"What kind of good thing is this? With more rabbits, there's more waste of dry food. Even hay needs to be picked and processed by someone. And taking care of the rabbits every day requires manpower. With just a few people in our family, how can we possibly manage?"
Liang Mei looked worried, placing her hand on her already protruding belly. She sighed inwardly that the baby had come at the worst possible time. If it had come later, she could have helped the family with more chores.
"If I say it's good news, then it's good news. Everyone, don't worry!"
Lin Chaosheng's face was beaming with joy, a stark contrast to the worried expressions on the faces of the others.
"Mom, what are we having for dinner? When is dinner? I'm starving. Shansheng and I have been working in the county town all afternoon. We need to eat something to replenish our energy."
"Dinner's ready! Dinner's ready! Look at me, I've been so focused on the rabbits that I've completely forgotten about dinner! Xiaomei and Xiaofu, come and help me out!"
Zhao Shufang slapped her forehead and quickly called Liang Fu and Liang Mei away.
After finishing dinner, Lin Chaosheng said goodbye to his family and went out.
"Sis, where did my brother-in-law go? He's being so secretive. I've never seen him leave the house after dinner before!"
Liang Fu was washing dishes when she asked Liang Mei with a curious look on her face.
"I don't know either, but I always feel it's related to the rabbits."
As Liang Mei watched her husband's departing figure, she had a feeling that he was about to do something big.
Lin Chaosheng was indeed going to do something big.
After leaving home, he went straight to the brigade headquarters.
"Captain Wei, Village Chief Lü, are you there?"
Lin Chaosheng knocked on the door. As soon as the captain heard Lin Chaosheng's voice, he immediately said, "Is this Chaosheng? We're both here. Come in."
Lin Chaosheng.
He strode inside immediately, and both Village Chief Lü and Captain Wei were sitting in their respective seats watching him walk in.
"Chaosheng, what brings you here? You don't need to borrow a hunting rifle again, do you?"
Village Chief Lü asked with a grin, after all, he still vividly remembered Lin Chaosheng's several major actions.
There aren't many young people with such talent anymore.
Moreover, their brigade received several commendations from the commune because of Lin Chaosheng, which made him very famous in the surrounding villages.
Those old guys who used to look down on him now fawn over him, and he's incredibly pleased with themselves.
"I do have something to discuss with you two, but it's not about borrowing a hunting rifle."
Lin Chaosheng spoke with a smile, but his face was serious.
Village Chief Lü and Captain Wei immediately became interested upon hearing his words. If it were anyone else saying this, they might have thought the other person was joking, but if it was Lin Chaosheng, they would have to think twice.
"Speak, Kobayashi, what do you want to talk to us about this time?"
Village Chief Lü chuckled and joked, "Yeah, what can the two of us do to help you? You're the richest person in the village now. Maybe we'll even ask you to do things for us in the future."
Village Chief Lü and Captain Wei are unaware that what he's saying now is a sure thing; they'll actually have to ask Lin Chaosheng for favors in the future.
"Here's the thing, Shansheng caught two long-haired rabbits on the mountain before. He originally just wanted to keep them at home for my wife and sister-in-law to play with. But unexpectedly, these two rabbits kept having more and more babies, and now they've all taken up their nests. There will probably be seventy or eighty babies after this batch is born."
Lin Chaosheng said this with a worried look on his face, just waiting for Village Chief Lü and Captain Wei to jump into the pit.
As expected, both Captain Wei and Village Chief Lü showed expressions of surprise and delight after hearing what Lin Chaosheng said.
"If we could sell so many rabbits to our production team, wouldn't everyone in our village have meat to eat again!"
"Chaosheng, you came here just to talk to us about selling rabbits, right?"
Village Chief Lü and Captain Wei were exchanging words when Lin Chaosheng said with a smile, "I did come to see you two for the rabbits, but not to sell them."
These words left Captain Wei and Village Chief Lü completely baffled. They looked at each other and said, "You're talking to us about rabbits, but you don't want to sell them. What is it for then?"
"Yes, Xiao Lin, please explain yourself more clearly, otherwise these two old folks won't be able to understand!"
Lin Chaosheng chuckled, straightened his expression, and began to explain his plan.
“Here’s what I’m thinking: I’ve heard that these long-haired rabbits can be sold to factories that make insoles and fur collars, and can be made into finished products for sale. In other words, if our village can raise these rabbits on a large scale, it can lead the whole village to prosperity.”
Upon hearing Lin Chaosheng's words, Captain Wei and Village Chief Lü immediately became respectful. They had not expected Lin Chaosheng to have such progressive ideas and to be considering the needs of the brigade.
"My God, Chaosheng, your level of awareness... you wouldn't be thinking of..."
Captain Wei looked at him with excitement.
Lin Chaosheng nodded as expected.
“That’s right, I want to get the whole village involved in this, but we might not need that many people right now.”
“Actually, my family has enough manpower to handle this matter, but I feel that it is a year of famine, and everyone is having a hard time. It is impossible for me to lead everyone to hunt in the mountains and fish in the sea so that every family can afford to eat, right?”
“In that case, only the Lin family in our village will make progress. But I want every household in the village to be able to eat a hot meal and get rich through their own efforts without relying on others. This will also make our brigade an outstanding brigade every year. Maybe the two leaders will even receive national awards!”
Lin Chaosheng elevated the matter to a higher level, which indeed made Captain Wei and Village Chief Lü's blood boil. The two of them actually stood up and shook Lin Chaosheng's hands.
"Chaosheng, our brigade needs a young man with your awareness. Having you in our brigade is truly a blessing!"
Captain Wei was so excited that his voice trembled as he spoke.
Lin Chaosheng found the scene somewhat amusing. He hadn't expected that his words would excite two middle-aged men in their forties and fifties to such an extent.
"Please calm down and let me finish what I have to say. Perhaps you won't want to hear what I'm about to say?"
"Oh, what's there to say about whether you want to listen or not? We're already very grateful for your kindness!"
