He Cheng was wearing a long black woolen coat of the same style as Su Ran, which made him look particularly capable and handsome. The coat tightly wrapped around his strong shoulders and slender waist, highlighting his slender and straight figure.

He walked to Su Ran's side and when he got closer, Su Ran saw the smile on He Cheng's face.

His nose was straight and tall, his lips were clearly lined, and his usually fierce-looking face now had a smile on it, making him seem more approachable.

Looking at Su Ran's black coat, He Cheng curled his lips and asked, "Are you done?"

Su Ran nodded, "Well, when did you come?"

He Cheng: "Just arrived a while ago."

"Have Sister Zhang Xue and Xiao Yun left?" Su Ran asked.

He Cheng nodded, "Yeah, when I came, they were just walking out, so they let me in and wait."

"Okay, by the way, some chicks have hatched. Do you want to go and see?" Su Ran said with a smile.

Hearing this, He Cheng's eyes lit up, "Okay!"

He hasn't seen the newly hatched chicks yet! Curious!!

Su Ran and He Cheng walked into the room where the incubator was placed, and as soon as they came in, they heard a "chirp chirp" sound.

He Cheng was surprised and walked over to the sound, only to see a group of fluffy chicks huddled together, chirping. He Cheng squatted down, carefully observing the chicks, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Look at these little guys, they are so cute! And they are so lively!"

Su Ran smiled and moved closer to He Cheng, gently patting his shoulder: "Yeah, being lively means these little guys are healthy, which is a good thing, hahahaha."

He Cheng raised his head, looked at Su Ran, and replied with a smile: "I see, are the other eggs about to hatch? Will your room be able to hold them by then?"

Su Ran nodded, "Soon, it should be a matter of a few days."

"Well, if you are too busy, just come to me. I'm always on standby." He Cheng said with a faint smile.

Su Ran smiled and said, "Okay, if I'm really too busy, I'll definitely come to you. Don't worry, I won't be polite to you."

He Cheng made an "ok" gesture.

Su Ran looked at his amused expression and curled her lips, "Let's go, it's getting late, let's go home and eat!"

He Cheng nodded with a smile, "Okay."

The two men stood up and walked out. After coming out, they locked the door and continued walking towards the Jiangshui Brigade.

Although walking takes longer to commute, it also provides more opportunities to talk.

Looking at Su Ran who was thinking about something beside him, He Cheng said, "Su Ran, your incubator is really good. After seeing the chicks just now, I have an idea."

Su Ran raised her eyes to look at him, "What do you think?"

He Cheng pursed his lips and said, "I want to run a farm and raise poultry such as chickens and ducks, and also raise some pigs."

In fact, when Su Ran first talked to him about the use of the incubator, he had this idea. Now that he has seen the hatching rate, his idea has become more firm. The biggest problem with raising poultry before was that the hatching rate of eggs was not high, resulting in high costs. Now that there is an incubator, this problem has been solved. Then running a farm will definitely have more advantages than disadvantages. Su Ran once said that duck feathers can replace cotton to make cotton-padded jackets called "down jackets". So now raising some ducks, making some down jackets, and selling them in winter is also a good direction.

With an oil press and a breeding farm, Qinghe Brigade and even the entire Dongfeng Commune will benefit.

The more he thought about it, the more excited He Cheng felt. The people here were kind and simple, and he hoped he could help them live a good life.

Su Ran looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect He Cheng to have such an idea. It coincided with hers! She was still thinking about how to bring this up with He Cheng, but she didn't expect him to speak first.

"Okay, I definitely support you, but speaking of this, can I ask you for a favor?"

He Cheng looked at her in confusion, "What's the matter?"

Su Ran said embarrassedly, "I just have a little idea. It's okay if you don't agree... I want to ask you, can we bring the Jiangshui Brigade with us when we build the breeding farm this time? The two brigades can co-operate. I am from the Jiangshui Brigade and have been here for so long. I also hope that I can do something for the brigade, but you also know that I stay in the laboratory every day and don't have much business sense. I can't help the team, so I think you can bring the Jiangshui Brigade with you this time. In exchange, I can give the breeding farm five machines for free."

He Cheng was silent for a moment. He really wanted to agree directly. His grandparents were from the Jiangshui Brigade, and his uncle was the brigade leader of the Jiangshui Brigade. They were all very kind to He Cheng. He Cheng also hoped that he could help the Jiangshui Brigade, but running a factory was not something he could do alone.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he said, "I have to discuss this with the team leader. I will try my best to convince them. After these chicks are hatched and I have specific data, I will go to the team leader to discuss this matter. I will tell you the result as soon as I get it. How about it?" His words were full of apology.

Feeling his sincerity, Su Ran curled her lips and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Seeing that Su Ran was not angry, He Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first time his girlfriend made a request, and he was not able to agree to it right away. He was upset... He would make a plan when he returned home tonight, and he must convince the captain! He couldn't let Su Ran be disappointed in him!

That night, He Cheng was not surprised to be invited to dinner by Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang again.

In the next few days, Su Ran was busy learning about cathode ray tubes, and all matters concerning the chickens were handed over to Zhang Xue and Li Yun.

All the eggs in the incubator have been hatched, with only a few eggs failing to hatch successfully. The success rate is as high as 98%, which takes into account the low quality of eggs in the s, otherwise the success rate would be higher.

With this data, the talks between He Cheng and the leaders of Qinghe Brigade went much more smoothly. In addition, Su Ran was willing to provide five machines for free, so Li Wei and others agreed after some hesitation.

Expert Su knows so many leaders. The captain of the Jiangshui Brigade is Expert Su's uncle. There are only advantages and no disadvantages in running a breeding farm with the Jiangshui Brigade.

After the decision was made, He Cheng started to get busy. He selected a factory location, built an incubator, pig pens, chicken pens, and duck pens. There were so many things to do and they were so complicated. After a few days of busy work, He Cheng lost a lot of weight.

That day, when He Cheng took Su Ran back to the Jiang family, Grandma Jiang was shocked.

"Xiao He, why have you lost so much weight?"

He Cheng smiled faintly, "Maybe I've been too busy recently."

Grandma Jiang said distressedly, "You have to take care of your health even if you are busy! Didn't the No. 1 leader say that health is the capital of revolution! Let's eat at home today. Grandma will make more delicious food for you. You should eat more and try to grow some weight back."

He Cheng felt warm in his heart after listening to Grandma Jiang's words. He couldn't help but raise the corner of his lips, "Okay! Thank you, Grandma."
