Chapter 285 I have good news for you. Our Su family finally has someone with great abilities.
The other side.
Just as Su Wenchen and Jiang's father were toasting each other.
Along with television broadcasts, the news of the successful breeding of white pigs that can be marketed quickly spread throughout the country.
The entire Su family is still busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.
But the TV in the main room was also on.
Shitou was playing with Xiao Tietou on the hot kang.
Shitou was not interested in the evening news broadcast period, but the young Tietou watched it with great interest.
Maybe he didn't know what was on TV.
I just think it's interesting to see the people moving around inside.
But after seeing a familiar figure above.
He blinked curiously.
Since Su Wenchen often brought back some delicious food when he was at home, in Xiao Tietou's mind, his uncle was equated with delicious food.
He immediately pointed at the TV and shouted excitedly.
"Uncle, sugar!"
"Uncle!"
As he said this, he started to dig up the stones he was playing with nearby.
Shi Tou shook his hands impatiently.
"Don't pick on me. Didn't my uncle say he wouldn't be back for the New Year this year? He won't buy you any candy."
But little Tietou still scratched it.
And shouted with a little finger pointing at the TV.
"Uncle!"
"Uncle!"
Little Stone waved his hand impatiently.
"If you keep picking on me, I'll beat you up."
"I told you, that's the guy on TV."
Before he could finish his words, he heard what seemed to be his uncle's voice on TV.
Following the sound, I looked.
Although what he said was something he couldn't understand.
But that was indeed his uncle.
In an instant, the stone excitedly pushed the iron head aside.
Shouted loudly and excitedly.
"Master!"
"Master!"
"My uncle is on TV!"
"My uncle is really on TV, come and see it!"
"It will be gone in a while."
Obviously, as someone who has watched a lot of news with his grandfather since he was a child, Shitou knows very well that most of the people who appear in the news do not appear for too long like in many TV programs.
There was a sound of stones being heard over there.
Su's mother ran over and responded while wiping her wet hands on her waist.
"Where! Where!"
"Is it still on TV?"
It was obvious that Su's mother believed her eldest grandson's words very much, because before Su Wenchen left, he revealed that he was going to Beijing for a meeting.
But Su's mother was worried that her youngest son would just appear briefly on TV and she would not be able to see him in person.
Shi Tou pointed at the TV excitedly.
"It's on TV, grandma, look, isn't that my uncle?"
Su's mother immediately moved to the front of the TV and looked at Su Wenchen, who was wearing a navy blue Zhongshan suit on the podium.
He immediately said excitedly.
"It's the youngest, it's the youngest. He even bought this dress at the city center for his wedding!"
"Is this the meeting place in the capital? It looks really grand!"
"Look at the national emblem at the back. It's really huge, it looks like it's as big as several people."
As they were talking, the other members of the Su family had already put away the things in their hands and walked out of the kitchen in a hurry.
“Where is it?”
"Is it still available now?"
After just a few words, the entire crowd gathered in front of the TV.
"Oh, he really is our director."
"I never thought it would actually make the TV news."
"You know what? The pigs mentioned here are the white pigs bred in our farm."
"I'm telling you, I've seen this pig before. It grows so fast. It becomes a huge giant if you don't pay attention."
"I heard that the meat we distributed this year was this kind of white pork."
Obviously, the first person to speak was the eldest sister-in-law Li Xiaohe, because she had never called the youngest one again since she went to work on the farm.
Even when I am at home, I call him Achen at most.
The elder brother Su Wenjian next to him asked curiously after hearing this.
"Why haven't I heard you say that before?"
"Has this been cultivated a long time ago?"
The sister-in-law glanced at her man.
"What am I telling you? Do you understand the principle of confidentiality? This is our farm's top secret. Can we just tell anyone about it?"
"If some secret agents find out, they'll definitely sabotage us!"
"Will you be able to shoulder this responsibility when the time comes?"
Su Wen Zhang rolled his eyes.
"Am I someone else? I'm a man, and a spy. If I were a spy, you'd be the first one to get away."
