It was already very late when we returned to the first branch.
Su Xiangxiu's art troupe left in Feng Mingxun's jeep, while the few educated youth who had performed had to walk back in the snow.
Xu Wenli was particularly happy today. She took out an orange from her pocket and handed it to Su Xiangyu.
"Today, the manager of our three-point field told me that as long as you dare to run for election, he will support you. He gives this orange to you," said Xu Wenli.
There are not many fruits in the border town. Having an orange in winter is like eating gold.
Su Xiangyu broke off a petal for Zhu Xiaojie and also broke off a petal for Yu Weiwei.
"Oh my God, when will our Xiangyu become the field manager? Then we can sleep well and eat well." Zhu Xiaojie shouted at the back of the jeep.
"That's right. If Xiangyu hadn't broken up with Director Feng, we could have taken a ride in the jeep. I hope Director Feng can be the site manager and Xiangyu can be the director. Then I can go back to the city tomorrow." Yu Weiwei said.
Well, they are still Su Xiangyu's bad teammates.
Of course, the environment is still bad and the educated youth still have no food to eat. In order to complete the mission, Su Xiangyu has to keep working hard.
For three consecutive days, she asked Yu Lei to run the three-point court every day. Yu Lei was a simple-minded person and didn't know why Su Xiangyu asked him to go to the three-point court. Moreover, he found that the food she fed the pigs recently was a bit strange.
She made a special trip to the Harlem Ranch and asked Bart for some epimedium. She boiled it with safflower and mixed it into water, then mixed it with the feed for the sows, but did not allow the boars to eat it.
After eating it for several days in a row, several sows became seriously irritated and rubbed their butts against the wall all day long. It was even more exaggerated that they had to look to Yu Lei to feed them. They wished they could stick to him.
And several boars could be seen rubbing their bodies with fat.
"What did you feed them? Can I have some?" Yu Lei smelled the medicinal scent of Yinyanghuo and wanted to taste it.
"Eat it. If you eat it, you will definitely be fatter than Feng Yueba." Su Xiangyu said.
Well, when Yu Lei thought of Feng Yueba's chubby appearance, he immediately closed his mouth.
Finally, that night, it was another moonlit night with few stars, strong wind and dark sky.
The young girls in the art troupe were suffering from not being able to return to the city, and they lay in their warm beds and sighed.
Feng Mingxun racked his brains, hoping that Su Xiangyu's pigs would not grow strong, but Su Xiangyu finally had to go out again.
She should have taken Yu Lei with her.
But firstly, she had to guard against the bad deeds of the depressed Zhu Lin, and secondly, as the book says, a horse cannot grow fat without night grass, and a pig cannot get fat without night food.
If you want a pig to gain weight, you have to feed it at night.
Feed once at nine o'clock in the evening, then again at two in the morning, and once again at four in the morning.
In this way, the pigs can grow fat quickly, just like they are expanding.
Leaving Yu Lei to help Feng Yueba feed the pigs at night, Su Xiangyu came out of the farm and went straight to the chemical plant.
Just outside the chemical plant, she had a small whistle hanging around her neck. She and Ye Xiangdong had agreed to go out together to do some work. As long as she was ready, she just had to blow the whistle.
So, on a windy and cold day, Su Xiangyu took out the whistle from her neck and blew it a few times.
Sure enough, after a while, Ye Xiangdong came out of the chemical plant gate wrapped in a large cotton-padded coat.
Although Su Xiangyu lived for nearly seventy or eighty years in these three lives, she was a lesbian after all, and some things were difficult to say, so she wrote them down in a small notebook and handed them to Ye Xiangdong to read.
When Ye Xiangdong heard that she not only didn't say anything but also made a small notebook, he thought it was quite interesting.
However, halfway through, his brows furrowed.
"You mean the boar in the third farm is in estrus, and the sows in your first farm are also in estrus under your care? So, you plan to drive the sows in your farm out of the third farm, and then let me steal the boars from the third farm, and then force them to mate?" Ye Xiangdong said.
"Yes, but no." Su Xiangyu said, "When the sow is in heat, the boar can smell the smell from a long distance away, and the boar in the three-point field is also in heat now, so you just need to open the pig pen, and the boar will follow the smell to find the sow to mate. When the time comes, you just need to drive the sow to the three-point field and then open the boar's fence."
Ye Xiangdong looked at the paper, then at Su Xiangyu, probably thinking, how on earth does a little girl like her know what a pig's estrus period is?
