"Awooo! A herd of wild boars really fell from the sky..."
"Everyone, hurry up and get the meat..."
"So much, so much, so much wild boar meat..."
When they arrived at the riverbank, many people had already come running after hearing the children's shouts. After the villagers heard clearly, they looked at each other, feeling as if they were dreaming.
They couldn't help but tug at the child, asking carefully, "Shuiwa, say it again! Did the pork really fall from the sky?"
Shuiwa is the eldest of the Ke family's children who didn't go to school. At six years old, he's incredibly capable and a little village bully.
Upon seeing dozens of adults gathered around, his dark eyes lit up with a pretentious cough, mimicking a storyteller on a tape recorder: "You ask me why the wild boar fell from the sky? This story begins with my Aunt Yu preparing for my Uncle Yuan's wedding..."
"That rabbit provoked us brothers like that, how could we just sit there like cowards? Of course not! I'm remembering what my grandpa said: This is New Xiahua, where demons and monsters don't dare to become spirits. What's there to be afraid of in broad daylight?"
"Besides, my father and several uncles lived not far away, so I rolled up my sleeves, rallied my brothers, and we chased after them..."
"Good heavens, we looked up and guess what?"
Attracted by the child's startled words, everyone held their breath and shook their heads, urging him to stop keeping them in suspense.
"The wild boars are all stuck between the bamboo groves, too exhausted to even grunt!"
After he finished speaking, the children cooperated by clutching their stomachs and bursting into laughter.
"Thirty-seven wild boars in total!"
The villagers were stunned again. The more they listened, the more confused they became. Could it be that the children were just playing a trick on them?
Regardless, the villagers went home with some doubt to get their belongings, then notified their neighbors, and together they headed to the cemetery.
As they approached, they saw Ke Yuansui pacing back and forth.
"Hurry up!" These three words, spoken with a hint of urgency and excitement, were enough to make the villagers' eyes light up and their feet quicken to catch up.
This time, dozens of villagers also joined in looking up at the wild boar herd.
"Oh my goodness, wild boar meat really did fall from the sky!"
"I knew the wolves howled all night last night, because they chased a herd of wild boars so hard they fell off a cliff..."
"Tsk tsk, who could hear a wild boar squealing in the middle of the night? If the Ke family hadn't discovered it, the wild boar meat would have been ruined by crows and vultures..."
At this moment, everyone truly believed that Ke Meiyu was indeed a lucky charm, getting whatever she wanted!
Luofeng Village was once again filled with jubilation, having invited almost every butcher in the surrounding area.
Since there had already been a distribution of pork, they handed over half of the pork this time, and the whole village agreed to let Qin Yuanjiu help with the distribution of the rest.
Eighteen and a half wild boars weigh over 4,500 jin (approximately 2,250 kg). As the weather gets colder, the price of meat is gradually rising, not to mention the difficulty in hunting wild boar meat.
Everyone looked at Qin Yuanjiu with eager anticipation.
Ke Meiyu also sidled up to him, looking at him curiously.
"Comrade Qin, you come from a big city, you are knowledgeable and capable, we all believe in you!" the village chief said on behalf of everyone.
Qin Yuanjiu glanced at everyone, then nodded with a light laugh: "Then I'll tell you?"
"Speak up, speak up, Xiao Qin. You're our son-in-law from Luofeng Village, so you're family. What can't you say?"
Besides, if the Ke family secretly consumed the pork, no one else would notice anything.
Because of the Ke family's magnanimity, everyone genuinely likes and admires the helmsman, Mr. and Mrs. Ke, as well as this group of kind-hearted young men and women.
“Our village has nearly 900 residents. Every resident, regardless of age, is allocated land. However, only half of us are able-bodied, so the amount of land we can manage is limited.”
"Moreover, the yield per mu of grain is not high."
"To ensure that every household can have enough to eat, we need to work on these two aspects."
"We lack the capability to address the latter, so we won't consider it for now, but there is hope for change in the former!"
Everyone was taken aback and couldn't help but ask all at once, "Comrade Qin, how can we change things? We only have so many people, how much work can we do?"
"Once the canal is completed, irrigation will be easier next year, but cultivating the land and letting it rest is too time-consuming and laborious, and can wear people out..."
"Wait a minute, Comrade Qin, we're discussing the disposal of pork right now, why are you bringing up planting? Is there any connection between the two?"
They discussed it for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution.
After the village chief called a halt, everyone focused their attention back on Qin Yuanjiu.
"Was making bricks easier this time?" Qin Yuanjiu didn't continue the topic, but instead brought up the matter of making bricks again.
The young men were the most qualified to speak, and they nodded in agreement, still excitedly saying, "Brother Jiu, it saves so much effort, it really saves so much effort!"
"You've borrowed so many large machines from the machinery factory, creating an assembly line operation from soil extraction to transportation, mixing, and conveying. How can that not save you effort?"
"Based on this situation, we estimate that before the busy farming season, we will not only be able to build sheds for poultry and livestock, but also fire the bricks and tiles needed to build houses throughout the entire village!"
At this point, someone suddenly realized, "Comrade Qin wants to use large machinery to help us with farming?"
"We hear loudspeakers all day long, saying that people in Country E all have mechanized farming, and one person can harvest an acre of land in just a few chugs of a tractor..."
Everyone felt a sense of sudden enlightenment, yet also disbelief, and could only look at Qin Yuanjiu with even greater eagerness.