"I'm not saying you're a spy. I'm saying you're such a loudmouth, if you go out and talk nonsense, the spies might hear you!"
After hearing this, Su Wenjian was even more speechless. How could he not understand his own wife?
Say it directly.
"Who can have a bigger mouth than you!"
"But you can hold it in, have you changed your personality?"
Li Xiaohe said with a somewhat smug expression.
"That's right, I'm not the same person I was before."
"I'm the deputy director of the cafeteria. I'm a government official now. Can it be the same as before?"
"Even when senior leaders came to inspect, I personally led the staff to serve them meals."
Su Wen Zhang was even more speechless after hearing this.
"Whose credit are you taking? You don't even know it!"
"You're still a state cadre. Without the youngest brother, how can you, a food server, be a cadre?"
Li Xiaohe said confidently.
"Although I benefited from it, I was promoted because I did a good job in the kitchen."
"Otherwise, why haven't you promoted him before?"
"It was not until we finally received the senior leaders and they were very satisfied with our canteen work that we were promoted."
"This shows that the work of our cafeteria has been recognized by senior leaders."
"Do you understand?"
Su Wen Zhang snorted coldly.
"I don't understand, so you're the only one who understands!"
Obviously, he feels a little uncomfortable because his wife is now a cadre, but he is still driving a tractor in the brigade.
Over there, Father Su heard the eldest brother and his wife arguing, and immediately said something in a bad mood.
"Alright, go back to your house and have another argument."
"It affects my ability to watch TV."
After Su's father spoke, Su Wenxuan and his wife immediately calmed down a lot.
Su Wenlie glanced at his father.
"Dad, now that the third child has achieved so much, shouldn't our family show some appreciation?"
"I don't know if it's the blessing of our ancestors, but I have to tell them anyway!"
Hearing this, Su Wen Zhang also echoed.
"That's right, Dad. This is a great honor for our family."
"It's Chinese New Year this year, why don't we secretly burn some paper for our ancestors?"
"If you don't like it, you can burn it at home. As long as the door is closed, no one will know."
"Besides, our brigade's conditions are better now. I know many people are secretly burning it at home!"
"What if our family doesn't burn the fire and our ancestors are unhappy?"
Father Su turned his head and glanced at the eldest and second sons.
"Burn your ass! You think I'm the captain and I'm the boss, don't you?"
"Even if the ancestors are unhappy, they will look for me first. You don't have to worry about anything."
"Those who burn paper every day, I don't see their families living much better than others."
Later, I watched the camera on TV turn from Su Wenchen to the podium.
Just waved.
"Go, go, go, it's gone. Don't look at it anymore. The fire on the stove will fall out soon."
With that, the whole family returned to the kitchen to continue preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner.
However, after arriving in the kitchen, Father Su put on his coat and looked like he was getting ready to go out.
Su's mother asked in confusion.
"Old man, why are you putting on your coat?"
"Why wear a coat when the stove is burning so brightly?
Father Su waved his hand.
"I'll go out for a walk, and if I see someone burning paper, I'll take them out for a walk."
Then he turned and walked towards the door.
When the brothers Su Wenzhang and Su Wenlie heard this, they immediately murmured to each other.
"Dad, what you're doing is deliberately offending people! You're not afraid of being put in a sack at night. As far as I know, half of our team is on fire!"
"Besides, it's New Year's Day, isn't this just asking for trouble?"
However, due to Father Su's long-standing prestige, the two brothers knew that it was useless to say more.
But I still thought in my heart that I would have to talk to everyone more later and ask them to be gentle when putting on the sack.
Don't use sticks or anything like that, just fan yourself a few times with your hands to let out some air.
After all, he is so old, and if he hits him with a stick, he might die.
But the two brothers' worries were unnecessary.
Not for a moment.
Father Su came back.
The two brothers watched as Father Su hurried back with his arms bulging.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"Did someone send something?"
Father Su glanced at the two brothers.
"Just keep the fire burning, why bother with other people's business?"
"I can still move now, so why do I have to report everything I do to you two?"
