Chapter 38 Let's Talk About Orders Again

"Is this a jeep? It's quite different from the tractor on our farm. The driving feel is completely different." Su Xiangyu got out of the car and said in everyone's surprised eyes.

Every farm has several tractor drivers, and Su Xiangyu is one of the female tractor drivers at Chaoyang Farm.

Most people have never driven a car and think it is similar to a tractor, but Ye Xiangdong knows that tractors and jeeps have two completely different systems, even when it comes to steering and braking.

So, Ye Xiangdong looked at Su Xiangyu with a puzzled look.

Of course, Su Xiangyu also has her own explanation: "The clutch is indeed difficult to step on, so I couldn't get it right at the beginning, but after all, I have driven a tractor before, and I was able to find the brakes at the critical moment. I think I should be the kind of person who is particularly sensitive to cars."

This is no joke. In her first life, Su Xiangyu was engaged in real estate development in the 1980s. During the busy construction period, she even drove an excavator. A jeep was no problem for her.

Although Ye Xiangdong was frightened, he obviously believed this explanation.

But at this moment, Feng Mingxun came over angrily, sneered, and said, "Xiangdong, you collected the honey from Bart's family, right? The county has been cracking down on speculation these days, and it is said that Bart has been called to the militia for questioning. Why don't you drive to Harlin Ranch and ask about this matter?"

Speculation and profiteering is Ye Xiangdong's old business, and the militia has been cracking down on this.

If Ye Xiangdong really wants to go to Harlem Ranch, he will have to expose himself.

Feng Mingxun deliberately said this in public, actually he was still trying to trick Ye Xiangdong to see if he would go to the ranch.

Ye Xiangdong is not stupid, how could he be fooled?

He grinned, his lips red and teeth white, and suddenly hooked his finger and said, "Uncle, come here, let's talk outside."

Feng Mingxun sneered: "You think I don't dare? You are just taking advantage of me and you think you are right."

Originally, he was a little shorter than the tall and thin Ye Xiangdong, and when he patted Ye Xiangdong, it was like an older brother patting his younger brother.

But just as the two were about to leave, Su Xiangyu suddenly slapped Feng Mingxun in the face: "You shameless man, aren't you just jealous that I drive your car and steal your limelight? Are you feeling suffocated and uncomfortable here? You can leave now, what's the point of being so unreasonable? Let my husband go!"

"Su Xiangyu, I'm talking about serious matters!"

"The real thing is that you think I deserve to be your workhorse. You're jealous and envious of how loving Ye Xiangdong and I are. But I tell you, I only love Ye Xiangdong and not you, so get out of here." Su Xiangyu slapped him again.

Feng Mingxun was both stunned and shocked. He probably didn't expect Su Xiangyu to be so aggressive for Ye Xiangdong. He gritted his teeth and muttered, "Let's wait and see," and left angrily.

Not to mention how excited Ye Xiangdong was, the other educated youth felt that Su Xiangyu's fierce attitude in protecting her husband was really worth a car, so amid everyone's cheering, the two returned to their room.

Following Su Xiangyu back to the house, he saw Su Xiangyu eagerly grabbing the keys. It was obvious that she loved the jeep so much. Ye Xiangdong smiled and said, "Even if you don't need me to teach you how to drive, you still have to enter the bridal chamber. Otherwise, I won't give you the keys."

Ye Xiangdong hesitated to give it to Su Xiangyu until her face turned pale with anger. Then he said, "But I'm still busy today. I have to go back to the chemical plant to work overtime. I'll give you the car first. I'm leaving now."

When the young man left the house, he stretched out two fingers, saluted in a dashing manner, and left amid the laughter of the educated youth.

The young man with white teeth and red lips looks so free and easy.

In fact, although Ye Xiangdong was guilty of many crimes in his first life, the police had always wanted to arrest him, but they had no evidence or witnesses to testify against him.

Ye Xiangdong's former henchmen all had teeth harder than iron. They took all the blame on themselves and would never speak.

At that time, it was the Feng Mingxun brothers who volunteered to gather a group of people from the border town to the capital, and used all means to convict Ye Xiangdong.

At least in Ye Xiangdong's eyes, Feng Mingxun is a villain.

