He hopped on the bicycle that had been with him for many years.

The bicycle chain made a creaking sound.

Chen Dong rode his bicycle along the familiar road toward the chicken farm.

Along the way, he breathed in the fresh air, felt the gentle breeze, and was filled with anticipation for the chicken farm.

Upon arriving at the chicken farm, Chen Dong carefully parked his bicycle in the nearby shed.

He had just stepped into the gate of the chicken farm when he was spotted by two busy women.

These two women work hard at the chicken farm every day and have long remembered what Chen Dong, the big boss, looks like.

They immediately put down their tools, their faces beaming with warm smiles, and hurried over to greet her.

"Mr. Chen, you've finally arrived!"

One of the slightly plump women said with a smile, her wrinkles crinkling into a smile.

They got together.

“Yes, Mr. Chen, our chicken farm feels much more vibrant since you came,” another tall, thin woman chimed in.

Chen Dong replied with a smile, "Hello, aunties. You've worked hard these past few days. I've come to check on the recent situation at our chicken farm."

"It's no trouble at all, it's what we should do. Please wait a moment, we'll go and inform Sister Chen right away."

After the plump aunt finished speaking, she and the tall, thin aunt hurriedly walked towards Chen Meiju's office.

Not long after, Chen Meiju walked over with light steps.

She was wearing a simple work uniform, her hair was neatly tied back, and her face was beaming with a warm smile.

Upon seeing Chen Dong, she immediately quickened her pace, opened her arms wide, and said, "Dongzi, my good nephew, you've finally come! Your second aunt has missed you so much!"

Chen Dong greeted her with a smile, gave his second aunt a big hug, and said, "Second Aunt, I missed you too, so I came to see you."

Chen Meiju took Chen Dong's hand and led him into the office, saying, "Come on, let's go inside and have some water. You must be exhausted from the journey."

In the office, after exchanging a few pleasantries with his second aunt, Chen Dong smiled and asked to see the current situation of the chicken farm.

Chen Meiju said with a smile, "I'm just helping you manage this chicken farm. It's all yours, Dongzi. You can look at it if you want. Why are you being so polite with your second aunt?"

Chen Dong smiled and said, "Second Aunt, please don't say that. You own one-tenth of the shares in this chicken farm, so you're one of the owners!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Meiju smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits, and said, "Dongzi, you are so sensible, you know how hard your second aunt works."

"Okay, then your second aunt will show you around."

Afterwards, Chen Meiju led Chen Dong out of the office and began to tour the chicken farm.

Upon entering the chicken coop area, one is greeted by the continuous clucking of chickens, creating a unique symphony.

Compared to just 500 chickens six months ago, the chicken farm has now expanded to 800 chickens.

The vast majority of them are hens, and laying hens at that, so for the time being, they make a profit by selling eggs.

As Chen Meiju walked, she introduced, "Dongzi, look, these hens are all our precious darlings."

"The most profitable part of raising chickens is the hen, which can both lay eggs and be sold, and the hen can also be sold after it has been raised for at least a year and a half."

"Our eggs are very popular in the market now, and many regular customers specifically request our eggs."

Chen Dong listened and nodded, carefully observing the situation inside the chicken coop.

He saw hens strolling leisurely in the henhouse, some pecking at food while others rested on the side.

The chicken coop was kept very clean and well-ventilated, providing a comfortable living environment for the hens.

Then, Chen Meiju talked about her management plan: "Dongzi, I'm thinking of waiting until the number of laying hens and roosters reaches 1000."

"By raising broiler chickens specifically for selling chicken meat and gradually transforming and expanding our business, we can take our income to the next level."

"However, we have to take it one step at a time and not be too hasty."

Chen Dong listened and wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "Second Aunt, you've thought this through so well. I knew entrusting the chicken farm to you would be the right decision. Thank you for your hard work."

At this point, Chen Meiju's expression changed slightly, and she told Chen Dong with a hint of apology.

"Dongzi, there's something I need to tell you."

"In the past six months, because we relied solely on selling eggs and were also trying to expand our business, our total net profit after deducting taxes was only eight thousand yuan."

The figure of 8,000 is because among the initial 500 chickens, some adult hens and roosters were able to lay fertilized eggs and hatch chicks.

The 300 additional hens that followed were all acquired in this way; they were not purchased as chicks.

They also sold about a hundred roosters.

After hearing this, Chen Dong calculated in his mind that it would be about 1,300 yuan per month.

This income is significant for 361 Inc., which sells both antivirus software and game cartridges.

For someone who can earn one or two million in six months, it's really nothing.

The salary of a team leader in the company's programming department is one or two hundred yuan higher per month than this.

But he also understood that in Nanjiang County, the average wage was still around two or three hundred yuan.

For a chicken farm of this size to generate this kind of income is already quite considerable, far exceeding that of wage earners.

So Chen Dong smiled and comforted her, "Second Aunt, please don't say that. This is already very good."

“In our Nanjiang County, having such an income is already quite remarkable.”

"You've worked hard these past few days, and our chicken farm is still in the development stage. It will definitely get better and better in the future."

Hearing Chen Dong's words, Chen Meiju felt relieved and said gratefully, "Dongzi, it's good that you understand your second aunt."

"Second Auntie will definitely work hard and try to make more money for our chicken farm."

In the living area of ​​the chicken farm, the afternoon sun shines freely on the ground, bathing everything in a warm yellow glow.

Chen Meiju's face was full of enthusiasm, and her radiant smile shone on her face, which bore the marks of time.

She grabbed Chen Dong's arm, her tone full of affection and joy.

"Dongzi, come with your second aunt to the living area, let's have a good chat."

As he spoke, he pulled Chen Dong toward the tin-roofed wooden shed.

This shed stands quietly in a corner of the living area, and from the outside it does look rather simple.

The corrugated iron roof gleamed coldly in the sunlight, and the wooden walls were slightly mottled.

But when they entered the shed, the scene inside was a pleasant surprise.

The floor was spotless, and a few simple tables and chairs were arranged neatly.

Although the tables and chairs were old-fashioned, they were wiped clean and there wasn't a speck of dust.

In the corner, a small kitchen cabinet stood steadily, its door half-open.
