The farm-raised chicken is already very fragrant, and Aunt Li stews it for a long time. Adding hazel mushrooms dried in the summer and vermicelli that absorbs the flavor, the taste is simply amazing!
Lin Manman held a large pancake with crumbs on it in one hand, slurped up the vermicelli, and took a bite of the pancake.
Aunt Li saw that Lin Manman didn't eat meat and thought she was embarrassed, so she quickly put a big chicken drumstick in her bowl and said:
"Lin Zhiqing, just treat it like your own home. Don't be shy. Eat more meat. Auntie didn't chop the two big chicken legs. She left them for you. Eat them quickly! Eat them quickly!"
Lin Manman was a little helpless. She was not polite. She just liked eating hazel mushrooms and vermicelli, really!
However, Aunt Li meant well, and the local chicken legs were delicious, so Lin Manman followed Aunt Li's instructions and started to eat the chicken legs.
Seeing that Lin Manman had finished eating, Aunt Li picked up a big chicken leg for Lin Manman. Lin Manman looked at the chicken leg, thought about it, and passed it to Lin Shouwang.
Lin Shouwang was eating when he saw a big chicken leg in his bowl. He looked up and saw his sister Lin Manman smiling at him. Lin Shouwang felt warm in his heart. He lowered his head and took a bite of the chicken leg. It was so delicious, the most delicious chicken leg he had ever eaten!
Lin Manman enjoyed the meal so much that she even started to miss the local chicken in the space!
I bought 20 chickens in Yantan County before, but I haven’t eaten them yet. Now it’s winter, it’s time to stew them!
After dinner, they chatted for a while. It was getting late. Aunt Li filled a basket of melon seeds and a plate of peanuts for Lin Manman and said:
"Lin Zhiqing, these are the melon seeds and peanuts that my aunt made. They are not worth much. Take them back and try them!"
Lin Manman was too embarrassed to eat and take at the same time, so she quickly refused:
"Aunt, you and Uncle Li have already eaten a meal of chicken, how can you take anything else? You keep it, we are leaving now!"
Aunt Li did not allow any refusal and said:
"It's not something valuable that I grow myself. If you don't take it, it means you look down on my aunt's things!"
Lin Manman had no choice but to accept it, thinking that she would have to bring something for Uncle Li and Aunt Li next time she came. It was really unfair for her to have to eat and take things at the same time!
…………
Early the next morning, Li Laonian and Aunt Li went to Captain Wang's house together.
Aunt Li came to see her daughter and grandson, while Li Laonian made an appointment with Captain Wang to go to Lalin Commune to discuss the matter of Lin Manman being the commune’s veterinarian!
As soon as Li Laonian arrived, he and Captain Wang took a ox cart to Lalin Commune.
The two of them arrived at the commune and went straight to Director Xue's office. When they saw Director Xue, Captain Wang said straight to the point:
"Director Xue, how are the pigs our team delivered this year? They are much better than those of the Dongmen Production Team!"
The day Captain Wang handed over the task pig caused quite a stir. Director Xue had heard about it a long time ago and praised it with a smile:
"Youde, your team's mission pigs this year are very well raised. You must have put a lot of thought into it. You deserve praise!"
"It's a good thing that you're here today. Otherwise, I would have also wanted to inform you that there will be a meeting at the end of the year. Please prepare a speech and talk about how your team raises the mission pigs!"
Captain Wang was very excited when he heard about the speech at the year-end meeting. You know, those who can speak at the year-end meeting are all captains of advanced production teams. Doesn't this mean that their team is an advanced production team this year?
Captain Wang said excitedly:
"Director Xue, are you saying that our team is the advanced production team this year?"
Director Xue nodded and said:
"Your team has done a great job this year. Not only did you hand in fat pigs, but you also found ways to buy so many cows and sheep on credit. Naturally, you should be the Advanced Production Team!"
When Li Laonian heard that Wang Youde was rated as an advanced production team because of these things, he was so jealous that he almost soaked in a vinegar jar!
He couldn't bear to see Wang Youde, this "villain", succeed, so he cleared his throat and said:
"Director Xue, if you say that the Democratic Progressive Party's production team did a good job this year, our Dongmen production team will not accept it. How could Wang Youde have achieved such a result? It must be because he recruited a good educated youth and got lucky!"
"If Lin Zhiqing had come to our production team at that time, we would have done better than him! This is not his credit!"
Although Li Laonian's words were somewhat disparaging to Captain Wang, what he said was the truth, and Captain Wang was very grateful to Lin Manman. He rarely argued with Li Laonian and followed his words:
"Director Xue, this is what I want to talk about today. This year, our team was able to deliver such a big fat pig. It was fed by Lin Zhiqing. She had learned from the veterinarian at the Beijing Meat Processing Plant before. She knows how to make pig feed and can treat livestock!"
"The pigs in our team used the feed she prepared before, and they grew very well. Moreover, this year our team's sow had difficulty giving birth, and we consulted the people at the county animal husbandry station, but they said there was no hope for her. However, Lin Zhiqing saved her life, and she even gave birth to 16 piglets!"
Li Laonian continued:
"In our production team, an old cow with a calf got food poisoning a few days ago. She was foaming at the mouth and dying. Lin Zhiqing used our team's food funnel to wash her stomach and saved the cow without hurting the calf. He was really amazing!"
Hearing that Lin Zhiqing was a veterinarian and had good skills, Director Xue was interested and said:
"Oh, this educated youth Lin has this skill? We can't keep it secret. Is he coming? Is he willing to work as a veterinarian in the commune and benefit our entire Lalin Commune?"
This is the purpose of Li Laonian and Captain Wang’s visit today. They were very happy to see that their goal had been achieved.
Captain Wang said excitedly:
"Okay, then I'll ask Lao Zhang to pick him up. She'll be here soon!"
After saying that, Captain Wang hurried out to explain the situation to the coachman, Uncle Zhang, and asked him to go back and pick up Lin Manman!
When Uncle Zhang heard this, he was also happy for Lin Manman. He ran back to the Minjin Production Team without delay, found Lin Manman in the pigpen, and told her what happened!
Lin Manman didn't expect this to go so smoothly, and she was very happy. She followed Uncle Zhang to Lalin Commune!
When she arrived at Lalin Commune, Li Laonian and Captain Wang were waiting for her at the security guard's place.
Seeing Lin Manman coming, the two of them took her to Director Xue's office.
Director Xue was very surprised to see Lin Manman. He thought Lin was a male educated youth around 20 years old, but he didn't expect it to be a female educated youth who looked 16-17 years old!
Fortunately, Director Xue is not a person who judges people by appearance. He smiled and said:
"Just now Youde and Laonian both praised you in front of me, saying that you have good veterinary skills. How long has Lin Zhiqing been studying veterinary medicine?"
Lin Manman didn't want to say too much, so she thought for a while and said:
"I didn't learn it on purpose. I worked as a veterinarian for 4-5 years at the meat processing plant. I saw a lot, so I learned a little bit!"
Director Xue nodded, thinking that he was a humble person, and felt somewhat satisfied.
However, it is not in line with the regulations to work as a veterinarian in the commune without formal training. Director Xue thought about it and said:
"It would be a loss to our Lalin Commune if your skills were buried. However, since you haven't learned systematically, it's not right for you to be our commune's veterinarian directly!"
"Well, I'll write a note to the county animal husbandry station and ask them to train you for a few months before the New Year. You can go to the county animal husbandry station to study. If you pass, you can come back to our commune to be a veterinarian. What do you think?"
