PFC Chapter 116 Something Happened at the Pig Farm
Chapter 116 Something Happened at the Pig Farm
Surprisingly, this small car could accommodate nine people of all ages!
Zhao Yuan drove slowly around the village, then another group of people would take over and drive around again. After repeating this process many times, he finally satisfied all the villagers who wanted to experience the feeling of driving a car.
At this moment, Uncle Zhao San stepped forward. This neighbor of Zhao Yuan took a puff of his pipe and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Zhaoyuan, you've really struck gold! Fortune changes every thirty years, and you're already driving a car so quickly?"
This remark drew laughter from those around him, and Li Dawen joined in the jeering:
"Zhaoyuan, you're really on a roll now, don't forget to treat us!"
Upon hearing this, everyone echoed in agreement, shouting in unison:
"Treat us to a meal! Treat us to a meal!"
Unable to refuse, Zhao Yuan could only nod repeatedly, indicating that he would treat everyone to a meal.
And so, everyone gathered around the car and chatted for a while longer before finally dispersing.
Zhao Yuan left Li Yong behind, instructing Yu Hongmei to help him familiarize himself with the pig farming situation, and then drove to the city.
Zhao Yuan first went to Tengfei Fireworks Export Company. As soon as Zhao Yuan got out of the car, he saw Zhang Hua coming out of the fireworks company with an unhappy look on his face. As soon as he saw Zhao Yuan, he immediately greeted him with a big smile.
"Brother Zhao, you're back."
Zhang Hua walked up to Zhao Yuan with a smile, a hint of ambiguity in her eyes.
"Wow, Brother Zhao, this is your car, it's so beautiful."
Zhang Hua walked to the car.
Zhao Yuan smiled somewhat awkwardly. He knew Zhang Hua's feelings, but he had always treated her like a younger sister.
"Yes, I just finished dealing with some things. What's wrong? You don't seem very happy," Zhao Yuan asked with concern.
Zhang Hua pouted and said in a coquettish tone:
"It's just some small things at work. But seeing you, Brother Zhao, has instantly cheered me up. Brother Zhao, I'd like to quit my job and work for your company."
"That won't do. My company is just a small operation, and we can't afford to support someone as important as you. Let's not talk about this anymore."
Zhao Yuan shook his head helplessly; he didn't want to dwell on this topic for too long.
"By the way, Brother Zhao, are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner and have a chat," Zhang Hua said, seizing the opportunity to extend an invitation.
Zhao Yuan wanted to refuse without hesitation, but he didn't want to directly refuse Zhang Hua.
"I have something to do tonight, how about another time?"
Zhao Yuan said tactfully.
Zhang Hua was clearly disappointed, but she still forced a smile and said:
"Okay, let's meet again next time. I'll remember that."
After saying that, she turned and left with a hint of reluctance.
Zhao Yuan didn't take the matter to heart. He turned around and went to the company to inquire about the preparation of the goods ordered by Wilson and his team. After learning that everything was progressing smoothly, Zhao Yuan left the fireworks company.
The next morning, the sun shone on the earth, and a gentle breeze swept across the fields.
The people of Zhao Family Village get up early to begin their day's work.
Meanwhile, the piglets transported from the Provincial Agricultural University had arrived in Zhao Family Village.
Zhao Yuan was about to drive back to Zhaojia Village when he saw Zhou Jieyuan rushing over.
Zhou Jieyuan said to Zhaoyuan with a look of anxiety:
"Zhaoyuan, something's happened at the pig farm! You need to go back and check on it right away!"
His voice carried a hint of panic.
A sense of unease welled up in Zhao Yuan's heart:
"What happened?"
He stared intently at Zhou Jieyuan, hoping to get more information.
"After feeding the pigs this morning, they started acting strangely. I don't know the exact reason. They were fine last night, and they were fine before I fed them today. I had already consulted Veterinarian Wen before I came here."
Zhou Jieyuan said, panting.
Zhao Yuan immediately realized the seriousness of the problem:
"Okay, let's go back and check it out."
After saying that, he quickly jumped into the car, started the engine, and sped off towards Zhaojia Village.
When Zhao Yuan returned to the village, he first went to the new pig farm.
There, the trucks carrying the pigs had arrived, and Li Yong was busy directing the unloading of the pigs.
Zhao Yuan carefully explained some precautions to Li Yong to ensure that the piglets could enter their new home safely and comfortably.
He then drove home.
At home, Yu Hongmei, Zhao Sanhai, and Veterinarian Wen were all busy around the pigsty.
Zhao Yuan quickly asked, "What happened? Hongmei?"
Yu Hongmei turned her head and looked at Zhaoyuan with a worried expression:
"I don't know. These pigs started vomiting and having diarrhea after eating breakfast, and some of them can't even stand up."
Her eyes were filled with anxiety and worry.
Zhao Yuan frowned and walked to the pigpen to check the situation. He saw several pigs lying on the ground, listless, occasionally letting out weak grunts.
Zhao Yuan's heart sank; this was clearly not normal.
"What about the veterinarian? Has he diagnosed the cause?"
Zhao Yuan turned to ask Yu Hongmei.
At this moment, the veterinarian Wen walked over, shook his head, and said:
"It's not certain yet, but the initial assessment is that it might be food poisoning or some kind of illness. Further tests are needed to confirm."
Zhao Yuan's expression turned serious. He knew the situation was grave; if it wasn't resolved in time, the pigs could suffer significant losses.
"Veterinarian Wen, please determine the cause of the disease as soon as possible and take appropriate measures. In any case, we must protect these pigs."
Zhao Yuan said firmly to the veterinarian.
Veterinarian Wen nodded, indicating that he would do his best.
Zhao Yuan felt a heavy weight on his heart, as if a huge stone was pressing down on it. If it were just ordinary pigs getting sick, it would be impossible for such a large number of pigs to fall ill in such a short time.
This situation seems more like poisoning. He frowned, turned to Yu Hongmei, and asked seriously:
"Hongmei, did anything unusual happen last night?"
Yu Hongmei frowned, trying hard to recall the events of last night, and after a long while, she answered:
“No… Oh! I remember now, last night after we lay down to sleep, we suddenly heard the dogs barking very intensely. Zhao Jieyuan and I quickly got up to check, but we didn’t find anything unusual. The pigs were also lying quietly in their pens, and everything seemed normal. So we went back to sleep, and nothing else unusual happened afterward.”
Zhao Yuan nodded, then asked:
"So, which feed tank did you feed the pigs today?"
Yu Hongmei led Zhao Yuan to the fermentation feed vat and pointed to one of them, saying:
"This is it."
Zhao Yuan turned to the veterinarian and said:
"Veterinarian Wen, treat it as poisoning. I'll go out for a bit."
After saying that, he quickly drove away from the farm.
Not long after, Zhao Yuan drove back, with two policemen in the car.
After they got off the bus, they began to inquire carefully about the situation at the farm.
Upon learning of the situation, the police immediately launched an investigation.
