Chapter 28 Ancestral

The next day was the election day, because today not only the 500 educated youth from one branch would participate in the election. This open election would serve as a model meeting for democratic elections, and even the leaders of other branches would come to visit.

The auditorium could not accommodate so many people, so the venue was set up on the large playground.

All the educated youth had a small stool, which was neatly laid out at this time. Then several conference tables were moved out from the auditorium, covered with red cloth and written with the names of the leaders. The venue was then set up.

"Don't worry, we all choose you today." Qi Dali, who once loved Su Xiangyu's performance and now worships her to bits, was sweeping the floor. He took some time to run over and said to Su Xiangyu.

Wang Hongming, the leader of the male educated youth team and one of the three candidates, actually ran over to Su Xiangyu and said, "Xiangyu, my vote will definitely belong to you."

Su Xiangyu's job was to decorate the leaders' desks, place teacups and tea leaves. Of course, her follower Mu Tie followed her all the time, shaking his head and singing "The Sky in the Liberated Area". Rarely, he even looked very proud.

"You are usually angry, why are you so happy today?" Su Xiangyu asked knowingly.

"I'm happy that Feng Mingxun is in trouble. I really hope that during the election, everyone will support you and he will only get one vote, and that vote is for himself." Mu Tie said, shaking his head.

Apparently, this guy was just like what he wrote in his autobiography, always nitpicking and extremely petty.

Moreover, because his rich godfather came yesterday, this guy has candy to eat again, and his mouth is always full of candy.

The greedy Feng Xiaoman followed behind him, probably because he was craving for candy as well, and he drooled from time to time.

This little girl is just a little fat and timid, but she is also very well-behaved. Su Xiangyu actually likes her very much.

In comparison, Mu Tie was mean and arrogant, and she always had the urge to strike a blow against this guy.

"Do you think Feng Mingxun is going to lose today?" Su Xiangyu asked Mu Tie while humming a song, spreading a red cloth, giving two of the candies that Ye Xiangdong had secretly put in her pocket last night to Xiaoman, and letting the girl go.

Mu Tie was confident: "The situation is very good. Now everyone is talking about you. No one chooses Feng Mingxun."

Holding candy in one hand and dancing with his hips twisted, he said: "Mei Gancai once scolded me and said that my mother was killed by me. She also wanted to give me to the best production team leader who fawned on her in Wulan Farm. But that production team leader was an alcoholic who liked to beat people when he was drunk. I hate Mei Gancai and I also hate Feng Mingxun. Who told him that he was Mei Gancai's son? If he loses, I will be happy, very happy."

"Then you will be disappointed. In my opinion, Feng Mingxun will never fight a battle without confidence. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. He is sure to have another trick up his sleeve." Su Xiangyu said.

Mu Tie touched his head, and the little iron head hit Su Xiangyu's butt: "Can you have some ambition, and stop always giving others the upper hand and destroying your own ambition?"

Su Xiangyu sighed deliberately: "There is no way, the enemy is not as weak as you, Mu Tie, imagined, what should I do?"

"Impossible, Feng Mingxun looks like a fool. He is far inferior to Mei Gancai and Feng Mingmei, who are always smiling but are extremely bad." Little Mu Tie said confidently.

But at this moment, the situation suddenly changed.

Because Feng Mingxun was in high spirits, he came out of the office holding a stack of newspapers.

Placing the newspaper on the conference table, he said with a smile: "Comrades, please stop what you are doing and take a look at this report. This is the honor you have earned for all your hard work."

…

Qi Dali was closest to Feng Mingxun, so when Feng Mingxun handed him the newspaper, of course he grabbed it.

"What? The front-page headline of the Border Town Daily, recording the heroic deeds of the comrades from the First Division of Chaoyang Farm in building Liancheng and digging the karez?" Qi Dali held the newspaper in his hands, trembling twice, and suddenly burst into tears: "Oh my God, there are also photos. The first person in the photo is me. This is me taking soil, and this is Gao Zhanguo swinging a hoe."

Suddenly, all the male educated youth stopped and scrambled to grab the newspaper.

Feng Mingxun smiled very restrainedly and introvertedly. He handed out newspapers one by one, looking at the excited male educated youths whose faces flushed. He had to comfort them from time to time: "Come slowly, I ordered a lot for us, so everyone can get a share."

"We're in the newspaper!"

"Director Feng actually wrote about all of us in the newspaper. No, I have to send this newspaper home tomorrow so that my parents can read it." Gao Zhanguo was so excited that he cried and spoke incoherently.

Qi Dali held the newspaper in his hand, shook Feng Mingxun's hand and said, "We misunderstood you a while ago. Don't worry about the election. A helmsman is the key to sailing on the sea, and you are our helmsman."

Gao Zhanguo was also in the crowd, squeezing towards Feng Mingxun: "Director, as long as you are on the farm, we will be your soldiers."

