Chapter 244: Chapter 243: More People Than Pigs

"Are you sure it was Sie Yufei who said this?"

"Sure."

"Are you sure he said it directly in front of you?"

"Sure!"

"..."

"Sister-in-law, what’s the matter?"

"Quick, hurry up, ride my bicycle back to your team, keep an eye on Sie Yufei, and absolutely can’t let him slaughter the pig!"

In the village school, Lin Nianhe’s face rarely changed, and her voice involuntarily raised a few notches.

She stuffed the bike key into Wu Genmao’s hand, her expression especially serious as she urged: "Hurry! If it’s too late, a real disaster could happen!"

Wu Genmao, holding the key, still felt it unlikely: "This... Sister-in-law, how could he slaughter a pig by himself? Besides, that’s a task pig, one would need a lot of guts to just kill it and eat the meat."

"Others might be joking when they say this, but Sie Yufei really dares to do it! Hurry back! Even if you have to knock him unconscious, stop him!"

Wu Genmao was still hesitant, but Cao Shijian had already dragged him away: "If she tells you to go, you go. How can you not listen to sister-in-law?"

Cao Shijian is now wholeheartedly following Lin Nianhe; whatever Lin Nianhe says, he listens, never questioning why.

Wu Genmao is the exact opposite; he’s accustomed to understanding things thoroughly, as if he can’t work without clearing things up.

Lin Nianhe watched the two of them walk away, her brows furrowing tighter.

Given Sie Yufei’s fearless nature, not only the village’s task pig, but even the red carp in Houhai, he wouldn’t hesitate to catch and grill... Where else would he have gotten his impressive fishing skills that even Wu Genmao admires?

The pigs at Victory Team are plagued with swine fever. If Sie Yufei dares to eat, his life is certainly at risk.

Yet Lin Nianhe couldn’t do anything, only hoping that Cao Manfu wouldn’t trust Sie Yufei too much, and wouldn’t give him a chance to be alone with the pig.

Worrying was useless. Lin Nianhe quietly left the village, heading to the cellar just two hundred meters from the village entrance.

It must be said, Wu Genmao and Cao Shijian’s cellar digging skills were truly above standard. Lin Nianhe searched the woods for a long time, almost having to lay on the ground... It took her a full ten minutes before she found the cellar entrance behind a big tree that required one person to embrace.

Their concealment work was really well done; the soil dug out was evenly scattered nearby, and the wooden door of the cellar was covered with a layer of dirt and fallen leaves, very hard to discover without close inspection.

Lin Nianhe opened the cellar door, sat beside it to let air circulate for a while, then climbed down the ladder.

The cellar was quite deep and pitch dark. Lin Nianhe shone her flashlight around, saw nothing suspicious, and then took bricks out from space.

She had thoughtfully left plenty of bricks and some sand for building a brick wall, leaving after that.

She carefully covered the entrance, cleaning up her footsteps, then Lin Nianhe hid in the woods and wiped the dust from her hands and face before taking a long detour back to the Educated Youth Corps.

When she returned, the others had already finished lunch and were resting. She quietly went back to her room, took out two dishes from the space, worried about the pigs of Victory Team and if Sie Yufei was still alive, and finished a bowl of rice.

The pigs of the Victory Team were still alive.

Sie Yufei truly didn’t find a chance to be alone with the pigs.

Not because Cao Manfu was cautious, but because—

When Wu Genmao and Cao Shijian entered the pigpen, they almost thought they had entered a women’s bathhouse.

Each diligent girl waving various tools, earnestly and tirelessly cleaning the pigpen without complaint. There were many of them, strong together, they managed to make the pigpen even cleaner than a typical living room, even competing to scrub the pig trough several times.

This was the first time since the pigpen existed that there were more people than pigs inside.

"Goodness, all the village girls are squeezed in here, aren’t they?" Cao Shijian swallowed his saliva, stiffly turned his head, looking toward Sie Yufei sitting like a grandpa by the pigpen door, "Brother-in-law, did you brew them some magic potion?"

Yufei said with righteousness and stubbornness, "What are you talking about? I teach them how to read, and they help me with work. It’s an exchange of labor for knowledge, what’s wrong with that?"

Youngest Master Sie was quite helpless.

He could obviously see what all these girls were thinking, but he had already set his heart on Miss Guan, and he had to keep himself pure and not be blinded by these girls.

But they would always find excuses to come up to him, either to help him with work or to bring him food. Yufei brought quite some money and food tickets when he came to the countryside, but having money did not mean spending it like this, so he had to find another way - inspired by the village school of Ten Miles Team —

He would teach them how to read!

And let them consider the work they did as tuition!

In doing so, he kept his promise to preserve his purity for Guan Family’s eldest daughter.

Shi Jian scratched his head and looked at Guihua, who was closest to him, and tentatively said, "Huahua, I can read too, shall I teach you?"

He didn’t just do manual labor at the village school, Principal Wu took an hour every day to specifically teach him and Wu Genmao how to read and study, and now the two of them were no longer the illiterates they used to be.

But Guihua ignored him completely, rolled her eyes with a dishrag in hand, and turned away.

Shi Jian looked at Wu Genmao and said, "Maomao, what should I do if Guihua is always shy? Should I just have my second uncle ask for her hand directly?"

Wu Genmao looked at him with complicated eyes, and considering they were brothers, he ultimately didn’t say what he genuinely thought.

Wu Genmao couldn’t be bothered with him and turned directly to Yufei, saying, "Brother-in-law, Teacher Lin said that you are not allowed to kill pigs, and he asked us both to keep an eye on you."

Yufei looked at the pigs, non-committal.

Seeing that he was still staring at the pigs, Wu Genmao finally felt uneasy. He grabbed Yufei’s clothes, desperation in his voice, "Brother Sie, those are our team’s task pigs, you wouldn’t really think about slaughtering them for meat, would you?"

Yufei licked his lips and waved his hand dismissively, "No way, am I that kind of person?"

He wouldn’t have made it worse by saying that, but now Wu Genmao felt more convinced that he was exactly that type.

Yufei forced himself to look away from the pigs and casually asked, "What’s Xiao He doing?"

Seeing that he finally looked away from the pigs, Wu Genmao quickly replied, "Teacher Lin is giving a lesson. Oh, they are having lunch now, sigh... Principal Wu stewed potatoes with green beans today, even baked large flatbreads..."

Wu Genmao had a slightly sad look in his eyes.

If it weren’t for the risk of him slaughtering the pigs, he could be eating those potatoes and green beans with flatbreads right now.

Yufei crossed his hands behind his head, leaned back against a tree, and said, "It’s been quite a while since I last saw Xiao He, I really miss her."

As soon as these words came out, all the girls in the pigpen who were focusing on Yufei turned to look at him all at once.

Their gazes were so sharp that they startled Youngest Master Sie, nearly causing him to fall backwards off the bench.

Dayue, who was closest to him, asked, "Comrade Sie, who is Xiao He?"

Yufei immediately replied, "My sister."

Both Wu Genmao and Shi Jian’s eyes widened in disbelief while looking at him.

Before they could comment, Dayue laughed and then patted her chest saying, "Then you should go see her, we’ve got the pigpen covered!"

"What are you talking about? What can you do? Comrade Sie, you go ahead, we’ve got this covered here!"

"We’ve got this, we’ve got this!"

"I..."

Watching a group of girls vying to clean the pigpen, Wu Genmao and Shi Jian exchanged a look, seeing admiration in each other’s eyes.
