Chapter 41 The Ex-husband is Here

Since the child has a fever, it is of course impossible to have the bridal chamber ritual.

But after the couple spent a night on the same kang, Ye Xiangdong was in high spirits the next day.

I also have to say something to Su Xiangyu: "I slept very well last night, and I'm sure you slept well too."

He was quite gentlemanly on the kang. He didn't grab the quilt or take up the warm spot. He left the warmest spot for her and Mu Tie, and slept in the coldest spot himself.

"You know, your uncle Han Shen is coming, and the venue asked us to hold a welcoming ceremony. What kind of ceremony do you think is appropriate to welcome him?" Su Xiangyu said.

Su Xiangyu had met her ex-husband from her first life five years earlier, and she was quite looking forward to meeting him.

Anyway, she guaranteed that she would be able to drive him away from the farm in two days!

Ye Xiangdong had been busy in the laboratory for half a month and couldn't keep up with the situation outside. He stood at the head of the kang and looked outside, saying, "Is he going to come to your farm?"

The Chinese New Year was in February, and now it is March. It is almost time for spring planting, the ice and snow have melted, and the peach blossoms are about to bloom.

Of course, the sow is about to give birth.

Su Xiangyu poured all the remaining egg soup from last night into the pig food bowl, pointed to the row of red brick houses outside and said, "We have already built the brick houses they will live in after they arrive. All that's left is to put on the roof, and then we'll just wait for them to come."

A row of red brick houses, because there was no cement on the farm, they were built with bricks and mud, and then the seams were filled with whitewash, which looked very impressive. This was the residence that Su Xiangyu prepared for Han Shen.

Speaking of Han Shen, Ye Xiangdong would have to think of the fear that he was always trying to steal his girlfriend away.

Moreover, in just half a month, Han Shen has to live on Su Xiangyu's farm?

"My uncle definitely can't live here, so I'll just let him live in our dugout. When you go to pick him up, I'll go with you." Ye Xiangdong said.

"Then let's go to the county town together the day after tomorrow." Su Xiangyu agreed to this matter very readily.

Once he left, Su Xiangyu only had to wait for people from the chemical plant to come and buy bricks.

The person who came from the chemical plant was Huang Liang, after all, she was in finance.

Considering the unpleasant experience last time, the smart little Mu Tie was very worried that Su Xiangyu would have a quarrel with Huang Liang.

Wang Hongming had dealt with the chemical plant before. When he heard that Huang Liang was coming to buy bricks, he rubbed his hands together and said, "Oh, Accountant Huang from the chemical plant is a difficult woman to deal with. She gets angry easily. You don't even know how you irritated her. Let's be careful when we speak, so as not to say the wrong thing and make her angry."

Of course, several farm officials stood at the gate, ready to welcome new customers.

Unexpectedly, Huang Liang, who was always serious and never smiled, was smiling today. As soon as she entered the farm gate, she gave Su Xiangyu a big hug.

"How many bricks do you have?" Huang Liang asked.

"That depends on how much you want. We'll work harder and it'll only take a week to produce 100,000 bricks," said Su Xiangyu.

Huang Jing was in finance, so she was good at accounting. She immediately said, "Then spend 100,000 yuan first. I'll give you a week, so the total is 3,500 yuan. I'll give you a deposit of 500 yuan. How about that?"

"Logically speaking, for such a large amount, we need a deposit of at least one thousand yuan, but five hundred is fine. After all, you are my husband's colleague." Su Xiangyu said this generously. Was this equivalent to doing Huang Liang a favor?

After the two finished discussing business under little Mutie's puzzled look, they actually put their heads together and went to talk in private.

As she was talking, Huang Jing said, "By the way, do you still have the ointment you gave me last time? Can you buy me some? Look at my skin. The reason why it's getting better lately is thanks to this ointment."

A business worth more than 3,000 yuan, a bottle of cosmetics Su Xiangyu must send: "Yes, but you have to wait, you go back first, I will write a letter and ask my dad to send you a bottle from Shencheng."

Huang Liang hugged Su Xiangyu again, counted out 50 big unity pictures, and said goodbye to all the cadres when she left.

