"By the way, my family takes my mother's surname, and my biological father is Chen Shimei. After he was admitted to college, he abandoned his wife and children, so there are only three people in my family."

Shang Mingzhu talked about the past indifferently: "Don't ask where my uncle is when you go to my house. That person is still alive, but in our hearts he is dead."

When the college entrance examination was resumed, many educated youth returned to the city and abandoned their families and children to start over.

Before 03, a child's household registration could only be registered with the mother. Some male educated youths just slapped their butts and left. Anyway, they just got married in the village and did not get a marriage certificate.

After crossing a river, one wants to demolish the bridge. This kind of thing has been common throughout the ages.

Lin Qian smiled and praised: "Aunt Shang is so amazing. She raised you brothers and sisters by herself and even opened a pig farm."

Seeing that her reaction was genuine, Shang Mingzhu said proudly: "Although my mother only has a primary school education, she is a very sober person and never flinches when encountering difficulties."

A rural woman with a primary school education has such courage. Lin Qian asked with interest: "How did the aunt start a pig farm?"

Shang Mingzhu may have never mentioned her mother to others easily, so she opened up the conversation as soon as she said it: "My mother was a good pig raiser in the village. Later, when the reform and opening up came into good times, she was the first pig farm in the village. , there were more than a hundred pigs at the largest scale."

"But then we encountered swine fever, dozens of pigs died, and the pig farm couldn't continue. So she wanted to learn how to treat pigs. My mom is really brave. She dared to think and do it. She saw this in the newspaper The Agricultural University has a way to prevent swine fever, so I came to the Agricultural University alone to find Professor Liu."

Lin Qian was in awe of this Ms. Shang whom she had not yet met. When her marriage and career suffered setbacks, she did not complain about others, but persevered and made a new start in the world. It was really rare.

The two made an appointment to pick up Xiaonian that morning, and then Shang Mingzhu left school and went home to observe the subject of her thesis.

Lin Qian also started a plan to visit the library.

On the day of the New Year, after receiving a call from Shang Mingzhu, Lin Qian came out of the dormitory carrying nutritional supplements and fruits.

Before reaching the side gate of the school, I saw a four-wheel drive Dongfanghong series tractor parked outside the gate in the distance.

"Quick, come up." Shang Mingzhu stuck his head out of the window.

Lin Qian stepped into the car: "I thought it was a new tractor bought by the school."

"The aesthetics of school professors have always been in gray and autumnal colors. This one was just released this year, and it is my favorite bright red color! At the end of the semester, the instructor gave us a sum of money, and I bought it as soon as it arrived."

"Isn't it beautiful and powerful?" Shang Mingzhu asked with bright eyes.

Lin Qian nodded vaguely. She just wanted Shang Mingzhu to be better at driving. The way his hands were holding the steering wheel didn't look like someone who usually drives a tractor.

"Okay, let's set off right away!" Shang Mingzhu stepped on the accelerator vigorously.

Lin Qian's heart suddenly lifted.

A few seconds later, seeing that the car was not moving, Shang Mingzhu stepped on it a few more times and said doubtfully, "Hey, why isn't it moving?"

Lin Qian turned her head leisurely: "Because you haven't put it into gear yet."

"Haha, I forgot, I must be too excited to see you!"

A minute later, the tractor finally made a roar.

Shang Mingzhu shouted excitedly: "Sit tight!"

Why sit still? She had an ominous premonition.

.........

"Put on the brakes, brake!"

"That's the throttle!"

Only a few hundred meters away from the school gate, the tractor made a loud noise and finally stopped.

Lin Qian sat in the car with lingering fear. They almost rushed into the ditch on the roadside together with the car and people.

A drop of cold sweat slipped from Shang Mingzhu's forehead.

Lin Qian broke the silence in the car: "How did you drive the tractor from home to school?"

There was some confusion in Shang Mingzhu's eyes: "Aunt Li, who works at my house, said that driving a tractor is easy and you can learn it once you learn it. She happened to be going home today and wanted to come to school to take the subway."

"So when she drove me to school on the tractor, she taught me how to drive it, and it was me who took over for the second half of the journey. I was pretty good at driving, and my aunt kept praising me for my talent."

Lin Qian suddenly felt that God had treated her well and she was really lucky today.

Just learned today? "You are driving without a license!"

Shang Mingzhu looked at Lin Qian with doubtful eyes: "Have you never heard that you need to take a driver's license test for tractors?"

Yes, the control was not strict in 04. The main reason was that the tractors could not move very fast.

"I'm studying farming, so it's better for me to drive."

The two changed positions, and the roar of the tractor started again, this time it didn't stop.

On the way, they met the eldest brother of the Shang family who was driving a motorcycle. He scolded Shang Mingzhu: "Why are you so bold? You don't even have a phone with you. Mom and I are almost dying!"

"It's not like we don't have a car at home. Didn't we agree that I would drive and pick him up together?"

Shang Mingzhu said aggrievedly: "But that truck is for pigs, so it smells bad. Besides, my four-wheel drive tractor is very windy when driven out!"

"How can you be worthy of your classmates if something happens?"

Mentioning her, Lin Qian smiled gently: "I'm fine. Mingzhu just turned the tide at the last moment. Neither the car nor the people fell into the ditch. We finally saved the day and were safe and sound."

As expected, the storm from the eldest brother of the Shang family became more violent.

Shang Mingzhu gave Lin Qian a pitiful look, "You are adding fuel to the fire."

Lin Qian looked away and gave you a long lesson.

When the three of them arrived at the place, Lin Qian drove the tractor into the warehouse and parked it, and asked Shang Mingzhu: "Is your pig farm over there?"

Shang Mingzhu pointed in another direction and said: "No, the pig farm smells bad. It takes more than ten minutes to walk there. This is my family's farm."

That was really a big family and a big business. Lin Qian jumped out of the car and said, "The real person doesn't show his face, but the rich girl is by my side."

"My mother is the God of Wealth. Some of these places were bought by my mother in the early years, and some were contracted."

Shang Mingzhu helped Lin Qian carry her things and said as she walked: "We have such a deep friendship, why do you bring so many things when you come to the house? Do you not regard me as a friend?"

"Hey, Mingzhu, you are so awesome. Xiaoxi thinks of you as a good friend, so she prepares gifts carefully."

Lin Qian looked at the person who came. Her face was scarred by time, but she walked with a wind and her eyes were firm.

And as soon as he speaks, people feel that this person is very simple.

"But next time you come to Auntie's house, don't see anyone outside. I heard from Mingzhu that you like to eat pork, and Auntie has prepared a table of specialty dishes today."

When Lin Qian ate the food on the table, her favorable impression of Aunt Shang immediately exploded. Every dish was delicious.

The pork balls are chewy, the braised pork is delicious, the fried tenderloin is crispy...

After eating, Lin Qian volunteered to clean up the dishes together, and Aunt Shang asked Mingzhu to take her out for a walk.

The two of them walked around the outside tightly, and only then did Lin Qian truly understand how big this farm was, and how hard-earned this family fortune was.

In the afternoon, four people gathered around the fire to play mahjong. Lin Qian was really proficient at this. The other three might not play often and were very arrogant, but when they touched a good card, the expressions on their faces showed it immediately.

After playing a few rounds, Lin Qian started to lose her temper. She asked at the card table about growing rice in their hometown.

Aunt Shang shook her head and said, "Rice has not been planted in recent years, and the water in the paddy fields is salty. The authorities sent experts to look at it, saying that it was caused by seawater intrusion that turned the paddy fields into salty water."
