Siheyuan: I just want to live

After Luo Hua quietly stepped aside, the figure who slowly walked into the office turned out to be Niu Laosan, the only one who had not yet reported to Chen Feng.

At this moment, Chen Feng always had a amiable smile on his face and asked with concern in his eyes.

"Captain Niu, why did you come to my office to see me? Is there something serious going on?"

When Niu Laosan heard Chen Feng's question, his heart tightened, but he reacted quickly. He carefully took out a small notebook from his pocket. The notebook looked a little old, but he had kept it in very good condition.

Then, he slowly handed it to Chen Feng and said with a slightly restrained look:

"Director Chen, look, this is a detailed record of our farm workers' overtime and shift work during the busy summer harvest season!"

"I came to you today specifically to give you this important record so that you can take a look at it and know the details!"

Chen Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled and stretched out his hand to steadily take the notebook handed to him by Niu Laosan. When he held the notebook, it seemed to carry a heavy responsibility.

Chen Feng casually flipped through a few pages, his eyes quickly scanning them, carefully checking the details of each record, not missing any number or notes.

After a moment, he sighed softly, handed the notebook to Accountant Guan who was standing quietly beside him, and instructed Accountant Guan in a serious tone with a hint of concern.

"Accountant Guan, you have to count these data carefully and make sure there are no mistakes. After the statistics are completed, be sure to pay the workers' overtime pay as soon as possible."

"Let them know that our farm will not let down their hard work, so that they can devote themselves to the subsequent work with peace of mind."

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Accountant Guan who was standing nearby walked forward, solemnly took the notebook with both hands, and then spoke.

"Okay, Director Chen, I will arrange for someone to handle this as soon as possible, and I will make sure the workers get their overtime pay as soon as possible!"

There was a determined light in Accountant Guan's eyes when he said this, and Chen Feng could also see that he regarded this matter as a very important task.

Chen Feng was very satisfied with this. After all, it was very good that he took the workers seriously!

Then, Chen Feng slowly turned his head with eyes full of expectation, and with a hint of concern, he asked the burly Niu Lao San beside him: "Captain Niu, do you have anything else that needs my help?"

The tone revealed respect and importance for Niu Lao San, as if he was afraid of missing out on something important.

When Niu Laosan heard Chen Feng's question, he couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart and a slightly bright smile appeared on his face.

But he still quickly shook his head and said, "Director Chen, don't worry, I really don't have anything else to do, just this one thing!"

He looked like he was afraid that Chen Feng would be troubled by other things and that Chen Feng would be dissatisfied with him.

Seeing that Niu Laosan was so determined to state that he had nothing else to do, Chen Feng nodded slightly.

Then, Chen Feng slowly turned his head and cast his gaze on the other subordinates standing beside him. He asked calmly, "Well, do you have anything else to do? If you have any, please tell me now and I will find a way to solve it."

The other people were originally listening to the conversation between Chen Feng and Niu Lao San, but when they saw Chen Feng asking themselves.

Then, they all shook their heads and said, "Director Chen, we are really fine now!"

After all, Chen Feng has only been in the job for a short time, and they don’t know much about Chen Feng’s daily style of doing things, so they are still very cautious in their words and actions.

Seeing that they were all shaking their heads like rattles, Chen Feng looked determined to show that there was indeed nothing else, so he spoke.

"Since you are all free, let me tell you something I discovered! Everyone listen and give some suggestions!"

As he spoke, Chen Feng paused for a moment and then looked at their reactions.

After hearing Chen Feng's words, several people in the office immediately spoke at the same time, "Director Chen, please speak, we are listening!"

Seeing this, Chen Feng spoke again, "This is what happened! When I went to the farmland this morning, I found that after the large harvester harvested the wheat, there were some grains of wheat left in the farmland."

"Although the amount of grain spilled per acre is not much, only a few kilograms, but this 10,000-acre farm has tens of thousands of kilograms of grain in total. Let's talk about what to do with these spilled grains?"

After hearing what Chen Feng said, everyone in the office was stunned. They thought Chen Feng was going to say something important, but they didn't expect Chen Feng to just talk about this little thing.

To be honest, they really didn't care about these little things before, but now that Chen Feng brought up this little matter, it would be bad for them not to answer.

So although everyone looked very surprised, their brains were working rapidly at this moment, trying to find a way to answer Chen Feng's question.

