You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 50 Mobilization Meeting

Ever since the system inadvertently revealed that Lu Mingdong would eat up the family fortune, Lu Yuanqing couldn't help but secretly observe him.

You can't judge a book by its cover! He couldn't tell anything from the ten-year-old's face at all.

"System, you must be joking!" Although Lu Yuanqing's tone was questioning, he knew that the system would never joke.

He didn't know the original fate of everyone in the Lu family, but the system seemed to know.

Therefore, Lu Yuanqing often liked to suddenly say something to guide the system while talking or chatting with it.

Having gotten used to chatting with Lu Yuanqing every night, the system naturally didn't guard against him.

Every now and then, a little bit of information is accidentally missed.

Lu Yuanqing waited for a while, but the system didn't say anything. He knew that the information that had been exposed had angered it.

Lu Yuanqing curled his lips. How petty of a system to get angry.

Lu Yuanqing held his chopsticks and waited a little longer.

Yo!

This time, if I call it stingy in my mind, no one will argue with me?

It seems he's really angry.

However, Lu Yuanqing had no intention of comforting him. They were already bound to him and were relying on him to complete the mission! Could they be unbound? He couldn't just let it go.

"Third Uncle, why have you been watching Xiao Dong?" Lu Mingxi asked suspiciously.

"I..." Lu Yuanqing hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

You can't exactly say he really wants to ask Lu Mingdong how he ended up going astray. He seemed perfectly fine now, so why did he end up eating people and having no descendants?

However, Lu Yuanqing has one advantage: he doesn't judge people in the present with a future-oriented perspective when things haven't happened yet.

Moreover, Lu Mingdong is currently a cool and suave guy who can't be easily amused, and he has no idea what he will do in the future.

Lu Mingdong, who had been openly scrutinized, snorted and said, "Third Uncle is happy! I told him some good news!"

He found out what Tian Xiaoju was thinking and was unhappy!

Who told him to be his third uncle! He'd better just put up with it!

"What good news?"

Lu Mingxi and the others immediately asked out of curiosity.

"Yes..."

"No news!" Lu Yuanqing waved his long arm, directly covering Lu Mingdong's mouth before he could speak, and laughed as he said to the others, "This is a secret between Xiaodong and me. Since it's a secret, of course I can't tell you!"

Lu Yuanbo scoffed: "Tch!"

Lu Yuanhuan understood: "Oh!"

Lu Mingxi scoffed: "Hmph!"

Lu Mingnan blinked, "I also want to have a secret with Third Uncle!"

Lu Yuanqing didn't bother with them and only focused on 'threatening' Lu Mingdong to stop him from saying it.

I'm doomed. Given how much my kids like Gu Baoxia, they'll be overjoyed if they find out, and then... even the pigs in the village might know.

"Alright, alright, go rest after you eat. The autumn harvest is coming up, and everyone's exhausted! You still have the energy to keep up with secrets? Come on, Xiao Nan, you're the slowest eater, eat faster today! Xiao Xi, what are you whispering with Xiao Dong? Don't ask, that's our secret."

"Isn't that right, Xiao Dong?"

Lu Mingdong snorted coldly, ignored him, and ate his meal quietly.

Lu Yuanqing urged the children to eat.

Next comes the autumn harvest, and even if the Gu family has any ideas, those will be after the harvest.

I must find some time to talk to Gu Baoxia and see what she thinks.

A girl's reputation is always subject to some attention.

He could go along with Gu Baoxia's ideas for the time being.

However, if Gu Baoxia is the kind of person who listens to her parents' arrangements and can marry him even if she doesn't like him, then Lu Yuanqing will express his own thoughts.

He cannot accept a marriage without love.

This is an irresponsible act.

……

I don’t know if it was because of the distribution reform, but everyone paid more attention to work points and food, so they were more diligent and attentive at work.

Therefore, the crops in Shihua Village are growing exceptionally well this year.

Shihua Village is mostly paddy fields. Every day, when you look out from your doorstep, you can see fields of golden rice, each ear of rice weighed down with its weight.

Once the corn harvest is complete, the aroma of rice will likely fill the entire village.

On the threshing ground, Zhao Zhongcai was still shouting slogans at the top of his lungs.

But people still had some complaints about him. While he was holding a mobilization meeting, the villagers were whispering amongst themselves, and hardly anyone was really listening.

"Back in the spring, it didn't rain at first, which scared us so much. We almost thought there would be another famine this year. But then it rained for several days, and this year we still had a bumper harvest. It's really great!"

Lu Yuanqing never imagined that one day he would be the one being pulled into a conversation.

The person he was talking to was Li Daniu from the village. Last time, he had hinted to the villagers in the fields that they should stop paying attention to the distribution of work points and focus on earning more work points.

When Li Daniu heard this, he thought that although the young man was young, he was insightful and a smart kid, and no wonder he was able to become an accountant.

From then on, he really enjoyed talking to Lu Yuanqing, especially when they happened to be assigned to the same place for work.

Lu Yuanqing had never done farm work in his previous life, but he had at least seen pictures of a bountiful harvest, so he smiled and said, "It will get even better in the future."

The current harvest is less than half of what it will be in later generations!

"Brother Da Niu, your wife is pregnant! Does she still have to go to work?" Lu Yuanqing felt a chill run down his spine when he looked at Li Da Niu's wife, who was heavily pregnant.

Don't let Li Daniu's age fool you; he's only two or three years older than her. His wife is already pregnant with their third child! They already have a son and a daughter.

His wife was extremely thin, with only a thin layer of skin covering her cheeks, but her belly was very large, which looked quite frightening.

However, instead of resting at home during her pregnancy, she appeared at the mobilization meeting, clearly indicating that she was going to work in the fields.

"There are still three months until the baby is born! What's there to be afraid of!" Li Daniu said nonchalantly.

Isn't this perfect timing? The autumn harvest was over, and we were just getting our share of the grain when the baby was born. This one in my belly is so lucky!

Seeing Li Daniu's indifferent attitude, and even his wife's expression that no one could stop her from going to work and earning work points, Lu Yuanqing swallowed hard and thought, "Whatever!" He had nothing more to say.

Zhou Ping, a female cadre standing nearby, also said, "It's nothing to go to the fields while pregnant. Before, we would rush to the fields right after giving birth, without even having a proper postpartum period."

"Yes! Do you still remember Aunt Chen? I remember she was still working when the baby was born in the field."

Lu Yuanqing took a deep breath and forced himself to focus on Zhao Zhongcai in front of him.

He would rather hear slogans than hear about the many ways rural babies are born.

After speaking passionately for a long time, Zhao Zhongcai finally waved his hand and said, "Alright, the autumn harvest of Shihua Village Production Team has officially begun!"

Upon hearing that they could finally begin, the villagers picked up their baskets and carrying poles and hurried to the fields.
