Chapter 19 Puberty

When I took off my shoes, I saw that my little toe had been hit by the stove and flew off.

Su Xiangxiu bit her lip and repeatedly said that it was okay for her, but Wang Qiushi and Zheng Chunyu didn't think it was a big deal.

"Director Feng, our leader's foot was hurt. Should he be sent to the hospital?" Zheng Chunyu said anxiously.

The entire nail was blown off and the little toe was covered in blood, so of course it hurt.

But Su Xiangxiu bit her lip and said, "After all, this is in the border town, not in Shencheng. It doesn't matter if I die. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to see my sister and brother-in-law get married."

If she hadn't said that, with Feng Mingxun's personality, he wouldn't have thought that this was a big deal and would have just let it go. However, because Su Xiangxiu said that, Feng Mingxun decisively took out two dollars from his pocket.

Su Xiangyu abandoned him, but Su Xiangxiu still calls him brother-in-law.

Without hesitation, he called Wang Hongming, gave him two dollars, and asked him to drive the tractor to take Su Xiangxiu to the medical room of the headquarters to bandage her wounds.

Of course, he also had to give red scarves to Su Xiangyu's small group. After all, this was an honor given by the headquarters, and he had to hand it to the female educated youth personally.

"Those female educated youth stole our red scarves. They must be so proud that they're floating to the sky." Wang Qiushi said angrily.

Zheng Chunyu rolled her eyes. Of course, in her opinion, Su Xiangyu must wear a red scarf and dance the yangge dance around the whole farm.

Of course, when Feng Mingxun went to present the red scarves on behalf of the headquarters, Zhu Xiaojie and Yu Weiwei were almost overjoyed.

Especially Yu Weiwei, as the heroine, the general field also rewarded her with a notebook to record things.

Zhu Xiaojie felt a little regretful. She was much prettier than Yu Weiwei, and she just acted a little smart and didn't dare to go up herself. Now, the first honor went to Yu Weiwei.

However, she was very happy that the girls in the art troupe envied her for once.

"What's a small Japanese notebook? We have plenty of them." Wang Qiushi said, and Zheng Chunyu immediately nodded in agreement.

But the honor was unparalleled, especially when Feng Mingxun announced in front of everyone: "Starting tomorrow, your show will be performed in all venues. Of course, daytime work can be exempted as appropriate."

Recently, just because Yu Lei was angry, Hou Yong stopped helping Yu Weiwei, so it was very difficult for her to dig the well by herself.

Now, she was fired from her job?

In an instant, Yu Weiwei felt the honor of being the heroine.

However, no one could find Su Xiangyu anywhere.

"If Su Xiangyu knew this, she would be so happy, right?" Wang Qiushi said in a low voice.

Zheng Chunyu curled her lips and said, "Fortunately our leader went to the infirmary of the headquarters, otherwise, I think she would have blinded our leader's eyes with that red scarf."

Feng Mingxun was holding a red scarf, feeling quite nervous. He had always known that Su Xiangyu was very talented and intelligent. Of course, if she wasn't talented and intelligent, he wouldn't have chosen her to be his partner among all the educated youth on the farm.

Of course, in his opinion, she wanted to run for the position of field manager just to get some attention.

This farm has been the work of his father and his mother. He had to work his way up from branch manager to general manager. To say that she wanted to be a branch manager was simply a joke.

Just yesterday, Feng Mingxun was still waiting for Su Xiangyu to come back.

But today he didn't want to think about it at all.

After all, he was going to be a high-ranking official in the future, and the wife of a high-ranking official couldn't have the experience of raising pigs.

When a woman says she wants to break up, she is actually just bragging. The relationship between men and women has always been dominated by men. Feng Mingxun has always refused to admit that they had broken up, but until yesterday, he officially broke up with Su Xiangyu from the bottom of his heart.

After all, who would date someone who used to raise pigs?

Of course, he wanted to see what Su Xiangyu had done to herself in the pig shed, so he led everyone to the pig shed.

