Chapter 3782 Not Good News

The two freelancers, Ren and Wushao, didn't have to work 9 to 6. They dropped off Chao, who needed to work 8 to 5, at the entrance of the municipal building. After the handsome young man went into the building to work, they drove away without stopping for a moment.

The two young men drove to villages and towns on the outskirts of Shishi to order bamboo from families with bamboo groves.

There is no shortage of bamboo in the villages and towns outside the city. Bamboo is easy to find, but it may not meet the little girl's requirements. The little girl does not want new bamboo. The minimum requirement is that it must be old bamboo that is more than two years old.

Moreover, the bamboo cut down from the trees must be smoked over a fire for one or two months.

In addition, all the bamboo nodes must be opened up before smoking the bamboo.

Therefore, bamboo needs to be ordered, and the villagers can put the bamboo they cut down on the fire pit to smoke it for a period of time, or build a separate shed specifically for smoking the bamboo.

The two young men were clever; they found a village with a bamboo forest and went directly to the village chief to discuss a deal.

The village chief is the representative of the village, and doing business with the village chief is the most effortless and efficient way.

After accepting the order and seeing off the two customers from the city center, the village chief immediately broadcast a message to the entire village that a customer wanted to buy bamboo. He told anyone in the village who wanted to sell bamboo to come to the village office to register, and then he would explain his requirements.

Before Ren Shao and Wu Shao's car had even left the village, they heard the broadcast and burst into laughter. "This little girl really knows how to survive in the countryside. If you need anything, go to the village chief. This method really works!"

The two young men drove away from the village and returned to the city center, then went to the street with hardware and building materials to look for the hardware and building materials needed to build scaffolding and pillars.

The roofs of all the buildings in each area of ​​the industrial park have been covered with soil, and half of the buildings are expected to be planted with climbing plants, which will require a lot of building materials.

For safety, metal building materials are used as pillars and main beams when building plant trellises, and bamboo is then used to cover the metal building materials to prevent them from getting too hot during the high temperatures of summer and autumn.

Hardware and building materials are easy to find; the main thing is to check whether the materials meet the required quality standards.

Ren Shaowu visited several building material stores, compared prices, selected his target, and placed an order.

The two young men placed the order and paid, then returned to the industrial park. The building materials store would deliver the goods to their door in the afternoon.

Hardware and building materials are delivered to the industrial park, where the handsome young men distribute them according to quantity, transport them to the rooftops of each building, and store them in special storage rooms.

Each building has a stairwell on the roof, and the storage room is connected to the stairwell. There are usually two storage rooms, one for tools, fertilizer, etc., and the other as a warehouse to store harvested medicinal herbs during the harvest season.

Ren Shao and Wu Shao spent less than a day getting the materials for building the plant trellis. They had dinner at the industrial park, went back to their rented room, and then went to help build the trellis after the bamboo was delivered.

As the season enters March, farmers who make a living from farming gradually enter the busy spring season. Crops such as corn and sorghum are sown, seed potatoes are planted, and rice fields are prepared for seedling cultivation.

While other families hadn't even sown their rice seeds yet, the seedlings in the Le family's rice paddy were already lush and green.

Therefore, while others were still preparing rice paddies for seedling cultivation, Zhou Qiufeng and her husband started transporting fertilizer to the rice paddies and plowing and harrowing them while their son was busy with official business in the city.

With plenty of time, Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, would take their sub-adult calf to the fields every day to teach it how to plow.

Cows are actually very intelligent animals. After a few days of training, they will know how to walk when plowing, turn on command, and stop when told to.

After four or five days of teaching, the calf had almost learned how to work independently.

When teaching a calf to plow, one person leads it and directs it, while another person holds the plow.

The calf has learned to plow the field, and there is no longer a need for a special person to lead the calf. The person holding the plow can complete the plowing and harrowing work by holding the plow with one hand and the calf rope with the other.

After training the calf for a few days, Dad took it to plow and harrow the fields by himself, letting the calf work independently for several days to reinforce its memory.

After the Le family had trained the calf, Village Chief Zhou picked an auspicious day to go to the Le family's house to take the calf home.

A few years ago, after taking Xiao Lele's pills, Village Chief Zhou's health improved, and he couldn't stay idle anymore. He came up with the plan to raise a cow, but his wife and son disagreed.

The Le family's sub-adult calf was reserved by Village Chief Zhou shortly after its birth.

The elderly in the countryside all know that oxen that have been trained to plow are more obedient than those that haven't. Therefore, Village Chief Zhou asked his nephew-in-law to teach the ox how to plow before taking it home.

When Village Chief Zhou went to the Le family to take the ox, he not only brought money to buy the ox, but also some gifts, along with a bridle and a rope for leading the ox.

The old tradition says, "When selling a cow, don't sell the rope." When selling a cow, the owner will not give away the bridle and rope used to tether it.

Village Chief Zhou chose to go to the Le family's house to fetch the cow in the morning. By the time he arrived, the Le couple had almost finished preparing breakfast and invited him to stay for lunch.

Without any formalities, Village Chief Zhou sat down in the main room of the Le family's house and asked, "Xiao Feng, is Lele finished with her work? Has she said when she'll be back?"

"Uncle Man, why do you keep looking for Lele?" Zhou Qiufeng asked while working, managing to chat at the same time.

“Yesterday I went to the mountain to dig for kudzu roots and found two big winter bamboo shoots. I buried them in the soil. I’ll dig them up and bring them back to Lele when she comes back.”

