Chapter 15 Postpartum Care of Sows
This was Xu Jie's first marriage and also his first time meeting the girl's parents. He had no experience at all and now he had lost the support of his teammates, which made the situation even worse.
However, facing the dangerous situation of fighting alone , Xu Jie was not discouraged because he had figured out Su Yun's parents' tricks.
Wherever there is a move, there is a routine. If you know the routine, you can target it.
He is not afraid of having too many tricks, but he is afraid of not saying it directly. As long as the method is right, all the tricks will be useless.
Now that you have drawn your knife, don't blame me for raising my hammer!
"My parents are very open-minded people. They think that free love can promote marital happiness and it is human nature to get married when you meet the person you love. So not only did they agree to my marriage to Su Yun, they also liked Su Yun very much because they knew that Su Yun was the one I loved. Isn't there a saying that goes, 'If you are destined to meet, no matter how far apart we are, we will meet and love each other as a family.'" Xu Jie said the happiest words in the most sincere words.
Of course, although he appears to be friendly on the surface, he is actually madly targeting Su Yun's father's "sigh".
Not only that, he also pulled the other person into the car.
Don't you want to give me a hand? Then I'll hold you back and see what you can do.
Su Changzhi was stunned after hearing this. He just wanted to express that it was inappropriate to get the marriage certificate first and then tell his parents, but he didn't expect the other party to elevate it to the level of free love, as if whoever opposed it was not open-minded and was the remnant of feudal forces.
"Really? That's good." He said with a faint smile, "Have some tea!"
He picked up the cup on the coffee table and drank it. At the same time, he looked at the young man opposite him again out of the corner of his eye.
An expert can tell whether something is good or not with just one look.
The other party's seemingly casual words completely blocked the topic of "getting a marriage certificate without permission".
He admitted that he had underestimated it before.
At this time, Xu Jie obediently picked up the teacup, and dipped his lips in the tea like a dragonfly touching the water, moistening his lips.
There is a saying in martial arts: No moves are better than moves.
This is talking about the highest realm of martial arts.
When a person has a trick, no matter how powerful the trick is, there is always a way to find it and a way to break it; when a person has no trick, because there is no routine, others don’t know your flaws.
This is also why the more skilled a person is in martial arts, the less likely he is to take action first.
Especially when masters fight, whoever strikes first will lose.
All matters in the world are connected by the same principles.
He had just been inspired by martial arts, and by drawing inferences from one instance, he had directly realized how to deal with Su Yun's father.
Even so, he still held back and reduced some of his skills.
After all, he is my father-in-law, so I should give him the face he deserves.
Moreover, when two masters fight, no one will use a big move at the beginning. Since the opponent is only making a tentative move, he can just deal with it casually with a small move.
As an outstanding young man who respects the elderly and loves the young, before showing off his hungry hammer, he must first give some foreplay warning, reflecting the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation of respecting the elderly and honoring the virtuous, while achieving the effect of defeating the enemy without fighting.
If the other party is ungrateful, don't blame him for saying hurtful things.
People are like this. When two people form a team, they always want to rely on each other to win, but when one person faces a desperate situation, his potential can often be stimulated.
Su Changzhi drank his tea with a slurp, looking leisurely and happy, like a kind old man enjoying his retired life.
However, all this is just an illusion. Beneath the calm surface, a fierce ideological struggle is taking place.
He also knew that whoever made the first move would suffer, but the task his wife had assigned him was not completed, and the two of them couldn't just sit here and drink tea forever, right?
His wife was still waiting in the study for news of his triumphant return.
He glanced in the direction of the study, and then glanced at the respectful young man next to him. It seemed that he would have to spend more time today.
After a brief thought, Su Changzhi immediately decided to adjust his thinking and change his tactics.
So, the teacup was put down and the horn for the second attack was sounded.
"Are your parents in good health?" Su Changzhi returned to his previous appearance as a kind old man.
"Very good, very healthy." Xu Jie said with a smile
"What kind of work do they do?" Su Changzhi asked again.
"We raise pigs in our village." Xu Jie answered truthfully.
"It's not easy to raise pigs, and it's even harder to earn money from selling pigs to support your college education." Su Changzhi sighed, "By the way, has Yunyun ever told you what I do for a living?"
"I heard from Su Yun that you are the dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine at the Agricultural University."
"Yes, if you have any problems with your pigs in the future, you can come to me." After saying this, Su Changzhi picked up the teacup and started drinking.
Xu Jie looked at Su Yun's father silently, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
This old man is so dishonest!
The other party's words just now seemed to be caring, but in fact they were showing off their superiority.
Off-topic: Do you think our two families are a good match?
In fact, Xu Jie was not willing to raise pigs. Since he was a child, his parents always scared him by saying "If you don't study hard, you will have to go home and raise pigs" , which left him with a psychological trauma. He worked so hard just because he didn't want to go home and raise pigs.
However, if you are not a good match, you can just say it directly. It is wrong for you to look down on my parents for raising pigs.
"Actually, during the winter and summer vacations when I was in school, I would go home to help raise pigs, and I really encountered some difficulties. Today I have the opportunity to ask you for advice!" Xu Jie looked humble.
If he had been on the defensive before, now he was about to start fighting back.
"Really? Then go ahead and ask." Su Changzhi sat up straight, secretly delighted in his heart. As the director of the Basic Veterinary Department, how could he be stumped by such a trivial matter as raising pigs?
Hehe, you lose this time!
"It's like this. My sow becomes very irritable after giving birth and often crushes the piglets to death. But if I take the piglets away, they will be infected with the virus and die. What do you think I should do?" Xu Jie asked worriedly, looking at Su Yun's father expectantly.
Su Changzhi was stunned for a moment and thought: I am such an expert, studying pharmacology, pathology and other advanced veterinary sciences all day long, and you are asking me about postpartum care for sows?
"Haha, it's very simple to deal with this situation. Just go to the local animal husbandry department and ask the veterinarian to vaccinate the piglets. Our country is still very advanced in the field of animal vaccines." Su Changzhi replied with a smile, still feeling a little unsatisfied, thinking that he was being wasted.
"I've been vaccinated, but it's useless," Xu Jie said. "Experts say that if piglets are taken away, they can't get maternal antibodies from colostrum, so their resistance will be very low. Even if they are vaccinated, it's hard to guarantee that they will all survive. They can protect against this but not that."
"While injecting vaccines, pay more attention to hygiene, feed the piglets on a regular basis, and take the piglets away from the sow when they are full." Su Changzhi added.
"The problem is that I don't know when the sow will turn over and kick her legs." Xu Jie said with a bitter face.
"You play some slow music for the sow to adjust her mood."
"I don't know what it likes to listen to. Besides, pigs are different. If the wrong music is played and it stimulates them, won't the whole litter of piglets be wiped out?"
“…”
Su Changzhi opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
As the saying goes, every profession has its specialization.
This should be a veterinary obstetrics problem, and what I have studied is of no use at all.
Lao Zhou teaches veterinary obstetrics. Do you want to call and ask now?
No, no, that's too embarrassing.
Su Changzhi looked at the young man with an expectant look on his face and felt anxious.
What should I do if someone makes a move but I fail to catch it?
When he is anxious, his mouth becomes dry, and when it is dry he drinks tea, and when he drinks too much he wants to urinate.
As I get older, my kidneys become weaker, and I can’t hold my urine. In the end, my face turns red and my body goes into vibrating mode.
Why is it harder to take care of a sow during confinement than a human?
His mind was now filled with sows and piglets.