However, when everyone found the pigpen, they were all stunned.

What did the pig shed look like in the past?

Feng Yueba's pigsty is a place where even dogs don't go.

Because it is too dirty and too smelly.

But why are the pig pens now so different from before?

It is noon now, the sun is shining brightly, and of course, it is also the time in the border town when people can wear gauze at noon. All the pigs are in the fence, and each one has shiny black fur, looking very majestic.

In the pig manure pit that no one except Feng Yueba dared to enter, Yu Lei was flushing it with water to wash away the filth, and the cement slab surface was exposed.

As for Su Xiangyu, she was directing Feng Yueba to weigh the pigs.

"Xiangyu, you..." Feng Mingxun had an illusion for a moment. How come Su Xiangyu, who was engaged in pig farming, looked much more beautiful than yesterday?

"A red scarf? I have to be excellent." Su Xiangyu said, unfolding the scarf to take a look, and immediately wrapped it around her neck.

Qi Dali immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Beautiful, really beautiful, Su Xiangyu deserves this award of excellence."

The bright red scarf and the snow-white Gobi Desert were such a perfect match and so eye-catching that Qi Dali simply couldn't take his eyes away.

He even wanted to bring his father's camera and take a few pictures of Su Xiangyu. He guaranteed that every frame in the film would be so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off it.

"Stop raising pigs and go back to do something else." There was actually some tenderness in Feng Mingxun's tone?

Looking at the look of his eyes, it is obvious that he also likes women to dress up beautifully and his eyes like to chase beautiful women.

But she is to be treated like a workhorse.

Every time Su Xiangyu thought about how she would fall in love with such a man in her first life, she would curse herself as an idiot.

[Warning, the host must not accept any honor in reality.] At this moment, the disappointed system said.

It's just a red scarf, but the system won't let her claim it as her own?

Several girls from the art troupe were also standing on the snow with their arms folded.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Su Xiangyu walked up to Wang Qiushi holding a red scarf and handed it to him: "Is it beautiful? Do you like it?"

After all, in front of everyone, Wang Qiushi had to smile and say that he liked her. After all, it's not good to fall out in front of others, right?

"If you like it, I'll give it to you. But, don't run to the chicken coop in the middle of the night and don't steal eggs from the chicken coop. I know the girls in your art troupe have never suffered. When you come to a place like the Gobi Desert, you want to eat good food and make yourself comfortable. But, since you were born in a new society and grew up under the red flag, even if you are reluctant in your heart, you must have the awareness of enduring hardship and put hedonism aside. I'm giving this red scarf to you. Go and exchange it for some eggs. Don't steal eggs in the future." Su Xiangyu said, patting Wang Qiushi's face.

It's a pity that Su Xiangxiu is not here today, otherwise, Su Xiangyu would have criticized Su Xiangxiu in public.

What a group of innocent and lovely little girls! Don't they understand that the reason why Yu Lei dared to kill the chicken was all because of them?

What?

The girls from the art troupe actually wanted to steal eggs?

And Su Xiangyu gave them her scarf just to exchange it for some eggs?

Su Xiangyu's sentiments were so noble that in the eyes of the educated youth, the halo that had long been surrounding the girls in the art troupe instantly dimmed.

Of course, Feng Mingxun's expression also changed: "You actually stole eggs to eat? Wang Qiushi, is this true?"

"We didn't…" Wang Qiushi was about to explain, but Feng Mingxun immediately said, "Starting tomorrow, all of you will follow the male educated youth to work in the karez."

"Director, we really don't have it..." Wang Qiushi stared at Yu Lei: "Yu the chicken keeper, tell me yourself, do we have it?"

If Yu Lei admits that there was, he will be criticized, but if he says that there was no, he was scared by these girls yesterday. He scratched his head, screamed, and turned away.

Let's not talk about how Feng Mingxun would criticize the girls in the art troupe.

And Su Xiangyu's pig-raising business began in this vigorous manner.