Although Mu Tie's little head was filled with a lot of knowledge and he knew what gross weight and net weight meant, it was obvious that he had only been working as a farmer for five or six years and still could not understand what it meant to mobilize the enthusiasm and passion of the educated youth, and what it meant to first suppress and then praise.

Of course, Feng Mingxun has more tricks up his sleeve.

After all the male educated youths had calmed down, he said, "Comrades, regarding the order for Comrade Su Xiangxiu to return to the city, I also have to explain to you. She is not returning to the city to enjoy herself or to leave us. She is returning with production tasks. She will go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University for two years of advanced studies, and then she will return to this land and work with everyone."

Everyone was already excited enough, and now he brought up the matter of Su Xiangxiu and explained it to everyone. Although the male educated youth were excited, they might have some complaints about Su Xiangxiu returning to the city so early, but at least they would not have any prejudice against Feng Mingxun because of this incident.

The situation took a turn for the worse, and the male educated youth all expressed their loyalty to Feng Mingxun.

If Su Xiangyu had not assigned Yu Lei the most important task today, requiring him to wash a few pigs clean and dress them up beautifully, he would probably have had a group fight with the male educated youth here today.

"Traitors, a bunch of traitors." Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Mu Tie was so angry that he kept jumping up and down. He grabbed Su Xiangyu's hand and kept slapping it on his head: "They are all a bunch of traitors. Before liberation, they were the ones who led the Japanese."

Fortunately, the male educated youth were tall, Mu Tieren was small, and the scene was noisy, so no one could hear what he was shouting.

Otherwise, Su Xiangyu felt that he would have to be beaten up by the male educated youth like Yu Lei.

After being angry, the little guy folded his arms, stood in the distance, and looked at Feng Mingxun coldly.

[Attention, Mu Tie is planning to commit a crime by telling the truth. If you can stop him, the system will reward him with 20,000 gold coins.] As expected, the system started to warn.

It seems that saving Mu Tie is much more advanced than saving Yu Lei, and you can get a reward of two hundred yuan for one time.

Su Xiangyu had been looking at Feng Mingxun. Although he said he was still working, he did not look in a good mental state. Moreover, he had not seen Su Xiangxiu since he got up in the morning. She felt that there must be something wrong.

Sure enough, Zhu Lin walked in from outside the farm stealthily, with her hands in her pockets. There was a layer of frost on the headscarf where her lips were.

Following closely behind him was Wang Zisheng, whose legs looked weak and his ears seemed to be blue from the frost.

These two must have been out all night last night, which is why they looked like this when they came back.

Zhu Lin said something in Feng Mingxun's ear. After Feng Mingxun heard it, although Su Xiangyu was far away, she could see that his hands were shaking.

Then Feng Mingxun went out.

Mu Tie had sharp eyes and kept looking at Feng Mingxun. He wanted to follow him, but Su Xiangyu held him back and said, "Focus on your work. Don't go anywhere."

"You'll never be elected as the farm manager if you keep doing this." Mu Tie said angrily, "Feng Mingxun is going out, he must be going to look for Su Xiangxiu, because Su Xiangxiu hasn't been on the farm since this morning. If we follow him, we can definitely find his weakness and hit him hard."

The more Su Xiangyu looked at him, the more she realized that this child was really handsome and smart, but there was just one thing about him: he was too violent.

"How about this, let's make a bet. If I am elected as the captain, you will listen to me for the rest of your life, okay?" Su Xiangyu said.

Feng Mingxun's situation is very good now. At least all the male educated youth support him, right?

So Mu Tie felt that Su Xiangyu had no chance of being elected, so he said: "I'll still listen to you. If you can be elected as the field manager, I'd even be willing to be your puppy."

"Okay, then you put these brand names in place for us first, and then we'll go home for dinner, Mu Xiaogou." Su Xiangyu said simply.

The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is. No matter how anxious Mu Tie is, it is useless. He holds the name tags one by one and points them out to Su Xiangyu, arranging them neatly.

Feng Mingxun left the farm and walked very quickly. Of course, he felt extremely unlucky. He wanted to slap himself, but was afraid of being seen by others, so he didn't dare to do so. So he just walked very quickly.

There were farmlands all around, with some straw piles here and there. When Feng Mingxun walked to a pile of straw, he saw two shoes huddled in the corner. He didn't dare to move forward. He took out a pack of cigarettes, squatted on the spot, and started smoking.

It was none other than Su Xiangxiu.

He risked losing the trust of all the male educated youth and helped Su Xiangxiu return to the city. Then last night, Su Xiangxiu was leaving and was about to say goodbye to Su Xiangyu.

As luck would have it, she learned from Ye Xiangdong that he had liver disease.

Yes, he does have liver disease. If you say his liver disease is inherited from his ancestors, no one would believe it.

But his liver disease was really passed down from his mother. Except for his eldest sister Feng Mingyan, who was not infected because the old lady had good physical condition at the time, all the other children had it. His eldest brother died of this disease.

