Lu Chaoli looked at Zhou Guoqing with a smile.

Zhou Guoqing was stunned, as if he didn't expect Lu Chaoli to stop and talk to him.

Thinking of Lu Chaoli's arrogance, Zhou Guoqing quickly concealed the hostility in his eyes.

“No, no!”

Zhou Guoqing quickly shook his head. His hand still hurts!

"Then whenever Comrade Xiao Zhou wants to practice, feel free to find me. I'll accompany you to the end."

As Lu Chaoli spoke, he punched Zhou Guoqing on the chest. Zhou Guoqing's thin body instantly took two steps back, and he tried hard to hold back from groaning.

Seeing this, Lu Chaoli looked down at his fist and muttered, "I didn't use much strength."

Zhou Guoqing: “…”

His face turned even darker! "Chao Li, I heard you have something to ask me?"

After the village chief arrived at the field, he called out to Lu Chaoli. Lu Chaoli didn't say anything more to Zhou Guoqing, but picked up his hoe and ran towards the village chief.

Zhou Guoqing waited until Lu Chaoli walked away before he raised his hand and rubbed his chest. It hurt so much!

Zhou Guoqing glared at Lu Chaoli hatefully, then picked up the hoe and started working like a madman, swinging the hoe with a lot more strength as if he wanted to prove something.

"The village chief is here."

Lu Chaoli ran to the village chief in one breath.

"What do you want from me? Why didn't you come to my house to look for me just now?"

"Village Chief, I plan to expand the pig farm."

Lu Chaoli explained his purpose.

"Expanding the pig farm? That's a good thing! Good boy, it seems that your pig farm is getting bigger and bigger after being handed over to you!"

The village chief looked at Lu Chaoli with a smile. As the head of the village, he felt a little proud.

"Thank you for the compliment, Village Chief. I am still uncertain about how things will develop in the future. Right now, there is something I need to discuss with you."

The village chief stroked his beard and immediately guessed Lu Chaoli's purpose when he learned that he wanted to expand the pig farm.

"We need some manpower, right?"

"Yes, I have already informed the brick kiln. Whether it is transporting bricks or building a pig farm, we need manpower."

The brick kiln can help transport bricks, but it requires a running fee. If you want to build a pig farm, you also need to find people. Lu Chaoli thought that instead of letting others make the money, it would be better to call on the villagers in the village. As the saying goes, good things should be kept in the family.

However, the villagers were all working in the fields to earn work points, and expanding the pig farm would require a lot of manpower. Lu Chaoli had to say hello to the village chief first, and only after the village chief agreed could he take the people away.

“How many people are needed?”

"Including me, Hu Zi and others, we will probably need more than twenty people."

Lu Chaoli roughly estimated the number of people needed to expand the pig farm and reported the number to the village chief.

The village chief nodded and said, "Okay, find some young and strong people to help you carry bricks and build the pig farm. Even with a dozen less people, we can still finish the work in the fields."

It has to be said that Lu Chaoli's expansion of the pig farm just solved a troublesome problem for the village chief and villagers.

A few days ago, the village chief estimated how long it would take to finish all the work in the fields based on the current progress, and found that all the work in the fields could be completed before winter comes.

At that time, the villagers will have some free time in their work. If they want to make money, they have to find work elsewhere. It will take a lot of effort just to walk back and forth on the mountain road.

The village chief has been worrying about this matter these days. Now it happens that Lu Chaoli needs manpower to expand the pig farm. If he removes a dozen young and strong men, the remaining work can be done by other villagers for a longer period of time.

"Thank you, Village Chief!"

After thanking the village chief, Lu Chaoli ran to the field to call for help.

After hearing that Lu Chaoli needed manpower to expand the pig farm, many young and strong men volunteered.

Working in a pig farm can earn them much more money than earning work points in the fields!

Although the work is tiring, they are not afraid as long as they can make more money! A dozen men said hello to the village chief and left with Lu Chaoli. Tiezhu and Huzi, who followed secretly, turned around and ran when they saw Lu Chaoli walking towards them! The two figures jumped like monkeys, and it was hard for Lu Chaoli not to notice them. He put his hand to his mouth and shouted at the two figures in front of him.

"Huzi, Tiezhu, both of you stop right there!"

Hu Zi and Tie Zhu pretended not to hear and ran forward as fast as they could!

Seeing this, Lu Chaoli gritted his teeth and followed. As a retired soldier, Lu Chaoli ran as fast as a mad dog and soon closed the distance between him and Hu Zi and Tie Zhu.

"Tiezhu, Huzi, both of you stop right there!"

Hearing the sound getting closer, Hu Zi and Tie Zhu looked at each other and were about to run away when they heard their boss's voice from behind.

"three--"

"two--"

"Boss, we were wrong!"

Without waiting for Lu Chaoli to shout, Tiezhu and Huzi stopped immediately, raised their hands above their heads and turned to look at Lu Chaoli.

Lu Chaoli came up to the two of them with a few big strides. He hooked his hands around their necks and squinted at them: "Haha, you two are quite capable. You have both learned how to track people!"

"Boss, we were wrong! We won't do it again! Please forgive us this time!"

Tiezhu and Huzi quickly begged Lu Chaoli for mercy.

"Whose idea was it?"

Although Lu Chaoli was asking questions, his eyes fell on Tiezhu's face while speaking.

Tiezhu's back stiffened, and he raised his hand angrily: "I, I paid for it."

Bang! Lu Chaoli slapped the iron pillar on the head with a slap: "You've become more capable, right?"

Tiezhu quickly hugged his head, raised his eyelids and looked at his boss carefully: "Boss, don't be angry, I promise this is the last time!"

"I promise too!"

After Tiezhu finished speaking, Huzi quickly followed suit.

"If you don't believe me, I swear now that if I follow you again, I will be punished by God..."

"Okay, I hope you won't dare to do it again next time. We have already found the manpower. Go check out the site later. Tomorrow we will start transporting bricks from the brick kiln to build a new pig farm!"

"Boss is awesome!"

Huzi and Tiezhu turned into little fans and raised their fists high.

"Okay, stop flattering me. I don't need to remind you what to say and what not to say, right?"

Tiezhu and Huzi looked at each other, knew what the boss was talking about, and patted their chests.

"Don't worry, Boss. We promise not to tell anyone except us brothers!"

Hu Zi and Tie Zhu looked serious. Usually they would discuss everything together as brothers. There were some things they hadn't even told their parents and wives.

"That's more like it."

Lu Chaoli glanced at the two of them, then released his hands from around their necks.

Hu Zi and Tie Zhu stood on both sides of Lu Chaoli and looked at him with a flattering look.

"Boss, who was that female comrade just now?"
