"Brother Li."
Gong Linglong was just strolling down the street when she ran into Li Chong. She walked towards him and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Li Chong, carrying a small suitcase on his shoulder, was standing by the roadside reading a notice on the bulletin board. He smiled when he saw her: "I just passed by here after get off work. Where are you going?"
"I'm just strolling around."
Gong Linglong pulled a candied orange out of her pocket and handed it to him. She glanced at the notice he had just read, which was the penalty notice posted by the Public Security Bureau this morning. She didn't discuss the matter, but looked at the box he was carrying and raised an eyebrow. "Is this... a veterinary box?"
"Yes, I'm a veterinarian apprentice on a pig farm."
Gong Linglong was slightly surprised: "Are you a veterinary apprentice?"
Li Chong had seen this expression on her face many times before, and he couldn't help but laugh: "I don't like the job my grandfather found for me at all, but there's nothing I can do. If I don't go, I'll have to go to the countryside as an educated youth."
The educated youth sent to the countryside was also a characteristic of this era.
There were also educated youth who came to Niujiaowan Brigade to work in the countryside. Except for a few who returned to the city due to some connections in their families, the others all got married and had children locally, and became authentic rural people.
Gong Linglong also knew that there were limited jobs in the city and not all city residents had formal jobs, so she didn't discuss the topic with him. Instead, she asked, "You just said you work on a pig farm?"
"Yes, the Dongshan pig farm in the south." Li Chong pointed in the direction.
Gong Linglong didn't know much about Tancheng yet. She wanted to buy some piglets, so she immediately asked him, "Brother Li, does your pig farm raise pigs or breed pigs? Do you have piglets for sale?"
"Dongshan Pig Farm is the only breeding pig farm in Tancheng, specializing in the supply of piglets."
Li Chong told her, then asked, "Why are you asking this? Do you want piglets?"
It's like giving me a pillow when I feel sleepy.
What good luck! Just when I wanted piglets, the supplier came.
Gong Linglong smiled inwardly and lied calmly, "There's a production team in the commune below Yang County that wants to buy piglets. I went back a few days ago to deal with the Bai Gouzha family. They asked me to help them find out about the piglets in Tancheng. I was just looking around, just wanting to ask someone."
"Then you've come to the right person." Li Chong smiled and asked her, "How much do you want?"
"Twenty, is there?"
"have."
There are nearly a hundred sows in Dongshan Pig Farm, and each sow gives birth to an average of ten piglets, with twenty being a small number.
Li Chong asked her directly: "When do you want it?"
"Is tomorrow okay?"
"Okay, I'll help you choose tomorrow morning." Li Chong agreed without hesitation and quoted her the price.
Gong Linglong was very straightforward. She gave him the money on the spot and also gave him five dollars as travel expenses.
"Brother Li, please help me find a place to put the piglets. I'll tell them to come pick them up with a tractor tomorrow."
Li Chong took a pen and paper from the box and wrote down an address for her. "I'm on the commuter shift tomorrow. I'll arrange for someone to deliver the goods to this location at nine o'clock. You can come and watch over them yourself. We're very busy over there and can't arrange for anyone to help you watch over the piglets."
"Okay, I'll guard it myself." Gong Linglong was thinking this.
The two chatted for a few minutes and then parted ways. Thinking about starting to raise piglets tomorrow, Gong Linglong hurried around in the afternoon looking for old wooden boards to make fences and pig troughs. She also picked up some stones to build a simple stove.
After everything was done, the mother and daughter returned to the Song family together.
Shortly after arriving home and before she had time to cook dinner, Zhou Lanping came back. Bai Shuixian quickly stood up and asked, "Sister Ping, why are you off work so early today?"
"It's not time to get off work yet. I came back to inform you of something. I have to go back to the office after I finish speaking."
Zhou Lanping entered the house without changing her shoes. She spoke to the mother and daughter at the doorway, "Sister, Linglong, Bai Jianren died at the press conference this morning. His eldest brother and his wife are unwilling to collect his body and handle his funeral. Qin Menglan has been sent to the farm. The Public Security Bureau notified the Qin family to take over the matter, but they are shameless and have asked you, mother and daughter, to handle it."
"The Qin family is deliberately disgusting us." Gong Linglong gritted her teeth.
Zhou Lanping nodded and asked her, "Linglong, how do you want to deal with this matter?"
"They disgust me, so naturally I have to disgust them back."
Gong Linglong took off the apron she had just put on and said to the elders, "Aunt, go and do your thing. I'm going to disgust the Qin family and show their neighbors their disgusting faces."
"Okay, go ahead."
Zhou Lanping had seen her eloquence before, and she was afraid that the Qin family was no match for her. She was looking forward to her performance and said to Bai Shuixian, "Sister, don't go. Rest at home. Linglong can go alone."
"Okay, I'll cook at home and wait for you to come back for dinner."
Bai Shuixian also believed in her daughter's fighting ability. If she took action, she would definitely make the Qin family so angry that they would vomit blood.
The Qin family was not far from her aunt's house. Gong Linglong carried a wooden stick and rushed to the Qin family to seek revenge.
Today is a dark day for the Qin family. Zhao Yusu committed suicide out of fear of punishment, Qin Menglan was exiled to a farm for committing a crime, and although other members of the Qin family who were under investigation were sent back home, they were all suspended from their jobs.
At this time, the Qin family's door was closed, Zhao Yusu's body was placed in the middle of the living room, and a circle of younger generations knelt in the room to pay tribute.
Qin Dechun's hair turned white overnight. With the series of events that happened recently, his body could no longer bear it as he was getting older. He was currently resting on the sofa in the living room.
"Mr. Qin, open the door."
The clear voice penetrated into the house, and the Qin family members who were in grief were all startled.
Qin Dechun had closed his eyes, lost in thought. He was familiar with the voice, and instinctively knew she was up to no good. With a weary look on his face, he instructed his eldest son, "Xiangnan, go check it out."
Qin Xiangnan stood up and slowly walked out to open the door.
When the door opened, Gong Linglong was seen standing outside the yard, holding a wooden stick in her hand, her face full of anger. The neighbors on both sides opened their doors and came out, frowning and asking, "What are you doing here?"
"You are Qin Menglan's elder brother, don't you know what I am doing here?"
Gong Linglong banged on the courtyard door with a stick and shouted, "That bitch Qin Menglan did something shameless and immoral. I only bothered her before, not your Qin family. Now that she has received retribution, I didn't intend to bother you, the Qin family, or lecture you about your lack of manners. But you still come to pick on us and deliberately disgust us. Do you really think that we, mother and daughter, are vegetarians and soft persimmons that can be squeezed at will?"
Being accused by her in front of the neighbors, Qin Xiangnan's face turned black as ink: "We are having a funeral today, no one has left the house, and no one has bothered you."
"You said there is no, right?"
"Just now, the leader of the Public Security Bureau came to see us in person. Do you dare to go to the Public Security Bureau with me now and confront him in front of him?"