Not only him, but also his second brother and sister, as well as several of their children and their families.

It's just like a nightmare, with the disease spreading from one person to another. Now the whole family has liver disease, and the children are all suffering from it. If they need a minor surgery, they have to wait until night time and the doctors will only dare to perform the surgery on their children after they have finished performing surgery on others.

Because their blood is contagious.

It was also because of this that although Su Xiangyu had been asking for marriage since two years ago, Feng Mingxun did not dare to get married. He always wanted to cure his illness, and then marry Su Xiangyu and have children.

Besides pursuing a career, who wouldn't want to marry a wife and live together?

As for the kiss with Su Xiangxiu, Feng Mingxun, who had armed himself with knowledge, also had his own explanation.

Su Xiangxiu wanted to go back to the city so much, but now on a farm, there are only one or two places to go back to the city each year. If he helps her go back, isn't that repaying the favor?

He had heard that in many farms, in order to get the female educated youth to return to the city, some farm managers and directors who were older than him would secretly act like hooligans.

He just kissed her once, so it's highly unlikely that the virus would be contagious, right?

A man who was nearly thirty years old, the other party took the initiative, and he also knew that he didn't have to take responsibility, so he did the thing in a daze. Before the incident, Feng Mingxun didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Of course, he is in pain now, extremely painful, but do you want to say that he regrets it?

Feng Mingxun actually didn't regret anything, because he knew that he would die sooner or later, and that he would die earlier than anyone else. Just for this reason, he didn't regret it.

Su Xiangyu was too lazy to wait for him. It was bad luck for him that she married someone else.

He lived to be twenty-eight years old, but he kissed a girl on the lips, and the next day, the girl found out that he had liver disease. How could this man be so unlucky?

Feng Mingxun wanted to go over and comfort Su Xiangxiu, but he didn't dare to go. If he didn't go, he was afraid that Su Xiangxiu would freeze to death outside.

Just when he was in a dilemma, he saw Su Xiangxiu staggering up from the snow pile.

"I want to go back to the city, now." She said this very briefly.

What else did Feng Mingxun dare to say at this time? Of course he said, "It's done. The matter of returning to the city has been settled. You can leave now."

Su Xiangxiu's body was still covered with a layer of white frost. She exhaled and said, "Luckily my sister didn't marry you, you are simply a piece of shit."

After taking two steps, she turned back and spat on Feng Mingxun's face.

Of course, Feng Mingxun immediately took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his face clean.

It seemed that as long as he wiped his face clean, the ridiculous things he did yesterday could be wiped off.

Private matters are private matters, and he can't let this make him forget that he still has to run for field director today.

Su Xiangyu dared to break up with him and even dared to run for farm manager with him. Feng Mingxun felt that he had to teach her a lesson and let her know whether the farm belonged to Feng or Su.

At this time, Ye Xiangdong, who was busy with experimental work and unable to get away, went to the capital to hold a report meeting. Of course, the person who brought him there was Xiao Wang, the county government's public driver.

Of course Xiao Wang doesn't need to attend the meeting, he just needs to sit in the car and listen to the radio.

Ye Xiangdong is a very busy man. Not only does he work in a chemical factory, he also has a lot of things to do outside. When the meeting is over and the leaders haven't left yet, he uses the excuse of being busy at work and rushes out.

Of course, he was not going to work, but was going to take Xiao Wang with him to make some money.

Su Xiangyu thought that Ye Xiangdong only made money by rolling a bucket and selling eggs, but in fact, his bucket could be used to roll not only eggs, but also many kinds of daily necessities. Moreover, except when he sold eggs to Su Xiangxiu, he needed to do it himself, but at other times, all the traders in Er'er County were his subordinates.

In his mind, he has a clear account of what each farm has and what that town lacks. All the traders in the county rely on him to make big money.

Look, the two of them drove at lightning speed, and after three hours, Chaoyang Farm was already in sight.

The shuttle bus from the capital, which had set out three hours earlier than them, also happened to stop at the farm.

"Xiao Wang, stop the car." Ye Xiang suddenly called out.

Xiao Wang stepped on the brakes and asked, "What's going on?"

"Wait a minute..." Ye Xiangdong looked out the window, squinted for a while, and suddenly cried out, "I'm afraid my wife is doomed today?"

"Why?" Xiao Wang was confused.

Ye Xiangdong was still looking out the window. Outside, an old lady in her sixties got off the bus. She was wearing a mink hat on her head and a sheepskin coat with the wool turned inside out. Inside was a brand new suit. There was a pen stuck in the lapel of the sheepskin coat.

Just seeing those glaring eyebrows made Ye Xiangdong's heart skip a beat.

His step-grandmother, Feng Mingxun's mother, Mei Gancai, the former production director of Chaoyang Farm, got off the bus with a look of high spirits on her face.
