54: Chapter 54 Discussing Cattle Raising_1 54: Chapter 54 Discussing Cattle Raising_1 When it was almost noon, Yan Fei also left his house with things to give others, he also had to reciprocate the kind gestures.
The first stop was at Uncle Baoguo’s house, Yan Fei used a snake-skin bag to pack some lotus vegetable noodles, a big watermelon, and a gift strip of meat – This was not a visit to his mother-in-law’s place, a gift strip wouldn’t be suitable, wrapping it up and putting it in the bag would suffice.
Yan Fei didn’t have other options, he didn’t know what else to buy as a gift, so he could only present things that would be useful.
In the last few days, Lin Baoguo must be busy.
Working at the police station was different from other workplaces, they were even busier during holidays.
It was estimated that he doesn’t have time to buy groceries.
When Yan Fei knocked on Lin Baoguo’s door, it was opened by another older woman, who was Lin Baoguo’s mother-in-law.
She was very warm towards Yan Fei, but Yan Fei just wanted to drop off the items and leave quickly.
They hadn’t talked for long when a person Yan Fei least wanted to encounter came out holding a child.
It was Lin Baoguo’s wife, Yan Fei’s aunt Xiang Rui.
Lin Baoguo worked at the police station and was quite decent-looking.
Back then, he was considered one of the best marriage prospects in the small town.
His wife might not be well-educated, but she was the most beautiful woman in the surrounding area, tall and good-looking.
Now, this beauty was a bit overweight, probably weighing around a hundred and sixty-something.
She was fatter than when she was pregnant.
Yan Fei quickly left after dropping the items, fleeing under the repeated pleas of the older woman to stay.
He simply couldn’t stand Xiang Rui’s resentful gaze.
Back then, Yan Fei sent “chicken soup” to help her produce more milk.
As a result, there was so much milk that the child couldn’t finish drinking it and she started to balloon up, looking at him as if he was an enemy.
In the old days, if a daughter-in-law could put on weight after childbirth, it showed the caring nature of the in-laws, and the family took pride in that; the mother-in-law wouldn’t find her ugly because she put on weight, but would feel that their daughter was well taken care of in her marital home, and would be extremely satisfied.
As a result, the parents from both sides spoke highly of Yan Fei.
The one who suffered was the new mom, who was scared to look into the mirror every day.
As for the husband, he had to express his gratitude while secretly crying, as his wife complained in secret while his parents-in-law praised him.
Yan Fei kept on delivering for more than a month until Lin Baoguo quietly pleaded with him to stop, as he couldn’t take his wife out anymore due to her increased weight.
After delivering to this family, the next one is Uncle Ming’s household.
Uncle Ming’s full name is Ma Yongming.
He lived in a newly built small building on the edge of the town.
He can be regarded as a minor construction contractor and is part of the first batch of people who got rich.
However, Yan Fei treated everyone equally and gave the same set of gifts.
Mainly because he had received a lot of favor from him in the past and also because Yan Fei needed his help.
Ma Yongming wasn’t a saint either.
He was the typical late-born child in his family, spoiled since childhood.
As a result, he didn’t even complete middle school and started working with his father in a construction team, later leading a group on his own.
Initially, he built a few houses in the countryside.
As he stepped into the good times, he gradually made his fortune.
When the town built a supermarket, there was no major construction team in the surrounding area that could undertake it independently.
In the end, it was a project jointly handled by three construction teams, including his team.
Once he had some money, he nearly drove his old dad crazy.
He didn’t like any of the marriages arranged by his family, and he didn’t know how he managed to abduct a young woman from the county town.
It was rumored that the girl’s family didn’t agree for her to get married to a small town, so he simply took her back home.
Now she’s pregnant and being kept at home, apparently planning to combine the wedding banquet and the baby’s one-month celebration.
Blacksmith Yan and his dad had a close relationship.
When he was still alive, they often drank together.
Yan Fei unluckily had to call him “Uncle” even though they were not far apart in age.
Yan Fei entered Ma Yongming’s courtyard.
He was currently cleaning a few yellow eels with a young man, and his pregnant fiancée was sitting next to him, not lending a hand and just eating sunflower seeds on a small stool.
Actually, the woman is quite good-looking, her big eyes and pointed chin make her look quite enchanting, but she dresses too fashionably.
By looking at her, you can tell she wears makeup, her face has powder, lip color, and even high heels that tilt her buttocks up excessively.
No wonder Ma Yongming’s father doesn’t like this daughter-in-law, Yan Fei doesn’t like her either.
In ten or twenty years, this would be called a goddess.
Walking down the street would tail a bunch of covert photographers.
But now, in the countryside, girls like her are commonly referred to as temptresses.
Yellow Eels are usually dug up in the dead of winter when harvesting lotus vegetables.
At this point, there’s no need to pump out the water from shallow ponds, they’re all dried up.
Even the ponds that aren’t used for cultivating lotus vegetables make it easier to catch Yellow Eels.
