Chapter 1220: Where's My Watermelon? [Double-Length] (Part 3)
After all, if something's wrong with the livestock, it usually first shows up in their diet.
Once he finished eating, he began to shovel feces.
After tidying up once, he had to clean the entire pen... if the weather was good, the cattle and sheep would be out, and after cleaning, he would disinfect it, then head to the Riverside Beach to continue shoveling poop.
If they moved the pigs over as well, they'd definitely have to hire someone.
Thinking while he carried a bucket of disinfectant, he slowly made his way to the pigsty next door.
It was as simple as the cattle and sheep pen, just a place to eat and sleep, but it was just as spacious, bright, and clean.
He poured the disinfectant on the ground and then lit it up, making sure there was nothing flammable in the empty, closed-off house, then slowly shut the door and walked away.
He heard the Song Family was planning to bring in another pig, wondering whether they'd keep it directly on the back mountain or isolate it here for two days first...
In any case, he had to do his work well.
Today was another busy but hopeful day!
Zhang Wang's Family checked their savings, made themselves a cup of Kudzu Root Powder, and happily opened their phone, continuing with this quiet and peaceful life.
Until —
"Knock, knock, knock."
Someone knocked on the door: "Uncle Zhang, it's Chen Yuan, we need to rewire the surveillance over here, just came to let you know."
Zhang Wang hurriedly got up, stepping out side by side, looking at the energetic young man, he couldn't help but show a loving smile:
"Alright, just do as you see fit."
"Okay." Chen Yuan also smiled: "The surveillance rewiring is mostly outside, there's just a few wires here that need realigning. I also heard you mention last time that this switch is a bit inconvenient to reach..."
"Hang on, I brought tools today, I'll fix it later."
"Great!" The switch was inconvenient, but they're used to feeling for it by now, it's just a trivial thing.
But remembering it, Zhang Wang's Family was naturally happy.
He eagerly fetched a ladder for the other person, and as the other stepped onto it, the pants leg lifted, revealing a section of cold gray metal.
Zhang Wang's Family froze for a moment.
He usually stayed at Riverside Beach, only going up to the mountain cafeteria to eat, so although he knew that Lao Song's family had brought in some security guards, he didn't know exactly what the situation was.
Seeing it now, he was momentarily stunned.
Chen Yuan, standing on the ladder, noticed his daze and couldn't help but wonder: "Uncle Zhang, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing." Zhang Wang's Family snapped back, waving his hands repeatedly. After a while, he couldn't help but ask: "Well... Captain Chen, your leg..."
"Oh, this." Chen Yuan instinctively lifted his pant leg to take a look, casually saying:
"Had a little accident, had to amputate, but now prosthetics are made well, with daily adjustment and exercise, it doesn't really affect much."
"Just have to take meds often, a bit troublesome."
He paused for a moment after saying this.
Previously, mentioning the injury at home made everyone cautious, meeting with family and friends was met with sympathy and careful avoidance.
All well-intentioned, but it made him super sensitive, always feeling weighed down inside.
But now having worked here for just a few days, gathering together daily, regaining routine exercises, discussing future plans, and casually studying what to eat each day.
The apples and peaches on the mountain, the planned watermelons for next year, heard there's strawberries in the greenhouse...
Then going to bed early and sleeping soundly... previous phantom limb pain and other symptoms have significantly reduced.
All these things occupying their attention, injuries just didn't seem like a big deal anymore.
Chen Yuan thought it over and couldn't help but smile too.
Meanwhile, Zhang Wang's Family asked: "So you guys..."
He heard that Chen Yuan was the captain, earning more than others. Despite having an injured leg, he could still command respect, so what about the others...
"Yes," Chen Yuan nodded: "Everyone has some injuries."
Zhang Wang opened his mouth, paused, then let out a heavy sigh:
"Then do well here. The Song Family are good people, Tan Tanxin is also good, just speak up if you have any difficulties."
"Alright!" Chen Yuan laughed: "We know, it's great being together with old friends. It really is."
It's just a bit far from family and friends.
But it's okay, once the schedule is settled, we'll rotate our rests and free up some vacation time.
