Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

"Okay, Dad will carry you after dinner." Yu Dazhuang looked at Yu Congcong with eager eyes and answered with a helpless but doting smile.

"Just spoil her. The wild boar is so dirty. If it gets infected, you will see what you will do." Grandma glared at Yu Dazhuang angrily, feeling helpless.

"Grandma, I won't come closer to see you. I'll watch from a distance." Yu Congcong tightly grabbed the corner of her grandmother's clothes and shook them, begging coquettishly. She looked at her grandmother expectantly and whispered, "It's enough if I can just take a look."

Xiao Cao looked at the father and daughter and nodded helplessly. The father and daughter both laughed happily, and Yu Congcong kept praising them, "Grandma is so nice, so nice."

"Well, Dad is not well." Yu Dazhuang joked.

"Dad is great too. Dad and grandma are both the best." Yu Congcong quickly complimented. Yu Dazhuang smiled happily after hearing this.

Yu Dazhuang carefully carried Yu Congcong to the place where the wild boar was released. The place was already crowded with people, and there was no sign of the wild boar. Amid the noisy voices, one could vaguely hear two women arguing fiercely.

"Dad, what's going on? I seemed to hear Sixth Grandma's voice. Will the wild boar go crazy if they make such a noise?" Yu Congcong blinked his big eyes, his little face full of curiosity and worry, and asked a series of questions.

"Dad, I'm not too sure. The wild boar should have been given anesthetics." Yu Dazhuang answered based on what he knew.

"Captain, you're here. The captain asked us to come in." Fu Qian noticed Yu Dazhuang with his sharp eyes and hurried over to say.

"What's wrong? What's the noise in there?" Yu Dazhuang frowned and asked loudly.

"It's about who should raise the wild boar." Fu Qian summed up the cause of the quarrel in one concise sentence.

"Oh, let's go in and take a look!" Yu Dazhuang raised his eyebrows and said lightly. Fu Qian immediately pushed through the crowded crowd and led the way in front. Yu Dazhuang followed closely behind, holding Yu Congcong in his arms. After finally squeezing into the inner circle, a strong odor suddenly hit her face. The smell was really unpleasant. Yu Congcong smelled the smell and felt nauseous. She wondered how these people could endure it.

"Captain, let's go to another place to discuss it. First, move the wild boar to the pigpen in Honghua's yard. We'll go to the ancestral hall to discuss it and then move to another place." Yu Dazhuang suggested to the captain.

"Well, let's do this!" The captain couldn't stand this anymore. He frowned slightly and agreed very much with Yu Dazhuang's proposal.

Yu Congcong glanced at the wild boar and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, it's so big! How heavy must it be?" The system heard the host's thoughts and quickly replied: "Host, this system detects that it weighs 623 kilograms."

"What, so heavy? Dad and the others are so awesome!" Yu Congcong exclaimed sincerely.

A group of people came to the ancestral hall, and the team leader found the original people and carried the wild boar to the pigsty where Honghua died.

"Okay, everyone be quiet! This wild boar is pregnant. The militia team had a lot of trouble catching it. Originally, it was divided among several people, so we can't complain. Comrade Yu Dazhuang, the militia captain, thought that without a boar in the village, the sow would have difficulty in getting pregnant. So he thought of leaving it to the village to fill the gap. Now we are discussing the raising of this wild sow. Let's make it clear first, when the wild sow gives birth, the militia team will take half. The remaining half will go to the village. The sow will belong to the person who raises it in the future. Whether you want to kill it and sell the meat, or continue to raise it, the village will not care. Those who are willing to raise it should stand up first. In the end, who will raise it will be decided by a vote." After the captain finished speaking, he stood there quietly, looking around at everyone and waiting.

"It's quite suitable. Look at the pig. It's been pregnant for at least two months. In another month, we can get an adult sow. If we raise it well, she will have at least two litters of piglets a year. These are all income." A villager had a smile on his face and anticipation in his eyes.

"Yes! Even if we can't raise it well, we can still get some pork. This pig is so big, it must weigh several hundred kilograms!" Everyone talked about it and they all felt it was very suitable.

Widow Wang listened to everyone's discussion and quickly stood up. Wu Dazui was not to be outdone and stood up soon after. Even the old scholar's wife Jinhua stood up. Her old scholar hated the smell of pig manure. Wu Chou also stood up. Wu Chou wanted to make money to find her daughter. This opportunity was rare and she wanted to fight for it. Liu Yuer also stood up. She liked to join in the fun wherever there was something going on.

"Is there anyone left? If not, let's start voting." The team leader wanted to get this done quickly as everyone had a lot of things waiting for them at home!

"Raise your hands if you support Widow Wang." Only seven or eight people slowly raised their hands.

"Raise your hands if you support Wu Dazui." As soon as the words fell, there was a clattering sound, and a group of hands were raised high. Everyone still had a scale in their hearts. Although Wu Dazui had a bad mouth, she was indeed a good pig farmer. Yu Dazhuang thought that Wu Dazui could be raised, so he took the trouble to catch him alive.

The captain was very satisfied and looked at the remaining two people to complete the process. "Please raise your hands if you support Wu Chou." As soon as the words fell, the originally lively scene suddenly became quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and only a few children in the ancestral hall raised their hands hesitantly.

"Please raise your hands if you support Liu Yu'er." The scene became even quieter, with almost no one raising their hands. Only Liu Jun raised his hand. Even her father and brother did not raise their hands. Liu Yu'er looked at this situation, glared at her father and brother angrily, then turned and ran out.

"Please raise your hands if you support Jinhua," the captain shouted expressionlessly, scanning the crowd. Liu Yuer had already run away, and the captain continued to preside over the voting as if he hadn't seen her.

Seven or eight people slowly raised their hands. Their expressions were a little hesitant, and they seemed unsure of their choices.

"Okay, no more suspense. This wild sow belongs to Wu Dazui. Everyone, go away! The people who came here should carry the wild sow back to Wu Dazui's house!" The captain's voice echoed in the ancestral hall. His tone was calm, as if he had expected all this.

After saying that, the captain took the lead and walked out, his steps firm and steady, as if there was something important waiting for him to deal with at home. Seeing this, everyone followed him out of the ancestral hall and went home.

The figures of the villagers slowly disappeared from sight, and the ancestral hall returned to peace. Wu Chou felt lost and walked silently to the group of children. These children were usually quite silent, and they did not take the initiative to interact with other children in the village, but Tiezhu and his friends were quite proactive and often came to play with them.
