Lan Shixing had already found a family for his sister-in-law. The young man was twenty years old this year, and his family was small, with only two brothers. His older brother was serving in the army and had been promoted to officer. His parents were healthy, hardworking, and good-tempered.
Who knew that the sister-in-law had secretly started an affair with a young intellectual from Shanghai who had been sent down to the village?
Feng Yucai is good-looking, but he's a complete idiot when it comes to work. He's always impeccably groomed, but the only problems he has when he gets down on the ground are backache and buttock pain.
How do farmers make a living?
Does that mean that once the two of them get married, the sister-in-law will have to work in the fields to earn a living and support him?
Lan Shixing dared not hide it and hurriedly told his father-in-law what had happened. His father-in-law was so angry that his goatee twitched. In a fit of rage, he took his daughter home and locked her up.
Zhao Di cried and made a scene, saying that if she was not allowed to marry Yu Cai in this lifetime, she would become a nun!
The father-in-law was so angry that he blurted out, "Even if you become a monk, I won't let you marry that bastard Feng Yucai!"
The conflict between the two sides was giving Lan Shixing a headache. His two-year-old son was also having trouble adjusting to his aunt's departure and developed a high fever in the middle of the night.
He came to the county town to buy medicine, and when he passed by the state-run restaurant, he happened to see Feng Yucai looking all respectable standing with a girl.
He immediately became suspicious and rushed into the state-run restaurant. Sure enough, he saw Feng Yucai calling a middle-aged man "uncle," while the little girl next to him blushed with embarrassment.
How can we tolerate this?
Lan Shixing sneered and gave Feng Yucai a big slap in the face!
damn it!
My sister-in-law went on a hunger strike and attempted suicide because of you, causing a huge uproar!
You actually met my parents holding hands with another woman!
President Yu was already dissatisfied with Feng Yucai, and taking advantage of the chaos of Lan Shixing unilaterally beating Feng Yucai, he pulled Yu Chengfen away and gave her a good scolding when they got home!
For a man, the most important thing is his character!
How can someone who tries to have their cake and eat it too make friends?
To actually want to entrust one's life to someone? That's ridiculous!
Yu Chengfen stayed at home, distraught and constantly in tears.
Feng Yucai was in a terrible situation. First, he was beaten into a pulp by Lan Shixing, and then he was sent to do the dirtiest and most tiring work.
I've been working here for over a month now, and I've lost weight; my face isn't as radiant as it used to be.
He grabbed a handful of cow dung from his pocket and scattered it on the ground, then listlessly asked Li Xiangdong, "How did you know?"
This is asking Li Xiangdong how he knew his affair with two women had been discovered.
Li Xiangdong had already guessed what was going on since he saw Aunt Lan acting strangely at the county supply and marketing cooperative last time, and now seeing Feng Yucai's miserable state, he was even more certain.
He said maliciously, "Does Shi Fengfeng know that you're two-timing?"
Feng Yucai glanced at Li Xiangdong, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
"What happened? Did you two break up ahead of schedule?"
"It seems she's hooking up with your uncle again."
"What?!"
Li Xiangdong jumped three feet high in shock!
His aunt is pregnant, isn't she?
My uncle cheated on me while I was pregnant!
"are you sure?"
Feng Yucai chuckled, "I'm not really sure, it's just that Shi Fengfeng suddenly stopped coming to see me. I was just making things up earlier."
Li Xiangdong suppressed his doubts and got down to business, "Do you people in Shanghai eat a kind of green vegetable called 'auspicious vegetable' during the Spring Festival?"
"Eating isn't just for the Spring Festival; we eat as soon as winter begins."
Li Xiangdong perked up. "Do you know where I can buy seeds for the lucky vegetable? Do you know how to plant it?"
Feng Yucai tossed his hair and said, "I'm an educated youth, how would I know how to grow vegetables!"
Li Xiangdong was speechless. "Now you can do it, can't you? You can even spread manure. Look how evenly you spread it!"
Feng Yucai: ......
"Well, my grandma used to grow vegetables in the suburbs, she might know. I'll write to her and ask her later!"
"There's no time to write a letter, I'll go to Shanghai in person tomorrow."
Feng Yucai's eyes lit up; ever since he was beaten, he had been extremely homesick.
“Go talk to Lan Shixing and I’ll take you to Shanghai! Shanghai isn’t like your little place. If someone farts in the east of the city, you can smell the stench in the west. Shanghai is so big, you’ll definitely get lost.”
Li Xiangdong wanted to roll his eyes when he heard him say that Lan Shixing hadn't hit him hard enough!
However, it would be much more convenient if Feng Yucai could give directions, saving a lot of effort and time.
"Can Captain Lan let you go back to visit your family?"
"You can do it, go and say it!"
Feng Yucai stared at Li Xiangdong with anxious eyes. He didn't want to stay with cow dung for another minute. He had been hit in the nose by the stench of cow dung, and now everything smelled bad!
Li Xiangdong thought for a moment, "This favor is not easy to ask for!"
Feng Yucai grasped Li Xiangdong's hands with both of them, saying, "Even if I owe you a favor, I will definitely repay you when I become successful in the future!"
Li Xiangdong hurriedly shook off his hand, "You're repaying me by staying away from me now!"
......
In fact, Li Xiangdong's reputation in Huichuan County is currently at its zenith.
The high-yield corn variety "Pohong No. 1" that he acquired set a record of 2,018 jin of white corn and 1,569 jin of dry kernels per mu!
You know, back when they were launching satellites, they only dared to report a weight of 2,000 jin!
Furthermore, the now-famous Qiongsu watermelon has trucks from all over the province lining up to deliver money to Lijiapo.
This is also thanks to Li Xiangdong!
Therefore, when Li Xiangdong came to find Lan Shixing, he did not treat him as a fourteen-year-old child at all.
He politely invited Li Xiangdong to sit down, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, asked, "Xiangdong, is there something you need today?"
"Uncle Lan, there is indeed something I need to trouble you with."
Li Xiangdong didn't hide anything and told her about his plan to grow bok choy. "I'm going to Shanghai this time, and I don't know anyone there, so I'd like to ask Feng, the educated youth, to show me the way. I don't know if it will interfere with your team's work!"
Lan Shixing's mind raced. A ready-made opportunity to make money had been presented to him. If he didn't seize it, all those years as the brigade leader would have been for nothing.
Thinking about the great unity, Feng Yucai didn't seem so hateful anymore.
"Xiangdong, we're busy planting winter wheat right now, and we're indeed short-handed." Then, changing the subject, he added, "But since you asked, Xiangdong, how could I, as your uncle, refuse!"
Li Xiangdong quickly expressed his gratitude.
Upon hearing this good news, Feng Yucai was overjoyed and wept. Li Xiangdong gave him a few more instructions, and after agreeing to meet at the station the next day, he went home.
8 PM.
Feng Yucai boiled a large pot of water, washed himself thoroughly, and just as he finished washing and hanging his clothes to dry, he saw Lan Shixing strolling over with his hands behind his back.
Feng Yucai shuddered immediately, as if Lan Shixing's fan-sized slap was about to land on his face again!
The experience of those dozens of great competitions was truly unforgettable.
"B-B-Captain, what brings you here?"
Feng Yucai stammered as he spoke, unconsciously taking several steps back.
