The next day, early in the morning.

Su Ran slowly opened her eyes, the warm sunlight filled her face, she stretched gently, the comfortable feeling made her moan out loud.

She randomly picked a piece of clothing to put on, then went to the yard to wash up. A lot of the new vegetables planted by Grandma Jiang in the yard had grown, and they were green and lush, looking very vibrant and energetic.

Accompanied by this vibrant scenery, Su Ran washed up leisurely and walked to the dining table, on which were boiled eggs, pickles, pancakes and a bowl of porridge made by Grandma Jiang. Su Ran finished her meal with a smile, told her grandparents that she would not be coming back today and would be staying in Qinghe Brigade, and then went out.

The fresh air outside made Su Ran curl her lips. She took a deep breath and walked towards the Qinghe Brigade.

When she arrived, Zhang Xue was already there. She had just changed into her work clothes and was about to go to the pigsty to check on the pigs.

Su Ran greeted her with a smile, "Good morning, Sister Zhang Xue."

After the two got to know each other better, they changed the way they addressed each other and no longer called each other "comrade". Zhang Xue was older than Su Ran, so Su Ran called her sister, and Zhang Xue called her by her nickname.

Zhang Xue: "Of course, you're here."

Su Ran: "Sister Zhang Xue, are you going to feed the pigs?"

Zhang Xue nodded.

Su Ran: "How long are you going to feed him by yourself? I'll go with you. I'll go change my clothes."

Zhang Xue quickly refused, "I can do it myself. I've just fed half of it and will finish it soon." She had used up all the feed in the pigpen when she was feeding just now, so she came to the warehouse specially to get the feed.

Su Ran nodded, "Okay, I'll go water it then." The corn in the experimental field is now in the seedling growth stage, and the soil needs to be kept moist. The seedlings need to find nutrients and water in the soil, so the water content in the soil cannot be too little, so they usually water it every 2-3 days to keep the soil moist but not too wet.

Zhang Xue nodded. They had water pipes for watering, so they could just use the pipes to water the plants. It wasn't very strenuous. So when Su Ran asked to water the plants, she didn't refuse. Although her leader told her to take good care of Su Ran, she knew that Su Ran was not someone who could sit still.

Although Zhang Xue felt that this was her job, she was still very touched to meet a leader who cared about his subordinates.

Zhang Xue felt warm in her heart. She felt that the feed in her hands was lighter and her steps became faster.

Soon, she walked to the pigpen. The piglets smelled her scent and shouted excitedly, jumping towards her.

She opened the door of the pigsty, and the chubby little pigs immediately jumped up and circled around her happily. She took out the prepared feed and put it into the trough in each pigsty. The little pigs sniffed the feed, stuck out their tongues, and began to enjoy the food.

Zhang Xue watched them eat with relish and curled her lips.

Although she grew up in the city, it was not easy for her to eat meat. Now that there is feed, everyone will have more meat to eat in the future! How can she not be happy!

On the other side, Su Ran strode to the laboratory, changed into her work clothes, and went to water the corn seedlings.

She walked to the edge of the cornfield and turned on the watering tap. A stream of cool water gushed out of the faucet. She picked up the hose and carefully watered the corn seedlings. The water gently and delicately moisturized each tiny corn seedling.

It takes a long time to water more than ten acres of land. When Zhang Xue came out after feeding the pigs, Su Ran had only finished watering one-fifth of the land. Seeing this, Zhang Xue picked up another water pipe and started watering the corn seedlings from another direction.

The two men worked quickly and methodically, and soon more than a dozen acres of corn seedlings were thoroughly watered.

Zhang Xue looked at the corn seedlings that looked more energetic after watering and smiled with satisfaction, "Ran Ran, let's go inside."

Su Ran smiled and nodded.

The two men collected the water pipe and went into the house.

Su Ran looked at Zhang Xue's wet trouser legs and said with concern: "Sister Zhang Xue, go change your pants. Hang these in the yard and they will dry in a short while."

Zhang Xue also noticed it, she nodded, "Okay, Ranran, go do your thing, I'll go record the data after I change my clothes, there's not much to record today, I can do it myself."

Su Ran: "Okay. Thank you for your hard work, Sister Zhang Xue."

Zhang Xue waved her hand and went to the lounge next door to change her pants.

Su Ran walked towards the laboratory, and after entering, she took off her work coat. Actually, it was only September and she didn't need to wear a coat, but watering the plants required standing outside all the time, which would easily cause her to get tanned. No matter what, Su Ran was also a girl, and she still loved beauty, so she would wear a coat every time she did farm work, which would protect her from the sun and not stain her clothes inside, achieving the best of both worlds.

After taking off her coat, Su Ran slowly sat down on the chair. She picked up the book beside her and turned to the part she hadn't finished yesterday and continued reading.

Autumn is coming soon, and clothes are getting thicker, so it is becoming more and more difficult for Grandma Jiang to wash clothes. So she wants to make a washing machine as soon as possible while the weather is still warm. This way, Grandma Jiang won't have to wash the clothes herself, and winter will be much easier.

Thinking of this, Su Ran became more motivated.

Outside the house, after Zhang Xue changed her clothes, she heard someone knocking on the door. She hurried to open the door. Unexpectedly, she saw the captain. Why did the captain come here? She looked at Li Wei with a puzzled look, "Captain Li, what are you doing here?"

Li Wei smiled and said, "I see your corn is growing well, so I came to take a look. It's only been planted for more than a month, how come it's growing so fast?"

Hearing his words, Zhang Xue's face was full of pride, "Comrade Su used a new type of fertilizer, so it grows much faster than natural growth."

Li Wei knew that Su Ran came here to do an experiment, but he didn't expect that it was about fertilizer. Fertilizer is a good thing for farmers like them, and he feels that the effect of this fertilizer is much better than that of their county fertilizer factory. He doesn't know when this thing can be bought.

He nodded and said, "This fertilizer is really good. Comrade Zhang, can I go and see the pigs? I haven't seen them since they were delivered."

Zhang Xue hesitated for a moment and then said, "I have to ask Expert Su about this."

Li Wei nodded in understanding, "Of course, of course."

A few minutes later, Zhang Xue came back. She smiled and said, "Expert Su said it's no problem. Please come with me."

After saying that, he walked towards the pigpen.

Li Wei followed behind and walked straight in when he reached the pigpen door.

He looked at the scene in shock and was speechless for a moment.

Zhang Xue: "The three pigs on the far right eat ordinary pig grass, and the rest eat feed."

Li Wei seemed to have just found his voice. He swallowed and said, "I remember they were pretty much the same before."

Zhang Xue nodded, her face full of pride, "Yes, we were about the same size back then."

Li Wei looked at her calm tone and chuckled twice, "It seems the difference is a bit big now."

Zhang Xue hummed.

The frightened Captain Li followed Zhang Xue out of the pigsty in a daze, and then he saw Su Ran looking at them with a smile.
