A powerful country in scientific research

When Su Jianguo and Jiang Hongmei got home from get off work, they were very happy to see their son back, especially Su Jianguo. Even when he saw his son bought meat secretly, he didn't say anything. If his son wanted to eat it, just buy it. Besides, it was his money.

Jiang Hongmei had no objection to her son buying meat. She even felt a little guilty. She was incompetent and could not let her son and daughter eat meat every day. Look how greedy the children were. With this guilt, Jiang Hongmei stewed all the meat bought by Su Lei and the others, added a lot of seasonings, and even fried sugar color with rock sugar. Jiang Hongmei was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. Su Jianguo and Su Lei were playing chess in the living room, but they were disturbed by the aroma from the kitchen and could not concentrate at all. They looked towards the kitchen frequently.

The aroma drifted out of the window and then slowly drifted to every household in the building. The smell of meat was so overbearing that the old men who were playing chess became greedy and became absent-minded while playing chess. Some of them began to have rumbling stomachs and some even went home directly to eat.

Li Hongxing's family of three, who lived downstairs from the Su family, were having dinner. The meal was the same as usual, corn porridge, pickles, fried cabbage and corn cakes. The three of them were eating happily when the smell of meat wafted in from the window. The greedy little Li Jun started crying, "Mom, I want to eat meat too, I want to eat meat too."

Li Hongxing's wife Wang Yun was helpless because of her son's trouble. She frowned and looked at her husband, "Whose family is this? They can still eat meat at the end of the month. Look how greedy our Junjun is." Meat coupons and grain coupons were issued at the beginning of the month. After they were issued, people would go back to buy meat and grain to improve their meals. So everyone basically tacitly ate meat at the beginning of the month and vegetarian food at the end of the month. I didn't expect that some people still had their meat coupons until now.

Li Hongxing looked at his son helplessly, then whispered to his wife, "It's no use for my son to be so noisy. How about I go to the black market and buy some meat tomorrow?"

Wang Yun frowned after hearing what her husband said. Going to the black market was too risky. "Don't go. The inspection is strict now. It's too dangerous. Anyway, you will be issued meat tickets in a few days. Let Junjun be patient."

Li Hongxing nodded. This was the only way.

Wang Yun was relieved to see that her husband no longer mentioned going to the black market. She walked to her son and said softly, "Junjun, don't cry. We will eat meat in a few days. Let's have porridge first. If you eat well, Mom will make you some malted milk and reward you with a piece of fruit candy."

Li Jun, who was crying, slowly stopped crying after hearing what his mother said. He secretly glanced at his mother, then wiped his tears and started to eat obediently. If he couldn't eat meat, he could eat candy.

Upstairs Su's

Su Jianguo, Su Lei and Su Ran had been sitting at the dining table waiting early. They were chatting with each other now. Then they saw Jiang Hongmei coming from the kitchen with a pot full of braised pork. She carefully put the braised pork on the dining table. Su Ran looked at the braised pork that looked and smelled good and swallowed. She got up and went to the kitchen to help Jiang Hongmei serve other dishes. After everything was ready, the whole family sat at the table and started to eat happily.

Su Ran picked up a piece of meat and put it in the bowl. She poked it with chopsticks and oil oozes out. She took a bite and the aroma of the meat instantly made her lose her mind. It was so fragrant! The outside was crispy and the inside was tender, fat but not greasy, sweet and soft. Even the potatoes that Jiang Hongmei specially put in there because she was afraid that there would not be enough meat were very delicious. The potatoes were stewed until soft and soaked in broth, and it was very satisfying to eat.

Today, Jiang Hongmei specially made rice to go with the braised pork. Su Ran poured a little of the braised pork soup on the rice. The rice was full of the aroma of meat. After taking a bite, every pore on the body opened up comfortably. The whole family didn't bother to talk, and their mouths were shiny with oil from eating.

While eating meat, Su Ran was planning how to make money. The meat was so delicious, she must achieve the freedom of having braised pork!

After dinner, Jiang Hongmei and Su Ran cleaned up the dishes together. Su Jianguo had already made an appointment with someone to play chess, so he hurried out after dinner. Su Lei lay on the sofa. Su Ran called him several times to wash the dishes, but he pretended not to hear. He had eaten too much and really didn't want to move.

Seeing her son lying there lazily, Jiang Hongmei smiled and said, "Of course, don't call him. I'll clean it up. There's nothing to do anyway."

Su Ran curled her lips and said, "That won't do. You've worked all day and you've spent so much time cooking. You must be so tired. The two of us can do it. Su Lei, if you don't get up, I'll beat you."

Su Lei heard that his sister was obviously getting impatient, and was afraid that she would really do it, so he quickly pleaded: "Sister, my stomach is uncomfortable, it's really uncomfortable, please let me rest for a while, I will definitely wash the dishes tomorrow."

