Chapter 108 Just go about your business
At this moment, the murderer they were looking for was soaking in the hot springs in the space, comfortably eating delicious grapes...
Twenty minutes passed, and the group still hadn't found the murderer. They were disgusted by the smell on Zou Meihua, so they all left.
Tan Mingshan and Tan Kai also knew that the person who beat Zou Meihua would definitely not be found, so they endured the nausea and took the person back to the front yard.
Shang Ruoting had almost enjoyed herself in the space, and she thought that it was impossible for Zou Meihua to still be there with a body covered in shit.
So she slipped out of the space and continued to hide behind the pile of firewood to check the situation outside.
I could faintly hear the sound of water splashing in the front yard. It must be Zou Meihua cleaning the dirt there.
She stood up, jumped over the fence and ran back quickly.
In theory, she really wanted to stay and see how miserable Zou Meihua looked, but she was worried that if she stayed out for too long, Tan Chen might find out that she was missing and come out to look for her, and then the fact that he had beaten Zou Meihua would be exposed.
Therefore, Shang Ruoting did not dare to delay for a moment and trotted all the way back home.
Fortunately, Tan Chen was preoccupied today and sat in the room in a daze, not paying much attention to the time when Shang Ruoting left.
Shang Ruoting entered the yard, tiptoed into the kitchen, took out a bucket of hot spring water from the space and walked into her and Tan Chen's room.
When Tan Chen heard the door open, he came to his senses and quickly ran to the door to take the bucket.
"I'll do it myself. You've worked hard all day, so go to bed early."
Shang Ruoting was indeed a little tired today. She handed the bucket to Tan Chen and planned to go to bed.
She thought the quilt she washed had dried long ago, so she wouldn't have to share the same quilt with Tan Chen. However, the quilt on the small bed was still the one that Old Lady Shang had prepared for her...
Although she did not reject contact with Tan Chen, she always felt a little embarrassed.
Shang Ruoting shook her head helplessly, took off her coat and lay down on the outside of the bed.
Thinking about Zou Meihua's miserable appearance just now, he fell asleep happily.
Tan Chen didn't know when he returned to bed. In short, Shang Ruoting didn't see him when she opened her eyes.
It was already bright outside, so she quickly got up, put on her clothes and went out.
Old Mrs. Shang and Tan Chen were not at home.
She subconsciously glanced at the watch on her wrist and saw that it was already past seven o'clock.
I guess these two people went to work in the chicken coop.
Shang Ruoting washed up and went to the kitchen. Old Mrs. Shang had already prepared breakfast: a small bowl of cornmeal porridge, and the leftover roast duck and pancakes from yesterday.
She ate a little and planned to go to the chicken coop first. She wondered how the egg production had been during the days she was away since the chickens had not been able to drink the spiritual spring water.
When they arrived at the chicken coop, Tan Chen and Old Lady Shang had already cleaned up the manure on the ground and were putting rice bran into the stone trough.
When Old Lady Shang saw Shang Ruoting coming over, she sighed, "Tingting, no wonder Deputy Captain Wang asked you to be in charge of the three chicken coops. Yangmei and I have been taking good care of them these past few days, but the egg production just won't increase."
Shang Ruoting looked at Old Lady Shang with a smile and asked, "Grandma, I forgot to ask yesterday. How many eggs have we handed in to the team in the past few days?"
Old Mrs. Shang looked at the chickens pecking at the rice bran and said, "They were fine the day you left, laying almost 800 eggs. But in the last two days, they've only laid a little over 600 eggs each day."
After listening to Old Lady Shang's words, Shang Ruoting had a general understanding of the effect of feeding chickens with spiritual spring water. In other words, feeding chickens with spiritual spring water for one day would be effective for two days.
However, although the output in the last two days was less, it is estimated to be higher than the previous output. This quantity is very good and will not arouse suspicion.
"Nai, a daily output of over 600 is not a small amount, but I just don't get the extra 10 work points."
Old Mrs. Shang is also a very insightful person: "Grandma is greedy. Seeing how many eggs you laid when you were raising them, I always feel that 600 is too few. If it were in previous years, these chickens laying 600 eggs a day would have been a bumper harvest."
As the two were talking, Tan Chen passed by them carrying a bag of rice bran.
"Ruoting, I want to discuss something with you."
Shang Ruoting raised her eyebrows and waited for him to continue.
"I don't plan to take on any work in the team recently. I'll help you take care of the chicken coop for now. It will also be easier for you and grandma."
"In a few days, the team will be less busy. I plan to build our house as soon as possible. I'll go to the city and buy some materials during these few days."
Shang Ruoting had never expected to earn a living by earning wages, so she was very supportive of what Tan Chen proposed: "Okay, let's build a house first. I can handle the chicken coop by myself, so you can go do your thing."
Tan Chen nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the city later and ask about the price first."
Shang Ruoting watched Tan Chen and Old Lady Shang busying themselves, and joined in. Her main purpose was to add some spiritual spring water into the trough.
This time, she halved the amount of spiritual spring water and first observed the egg production of the chickens.
After dealing with the chicken coop, Tan Chen set out to the city to look at building materials. Shang Ruoting sent Old Lady Shang home and went directly to the production team.
