The fact that Gu Li was molested by someone had not been spread out, so Lu Fengnian took time out today to go to Gu's house to ask Lu Shiwei for money.
Su Yan also followed Zhang Minghao from the pig farming company to the breeding farm of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
I saw the fat white pig in the pig house, and the white and black spotted hybrid piglets.
Su Yan couldn't help but sigh that these pig farmers were worthy of being the pillars of the country, as they produced hybrid pigs so quickly.
It would be great if she could get a few piglets back to the space to raise. Captain Zhang has been talking to a bespectacled veterinarian about the prevention and treatment of piglet diseases.
Another man named He kept talking to Su Yan, "Comrade Su, you said you are good at theoretical pig farming?"
Raising pigs in theory? Well, raising pigs was just theoretical knowledge to her. How could a teenage girl actually raise pigs?
"I've only read a few books and seen my grandfather treat a few pigs."
"I've read your article on the theory of hybrid pig selection and the practical manual on artificial insemination for sows. They're really good."
"Comrade He, compared to you, I'm like Lu Ban wielding an axe in front of his master—excuse me for showing off. We came here specifically to learn from you and to borrow two breeding pigs."
The white pigs in their farm have been hybridized into three generations of spotted pigs. Their growth cycle is shortened, their disease resistance is significantly stronger, and their meat does not have the smell of wild pigs.
"Borrowing a breeding pig is not an option."
If everyone came to borrow breeding pigs from them, their farm would not have enough breeding pigs to lend them.
I don’t know what Su Yan told them, but He Guosheng finally agreed to lend them a white pig for breeding, but only once.
In addition, Zhang Minghao also ordered three white piglets and four spotted piglets from their farm, promising to raise twice as many piglets next year. He Guosheng finally agreed reluctantly.
Su Yan was very tempted and wanted to buy some piglets too, so she secretly asked He Guosheng, "Comrade He, can I buy two piglets from you privately?"
"What did you buy it for? Do you want to eat roast suckling pig?"
"My grandfather is in the countryside, and I want to buy him two piglets to raise for New Year's Eve."
"If you raise two, you have to pay for one, but we don't sell our pigs to individuals. However, there are more than a dozen families in the nearby villages who raise one or two big black pigs. If you don't mind, I'll tell you which family has piglets for sale, and you can go there secretly."
"Okay, thank you so much."
There are piglets for sale in the countryside, and are there also chicks and ducklings? Anyway, I'm out today, so I might as well wait until Captain Zhang leaves and then go for a stroll in the nearby villages.
…
Lu Fengnian went to Lu Shiwei's house to get five hundred yuan, and immediately returned to the courtyard.
Lu Xiangqian didn’t understand why his son suddenly came back. Wasn’t he very busy?
"I just came back from Lu Shiwei. I've already received the 500 yuan. I'll leave this money for Jin'er to marry her as a betrothal gift."
Deng Xiu'e frowned as if she could kill two flies with a pinch. Alas, she lost hundreds of dollars for no reason.
"Aunt, what are you thinking about? Why do you look so unhappy?"
"Aunt? You call me aunt?"
Deng Xiu'e looked at Lu Fengnian in disbelief, then at Lu Xiangqian, "You told him about that. You wouldn't give all of my sister's dowry to her, would you?" After saying that, her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"You and I are both old now. We shouldn't have kept this secret from him anymore. Are you planning to take this secret underground?"
"More than forty years ago, I wanted to tell him the truth. Who stopped me from telling it?
I helped you raise your son and treated him like your own, yet you didn't even discuss anything with me and told me about this behind my back."
Lu Fengnian quietly watched his aunt and old father arguing, "Stop arguing, both of you. I came here today to ask you, how did my mother die?"
Deng Xiu'e's sharp eyes narrowed as she sneered, "How did your mother die? Didn't she die of heavy bleeding during childbirth? Do you still think we killed her?"
If her sister hadn't died, she might have gone abroad with her family. She wouldn't have had to marry Lu Xiangqian as his second wife, and often have to endure the anger of her mother-in-law and have to look at her face. Moreover, the old woman died early.
"Why did my mother die of severe bleeding during childbirth? Why didn't the midwife save her? Dad, why didn't you send her to the hospital?"
Lu Xiangqian had a dejected look on his face and lowered his eyes, recalling what he had seen that year. It wasn't that he was unwilling to save the child. When he came back, his eldest son had already been born, and the child's mother was barely breathing.
One of his two wives was born to his original wife, and the other was born to a concubine. In terms of beauty and intelligence, the original wife is definitely much better than the current one.
But fate is cruel and beauty has a tragic fate. What can he do?
"It's not that I don't want to send him off, it's that he died before I could send him off."
"Then why did my mother have a difficult birth?"
Deng Xiu'e suddenly remembered something and said, "As long as you bring back your mother's dowry, I will tell you the answer."
"Shut up! When your sister was young, all the fine fabrics she left behind were used by you and my mother. What else do you want?"
"You old fool, it makes me angry when you talk about your mother. It was clearly her who consulted the doctor and found out that my sister was pregnant with a boy, so she tried every day to make her have a lot of nourishment.
As a result, she couldn't deliver the baby, and she was forced to give birth at home instead of sending her to the hospital. The midwife asked your mother whether to save the older or younger child, and your mother said to save the younger one…
Lu Fengnian's eyes narrowed. Is this the truth?
Lu Xiangqian slapped Deng Xiu'e in the face and said, "You're just a troublemaker. You want to make this family restless, right?"
