Chapter 48 Itchy Heart

The next night when it was time to get off work, there were many young men wandering around the brick kiln.

When Su Xiangyu passed by, they waved their hands together, smiling like sunflowers.

"Director, we have trouble because you left three female educated youth in our farm. Now many educated youth from other branches also want to join our branch and can't be stopped from seeing you. What should we do?" Wang Hongming said.

As expected, after all, other farms are managed by men, who are definitely harsh on their subordinates, have no money, and the food is not good either.

Nowadays, let alone a bowl of mutton soup, even a big white steamed bun is something that people are willing to run several kilometers to eat.

I heard that several girls actually joined a branch because of Yu Lei, and each of them ate a big white steamed bun on the day they joined.

The educated youth in other branches were trying to find ways to get Su Xiangyu to take them in, some using connections and some looking for friends.

At this time, Wang Hongming was in trouble because he was the captain of the male team and the leader of the militia. He was afraid that too many people would come and cause trouble.

"Don't worry about it for now. Let's wait until I finish receiving Professor Han's working group." Su Xiangyu said.

Han Shen went to the farm immediately and asked Su Xiangyu to decorate his room for him.

Of course Su Xiangyu was too lazy to do it, so she called Zhu Xiaojie to help Han Shen clean up the house.

Zhu Xiaojie now has two things on her mind. One is known to Su Xiangyu, that is, her father Zhu Bin is coming soon and she doesn't know what to do. The other is that Su Xiangyu doesn't know, that is, Zhu Xiaojie is actually looking forward to Han Shen's arrival.

She was inexplicably looking forward to meeting the department head who was so handsome, gentle, and had a bit of a rebellious temperament.

"What should I do when my dad comes, Xiangyu? I heard that when he was in Beijing, he was particularly good at attacking the enemies and eliminating dissidents." Zhu Xiaojie said while spreading the bed sheet.

Su Xiangyu said: "I have discussed this matter with Wang Hongming and Yu Lei. You don't have to worry about it. Just do your job."

Just then, Mu Tie, who had been watching outside, suddenly shouted, "Here they come, they are coming!"

Zhu Xiaojie was particularly enthusiastic: "You're really here. Where is Professor Han?"

Before she could run out of the door, someone outside the door said, "How do you do work? Where did all those educated youth who don't work and wander around come from? Is your farm holding a parade, a rally, or a revolution?"

The voice is loud, but the person is slow to react. I could tell it was Zhu Bin, a retired university teacher. He hasn't even entered the venue yet, but he's already criticizing Master?

Su Xiangyu did not wait for Zhu Xiaojie to leave, and immediately went out to greet them: "Is this the working group from Beijing? Comrades, we have been waiting for you for a long time. I think everyone has had a good rest in the county. Now let Wang Hongming lead the team, and let's go to work together."

"We are here to supervise your work," said Zhu Bin.

"If we don't work together, how can you supervise us?" Su Xiangyu asked back.

Zhu Bin was actually stumped by her question and turned around to look at Han Shen.

Han Shen didn't say anything. It was a male classmate who came with him who came to help Zhu Bin out of the dilemma: "Teacher Zhu, we are a working group, but since we are at the farm, we should indeed work with the comrades on the farm. Little farm manager, what should we do today?"

Little field manager?

This name sounds as nice as a fairy.

"The production is arranged by Director Feng, who has taken leave recently. Wang Hongming is a model worker in our farm, especially Teacher Zhu. We heard that you came to participate in the work even after having a cerebral infarction. We especially welcome you. Let's all applaud Teacher Zhu." Su Xiangyu said this and took the lead in applauding.

Wang Hongming was applauding, all the educated youth were applauding, and Zhu Bin was even preparing to give everyone a warning.

Yu Lei simply carried him away and took him to work.

Han Shen had been observing Su Xiangyu the whole time. This guy pretended to be profound and acted quite cool. However, after walking around the room, he found that the books he brought were arranged neatly, and the homespun sheets and bright red quilt cover on the bed looked quite pleasing to the eye.

