Chapter 285 This thing is very expensive...
Early in the morning, Xu An was not woken up naturally, nor by the chirping of insects and birds, nor by the noise of Xu Kang and Xu Le, but by the voices of other children calling out to Xu Kang and Xu Le.
At six o'clock, when the sun had just risen and the air was still chilly, shouts of "Kang Kang! Le Le!" rang out from downstairs.
As soon as Xu An opened his eyes, he saw the two little ones who had been sleeping like pigs just a second ago suddenly open their eyes and sprang out of their warm beds in a somersault. Dressed in their pajamas, they wanted to run downstairs to play with their new friends.
In the end, Xu An managed to rescue them and changed their clothes one by one before letting them go.
Kids really do have endless energy!
Shaking his head helplessly, Xu An changed his clothes and slowly went downstairs to wash up. While washing up, he heard the two little ones asking questions about the pets kept at the school. Everyone else answered them clearly and logically, and even Xu An couldn't find any mistakes.
That shouldn't be the case. Even if poultry are raised in vacant schools during winter and summer vacations, it's already October, and students have already started school. They shouldn't still be raising them, right?
Just as Xu An was wondering about this, Li Sixin returned from outside, his head covered in fresh daze.
"Uncle Li! The older brothers and sisters said that there are lots and lots of small animals at the school. Is that true?" The two little ones remembered what Xu An had said before going to bed last night the moment they saw Li Sixin, and immediately asked him for confirmation.
“Yes…” Xu Kang squatted down and patted the two men’s furry heads, laughing, “No big pigs, big sheep, big cows, big chickens, big ducks… no big, naughty animals!”
Upon hearing that name, Li Sixin knew what the thing behind his eyes was. He had heard it by its nickname many times before, but he had never seen the real thing, so he knew it was up and down.
"We'll find out when we get there," Xu An thought, and didn't ask any further questions.
"Secretary Li, why are those poultry and livestock being raised near the school? It's less smelly, and since no one passes by, their noise won't disturb the children during recess!" Xu An asked, puzzled.
Upon seeing the large animals, several cheerful children rushed over to some tattered baskets and pulled out a small handful of edible vegetable leaves to distribute to everyone. Even Xu An, Xu Heping, and others received two leaves each...
At that moment, a gust of wind blew by, carrying not only the fresh scent of grass and trees, but also the indescribable stench of animal droppings, causing Xu An and his companions to sneeze several times. The others, however, seemed to have long been accustomed to it, continuing on their way, talking, or doing whatever they were doing, completely unaffected by the smell.
That......
Upon hearing this, the previously quiet children immediately ran off, as if the silence just moments before was merely their imagination.
"Hmm..." The law enforcement officer nodded, then shook his head again: "Weak is still weak."
"Is that stuff not very toxic?" Li Sixin asked with some difficulty.
"Secretary Li, school hasn't even started yet, so why are livestock still being kept outside the school? Won't that affect the children's break time?" Ni Cong asked while drinking his brown rice porridge.
Poison jar!
That thing malfunctioned a few times in the past, and each time it meant that someone's contracted fishpond was completely wiped out, not that someone's farmland suffered a total crop failure overnight...
"Come over there, those nasty big animals aren't kept outside anymore!"
“Zimei is so bad…” Xu Kangxu seemed to have guessed what Xu An was thinking at the moment, and laughed: “Back then, you walked ten or four miles a day to go to school, and there were so many people who could go to school because their families paid for their lunch; before that university opened, there were almost no children who dropped out of school.”
It was that thing!
Xu Kang suddenly sighed, as if some deep wound had been reopened, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"That school was established through the efforts of several villages, and that building was originally intended to be our village's office, but it was vacated to make way for the school. The teachers working outside the school are also teachers from other schools who take turns teaching there, in exchange for the livestock..."
Upon hearing this, the older boys all nodded in agreement. They agreed that they wouldn't be able to go to school once the chili peppers were planted, and that they could go to school once the potatoes outside were sold...
Houhai Town Police Station.
Before the group arrived, the large animals were leisurely eating and playing. Now, seeing such a group of people coming, they all started shouting, and the sound was still loud.
Just when Xu An thought it was a purchasing station or some other public building, Xu Kang blurted out, "That building in the back isn't the Eighth University of Hongshan Town."
Xu An, who was walking at the front, even saw several teachers walking out of the school classroom. He peeked over and seemed to see Xu Kang and Xu Qian returning to the classroom.
"Wow! Can't you go to the school to see those big animals?!" The two big guys' eyes lit up instantly when they heard that, and they asked with longing.
Are they being raised for the teacher?
Ni Congyan led the group across the flat yellow earth behind the school building to the right side of the building, where they saw two stone-built pigsties and sheep pens, and next to them eight chicken, duck and goose pens enclosed by bamboo.
Really not?

Ni Cong understood what was going on when he saw that look, and a bit of mischievous curiosity arose in his heart. He thought for two seconds and then nodded.
