"Then let's make it a deal. When the time comes, you can tell me something and we'll send it back. Let my old man take a look, and he'll probably be able to close his eyes in peace." Ye Xiangdong promised not to let go.
Su Xiangyu had no idea about getting married, but after all, Ye Xiangdong had helped her so much.
After sending him away, I asked the system: "He said he wanted to have a fake marriage, and you had nothing to say?"
[Let him join the army, and you can get your mysterious prize. There is only this one in the system.] The system said.
Just like Yu Lei, Su Xiangyu only knew that his hometown was in Northeast China. Where Ye Xiangdong came from or what his hometown did, Su Xiangyu had no idea at all.
She only has career in her mind in this life. Of course, she also hopes to go back to school after completing the tasks assigned by the system. It is impossible for her to get married.
Since you are not getting married, it doesn't matter whether you have had marriage experience or not.
Considering that Ye Xiangdong worked so hard for her, Su Xiangyu actually started to seriously consider whether she should help him get a fake marriage certificate to deal with the old man.
Of course, Ye Xiangdong's speed was amazing. Early the next morning, he rolled an oil drum and brought all the things Su Xiangyu needed.
Things are different now than before. When Su Xiangyu goes to work, only Yu Lei follows her.
All the female educated youth on the farm have been gathered together, making adobe bricks and building chicken coops in preparation for large-scale chicken farming. In addition, Su Xiangyu called everyone to Feng Yueba's room and showed everyone the heated kang. Everyone was very excited and started to build their own kangs.
This job is completely different from digging a karez.
Who doesn't like to transform their living environment?
And Yu Lei was also telling everyone about it with great interest.
Raising pigs does not require coal, nor does it require heating of the pig shed.
However, other people's pigs were kept as dirty as possible, but Su Xiangyu's pigs had to be kept clean. She also ordered Yu Lei and Feng Yueba to clean the pig shed once in the morning and once in the evening.
Next up is Japanese cuisine.
"This is saccharin, right, Su Xiangyu? I can't bear to eat this, are you feeding it to pigs?" Feng Yueba picked up a bag of saccharin, licked his lips and said, "Oh, I really want to eat saccharin."
Saccharin was the best-selling chemical in China in the 1960s and 1970s. It is artificially synthesized, and only one or two grains can have the sweetness of two or three pounds of white sugar.
"That's right. Saccharin is such a precious thing, why don't they give it to us but to pigs?" Yu Lei said, smacking his lips.
A group of female educated youth also gathered outside the pigpen to watch.
Su Xiangyu said: "Then let me ask you, do you like corn porridge with saccharin or ordinary corn porridge?"
"Of course saccharin is added to it. If saccharin is added to corn porridge, I can eat six bowls. But if saccharin is not added, I can only eat two bowls at most." Feng Yueba said.
"Isn't that it? You like sweets, and pigs like them too, of course. So, give the pigs three times the amount of food today as you did yesterday. Just add saccharin, and I guarantee they will eat it all up." Su Xiangyu said.
Zhu Lin came over and said, "It turns out that raising pigs is so simple. All you need to do is add saccharin to them."
"If it's not possible, you can raise them yourself?" Yu Lei was cleaning the pig manure and immediately guessed what Zhu Lin was thinking.
Zhu Lin was actually quite interested in raising pigs by herself, but after all, the news that the pigs stopped laying eggs after she fed them milk last time was still widely spread on the farm, so even if she wanted to raise pigs, she didn't dare to say much.
However, Zhu Lin was not the only one on the farm who refused to believe Su Xiangyu.
Especially the male educated youth, most of them were loyal to Feng Mingxun. Of course, they still had doubts about Su Xiangyu.
However, among these eight pigs, four sows are for raising piglets, and the four boars will be slaughtered during the Chinese New Year. After they are slaughtered, the educated youth on the farm will have to rely on them to improve their meals.
So, when the male educated youth came back from digging the karez, they all gathered outside the pigpen.
At this time, Su Xiangyu was feeding the pigs water mixed with citric acid.
"It smells really sour. Are you sure pigs will drink this?" Gao Zhanguo said.
Hong Youming, the leader of the educated youth team, also came over and said, "Su Xiangyu, can you explain to everyone why you feed the pigs this sour smelling water?"
"This is called citric acid, and it aids digestion for pigs," said Su Xiangyu.
"So that's how it is. First, feed it well, then find a way to help it digest, and it will get fat quickly, right?" Hou Yong suddenly realized, and twisted the bucket with citric acid in it: "Su Xiangyu, if you can really feed the pig to 200 kilograms, you will be our great hero, and you are not allowed to do anything else. Let us do all the rough and tiring work."
For a moment, all the male educated youth were scrambling to feed the pigs, and the skinny and small Yu Lei was almost squeezed to death in the pigpen.
This was only the first day. Pigs nowadays cannot be fed big, so the pigs certainly did not gain weight. However, Feng Yueba could testify that the food intake of the eight pigs today increased three times compared to yesterday.
Moreover, they don't waste feed, but lick the pig trough clean after eating.
