In Yan Yuxiang's pig farm, most of the workers went home after work, leaving only Brother Dog and two young people who were still burying pigs.

The lime had already been pulled back, Yan Yuxiang lit all the lights in the factory, then pushed a small cart, and began to scatter around the pigsty.

After a while, I saw Brother Dog coming over, he didn't speak, but directly picked up the shovel and worked with Yan Yuxiang.

Yan Yuxiang asked, "Is it buried?" ......He didn't wear a mask, and the lime went down his mouth into his lungs, choking him to cough.

Seeing this, Brother Dog ran back to the house and got him a mask, but Yan Yuxiang refused.

He said: "If you don't bring it, it will be uncomfortable to bring it." ”

Brother Dog had no choice but to put the mask in his pocket before saying, "Alas...... I can't bury it, I can't see it, and I'll alarm the animal husbandry station!"

Yan Yuxiang turned his head and said, "What?"

Brother Dog said: "Let the people from the county animal husbandry station come down and take a look, if it doesn't work, bury it on the spot!"

Yan Yuxiang waved his hand and said, "No need, we have enough of our own manpower, besides, this situation does not occur in all factories, don't think too badly." ”

Brother Dog said: "Yuxiang, don't comfort yourself, now this situation has occurred in all the factories, and there are many pigs in it, I can't see it, just ......."

Yan Yuxiang raised his head, he knew that Brother Dog was telling the truth, but he said again: "This is related to Guo Qisheng's factory, it is a reason that he does not alarm the association, if this matter is told to the county, Yanxiang Village will be completely finished, even if we bury all our pigs, I don't have the courage to be such a sinner!"

Brother Dog said: "Then what's the difference between you and Guo Qisheng?"

Yan Yuxiang did not speak, but calmly looked at the rows of factories.

Brother Dog felt that what he said might be a little heavy, and said, "I didn't mean that,......"

Yan Yuxiang waved his hand, interrupted him, and said: "There is really no difference between me and Guo Qisheng, he is unwilling to tell the association, it is for his own factory, I don't want to tell the county, it is for the reputation of Yanxiang Village, in the final analysis, it is a selfish behavior!"

Brother Dog realized that he had said the wrong thing and said, "Yuxiang, don't think about it!"

Yan Yuxiang said: "I have to think about this matter again, give me one night's time, and report it tomorrow if it doesn't work." ”

Brother Dog said: "Well, there is another thing, the children are unwilling to do it,......" He said this very quietly, both afraid that Yan Yuxiang would hear it, and afraid that Yan Yuxiang would not hear it.

Yan Yuxiang raised his head and said, "Why, I don't lack anything from them!"

Brother Dog said: "When you went to the brigade in the afternoon, they told me that the No. 5 virus was going to be infected, and they didn't dare to earn this kind of money!

Yan Yuxiang understood, he said: "The No. 5 virus is going to be transmitted to people, but didn't I say it, the most serious thing is a cold, and it can't reach that stage, why don't they believe it!"

Brother Dog said: "Alas...... It's not that they don't believe it, there's a reason for it. ”

Yan Yuxiang looked at the flickering Brother Dog and said, "Brother Dog, if you have anything to say, you are right, we don't have to hide between us, alas...... Now that it's come to this point, there's nothing more to say. ”

Brother Dog said: "Well, there is another reason that the pig farm will develop like this, and sooner or later it will be finished, and they will not be able to do it for a few days, Yuxiang, no matter how big the factory is, it will not be able to hold hundreds of pigs to die!"

Yan Yuxiang listened to his sincere words, and saw him put the shovel in his hand on the ground, so he sat down and said, "Okay, if they want to resign, let's bury it, and if it doesn't work, we will report to the animal husbandry station to count the ball!"

When Brother Dog saw him sit down, he also put the shovel buckle on the ground, sat on the shovel handle, took out the cigarette case from his pocket, and took out a cigarette.

Yan Yuxiang saw Brother Dog take out the cigarette case, he didn't know where the interest came from, and he also reached out to ask for one, he couldn't remember the last time he smoked.

Two people sat on the ground, smoking cigarettes.

