Chapter 283 Choice
When the future son-in-law came in, Wang Jianguo and his wife both put down their bowls and chopsticks.

“Uncle, aunt! I’m eating!”

“Ah, Xiaofeng is back! Have you had dinner? If not, just eat something!”

“He hasn’t eaten yet! I’ll go get some porridge!” Without waiting for Yue Feng to answer, Wang Xiaona next to him opened her mouth first, turned around and went to get some rice from the stove.

“Hehe, I haven’t had dinner yet! I just finished cleaning up the house and came here first!” Yue Feng was not polite and sat down in the empty seat next to his brother-in-law Xiaoyu.

“Brother-in-law, what are you carrying? It’s not a mink, is it?” Wang Mingyu, who was standing next to him, had been focusing most of his attention on the cage in Yue Feng’s hand since he entered the door.

Didn’t Yue Feng use an eagle to catch a live female mink before he left? The mink was also kept in a large cage that was shielded from the light. Jingjing came with Xiaoyu to watch it.

Although this cage is much smaller now, it is covered with cloth to block the light and its shape is the same as the one he saw before, so Wang Mingyu guessed it right at once.

“It is indeed a sable! This time I went to my grandmother’s house and got a good harvest. The conditions in the village over there are worse than ours, and I didn’t buy any decent local products when I came back. I happened to hear Jingjing say that you and your sister like this, so I brought one here for you to raise and play with!”

While Yue Feng was speaking, he opened the cover at the observation port above. A sable with shiny fur and a very energetic look was staring at the person in the observation port in the cage.

“Ah! Thank you, brother-in-law! I knew you would give me one! Sister Jing is really nice. She didn’t eat my snack in vain!”

Wang Mingyu was overjoyed. He stopped eating and immediately came over to look at the sable in the cage through the observation hole.

“Wang Mingyu!!! What are you doing? This sable is not a pet. What if it dies? It’s precious. You can’t use it to coax a child. Take it back with you when you leave!”

At this time, Wang Jianguo immediately gave his youngest son a stern greeting.

“Let’s eat first! Here, your porridge! Mom, we have eggs at home, right? Should I fry some more eggs?” Xiaona brought Yue Feng corn grits porridge and chopsticks, then turned to ask her mother.

“The eggs are in the box next to the stove! Forget it, come here and I’ll do it!” The mother-in-law took it very seriously and immediately got up to prepare more dishes for her future son-in-law.

“Aunt, stop working, this is good enough! It’s enough to eat!” Yue Feng said politely out of habit.

“You guys do your own things, I’ll take over here!” The mother-in-law put on an apron and immediately got busy.

“Sister~~ Our dad doesn’t allow us to keep the sable brought by my brother-in-law!!! Why don’t you tell him about it!” After being scolded, Wang Mingyu pulled his sister’s hand and started to act coquettishly.

Wang Xiaona also liked the little sable. After taking a few glances at it from the observation window, she looked at Yue Feng and asked, “Is this little sable easy to raise? If it is, I will help you raise it for a few days!”

“Not bad! It started eating the next day after I caught it! It eats everything, grains, meat, leftover bones, etc. The only thing you need to be careful about at home is not to feed it mice.

There is too much rat poison in the village, and many rats have chronic poisoning. The rats themselves are not killed by the poison, but the sables may die after eating the poisoned rats! “

“Okay, then I’ll help you take care of it for a few days! This little guy is pretty well behaved, I wonder if he dares to touch me!”

“Don’t touch it with your hands, it might bite you! It has the best temper among the few sub-adult cubs I caught, but you still have to be careful with it, after all, it’s a wild one, not as safe as a pet at home!

Also, no matter whether you are feeding, watering or cleaning the cage, you must keep an eye on the cage door. This creature is small, and if it runs away, you won’t be able to catch it!
It should be about one and a half years old now. I’ll raise it for half a year to a year, and when it grows big enough, I can slaughter it and sell its skin. As long as I feed it well and take good care of it, it’s much more cost-effective than raising a pig!”

“Okay!” Wang Xiaona nodded in agreement.

Children who grew up in the village have experienced the hardships of life at the bottom of society, so they are quite accepting of things like raising animals, killing them and selling their skins.

After all, the pigs of ordinary families are mostly raised by children from very small lambs by collecting grass, and when they are slaughtered near the Chinese New Year, the pigs taste better than anything else.

Seeing that his daughter and her future son-in-law had already discussed it, Wang Jianguo no longer insisted and said with a little emotion: “You only know how to spoil them. This sable is such a precious thing. What if it dies if you don’t take good care of it!”

