Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife
Chapter 1545 - 1545: Meat Distribution Day ( 2 )

Seeing how happy she was, Li Chenmo rubbed her hair gently and said helplessly, "You, ah, always make me unable to say no."

After getting what she wanted, Lu Jueyu was in a good mood and said, "It's because you love me."

"Mhmm, it's because I love you. So, don't overthink and make yourself feel sad," Li Chenmo replied with a chuckle.

Lu Jueyu snuggled with her husband for a while before they wore their thick cotton-padded jackets, woolen hats, gloves, and scarves.

When they left the house, Li Chenmo held on to his wife's arm to support her as they walked slowly. Due to the slippery road, the family opted to walk on foot rather than ride bicycles.

While the family walked leisurely, the production team staff, accompanied by Li Lingyun and Li Chenze, were busy at the pig pen. Today, they would slaughter all of the pigs, so they came early in the morning to clean them up and herd them to the open field.

When they finished washing all the pigs, the sun rose. After counting the pigs, Li Chenze said, "Team leader, the number of pigs is 60. It fits the number."

Han Yuheng nodded and said, "It's not early anymore, we should go to the open field now."

"Okay."

At the same time, in the open field, the villagers whose households were registered under the 12th production team had already gathered in the area before the sun even rose in the eastern horizon.

At this moment, everyone was eager to see how much meat they could get this time. From the last meat distribution, everyone had already learned about the Li family's and the Lu family's talent in raising pigs. Therefore, everyone came with high expectations today.

At half past six o'clock in the morning, two military cars parked outside Xie Village's entrance, and two groups of people came out of the cars.

As they walked toward the village, An Xuyuan smiled and greeted them, "Sir, you are finally here."

An old man patted An Xuyuan's shoulder and replied with a nod, "Comrade An, it seems that you are doing really well here."

An Xuyuan smiled and said, "This place is indeed a good place to live."

Hearing his words, the old man laughed and said, "I heard from your grandpa that you finally found a prospective partner. When will you bring her back for us to see?"

"I will bring her back after we register our marriage," An Xuyuan replied calmly.

"Then you should do it soon. Otherwise, your grandpa might come to visit you personally," the old man said with a chuckle.

As the two of them chatted, An Xuyuan led the group to the open field. When they almost reached the open field, the old man suddenly said, "I heard that this year's pigs were raised by two families and almost reached 400 kilograms each. Is that true?"

An Xuyuan nodded at his words and replied, "Although not all pigs raised by the Li and the Lu families reached 400 kilograms, the average weight of the pigs is around 380 kilograms."

When the group heard this, they were surprised and erupted into hushed discussion. The group had come from the capital to check on the information they received from the brigade regarding the pig-raising guide given by Li Chenmo.

Not long after they arrived at the open field, they heard the sound of footsteps, accompanied by the cheers of the villagers, and turned around. The moment they saw a group of villagers herding a large group of pigs, they were shocked.

They stared at the pigs, and one of them asked a nearby villager, "Comrade, why don't they tie up the pigs? Won't it be dangerous to let them walk like that?"

Hearing this, the villager smiled and said, "Comrade, you must not be a local resident. Everyone who lives in Xie Village knows that the pigs raised by the Li family are very obedient."

"They even lay on the butchering table without resistance. If people didn't know, they might think that those pigs are raised as pets and not livestock. So, there is no need to worry about any danger at all."

As soon as he finished his words, the pigs walked past them with their heads held high. Looking at the pigs, the image of brave soldiers flashed in their minds.

Standing not far from the open field, Lu Jueyu held her belly and looked at the pigs with complicated feelings.

After raising them for so long, she no longer treated them as mere livestock. Right now, she was unwilling to see them slaughtered. But if they were not slaughtered, then the people wouldn't have meat to nourish their bodies.

After thinking about it for a while, this matter returned to the law of the food chain. Since nature's law had determined it, it was useless for her to dwell on this matter.

At this moment, she suddenly heard her father's vague voice, 'Everything in this world is born from the origin's energy and carries a purpose. As time passes, they will eventually return to their origin after they fulfill their fate. Life and death is the most natural circle in the world.'

After she heard this, Lu Jueyu smiled and muttered under her breath, "Thank you, Dad. I understand."

She watched the production team's staff weigh the pigs and herd them to the slaughtering area. Before the pigs went to the slaughtering area, they would turn their heads to look in the villagers' direction and let out a high-pitched squeal.

Everyone who saw this found it strange, but only those who had been taking care of the pigs knew that it was those pigs' way of saying their farewell.

At this moment, everyone was full of joy and excitement about having meat to eat, but Dong Li's mood was gloomy.

Fearing that her son would have a psychological burden from watching the pigs he raised being slaughtered, Lu Jueyu said, "Ah Li, Xiao Huang, can both of you accompany Mother back? Mother feels tired."
