Yang Mazi ate most of it himself and poured the rest to Dahuang.

Dahuang was happily eating.

Yang Xiaole saw this scene, his eyes gleaming. Although he didn't know the specific use of the well water, it seemed fine to drink for now.

After eating and drinking enough, the adults stayed to work while the others, including the children, went back home.

Yang Xiaole remembered that Mom asked about the price of the pot yesterday.

He went to the kitchen and took a pot directly.

"Third Brother, why are you taking the pot?"

Big Sister saw his actions and found it strange.

"Oh, didn't Mom say that if the price is right, we can sell the pot? I'm tired of running back and forth, so I brought it with me. If no one wants it, I'll bring it back."

Theft is never good, try looking at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

Yang Xiaole made up a story.

Yang Xiaomei thought about it and didn't say anything.

But she felt that something was off.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole found a hemp rope and tied the pot with a cross knot.

He dragged it on the ground and walked out of the house.

On the way, he encountered some people who were curious and looking at him.

When asked, he made up a story about bringing the pot to the teacher.

He arrived at a field path and saw that no one was around, so he stored the things in his space.

He lightened his load.

However, he secretly went into the space to check on the bees.

Most of the bees that were stored in the space had flown away, leaving only a few struggling and injured ones. Drinking the well water didn't help.

The bees that flew away had built a new nest next to the box he made!

Clearly, they hadn't merged yet.

Yang Xiaole didn't mind. He had consulted the old man specifically and selected a few male bees.

Now, there was only one queen bee left in the space. For the sake of the survival of the species, the bees would eventually merge with the queen bee group.

It was just a matter of time.

It was also equivalent to indirectly introducing a queen.

If they couldn't merge, it didn't matter. He would first do the work in the field. When the bees produced new bees, it wouldn't matter if these bees merged or not.

After checking the space and confirming that there were no problems, he left the space and headed towards the commune.

As for the iron pot, it naturally belonged to him.

This kind of large pot used in the countryside cost 3.75 fen per pot. This price was subsidized by the government, and each pot produced meant a loss. This was because the purchase price for scrap iron was also 1 fen per kilogram.

This pot weighed at least ten kilograms, so even as scrap, it was worth a couple of yuan!

He could say that many people sold pots and made 2 yuan from selling them as scrap. It wouldn't be a big loss.

He arrived at the commune.

It was bustling here as well.

Not just in the village, but also in the commune. After all, the system had changed.

He didn't care about these things.

Instead, he headed towards the supply and marketing cooperative.

When he arrived near the breakfast shop, it was already past breakfast time, and there was no one inside.

"Yang Xiaole!"

A chubby boy at the door saw Yang Xiaole and happily shouted.

"Gao Xinbao, aren't you at home?"

Yang Xiaole was planning to establish a relationship, and it happened to come to him.

The chubby boy showed an innocent smile and said happily, "No! I have nothing to do at home, so I came over to play!"

"Xiaole is here!"

Gao Danian was tidying up things in front of the stall. When he saw him, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and greeted him with a smile.

"Uncle Gao! I came to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if they have any matches and mosquito coils. The agency store has sold out."

The supply at the production brigade's agency store was not sufficient, and there were often shortages.

Mainly because they couldn't sell them, the production brigade had to bear the burden.

"Oh, you want to buy matches! It seems that the supply and marketing cooperative has also sold out. I heard that the supply is tight now. You can go and check. If they don't have any, I have a box here. I'll give you one."

"Okay, thanks, Uncle Gao!"

The breakfast shop was a public place, so they usually wouldn't run out of matches. They would have extra.

"Why be polite!"

"Okay, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative first! Xinbao, I'll see you later!"

After Yang Xiaole finished speaking, he greeted Gao Xinbao and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Xiaole!"

Just as he took a few steps, he heard someone calling him.

He turned around and saw Goushang!

Yang Mazi and Yang Qingwu were following him, along with several people and two donkey carts with many bamboo baskets on them.

Yang Xiaole stopped and waited for him.

"Uncle Liu, Second Uncle... What are you doing?"

Yang Xiaole greeted Yang Mazi and the others.

The old man nodded.

Yang Qingwu smiled and said, "Oh, the team leader said that there are only so many pigs in the commune. If we come late, they will be snatched by other production teams. Hurry up and come to get some piglets to raise. What are you here for?"

Yang Xiaole understood.

The whole commune had tens of thousands of people, but there were only mother pigs in the commune. At the beginning of each year, they would come to collect piglets and raise them until the Lunar New Year, when they would be sent to the purchasing station. They would also bring in some piglets from the county at that time.

Because the stock in the commune was not enough to support the piglets for the entire commune.

"Oh, I came to find Teacher Luo. He said he would bring me some books. I'll see if he's back."

Yang Qingwu smiled and nodded, "Okay, go and have a look! We're going to get the piglets."

After saying that, he led a group of people and walked ahead.

"Xiaole, come and take a look!"

Goushang waved at him.

Yang Xiaole looked at the advancing team, thought for a moment, and followed them.

He wasn't just here to watch the excitement, but to continue the race in the space!

There were only two castrated boars in the space.

The two of them followed the team with smiles on their faces.

And Dahuang was wagging its tail next to him, rubbing its head against his pants.

Goushang found it strange, "Huh, why does Dahuang like you so much? Grandpa said that Dahuang should be able to hold on for a while longer."

Yang Xiaole looked down at Dahuang but didn't pay it any attention.

He just smiled at Goushang and said, "That's good. It's been so long since I raised it, and it would be heartbreaking if it died."

"Yeah, who wouldn't think so!"The signs were all freshly replaced, the paint still new!

The bright red paint at the entrance bore the slogan: "Resolutely fight the defense battle, ensure the supply of grain and livestock to the city."

The screams of pigs could be heard even before entering.

At this time, quite a few people were already walking into the Large Courtyard.

Upon entering the Large Courtyard, there were several houses with green bricks and black tiles, and a long row of pigsties on the side of the courtyard.

There were quite a few people gathered around there.

Inside, there were also a few people selecting pigs.

A staff member was there, puffing on a cigarette and saying, "Alright, alright, don't rush. The higher-ups are already aware of the situation and have sent a batch of piglets in advance. Everyone will get some, if not today, then tomorrow! Those who have registered come and get your pigs, those who haven't, hurry up and register, bring your slips over. We recognize slips, not faces."

"Comrade Sun, we are from the 3rd team of the 2nd Production Brigade, here is our slip."

Upon hearing this, someone handed over their slip.