“If it’s dead, it’s dead. It was killed and skinned anyway! I saw it hasn’t grown big enough, so I kept it for a while so that its skin can be sold for more money when it’s bigger!
Uncle, you don’t know, these minks were caught from the Blind Camel Mountain, in an inconspicuous little cave, and four minks were blasted out by firecrackers and smoked! One big and three small, we caught them all! There are nine female minks with minks at home!”

“Wow, there are so many! The sables are so thick over there!”

“Not bad! Anyway, I caught quite a few each time I went out! Regardless of size, male or female, I caught about 24 or 25 in total!”

“Okay! That means we’ll be rich! I heard the market for leather is pretty scary right now, the price goes up every few days!”

“Hehe!” Yue Feng smiled modestly. The atmosphere in the room was harmonious.

“I won’t drink the porridge yet. Mom, fry some peanuts for Xiaofeng and me to drink!”

When Wang Jianguo heard that his brother-in-law was going to make a lot of money this time, he immediately became interested.

My mother-in-law was also very helpful. Soon the appetizers were put into the pot in the kitchen. There was a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions, a plate of fried peanuts, a can of luncheon meat, and the pork belly stewed with sauerkraut that was originally on the table. In total, there were four simple dishes, but the standard of this home-cooked meal was not low!

When Wang Xiaona heard that her father wanted to drink, she turned around and went into the house, and soon came out with a bottle of Beidacan wine.

This wine was considered pretty good at the time, at least much better than the Sanlouzi that Wang Jianguo usually drank at home.

“Okay! Then have a sip!” Yue Feng was not nervous. He moved the bowl of porridge aside and took the wine glass from Xiaona.

Soon several dishes were served and the drinking began. Wang Jianguo asked a lot of questions about Lincheng, and Yue Feng answered them appropriately. The father and son drank slowly and before they knew it, each had a glass of wine.

While drinking, Yue Feng mentioned to Lao Zhang Ganzi about asking Zhang Hongbin to help gather the Qian family. After listening to the whole story, Wang Jianguo nodded and said, “You did a great job! Lao Zhang is also very particular. Our previous efforts were not in vain. He really worked hard when there was something going on!”

“Have you made any progress on your idea of ​​making any move?” Yue Feng asked again.

“There’s a rumor that before the end of the year, the city will have a refresher course to train and promote grassroots cadres. I’m in touch with my friend in the Organization Department. If there’s an opportunity, I’ll try to get a spot. After graduation, if I pass the assessment, I may be able to work in the town office!” said Wang Jianguo.

“Town office or township office?” Upon hearing this, Yue Feng specifically asked a detail.

Some people may be confused when seeing this. Aren’t townships and towns at the same level at this point in time? What’s the difference?

There are indeed certain differences. We will not go into details about the specific differences. Simply put, a township can be understood as a collective superior administrative department of rural areas, while a town is more like a superior administrative department of an urban industrial zone or street.

The organizational levels of the two are almost the same, but generally speaking, the town is slightly higher than the township by about half a level (this is not a rigorous general statement, brothers who understand should not be entangled in the details of the expression!)
“Both the township and the town! But that friend said it would be better to go to the town office for promotion!” Wang Jianguo replied. “If you pass the assessment, what will be your rank and what will be the specific affairs you will be engaged in after you go to the new unit?” Yue Feng asked again.

“Just start as a clerk and work your way up! If you can still go, then make him a leader? Arrange the staffing first, and then consider the issue of promotion later!”

After hearing the father-in-law’s answer, Yue Feng pursed his lips and shook his head slightly: “I think, from our point of view, this decision is not very wise!”

“How to say?”

“You are already this old, I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to work as a clerk with those young people!
In terms of academic qualifications, I definitely have no advantage. I am definitely not as good as my younger colleagues in writing a manuscript or organizing documents.

But in terms of grassroots experience, I am much stronger than others after working there for so many years. If I switch to administrative affairs, wouldn’t that be comparing my own shortcomings with the strengths of others?

Yes, the level at the town office is indeed higher, but there are also more people watching!
If you want to be promoted, you must have some achievements, right? What achievements can you get by doing those specific administrative tasks all day?
Several years have passed when I was stuck at the grassroots level, and I have to wait another two years to retire. Isn’t that a waste of time?
Even if our own connections and backgrounds want to help us, we have to lend a hand first!”

After listening to Yue Feng’s analysis, Wang Jianguo was stunned. What his brother-in-law said made sense.

