Chapter 131 Chapter 131
Ye Qing was so busy on the farm that he forgot about time.
When she finished the busiest period before Qingming Festival on the farm and was preparing to go home to have a good rest, Zhao Yuliang happily told her a good news.
After his constant negotiations (persuasion) during this period, the county has approved his application. He successfully won the order from the feed factory and became the largest raw material supplier of Qingshan Feed Factory!
The feed formula given by Ye Qing requires four major types of materials. Grains include corn, wheat, and soybean bran; fats include soybean oil, palm oil, and peanut oil; proteins include fish meal, egg meal, and soybean meal; and finally, there are mineral materials such as lime powder, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and calcium carbonate.
Of course, Qingshan Farm cannot consume all of these major supplies, so Zhao Yuliang selected two types of materials, grain and oil, and planned to plan a large piece of land in the farm to grow corn, soybeans and wheat for feed starting with the spring plowing this year. There is no requirement for the taste of these crops, but they must be high-yield varieties.
For this purpose, Zhao Yuliang even asked people to inquire at major farms and agricultural research institutes across the country, hoping to find out where he could get seeds of grain crops that have a poor taste but high yield.
It was also at this time that Zhao Yuliang got an important piece of news from an old professor at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
In the early 1960s, a research institute in Taiwan established a research project to achieve high quality and high yield of common food crops in the country through gene grafting.
Because it was the first attempt at gene sequence recombination research in China, the research team took many detours and failed to achieve the result of high-quality and high-yield crops. Instead, they produced a number of incongruous products.
This includes grafting potatoes and tomatoes, so that tomatoes grow above ground and potatoes grow underground, producing two kinds of fruits from one crop.
However, the two kinds of fruits produced by such crops are much worse in taste than the fruits produced by a single crop before grafting.
This type of deformed product was still a new thing in China at that time, so even though it was far from the team's target research results, it still attracted the attention of many curious scientific researchers in China. The old professor also went to Shanghai to visit and study that year, so he was deeply impressed by this incident.
After hearing the news from the old professor, Zhao Yuliang was extremely excited.
He doesn't care about the taste of the crops, as long as the output is large and the pig feed made from it can make pigs grow fat quickly.
A crop can bear fruit both above and below, which means that one field can harvest two kinds of food crops at the same time. For Zhao Yuliang, this is the perfect crop that fully meets his requirements, so he urgently wants to know how to get in touch with this research team.
But the next second, the old professor poured a basin of cold water on his head.
"I can't find it. Due to special reasons, the project was suddenly stopped a few years ago, and even the entire institute was banned. As for where the research team went later, no one knows."
The old professor still looked regretful when he mentioned this incident.
He was very optimistic about that project back then. If nothing had happened to the team at that time, this institute might have been able to produce high-yield and high-quality grain crops after years of trial and error.
Zhao Yuliang was so disappointed. Such a good special crop tailor-made for the pig feed factory was just gone. It was all in vain!
Zhao Yuliang was feeling uneasy and was always thinking about this matter. One day, when he was having a meal with Qiao Youqing in the army cafeteria, the topic of the chat turned to the feed factory, and he immediately remembered the special crop that the old professor had provided him.
"I know this thing has been developed, but I can't get it. Don't you think this is uncomfortable? It would be better if I didn't know it at the beginning to avoid being happy for nothing!" Zhao Yuliang took a mouthful of vermicelli viciously and couldn't help complaining to Qiao Youqing.
Unexpectedly, when he said this, Qiao Youqing's expression suddenly became strange.
Zhao Yuliang didn't notice Qiao Youqing's abnormality at first, but then he heard his childhood friend stop eating and look at him with burning eyes:
"Is this research team you are talking about from the Shencheng Research Institute?"
Zhao Yuliang shook his head and said bewilderedly, "I don't know. The old professor didn't mention it. How come you also know about this?"
Qiao Youqing looked around the cafeteria and didn't respond to the conversation.
But as a childhood friend who grew up with the same pair of pants, how could Zhao Yuliang not see the unfulfilled meaning in Qiao Youqing's eyes?
He suddenly came to his senses and sat up straight, his expression becoming serious and anxious:
"No, you really know?!"
Qiao Youqing couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and after hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice to remind Zhao Yuliang:
"It's so far away, yet so close at hand. The leader of that project is already in your farm. If I had known you were looking for him, why would I have gone to so much trouble to find out? Why don't you just ask me directly?"
Zhao Yuliang was startled for a moment, then he reacted immediately.
There was an incident in the scientific research team in Shanghai, doing biological research. That was not...
"You mean Han——"
Before he could finish his words, Qiao Youqing stopped him with a look.
Zhao Yuliang understood immediately and didn't even bother to eat. He quickly called Qiao Youqing:
"Let's go to my office and talk!"
Ye Qing didn't know what had happened to Zhao Yuliang. Two days after she returned to Kaoshantun to rest after a busy day, she heard that Wu Yueying had been released after being detained in the detention center for a month.
Xia Hangyi was a real good actor. Not only did he not fall out with Wu Yueying and divorce her because of this incident, but he was also very attentive to her. When Wu Yueying was still in the detention center, Xia Hangyi tried every means to send things to Wu Yueying, and was as meticulous as possible in terms of food and clothing. On the day Wu Yueying was released from prison, he was waiting at the door of the detention center to pick her up, giving Wu Yueying enough dignity and a sense of security.