"That's a clever idea, but do you think the two of us can drive four sows to the three-point field?" Ye Xiangdong said.
Su Xiangyu had planned it long ago: "I have prepared the ropes. I will tie the four sows to one rope. You lead them and I will be in front. As long as I hold a few cabbages, I will not worry about them not chewing on the cabbages and heading to the three-point field."
"People are worse than pigs." Ye Xiang suddenly said.
"What do you mean?" Su Xiangyu said.
Ye Xiangdong originally wanted to say that there was only one boar, and four sows braved the cold weather and ran to the farm to find it. As a gay man, he had never touched a lesbian's hand.
"I don't mean anything." He said quickly.
However, Ye Xiangdong said, "Of course your idea is good, but I have a better one. So, you go back to the farm and wait. I will find a way to get the boar for you. Is that okay?"
His voice was a little hoarse, and he smelled of milk and urine. In short, he looked very slovenly. Su Xiangyu felt that he must have had a hard time recently, so she said, "How about we go together? If you can't carry the boar, I can help you."
She thought that Ye Xiangdong must want to carry the boar directly to her farm for sowing.
Although a boar weighs only 150 to 160 kilograms, how much does an adult man weigh? And he is not fat and looks quite thin.
This man worked in a military factory, but refused to join the army. In order to exchange for a military coat, he was almost shot by a gangster with a homemade rifle. In short, he was a mystery to Su Xiangyu.
"No need, I can go alone." Ye Xiangdong coughed twice, and there was even a whimper in his voice.
To be honest, Su Xiangyu had met many people in her two lives, but she had never met anyone as simple and warm-hearted as Ye Xiangdong, so she said, "Are you probably sad for your father again?"
"Let me tell you this, my mother died a long time ago. I have several uncles from my mother's family who treated me very well, but now they are all wandering around the world. My mother is a stepmother who treats me and my grandfather badly. Now my grandfather is dying, and I am still in this far away place. I guess my stepmother is still torturing him. I feel uncomfortable. I will walk alone in the Gobi Desert and cry a few times, and I will feel better."
It sounds really touching.
Although Su Yao's father treated Su Xiangyu very well, he would have a stroke in the near future, and there would be no filial son by the bedside of a sick father for a long time. At first, Yue Hongling treated him well, but after he had been ill for several years and was dragging on to die, and he refused to give Yue Hongling the property certificate and the deposit, Yue Hongling was too lazy to care about him.
On the day when Su Xiangyu returned to Shencheng, Yue Hongling pushed Su Yao out of the house and directly put him at the train station. What Su Xiangyu saw when she got off the train was her father who had suffered a stroke and frozen to death in the cold wind.
However, Yue Hongling had planned everything, but she did not expect that Su Yao had hidden the house property certificate, his ID card, and his written will in his underwear. It was not until the police performed the autopsy in the morgue that he took those things out and gave them to Su Xiangyu.
I don't know how he, a patient, sewed the interlayer and how he hid things, but in that pair of hard underwear, he hid all his life's belongings.
For couples who get married later in life, their hearts are only given to each other on the surface, but their real hearts are with their children.
When Su Xiangyu returns to Shencheng in the future, she will have a house to live in and the original capital to do business, which is not unrelated to the inheritance left to her by Su Yao when he died.
As for the elderly, no matter how they treat their children in normal times, when they are dying, what they care about most are their own children.
Su Xiangyu lived two lives. She loved her intellectual parents in her second life. Although she couldn't love Su Yao, he was the only one she felt guilty about.
Because she had a father like Su Yao, the lie Ye Xiangdong told actually resonated with Su Xiangyu.
"I'll make you some hot food. When I bring the pig back, I'll give it to you." Su Xiangyu said.
It was the middle of the night, freezing cold, and going to the three-point field took an hour, which should be considered a run.
Ye Xiangdong was wearing his majestic military coat, just like Jing Ke. When he left under the moon, he sobbed twice, which sounded quite tragic.
Su Xiangyu watched him leave and had to walk back to the farm in the snow.
In the middle of the night, Feng Yueba and Yu Lei finished feeding the pigs and went back to the house to sleep.
She now has a separate dormitory. When she entered the dormitory, she turned on the light and asked the system for some things.
Since the weather was so cold and Ye Xiangdong was trying to catch a boar for her, Su Xiangyu decided to be nice to him.