Su Ran didn't believe in men's promises, especially when they said "you must do xxx tomorrow". She glanced at Su Lei and said, "Then I'll wash the dishes, and you can take a break and sweep the floor. If I find out that you didn't do it, you'll be in trouble."

Su Lei weighed the pros and cons and decided that he couldn't avoid working today, but he was really feeling uncomfortable and didn't want to move, so he could only do as his sister said. After thinking it through, he quickly agreed.

After getting Su Lei's response, Su Ran coaxed her mother into the house, and then went into the kitchen to wash the dishes. When she came out, Su Lei was still on the sofa, so she reminded him and went back to the house.

Su Ran was lying on the bed with a smile on her face. Today she finally made the tracker and she no longer had to worry about it day and night. Moreover, the tracker was successfully placed on Liu Wei. She completed two important tasks that had been weighing on her mind in one day. Su Ran felt a lot more relaxed. Moreover, she also had meat today. It was a perfect day. She was very satisfied. Thinking of this, she fell asleep soon.

Because it was the last day of the holiday, Su Ran slept in and didn't get up until almost noon. She washed up while watching the video recorded by the tracker yesterday. It turned out that Liu Wei went to the hospital yesterday to visit his aunt's mother. Su Ran estimated the things he brought, at least fifty or sixty yuan. Liu Wei is really good at dealing with things. No wonder his uncle, the factory director, is so good to him. His aunt doesn't mind. Wow, she doesn't mind. After all, she only said a few words, but she can get so many good things. It's worth it.

In the video, Liu Wei arrived at the food factory and went to the factory director's office. Seeing the picture of Liu Wei and Liu Aijun in the same frame, Su Ran quickly adjusted the video to normal speed and watched it carefully. When she heard Liu Wei say that he liked her and didn't want anyone else, Su Ran was disgusted. She wanted to get rid of Liu's family immediately!

Su Ran took a deep breath, put aside her disgust and continued watching the video. Then she heard Liu Aijun say that he wanted to talk to Su Jianguo. Su Ran had no objection to this. The scumbag father really needed to be taught a lesson. In the next video, Liu Wei stayed in the office for a while and then went home and did not go out again.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual, Su Ran raised his hand and turned off the screen.

As she walked towards the living room, she touched her stomach and felt that she was a little hungry. She looked up at the clock on the wall and found that it was already past eleven o'clock. No wonder she was hungry.

Su Ran knocked on Su Lei's door, but there was no sound from inside. She frowned, thinking that he had gone out to play. So she just had to make her own lunch today. Su Ran went to the kitchen and found that there was only cabbage. After thinking for a moment, she decided to make a simple cabbage and egg dumpling soup.

After dinner, Su Ran returned to her bedroom. There was really no entertainment in this era. Going shopping in a department store was not as interesting as earning points in the laboratory, so Su Ran went into the laboratory again. Although there was no deadline for the task, she still wanted to finish it quickly.

In the laboratory, Su Ran looked at the book and began to wonder what she should do. The life in the past few days made her deeply realize how scarce the materials were in this era. She wanted to make something that could be used in this era, preferably to improve everyone's life.

"System, does the task of turning virtuality into reality have to be from the ten books I read?"

[Yes, host. 】

Hearing the system's affirmative answer, Su Ran lowered her head and resigned herself to her fate. OK, this is the only way. She looked at the ten books on the experimental table, scanned them, and then her eyes fixed on the words "The New Farm You Don't Know About". She almost forgot about this book. When she was choosing the book, she was very interested in all aspects of future technology, so she not only chose some Internet-related ones, but also chose this book that describes the future of agriculture. She thought of the growth liquid mentioned in the book that can greatly increase production, and her eyes lit up. This is it. In this great world, having a full stomach is the most important thing!

Su Ran, who was impatient, had an idea and quickly said to the system: "System, find some books related to growth fluid, thank you."

[Ok, host. 】

As soon as the system's voice fell, several books appeared on the experimental table in front of Su Ran. She chose one and began to read it with relish.

It was already evening. Su Ran looked at the time. It was already past six o'clock. Were Jiang Hongmei and Su Jianguo not home yet? Why couldn't she hear any movement? Su Ran came out of the laboratory in surprise, and then left the house. The silence in the living room made her frown. Something was wrong. Su Jianguo would sometimes come home late when playing chess, but Jiang Hongmei would usually come home on time. Could something have happened? And Su Lei, this brat didn't come home until it was dark. He really deserved a beating.

Su Ran found a coat and put it on before going out. She planned to go to the factory. Unexpectedly, she ran into Jiang Hongmei who was returning home just after she got downstairs. Seeing Jiang Hongmei's relaxed state, Su Ran breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that nothing serious happened. She walked up to Jiang Hongmei, hugged her arm, and asked with concern: "Mom, why did you come back so late? Where's my dad?"