After this, Wang Hongming was almost about to give Su Xiangyu a thumbs up and say that she was capable.

Even Zhu Lin, who had always disliked Su Xiangyu in private, had to pout and say that this woman was really good at selling things and no one could compare to her.

Selling bricks is a career that cannot be stopped, and the work assigned by superiors must also be done.

Rehearsal of the welcome ceremony, directed by Su Xiangyu, starring Fan Yiping, who squeezed out other candidates with his butt.

Zhu Xiaojie hid away and didn't show up, and Yu Weiwei and Xu Wenli were unwilling to come up, so this gave Fan Yiping a good opportunity to take on the responsibility alone.

The program that Su Xiangyu arranged for Han Shen was so passionate and corny.

After receiving an order worth more than 3,000 yuan, not only did the farm become rich overnight, but the male educated youth also had to roll up their sleeves and work overtime day and night.

However, when everyone was working, the most discussed topic was the capital working group that would soon arrive at the farm.

"You don't know, but I know Han Shen. He is the last disciple of the architectural giant Lin Huiyin. He is not an ordinary person. It is said that he has a very bad temper and is a mysophobia. I am afraid that the temple on our farm is too small to accommodate his big Buddha." Qi Dali said.

Yu Lei was not happy: "No matter how powerful you are, can you be as powerful as my sister-in-law? She can make hens lay eggs every day."

"Others can engage in industrialized planting, but the eggs laid by your hens are nothing!" said Qi Dali.

Yu Lei was so angry that a wet brick that was about to be used to make a model was instantly stuck on Qi Dali's face.

Of course, what awaited him was a beating from Qi Dali.

However, while the two were fighting, they heard little Mu Tie shouting, "My godmother said, if you keep your mouth shut and work hard, you can go to the county town to eat mutton soup the day after tomorrow. If you don't keep your mouth shut, just work here peacefully. She won't take you to the county town!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickened their pace. After all, in order to welcome the working group into the city, someone had to guard the brick kiln. Who would be willing to be the one left behind to guard the kiln?

Of course, this news was not only known to Su Xiangyu, but also to Mei Gancai.

She went to the farm, but not only did she fail to catch Mu Tie, she also lost 200 yuan, and her heart was broken.

After returning to the main farm, if Feng Mingmei hadn't repeatedly persuaded her not to bother Su Xiangyu anymore, or because she was afraid that Su Xiangyu would make their family's illness public, the old lady would have run to the first branch farm eight hundred times.

Hearing that Han Shen is coming, doesn't that mean Mei Jun will come too?

"Mei Jun is finally coming?" Mei Gancai had just cleaned up the house and was delighted when he heard the news: "Great, great. When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey will be king. When Mei Jun comes, let Su Xiangyu see what a truly knowledgeable and cultured person who can lead a farm is."

Zhu Lin was a little worried: "Aunt, I heard that the person who brought the working group here is Han Shen. I remember that he doesn't seem to get along with you."

Mei Gancai is a person who can't sit still, and is very good at keeping healthy. He is making Cynomorium songaricum for himself, and he said, "Do you know why Han Shen is here? It's because Su Xiangyu's chickens and pigs are not raised in a normal way. The leaders in the capital heard about it and sent him to investigate this problem. How long has the Great Leap Forward been over? How many people starved to death because of false reporting of production? All production that does not conform to scientific common sense will be severely criticized by the capital, so Han Shen brought a working group to expose, attack, and criticize Su Xiangyu."

"Han Shen is Ye Xiangdong's uncle. Would he criticize Su Xiangyu?" Zhu Lin was a little unconvinced.

The old lady was certain: "Your elder sister has already told Han Shen about Su Xiangyu. Don't worry, Han Shen has absolutely no good impression of Su Xiangyu, whether in public or in private!"

Zhu Lin opened her mouth wide: "So that's how it is. This is going to be a good show."

Meanwhile, on the farm, Su Xiangyu and the other female educated youth had already rehearsed the welcome ceremony and were having it reviewed by the director Ji Huaiguo.

