Chapter 114: Searching the Forest



Lin Manman followed Veterinarian Wang and quickly arrived at the pig farm. As soon as Lin Manman entered the pig house, she saw a man coming up and stopping her and saying:

"What do you do? Do you just walk into the piggery at the pig farm? If something is missing or the pigs get sick, can you take responsibility?"

Veterinarian Wang came up quickly and helped Lin Manman out:

"Comrade Nian, this is Veterinarian Lin who came with me. She is very experienced in raising pigs, and she came here to help me!"

Nian Daming did not give face to Veterinarian Wang. He had always looked down on Veterinarian Wang and felt that Veterinarian Wang was inflexible. So he did not give face to Veterinarian Wang and continued to exaggerate:

"Veterinarian Wang, you are too careless about the pig farm. How can you bring people into the pig house casually? Who gave you permission? Get rid of the people you brought with you right away! Seriously!"

Seeing that Nian Daming was not giving in, Lin Manman said bluntly:

"Whose approval did Comrade Nian want? Didn't the pig farm ask the animal husbandry station to come and treat the pigs? How come it's a mistake for our animal husbandry station to send one more person?"

"In that case, Comrade Nian should call Director Wei of the Animal Husbandry Station and ask him to stop sending people to the station. If the pigs at the pig farm get sick, the farm should handle it on its own!"

"I think Comrade Nian is definitely capable of shouldering this responsibility, right?"

Nian Daming didn't expect Lin Manman to be so sharp-tongued. He had previously tried to make things difficult for Veterinarian Wang, but Veterinarian Wang had always endured it. Now a little veterinarian came and actually went against him. How could Nian Daming agree? He said angrily:

"Comrade Lin, what are you talking about? I just asked a question, but you're going to quit. Is this your attitude towards work? I want to report this to your deputy station chief Wan. Is this how the veterinarians at their animal husbandry station work?"

Hearing him mention Deputy Station Master Wan, Lin Manman became interested. She came to the pig farm, in addition to wanting to get the qualification certificate as soon as possible, there was another reason, which was to find someone who could cooperate with Wan Defu and Yu Hao inside and outside the pig farm!

There was an outbreak of "swine fever" in the pig farm, and the pigs were taken out and buried so quickly. The pigs fell down again, just like the swine fever. They must have been given medicine!

Whoever could do this must be a worker inside the pig farm. Lin Manman wants to find this person!

So when Lin Manman heard that Nian Daming seemed to be very familiar with Deputy Station Master Wan, his eyes turned and he asked:

"Comrade Nian, are you familiar with our Deputy Station Master Wan?"

Nian Daming thought Lin Manman was scared, and said proudly:

"Of course, your deputy station chief Wan and I are related by blood. When he sees me, he has to call me his second brother-in-law!"

"Are you scared now? It's too late. Could you please stop being so stubborn just now?"

"Alright, alright, hurry up and apologize to me, and I'll forgive you for this. Otherwise, don't blame me for asking my brother-in-law to stop you from doing this!"

When he heard that Lin Man was not allowed to work anymore, even though Lin Manman hadn't done anything yet, Veterinarian Wang's face changed and he wanted to apologize on behalf of Lin Manman!

Lin Manman had observed almost everything and had a rough idea in his mind. Without waiting for Veterinarian Wang to apologize, he tried to establish a relationship with Nian Daming and said:

"Comrade Nian, please don't bother with a young kid like me. I'll invite you to the cafeteria for lunch at noon. I just want to ask you something!"

When Nian Daming heard that Lin Manman invited him to dinner, he felt that Lin Manman was very considerate, and happily patted Lin Manman on the shoulder and said:

"That's right, young man. It's good to admit your mistakes and correct them. I happen to be free at noon. Comrade Lin will be worried if I don't agree. So I won't be polite!"

After saying that, Nian Daming raised his head and walked away from Lin Manman and Veterinarian Wang with a proud look on his face!

Although Veterinarian Wang didn't know why Lin Manman suddenly changed her attitude, she was not someone who could compromise given the way Lin Manman was able to confront Yu Hao and Wan Defu. There must be something fishy going on here!

Although he didn't know what the trick was, Veterinarian Wang still reminded Lin Manman:

"Comrade Lin, Nian Daming is an old man at the pig farm and is very familiar with it. You'd better not offend him, or he will trip you up and you will suffer!"

Lin Manman blinked and pretended not to understand:

"Of course I have to get along well with him. After all, I have to accompany Veterinarian Wang to the pig farm frequently recently! How could I possibly offend Comrade Nian!"

"Oh, by the way, Veterinarian Wang, I can't let Comrade Yu read his self-criticism and apology at noon. Please tell him for me. Um, it will be the same if he reads it in the evening!"

It was impossible not to read the apology letter. How could she let Yu Hao go? She would rather get off work later at night than let Yu Hao take advantage of her!

At noon, Lin Manman took Nian Daming, who had been waiting on the side, to the pig farm canteen!

The food in the pig farm cafeteria is quite good. After all, they raise pigs there, and it’s winter, so pork is still available every day, and you don’t need a ticket!

Today we serve two meat dishes, braised pork and potatoes and stewed cabbage with meat!

There is a lot of braised pork in the braised pork and potatoes dish, and the price is also high, 50 cents per portion. If Nian Daming hadn't been along, Lin Manman would definitely have ordered the braised pork and potatoes dish. After all, it's so rare to get braised pork that doesn't require a ticket!

However, Nian Daming is right next to her, so forget it, she should just bear with it!

Lin Manman turned around and took another look at the pork stewed with cabbage, which also cost 30 cents per serving. Well, it would be a waste to give it to Nian Daming, so she wouldn't buy it!

Lin Manman decisively said to the lady serving the meal:

"Auntie, four big pancakes, plus a portion of boiled cabbage and a portion of radish soup. I'll give you eight taels of food coupons and ten cents!"

That’s right, Lin Manman finally chose the cheapest boiled cabbage and radish soup in the whole cafeteria, which was not oily at all! She also bought less staple food, just 2 big pancakes per person!

Seeing Lin Manman finish his meal, Nian Daming's face turned green. He reminded Lin Manman:

"Comrade Lin, today we serve braised pork and potatoes and pork stewed with cabbage. These two dishes are the specialties of our pig farm canteen. You are in for a treat today!"

Lin Manman smiled and refused:

"It looks good, but it's 50 cents each and 30 cents each. It's too expensive. I can't afford it!"

"Let's just have two big pancakes, boiled cabbage, and radish soup, which is good!"

"Comrade Nian, are you going to have boiled cabbage or radish soup? Our canteen chefs are very skilled. Look how tasty these two dishes are. They are no worse than meat dishes!"

This is pure lies. As for these two dishes in the pig farm canteen, they don't even put any soy sauce in them except salt. How can you eat them!

If Nian Daming hadn't seen that Lin Manman was holding four big pancakes, he wouldn't have wanted to take advantage of her!

However, for the sake of the four big pancakes, Nian Daming reluctantly ate with Lin Manman!

Lin Manman found a seat in a corner and sat down. After sharing two big pancakes with Nian Daming, the two started eating!

Originally, Lin Manman's mind was not on the meal, and the meal was not tasty. Lin Manman put the pancake aside and asked Nian Daming:

"Comrade Nian, how many years have you worked at the pig farm?"

These are all common questions, Nian Daming answered casually:

"I have been working in the pig farm for more than ten years, ever since I took over my father's job!"