Jiang Hongmei's worries faded when she saw her daughter's well-behaved appearance. "A machine in the factory broke down, and the technicians couldn't find the cause. The engineer was also on a business trip, so the factory leader asked the engineer from the machinery factory to come and take a look. Your father is waiting for you in the factory."

Hearing her mother's words, Su Ran frowned, "Why did the machine suddenly break down? Can the engineers at the machinery factory fix it? What if they can't fix it?"

Jiang Hongmei also frowned, "If it can't be repaired, we won't be able to complete the order from the department store, and we may not be able to keep these orders in the future. The Red Star Food Factory is also eyeing these orders." There are two large food factories in Hai City, one is their Hongqi Food Factory and the other is Hongxing Food Factory. There was not much competition between the two before. Hongqi Food Factory mainly made canned food, and Hongxing Food Factory mainly made soda. Two years ago, Hongxing Food Factory introduced a canning production line, so the competition between the two began. As an employee of a rival factory, Jiang Hongmei had to admit that the food of Hongxing Food Factory was indeed delicious, and the canned meat was much more delicious than that of their factory. If the canned meat of Hongqi Food Factory had not been so cheap, the orders would have been snatched away by Hongxing Food Factory long ago.

Su Ran pursed her lips. The problem was indeed serious. She hoped that the masters at the machinery factory could be more reliable.

The mother and daughter went upstairs chatting. Jiang Hongmei put down her lunch box and went to the kitchen. It was too late and she had to prepare dinner quickly.

Su Ran was sitting on the sofa, wondering whether she should go to the factory to take a look. In her previous life, she had done a project specializing in the study of 20th century machines. She just didn't know whether the broken one belonged to the models she had studied.

Su Ran was deep in thought when suddenly there was a knock on the door, "Sister, open the door, Mom~Dad~".

Hearing the familiar voice, Su Ran stood up and went to the door, then rolled his eyes at the person outside, "You little brat, you still remember to come back, what time is it?"

As Su Lei walked into the house, he explained to Su Ran with a smile, "I went to Xie Kai's house. At noon, someone came to see his father and said that a machine was broken. Then his father went to the factory. Xie Kai and I watched TV for the whole afternoon. The color TV is so addictive. When I make money in the future, I will buy one." Xie Kai is his classmate and they have a good relationship. Xie Kai's father is a technician in the factory. Technicians have high salaries, and their family was the first to buy a color TV. Since his family bought a color TV, Su Lei often went to his house to watch TV. However, this summer vacation, Xie Kai has been watching TV. His family's electricity bills are much higher, so Xie Kai's father restricted his watching time. Today, Xie Kai's father was supposed to rest, but he was called back to the factory temporarily, so Xie Kai and Su Lei had the opportunity to watch TV.

Su Ran glanced at Su Lei who was slumped on the sofa, "You guys really know how to seize opportunities. It's not good to always steal other people's TVs like this. Next time you go to someone's house, bring something with you."

Su Lei smiled and nodded, "I know. Besides, it's not in vain for me to watch it. I often treat Xie Kai to dinner."

The brother and sister sat on the sofa and chatted idly. After a while, Jiang Hongmei brought the meal to the table. Su Ran and Su Lei hurried to the kitchen to bring over the remaining dishes, and then the family of three sat down at the dining table and began to eat.

Su Ran looked at Jiang Hongmei's absent-minded look and knew that she was worried about the factory. After all, Su Jianguo was the director, the lowest level of leadership. If something really happened in the food factory, he would be the first to be attacked. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom, after dinner, I'll go to the factory with you to see what's going on and bring some food to my dad. We don't know when it will end."

Jiang Hongmei nodded when she heard her daughter's words. She was indeed a little worried about her husband.

Su Lei, who was eating happily, was moved by what his mother and sister said. He also wanted to go and see the fun. "Mom, sister, take me with you. I want to go too. Besides, it's so dark now. I can still protect you." As he said that, he raised his arms to show his muscles to his mother and sister.

Jiang Hongmei saw his funny look and said with a smile: "Okay, but you have to follow me and your sister obediently when we get to the factory. There is a problem with the machine in the factory, and everyone is in a bad mood."

Su Lei felt a little dissatisfied after hearing what Jiang Hongmei said. His mother was really something. He was so old, but she still didn't trust him! He snorted in his heart, but he was a man now, so he didn't bother with his mother. Thinking of this, Su Lei nodded and agreed to the conditions proposed by Jiang Hongmei.

With the new arrangement, the three of them ate much faster than usual. After eating, the mother and daughter took the lunch boxes and went out.
