Chapter 97: Return to Village

Shangti Village

Cao Cao Weiguo rode his bicycle, Song Song Yulan sat on the back seat and hugged his waist.

The couple attracted much attention as soon as they entered the village, drawing the attention of many fellow villagers.

Especially the things hanging on the handlebars, which made people jealous and greedy.

A large piece of red and bright cured meat.

A net bag of salted duck eggs.

And a large bag of big and red apples.

When has the village ever seen so many rare good things.

"Uncle Dajiang!"

"Song Yulan is back! Is this your man, he looks so handsome!"

"Hello, Uncle Dajiang!"

"Good good!"

Soon someone recognized Song Song Yulan, and Song Song Yulan also greeted along the way.

Cao Cao Weiguo couldn't ride the bike anymore, so he got off and pushed it towards his father-in-law's house.

Song Song Yulan greeted along the way, and he also kept smiling and saying hello.

Song is a big surname in Shangti Village, and anyone with the surname Song is somewhat related.

"That is Song Yulan's man, he is really amazing!"

"That bicycle is really new and bright!"

"I heard he is a cadre, the one who manages money!"

"The Dashan family has climbed a high branch!"

"Look at those big apples, good things that money can't buy!"

"Such big apples, one costs several mao!"

"Isn't that more expensive than meat!"

"Meat is not as sweet as it!"

"Have you eaten it?"

"I don't have that luck!"

The fellow villagers in the village were lively, chatting in groups of three or five.

The tone could not hide the envy and exclamation.

In this era, how many people can't get enough to eat, let alone eat meat and apples.

Ordinary apples can be bought on the market, but red and big apples are definitely hard to buy with money.

The women in the village, especially those of the same age as Song Song Yulan, were sour with envy.

They were all playmates who grew up together, how could their fate be so different.

Look at how long Song Song Yulan has been married, she wears well and eats well.

Her skin has become much whiter, and her figure has become fatter, one look and you know she is enjoying happiness.

The couple arrived at the place, and the Song Dashan family was already welcoming at the door.

"Dad!"

"Dad, why did you come out."

Cao Cao Weiguo pushed the bicycle and stepped forward quickly, this father-in-law is too polite.

Song Dashan said with a face full of smiles, "I heard from Brother Huzi that you are back, so I came out to see. Don't stand outside, come in and sit."

Welcomed into the house by his father-in-law's family, Cao Cao Weiguo handed the things to his brother-in-law.

Song Dashan said, "The things brought back a few days ago haven't been finished yet, why bring so much again, don't do this next time, no matter how much money you have, you have to save it."

Cao Cao Weiguo smiled, "Alright, I listen to you."

The mother-in-law and sister-in-law happily took the cured meat and salted duck eggs.

Song Ying and Song He Yuzhu stared at the red big apples without blinking.

"Alright, drool is about to come out!"

Song Song Yulan smiled and took two apples from the net bag.

"Eat!"

The third brother and fourth sister each took an apple and jumped up happily.

Third brother: "Thank you, second sister!"

Fourth sister: "Second sister! You are too good!"

Father-in-law Song Dashan said with a straight face, "Don't thank your brother-in-law."

Third brother and fourth sister blushed, "Thank you, brother-in-law."

Cao Cao Weiguo said with a smile, "You're welcome, wash them before eating."

Song He Yuzhu ran out impatiently, "I'll go wash them right away!"

Cao Cao Weiguo took out a few more apples and handed them to Song Ying, "Wash more, let's eat together."

Song Ying nodded happily, "Hmm!"

The family sat in the room chatting, and soon the washed apples arrived in the room.

The mother-in-law held the apple and was reluctant to eat it, "I heard that such an apple can be sold for a catty of meat."

Cao Cao Weiguo said with a smile, "It's all exaggeration, this apple is not that expensive."

Song He Yuzhu cheered in surprise, "Really sweet! Too delicious!"

17-year-old Song Ying also started to eat, the taste he had never tasted before surprised him.

This is an apple!

Crispy and sweet!

After lunch, village head Song Dajiang came over.

Cao Cao Weiguo bluffed Song Dajiang for a while.

Song Dajiang said, "Director Cao, we can't get pork, but our village can get pheasants and fish."

Cao Cao Weiguo's eyes lit up, "Pheasants, are there any alive now."

Song Dajiang said hurriedly, "Yes, a few days ago our village's Erniu caught one."

Cao Cao Weiguo followed Song Dajiang to Erniu's house.

That pheasant was slightly smaller than a domestic chicken, with a much longer tail, gorgeous feather color, a black horizontal band on the neck, extending to the side of the neck and connecting with the black of the throat, and had a green metallic luster.

Cao Cao Weiguo said happily, "This is good stuff!"

Pheasant appearance is beautiful, chicken meat is firm and tender, taste is delicious and nutritious.

In this era, wild game that can be killed at will will be listed as wild protected animals in the future.

Cao Cao Weiguo has always wanted to improve the utilization value of the portable farm.

The portable farm is a blessed land, animals and plants are free from disease and disaster in it, and it is easy to multiply.

Compared with raising ordinary common livestock and poultry, the income from raising wild protected animals will be higher.

If there is a chance, he really wants to put sika deer, Tibetan antelope, knife fish, Chinese sturgeon... into the farm to multiply.

Not only can he make a fortune, but he can also protect and save precious and endangered wild animals.

Cao Cao Weiguo said excitedly, "Village head, this pheasant is good stuff. If the fellow villagers in the village are willing to sell, I will collect them for one Brother Yuan each, as many as there are. If it is alive, I will add five mao."

Song Dajiang said in surprise, "So much money!"

Erniu said in surprise, "Director Cao, do you want this one of mine."

One Brother Yuan can buy a lot of food.

The key is that this pheasant is not uncommon in the mountains and fields.

Catching one and exchanging it for one Brother Yuan is a great thing!

Cao Cao Weiguo said with a face full of smiles, "Of course I want it, if Erniu brother is willing to give it to me, I will pay immediately."

Erniu said happily, "Willing! Too willing!"

Cao Cao Weiguo took out one Brother Yuan and five mao and gave it to Erniu.

Erniu happily caught the pheasant and handed it to Cao Cao Weiguo.

Song Dajiang asked eagerly, "Director Cao, besides pheasants, do you collect other things? Our village has a lot of dried sweet potatoes, vermicelli..."

Cao Cao Weiguo said in a dilemma, "Village head, our procurement of supplies is also divided into areas. Cross-district procurement has a long distance, high cost, and affects the procurement of other units, which is really inconvenient."

Song Dajiang said anxiously, "I know this is a bit of a strong man's difficulty, but the village is really too difficult."

"Cao Weiguo, you are the son-in-law of Shangti Village. If you can help the village, the fellow villagers will remember your kindness."
