?Chapter 47: 47 Jaw dropped Chapter 47: 47 Jaw dropped Lin Qingshan chuckled softly, tucked Ning Xinrou in properly, and jumped straight off the kang bed.
He sat down beside Goudan’s bed.
Lin Qingshan reached out and gently flicked his son’s forehead, tucking in the corners of the blanket for the boy.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“What do you mean you only care about your sister?”
“Not to mention there isn’t a sister yet, but even if there were, would you and Choudan cease to be my sons?”
“Regardless of how many children your mother and I have, you’d all be our treasures…”
Perhaps it was the calmness of the night that made it easier to utter such embarrassingly sweet words.
Ning Xinrou heard her husband’s rarely spoken tender words, poked her head out of the blankets, and her eyes twinkled with a soft light.
Looking at her husband and child, the emaciated contours of her face faintly showed her past grace and elegance.
Upon hearing Lin Qingshan’s words, Goudan chuckled softly.
He turned over, extended his hand out of the blanket, and gently grasped Lin Qingshan’s hand.
Blushing, he asked, “Dad, can you lull me to sleep?”
Goudan rarely ever acted so coquettishly.
Lin Qingshan’s heart softened and he said, “Alright, close your eyes quickly, and I’ll tell you a story. But then you must fall asleep.”
Goudan nodded, his white teeth gleaming.
“Mhm, mhm.”
Having said this, he obediently closed his eyes.
–
In another room.
Lin Tang stroked the new clothes she wore, her smile never leaving her eyes.
In that world, her face had been ruined, leaving her with no desire to dress up.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t repair it, she simply didn’t want to.
Now that she was back, her face was unscathed, and beautiful as ever.
That certainly sparked her vanity.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have made the moisturizing cream, right?
After delighting in her appearance for a while, Lin Tang undressed and crawled into the blankets.
She planned to take a nap first, then sign in at midnight.
She had good intentions, but when Lin Tang woke up again it was already 6 a.m. the following day.
She opened her eyes to see daylight breaking.
“Tongzi, sign in.”
After speaking, she eagerly looked at the system panel.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining pig castration tools and several infection prevention vaccine patches!]
“Yikes, that’s rather graphic!”, laughed Lin Tang in jest, then praised, “But, what I received is exactly what I needed.”
And the infection prevention vaccine patches are great as well.
Latter, she would castrate those three piglets.
“Tongzi, how effective is this infection prevention vaccine patch? What’s the probability of preventing infections?”
If it’s only fifty-fifty, then she might as well make her own!
[There is a hundred percent no harm, please feel assured in its use.
With this vaccine patch, the pig’s resistance will improve, preventing sickness and helping the pig fatten up better.]
It’s not like those fake and inferior products, okay?
High-tech, get to know it!
“That powerful? Not bad at all, I like this reward.” Lin Tang complimented.
The key point is it saves trouble!
[A temporary task is issued: Become a Textile Factory worker within one month. Does the host accept?]
Lin Tang raised an eyebrow, “What’s the reward? And what if I don’t complete it? It’s not going to annihilate me, is it?”
System: “…”
Annihilation? The host sure has some imagination!
[The reward is a sewing machine ticket.
The host may choose not to accept the task, and there will be no impact; if you accept and complete the task, you will receive the reward, but failure will result in the deduction of points equivalent to the value. Please decide carefully!]
Lin Tang’s eyes flickered slightly as she responded, “I accept.”
A job at the Textile Factory? No big deal.
[The host accepts the system task to become a Textile Factory worker within one month. Please be mindful of the task completion deadline.]
“No worries, that I won’t forget!”
“Tongzi, open the system panel.”
In an instant, a transparent panel appeared before her eyes.
[Name: Lin Tang]
[Age: 16]
[Gender: Female]
[Points: 125]
[System Space Stored Items: A pack of noodles, three toothbrushes, twenty kilograms of white flour, forty kilograms of coarse grain, 2 kilograms of oil.]
[Task: Become a worker at the Cotton Textile Factory within one month.
Task Reward: A sewing machine ticket.
Task Status: Incomplete.]
When Lin Tang saw the toothbrushes in the space, she slapped her forehead in annoyance.
She always remembered to change her toothbrush but always forgot.
Fearing she would forget again, she immediately took out all three toothbrushes.
She would keep one toothbrush for herself and give the remaining two to her parents. Sear?h the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Her parents’ toothbrushes were frayed, and they were even reluctant to replace something that cost a few cents.
After taking out the toothbrushes, Lin Tang casually picked up the pig castration tool she had just obtained from signing in.
She thought about it and for a moment didn’t know whether to tell her family about the pig castration.
Would her parents and brother’s wife think she had gone mad?!
However, castrating pigs could be considered a skill.
If she taught it to her brother, he might be able to rely on it to get rich in the future.
That’s right, Lin Tang planned to teach this technique to her brother.
The pig farming business of the brigade would definitely succeed.
She was confident that within a year, the fame of Shuangshan Brigade for raising pigs would spread far and wide.
By then, many brigades would definitely want to learn from their experience.
If her brother had a skill in hand, why would he worry about not having prospects?
After hesitating for a while, Lin Tang made up her mind.
She got dressed and left her room.
After washing her face in the courtyard, she sought out her brother.
Lin Qingshan was surprised to see his sister so early in the morning.
“Is Tangtang looking for me?”
Lin Tang nodded and said, “Um, brother, I just recalled what I read in that pig-raising book before, that if you castrate the pigs, they will grow bigger and fatter, and the meat will be more tender and delicious.”
This wasn’t her saying it, it was science.
“Castrating pigs?” Lin Qingshan was stunned.
The wooden basin in his hand dropped with a clatter to the ground.
Castrate, castrating pigs?
Was she serious?
Lin Tang silently picked up the wooden basin, checked it, and seeing it wasn’t damaged and still usable,
She placed the basin at the entrance to the kitchen and looked back at her brother, who had just come to his senses.
“Right, castrating pigs. It’s said that pigs raised this way don’t have the gamey taste and will also fatten up more easily…”
Lin Qingshan asked with a disillusioned expression, “Sister, are you serious?”
He had never heard of castrating pigs making them fatter.
As for pig-raising techniques, they hadn’t heard much about them either.
Lin Tang said, “Of course, I’m serious. Let’s give it a try.
If we want to become a pig-raising brigade, how can we not experiment?”
Lin Qingshan looked towards their parents, who had appeared behind Lin Tang at some point and were also so shocked they were frozen in place.
“Dad, Mom, what do you think? Should we castrate them?”
Uttering those words about castration, his heart skipped a beat.
Lin Lu and Li Xiuli noticed their daughter’s gaze and gently touched their chins, which were almost dislocated from shock.
They struggled to gather the dignity and reliability that had nearly shattered on the ground.
“Ahem… Your dad and I think we should listen to Tangtang,” Xiuli said, looking at Lin Lu.
That’s what you mean, right, old man?
Lin Lu’s eyelid twitched.
Just as he was about to suggest they think it over a bit more, he met Lin Tang’s clear, expectant eyes.
He immediately changed his tune.
“Right, we’ll listen to Tangtang.”
After saying this, as the head of the family, Lin Lu was annoyed and wished he could slap himself.
If he ended up harming the piglets, Tangtang would feel so guilty!
If it really came down to it, they would let Tangtang speak, and the eldest would do the deed.
