Lu Yuan thought for a long time, and finally, after more than ten minutes, he slowly said, "Dad, that's a really good idea!"
"Hehe! Right! That's what I've been doing at the construction site lately! I can't manage dozens of people all by myself, so I've delegated all the tasks to individuals! Each person is responsible for one task, and all I need to do is check! They complete their tasks by subcontracting, and no one gets more or less! No one complains. If they don't do it well, they redo it; if they do it well, they rest!" Dad Lu said proudly.
Lu Yuan gave his father a thumbs up.
"Since we're going to divide things up, let's just distribute everything! I'll issue tasks collectively, and we'll notify everyone if anything happens. That way, we won't have to take care of everyone's lives! Our family has been exhausted lately!"
Thinking about his work during this period, Lu Yuan felt aches all over his body, but there was nothing he could do. He had always treated himself like an iron man and wanted to do everything himself, but he forgot that one person's brain was definitely not as good as a group of people's brains. Everyone would definitely have a better solution!
"Send them all out? No way! If that's the case, will anyone listen to you anymore? You've worked so hard to get this far! If people lose heart, then it'll be a real problem!"
Lu Yuan smiled slightly: "Actually, I'm not very interested in being the leader of this camp. I've wanted to hand over the position for a long time, but I was worried that my efforts would be in vain since the work wasn't finished. But now that everything is basically done, I think I should take a good rest! Our family should also enjoy our own lives!"
Father Lu nodded: "Alright! Although this leader has a lot of power, it's not the same as before the apocalypse. Being an official meant you could be powerful and live a good life. This job is exhausting and not necessarily rewarding! It's better not to do it!"
As he spoke, Lu's father threw a cigarette at Lu Yuan, but after thinking about it, he took it back.
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Dad, what's going on?"
"Hmph! Xiaoshan's belly isn't showing any signs of pregnancy! She's about to have a baby, and you're still smoking! I was just testing you! Don't smoke anymore! Quit right now! It's bad for the baby!"
Lu Yuan's face darkened.
"Dad! That's going too far! You've been smoking for decades, and you didn't quit when Mom was giving birth to me! Now you're asking me to quit? Isn't that a bit much?"
"Hmph! I'm doing this for your own good! Besides, children in the past were raised casually, unlike children nowadays who are so precious, and this is my eldest grandson! I won't allow you to hurt him before he's even born! Oh, and I've confiscated all your cigarettes!"
Lu Yuan froze on the spot. No wonder his father was smoking so casually just now; it turned out he was smoking his own cigarette.
Looking at his father's figure, Lu Yuan could only look helpless.
They brought in several key leaders, which were actually just their own family members, Zhou Tong and Du Heng, and a few other elderly people.
Lu Yuan coughed lightly and said, "Ahem! Everyone, there are a few things I want to announce at this meeting today."
Everyone nodded and sat up straight to listen to Lu Yuan's speech. Although he had relayed most of what he said to Lu Yuan, there were still a few people who didn't know the things that others had told them.
"First and foremost, we must celebrate that our cave has been completely dug and decorated!"
After he finished speaking, Lu Yuan led the applause, and everyone followed suit with smiles on their faces.
"This is all thanks to everyone's hard work. I think all two hundred-plus people in the camp will remember it! Everyone is a hero, and everyone deserves credit. I actually wanted to give everyone a medal, but... hehe, never mind, we're short on supplies, so let's just give them a verbal reward!"
Du Heng grinned from ear to ear: "Alright, Lao Lu. All you do is engage in this kind of formalism. What kind of reward do you want? Getting a bigger share of the meat is the right thing to do!"
"You talk too much! You're such a glutton!" Lu Yuan glanced at the other person.
After everyone laughed, Lu Yuan spoke again: "The second thing is that the area behind the mountain has now been developed into potato fields, yam fields, and other underground crop cultivation areas. Now that place is our treasure trove. These things are our life-saving food. If we really run out of food, that will be our last resort. So we can't tell anyone about this!"
Don't worry! We've got our mouths shut!
"Yes! That place is very important, not many people know about it! I've already given the instructions!" Xiaoshan's father said, tapping the table.
Lu Yuan nodded: "Yes! I trust everyone. My main concern is that if any problems arise in the future, someone might try to take advantage of that place!"
"Hmph! Who dares! I'll be the first to deal with him!" Zhou Tong said with a murderous look, seemingly intending to give everyone a warning.
Lu Yuan gestured for everyone to stop: "I just wanted to mention this to everyone, it's nothing much, just one last thing!"
Everyone sat up straight again.
"This matter only concerns our remaining pigs, cattle, sheep, poultry, and fish in the fishpond. I discussed it with my dad a couple of days ago, and we decided to distribute all of these things!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
The first to speak was Lu's mother.
