Although the first pig raising ended without a problem, Yan Yuxiang did not give up, but invested thousands of times more energy to do it. Sometimes people want to accomplish something, not because they like it, but more out of helplessness. Of course, it is still the unknown Yan Yuxiang we are familiar with, and he has never said what the reason for him to insist on this matter is.

Within a few days, Yan Yuxiang separated the ten piglets and sows and moved them to another pigsty, because of the first experience, this time their growth was very good, and even half a month earlier than the previous little black pig slaughtered (sold). There is nothing wrong with this, which is inseparable from Yan Yuxiang's hard work, he not only takes care of these pigs day and night, but also takes advantage of the time of feeding the pigs to keep researching, and even he knows the preferences of each pig. Especially in the days when it was about to be slaughtered, I couldn't sleep all night to take care of it. How can such hard work not be successful?

And that sow is really competitive, and it has maintained more than ten fetuses in a row, which makes Yan Yuxiang very happy. The problem then arises as a result of the need to expand operations. Before we expand our operations, we have to mention one more thing.

Yanxiang Village has a temple fair every year, this tradition does not know when it began, it has been maintained until now, the day is set on June 18 every year, the temple fair in the countryside is still very prosperous, when the relatives and friends of each family are coming, the school in the village will also be closed for a day, so this is also the happiest time for the children.

And this year, in addition to the previous relatives and friends, Yan Yuxiang's family also came to a person. The man's surname was Zhao, and his name was Zhao Chunming. Seeing that he is slightly younger than Yan Yuxiang, if you want to talk about the relationship between the two, you have to talk about it from Dongzi's illness.

It is said that when Dongzi was seven years old, he had a serious illness that is still unclear, and then he was admitted to the first hospital of the city twice. At that time, there was a little boy as old as Dongzi living next to Dongzi's hospital bed, who was also hospitalized because of illness, and the boy's father was Zhao Chunming. Yan Yuxiang and Zhao Chunming found that the two had a lot in common through simple exchanges, and they were really rare confidants, and then let their respective wives take care of the children, and then went to a tavern to talk about the world, very happy.

Through the exchange, Yan Yuxiang learned that Zhao Chunming was a driver for the mayor of the newly established development zone in the city, and Zhao Chunming was still an ordinary driver at that time, who would know what it would be like in the future. By the time Fuyuko was discharged from the hospital, the little boy's illness was almost cured, and the two left each other's contact information and separated.

At that time, communication and transportation were not convenient, so the two people communicated very little, although Yan Yuxiang once said that the temple fair in Yanxiang Village was the eighteenth day of June of the lunar calendar every year, but he never thought that Zhao Chunming could come. In Yan Yuxiang's heart, he may just regard Zhao Chunming as a passerby.

At this year's temple fair, Zhao Chunming brought his son, who was as old as Dongzi, to Yan Yuxiang's house as a guest. Yan Yuxiang was overjoyed, at that time, not every rural person in the city had a few friends with such heads and faces. Zhao Chunming, who met again, was much more fortunate than when he was in the hospital, and the father and son drove a very high-end looking car and walked past Yanxiang Village, and the people in the village talked about it. I thought it was a cadre in the county who was invited by the village chief to be a guest, because other people did not have such ability.

That day, the banquet was dispersed, Yan Yuxiang and Zhao Chunming both drank high, Yan Yuxiang's wine was not particularly good, he liked to scold people after drinking, and Yan Xiuping didn't bother to pay attention to him. I saw him and Zhao Chunming holding hands and sitting and talking in the room very affectionately.

Zhao Chunming said with a flushed face: "Brother, I came this time to pass the temple fair in your village, and I took you away. ”

Yan Yuxiang said, "Where are you going to take your brother?" He also dazed. just took the opportunity to pick up such a sentence.

Zhao Chunming said proudly: "I'll take you to the city and live a good life, what do you have to mess with in this broken countryside!"

"What? Go to the city? What do I eat and drink when I go to the city? I am a farmer, and I can only starve if I go!" Yan Yuxiang waved his hand and refused.

I saw that Zhao Chunming deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I won't drive for the district chief now." ”

Yan Yuxiang said with concern: "Then what are you doing now?"

