Then, pointing to his own buttocks, he shouted to Grandma Yan, "Grandma, hurry up and pull! There's more flesh here, pull here!"
Grandma Yan~
Southeast couldn't hold back any longer. He snatched the pipe from Grandma Yan's hand and whipped Liu Jin's buttocks twice, once on the left and once on the right, until he was so hurt he couldn't sit on either side.
Liu Jin was completely deflated, covering his buttocks with both hands, looking at Dongnan with tears welling up in his eyes. Dongnan immediately regretted it. It was just that the child liked to stay by his mother's side, it was just that the child spoke without thinking. It was just talk, why did he actually hit him?
He put down his pipe and rubbed Liu Jin's bottom with his big hand: "Dad was wrong, I shouldn't have hit you. Dad apologizes, please forgive Dad."
Liu Jin asked softly, "Dad, are you jealous? I like being here, so you're unhappy."
Southeast thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Dad isn't jealous. Dad is unhappy because you took advantage of Great-Grandma. You even said Great-Grandma was sick. You're the unfilial child."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jin immediately turned to look at Grandma Yan and said, "Grandma, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have taken advantage of you, and I shouldn't have said you were sick. Grandma, you're not sick, I'm the one who's sick."
Grandma Yan hugged Liu Jin tightly: "My good baby, I don't blame you. I know you want to stay here, so stay. I was just joking."
Wu Jinban ran up as soon as he saw this and hugged Grandma Yan tightly: "Grandma, Grandma, I want to stay here too, I want to stay with you."
Yan Xiaonan gave Southeast a thumbs up, saying, "His teaching methods are excellent and worth learning."
Southeast took out the contents of the large suitcase: "Grandma, Liu Jin has been living here all this time, which has been a hassle for you. These things were bought with the money Xue Mei saved up every month. You must accept them and don't give them back to us."
Grandma Yan nodded. If she didn't accept it, the child would feel guilty, which wouldn't be good. When Yan Xiaonan saw that there was a gift for her, she smiled and thanked her older brother. Yan Dongnan patted Nannan's head affectionately.
Liu Jin looked at his new clothes and happily ran around the room, having long forgotten about being beaten. Wu Jin followed behind, shouting, "Brother, brother, where are my clothes? Where are my new clothes?"
The Yan family was bustling again. When Yan Xiaoqiang returned, Dongnan had already filled the water vat with water, and the firewood was already piled up, so Dongnan didn't need to chop any.
Wu Jinban was sullen because he didn't have any new clothes. He only cheered up when Tang Xiaoling and Xinan came home from get off work and brought out new clothes. He hugged the new clothes and said to Liu Jin, "Brother, brother, I have new clothes too. Let's wear them together for the New Year."
During dinner, Dongnan told his family about the rumors he had heard and asked for their opinions. Cuihua didn't understand, Yan Xiaoqiang shook his head, and his grandmother didn't know either. Only Yan Xiaonan seemed to be thinking.
"Brother, after so many years at the grassroots level, have you achieved anything, or made any discoveries?"
Xuemei finally understood why Southeast only trusted Nannan. This insightful answer explained everything. But how did Nannan's brain work? How could she be so smart? No wonder Liujin kept an eye on Nannan. He was right to keep an eye on her.
Southeast nodded: "Nannan, I've discovered a way to increase the yield per acre of land, and the experiment has been very successful. I just don't know how to operate it?"
Yan Xiaonan felt it would be better to tell Southeast in advance: "Big brother, Uncle and Brother Ai Dang have come. They told me that the country will resume the college entrance examination next year, so you should prepare to go back to the agricultural university."
"What!" Dongnan was shocked. This news was even more exciting than the rumors. Dongnan didn't even want to eat anymore. He grabbed Yan Xiaonan and ran into the house. He wanted to analyze the truth of these rumors with his sister.
Yan Xiaonan fully understands Southeast's current mindset. They have achieved such excellent results, but they don't know who to tell, let alone whether they can put them into practice. This is somewhat cruel for a scientist.
The brother and sister talked late into the night. Yan Xiaonan told Dongnan, "Big brother, when you return to your original job, write a few more papers and publish your experimental results in newspapers and magazines. These are the achievements of your many years of working at the grassroots level. You can't give them up."
Yan Dongnan nodded repeatedly. His sister was right. He would organize the report and prepare to write his thesis after the New Year.
"Brother, you must write this in private, and hide all the data well. People's hearts are unpredictable, and you have to be careful not to let someone steal your credit." Yan Xiaonan emphasized, reminding his older brother that he was a shrewd man, but not a scheming one, especially when it came to such underhanded things. In fact, history has shown Yan Xiaonan that there are plenty of such people.
Yan Dongnan was startled and looked at Yan Xiaonan in disbelief. How could his sister even know this? "Nannan, what's the best way to prevent this? The data is all public information; anyone can see it."
"Just put the most important data away, or make two versions of the data, wouldn't that solve the problem?" Yan Xiaonan replied.
"Brother, it's not that I don't trust people, but if you really encounter something like this, how can you do it without any evidence to prove yourself? We don't harm people, but we have to be wary of them." Yan Xiaonan was worried that Dongnan would suspect her of being a scheming woman, so she quickly explained.
Yan Dongnan repeated Yan Xiaonan's words and memorized them. He compared the two versions of data and decided that it was better to keep them hidden. He thought that creating two sets of data would be better, as they would be more concealed and also help to maintain unity.
What Yan Dongnan didn't know was that his conversation with his sister today, and the decisions he made, saved him, saved agriculture, and severely punished those big rats who wanted to reap without sowing.
Tomorrow we'll be having a feast of pork stew. Yan Xiaonan yawned wearily. Dongnan felt embarrassed and could only go back to sleep. Before leaving, Yan Xiaonan reminded him, "Big brother, it's time to name Liujin. Next year, Liujin's household registration can follow you."
Southeast nodded repeatedly, then went back to think about a name and his thesis. Xuemei was still awake, mending Liujin's clothes. The boy was tough; the cuffs of his clothes and the knees of his pants were worn out and needed to be repaired.
The next day was the day to deliver the live pigs. After delivering the pigs and having a pig-slaughtering feast at noon, the Yan family sold half of the pork. Yan Xiaoqiang then told Village Chief Ma, "Uncle Village Chief, I will not raise pigs starting next year. You should find someone else to raise them."
Village Chief Ma was so shocked that he dropped his pipe. "Yan Xiaoqiang doesn't raise pigs? The pig-raising expert doesn't raise pigs? What a joke!"
Yan Xiaoqiang suggested, "Uncle Village Chief, we can't keep letting me win the title of 'Little Pig Raising Expert.' You're the village chief, it's your turn."
