After dealing with the wheat seeds, Li Yi took some other medicines and went to the sperm bank at the livestock farm.
In modern animal husbandry, artificial insemination is the norm, and the sperm of breeding bulls, boars, and roosters are all stored frozen in the bank.
When Zeng Laoba and others saw Li Yi mess with the wheat seeds and then go to the sperm bank, their faces turned green with worry. If this continued, wouldn't the farms and ranches go bankrupt, leaving only a pile of debts?
But Du Leren seemed to have gone crazy, fully supporting Li Yi's antics. Zeng Laoba and others could only shake their heads and sigh, while Zhao Tianzheng secretly laughed.
"Old Du, this batch of sperm will produce a new type of livestock. Don't rush to sell them. First, advertise them. We'll raise the meat price tenfold and call it 'Immortal Meat!'" After finishing with the sperm, Li Yi pretended to give instructions to Du Leren, but he was actually speaking to the others.
Zeng Laoba angrily said, "What kind of new livestock? Are you saying that by mixing the livestock's sperm with your medicine, it turns into an immortal? Fat pigs as big as elephants, just with shorter noses, and one pig is enough for the whole community to eat for half a year?"
"Pretty much!" Li Yi nodded.
"Are you really taking yourself for an immortal?" Zeng Laoba stomped his foot.
"Meow! Meow!" Miko nodded in agreement.
Li Yi ignored Zeng Laoba's attitude, took Miko, and drove his BMW out of the cattle farm, heading towards the city.
He was going to visit relatives.
On Earth, apart from his mother and sister, Li Yi had no other relatives. His father was an only child, and his mother had only one sister, so he was specifically visiting his aunt.
Although it had only been three days for people on Earth, in his heart, it felt like he had been away for thirty million years. He really missed his aunt.
Unlike his sister, who married early, Lin Ruxue was still single and didn't own a house. She rented a small studio apartment in the city.
"Ding dong!"
When Li Yi rang the doorbell, he was a bit nervous. It had been thirty million years since he last saw his aunt. Would she still look the same? ——Of course, only three days had passed on Earth...
"Who is it? I've already paid the rent!" A not very friendly but pleasant voice came from inside.
Li Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Aunt, besides the landlord, doesn't anyone else visit you?"
"Eh? Xiao Yi?"
The door quickly opened, and a woman in a nightgown appeared. She had long, flowing hair, a radiant smile, and captivating eyes, a beauty that could topple a nation.
"You naughty little thing, why are you visiting your aunt?" Lin Ruxue immediately threw herself into Li Yi's arms.
"Meow! Meow!" Miko, standing on Li Yi's shoulder, couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Isn't this woman Li Yi's mother? When did she become his aunt?
She didn't know that Lin Ruxue and her sister Lin Ruyu were twins, looking exactly the same.
"Cough, cough!" Li Yi quickly carried Lin Ruxue inside and closed the door, "Aunt, opening the door like that, you're not afraid of exposing yourself! It's almost noon, and you're still in your nightgown?"
"It's a rare Sunday, come here, let your aunt kiss you!"
Among the elders, Lin Ruxue was the one who liked to be informal with Li Yi. Seeing the face identical to his mother's, Li Yi smiled and then pressed her onto the bed, pouring a mouthful of the basic carbon-based life evolution liquid into her.
...
"You really are a troublemaker, you almost killed your aunt!" Lin Ruxue came out of the bathroom, carrying a fresh scent, looking relaxed and elegant.
"I was giving you a massage, don't be ungrateful!" Li Yi smiled.
Lin Ruxue sat casually next to Li Yi and looked at Miko, "Your cat is so cute! Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Girl."
"Oh, it's a girl. Has she been bred yet?"
"Ha, bred?" Li Yi was taken aback.
"There's a purebred Persian cat next door, very expensive, and it's a male. You can breed her with it!"
"Meow meow meow!" Miko shook her head frantically, "I don't want to do that with a Persian cat!"
"Hehe, it's really funny, it even knows to be shy!" Lin Ruxue laughed, "Don't worry, little kitty, the Persian cat is very handsome!"
"Even if he's handsome, he's still just a cat!" Miko was speechless.
"My cat won't be bred. If she is, I'll do it myself. You don't need to worry, Aunt." Li Yi held Miko in his arms.
"Meow meow!" Miko immediately nodded, then thought, "Pfft, why did I nod? He said he'll do it himself!"
"But the Persian cat is really handsome!" Lin Ruxue was still a bit reluctant.
Li Yi didn't want to talk about this topic and said casually, "Aunt, you don't look too good today. Is something bothering you?"
"Hehehe." Lin Ruxue laughed dryly and then looked at Li Yi, "Xiao Yi, you've really grown up. You can do something for your aunt now."
"What is it?" Li Yi asked.
"Well, you know, Aunt's life hasn't been easy lately." Lin Ruxue's smile was like a spring breeze.
