insists on meeting production targets. He has set goals for the team's transferred personnel. If we can't complete them by the deadline, our work points will be deducted!"
"Is there such a thing?"
Bai Ying rubbed her chin.
Shen Ao is also from the animal husbandry team and should have production targets. I'll ask him when I get back to see if I can help.
Now, let’s deal with the matter of this little benefactor first.
"What are the production targets for the chicken coop you are responsible for?"
"Tell me to increase the production of my chicken coop and hatch a hundred pullets within a month," Xia Lele said with a sinister look on his face. "There aren't many broody hens in the coop to begin with, and now that it's cold, the hatching rate is low. Plus, we don't know whether the chicks are male or female until they hatch. We need to hatch at least two or three hundred chicks to ensure we have a hundred pullets... Aren't you just bullying a kid like me?"
Bai Ying also felt troubled after hearing this. It takes at least 21 days for an egg to hatch into a chick, but Xia Lele's time limit is to complete the hatching within one month. It is really difficult to achieve and does not give people any chance to make mistakes.
"Can I buy a batch?"
Although individuals are not allowed to do business now and anyone dealing in materials will be labeled as speculators, there is still some room for maneuver. Country people can also sell some of the grains, vegetables and eggs they grow themselves, usually in the market or the black market in the city, and the officials will not investigate unless the people report it.
The current price of goods is six or seven cents each, an old hen costs one dollar and thirty cents per pound, and a chick is more expensive at thirty cents each. You have to be careful when choosing, otherwise if you buy a rooster you're screwed. After all, these days most people buy hens for eggs or to exchange for money.
There is a certain limit on the number of chickens that can be raised by individuals. Each family is allowed to raise one chicken with two people. Any chickens exceeding the limit must be disposed of. Therefore, many families have to take the hatched chicks to the market to sell. It is not difficult to collect 100 hens in a month.
The prerequisite is... you have to prepare the money.
Sure enough, Xia Lele was also worried about this. "Buying a hundred hens would cost at least thirty or forty yuan. The farm wouldn't approve me for that much. I'm counting on myself to hatch them without spending any money!"
Xia Lele kept pulling at her messy hair which had not been taken care of for a long time, and her hair was almost falling out.
"My condolences."
Bai Ying patted Xia Lele's shoulder to comfort her. "I'll go back and help you think about whether there is any way to meet the production target without spending money."
She is not an omniscient and omnipotent god who can solve the problem that is bothering Xia Lele with just one sentence. She will go back to the brigade tomorrow to ask her parents, and then think about it herself to see if she can come up with a solution.
"Thank you..."
Xia Lele was deeply moved.
He was originally having a terrible headache because of this matter, and now there was another person sharing his headache. Somehow, his symptoms suddenly eased a lot.
"Let's not talk about this for now," Bai Ying glanced at Sui Bo, who had fainted on the ground. The wounds on his eyes and shoulders were still bleeding, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured. "Let's go out and explain the situation to the director first. I'll have to trouble you to come with me later and bear witness to prove that Sui Bo was trying to do something bad to me, which is why I hurt him."
"No problem!" Xia Lele patted his chest and said, "Don't worry!"
As he spoke, Xia Lele was about to walk towards the door and open the tightly closed door of the warehouse, but Bai Ying quickly reached out and grabbed him, stopping Xia Lele's reckless action.
"What's wrong?" Xia Lele expressed confusion.
Bai Ying frowned and said, "Sui Bo's men are guarding the door. If we go out like this, we will probably be controlled by them."
Neither she nor Xia Lele were very strong in fighting power. The reason they were able to defeat Sui Bo was not only because they worked together, but also because Sui Bo underestimated his enemy and did not bring any weapons.
But the man guarding the door outside was carrying a gun...
If they went out so openly, it would be purely to deliver food.
Xia Lele was confused for a while, then seemed to have thought of something. He pointed to the back of the warehouse and said, "How about we crawl out through the dog hole?"
Bai Ying: “…”
Just as they were speechless, a series of clanging sounds of fighting suddenly came from outside, and before the two of them could figure out what was going on.
Another gunshot suddenly rang out!
Even though there was a door between them, Bai Ying and Xia Lele in the warehouse still felt their ears buzzing.
"What, what happened?" Xia Lele was at a loss.
Bai Ying did not answer. She looked a little dazed, and a bold guess popped up in her mind uncontrollably.
Could it be that... Shen Ao came to save her?
When she thought of this, Bai Ying's heart started pounding. She ignored what she had just told Xia Lele and quickly ran towards the door!
Squeak——
Bai Ying cautiously opened the door a little and looked out through the gap.
