When Qin Lin saw this conversation, he directly cursed the game planner. How could the words duckling, cute, and delicious be placed together?
The rancher quickly left after fulfilling his NPC conversation duty without a trace of reluctance.
Qin Lin also controlled his game character to enter the duckhouse.
There were indeed more than 50 yellow ducklings inside. They were very cute ducklings that would be delicious when they grew up.
He controlled the game character to put the feed given by the rancher into the feed slot. The group of ducklings ran up to eat it, eager to grow up.
When Qin Lin saw this, he retracted his attention from the game and called Chen Dabei, asking him to wait for him in the original hall with the carpenter horse master (Chapter 153).
Since he had a plan to build a duck house in reality, he naturally had to act immediately.
After hanging up, he went to Zhao Moqingâs office.
The office was still lit with agarwood incense. Lin Fen was in the office.
Wang Cai was lying comfortably to its side, its eyes narrowed as if it enjoyed the smell of agarwood incense.
When Qin Lin entered the office, Lin Fen and Zhao Moqing were chatting happily.
âWoof!â When Wang Cai saw that Qin Lin had come in and did not close the office door, it whimpered at Qin Lin and ran over to close the office door with its head. Then, it ran back and lay down again.
The last time this dog was brought into the game to learn the Frisbee skill, it became even smarter after its intelligence increased. Did it know that when the door opened, the smell of the agarwood incense would spread?
âMom, what are you talking about?â Qin Lin walked to Zhao Moqingâs desk and asked curiously.
Lin Fen explained, âI was talking to Moqing about the old residence in the village. Every old residence in the village has been renovated. Only our house and your Uncle Shuigenâs house have not been renovated.â
âBecause of our familyâs situation, your Uncle Shuigen never mentioned it. Now that youâre earning money, your Uncle Shuigen told me to hire someone to renovate the old residence for more than ten days while thereâs still some time during the new year. Iâm discussing this with Moqing.â
Qin Lin nodded and said, âMom, this is a good thing. Why didnât you tell me?â
In the past, many old houses in the countryside had two or even a few families living together, sharing the hall and courtyard.
Their family and Uncle Shuigenâs old house were the same house. The two kitchens were only two meters apart.
If such an old house was to be renovated, it would usually be renovated by a few families in the old house. Previously, Uncle Shuigen had never mentioned their familyâs situation.
To many people who came from the countryside, the old house would always be a home. No matter where they made a living or how well they lived now, the memories of the old house when they were young were the most unforgettable.
Furthermore, the older generation believed that as long as the house in their hometown was still there, no matter how painful it was to fall outside or how miserable they were, there would still be a way out and a pillar of support.
If they didnât even have their old house, they would really be rootless and have no soul to rely on.
That was indeed the case. Even if the old residence did not have the traffic and tall buildings of a big city, there would always be a moment in life when they recalled that distant mountain village. They wanted to smell the fragrance of the wild flowers and drink the sugarcane mountain spring.
This was probably their pillar of support.
When Lin Fen heard her sonâs words, she said matter-of-factly, âYou donât have to worry about this family. Moqing is in charge of the money. She can make the decision. Iâll inform you after discussing it with Moqing.â
Qin Lin smiled and said, âAlright, you and Moqing will decide on this matter. How much does this renovation cost?â
However, Lin Fen reminded him, âIt doesnât cost much. Please let your Uncle Shuigen do the math. When the time comes, our old residence will be renovated to be about the same as your Uncle Shuigenâs house. Although youâve made some money, donât stand out in this.â
âI understand.â Qin Lin understood what his mother meant. Now that many people had earned some money, they liked to compare themselves with each other in the renovation of the old residence. Many people in the same house had a good relationship, but some insisted on suppressing the other party. When they were renovating, they had to compete. As they compared, the resentment in their hearts came out and their relationship worsened.
With his current income, he could renovate the old house better than anyone in the village.
However, there was no need. If he did too well, Qin Renâs family would be too inferior. Even if they did not have that intention, it would look bad to outsiders.
Back then, with their familyâs situation, Qin Renâs family did not choose to renovate first. Wasnât he afraid that others would compare and make their family look bad?
Therefore, everyone paid the same amount of money to repair the old residence. They did not compete with each other and kept the old residence together.
Qin Lin did not forget his business and said to Zhao Moqing, âBy the way, recruit a few people who know how to raise ducks and ferment duck feces.â
Zhao Moqing asked, âDo you want to raise ducks?â
Qin Lin explained, âDoesnât the villa still have the right to use the reservoir? We have to use it. We can also raise fish while raising ducks.â
âYes, Iâll call the agent later and ask him to recommend a few people for an interview.â Zhao Moqing nodded. The villa had developed to this point, and there was also Qinglin Food Company. It was also a big employer. After the countyâs corporate guidance fund was established, just the food company factory alone would need to hire nearly 600 people.
As long as the villa had a hiring requirement, the intermediary company would serve as soon as possible.
After Qin Lin finished instructing, he left the office to look for Chen Dabei and the others.
Chen Dabei was already waiting in the original hall with Master Ma.
âSupervisor Chen, why did Boss call us?â Master Ma asked from behind Chen Dabei.