After Ji Huaiguo finished reviewing the performance, he said after a long while: "This dance of yours is even more exciting than the "Loyalty Dance". I think the comrades from the capital will definitely like it."

He actually didn't like it and was quite afraid of it, because Fan Yiping was already strong and had big sword-like eyebrows and green eyes, which made him look majestic and a little scary.

However, this is a farm that focuses on production, and the girls are not from an art troupe, so Ji Huaiguo thinks it is very good that they can dance like this.

In a blink of an eye, it was the next day and time to pick someone up.

Mu Tie had just recovered from a cold and had lost a lot of weight, but when he heard that everyone on the farm, except Feng Yueba and Yu Lei, were going to the county town, of course he decided to go.

In order to go into the county town, the little guy washed his clothes black yesterday, and planned to put them on today to have a good stroll in the county town.

At this moment, Su Xiangyu suddenly called him: "Mu Tie, come here."

"What's the matter, godmother? Do you think I'm handsome?" the little guy jumped into the house and asked.

Su Xiangyu still bought clothes from the system, but this time she learned her lesson and specifically picked clothes with very plain colors and styles, trying to find pure cotton clothes from plain clothing shops that matched the sense of the era. She bought a large coat with fleece inside and coarse cloth outside, a pair of fleece cotton trousers, and a pair of pure black canvas shoes. The prices were not high, but she dressed up little Mu Tie in an instant.

Forget about other things, the child has no concept of clothes, but Mu Tie has always worn the shoes his mother made for him. When he got a new pair of shoes, the child was so happy that he didn't dare put his feet on the ground when he walked.

"Where did Mu Tie buy this pair of shoes? They are so nice." Zhu Xiaojie saw it and was the first to ask.

After all, it's not easy to buy a pair of shoes nowadays, let alone canvas shoes?

"In the county town, the dealers sell it. It's probably Russian goods. Don't even think about it. You'll make a profit if you buy it. It's all a matter of luck." Su Xiangyu was lying very well.

At this moment, Ye Xiangdong also came from the chemical plant on a bicycle to pick up his uncle Han Shen.

There were 500 educated youth on the farm, and of course it was impossible for them to take the bus. It was said that Han Shen would arrive at the county town at 3 pm, and these 500 educated youth planned to take 4 hours to walk to the county town.

This is the current situation. Transportation is inconvenient. If you want to go to the county town without a car, you have to walk for 4 hours.

"Godmother, how are we going to eat when we go to the county town?" Mu Tie's stomach was already growling before he even started walking.

Su Xiangyu was afraid of stealing the limelight from the leaders today, so she didn't dare to drive and had to ride Ye Xiangdong's bicycle.

Ye Xiangdong also said: "The educated youth don't have much money. You can't let them starve just to welcome my uncle for the sake of face-saving, right?"

The cashier Xiao Wen smiled and said, "You may not know this yet, but as soon as the 500 yuan from the chemical plant arrived, our director asked me to go to the state-owned restaurant and buy 500 tickets for mutton soup buns, so that we could give them to everyone."

Ye Xiangdong looked at Su Xiangyu again and saw that she had jumped directly onto the bicycle.

If other farm managers heard about giving 500 educated youth mutton soup steamed buns to eat, they would probably be scared to death.

But she dared to do it on such a grand scale.

When everyone was about to leave, the cashier was at the entrance. He gave each person who left a ticket for a mutton soup bun from the county's state-owned restaurant. Of course, this ticket was bought with the 500 yuan given by Huang Liang.

Of course, when the educated youth went out one by one, they all had happy faces.

At the same time, after three days of train rides and another day of bus rides, Han Shen, a professor at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, who came from the capital, was on their way to E'er County with three or four students and Zhu Xiaojie's father Zhu Bin.

"Director, the telegram said that Chaoyang Farm has repaired the houses for us," said Mei Jun, the student group leader.

However, Director Han Shen did not sit with the students. It was Zhu Xiaojie's father Zhu Bin who spoke to her.

Zhu Bin was reading a newspaper in his hand. After reading for a while, he suddenly sneered, "See? 480 hens laid 500 eggs in one night. That's not even a boast. That Su Xiangyu is definitely an opportunist who only knows how to show off."