But Ye Xiangdong did not admit defeat. The group of people who bullied him were targeting the illegal money he earned, and they would do anything to get that money.

But after they convicted him, they found out that Ye Xiangdong had donated all his money to the Red Cross and the Charity Federation several years ago. It was all in vain, and that was what they were talking about.

The next day, a truck from the county government came to pick up bricks. Five thousand bricks filled a whole truck. Su Xiangyu escorted the truck and delivered the goods to the county party committee. Secretary Wang paid her the full 150 yuan at that time.

Ji Huaiguo had just called Mei Gancai to the hospital yesterday and scolded him severely. When he heard that Su Xiangyu had sold her first batch of bricks, he rode his bicycle to the farm to praise Su Xiangyu. Of course, he also had some other things to arrange.

"This is a letter sent by Professor Han Shen from the Political Science Department to give us guidance on our work. We have to build a house for him. It must be a brick house, and his room must be built according to the drawings he drew himself. It is said that he will bring a flush toilet with him when the time comes, and you, have to instruct the comrades in the field to renovate the drainage of the flush toilet. Comrade Han Shen is willing to come to our branch field, which is an honor for our branch field, so Comrade Su Xiangyu, you must take this matter seriously." Ji Huaiguo said.

The reason why Su Xiangyu got involved in real estate in her first life was because Han Shen studied architectural design when he was in college.

That guy is self-confident about his talent and hands-on ability, and he really knows how to enjoy life.

Of course, he was also very good at making money, living a luxurious life, and enjoying life. Even in the most difficult times, his living standard never dropped.

The person hasn't arrived yet, but he asked her to build a house for him?

According to the drawing, one room belongs to the students of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, one room belongs to Zhu Xiaojie's father Zhu Bin, and the largest room on the drawing belongs to the department head Han Shen.

Sure enough, he even drew a separate spot for the flush toilet.

Su Xiangyu took the blueprint and said, "Don't worry, Director Ji, I will definitely build a good brick house for our Professor Han."

But it's hard for Su Xiangyu to say whether it's comfortable to live there or not.

After all, Su Xiangyu was determined to drive him out of the farm in two days.

"But Manager, how are we going to account for the money from selling bricks? After all, we have started selling bricks now. You have to give me a definite answer about this money. Do I have the authority to use it or how to spend it?" said Su Xiangyu.

Ji Huaiguo thought, it's just one hundred and fifty yuan. Yesterday his wife scolded him for a long time and told him not to be too harsh on Su Xiangyu. After all, she is just a young girl and there is no need to force her at work.

"Just keep this in your branch farm's small treasury. You've worked hard to earn more than a hundred dollars, and it would be too much for the main farm to take some of your money." Ji Huaiguo.

"What if I can sell it for thousands or tens of thousands of dollars?" Su Xiangyu said.

It was really difficult for Ji Huaiguo to hit Su Xiangyu. After all, the girl worked so hard, and he couldn't just say that in his opinion, she was only doing this one business deal at most, right?

"I'll keep it all for you. You decide how to spend it." Ji Huaiguo said, and left in a hurry.

The next stop for Su Xiangyu to sell bricks was the chemical plant.

When Mu Tie heard that Su Xiangyu was going to sell bricks at the chemical factory, he couldn't hold back his joy and told Yu Lei about it. Originally, he thought this was a bit mysterious, after all, the chemical factory had factory buildings and they lived in dugouts, so they didn't need bricks.

Besides, Lu Yaxi's wife Huang Liang is a beautiful and picky woman. In short, she is a woman who is not easy to mess with.

Who knew Yu Lei would say something like, "My sister-in-law can understand chickens and pigs talking, so I think selling bricks to Director Lu should be no problem."

Can you understand chickens talking? Forget it!

Mu Tie finally understood that Yu Lei was a big fool.

Meanwhile, Su Xiangyu was racking her brains to prepare her own gift for the guest.

Lu Yaxi's wife Huang Liang is also a female comrade from the capital. It is said that she is also an old employee of the General Staff compound. She also returned to the capital during the Chinese New Year. This proves that she must have heard about the various deeds of "Su Xiangyu" from Feng Mingyan.