In this way, fattening pigs quickly is no longer a dream.
Of course, everyone can just imagine that there will be four boars weighing 800 kilograms, and each person will get 2 kilograms of meat.
However, people often say that even if the weather is dry for three years, there will always be people who don't want it to rain.
For example, Feng Mingxun, he was the one who would never hope that Su Xiangyu would be able to succeed in raising pigs.
However, after all, the leaders of the general farm are all paying attention to the pig farming issue. Ideas like what Zhu Lin said, such as feeding pigs some chickpeas to make them have diarrhea, are of course all bad ideas, and Feng Mingxun will definitely not listen to them.
Although he was unhappy in his heart, he had to smile on the surface: "As long as Su Xiangyu can feed the pigs well, I will be happy even if everyone chooses her to be the farm manager. I won't say anything else."
However, at this time, he did not forget to praise Su Xiangxiu.
Although Su Xiangxiu's entire little finger nail was torn off, she only had it simply bandaged in the infirmary of the main farm, and then she was ready to return to the farm and continue her vigorous work.
Feng Mingxun went to pick up Su Xiangxiu himself.
In front of everyone, he was of course very serious and did not allow Su Xiangxiu to call him brother-in-law, but in private, he didn't care what Su Xiangxiu called him.
On the contrary, the more Su Xiangxiu called him brother-in-law, the more uncomfortable he felt when he thought of how Su Xiangyu had dared to announce her breakup with him in front of all the educated youth.
This discomfort constantly reminded him that he was dumped by Su Xiangyu, and she was also running for the position of field manager, and he couldn't let her do so.
"Brother-in-law, what do you see there?" Su Xiangxiu suddenly said, pointing at the snow.
Feng Mingxun stopped his bicycle, walked over and took a look. Wasn't that his oil plug?
Feng Mingxun picked up the oil plug as if it were a treasure and began to observe the surroundings of the oil plug.
There were a series of shoe prints around, but they were not the kind of rubber shoe prints commonly worn by farm workers. Instead, they looked like the prints of a pair of leather shoes.
Feng Mingxun swallowed and smiled contemptuously.
Sure enough, just as he expected, it must have been Ye Xiangdong who did it.
All the other children of Mr. Ye's first wife died, leaving only Ye Xiangdong as a son. This was because the first wife's family was also quite famous, and his uncles, especially his youngest uncle Han Shen, were about the same age.
Moreover, Han Shen was a bad person, and he was spoiled too much, which led to Ye Xiangdong's lawless character since childhood.
After Feng Mingyan came into the family, she gave birth to a pair of twin girls. They are still very young now, but it doesn't matter that the children are small. The important thing is that they please Mr. Ye more.
As for Ye Xiangdong, he has been against the old man since he was a child, and even urinated in the old man's coffee. If you talk about this, generally no one would dare to believe it.
Feng Mingxun just needs to be sure that it was Ye Xiangdong who was behind this.
Since Ye Xiangdong is not coming out, he has to write a letter when he goes back and tell Feng Mingyan everything Ye Xiangdong has done in the border town.
By then, the old man might even stop giving Ye Xiangdong his food coupons.
However, the most urgent task now is to mobilize Su Xiangxiu to get to work quickly.
After all, Su Xiangyu's "Feeding Chickens" was performed in various farms, which not only popularized the knowledge of raising chickens, but also helped Su Xiangyu win extra attention.
Fortunately, Su Xiangyu was fully focused on feeding the chickens and did not go with the performance team.
So Feng Mingxun urgently called Su Xiangxiu over, wanting her to take the spotlight off the "Chicken Raising" program.
As a result, today, Su Xiangyu actually followed the performance team to the three-point field.
Su Xiangxiu was innocent and silly, and was quite happy to see her sister going with her. But only Feng Mingxun knew how angry he was.
Zhu Lin followed behind Feng Mingxun, also looking indignant: "She definitely wanted to go to the three-point field to show off so that everyone knows that the show "Feeding the Chickens" was arranged by her."
Of course, as soon as Su Xiangyu arrived at the three-point field, she received the warmest welcome.
The performances of Yu Weiwei and Yu Lei were also widely praised by everyone. In fact, many female educated youth were secretly wiping tears, because they found resonance in the performances.
As for Su Xiangxiu and her group's performance of "I Offer Food to the Motherland", although it has some fans, it is definitely not as popular as Su Xiangyu's.
Moreover, the director and manager of the three-point court gave Su Xiangyu a warm welcome.
Even Zhu Xiaojie and Yu Weiwei were treated to oranges, but the girls from their art troupe were left out.
"Your sister is now in a big position. She must be trying to build relationships with the leaders and show off." Wang Qiushi said bitterly.
Su Xiangxiu quickly said to me: "Stop talking, my sister definitely doesn't mean that."
But the more Su Xiangxiu persuaded them, the more serious the girls' red eyes became. They looked at Su Xiangyu with almost cross-eyed expressions.
But what was Su Xiangyu doing? She first went to the chicken coop and personally explained to the keeper how to feed the chickens. Then, she ran to someone else's pig pen to look after the pigs.