As he spoke, he didn't even take off his coat, but went back to the inner room with his arms bulging.
When Su Wenjian heard this, he was a little confused.
"What's wrong, Dad?"
"Weren't they all fine when we were lighting the fire together just now?"
"Why are you so angry all of a sudden?"
"Is Daddy unhappy that the youngest is on TV?"
"That's impossible! Isn't this a great thing for the family?"
"Second brother, what do you think?"
Su Wenlie looked at his father's back thoughtfully, then glanced at his older brother, who looked puzzled. He shrugged.
"Brother, why do you worry so much?"
"I think you should worry more about yourself!"
"In two years, the village leadership will be replaced. Dad said he will retire after this term."
"Aren't you planning on joining the brigade's leadership?"
"If you want to join, I think it would be no problem for you to take over my father's job."
When Su Wen Zhang heard this, he glanced at the second brother in surprise.
Although he may not react that quickly, he is not a fool and he can still hear such obvious words.
So he shook his head and refused directly.
"You can choose if you want!"
"I won't join the brigade, nor will I run for brigade leader. Xiao He said the farm is planning to expand the transport team."
"I like driving, so I'm going to sign up and give it a try."
"She has already arranged for me to meet with a veteran in the transport team at the site. She told me to learn from him whenever I have time. As long as I can pick it up quickly, it won't be a problem to get into the transport team."
When Su Wenlie heard this, he was immediately delighted.
"Brother, you really don't want to choose? If you don't choose, then I will choose!"
Su Wenlie did not say any words of persuasion or modesty. He knew very well that if he and his elder brother could only choose one person, then he would basically be selected in the team.
Even if his father didn't show up, most of the members would vote for them for his father's sake.
Only when the two of them go up to vote together will the members be confused and not know who the team leader supports. At this time, they will split the votes, or many members will directly vote for others.
Su Wen Zhang nodded.
"I won't choose, you choose!"
"Are you planning to do the same as the youngest brother, becoming a team leader first, then developing the farm and gradually expanding it?"
Because in Su Wenjian's eyes, the second brother seemed to be imitating the third brother.
They all first serve as team cadres, develop breeding in the team, and then find ways to move up after achieving results.
Su Wenlie shook his head and denied it.
"How could I possibly have that ability?"
"The Earth Dragons in our farm were all cultivated by my youngest brother!"
"I'm content with being a brigade cadre. I just want to develop our brigade's earth dragon breeding farm little by little."
"I don't have his ability. It seems that any livestock or poultry can be transformed into something better in his hands."
"I just need to raise earth dragons. Big brother, you don't know that just raising earth dragons is enough for me to learn for a lifetime."
"And this stuff is in huge demand. Buyers from the city's medicinal herb companies are constantly coming here."
"We originally planned to raise them as chicken feed!"
"Who would have thought it could eventually be sold as a medicinal herb, and the demand could even outstrip supply!"
"Since you don't want to, then I will take over our father's mantle and stay in our team."
"This way, no matter what happens to you outside, you'll still have a way out in the team."
"I can't say anything else, but I'm sure there will be no problem with food and drink in our brigade!"
As soon as Su Wenlie finished speaking, Su's father came out without him noticing.
"Get out of the way! Do you think my father's captaincy is a family inheritance?"
"Return the mantle!"
"The legacy of your father and I is the government subsidy I received after the war. I used that money to build these eight houses for you. The remaining money was divided up when the family was divided."
"From now on, it's up to you all to do your own thing. If you want to be a brigade leader, work hard on your own. Don't even think about asking me to help you."
After saying that, he took the coat and walked to the door and hung it up.
Su Wenlie was not surprised to hear what his father said.
He saw clearly that there were only three brothers in their family, and since the third brother was so successful now, it was naturally impossible for him to come back and become a team leader.
As long as the eldest brother doesn't choose him, he has almost no rivals among his peers.
After the Su family’s New Year’s Eve dinner, the two brothers took their wives and children back to their own rooms.
It's late at night.
Father Su looked at the time, carefully got up from the kang, and made sure the door was locked.