"I know, you've changed jobs from a real estate company to a construction company, then to a supervision company, and now to a design institute. Others get higher salaries with each job change, but you get lower. I heard you don't even draw plans at the design institute?"
"Don't bring up my shortcomings!" Lin Ruxue put her hand on Li Yi's ear, the gesture exactly like Lin Ruyu's.
Unlike her sister, Lin Ruxue studied architecture in college. She was a proud and ambitious girl, always wanting to achieve something before getting married.
But ideals are beautiful, and reality is harsh. The construction industry is one of the darkest, with powerful and influential bosses. Lin Ruxue's beauty made many people have ulterior motives.
Initially, at the real estate company, the boss wanted to take advantage of her. Proud and ambitious, Lin Ruxue slapped the boss and resigned in anger.
Unexpectedly, the boss, enraged, spread rumors that Lin Ruxue was his mistress, damaging her reputation. This made it difficult for her to find another job, and the next boss also tried to take advantage of her.
After resigning again, Lin Ruxue quickly became the subject of rumors, and her reputation worsened. Fewer companies were willing to hire her.
Now, Lin Ruxue had long lost her ambition, just getting by at the design institute, drawing plans, and not considering marriage or children, living day by day.
"Today, I have a class reunion. You know, I'm a bit old..."
"Yeah, you're thirty-eight!" Li Yi smiled.
"Meow." Miko opened her eyes wide in surprise.
This woman is so beautiful, and she's actually thirty-eight. It's hard to believe. Well, she looks exactly like Li Yi's mother, so it's not surprising that she's thirty-eight. Li Yi's mother doesn't look like a middle-aged woman either.
"You rascal, don't say it!" Lin Ruxue was embarrassed and angry.
"Sure, sure, women at thirty-eight are like tofu dregs, I won't say it." Li Yi laughed.
Lin Ruxue pinched Li Yi's ear hard and then sighed, "Yes, your aunt is like tofu dregs, unwanted. Are you satisfied?"
Li Yi immediately shook his head, "Others at thirty-eight are like tofu dregs, but my aunt is still a flower! Ha, Aunt, you're not old at all, younger than my mom. You look about the same age as Xiaoting. If Xiaoting walks with you, people might think Xiaoting is your older sister!"
"Stop lying, I'm younger than your mom, but only by ten minutes. If I had married your dad, you and Xiaoting would be my children!" Lin Ruxue pinched Li Yi again and then said resentfully, "Many of my classmates have children your age, but I haven't even gotten married, let alone have a boyfriend. This class reunion... sigh, how can I go?"
"So you're planning to take me and say I'm your son?" Li Yi nodded, understanding, "That's a good idea. Once they see your son is so old, no one will pursue you!"
"Good for nothing!" Lin Ruxue's face turned serious, "Many people know I've never been married. If I suddenly have a son this old, where would my face be?"
"Right here." Li Yi patted his chest and smiled, "If I'm not your son, how can I help?"
"You're a little rascal!" Lin Ruxue pinched Li Yi's face and then blushed, "I was thinking, you're so grown up, looking like an adult. How about pretending to be my boyfriend?"
"Heaven, you and my mom were born on the same day, the same month, the same hour, and the same minute. How can I pretend to be your boyfriend? With a face identical to my mom's, how can I call you wife?" Li Yi pretended to be shocked.
"If you don't want to pretend, fine, I won't beg you!" Lin Ruxue glared at Li Yi and changed her clothes.
"I was thinking, why don't you hire someone to be your boyfriend?" Li Yi suggested.
"Do you think I'm anyone? I can't be intimate with other men!" Lin Ruxue glared at Li Yi again.
"Pretending to be a boyfriend is just holding hands, how intimate can it get? Haven't you even held a man's hand before?"
"Hmph!" Lin Ruxue's face turned even redder, and she didn't answer.
"My goodness, at thirty-eight, you can't even hold a man's hand. Aunt, you're really too pure..." Li Yi sighed.
"Shut up!" Lin Ruxue threw a pillow at him, "Why can't I hold a man's hand? I even kissed you just now!"
"Was it just me?"
"When your grandfather was alive, I often held his hand!"
"So it was just me and your grandfather!"
"Why don't you just die!" Lin Ruxue was thoroughly embarrassed and angry, and started hitting Li Yi with the pillow.
"Okay, I won't say anything, Aunt, please calm down!" Li Yi begged pitifully and then said slowly, "But, Aunt, pretending to be your boyfriend might not be appropriate. If it were a gathering of young people in their twenties, you not being married and bringing a boyfriend would be a good face. But your classmates are all middle-aged, with families. Even if you bring a boyfriend, you'll still stand out!"
"What should I do then?" Lin Ruxue slumped on the bed like a deflated balloon.
"Just pretend to be my husband. Your other classmates will definitely bring their husbands and wives." Li Yi smiled.
Lin Ruxue hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Husband? With a face identical to your mom's, can you really call me wife?"

Please... cough, you know.
