"Why?"
"It's my intuition!" Li Wanwan said without hesitation.
"Brother Shen tells my brother everything he knows, but my brother never thinks of anything. He always just watches what you and Brother Shen do."
Furthermore, I've observed that no matter what you do, your initial motivation is always your own, but in the end, it always brings unexpected rewards.
For example, two years ago you wanted to eat fresh fruit, so you grew strawberries and blueberries at home. As a result, during the global rainy season, everyone had little to eat, but you were able to store some dried fruit.
Also, last year when you and my brother went on a trip, you were originally going to wander around the vicinity of Haishi, but you said you wanted to go to Qingli Mountain, and when you came back you bought so much meat.
Sister Qiao An, I always felt that you and Brother Shen were the kind of people with exceptionally strong luck, always managing to make the right choices without even realizing it.
Like this chicken farming project, although my brother said he bought chicks to raise because you wanted to eat meat, I always feel that these chickens might come in handy someday.
Bi Qiaoan only realized after hearing this that Li Zhaozhao hadn't told her everything and had kept some things to himself.
Bi Qiaoan smiled and pinched Li Wanwan's cheek, "Does it really have other effects?"
"What?" Li Wanwan looked at Bi Qiaoan with sparkling eyes.
Bi Qiaoan chuckled and, without keeping them in suspense any longer, said, "Laying eggs, haha!"
Li Wanwan looked at Bi Qiaoan in disbelief, "Sister Qiaoan, you didn't really raise chicks just because you wanted to eat eggs, did you?"
“Yes, that’s right!” Bi Qiaoan nodded affirmatively.
“Okay…” Hearing this reply, Li Wanwan was somewhat disappointed. Bi Qiaoan pulled Li Wanwan and walked back, “We’ve been out for a long time, it’s time to go back.”
The two returned to the living room, where the food prepared by Li's mother was already on the table, including squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, braised pork, braised eggplant, stir-fried sweet potato leaves, mushroom soup, and so on.
"Today, I really want to thank you young men. If it weren't for your reminder, our family might have..." Mrs. Li said with emotion.
Shen Yanming and the others were confused. Li Zhaozhao explained, "Didn't you remind me to sign up for the labor service job during the Spring Festival? My sister and I both passed. At the time, my parents thought we didn't have to do that kind of hard work. But recently, the family business failed, and I'm afraid my sister and I will have to support the family from now on."
Bi Qiaoan asked with some confusion, "Is the clothing business not doing well anymore?"
"The raw materials are controlled, so we can't get good fabrics."
Mr. Li said with some regret, "But it doesn't matter. After a lifetime of hard work, it's not so bad to end up feeding chickens, raising pigs, and growing vegetables. Just consider it an early retirement."
"Is there something good happening today?" Zhang Heping asked.
"Cough cough cough, let's eat first, we'll talk after we finish eating!" Mr. Li explained amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd, "If I tell you now, you might not be able to eat later."
"What good news could possibly make us lose our appetite? Let me tell you, when I first started studying medicine, I ate a roujiamo (Chinese meat sandwich) in front of a cadaver in the anatomy lab and didn't throw up. I don't believe you can say anything that would make me lose my appetite."
Zhang Heping felt that he had an extremely strong mental fortitude. Not only had he developed his courage during his school days, but the weekly surgeries after graduation had also made him accustomed to all kinds of blood and gore. Moreover, with the various parasites he frequently saw in the hospital this month, Zhang Heping felt that nothing could disgust him anymore.
Ji Kangyong has a lot of contact with people and things in his daily life, so he had heard about a few of them. So he patted Zhang Heping on the back and said, "Eating is something you can handle, but can others really handle it? There are three ladies here too!"
"Oh, okay then, let's eat! Auntie's cooking is so delicious!" Zhang Heping said with a grin, picking up a piece of braised eggplant with his chopsticks. He chewed it a few times but hadn't even swallowed it before he started flattering her.
Although talking while eating is not very polite, Li's mother didn't mind at all. She had heard her son say that their good life was all thanks to the abilities of his classmates.
Therefore, capable people are always treated well, and Li's mother was extremely tolerant of Shen Yanming and his group.
After the meal was finished and the tableware and table were cleaned up, Li Zhaozhao finally explained why he had invited everyone to dinner.
That is, Li Zhaozhao and Li Wanwan were transferred to the Qinghe Guard Team to grow Chinese medicinal herbs because of their outstanding performance!
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan congratulated the two with smiles, but Zhang Heping looked bewildered. "Aren't they both just contract workers anyway? It's just a normal transfer. Why are you so happy?"
After congratulating the two, Ji Kangyong said, "It's different. One is like a temporary worker, and the other is like a permanent member. From now on, Wanwan and Zhaozhao will be official members of the guard team."
Li Wanwan blushed and explained, "You can't say that. We're different from the guards. We're in logistics, but we're under their jurisdiction. There's still a big difference."
"There's not much difference, but it's more secure anyway, so congratulations are in order."
After understanding the relationship, Zhang Heping quickly congratulated the Li siblings and then showered Li's parents with compliments, saying things like, "Your son and daughter are so successful! You two will be enjoying the blessings of your grandchildren from now on!"
Li Zhaozhao sat calmly on the sofa. "Although it's a good thing that I've been formally employed, that's not the joy I want to express. What I want to say is..."
Before Li Zhaozhao could finish speaking, Li Wanwan covered her face and ran upstairs. "Don't mind her, she's just embarrassed. It was tough for her, a girl, to persevere. I only achieved what I have today because of Wanwan's encouragement!"
Zhang Heping couldn't stand Li Zhaozhao's smugness any longer. "Speak up! So many people are waiting!"
Li Zhaozhao stopped keeping us in suspense and said, "Wanwan and I applied to become laborers, and the application was approved very quickly, but we haven't been assigned any work yet."
At that time, I was thinking, is this the end? Have we been pushed out or something? Well, what happened? We were assigned to the composting plant.
You know, more than 80% of those laborers were sent to reclaim wasteland. Wanwan and I were prepared for hardship, but in the end, our work wasn't that tiring. It was just that we dealt with all kinds of excrement and urine every day, which was disgusting.
Do you know how smelly those yellowish-white things dug out of the cesspool are? And how creepy the white maggots crawling on them are? A cesspool is half filth and half maggots. Let me tell you, it took Wanwan and me more than half a month to get used to it.
Wanwan works hard during the day, but cries under the covers at night. I wanted to give up then, but my sister kept me going.
When we received the notification that we had been transferred to cultivate medicinal herbs because of our outstanding performance, Wanwan burst into tears and collapsed on the spot. I had to carry her back home.