Zhao Chunming laughed and said, "What else can I do to make a living!" The district chief asked me to go to the Environmental Protection Bureau of the Development Zone to be a deputy director. ”

Yan Yuxiang didn't know what the EPA does, but the name sounded like it was a chimney. Because he had always heard that the village's own brick factory was often patronized by the county environmental protection bureau.

Zhao Chunming saw Yan Yuxiang's blank face, so he explained: "Now the large and small factories and coal mines in the development zone are all up to us...... Yan Yuxiang gave a thumbs up and answered: "Then you are really amazing, I think when you were in the hospital, you were still a driver for others, and you became an official in a blink of an eye." Yan Yuxiang was sincerely admired.

Zhao Chunming continued: "Hey, what's the matter, if you go to the development zone with me, you can do it better than me." As he spoke, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, Yan Yuxiang looked at the cigarette box, which was densely packed with a string of pinyin, which he didn't recognize. Zhao Chunming took two of them and handed one to Yan Yuxiang, Yan Yuxiang shook his hand shyly, he used to smoke, and his addiction to smoking was not small, but he smoked so hard that he hurt his lungs, and he coughed more than once he was in winter, and later quit at the strong request of his wife Yan Xiuping.

I saw that Zhao Chunming ignored him, but inserted one of them back into the cigarette case, and then took out a very high-end lighter from another pocket, and slowly lit the cigarette. Yan Yuxiang looked at Zhao Chunming's appearance in a suit and leather shoes, which was very different from when he saw him in the hospital, it has only been a few years! People really can't be compared.

Zhao Chunming took a puff of cigarette, then left the smoke in his mouth and slowly exhaled it, as if he was an old cadre. I only heard him pause, and said with confidence: "In addition to coming to see the temple fair in your village this time, there is another thing to ask you to go out of the mountain, you go to the city with me, let's work together, and the development zone will be ours at that time." ”

Yan Yuxiang was noncommittal, he really couldn't answer, this matter came too suddenly, he never thought of going out of Yanxiang Village in his life, and Zhao Chunming's appearance was obviously an accident for him.

Zhao Chunming looked at Yan Yuxiang, who was hesitant, and decided not to go around the bend with him, and said directly: "I'll tell you directly, brother, I moved a little fast this time, and my steps are a bit big, I am short of people now, since the two of us parted in the hospital, I know that you are a person who is willing to do practical things, and it will never be wrong for you to help me." I promise you, as long as you come, I will give you a small mine first, haven't you also worked in the mine, and it will be easy to do it if you have experience. Wait for me to move up a liter, and then mobilize you, anyway, you're better than here. ”

This is something that Yan Yuxiang can't think of, but in the eyes of an honest person like him, there must be no such good thing in the world, and he doesn't know how to respond to Zhao Chunming. Refuse directly, he is indeed tempted, if he accepts it, it is a little hasty now. Zhao Chunming saw that he couldn't move, and said in a low voice: "Do you know who my boss is?"

Yan Yuxiang wants to know such a question, it stands to reason that a driver can rise so fast, there must be someone on top. Yan Yuxiang asked rhetorically, "Can this also be said to me?"

"Hey, you see you're outside, aren't you?, we're good buddies, what can't I say to you, to tell you the truth, have you ever heard of such a character as Bai Liang?" asked Zhao Chunming.

I have heard of Bai Liang Yan Yuxiang, it is said that this person has also risen quickly, and in just a few years, he has been promoted from the deputy county magistrate of the county all the way to the mayor, and this year he was elected to the provincial standing committee. "Are you talking about the mayor of our city?" asked Yan Yuxiang.

"That's right, I got on his line a year ago, he transferred me, and now he wants to transfer to the province, he personally promised me that as long as he goes to the province, I can be the head of the development zone in the city. Zhao Chunming said proudly.

"Oh" Yan Yuxiang simply agreed, Bai Liang is a parent official who can't be beaten by eight poles, in his opinion, people are in the sky, he is below, and he can't be compared. Zhao Chunming's hole card was revealed, but instead of arousing Yan Yuxiang's enthusiasm, it suppressed it a lot. Because Yan Yuxiang heard that when Bai Liang was serving in their county, he had done a lot of bad things. In this year, Huang Zhong destroyed the clay kettle and thundered!