After all, Mei Gancai's family has a tradition of liking to stir up trouble, especially for people that her family doesn't like.

So, what should I give as a gift?

This gift must make both Lu Yaxi and Huang Liang happy, and they must agree to buy her bricks together.

Ye Xiangdong worked overtime all night and came to pick up Su Xiangyu in the evening.

But when he saw Su Xiangyu, he frowned: "You probably have to change your clothes. Lu Yaxi is fine. My buddy, he is his sister-in-law, a more serious lesbian. I like you wearing this, but I can't guarantee whether she will like it."

Huang Jing, in everyone's limited knowledge of the chemical factory, was the most beautiful woman in the factory. As for her personality and temperament, not only Su Xiangyu, but even Ye Xiangdong, who was very familiar with her, did not understand.

But Ye Xiangdong knew one thing, that is, Huang Liang never liked women who were more beautiful than herself.

And Su Xiangyu is a girl who is younger and prettier than Huang Liang.

If she really wanted to do business with the chemical plant and make Huang Liang like her, she had to dress more low-key.

"This is the uniform I wore on the day I ran for field manager. Since we're talking about business, I have to wear it just to get a chance to win." Su Xiangyu said, throwing her two long, shiny black braids behind her.

Ye Xiangdong was steering the wheel. No matter how he looked at Su Xiangyu, she was so beautiful. He smiled and said, "If you are really in a hurry to get the bricks, I can help you get them. It will take three to five days. Believe me, I will help you get them no matter how much you have."

He knows a lot of businessmen and has plenty of resources. If he really wants to help Su Xiangyu, he certainly has plenty of ways to do it.

However, asking him to produce bricks would be considered speculation.

Feng Mingxun's second brother is still in the Ministry of Agriculture, and Feng Mingyan is eyeing him covetously in Beijing. Although Ye Xiangdong has a group of good brothers who are willing to fight for him and rebel for him, he also has villain enemies like Feng Mingxun who may bite him at any time.

If he is not careful, that group of people may accuse him of speculation and economic crime.

Since Su Xiangyu is tied to him, he certainly can't ruin their future for a few small amounts of money.

At least she couldn't let Ye Xiangdong, who had saved so many families, die without a complete body.

At Lu Yaxi's home, Lu Yaxi was cooking by himself, while his wife Huang Jing was lying on the sofa with a few slices of cucumber on her face.

"Su Xiangyu, isn't that Feng Mingxun's ex-girlfriend? I have a good relationship with his sister Feng Mingyan. When he returned to Beijing a few days ago, we sat together and chatted." Huang Ying said.

Lu Yaxi is a very gentle man. He patiently explained, "We are not married. What's wrong with dating and breaking up?"

"This proves that the female comrade's will is not firm. After all, Xiangdong's conditions are much better than Feng Mingxun's. She is trying to climb up the social ladder. This makes Feng Mingyan very uncomfortable. During the New Year, she kept talking to me about this." Huang Liang added.

Feng Mingyan, the leader's wife, has a soft tone and speaks in a low voice. She is very particular about the way and technique of speaking, but when it comes to discrediting someone, she is as good as a coal miner.

After all, it was his colleague's wife who came to visit, and Lu Yaxi kept persuading her: "Control your temper when you see Su Xiangyu. Now, wash the cucumber off your face."

Just then, someone knocked on the door, and Lu Yaxi hurried to open it.

"Little Mu Tie seems to have grown a lot taller." Lu Yaxi said when he saw that it was Mu Tie who came to greet him at the door.

Then, he winked and said, "Jingjing, hurry up and pour tea for the guests."

Huang Liang stood up lazily. She didn't have a good impression of Su Xiangyu to begin with, but suddenly she cleared her eyes and exclaimed in her heart: What white skin.

Living in a border town, with wind and sand blowing every day, not many people can maintain good skin.

Huang Liang is very good at skin care and is confident that in the entire chemical factory, even the family members who stay at home every day have skin better than hers.

However, Su Xiangyu's skin was actually better than hers.

The cucumbers were so frightened that they fell off.

"How about having dumpling soup tonight? We, as childless people, are not very particular about food, but we have instant noodles at home, so let's cook a packet for Mu Tie." Lu Yaxi said, holding the spoon.