Not only did he have a cerebral infarction, his current wife, the female student he married after abandoning Zhu Xiaojie and her daughter, now has a cerebral infarction that is even more serious than his. So Zhu Bin went through the retirement procedures at the school and is no longer a teacher.

This time, he was not a member of the working group. He came with the working group to find Zhu Xiaojie and discuss his retirement issues with Zhu Xiaojie.

As a teacher, his status will be downgraded after retirement, so the students did not respond to him.

This bus was specially sent by the capital for them, and there were only a few people from their working group on it.

Because Han Shen had been sleeping soundly at the back and hadn't gotten up for a long time, Mei Jun deliberately said loudly: "The telegram also said that Chaoyang Farm has arranged a very good program to welcome us. I think Comrade Su Xiangyu must have done a good job in performing for the leaders in addition to her good production."

Han Shen, who had been squinting in the back, really sneered: "To put it bluntly, isn't it just to curry favor with the leaders? Put on a show, show loyalty, and then let our work group praise them? They have misjudged me, Han Shen. I, Han Shen, am not a fool that can be fooled by a loyalty dance. If they can't do a good job in production, I will not only criticize them, but also criticize them severely. Even if they kidnapped my eldest nephew, I will still criticize them."

Mei Jun and Zhu Bin looked at each other and smiled at the same time with unclear meanings.

Han Shen's eldest nephew got married in the border town without consulting the elders. Han Shen got the news from Mr. Ye. It was said that the woman was very good at showing off and doing face-saving projects. In their opinion, Ye Xiangdong was just a little white rabbit deceived by the big bad wolf.

Therefore, Mei Jun and Zhu Bin both knew that as soon as Professor Han got out of the car, he had to give Su Xiangyu, who was waiting to greet him, a warning.

However, Han Shen thought that Su Xiangyu was waiting for him at the station singing and dancing, and was going to perform for him, but he was wrong.

Because although Su Xiangyu was indeed waiting to greet him at the county party committee, her target today was not Han Shen, but someone else.

After all, all she wanted was to sell bricks and make the entire border town rich.

Zhu Xiaojie and the cashier Xiaowen took some time out of their schedule and came to see Su Xiangyu hand in hand. They actually came to ask for leave.

"Why don't you two just stand there in the welcoming line? What are you planning to do?" Su Xiangyu grabbed Zhu Xiaojie and said.

Zhu Xiaojie pointed behind her and said loudly, "Xiangyu, we have a good thing today. Our grain station manager Zhu just met us and asked us to go to the grain station at noon to help them organize the warehouse. Then he will reward us with five catties of snow powder on behalf of the grain station."

Su Xiangyu looked back and saw that it was true. The grain station manager Zhu Wen was dressed neatly, had a smile with a mouthful of white teeth, and was waving to Su Xiangyu.

There were few staff members at the grain station, so Stationmaster Zhu often transferred female educated youth from below to help out at the grain station. Su Xiangyu had helped Stationmaster Zhu before, so she didn't take it seriously and let Zhu Xiaojie and Xiaowen go.

At this moment, Su Xiangyu followed Ye Xiangdong, looking for an opportunity to go over and meet Secretary Wu.

"Why do you want to know Secretary Wu? He has no direct relationship with your work, right?" Ye Xiangdong said.

Mu Tie understood now, chewing the leftover biscuits from the mutton soup and said, "Because my godmother wants to sell bricks to the county committee."

"Aren't you here to pick up my uncle? Su Xiangyu, what are you thinking? Why didn't you meet Secretary Wu earlier, but now you want me to introduce him to you?" Ye Xiangdong said.

Su Xiangyu looked at the team she had already organized and breathed a long sigh of relief.

She never does meaningless things, but this time she rushed to arrange the program of Fan Yiping, and everyone thought she was arranging it for Han Shen to see.

But in fact, the person she really wanted to conquer today was Secretary Wu of the County Party Committee.

After all, the county committee wants to build a building, and the amount of bricks used will definitely be greater than that of a chemical plant. She must finalize this big deal through Secretary Wu.
