On the fifteenth day of April, before the sky had even brightened, the entire Sixth Production Brigade knew that a wall of the Ruan Family had been knocked down by a huge wild boar. Many people came to gawk, and there were plenty who made snide remarks—considering current meat prices, a big wild boar represented two or three "big unity" bills!
That's what some people earn in a year, yet their family just picked up such a big pig for nothing. They're so lucky.
Of course, there were also those who said it was an ill omen. Otherwise, why did it not run into someone else's home, but instead the Ruan's?
Regardless of what the others said, the Ruan Family started to get busy as soon as it was light, and many villagers spontaneously helped with slaughtering the pig.
Ruan Jiaojiao sat on a long bench, holding an egg and eating it. The adults in the Ruan Family were busy, her brothers were as well, leaving her free to have breakfast here.