Yan Fei, who was helping clean up the eels, knew the young man.
He had been to his house before, his name was Pang Fa.
He was quite an enterprising young fellow, catching Yellow Eels and mudfish around the area and selling them in the county town.
The Fifth Brother at the beef shop in the county knew him.
However, Yan Fei visited Fifth Brother’s Beef Shop either too late or too early, so they had never met.
When Yan Fei, carrying his stuff, came over and greeted them, he threw the items on the ground and started to help them clean the eels.
The young woman who had been incessantly eating sunflower seeds suddenly sprang up when she saw a big watermelon roll out from the bag’s mouth, she was instantly excited, “Ah, the one who bought the watermelon should be Yan Fei, right?”
Ma Yongming turned his head around, “That’s enough, just look at it.
It’s so cool nowadays, and you can’t eat it with your body like that.
Just sit quietly!”
The young woman sulked at his words, but she dared not retort, she sat back down and resumed her sunflower seed eating, the sound of shell cracking filling the air, and threw the shells all over the ground.
Yan Fei chuckled inwardly, “What a woman he picked!
In a rural area, wouldn’t a woman like that get spanked every day?”
However, he had to ask for their help at this moment, so he didn’t dare to laugh out loud.
Holding back his laughter, he asked Ma Yongming, “Uncle Ming, do you think I could raise some cows next year?”
“Raise cows?” Ma Yongming was so startled he almost cut his hand with the knife.
“Why do you want to raise cows?”
“Raising cows can make money!
Each young cow can make at least two thousand RMB when it’s grown up.
If I raise about ten or eight, I can build a house and get married when I don’t want to go to school anymore.” Yan Fei replied matter-of-factly.
“Well, you’ve planned that out quite far in advance!
You’re so young, and you’re thinking about getting married?” Ma Yongming started to laugh, as did Pang Fa, who was laughing so much it was hard to breathe.
Not mentioning Ma Yongming’s young wife, who was laughing so hard, her body shook like a hen cackling loudly.
“I don’t know how many more days I can stay in school, and now the blacksmith’s shop is closed.
If I don’t find a way to earn some money, I won’t be able to afford a wife in four years’ time.” Yan Fei paid no mind to their laughter.
“What do you mean in four years?” Ma Yongming immediately caught onto that.
“I am asking you about raising cows, why are you asking about this?
My future wife is going to university, and after she finishes a four-year undergraduate course, she will come back to marry me.” Yan Fei was displeased.
“What?” Ma Yongming couldn’t clean the eel anymore.
He thought for a while then it dawned on him.
“You’re referring to that girl from Old Xu’s Family, right?
The third Ni’er?”
Pang Fa got excited when he heard this: “Are the two families already in agreement?
That girl is so good looking, she’s even going to university, can she be with you?”
“So what?
What’s wrong with her marrying me?
We’ve already agreed on this, you all don’t have to worry about it.
Let’s talk about cows, cows!” Yan Fei was anxious, why couldn’t these people stay on track!
“Okay, okay, we’ll talk about cows.
Are you really planning to raise cows?
Have you thought it through?
You’ll need money to buy the calves.
Do you even know how much a calf costs?
And you want to raise ten to eight?
You need to find a place to raise them.
You can forget about your small yard, it won’t be enough.
Plus, raising cows will stink, you have to find a place a bit far away.” Although Ma Yongming was from the countryside, he understood these basics.
“You don’t need to worry about that.
I’ve got the money, I just haven’t figured out the location yet, can you help me think of a place?” Yan Fei waved his hand trying to boost his persuasiveness.
“It’s not just these issues.” Pang Fa interrupted.
“If you really want to raise cows, should you at least know some basics?
I also want to raise fish, yellow eels, and turtles!
But I didn’t do well in school, now even with a skill book I need a dictionary to understand, and there are still a lot of things I don’t understand.
You should know how to feed the cows regularly, right?
And prevent the disease of cows, right?
It’s scary if they get sick when you group-raise them.
If one gets sick, all of them will, and by then you won’t even have a place to cry.”
“I already know how to treat cows.
I’ve been learning at the veterinary station every day!
I know all the common diseases and how to cure them.
If it looks like they’re about to get sick, I’ll immediately call the vet.
I know all the vets at the veterinary station, no problem.” Yan Fei could finally utilize the efforts he’d been making for a while.
With a clap on his big thigh, Pang Fa suddenly realized, “Right!
Why the hell didn’t I think of going to the veterinary station?
Looking at this damned dictionary everyday, I can’t understand the book, and I’m too ashamed to go back to school.
I was driving myself crazy.
Just now, I was talking with your Uncle Ming.”
Yan Fei chuckled, “If you want to raise fish and eels, I guess the vets at the station won’t know much about them.
They’re only experienced with livestock.
There’s a newly assigned vet there, last time he pointed at a mule and said what a big horse…”