Take out a small wooden sign from the small dark room under the kang.
Su's mother was awakened by the noise.
"Old man, what's wrong with you?"
Father Su waved his hand.
"It's okay, go to sleep, I'm going to burn some paper for my ancestors!"
When Su's mother heard this, she was a little surprised.
"Didn't you go to the grave to burn it before you went out?"
"Aren't you going to burn paper?"
At that time, Su's father was out. As the man who had been by Su's side for half his life, Su's mother naturally knew some of the situation.
Father Su replied somewhat embarrassedly.
"I was planning to go, but after I got my things outside, I saw a lot of people going there halfway."
"I'm back!"
As the leader of the brigade, it was naturally impossible for him to burn paper openly like those members.
Because although this kind of thing is not strictly controlled at the lower levels, it is not allowed.
Put on your coat and comfort him directly.
"Okay, go to sleep!"
"Besides, it doesn't matter where you burn it, it's better to burn it at home so that the ancestors can find the door!"
As he spoke, he picked up the folded yellow paper and a small wooden sign and walked to the table to place them.
After it is arranged, the yellow paper is burned.
Father Su also murmured.
"Ancestors, it's New Year's Day. I hope you all have a good New Year in the underworld. I'm burning some money for you to spend."
"I have good news for you. Our Su family has finally produced someone with great abilities."
"Did you know it was on TV?"
"But I guess you don't know this, since you've never watched TV before. Anyway, everyone in the country can see it, just like the newspapers I burned for you before."
"But TVs are really expensive. I can't afford to burn that thing, so don't blame me."
"Anyway, it brings honor to our family. I'm telling you guys, I hope you can continue to bless him in the future. I'll burn paper for you every year."
"When I can't do it anymore, I'll let the eldest and second oldest do it for you."
"As for you, don't blame that guy for not burning it for you personally. He is a cadre now. You don't want our Su family to finally have a promising person and let him get into trouble because of such a small matter!"
"Be careful and you will be safe forever!"
"Don't worry, in a few years, I will definitely ask the eldest and second brothers to burn more for you."
"The eldest brother's personality is a bit like his mother's. He doesn't have much heart. You just need to bless his family to be healthy."
“Their family, under the care of the youngest, should never have to worry about food and clothing in the future.”
"The second son is going to run for brigade cadre. I hope you can bless him to be safe and stable."
"But I'm actually quite relieved, because his personality is somewhat similar to mine. He's quite cunning. Even though we're a small team, if you don't have a few cunning people, you'll have to be tricked into joining."
"And Yingzi, even though she's already married, she's still the daughter of our Su family. It's only natural for the ancestors to take care of her, right?"
"Finally, I hope our ancestors will bless the children of our Su family."
"It's just that our Su family has never had many offspring. I hope our ancestors can think of more solutions."
"Look, the eldest brother has been married for so many years, and he still has only one child, Shitou. He has been trying for a second child for so many years but still hasn't had one."
"The second oldest family has recently started wanting a second child, but nothing has happened."
"Although the third brother's family has one now, it's not something they get right after they get married. I guess it will be difficult to have a second one in the future."
"Our Su family can't have three children and only one son!"
"But why don't the three kids have my ability in this regard?"
"I don't ask for too much, at least two per family. I'll trouble you, my ancestors."
Then he watched the yellow papers burn out.
"Okay, the paper is done. My ancestors, you can spend it first. I will burn it for you later. I'm sorry to bother you with what I said before."
"I'll kowtow to you again."
After saying that, he flipped the yellow paper with a fire stick to make it burn thoroughly.
He stood up and kowtowed a few more times.
Only then did he pack up all his things and return to the kang.
Su's mother was also not asleep.
"Old man, you've mentioned so many things directly. Can this ancestor handle it?"
Father Su waved his hand.
"It's okay. Who knows about this? Let our ancestors take care of it!"
"If you don't tell us all your difficulties, how will our ancestors know?"
"Besides, there are so many ancestors, so when the time comes, we can handle it all by ourselves. Okay, let's go to sleep!"
