The old man made a casual joke, then, as if he had just thought of something, he said to Lin Chaosheng.
"Oh, right, we just ran into Captain Wei. They asked us if we had seen Chaosheng. They probably need to talk to you. Remember to go to the brigade headquarters to find Captain Wei later."
"Captain Wei wants to talk to me?" Lin Chaosheng was puzzled for a moment, then realized that he probably wanted to talk to him about raising rabbits.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, sir. I'll be right there."
Seeing this, Lin Shansheng said, "Then I'll go over to Old Sun's place and see how his paint mixing is going."
"Okay, go ahead. If you have any other requests, just tell him directly."
The two brothers parted ways at the village entrance, and Lin Chaosheng rode his bicycle to the brigade headquarters.
"Captain Wei, I heard you wanted to see me about something?"
Lin Chaosheng walked into Captain Wei's office. Captain Mei was sitting at her desk drinking tea, but the tea leaves were old and had been brewed in countless vats of water.
"You bet! I've been looking for you all morning, but I haven't found a single trace of you."
Captain Wei said with a smile, and Lin Chaosheng smiled embarrassedly: "I just bought a piece of land in the city to grow watermelons. I just went to work on the watermelon plot with Shansheng."
"Okay, okay, I know you're busy, you're a big boss now. It's understandable that I can't find you. Maybe I'll have to make an appointment to see you in the future, just like a boss."
Captain Wei was joking, unaware that his words would later become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
"By the way, Captain Wei, so what exactly did you want to see me about?"
"Didn't you want a plot of land specifically for raising rabbits? I wrote a report and submitted it to the commune, and the commune replied with a document today."
Captain Mei handed an approval document to Lin Chaosheng.
"Take a look at it yourself first. If you have no objections, then do as the commune says."
Lin Chaosheng took the paper and read it carefully.
"What the commune meant was that housing resources are scarce right now, so if you want a house that people can actually live in, there's definitely none available. But we can demolish those small courtyards that are about to collapse, and then keep the surrounding walls. Anyway, you're just going to put some rabbit cages or something, right? It's like a chicken farm or duck farm."
"See if you can accept this. If you can, I'll have someone take care of it right now, and it should be done for you by the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"Not only that, the commune thinks your behavior is very exemplary. They said that if you can accept it, the company can approve and stamp it for you. In the future, your rabbit farm will be legal and compliant, and you won't have to worry about anyone checking it."
Captain Wei's words immediately stirred Lin Chaosheng's heart.
In this day and age, the crackdown on vendors is very severe, especially on unlicensed farms like his. They're guaranteed to be caught, and even if they don't get shot, they'll spend most of their lives in jail.
However, if you have the proper legal procedures, then you won't have this problem.
"Captain Wei, are you kidding me? Is the commune really going to issue me the paperwork? If so, that would be wonderful! It would be the best thing ever that has ever bothered me!"
Seeing the excited expression on Lin Chaosheng's face, Captain Wei also laughed heartily. He clapped his hands and said, "To be honest, I didn't expect the commune to make this decision. When I first heard it, I thought I had misheard. Later, I checked with the higher-ups and found that they were sure that was the intention, so I dared to convey it to you. This shows that the higher-ups value you very much."
"In that case, I certainly cannot let the commune down. Moreover, the conditions offered by the commune are very good, so I am very grateful to the board for their support of my work."
"Great!" Captain Wei's face flushed with excitement. "It really had to be you, Chaosheng. Our brigade's poverty alleviation targets for this year are all in your hands!"
"I can't guarantee it, but I will definitely try my best."
"Then I'll give the order right away. Have someone demolish the buildings inside the school now, and try to get you the rabbit cages in by the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you for your support, Captain Wei."
After finalizing the cooperation agreement, Lin Chaosheng rode his bicycle home.
"Why are you back so early today?"
Liang Mei looked at him in surprise. Usually, Lin Chaosheng would not return until the afternoon.
"We finished early today, so we'll be back early. Not only that, I have some good news to tell you."
Lin Chaosheng winked mysteriously at Liang Mei, who looked at him with amusement and said, "You have good news to tell us every day."
"So what? It just means your husband is capable."
Lin Chaosheng smiled and put his arm around Liang Mei's waist, placing his hand on her stomach, and asked, "Are you going for another prenatal checkup?"
"Yes, it'll be in the next couple of days. But I'm actually a little reluctant to go. In our rural area, there aren't many customs surrounding childbirth. I've never seen anyone go for a prenatal checkup every month after giving birth. Most of them haven't had a single prenatal checkup, and the babies they've given birth to seem quite healthy."
Liang Mei hesitated for a moment, but still told Lin Chaosheng what was on her mind.
"Actually, I think it's a bit of a waste of money..."
Liang Mei tugged at Lin Chaosheng's clothes, blinking her big eyes at him.
"Chaosheng, am I a bit stingy?"
Lin Chaosheng felt a warmth in his heart when he saw her eyes. He reached out and touched the tip of her nose, then flicked her forehead, but with just the right amount of force so that she wouldn't feel any pain.
"How can this be called stingy? My wife feels sorry for me because I work hard to earn money, and I'm overjoyed."
Liang Mei smiled shyly: "That's good."
Although Lin Chaosheng thought his wife was cute, he was, after all, a modern man and knew that prenatal checkups could prevent many bad things from happening.
If the fetus is unhealthy, then it is definitely more appropriate to terminate the pregnancy than to give birth to it.
This will also reduce a lot of the mother's pain.
"But we can't skip these prenatal checkups; we have to go every month. If the baby isn't healthy, we can make some preparations as early as possible. After all, we're still young, you know?"
Liang Mei understood his unspoken meaning. Although she was very reluctant, she also knew that this money could not be saved.
"Okay, I understand. I will listen to you and go to my prenatal checkup obediently."
"Don't worry, your husband won't let you do it alone. No matter what happens, your husband will be there for you."
The two gazed deeply into each other's eyes in the courtyard, almost kissing.
"Ahem, what are you doing? Watch your step!"