“Well, what do you think? How should I choose the right one?”

“If I were you, I would bet big that I could become a grassroots leader in the township office after graduation! I don’t need a high level, as long as I have a little say and can get things done!
Doing practical things for the villagers will bring results, and with results, you can stand out when the right opportunity comes. It is better than wasting time as a clerk in the town office!”

It’s true, Yue Feng’s words really touched Wang Jianguo a lot.

The advice given to him by his friends in the Municipal Organization Department was based on their perspective and standpoint. The starting point was good, but good is not necessarily right, and the specific situation needs to be analyzed.

The year 80 was the time when the national system and development focus began to change. There were plenty of opportunities waiting ahead, and the probability of achieving results by doing practical work at the grassroots level was quite high.

Although Yue Feng had never been in the officialdom, he understood history, understood the country’s development direction in the coming period, and had read many realistic officialdom novels.

The knowledge here is extremely profound. In my previous life, I could only pass the time by reading it, but now I have the opportunity to participate in the development and changes of history.

“Okay, now that you put it, it seems to make sense. I’ll ask my friends to look into it later!” Wang Jianguo nodded and kept to himself what his brother-in-law said at the dinner table.

After finishing a bottle of wine, Wang Jianguo still felt a little unsatisfied, but Yue Feng didn’t want to drink anymore. His wife was accompanying him all the time, with a resentful look in her eyes. Being drunk would not be conducive to doing anything bad later.

Yue Feng ended the evening’s drinking on the pretext that he had plans for the next day. Wang Xiaona replaced his meal with a bowl of hot barley porridge. After eating and drinking their fill, Yue Feng cleared the table, said hello to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and went to Wang Xiaona’s boudoir.

It is said that a short separation is better than a new marriage. Although Yue Feng, this coward, did not make any substantial breakthroughs, the love between the two was sincere enough. As soon as he entered the room and closed the door, Wang Xiaona hugged Yue Feng’s waist.

“You big bad guy!”

“Why am I so bad! I am an upright man, nicknamed the honest, kind and handsome man!” Yue Feng said jokingly with a smile.
“Bah! You’re just a chatterbox! You’re getting engaged at the beginning of the month, are you ready?”

“Don’t worry, my parents have already arranged everything. We don’t have to be so reserved when we get engaged. Coming to your house secretly is like stealing someone’s lover!”

“Bah! You’re the one who stole the girl! What a rude thing to say!”

“I am stealing someone, and the one I stole is you! We haven’t seen each other for many days, come, let’s have a bite first!” Yue Feng was not angry, he lowered his head and kissed Wang Xiaona.

On normal days, even if she could succeed, the other party would mostly be half-hearted and reluctant. But today, Wang Xiaona was particularly proactive. It would have been fine if she didn’t dodge or avoid the kiss normally, but she actually took the initiative to stick out her tongue.

A sweet aroma exploded in his taste buds, and Yue Feng had only one thought in his mind at this moment.

So sweet!

While eating, Yue Feng’s hands also became dull, and he started to move from his original position of resting his hands on the other person’s shoulders to some indescribable areas.

Wang Xiaona felt the touch on her body, frowned slightly, and let out a moan.

Yue Feng’s hands and feet suddenly became stiff and he dared not show off anymore.

However, if it is not prohibited by law, it is allowed. Seeing that his wife did not resist, Yue Feng became more unscrupulous in the next round of attack.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the boudoir was charming.

…………

After spending more than half an hour in the boudoir with Wang Xiaona, the two of them finally calmed down a little.

Yue Feng said: “I have something to tell you! I plan to set up a sable farm!

The little mink I brought today is a wild-caught male mink without any markings. It has a good personality. In the next period of time, you should pay a little attention to it and practice to summarize and adapt to the various details of breeding sables!

When next spring comes and the mother mink gives birth to cubs, the initial stage of the breeding farm will begin. You have to help me then!

After all, you are a junior high school student, you are better than my mom and the others in these new things!”

“Okay! I’ll give it a try! If we want to do breeding, do we have to do it on a large scale in the future?”

“It should be of some scale! But it will take several years for the seedlings to be paired and grow normally, so there is enough time!
Let’s develop slowly. With a few hundred breeding pairs of males, we won’t have to worry about food and drink every year! By then, I will be the manager and you will be the boss lady!”

“Bah, disgusting, who said I wanted to marry you!”

“If you don’t agree, it means your performance just now wasn’t very good. I’ll try to perform better!” As soon as he finished speaking, his dirty hands reached out again.

“嘤嘤嘤”