In contrast, the Wu family turned a blind eye. On the day Wu Yueying was released from prison, except for Wu's mother, no one else even showed up. Compared with Xia Hangyi, it can be said that there is a world of difference between them.
Wu Yueying used to dislike Xia Hangyi's dullness, clumsiness and lack of understanding of romance at the social gathering, but now that her family's attitude towards her is so cold and heartless, only Xia Hangyi is running around for her and will not leave her side.
Even when she suffered an unexpected miscarriage, Xia Hangyi never said a single harsh word to her. Instead, he came to her and comforted her as soon as she was released from prison, telling her not to take her detention to heart and that it didn't matter if she lost the child, as she would have another one after she recovered.
At this moment, Wu Yueying felt the benefits of having a warm and kind man as her husband.
In her previous life, because of her wandering, her marriage with Gu Weidong was rifty from the beginning, and she had never experienced what it felt like to have a close relationship with her husband.
So at this moment, with Xia Hangyi's considerate and comforting words, Wu Yueying, who had suffered physical and mental torture in the detention center for a month, had her psychological defenses completely collapsed. She was unable to extricate herself from her husband's tenderness and could not help but hug her husband and cry loudly.
At this moment, Wu Yueying completely cast aside all the shortcomings that she once considered to be very serious, such as being dull and unromantic. The image of the man in front of her became extremely tall and majestic in her heart, making her heart beat wildly.
She clutched Xia Hangyi's collar tightly, regarding the man in front of her as her greatest support in her life.
She swore secretly in her heart that she didn't care about the health station ticket anymore. She would go back to live a down-to-earth life with Xia Hangyi, love this man well, and take good care of her husband and children so that he would not have to worry about the future. When this man became successful one day and she returned home in wealth and glory, those people in her family who looked down on her would no longer be able to reach her!
Thinking of this, Wu Yueying's gaze unconsciously fell on Wu's mother who was standing not far away.
After Wu's mother separated from her husband during this period, she had a hard time in Kaoshan Village. The old ladies in the village no longer wanted to play with her, her son and daughter-in-law were cold to her, and the neighbors looked at her strangely. She had no one to complain to, so she had to stay at home all day.
After a while, she became completely listless and looked even more haggard than Wu Yueying who had been detained in the detention center for a month.
The only person she could count on and care about was her daughter Wu Yueying who was imprisoned in the detention center. She always felt that after her daughter was released, she would be able to gain her daughter's understanding and support, and she would find someone willing to confide her sufferings to.
At this time, Wu's mother seemed to have forgotten that after Wu Yueying had a miscarriage, she went to bring chicken soup to her daughter, but was beaten and scolded by her daughter and the jar of soup was smashed. Or maybe she did not forget, but just did not want to think about it too much. She felt that the daughter she had loved all her life would not and had no reason to resent her.
She could only explain and excuse her daughter in her heart, thinking that her daughter was so irritable because she was traumatized by the miscarriage and needed to vent her emotional breakdown, and that the crazy curses were not directed at her.
Wu's mother brainwashed herself with this explanation in an attempt to deceive and numb herself, because if even her daughter didn't want her, then she would really be abandoned by her relatives and friends, and end up in a miserable situation of being alone and helpless.
Wu's mother was unwilling to fall into this situation, and she also refused to admit that her education over the years was wrong. She could only grasp Wu Yueying as a lifeline.
Coincidentally, Wu Yueying just happened to need a nanny like Wu's mother who came to her doorstep.
Wu Yueying hated her natal family and had a lot of resentment towards her mother, but she was also very clear that she had poor self-care ability. Let alone taking care of her husband and children and providing a support so that her husband could live a worry-free life, even taking care of herself was a big challenge for her.
At this time, when Wu's mother approached her, Wu Yueying, who was used to being selfish, wouldn't she just go with the flow and take the opportunity to tightly grasp this free babysitter in her hands?
Knowing that the Wu family had split up, Wu Yongbing went to the police station and posted a notice severing their father-daughter relationship with her. Wu Yueying had a grim expression and took this grudge to heart.
She now has the verdict from the police station and has been put on the blacklist of Kaoshantun, so she will definitely never be able to return to her parents' home. In this case, she can no longer let Wu's mother stay in Kaoshantun.
Her mother is soft-hearted and easily led by the nose. Who knows if one day she will be suddenly coaxed away by one of her two sisters-in-law?
She couldn't let anyone else snatch the free babysitter she had finally coaxed into her hands!
So, Wu Yueying began to flatter her mother. First, she scolded those people in her mother's family from head to toe from Wu's mother's perspective, and spoke up for Wu's mother for all the grievances she had suffered. When Wu's mother's emotions were aroused and she was overwhelmed by anger, she showed her true intentions.
Wu Yueying gave Wu's mother a bad idea, asking her to divorce Wu Yongbing, exchange the main house allocated to her in Kaoshantun and the food items in the family for money at an equivalent value from Wu Yongbing, and then take the cash to the military farm to live with her daughter, who would then live with Wu Yueying, and Wu Yueying would be responsible for supporting her in her old age.
"Anyway, the people in the village now reject and look down on us, mother and daughter. You will get nothing by staying there except suffering. It would be wiser to just divorce and leave, and keep all the money in your own hands!"
"If possible, let Wu Cong and Wu Min convert all your future retirement rations into money and pay it to you in one lump sum. That would be great. With money in your hands, you won't have to worry about anything. You can live happily anywhere."
Wu Yueying's eyes sparkled, and she spoke to Wu's mother in a gentle and persuasive manner.
