The two looked at each other and smiled.
Because the piglets are still small, everyone has to wait ten days until they have adapted to their environment before they can take them back.
As a result, this peculiar scene has been unfolding in the family compound for the past few days.
Several families are repairing pigsties and clearing land to plant sweet potatoes; everyone is busy and happy.
However, compared to before when the women only knew how to gossip, now there is a rather thriving scene.
Even when Lu Jingnian came back, he said that things were good as they were.
Because more people are now farming, the demand for fresh water has increased, so Lu Jingnian arranged for someone to dig a well in the family compound.
Xiang Wanwan had originally planned to set up a device to collect fresh water, but she hadn't had time to improve it. Now that Lu Jingnian had a well dug, the matter of collecting fresh water has been temporarily put on hold.
People were unwilling to even grow vegetables before, so if they were to start growing rice right away, they might be even less willing.
We have to take it one step at a time.
Now, because of pig farming, many families have started growing sweet potatoes and vegetables.
Once more people have planted crops and everyone has gotten used to the work, then we can plant rice and corn, proceeding step by step.
By then, the island will be able to achieve self-sufficiency and will no longer need to rely on external supplies.
Moreover, the supplies have been decreasing every month for the past six months, and we don't know if they will be stopped one day due to external unrest.
Ten days later.
The piglets have grown quite a bit since they were born.
Nourished by the spiritual spring water, the piglets, which were only ten days old, looked as if they had grown for a month.
Everyone who saw it was amazed.
"It's still the same pig that Comrade Xiang raises. This little pig has grown so much in just a few days."
"That's right, this size will make it easier for us to handle when we get back."
Xiang Wanwan showed the piglets to everyone, and then patiently explained the techniques for raising pigs.
The group had all been very busy these past few days, and now that they had finally managed to get together, they started chatting about the island's gossip.
“Let me tell you, you know Granny Chen, right? She beat her own daughter-in-law so badly that she miscarried, and now her daughter-in-law has run away.”
"Ran away? Surrounded by the sea on all sides, where could they have run to?"
"They said it was following the supply ships."
"I think it's because Granny Chen is too domineering. Her son is quite good, but with a mother like that, he might have a hard time finding a wife in the future."
······
While serving everyone piglets, Xiang Wanwan listened to their conversation.
Granny Chen is the one who tried to steal the wild chrysanthemum from her last time; her son seems to be a second lieutenant.
Last time, her daughter-in-law stole her gold, and she caught her red-handed and gave her a good beating. In the end, she also lost the baby in her belly.
I never expected that my wife would run away too.
Granny Chen and Xiang Shuxue are a perfect match; it would be interesting if they were to become a family.
Xiang Wanwan's big eyes darted around as she made up her mind.
"Sister-in-law, is Granny Chen still trying to find a wife for her son?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Sun immediately replied, "That's right. These past few days she's been asking around everywhere, saying she wants to find her son a new one, one that will definitely be better than the last one."
It's like someone just throws a pillow at you when you're sleepy.
Xiang Shuxue and that lieutenant are a perfect match, and with Granny Chen on the side, this family is so happy!
She had to find a way to get Granny Chen's attention to Xiang Shuxue.
Once Granny Chen sets her sights on him, Xiang Shuxue probably won't have time to make a move on Lu Jingnian.
She's determined to be the matchmaker! (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