He didn't know that this was laid by Zhu Xiaojie, and he thought it was done by Su Xiangyu. While he cursed her for being vulgar, he actually liked her very much.

He put a reclining chair outside the room and started reading.

Of course, reading was just a cover. He observed carefully that there were still many educated youths gathered outside the farm. They seemed to be watching and waiting for something. In short, they refused to leave.

Su Xiangyu, his nephew's wife, if he guessed correctly, she should be immediately pulled over by the director for a lecture.

What kind of era was it? The director of a small branch farm secretly intercepted educated youth from other farms and kept them working in his own branch farm.

This is a mistake of principle and direction. Having made this mistake, she will not be able to hold this position as an 18th-rank official for long.

Han Shen made himself a cup of tea and watched leisurely.

Seeing Mu Tie and Xiao Man running around in the courtyard, he waved his hand and called Mu Tie over: "Are you Ye Xiangdong's godson?"

…

"I'm his uncle!" Seeing that the child didn't speak, he said again.

"I know, Han Beast." Mu Tie shouldn't have thought that he would die of cleverness in the future, and said loudly: "My godmother has talked about you!"

Beast?

Han Shen was so angry that he almost jumped up.

If Su Xiangyu and Ye Xiangdong cannot be separated, he doesn't mind using violence.

This is too much. How can you call him a beast in front of children?

But in fact, Han Shen wrongly accused Su Xiangyu. She never called him a beast, but when she was keeping accounts, she subconsciously wrote his name as "beast". When Mu Tie saw it, he thought it was funny and wrote it down.

He got up and went to the toilet and peed. The moment Han Shen pulled the bracelet, the water not only did not rush down from below, but also poured all over his head.

"Who the hell pressed the flush toilet? It was pressed the wrong way around!" Han Shen shouted angrily while wiping his wet head.

Mu Tie said with a smile outside: "I pressed it for you. I just can't stand you being so special on the farm and even building yourself a toilet. What's wrong with that?"

It seems that not only is Su Xiangyu hateful herself, but she also leads her child astray, which is even more excessive.

Han Shen felt that not only did he want Su Xiangyu and Ye Xiangdong to divorce, he now even wanted to interfere with the director Ji Huaiguo and ask him to expel Su Xiangyu directly from the cadre team.

But Han Shen still endured it. After all, he realized that Su Xiangyu would only be a cadre until tonight.

Sure enough, not long after, a bicycle came in from outside the farm. On it was a muscular man who could flatten tires. As soon as he entered the farm gate, he shouted, "Director Xiao Su, come out here! What's going on? Why are my soldiers rebelling?"

Han Shen smiled. It seemed that the chief director had not arrived yet, but the sub-directors below were already restless because of the educated youth's unstable thoughts.

This is to show Su Xiangyu his power.

He just wanted to see what kind of humiliation Su Xiangyu would suffer.

However, as soon as this mighty and strong man saw Su Xiangyu coming out of the office, he immediately smiled again and his voice became much lower.

"Director Xiao Su, what you are doing is not good. My soldiers don't obey my discipline and all run to you. Your farm is profitable and the food is better than ours, but you can't let the educated youth in our farm eat white steamed buns. Once they eat it, their mouths feel sweet and they only think about your goodness. They don't want to follow me anymore and only want to follow you." The man's voice sounded like a traitor talking to the imperial army.

Han Shen was so angry that he thought he had no ambition. This woman was just prettier, had a better figure and fairer skin. Did all the men in the Gobi Desert never see a woman? Look at how fawning he was.

The person who came was Mu Yite, the director of the Sanfen Field. He could not get angry at Su Xiangyu, the only female director of the ten fields, especially since she was smiling at him. He whispered, "Persuade our educated youth to go back to the field to work quickly, okay?"

Su Xiangyu is fine yet.

After a while, several more branch managers came and said in a flurry that Su Xiangyu had shaken their team and made it impossible for them to manage people.