Chen Feng looked at the surprised expressions of the crowd, smiled slightly, and continued: "It would be a pity if these scattered grains of wheat were left alone. We have to think of a way to not let them go to waste."

After Chen Feng finished speaking, he stopped talking and just looked at them quietly, waiting for them to come up with any feasible methods.

At this moment, Director Luo Hua in the office had a gleam in his eyes and then spoke.

"Director Chen, maybe we can organize some workers to go to the fields and pick up the scattered wheat grains. Although the workload may be a bit heavy, it is much better than just watching them go to waste."

After hearing his words, before Chen Feng could say anything, Niu Laosan on the side couldn't help but interrupt.

"Director Chen, this idea is definitely not a good idea! But if we really organize people to pick up the trash, it will take a lot of time and manpower."

"Besides, even if all the workers on our farm go to pick up the wheat, they won't be able to pick up much. If it rains again, won't the wheat grains that haven't been picked up all be soaked by the rain and sprout?"

Hearing what Niu Laosan said, Chen Feng nodded and said in agreement: "Captain Niu is right. It is indeed unrealistic to ask our farm workers to pick up wheat grains."

After confirming Niu Laosan's statement, Chen Feng said to everyone, "Everyone, think about it again. Maybe we can come up with some more efficient ways to deal with these wheat grains."

At this moment, a hint of intelligence suddenly flashed across Minister Wei's usually calm face, as if a ray of wisdom had suddenly appeared, and he slowly spoke.

"I think we can use these grains of wheat that are accidentally scattered on the ground to feed the chickens and ducks on our farm!"

"In this way, not only can we avoid the unnecessary waste of precious food, but we can also create some additional value. This is killing two birds with one stone!"

Chen Feng was originally listening attentively to Minister Wei's words. After hearing this, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if two bright stars were twinkling in his eyes. He said excitedly: "Minister Wei, your idea is really very good! It's simply wonderful!"

Wei Zhibo was delighted to hear Chen Feng's praise of his ideas. It was as if a happy deer was running around in his heart, and he felt an indescribable joy.

However, before he had time to enjoy this joy to the fullest, he heard Chen Feng speak again with a little hesitation.

"But we didn't raise chickens and ducks on our farm before, did we?"

"And even if we start preparing to raise them right now, it seems a little too late considering the current time, right?"

"After all, raising chickens and ducks requires a certain amount of time to buy chicks and ducklings, and I'm afraid it's too late."

Hearing Chen Feng say this, Wei Zhibo's face, which had been filled with joy just now, seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water and collapsed in an instant.

The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he fell into deep thought...

After thinking for a while, Wei Zhibo said again, "Director Chen, although we don't raise chickens and ducks on our farm, we do raise pigs. How can we let the pigs out and let them remove the spilled wheat grains?"

After hearing his words, Chen Feng was somewhat impressed by the logistics minister's brain. In such a short time, he actually came up with two solutions. Moreover, these solutions seemed very feasible!

But at this moment, Niu Lao San, who was standing aside, retorted, "Minister Wei, I disagree with your idea of ​​releasing the pigs!"

"Let's not talk about whether the pigs can eat all the wheat grains. What if the pigs run away after being released?"

"Besides, pigs lose weight when they exercise. The amount of wheat grains they eat may not be as much as the amount they lose in weight!"

Wei Zhibo frowned, looked at Niu Laosan, and patiently explained: "Old buddy, don't be impatient. Let's not just focus on the problem that the pigs may run away or lose weight."

"Think about it, these pigs are usually kept in the pigsty and don't get much exercise. It would be good for them to be let out to run around occasionally. It might even make them healthier."

"Besides, as long as we arrange for people to watch over them, why would we let them run around? As for the wheat grains, we can't just focus on the losses."

"If the pigs can eat most of the wheat, it will be a profit. After all, it is better than letting the wheat go to waste in the field."

Niu Lao San still didn't quite agree, and muttered, "But I just don't think it's reliable. What if something goes wrong by accident?"

Wei Zhibo patted Niu Laosan on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Old brother, there is no way we can be 100% sure when doing things. We have to try to know if it works."

"If you don't try, these grains of wheat will just be wasted. Think about it carefully."

After hearing what Wei Zhibo said, Niu Lao San still said stubbornly, "Anyway, I don't agree to let the pigs out!"

Chen Feng watched the two people arguing and began to wonder in his mind what to do.
