Mini pigs were considered as one of the cherished animals.
Originally, Wang Cheng planned to trouble his little sister temporarily to look after the mini pig, but his bossâs light talk made him hesitate.
Wild cherished animals were the key protection targets of the state. May it be for hunting or breeding purposes, it was necessary to apply for a hunting or breeding license and hold a permit from the relevant departments; otherwise, it was considered breaking the law.
This was even harder to do.
âBoss, could you please do me a favor?â Wang Cheng hesitated all the way and yet, he still opened his mouth. He wanted to think about it over and over again. He could only help his little sister take care of the mini pig for a while. He could not let his little sister do something that could break the law. If his mother finds out about this, she would definitely kill him; therefore, he could only find someone else to help him apply for those two licenses. Among the people he knew, it seemed that only his boss possessed this ability.
âYou seem to have forgotten one thing.â\nâWhat is it?â
âMount Fengxia is my land now.â
Wang Cheng suddenly understood what he meant. In other words, this mini pig was also his property. He immediately mustered his courage and cheekily said, âIn that case, youâd be able to help here, Boss. This is your pig. Iâm helping your pig now. Boss, shouldnât you be able to guarantee this?â
Wang Cheng thickened his skin very smoothly and for the first time, Chu Yifeng tasted his cheekiness, especially when he heard Wang Chengâs phrase âyour pig.â Chu Yifeng was stumped for words and was taken aback. After a while, there seemed to be a subtle smile on Chu Yifengâs face.
Wang Cheng did not know whether that look on Chu Yifengâs face was a sign of consent or disagreement.
âFigures that what youâre saying makes sense.â
Wang Cheng thought to himself, was there any argument for him to speak?\nIt was noon when they returned to Guansâ Village. Mama Wang had already cooked lunch. If one stood outside, one could smell the aroma of the food that she cooked.
Wang Cheng carried the mini pig in his arms as he got out of the car. He bent over and, in all seriousness, he said to Chu Yifeng, who was inside the car: âBoss, be careful on the road. That matter will be troublesome for you.â He just fell short of one sentence that he did not speak out â I wonât ask you to stay for lunch.
If the boss was accustomed to eating exotic delicacies, he would not want to eat home-made dishes from the countryside; therefore, Wang Cheng never thought about asking his boss to stay to eat at home. Besides, he did not inform Mama Wang in advance that there was a guest, so she was not able to cook for his bossâs portion at all. In this case, it was even more impossible for him to stay for lunch.
âRemember to report to work on time tomorrow.â After leaving this sentence, Chu Yifeng drove away.
The capitalists really deserved to be called capitalists. They always think about pressing their employeesâ motivation to work. Looking at the sports carâs back end disappear from his line of sight as it went farther and farther away, Wang Cheng then turned around to go back to their house.
The mini pig that he brought back attracted his familyâs attention, especially his little sister. She would usually see the big and fat kinds of pig; however, now she suddenly caught sight of a small pig and immediately thought that it was adorable. After eating her meal, she could not wait to hold the mini pig and bathe it. She waged a bathroom battle because the mini pig did not like to take a bath. As soon as it touched the water, it immediately ran around. Fortunately, his little sister had the habit of closing the door behind her. The mini pig also could not run fast because of its leg injury. Every time it tried to run away, it was caught back by his little sister.
When they were finished doing this over and over again, Wang Cheng took his clothes off and took a bath. Just when he went out after taking a bath, he ran into Papa Wang.
\nPapa Wang apparently thought of it as well. Him hearing his second son say this sentence was also his and Mama Wangâs long time wish. Before his eyes could even get teary, he was confused by Wang Chengâs next sentence.
âDad, I got you and Mom a present.â
âWhere is it?â Papa Wang did not seem to see that Wang Cheng had a present in his hands.
âYouâll find out later.â Wang Cheng surely knew how to sell the most intriguing part in a story. He did not wait for Papa Wang to reply any more then said: âIâm tired, Dad. You and Mom should also go to bed early. Good night.â
When the door closed, Papa Wang remained confused, then he went back to his room and discussed the whys and wherefores with Mama Wang for a long time.
Wang Cheng opened his big brotherâs computer. This computer had been purchased five or six years ago already. The motherboard was like an old man getting closer and closer to the coffin. He did not know when it would die, but because it could still be used, it had not been thrown away as waste.
When Wang Cheng looked up details about mini pigs online. He realized that some of these pigs could actually be bred. Most people called them fragrant pigs. It was not necessary to hold a permit, but he also did not regret it. To have it was better than not to have it. Was this not going along with the principle âPreparedness averts peril?â