Han Shen watched leisurely and thought to himself, I'll just see if you, Su Xiangyu, can continue to be the director of this show today.

At this time, Ji Huaiguo also came, sweating profusely, and said to them, "Su Xiangyu, what's wrong with you? How could you secretly transfer the household registration of the educated youth? You have committed a serious disciplinary mistake."

"Director, I have my own opinion on this matter. Let's go into the office and talk about it, okay?" Su Xiangyu said with a smile.

After all, she was the only popular figure among the group of male managers. Although the men talked a lot, they still listened to Su Xiangyu and went into the office to hold a meeting to discuss the matter.

About half an hour later, a group of men came out of the office, all smiling.

"This idea is good, but I think I can do it better. Just wait and see," said Muyite.

Liu Xiangguo, the director of the Quarter Court, said: "That's not necessarily true. I think the conditions in our Quarter Court are better. Maybe I will be the final winner?"

A group of men were about to leave, and each of them shook hands with Su Xiangyu and patted her shoulder. Their love and appreciation for the little sister were beyond words.

It can be seen that the branch managers really like her.

As for Ji Huaiguo, when he left, he took out a handful of melon seeds and put them all into Su Xiangyu's hands like coaxing a child.

Even Ji Huaiguo probably doesn't love his own daughter so much.

What did Su Xiangyu do?

What did she say that instantly resolved the educated youth's private unrest?

The branch managers will be fascinated by her beauty, but Ji Huaiguo should be sober.

Han Shen could say that he had never been so curious since he was born.

He was so curious that even the Dunhuang Documents in his hand lost its fragrance and the tea lost its taste. He wanted to know how she did it.

At this time, the sun was about to set, and when Ye Xiangdong's car arrived, Su Xiangyu had to return to the chemical plant.

This is the happiest moment of every day for Mu Tie.

From a distance, I saw Ye Xiangdong's car waving.

Ye Xiangdong actually invited Han Shen to live in the chemical factory, but Han Shen refused at the time. In his words, living in a dugout makes people feel like rats, which is really miserable, so he would rather die than go into the dugout.

But now Han Shen is particularly curious about how Su Xiangyu convinced those branch factory directors without bloodshed. What should he do?

Ye Xiangdong got out of the car. His white shirt was very clean and he walked towards me with a bright smile.

Han Shen felt that he would definitely invite himself to the dugout for dinner, so he had already thought about how to explain his big talk about preferring death to entering the dugout.

But unexpectedly, Mu Tiedu would say, "Godfather, do you want our uncle to come to our house for dinner?"

Ye Xiangdong actually said: "No need, he doesn't like to go to the dugout, we can just go by ourselves."

Han Shen was angry, but after all, he was a man who cared about his reputation. He smiled and patted Ye Xiangdong on the shoulder, then turned around and let him go.

When getting in the car, Ye Xiangdong looked at Su Xiangyu with a smile: "Do you want to drive, or should I?"

Need I say more?

Su Xiangyu, who once drove an excavator, has a passion for driving.

He opened the door, got in the car, stepped on the gas, and the car left the farm as the educated youth waved at him, heading onto the road where the sand and gravel were shining with a soft golden glow under the setting sun.

Poor Han Shen, he still hasn't figured out how Su Xiangyu dealt with those branch managers.

There were originally five students, but Mei Jun recently took a leave of absence to recuperate in the county town due to acclimatization problems, so there are only four male students.

On the first day of work, the boys found it quite interesting and helped Han Shen fix the toilet, sweep the house, and organize his books.

Their dinner was cooked on the farm stove.

Each person had a bowl of sweet potato porridge and a wheat bran pancake, and that was dinner.

"Is this our dinner?" Han Shen said in surprise, looking at the watery porridge that Zhu Xiaojie brought.

In fact, Su Xiangyu could have asked Zhu Xiaojie to make this meal into pig food. She just wanted to get rid of Han Shen and Zhu Bin as soon as possible.