"Embargoedly, Yingzi will be here tomorrow, so we have to get up early!"
Father Su has already gone to bed here.
At this time, Su Wenchen in Jing City was fighting with Jiang's father.
He had to admit that Father Jiang could drink quite a bit. Although his face started to turn red after the first glass of wine, it remained red after the last bottle.
Jiang Li looked at the time and brought out a bowl of sobering soup from the kitchen and said.
"Okay, you two are almost done!"
"It's been several hours, why are you still talking so much?"
"Drink a bowl of hangover soup and go back to sleep."
Father Jiang's speech was a little unclear at this time, facing the hangover soup brought to him.
Just waved his hand.
"Go away."
"Why should a child butt in when adults are talking?"
"I'm not even drunk! Why would I want to drink some hangover soup?"
"Brother, let me tell you, you are far worse than me when it comes to dealing with women."
"You have to be aware of this, okay? Otherwise, they'll just keep pushing it further."
"Well, go back and review what I taught you earlier. I'll teach you a few more tricks later. I guarantee you'll be able to control your wife perfectly."
Jiang Li couldn't stand it anymore and said directly to Zhou Qin over there.
"Auntie Zhou, please quickly pull my dad into the house!"
"This is even considered brotherhood. If this gets out, everyone will laugh at us to death."
Zhou Qin was also a little helpless at this time. It was the first time she saw her father-in-law talking about brothers with her son-in-law.
When they got married, her husband pulled her elder brother to talk about brotherhood, and she thought it was nothing. But now it seems that as long as he gets drunk, he will treat anyone he grabs as a brother!
No wonder my man hardly dares to drink outside!
I guess he is afraid of this problem of his own!
Su Wenchen looked at his staggering father-in-law with some amusement.
Directly.
"Dad, it's getting late, you should go back to bed first!"
"If there's anything, let's talk about it tomorrow morning!"
Su Wenchen believed that when his father-in-law woke up tomorrow, he would definitely forget what happened tonight.
Looking at his father-in-law being helped away, Su Wenchen turned around and looked at Jiang Li jokingly.
"Niece, come and bring uncle some hangover soup!"
When Jiang Li heard this, she looked at her man unhappily.
After handing over the sobering bottle, he replied with a smile.
"You're really taking advantage of me, aren't you?"
"Then if you have the guts, wait until tomorrow and shout like that in front of my dad!"
Su Wenchen took a sip of the sobering soup and said stubbornly.
"Being an uncle for one night is enough. Let's go upstairs and rest."
"I have to get up early tomorrow because I have to take you to visit my boss's house to wish him a happy new year!"
After seeing Su Wenchen finish drinking the sobering soup, Jiang Li also went over to support him.
"Am I going too?"
"Is it not good to bring female relatives with you when you visit your relatives for the New Year?"
Su Wenchen waved his hand.
"It's okay. This is something the leader specifically instructed. It's not a visit to the leader. Just treat it as a younger person visiting an elder."
"Besides, you've been a leader since you were a child, so why are you still scared?"
Jiang Li glared at Su Wenchen.
"How can this be the same? When I was a kid, I followed my dad to the homes of the leaders in the hospital."
"Would it be the same if I went with you now?"
"Besides, the leaders I've met before are from the railway sector. I haven't had much contact with leaders from the agricultural sector."
"But what should we bring tomorrow?"
"How about we go look for it in my dad's small warehouse?"
When Su Wenchen heard this, he immediately laughed and joked.
"You are really your father's sweet little cotton-padded jacket."
Jiang Li pouted.
"He has so many things in his small warehouse. After the New Year, he will distribute them to some of his old friends. Let's take one or two and tell him about it tomorrow. He will definitely agree."
Su Wenchen refused directly.
"Forget it, the leader told me not to bring anything with me."
"But we can't go empty-handed, so let's take a cured chicken with us!"
"Anyway, just say we smoked it ourselves. That way it'll be easier to explain later. If I really bring those things from your dad's warehouse, I'll have a hard time explaining myself."