Unlike Ye Xiangdong who only deals with theories, Lu Yaxi is a cutting-edge scientist who directly comes into contact with harmful chemicals. These scientists are constantly exposed to harmful radioactive elements and are unhealthy themselves. Of course, their lifespans are much shorter than those of ordinary people, so they choose not to have children.

People who don't have children are particularly casual in their lives.

"Dumpling soup, is it made with white flour? I can smell the scent of white flour, it smells so good." Su Xiangyu said after taking a deep sniff.

Just now, Lu Yaxi was feeling embarrassed because his cooking skills were limited and he could only make a dumpling soup. Su Xiangyu's words relieved his embarrassment.

"It's white flour. I also added chili oil. Let's eat chili oil mixed with dumpling soup." Lu Yaxi said quickly.

It's not that Su Xiangyu wanted to do some tricks, but she saw Lu Yaxi using chopsticks again and again, making the lazy bumps as big as eggs. If she cooked them, it would definitely be a dark dish.

So when she saw a colander hanging on the wall of Lu Yaxi's house, she took it down and said, "Director Lu, how about this? It's too tiring for you to cut the lumps one by one. I have a way to save trouble. Let's cook them all at once, okay?"

Lu Yaxi was already sweating profusely while cooking, and he didn't know when his dumpling soup would be ready. Huang Liang, with cucumbers all over her face, was watching beside him.

Su Xiangyu washed her hands first, took the dough, kneaded it all into the colander, and then pressed the dough with the spoon. The dough in the spoon immediately swam into the pot like a small fish.

These small, white and tender dough lumps are certainly not called lazy lumps. They have a nice name, called dough fish.

"This trick is really powerful. Where did you learn it from, Comrade Xiao Su?" said Lu Yaxi.

Su Xiangyu smiled and said: "My mother passed away when I was very young. I have been cooking for myself since I was a child, so I cook well."

"Then isn't Mr. Ye lucky?" Lu Yaxi glanced at his wife. Although he didn't dare to complain about his wife who couldn't cook, his envy of Ye Xiangdong was evident in his words.

After putting the lazy bump into the pot, Su Xiangyu washed her hands and came out of the kitchen.

Mu Tie was waiting for the instant noodles Huang Liang had prepared for him. As a child, he was petty and didn't give the noodles to others, but he had to quietly feed Su Xiangyu a mouthful and asked quietly, "Aunt Su, aren't we here to sell bricks? Why did you stop cooking halfway through? I think Aunt Huang doesn't seem very happy. Should we behave well in front of her?"

"Lü Yaxi is the factory director, and I am also the field director. He is the deputy director, and I am the director. Mu Tie, remember this: even when doing business, you cannot achieve your goals by begging others at any time. That would lower your status. We must do business while standing, and we cannot do business by kneeling like others. Even if we succeed in doing business while kneeling, it will not make people feel good."

When Su Xiangyu was happy, she was happy to teach her little rascal a lesson.

She was a guest and also the manager of the farm. She was a leader at the same level as Lu Yaxi. Since she wanted to do business with him, she had to maintain her demeanor.

Mu Tie looked as if he had suddenly realized something. He quietly opened the bowl of toilet paper and said, "Let's not eat that disgusting dumpling soup. Let's have instant noodles together." In the eyes of the child, instant noodles are the most delicious.

What a pleasant surprise! I didn't expect that he would be able to have a packet of instant noodles while being a guest.

This little guy is worthy of being a child from an educated family. Although he was craving for instant noodles, he didn't eat them in advance. He didn't pick up his chopsticks until Lu Yaxi brought out the dumpling soup from the kitchen and the adults started eating.

Huang Liang, who was so scared that the cucumber fell off her face, washed her face on the table outside and then went into the living room with anger on her face.

Lu Yaxi also noticed that his wife was unhappy.

He stepped on her lightly with his foot and gave her a look that indicated for Huang Liang to pretend to be happy.

However, facing Su Xiangyu, who was only eighteen years old, with two long braids that were shiny and sleek, and two big eyes that looked at him so brightly, and she was not shy at all and had no intention of lowering her head.

How could she be happy?