I saw Yan Yuxiang think for a while, and said: "The matter has come to this point, there is nothing to be nostalgic about, so let's do it, I will go to report to the animal husbandry station tomorrow, you are right, if you don't report it, there will be no difference between me and Guo Qisheng." ”

Brother Dog asked tentatively, "Then ...... these children?"

Yan Yuxiang said: "If you don't want to come, you won't use it tomorrow, you tell them, take the time to go to my house when you're done, and I'll settle the bill for them." ”

Brother Dog said "um", he obviously came to be a lobbyist for this group of children.

At the end, Yan Yuxiang said: "Brother dog, I don't mean anything else, if you feel embarrassed, I don't blame you." ”

Although Yan Yuxiang's words were more vague, Brother Dog still understood what he meant, and only listened to him: "Hey, half of my body is in the ground, I'm afraid that this won't work! Besides, if you hadn't seen me pitiful at the time and asked me to work in the factory, I would still be wandering around the village every day......

Yan Yuxiang had already interrupted Brother Dog's words many times, only to see him wave his hand and say: "Brother Dog, don't say such things, in this life, there are no words for charity and gratitude." ”

I saw him take a puff of cigarette and slowly exhale it, before he continued: "Everyone has their own way of living, what you ask others to do, it is a violation of other people's freedom, this is not called charity, this is called deprivation, just like in the old society, the landlord deprived the peasants of their rights is the same reason, so I am ashamed of you!"

Brother Dog said: "Yuxiang, are you stimulated by something?

Yan Yuxiang said: "What can't be compared, it's all the same in essence, they all think they're great, they always want to support justice, blame others, and say it's for the good of the other party, but in fact, they're all fucking bastards!"

Brother Dog said: "Alas, Yuxiang, are you scared? You must not think so, don't dare to say anything else, Yanxiang Village doesn't know how many people are worried about your goodness!"

Yan Yuxiang smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "My good, Brother Dog, you think too much, no one cares about our good, but you have left a lot of ,......."

At this time, I only heard two "bang" sounds from the back mountain in the distance, thinking that the engineering team of the back mountain was working day and night, digging coal non-stop.

Hearing this voice, Yan Yuxiang said "hehe" twice before continuing: "These things are so big to think about, I can't say clearly, I don't know who is right and who is wrong, or Xiuping said it well, 'I can't bear it, but I complain that the world is difficult'!"

Brother Dog nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "Alas...... Listening to you, I feel that most of my life has been in vain, and I feel that I have not lived in vain at all in my life. ”

After hearing this, Yan Yuxiang laughed dryly.

I only heard Brother Dog hurriedly say: "Hey, don't say it, I can explain it to you, when I think about your goodness, I feel that my life has been in vain, because I am not as capable as you; But no one is perfect, Yuxiang, when I see your sad face, I feel that I have not lived in vain in this life, not in vain at all! You say that if I have your great ability, wouldn't it be as painful as you?"

After Yan Yuxiang heard this, he felt that Brother Dog was really listening to him, he hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time, whether it was his wife Yan Xiuping or his son Yan Huadong, every time he talked, he always felt that his dearest and loved ones had a perfunctory attitude, which made him very lonely in his heart.

What Yan Yuxiang doesn't understand is that these people are not perfunctory, but they don't understand Yan Yuxiang's words and deeds.

Brother Dog looked at Yan Yuxiang, who was stunned, and felt that this topic might be a little heavy, and wanted to transfer it, so he said: "You don't want a tendon, now you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and the children are all promising, so you don't care what they do!"

Yan Yuxiang naturally knew who the "they" in Brother Dog's mouth meant, and only listened to him: "Hehe, promising? I used to think that my children did have long faces, but now I don't think so." ”

Brother Dog didn't understand his words, and said, "Look, this is another tendon, right?"

Yan Yuxiang said: "No, Brother Dog, I'm not a tendon, you say Dongzi, we haven't been to school, and he knows a lot more than us, so what's the use? I hope he can be the most normal ordinary person, no matter at any time, don't be top-notch, 'getting ahead' is for those who are in pain, I just want my children to live happily by themselves!"

