Shi Wen: [Haha, be careful, Gong Jiang and the others might call you heartless behind your back.]

Yan Kexing: [I won't listen to this bastard's rambling. JPG Give them a bigger bonus when they go back in a couple of days.]

The two of them were sending out memes non-stop.

Shi Wen leaned against the table, her eyes always smiling.

Yang Yiqing lifted the curtain and walked in, she saw his smile.

It was a warm, bright, and incredibly infectious smile; one could imagine how much love he poured into the person he was talking to.

Yang Yiqing paused, took a slight step back, and knocked lightly on the kitchen door a few times as a reminder.

Shi Wen the noise, he looked up and said, "You've come? Come and try our colostrum soup, it tastes amazing!"

As she spoke, Shi Wen brought Yang Yiqing bowl of steamed colostrum.

Yang Yiqing waved her hand. "I'll do it myself. You continue messaging Professor Yan."

Shi Wen put away her phone. "How did you know I was messaging Yan Kexing and not someone else?"

Yang Yiqing pointed to her cheek. "Your mouth is practically stretched to your ears."

Shi Wen a little embarrassed, said, "Sikewell should be here soon; I'll go out to greet him."

As he spoke, Shi Wen quickly ran outside.

Sikewell arrived at the ranch more than half an hour later, and Shi Wen leaned against the barbed wire fence, playing on his phone Shi Wen.

Upon seeing someone, Shi Wen look up, wave, and greet them warmly, "Sikewell, you've come?"

Sikewell asked curiously, "Why are you so happy today?"

Shi Wen, "Of course we're happy to have a calf born on the ranch! Come in quickly, try some of our colostrum first, and then I'll take you to see the mother cow and the calf."

Shi Wen brought Sikewell back to the kitchen, Yang Yiqing had already left, and she even washed her dishes.

Shi Wen brought a bowl of steamed colostrum from the pot to Sikewell: "Try it, I added rock sugar."

Sikewell took it, and upon seeing the color, exclaimed in surprise, "Why is it so golden?"

Shi Wen, "Didn't you say that bovine colostrum is golden yellow?"

"I meant a pale golden color; your colostrum is almost like gold," Sikewell said, taking a small sip and showing the same amazement. "This colostrum is so fragrant, so sweet, so delicious."

Shi Wen: "Right?"

Sikewell took another sip and affirmed, "I've tasted so much colostrum, and yours is the best. It has a unique aroma that I can't quite describe."

Given the exceptional quality of bovine colostrum, Sikewell became curious about the condition of the Shi Wen family's cattle.

He quickly finished a bowl of colostrum soup and headed towards the livestock shed. "Take me there to see it quickly, I want to see it for myself."

Shi Wen said, "Actually, it's not so bad."

Shi Wen that he was taking Sikewell to see the cows and calves.

The cow is fine; there haven't been any major changes.

The calf's fur was completely dry, becoming soft and fluffy, and it had a pleasant milky smell.

Their eyes are large and clear, clearly indicating that they are extraordinary.

Sikewell was immediately smitten when he saw the calves. "What huge calves! And so well-proportioned! They have such good frames!"

Shi Wen: "Right?"

Sikewell, carrying his medicine kit, moved the door to the cattle pen, went inside, pinched the muscles on the calf's back, looked at its mouth, and touched its skeleton, saying again, "It's really good-looking, good-looking, and strong."

The cow watched Sikewell's actions with some tension.

Shi Wen watched from the sidelines, and the cow still maintained a basic level of trust in Sikewell.

After Sikewell finished checking the calf, he checked the cow. The cow was not so calm and mooed, trying to shake off Sikewell.

Sikewell, holding the cow's rope, still carefully inspected the cow once more.

After the examination, he said to Shi Wen, "Your calf is so big, I was worried that the cow might have suffered birth injuries, but I didn't expect it to recover so well. Your cow is also the best-behaved cow I've ever seen."

Shi Wen was praised again, "Really?"

Sikewell: "How could this be fake? Think about how Deng Yanma's cow gave birth. That cow's shoulders and rump were pointed, and it was skinny. Then look at your cow, it's well-proportioned and strong, and it has plenty of milk. If the calf wasn't right here, I wouldn't believe you if you told me it had just given birth."

Sikewell repeatedly inspected the Shi Wen family's cattle, praising them incessantly.

With Shi Wen's permission, he also took photos and videos and posted them in the group, using Shi Wen's cow as an example, to explain what a cow and calf in good condition after giving birth and how to care for them.

Sikewell took many photos and videos documenting the condition of the two pairs of cows and calves before finally tagging the newborn calves with their ears and administering their vaccines.

By the time they finished, more than an hour had passed.

Shi Wen that Sikewell would have dinner at his home, Sikewell would accept without hesitation.

The three of us having lunch today were Shi Wen, Sikewell, and Yang Yiqing.

At the dinner table, Sikewell also praised Shi Wen's cattle highly, saying to him, "You raise such good cattle, it's a waste to keep raising ordinary breeds. You should raise top-quality cattle and push them to even greater heights."

Shi Wen the family owns nine cows, seven of which were purchased through connections made by Sikewell.

Sikewell knew best what the seven cows were like when they first Shi Wen the Wen family ranch—they were sickly, thin, and dirty, and by no means could they be considered good-breed cows.

In just over half a year, the cows under his care had been completely transformed.

Sikewell dared to Shi Wen that after the New Year, if he took his own cow to the cattle and sheep bazaar to sell, he could easily make twenty or thirty thousand.

Shi Wen said, "I also want to raise good cattle, but good cattle are not so easy to find."

Sikewell patted his chest. "I'll find one for you. Just wait, I'll find you a cow after the New Year, the best cow I can get you."