Then, she found a top-notch boar, Tianshan Dabai, in the pigpen in the three-point field.
The Tianshan Large White pig is of good breed, resistant to cold, and most importantly, has a good digestive system. No matter how rough the food is, it can turn it into fat.
"Can we borrow this pig to raise for a few days so that we can breed the sows in our first sub-farm?" Su Xiangyu said to Mu Yite, the manager of the third sub-farm.
Mu Yite probably didn't expect that Su Xiangyu, a grown woman, actually knew about breeding, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
However, he also shook his hand and said, "This pig is an excellent model pig that our farm will hand over to the main farm this year and then send to the capital to win an award. Even though it is in heat recently, we don't even mate it with sows because we are afraid that it will lose weight after mating. You said mating, that's definitely not possible. Our capital's Agriculture Department is waiting to put it in the newspaper."
Feng Mingxun's second brother works in the Agriculture Department. He likes to be extravagant. Throughout the year, every farm has to evaluate outstanding educated youth, outstanding pigs and chickens, the largest pumpkins, and the rice with the most plants. Of course, it is a great honor to have it published in the newspaper.
But Su Xiangyu only knew one thing, that at this time and in this place, the most important thing for everyone was to have more meat to eat.
Regardless of how Feng Mingxun, Zhu Lin, and Su Xiangxiu's small art troupe view Su Xiangyu, this group of people might wonder.
She only knew that her pig-raising business had taken another step forward.
That's right, Tianshan Dabai, the best pig breed nowadays. If all the sows she raised could get pregnant with Tianshan Dabai, her pig farming business would definitely be able to drop a deep-water torpedo over the farm.
[Congratulations host, you have improved the breed of pigs, and the people in the border town will benefit from it soon. You will be rewarded with 100,000 gold coins.] You have lived up to expectations, the system said.
"Come on, I just know that I don't have to work or go to the fields to work, and someone will do the work for me. As for the money, can we discuss it and you give me an advance first?" As Su Xiangyu earned more and more money from the system, her appetite kept expanding. She was too lazy to swallow the buns every day. She also wanted cosmetics and two pieces of better quality clothes, instead of the cheap underwear bought at the night market and given by the system.
…
Of course, the system would not respond to her words like this.
Let's talk about chemical plants.
Early in the morning, Ye Xiangdong came to ask for his file.
"Engineer Ye, apart from job transfers and marriages, you probably won't need the files. What do you want them for?" Lu Yaxi said.
Ye Xiangdong smiled happily: "Get married, what else to do?"
Lu Yaxi looked up at him for a long time: "It can't be the girl on the farm, right? If not, forget it. If not, I support you in whatever you want to do."
Ye Xiangdong smiled, that was what he meant.
Actually, when Ye Xiangdong took everyone to Harlin Ranch to hunt and met Su Xiangyu who had fainted in the snow, Ye Xiangdong had an opportunity to go to Shenyang Chemical Industry, but he hesitated for a long time and stayed instead of leaving.
He also often went to the farm, but never went in. He just wandered around outside.
At that time, Lu Yaxi felt that Ye Xiangdong might be interested in Su Xiangyu. Looking at his current behavior, it was obvious that the intention was already established.
Of course, men and women should get married when they are old enough, and the organization will not object to men and women dating, but Lu Yaxi still has to remind Ye Xiangdong: "Engineer Ye, even if you are not from the army, if it were someone else, I would definitely let the organization review the woman's file, but I will suppress it in your case. The reason is that I hope you can stay in our border town and contribute to the construction and development of our border town. Do you understand?"
Ye Xiangdong nodded repeatedly: "I understand, but Chief Engineer Lu, you should also approve a yard for me, right? Mu Tie can't always share the dormitory and bed with me."
Yes, although Ye Xiangdong is single at present, his family is not limited to him.
Two days ago, a child came to the gate of the chemical plant, looking for Ye Xiangdong. He stood in the snow and couldn't be driven away.
Therefore, Lu Yaxi had no choice but to let Ye Xiangdong take the child in.
Right now, the child is still in Ye Xiangdong's dormitory.
"Where did the child come from? Send him back to the person he belongs to," said Lu Yaxi.
Ye Xiangdong gritted his teeth and shook his head, saying, "If I could send him away, I would have done it long ago. Facts have proved it several times. If we send him away, he will come back again. You are criticizing me now. Look, if I marry Su Xiangyu, you can get a top student from Tsinghua University to do research and development for you for free. He only makes 280 yuan a month, and I will have someone to look after my children for me, and I can have a hot meal at night. How good is that?"
Although Ye Xiangdong spoke in a ruffian tone, after all, they all grew up in the same compound.
Lu Yaxi knows Ye Xiangdong best. He is a rude person but kind-hearted. He has been running around outside since he was young and lost an older brother and two younger brothers. He has always had a special feeling for children.
Well, if we can keep a talent like him, what's the point of a yard?
So, Lu Yaxi opened the dormitory of the factory staff and started to think of ways to transfer Ye Xiangdong to another dormitory.
