Chapter 355 Night Watch

Wei Aiguo's embrace was so warm, and Song Yan was also tired. Soon, her even breathing could be heard.

But Wei Aiguo didn't sleep for a long time...

It was still pitch black outside at four in the morning. Wei Aiguo got up and dressed. Song Yan also woke up, turned on the light, and glanced at his watch. "So early, where are you going?"

"I think they must have some other purpose in wanting to poison Bai Shuang and Hei Zai. I might as well grant their wish and give them a chance to do it."

"I'll go find the brigade leader and borrow a carriage right away. I'll tell him that Bai Shuang and Hei Zai are in bad shape and might not make it. I'll take them to the commune's veterinary station to get them checked out." Wei Aiguo said, already dressed.

Song Yan: "I'll go with you!"

"No need! I'll take Xiaohu. You sleep a little longer. If Mother asks, just say the same thing." Wei Aiguo tucked Song Yan in and went out.

Song Yan vaguely heard Wei Aiguo knocking on the door of the literacy class next door. Xiao Hu was sleeping in that room. Although there was no kang (heated brick bed), the fireplace burned very well. And Xiao Hu had a wolfskin rug on, so it was very warm…

Today, as the women came to work in the weaving group, a piece of news caused a stir in the brigade.

Song Yan's two dogs had been poisoned. Before dawn, Wei Aiguo took the two dogs to the commune's veterinary station to see if they could still be treated.

Good heavens, how can there be such a person?

Bai Shuang is a military dog! I heard she even saved someone's life. Who's so heartless as to do something like that?

Wei Ping and Wei An cried their eyes out, and Jiang Xiaoxiao and Aunt Wei also wiped away tears.

Song Yan also felt that it would be abnormal if she didn't cry. So she simply didn't leave the house. Even when people came to visit, she didn't come out.

Everyone in the brigade said that Song Yan was heartbroken and had locked himself in his room.

Song Yan soaked mung beans in the house; she wanted to sprout them.

It's not unusual for many families to grow and eat bean sprouts. However, their bean sprouts can't compare to Song Yan's. Song Yan has tried growing bean sprouts before; his sprouts are white, long, and crisp. One pound of ordinary mung bean sprouts can yield seven to nine pounds of sprouts. Of course, this requires an experienced grower.

If you don't know anything, it's possible that a pound of mung beans will only yield three to five pounds.

When Song Yan added spring water to his experiment, one pound of mung beans sprouted fourteen or fifteen pounds of sprouts. This yield was comparable to that achieved with additives.

There aren't many vegetables to eat in winter, so Sixth Brother will definitely buy these good bean sprouts.

Song Yan planned to have Xiao Hu deliver it, and no matter how much it sold for, he would make Xiao Hu take two cents per pound.

The original plan was for Xiaoxiao and Xiaohu to earn some money by sprouting mung beans. Ji Chunyang lives in the educated youth settlement, which is inconvenient, so we won't be taking her along. However, we're afraid the mung beans Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Yan got from the brigade won't be enough.

Song Yan bought Ji Chunyang's mung beans, making sure she wouldn't be cheated on the price.

…

In the afternoon, Wei Aiguo returned with a worried look on his face. Although everyone asked Bai Shuang how she was doing, they all basically knew the answer.

Just look at Wei Aiguo's expression!

Wei Aiguo's simple answer was, "No." As for how bad it was, just look at Wei Aiguo's expression. Who would be so tactless as to ask that?

The atmosphere at home was tense. Wei Aiguo was no longer so stingy with his words to his family members, saying directly that Bai Shuang and Hei Zai would be fine.

Only after hearing this did the family feel at ease enough to eat. Wei Aiguo instructed them not to say anything carelessly when they went out. After all, Bai Shuang and the others had been poisoned. To be on the safe side, they shouldn't tell anyone that Bai Shuang was alright.

The military dog ​​had been poisoned, so the brigade took it very seriously and reported it to the commune police station. The police searched every household in the brigade but found no clues.

…

The brigade received a notice that the commune would be holding a singing competition this year, and all brigades would participate. The competition was in five days.

The Qingshan Brigade decided to send students from the literacy class.

Captain Wu believes that the students have a good foundation in music class and might be able to win some awards!

Jiang Xiaoxiao chose the song "Defend the Yellow River." Song Yan had taught the children to sing it before.

At that time, the brigade decided not to let the children have summer vacation. Song Yan felt that the boring studies would make the children resentful. There were more other classes, especially music classes. When teaching "Defend the Yellow River," he put in a lot of effort. The song was first sung in unison, then in a round of the second, third, and fourth parts.

In the children's understanding, singing is simply singing together. They were experiencing this way of singing for the first time, so they learned with great enthusiasm.

So much so that during breaks between classes, when everyone was singing, this song was the one they sang the most.

Singing a round well and in unison takes years of practice. Song Yan understood that Jiang Xiaoxiao wanted her students' round to surpass the synchronized choruses of other groups…

The passionate singing in the literacy class seemed to have overshadowed the issue of poisoning military dogs…

Wei Aiguo said that he had sent Bai Shuang to the home of one of Xu Qing's relatives.

Song Yan thought for a while before remembering who Xu Qing was—he was Wei Aiguo's friend.

With Xiao Hu by her side, Bai Shuang will be fine.

Song Yan: "It's hard to say whether it was Brother Cheng Yi or Cheng Yi the Second who did this. Waiting like this isn't a solution."

Cheng Yi's eldest brother is Cheng Kuan, and his second brother is Cheng Yong.

Wei Aiguo's hands started to wander. "Don't worry about these things, I'll figure something out. Right now, all you want is for your man to hold you."

Song Yan felt uncomfortable being touched by Wei Aiguo. After they had been together several times, Wei Aiguo had gained some experience, and the two gradually became more intimate...

Even after the initial excitement, relaxing can be tiring. Song Yan lay in his warm bed, wanting to sleep.