Village Chief Zhou chuckled. Lele cherished winter bamboo shoots, so when he found them, he didn't touch them but quickly covered them with soil. "Lele called a few days ago saying she was going to another province and would call home after finishing her work. She definitely won't have time to come back anytime soon, so Uncle Man, you can just dig up the bamboo shoots and eat them."

"Lele has gone to another province again. Lele should be back by Qingming Festival. Let's leave it for now and let it grow a little longer before digging it up again by Qingming."

Village Chief Zhou didn't ask what Lele was going to do in another province. Lele is going to do something important; going to another province must be for work purposes. They shouldn't ask questions they don't understand.

Zhou Qiufeng neither advised nor stopped him, letting Uncle Man decide for himself.

Le's father didn't interrupt. He waited until the child's mother and Uncle Man finished talking about something before he started chatting with Uncle Man about everyday matters.

The couple worked quickly, and breakfast was ready in no time.

Lele's people delivered another batch of medicinal food. The family had plenty of food in stock, and Lele's father, Zhou Qiufeng, also heeded his daughter's wise advice that "breakfast should be good" and started eating a medicinal meal every morning.

These past few days have been filled with physical labor, so I can't do without medicinal diets.

Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, didn't skimp on the food. In the morning, she heated up two medicinal dishes: steamed chicken in lotus leaf bamboo tube and braised mutton. She also heated up some steamed buns and cooked sour soup noodles.

Previously, because Elder Yan and Elder Yi were practitioners, they had a larger appetite than others. Now, the Le family couple, who have undergone acupuncture, and Village Chief Zhou have an appetite that is almost on par with Elder Yi and Elder Yan.

The five adults had good appetites; each ate two bowls of sour noodles, finished six or seven steamed buns, and also ate all the vegetables.

After eating their fill, everyone was full of energy.

Village Chief Zhou sat at the Le family's house for a while. After the Le couple released their chickens and ducks and fed their pigs, he put a bridle on the calf and led it home.

After bringing the cow back from the Le family, we first put it in the cattle pen to keep it for a few days until it got used to its new home. Then, after three or four days, we took it out to roam around.

Leba Zhou Qiufeng saw Uncle Man off to the village road and watched him walk away. Then she went home, tidied up, and prepared to transport fertilizer and plow the rice paddies.

The rock ant takes turns, with one person staying behind each day while the other helps the Le family transport fertilizer.

The Le couple were busy with spring plowing, and even though they missed their daughter, they didn't say it out loud and resolutely refused to call her.

It's not that they're concerned about saving face, but their child has said that when she goes to another province for work, she can't easily contact the outside world, so she turns off her phone and calls them back when she's done.

Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, may not be highly educated, but he is very conscientious. He guessed that his daughter was preparing for another big project, and they were determined not to do anything that would hinder her.

The fact that the two heads of the Le family don't seek out their daughters doesn't mean that others don't care about their little darling.

Because the case in Shishi involved a wide range of people, many bigwigs in the capital's elite circles were constantly paying attention to what was happening in Shishi, not only to the latest developments in the case, but also to the next move of Chao's young adopted grandson.

As a result, after Chao's young grandson returned to Ebei, there was no further news from him.

From late February to early March, and from early March to mid-March, not only did Qin Jiang not send back any new information about the case, but there was also no news about Chao's young adopted grandson.

Before they knew it, it was late March. The Hu family, who had been keeping an eye on the movements of Chao's adopted grandson, could no longer sit still. They secretly sought out acquaintances to find out more information.

Hu Yi held the highest position and had more ways to gather information than others. Before the rest of his family had even made any progress, he had already uncovered some inside information.

Having learned the inside story, Hu Yi went directly to his parents' house to see his elderly father after get off work in the evening.

When Mr. Hu received a call from his eldest son saying he was coming over that evening, he guessed there was something on his mind, so he also called his other two sons and invited his grandsons to come and discuss the matter.

Hu Er, Hu San, and the Hu family's grandson in Beijing also went straight to their father's/grandfather's house after get off work, arriving one after the other.

Hu Yi lagged behind. When he arrived, his two younger brothers, son, and nephews were already there, and the nanny had prepared dinner.

Now that everyone's here, let's eat.

After the meal, the young and old sat for a while as usual to digest their food before going to the study to discuss matters.

The study was very secure. After Hu Yi sat down, he shared the inside information he had gathered: "I got some inside information. A few days before Young Master Liu went to Shishi, Young Master Yan secretly obtained approvals from several departments."

"What kind of approval slip does the He family's grandson need?" Old Hu was astute and grasped the key point.

"It's said that Young Master Yan needs a license to work at certain national defense equipment manufacturing units, and the leaders of the directly affiliated departments of some of these units have already approved it." Hu Yi's expression was not good.

Some departments that produce important national defense equipment are restricted areas, and non-staff members are strictly prohibited from approaching them. If a visit or inquiry is required, a permit signed by the relevant department leader must be obtained.

Before going to Shishi, Yan Shao and Liu Shao secretly obtained a permit from the relevant departments, indicating that someone wanted to visit or inspect certain special production units.

Considering the reality that Chao's young grandson and Liu Shao had been out of contact since mid-March, it is speculated that Liu Shao and the girl may have secretly traveled to some special unit for research.

What was that girl doing at those special production units?
There's only one answer—she has some projects that are related to the technology of certain production units, so she goes to conduct on-site inspections and negotiate cooperation!
Hu Yi guessed a possibility, and so did Old Master Hu. Their faces darkened; this news was not good news for the Hu family.