The two of them talked happily, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed, only to hear Brother Gou smile and say: "You are not a tendon, others are looking forward to their children getting ahead, but you want to press down such a good seedling in Dongzi, I am really not satisfied." ”

Yan Yuxiang also smiled: "What's good, Dongzi is my son, I know best, this kid, he has a lot of ideas, I think he can toss better than me, this is also the point I am most worried about, or that sentence, Dongzi can live like an ordinary person is the best, don't follow my old path." ”

After listening to Yan Yuxiang's words, Brother Dog was a little incomprehensible, but he didn't speak again, maybe this is the difference in the realm of people.

After smoking this cigarette, Yan Yuxiang stood up, patted the dust on his buttocks, and said, "Brother dog, you just do what I say, don't force them if they don't want to stay." ”

Brother Dog also stood up and said, "Well, don't take this matter too seriously!"

Yan Yuxiang smiled and said, "Don't take it seriously, anyway, that's it, oh, by the way, thank you, Brother Dog." ”

Brother Dog inexplicably endured this sudden thanks, and he said shyly: "Thank me for what, I'll help you in the next few days, you don't have to worry." ”

Yan Yuxiang said: "I'm not thanking you for this, forget it, don't talk about it, let's work!" After speaking, he picked up the shovel first.

Brother Dog didn't go with him to sprinkle lime again, but returned to the factory, as if to give a few words, and after a while, he saw the two young men come out.

When they passed by Yan Yuxiang's side, they said embarrassedly: "Uncle Yuxiang, I'm sorry, let's go back first." ”

Yan Yuxiang waved his hand and said, "What is there to be sorry for, I am sorry for everyone, you remember to go home when you have time, I will settle the account for you." ”

The two young men agreed to go out.

That night, Yan Yuxiang and Brother Dog stayed up all night, they first dug a big pit, then sprinkled thick lime in the pit, and finally buried the sick pigs one by one.

When it was almost dawn, Yan Yuxiang said: "Brother Dog, you go back to rest first, I have to go to the county in the morning, anyway, I have already decided to report to the animal husbandry station, and you don't need to come over." ”

Brother Dog said: "Yuxiang, you should go back and rest, I'll just sleep in the factory, you can rest assured to do your business, I'll take care of the factory for you." As he spoke, he took off his mask.

Yan Yuxiang nodded, he didn't go home, but rested in the factory for a while, planning to leave directly after dawn.

He went to the county in the morning to do two things, the first was to report the No. 5 virus to the animal husbandry station, and the second thing was to take the 200,000 yuan.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, Yan Yuxiang returned to the village with the people from the animal husbandry station, and he called Yan Decheng and a group of other people, asking them to go to the brigade, and he wanted to hand over the 200,000 yuan to the association in front of everyone, instead of handing it over to individuals.

Everyone heard that Yan Yuxiang had withdrawn the money, but it was unprecedentedly fast, and after a while, they all gathered in the village committee, and there was no more turmoil in this matter.

At this time, I only heard Yan Decheng say: "Brother Yuxiang, there is nothing to look good in my factory, it is all dead, let's go to your factory first." ”

Yan Yuxiang said: "It's okay, then let's go to my factory first." With that, he walked out first.

At this moment, I saw a person break in from the team, it was the black bull. and Yan Yuxiang almost collided.

Yan Yuxiang said: "Black Bull, what are you doing in such a hurry!"

Hei Niu raised his head and saw that it was Yan Yuxiang, and said, "Ouch, Uncle Yuxiang, where have you gone!" I've been looking for you all morning, you hurry home, go back with me now!"

Yan Yuxiang said: "Why? I have something to do now, and I want to accompany the county leaders to the factory to have a look." ”

Hei Niu said: "No, the whole family is waiting for you, you must go home with me first!"

Yan Yuxiang asked puzzledly: "You made it clear, what happened?"

Hei Niu looked at the group of people standing behind Yan Yuxiang and said, "This matter is not clear, but my aunt said that I will tie you back even if I tie you up today!"

At this time, I only heard the leader of the animal husbandry station say: "Yuxiang, then you can go home first, let's go to other factories first." ”

Yan Yuxiang saw the look of the black bull, although he didn't know what was going on, but for him, the factory was the most important thing at the moment, and he only heard him say: "Aren't you messing around!"

After speaking, he turned his head to the group of people: "Let's go, let's go to the factory first, and then talk about it after going to the factory." With that, he walked out first.

Everyone had no choice but to follow Yan Yuxiang to the factory.