Unlike the last time when no one paid attention to her raising chickens, it was heard that she could make pigs twice as fat as they were now within a month. Not only did the warehouse manager Zhu Lin say it was impossible, but even the director Ji of the general farm specially asked the publicity officer Zuo Qing'an to come over.

"It doesn't matter if you can't make the pigs fat. It's enough that you have this intention. We are a farm and we don't plan to run a breeding factory. We don't think of increasing production by raising pigs, okay?" Zuo Qing'an said.

Su Xiangyu said sincerely: "How can that be possible? If I can't feed them well, Director Ji won't vote for me."

She is going to be the site manager, so of course she has to keep her word, right?

When Su Xiangyu sent Zuo Qing'an out of the farm, he stopped and rummaged in the briefcase he always carried with him for a long time, then took out two tickets and handed them to her: "Leather gloves ticket, this is specially given to you by our Director Ji. For this, you have to work hard."

"I will definitely live up to the expectations of my leaders," said Su Xiangyu.

In fact, she now has a pair of rechargeable and heated leather gloves, but because they are not in line with the times, the system does not allow her to wear them during the day. She can only wear them at night to enjoy them, and her hands are still cold during the day.

With the ticket for the leather gloves, she can take out the gloves and wear them.

That way, when people see her wearing leather gloves, no one will ask where the gloves came from, right?

In an era when supplies were so scarce, a pair of gloves was hard to come by.

"In order to get this pair of gloves from the farm manager, I will make the pigs gain 100 kilograms in weight within a month." Su Xiangyu said while waving the glove ticket.

[The good value increased by 10.] The system said.

Zuo Qingan held Su Xiangyu's hand and said, "I don't know how to praise you, my little comrade."

A few stupid teammates, Zhu Xiaojie, Yu Weiwei, Xu Wenli and others, helped Su Xiangyu decorate her new house, and they were so happy.

Only Zhu Xiaojie was a little unhappy: "Xiangyu, can you let me play the leading female role next time? I think I'm prettier than Yu Weiwei."

After all, Yu Weiwei was used to being suppressed by Zhu Xiaojie, so she blushed and said nothing.

Su Xiangyu immediately pointed at Zhu Xiaojie's nose and said, "You said that yourself. If you don't play the leading role next time, I won't do it."

After a pause, she continued, "The next show will be 'Pig Farming'. If you can't play the role of a female pig farmer well, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

Yu Weiwei immediately covered her mouth and laughed.

Zhu Xiaojie immediately slapped herself: "Ouch, my mouth is so stinky."

Xu Wenli, who had always been a coward, also came over and said, "How about, Xiangyu, you also act as an actor for me?"

This girl has never had a biological father since she was a child. She was sexually assaulted by her stepfather when she was young. She suffers from mild depression and has been on the verge of suicide. If Su Xiangyu is rescued once, she will get fifty dollars.

Since when has human life been valued in terms of money?

"Starting tomorrow, you will be the announcer of the tour," said Su Xiangyu.

What this girl needs most is self-confidence, she has to give her a push.

Xu Wenli was so excited that she started rubbing her hands.

Of course, after sending them away, there was still Yu Lei who refused to sleep next door.

"Come on, lie down and I'll tell you a story." Yu Lei actually took out a handful of shelled peanuts from his pocket and put them in front of Su Xiangyu: "A female educated youth gave them to me. Let's eat them together."

[Host, come on. Right now, Yu Lei has nothing else in his heart except raising pigs. Of course, in his heart, even pigs are not as important as you.]

"Yu Lei, have you ever thought about having a boyfriend?" Su Xiangyu said.

Speaking of this, Yu Lei was filled with anguish: "Let's not talk about it. I have no curiosity about other female comrades now. I just want to keep you."

[Note, Yu Lei is in adolescence. If you treat him with a little kindness, he will definitely fall in love with you.] This system that cares about the country and the people, is it afraid that Su Xiangyu will seduce Yu Lei?

