Chapter 681

Dong Village

This is a village located in a mountainous area.

In this era, mountainous areas can be directly equated with poverty.

Low grain yields, inconvenient transportation, poor infrastructure...

It's hard for every household to save up much money after a year of hard work.

When Cao Weiguo pedaled his tricycle into the village for procurement,

the degree of his welcome can be imagined.

Upon receiving notice from the brigade, the villagers brought chickens and ducks to his door one after another.

Also, because it was located in a mountainous area, the local villagers naturally relied on the mountains for their livelihood.

This allowed Cao Weiguo to receive many good things.

Golden pheasants, colorful mountain pheasants, hares, long-tailed ducks...

There was even a little mute boy who brought over two wolf cubs.

"Dashan! You're too bold!"

"Going into the mountains is one thing, but you even dared to raid a wolf den."

"Aren't you afraid the wolf mom and dad will come looking for their children!"

The villagers were also extremely surprised to see the two wolf cubs.

Cao Weiguo's eyes lit up as he looked at the two little wolf cubs:

"I'll take these wolf cubs."

"How about four yuan each?"

The little mute boy, Dong Dashan, nodded happily again and again.

The nearby villagers gasped in envy.

Eight yuan is enough to buy enough cornmeal for the family to eat for several months.

Cao Weiguo took out the money on the spot and handed it to Dong Dashan.

Dong Shaohe, the captain's nephew, turned red with envy looking at the bills.

Because he knew the situation in the village, the village chief walked over and took the money from Dong Dashan:

"Dashan, it's not safe for you to hold so much money."

"I'll keep it for you."

"Whenever you need money, come and ask me."

Dong Dashan had always been taken care of by the village chief.

He handed the money to the village chief with a smile.

This left many people who were eyeing Dong Dashan and hoping to get a piece of the action feeling very frustrated.

Cao Weiguo had lunch at Dong Village and paid the money and coupons as usual.

Afterward, he asked the village chief to find villagers to help transport the goods to Qin Village by donkey cart and horse cart.

Of course, this help wasn't for free; everyone got a one-yuan hardship allowance.

This made the villagers of Dong Village fight to help run errands.

"Your name is Dashan, right?"

"You come along."

"When you get there, hand this list to a female comrade named Qin Jingru."

Dong Dashan looked at Cao Weiguo in surprise, then nodded excitedly.

Dong Shaohe ran over eagerly: "Director Cao, I can do this job too!"

The village chief scolded with a straight face: "Shaohe, what kind of trouble are you causing! Go do what you're supposed to do!"

Cao Weiguo asking Dong Dashan to run errands was clearly to take care of the lonely and helpless Dong Dashan.

For Dong Shaohe to run out and snatch the job at this time was simply a disgrace to Dong Village.

Cao Weiguo smiled: "Thank you, little comrade, I've already asked Dashan, I'll ask you for help next time."

Dong Shaohe glared at Dong Dashan and turned away unhappily.

After arranging things in Dong Village, Cao Weiguo left on his tricycle.

The cargo bed was filled with live animals like wolf cubs, pheasants, and hares.

After pedaling for ten minutes, he arrived at a deserted place.

Cao Weiguo sent all these live animals into the farm in one go.

The farm's unique environment would allow them to thrive and multiply.

Chickens lay eggs, eggs hatch chickens... endless and inexhaustible.

Looking back at Dong Village, Cao Weiguo pedaled his tricycle and left leisurely.

Dong Village, Dong Dashan, Dong Shaohe... interesting.

After leaving Dong Village, Cao Weiguo went to several nearby villages.

He procured some chickens, ducks, and game as usual, and loaded the live animals onto the tricycle.

He asked local villagers to run errands and deliver other things to Qin Village.

Qin Village

The villagers were envious seeing cart after cart arrive.

Qin Jingru checked and received the goods like a landlady.

Although it was tiring, she was happy in her heart.