"Bring a plate of braised pork, a bottle of Niulanshan Erguotou, and two dishes of side dishes. When Ye Xiangdong comes back, I will let him have a meal of meat." Su Xiangyu said.
[In this era, you can eat braised pork, otherwise you will probably be exposed.] The system actually said.
"Then give me spicy crayfish. If you don't give it to me, I will go on strike starting today." Su Xiangyu said angrily.
[Host, please stop giving the system problems. Try something else.] The system said.
After bargaining with the system for a long time, the system finally gave Su Xiangyu some roasted chestnut-flavored sweet potatoes and five-spice peanuts. However, the Red Star Erguotou she asked for was not given to her by the system because it did not suit her identity.
Of course, when Ye Xiangdong came back again, Su Xiangyu came out of the house as soon as she heard the footsteps.
In her imagination, Ye Xiangdong must have tied up the boar and carried it back.
But I didn't expect that Ye Xiangdong was just an empty-handed person.
He was alone and hadn't even stolen the boar, so how could he be worthy of the chestnut-flavored roasted sweet potato that she had just gotten from the system?
"Where are the pigs?" Su Xiangyu said.
Ye Xiangdong was mysterious. He took out a syringe from his arms, showed it to Su Xiangyu, and then said, "If your sow gives birth to piglets, they will all be my children. Do you understand? I am the father of all the piglets here."
[As expected of someone who can promote economic change, he actually used artificial insemination.] Even the system sighed.
Su Xiangyu probably understood that Ye Xiangdong had directly taken the boar's sperm, and now he was going to use a syringe to perform artificial insemination on the sow.
He is really amazing, but from this moment on, Su Xiangyu can't look him in the face. What should she do?
Moreover, she kept wondering how this guy got sperm from the boar?
Is he now the wife of the boar or the husband of the sow?
At this time, the sow was sleeping soundly and Su Xiangyu was waiting in the house. Ye Xiangdong was really efficient. After a while, he was knocking on the door and shouting that he wanted to wash his hands.
Of course Su Xiangyu had already prepared water for him, but unfortunately for her washbasin, she had to get a new one starting tomorrow.
"Why doesn't your soap have any smell? But it does clean my face very well." Ye Xiangdong said while rubbing the soap.
A piece of MUJI facial soap costs fifty dollars, which is worth a human life.
Because she couldn't use facial cleanser, Su Xiangyu bought a piece of MUJI facial soap. Unfortunately, starting tomorrow, she couldn't use this soap anymore.
"Why does this sweet potato smell so good?" After taking a bite of the sweet potato, Ye Xiangdong covered his mouth.
When the system didn't say that he would promote economic reforms in the future, Su Xiangyu didn't actually pay much attention to him. But now when she looked at him again, she found that this guy was really handsome.
Moreover, although he appears to be quiet on the surface, he really does things in an organized manner.
"Here are some peanuts and the milk I made. Do you want some?" Su Xiangyu then handed the peanuts and milk to Ye Xiangdong.
Ye Xiangdong rubbed his hands, stared at Su Xiangyu carefully for a while, and suddenly turned his eyes away.
Su Xiangyu thought to herself, is this guy crying again?
As expected, Ye Xiangdong sighed and said, "Think about my dad lying alone on the big kang in the countryside. I don't know if my stepmother has lit a fire for him. I don't know how long it has been since he last had a roasted sweet potato."
The roasted sweet potatoes with chestnut flavor taste as sweet and sticky as small pumpkins. This thing will be very expensive in the future. Of course, Ye Xiangdong enjoys it more and more as he eats it.
"How about this, let's find a time to get a certificate and send it to my grandfather, okay?" Seeing that Su Xiangyu was still hesitating, Ye Xiangdong said again.
It's not that Su Xiangyu is cruel, but she really doesn't have time now.
"How about this, let's wait until all my sows are pregnant, then we can go get the certificate, okay?" Su Xiangyu finally said, "Your father has been dragging on for so long and hasn't died yet. I'm sure he won't die for the time being."
Ye Xiangdong suddenly grinned, looking like laughing and crying at the same time: "I told you, our elder sister Su is really loyal."
"After your father passes away, we will get a divorce certificate?" Su Xiangyu said again.
Ye Xiangdong clapped his hands on his thighs, his face full of sorrow and seriousness: "That's for sure, how could I possibly hinder your future, right?"