"Yu Lei, there is an old saying that goes, 'Books contain golden houses and beautiful women.' Do you still remember how many female educated youths pursued our Director Feng back then?" Su Xiangyu ignored what the system said and continued.

When Yu Lei recalled the time when Su Xiangyu and Feng Mingxun had not yet confirmed their relationship, there were many girls chasing after Feng Mingxun in Chaoyang Farm. His eyes suddenly lit up: "Many, I remember a lot, some girls even secretly embroidered insoles for him."

Su Xiangyu fished out a third-grade textbook from under her pillow, handed it to Yu Lei, and said bitterly, "Do you know that when I first liked him, I liked him so much that I almost kissed him?"

"How could you, bah bah bah! You didn't kiss me, right? Otherwise I would beat Feng Mingxun to death." Yu Lei was so angry that he almost jumped up.

"Why don't you understand? Girls like men with knowledge." Su Xiangyu sniffed, sighed, and said again.

…

In Yu Lei's eager eyes, Su Xiangyu said earnestly: "Because he has read a lot of books and has a high level of education, all the girls like him. If you dare to read more books, I guarantee that the girls chasing you in our farm will line up in a long line."

Yu Lei is a big boy, and young men naturally want to be liked by girls and want many girls to like them.

And what Su Xiangyu said made a lot of sense. He held a textbook in his hand and didn't even eat the peanuts. He went to his room next door to read with the book in his arms.

"Damn system, do you think I'm the kind of playboy who would mess with a little boy?" Su Xiangyu rolled her eyes at the sky, stretched out on her warm kang, and fell asleep.

When Ye Xiangdong was called over again, it was already the evening of the third day.

Time is money, but he actually wasted two days on Su Xiangyu.

"Comrade Ye Xiangdong, what's wrong with you? I called you two days ago. Why are you here only now?" Su Xiangyu said.

"Oh, our family has been receiving telegrams one after another. From what my mom said, my dad may only live in a few days. How can I not be anxious?" Ye Xiangdong said dejectedly.

Although Su Xiangyu only cared about her pig farming business, she still had to comfort Ye Xiangdong: "People are born, grow old, get sick and die. This is a very normal thing. Where is your hometown? Why don't you go back and visit the old man?"

Ye Xiangdong wiped his face and said, "The Northeast is still far away, and our chemical factory is busy with tasks, so we can't go back. Now the old man doesn't ask for anything, just ask me to send him a marriage certificate so that he knows that I have a family."

Su Xiangyu didn't want to talk about this with Ye Xiangdong anymore. Although she couldn't bear to see him look so dejected, she still took out the list she had made from her pocket and handed it to Ye Xiangdong.

"Copper powder, glucose, baking soda, calcium potassium?" Ye Xiangdong lowered his head and read quickly. Well, these are chemicals. Their factory basically has all of these things. And when Lu Yaxi heard that they were going to be given to the farm, he agreed.

"Sister Su, can we discuss this? How about this, you and I get a marriage certificate, and then we can have a fake marriage to comfort the old man first." Ye Xiangdong said.

Su Xiangyu thought she was smart all her life, but she was also confused for a moment. After thinking for a long time, she said, "How about this, I'll think about it. You bring me all the things you need to prepare first."

"By the way, you should have no contact with Feng Mingxun anymore. In my opinion, if you break up, you should do it completely. That guy is not a good person. Stay away from him in the future." Ye Xiangdong said again.

Of course, Zhu Lin and Feng Mingxun, those two guys, wanted to be superior to others in the border town, and also because the old man of the Ye family had scolded and warned them not to say that Ye Xiangdong was his son, they could not publicize Ye Xiangdong's identity to prevent Ye Xiangdong from doing evil things in the border town by pretending to be the second generation of the family.

However, Ye Xiangdong was still a little worried that his lie was so good that Feng Mingxun would expose him with just one word.

But Su Xiangyu was obviously stupid enough, and said seriously: "The relationship between Feng Mingxun and me is just like yours, we only talk about work, not feelings."

Well, Sister Su is still a silly little girl.