Zhu Xiaojie wanted to drive Zhu Bin away, but she developed an indescribable liking for Han Shen.

So she took out another steamed bun, handed it to Han Shen and said, "There are still steamed buns. How about you have one?"

The steamed bun actually belonged to her, but Zhu Xiaojie gave it to Han Shen.

A white flour bun is not easy to come by, so Zhu Xiaojie was reluctant to part with it. She thought Han Shen would be happy to eat the bun, but Han Shen chewed it and threw it out of the window: "You installed my toilet upside down, and the food you eat tastes like pig food. I'll ask the manager of this place to get out tomorrow!"

Zhu Xiaojie looked at the steamed bun and swallowed her saliva subconsciously. She was also craving for steamed buns.

A group of sparrows came fluttering and pecked the bun to pieces in a moment!

As for Su Xiangyu and Mu Tie, they were particularly happy today for some reason. They sang together, from "Returning from Target Practice" to "The East is Red". Mu Tie sat in the back, singing for a while while sitting and then lying down. However, the child was only six years old and was too sleepy, so he fell asleep after a while.

Su Xiangyu looked back at the little Mu Tie who was hiding in the back and asked Ye Xiangdong, "Didn't you ask for him if he can go to primary school at his age? When the time comes, remember to enroll Xiao Man and let her go to school together. I will pay for the tuition."

Ye Xiangdong did not answer Su Xiangyu's question, but said: "Miss Spy, you really treat these children as your own children? I have to tell you that you can't get any valuable information from me. Sooner or later, you will abandon me because you find that I am of no use to you."

He didn't say this in a sarcastic way, he just sounded frustrated.

Obviously, they still regard Su Xiangyu as a spy of the United States.

"Ye Xiangdong, you are such a perceptive person, do you really have no other inference about my origins except that I am a spy?" Su Xiangyu said.

Ye Xiangdong actually thought of other possibilities, such as Zhu Wen. She predicted that he was going to commit a crime, and she was very sure of it. This proved that she knew what would happen in the future. So where did she come from?

"My godmother is a little fairy." Mu Tie was still in a daze when getting off the car. The child mumbled and said only this one sentence.

Ye Xiangdong put the child on the kang and saw Su Xiangyu worrying in front of the stove again. He guessed that she was thinking about how to make a lazy meal again, so he comforted her and said, "Just make plain noodles. Anyway, I think you are too lazy to do it, so don't make anything else."

In fact, Su Xiangyu has been thinking about how to make Ye Xiangdong believe that she came from the future, but at the same time, she should not let him overly investigate the system. After all, if she exposes the system, she will not be able to make money and buy cosmetics.

As for her, she has a problem. If she wants others to trust her, she will doubt herself. But if others don't trust her, she has to prove herself.

There was mutton in Ye Xiangdong's kitchen. No one knew where it came from, but it was quite fresh, with ribs and a whole piece of leg meat.

The flour is newly produced by the factory.

She twisted the meat onto the chopping board and began to chop it: "I have a meal that is even lazier than plain noodles. You just have to wait and eat it."

"What? It can be easier to make than plain noodles?" Ye Xiangdong was shocked.

After watching her for a while, seeing her kneading dough, rolling dough, and chopping lamb and scallions, Ye Xiangdong said, "This is not lazy, and it looks troublesome. It can't be steamed buns."

"Baozi is not a dog that doesn't care about you. If a dog doesn't care about you, aren't you lazy enough?" Su Xiangyu said as she wrapped a mutton bun, leaving a piece of pork ribs outside.

When making baked lamb buns, people usually put a lamb rib in the bun and then wrap it with chopped lamb and onion stuffing. It tastes so good when baked in the oven.

Ye Xiangdong stood behind her, watching her stuff the baked buns into the oven next to the big stove, and couldn't help swallowing.

At this moment, he heard Su Xiangyu say: "By the way, don't you want to know where I came from? Today, I will tell you about this."
