"Alright, this matter is perfectly resolved. Qiaozhen and I will head back now."
After chatting for a while, Li Daniu and his companion prepared to leave.
"Why don't you have a meal here before you leave?" Lin Chaosheng suggested modestly, but Li Qiaozhen waved her hand and said, "No, no, let's save this meal for later. My brother and I will come over to eat another time. We still have a lot of things to take care of at home."
Lin Chaosheng knew they were probably going back to deal with Li Erniu's matter, since that guy was quite troublesome and difficult to handle.
"Okay, then let's get together again when we have the chance. You two drive carefully on your way back."
Don't worry.
Li Daniu was riding a bicycle, with Li Qiaozhen sitting on the back seat.
The bicycle had already ridden quite a distance, but Lin Shansheng was still standing there watching without even blinking.
"What are you looking at? They've already ridden far ahead, and you're still standing here watching. I don't want you to leave and catch up with them."
Hearing his older brother's teasing, Lin Shansheng's ears turned red, and he said, "Who's reluctant to leave? Then hurry home, or Mom and Dad will worry again."
"Okay, let's go."
As Lin Chaosheng and his companion were about to leave, they were stopped by the brigade leader.
"You two, don't rush, come in with me."
Lin Chaosheng and his companion followed the captain into the office, completely bewildered.
The captain closed the office door, shutting out all the curious glances from outside.
Then he opened the drawer and took out an envelope.
"Here's 500 yuan, a reward for you two brothers for reporting this information."
Upon hearing the captain's words, Mr. Lin's eyes widened as he took the thick envelope.
"As for the various coupons inside this envelope, such as grain coupons and bicycle coupons, you should have them all. Keep them safe and don't let anyone with malicious intent see them. I will not be responsible if they are lost."
Lin Chaosheng immediately dropped his joking expression, solemnly accepted the envelope from the brigade leader, and said, "Brigade leader, this is something we brothers should do. If we really discovered the grain depot and didn't report it, what kind of people would we be? Wouldn't we just watch our villagers starve to death? We can't do that anyway. So we brothers can't accept this money and coupons."
As he spoke, he took the envelope from Lin Shansheng's hand and was about to return it, along with the one he was holding, to the brigade leader.
"Good children! You are both good children."
The captain was deeply moved by Lin Chaosheng's words and quickly pushed the envelope back.
"Take it, these are all what you two brothers deserve."
"Don't underestimate the value of money and tickets now. Who knows, in a few years our country might develop at a faster pace. Then these things will be a wealth."
Lin Chaosheng certainly knew this. What the brigade leader said was true. If they could get through these two years, the country's economy would develop rapidly.
At that point, money will truly be money.
Tickets are extremely hard to come by; this is no exaggeration.
"Then we brothers won't stand on ceremony with you, Captain. Rest assured, our Lin family will continue to contribute to our island in the future."
The captain smiled, patted the two brothers on the shoulder, and then opened the door to see them out.
People outside craned their necks to see them come out.
"I guess they gave them money again. Look at the smiles on their faces, each one brighter than the last."
"Is there even a need to guess? It's definitely true! What? Are you envious too?"
"Nonsense, you should ask who isn't envious, but we're not jealous."
"After all, the benefits are all on us. We are able to eat our fill thanks to the Lin brothers, Chaosheng and Shansheng. They are not losing out by taking this money."
"Exactly, I wonder where all those malicious cases of conjunctivitis come from..."
Lin Chaosheng and Lin Shansheng walked quickly home. "Brother, our Lin family has really had a lucky year."
Lin Chaosheng smiled as he listened to his younger brother's words.
Did they really hit the jackpot?
He actually thought so too. If he hadn't had such good fortune, how could he have gotten a chance to be reborn? And he even activated the system, leading his family to a better life and having the opportunity to make up for the mistakes he made in his previous life.
But perhaps it's just that God has finally opened his eyes.
"We'll give this money and tickets to our parents when we get back. My brother and I won't keep them."
As Lin Chaosheng spoke, Lin Shansheng nodded in agreement.
Lin Chaosheng was quite surprised that Lin Shansheng wasn't greedy for money. His younger brother seemed to be a bit slow on the uptake and didn't know how to make money.
"Anyway, you're not young anymore, you could be saving money to get married, haven't you ever thought about saving some money?"
"Brother, what era are we living in? You're still saving money to get married? I used to think that being able to eat my fill and not starve was the greatest happiness. As for the life I have now, it's something I never dared to dream of before, so I'm already very content."
Contentment is a blessing. His mother often told him this in his past life, but he always forgot it as soon as he heard it.
If I had listened to these words like my brother did in my past life, perhaps I could have avoided many mistakes that I shouldn't have made, which led to my current predicament.
"You're right, but don't worry, when you find someone you like and want to get married, your older brother will pay for all the dowry!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Shansheng's eyes lit up, and he didn't refuse at all. "Big brother, you said it yourself, so I'll remember it. You won't be able to refuse the money later!"
"Don't worry, you little rascal."
Lin Chaosheng smiled and put his arm around his shoulder, and the two brothers ran home together.
From a great distance, Su Hang, who was watching the rabbits in the yard, saw the two of them running back.
"Big brother, second brother, why are you two laughing so happily? Come and see our rabbit has given birth!"
Su Hang pointed out the baby rabbits in the cage to them; there were more than twenty of them.
Lin Shansheng stared in disbelief, pointing to the two long-haired rabbits beside him and saying, "These twenty-odd rabbits were all bred by those two?"
"Yeah, that's considered a small number. I've heard that some rabbits can have as many as thirty offspring, and they're all born to females. How could a male rabbit possibly have offspring?"
Liang Mei came out of the main room, holding a cool handkerchief, and came over to wipe Lin Chaosheng's sweaty forehead.
"I can wipe it myself, don't tire yourself out."
Lin Chaosheng considerately took the handkerchief from Liang Mei's hand, while Lin Shansheng instantly turned his head away—he simply couldn't bear to look.
"The number of rabbits is increasing, and maybe we can open a factory called the Angora Rabbit Breeding Base."
Lin Shansheng was still joking when Lin Chaosheng said, "Dad, you're right, this isn't impossible, but we still don't have enough rabbits. I'll ask someone to help us out when we have at least 200 rabbits."
