After feeding the feed, Su Ran and Zhang Xue returned to the office to record the data. They wrote very seriously and the room was quiet with only the sound of the pen scratching on the paper.

Before he knew it, the whole afternoon had passed. Su Ran pounded his sore arm and said softly, "Sister Zhang Xue, you should go back and rest. You've been exhausted all day."

Zhang Xue didn't look up. "Wait until I finish these. There aren't many left. There's no need to wait until tomorrow."

Su Ran couldn't beat her, "Okay, then go back early after you finish."

Zhang Xue: "Okay."

Su Ran changed out of his dirty work clothes, put on his own clothes, picked up the paper bag he brought in the morning, and walked out.

Instead of going home, she went to the oil mill.

In the past few days, she also inquired about a lot of things in the brigade, and naturally learned about the oil press factory in Hecheng. She was very surprised, she didn't expect that the genius boy was so talented in business.

It was time to get off work, and Su Ran met many people along the way. Fortunately, Su Ran didn't know them, so he didn't need to greet them one by one, otherwise it would be very tiring.

Su Ran didn't know them, but they knew Su Ran. Many of these people had helped with sowing, and now Su Ran was very famous in the brigade. After all, she was an expert from Hai City, and the people in the team had never seen an expert before. They were all very curious, and word spread like wildfire. Su Ran became even more famous in Qinghe Brigade, and many people knew about her relationship with He Cheng. They also became closer to He Cheng, who had an expert friend.

After walking for a while, Su Ran arrived at the legendary oil press factory. This was an old landlord's house. Although the walls were cracked and a lot of paint had fallen off, one could still see its original grandeur, which was incompatible with the surrounding adobe houses.

It seems that this oil press factory is quite well-received by the brigade and has been allocated such a good site.

In fact, Su Ran misunderstood. There were only so many vacant houses in the brigade, and the yard of the one she was using was too small. Only this one could accommodate the oil press, so they had to give it to them here.

Some of the little "scoundrels" in the team had always wanted to move the brigade office here. When they heard that the brigade leader had placed the oil press here, they were unhappy for a while.

As soon as Su Ran walked to the door, he heard the humming sound of machines running and people talking inside.

When she heard the voice that belonged only to He Cheng, she curled her lips.

The door was not closed, so Su Ran walked in directly.

Zhang Qing, who was weighing peanuts in the yard, looked at her and asked, "Comrade, what can I do for you?"

Because Su Ran only had a paper bag in her hand, Zhang Qing didn't think she was here to change the oil.

Su Ran smiled friendly, "Hello comrade, I'm looking for He Cheng, I'm his friend."

Zhang Qing was surprised. Could He Cheng's friend be the legendary expert Su? This girl looked quite young, and she didn't look like an expert.

But he was only surprised for a moment, and soon recovered his composure. He smiled and said, "He Cheng is pressing oil in the backyard. I'll go and call him for you." He apologized to the middle-aged man who came to change the oil next to him, and then went into the house.

Su Ran looked at his disappearing back, and the words she wanted to say were choked back. In fact, she was not in a hurry, she could weigh the peanuts for this uncle first...

After Zhang Qing entered, she began to look around the yard. How should she put it? The layout of the yard, the well that looked very historical, and the carved wooden door that matched the gate showed that the previous owner had great taste.

Just when she wanted to take a closer look at what kind of flower was hung on the door, the person inside came out.

He Cheng looked at Su Ran with surprise, "Su Ran, why are you here?"

Su Ran curled her lips and said, "Come and see you, a busy man."

He Cheng also raised the corners of his lips, "You must be tired after all the way here, come on, let's go inside and I'll pour you some water." The experimental fields are located in the south and north of here, and it takes at least half an hour to walk here, so his words are not just politeness, he really feels sorry for Su Ran.

Su Ran nodded. She was very curious about where He Cheng worked, so it would be nice to go in and take a look.

He Cheng turned around and wanted to take Su Ran in, then he saw Zhang Qing who was watching the show on the side.

He smiled embarrassedly, as if he had forgotten to introduce himself.

He Cheng: "Su Ran, this is Zhang Qing, a youth sent to the countryside like me. Zhang Qing, this is my friend, Su Ran."

Su Ran smiled faintly and said, "Hello, Comrade Zhang."

Zhang Qing: "Comrade Su, hello." It was indeed the expert Su who was very popular in the brigade recently, but this expert Su was too young...

Just as he was thinking about it, he tilted his head and saw the uncle waiting to be weighed. He hurriedly said something to He Cheng and Su Ran, then ran over to continue weighing the peanuts.

He Cheng looked at him and smiled helplessly. Even as an older brother, he also had his unstable moments.

He Cheng took Su Ran inside, passed through a main room, and then arrived at the backyard. Su Ran's only feeling about the backyard was that it was big. It was really big, worthy of being a rich man's back garden.

The most eye-catching thing in the backyard is the oil press. It makes a loud buzzing noise and the iron sheet is covered with rust. It looks old. But if it was new, the machinery factory would not easily agree to rent it.

He Cheng knew that Su Ran was interested in the machine, so he took Su Ran around the machine and told her how to use it. Although he knew that what he said was redundant, he just wanted to talk to Su Ran more.

Su Ran looked at the oil flowing out of the machine and her eyes flashed. This oil had a lot of impurities. Although it smelled very fragrant, it was still inferior to modern cooking oil.

Looking at the oil press in front of her, Su Ran felt itchy. She really wanted to modify it! She was so excited! But she didn't know if He Cheng was willing to give the machine to her.

Wang Kaixuan, who had just come out of the toilet not far away, was watching He Cheng chatting with a pretty young girl with an interested look in his eyes.

He walked closer slowly and looked at He Cheng with a playful expression.

He Cheng cleared his throat. "Su Ran, this is Wang Kaixuan, also an educated youth who lives in the same room with me. Kaixuan, this is Su Ran, my friend."

Su Ran: "Hello, Comrade Wang."

Wang Kaixuan said with a smile: "Comrade Su, hello, I've heard about you from He Cheng a long time ago, it's true that seeing is believing."

He Cheng pretended not to hear his teasing.

Su Ran became interested, "Oh? He mentioned me?"

Wang Kaixuan: "That's often mentioned. They say you are knowledgeable and know everything. You can be an expert at a young age, and you are beautiful."

At the educated youth point, He Cheng had the best relationship with him. When Wang Kaixuan knew that expert Su was He Cheng's friend, he asked He Cheng about it, and this is what he said at the time.

At that time, Wang Kaixuan thought that what he said was too exaggerated. After seeing it today, Wang Kaixuan felt that what He Cheng said was very accurate. At least he agreed with the fact that she was beautiful.

Su Ran looked at He Cheng in surprise. She didn't expect that this was the image of her in He Cheng's mind.

She curled her lips, "He's exaggerating."

Wang Kaixuan: "This is not an exaggeration at all. I think he is right."

Su Ran smiled embarrassedly when being praised by a stranger.

Wang Kaixuan glanced at his good brother, then looked at Su Ran, "Comrade Su, what do you want to talk to He Cheng about?"

Su Ran: "My grandma heard that he has been very busy recently and was afraid that he would forget to eat, so she made some food for me to bring over."

Wang Kaixuan's eyes lit up and he looked at He Cheng with a teasing look. Oh, you've met the parents?

He Cheng ignored him. He smiled and said to Su Ran, "Don't make grandma so hard next time. I don't lack anything."

Su Ran waved his hands, with a helpless look on his face, "I can't advise you on this. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being so popular with the elders."

He Cheng smiled helplessly, "Then I'll talk to her in person next time."