After Zhao Chunming finished speaking, seeing Yan Yuxiang's disdainful look, he suddenly felt embarrassed and wanted to change the topic, so he said: "Brother, I didn't ask you to give me an answer now, even if you don't agree to brother, we are still good buddies, don't affect the relationship between the two of us because of this matter." This sentence was very useful to Yan Yuxiang, and he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes." ”

I only heard Zhao Chunming say again: "I came today to ask my brother for something." "I don't know why, now Yan Yuxiang is a lot afraid of Zhao Chunming, not because he became an official, but because he doesn't understand. He didn't know how much thought Zhao Chunming in front of him had to spend on himself, and he didn't know whether these thoughts were good or bad.

Zhao Chunming said: "The third thing I came here today is not for anything else, but for my wife to ask for a reluctant invitation." ”

Yan Yuxiang said: "You just say anything." I can do what I can. ”

"Then you just promised your brother?" Zhao Chunming said excitedly.

Yan Yuxiang hurriedly said, "It all depends on what is going on, right?"

"Haha, look at you scared, in fact, this is a good thing, you know, I only have such a son, my parents have always felt a little thin, but my wife is unwilling to have another child, besides, we are all at this age, right? So I and my wife combined, it just so happens that there are three girls on your side, do you see if you can even me one? I have seen it before, I think Xia Er is good, if you don't think about it, give me Charles, you can rest assured, I will definitely treat him as his own biological girl, good food and drink. After that, Zhao Chunming patted his chest and reassured.

After hearing this, Yan Yuxiang was anxious, plus he drank wine, and the swear words almost blurted out, and then calmed down and said: "Although I am a farmer, I can still feed them, the children are not young, I don't think there is any need for this, right?"

Zhao Chunming said: "Look at your expression is the same as cutting a piece of meat, I also know that the children are older, I mean the child is still surnamed Yan, but the two ends are called Dad, the child runs at both ends, whoever has good conditions will provide it, and I don't want to buy it out! What do you think of my idea?"

After hearing this, Yan Yuxiang breathed a sigh of relief, this is good for Xia Er, but how can he bear it! I had to push and say: "I will discuss with your sister-in-law, and I will reply to you when I am done." ”

I saw Zhao Chunming stand up and said, "Okay, you have to think about these two things, or what I said, no matter what your decision is, you can't hurt the feelings of the two of us." ”

Yan Yuxiang also stood up and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely discuss it carefully, and you can just listen to my reply when it's over." ”

Seeing that what he said was almost done, Zhao Chunming got up to go back, but Yan Yuxiang said, "Why are you in a hurry! You have dinner with me and then leave, so that you can sober up." How do you drive like you now? ”

Zhao Chunming laughed and said: "Don't worry, brother, if I don't have this ability, what kind of director will I be." I'll come back to see you and the kids in a few days. With that, he walked out.

Yan Yuxiang looked at Zhao Chunming's swaying figure, and couldn't tell whether he had drunk too much or the other party had drunk too much. Yan Xiuping saw that the two were almost talking, and Zhao Chunming had to leave, so he tried his best to stay, but this kind of person just has to come to face you, you let him go east, and he wants to show his ability to go west. Maybe if he had driven him away, he would have stayed!

After dinner, Yan Yuxiang's wine was almost sober, relatives and friends were gone, and the children were playing in the village, leaving only the husband and wife. Yan Yuxiang told Zhao Chunming's words to his wife.

Let's talk about the first thing first, Yan Xiuping thinks that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and finally has the opportunity to break away from this village and Yan Yuxiang's family and live truly independently. But her husband Yan Yuxiang obviously didn't think so, he could feel it from Zhao Chunming's gestures, this boat can't be boarded, and if it capsizes, he won't even be able to save his life. But Yan Xiuping doesn't think so, she thinks this is a great opportunity for her to get ahead, and if she misses it, she will never have it again. The two discussed this matter for a long time, but there was no conclusion, Yan Xiuping finally angrily threw down a sentence: "I am marrying a chicken with a chicken, and marrying a dog with a dog." You can do it. ”

Regarding the second matter, the two did not have any differences, and they both felt that how could their children follow others! Even if they were in great difficulty, they were still their own children, and if they had children, they would have roots, and if they had roots, they would have hope.
