Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 2855 Ye Mao's Wedding Date

It has to be said that the Empress Dowager is becoming wiser with age. Sure enough, when Ouyang Xue returned home with Ye Mao, she saw the crispy and fragrant naan in the tandoor oven and her eyes narrowed with a smile.

Having lived in the capital for a long time, it wasn't that she couldn't find naan to eat, but it was too much trouble. At the very least, the places that sold naan were too far from her residence.

Ouyang Xue, a girl from Beijing, has two favorite foods: naan bread and hand-pulled noodles.

Apart from the sesame seed cake, she lost interest in all the traditional Beijing foods.

According to Ye Mao, you are destined to be a wife of a man from northern Xinjiang.

Ouyang Xue is also a very hardworking person, and she has now reached the deputy director level. Of course, compared with Ye Mao, who is a prodigy, she is naturally a bit inferior.

However, she was always proud of this man, and she believed that his future achievements would be something she would have to look up to.

Yu'e always treated Ouyang Xue as her daughter-in-law. Although she knew her son was dishonest, no matter how many women he had, he could only have one wife, and that was Ouyang Xue.

As for the Jin sisters and Liu Ling, it's not that she dislikes them, but the law is what it is, and she's already starting to worry about these things.

After all, his son's profession is a serious stain on his reputation, and he would be unable to defend himself if attacked.

But her son's nonchalant attitude left her helpless, and she could only let him be.

It was her mother-in-law, Meihua, who comforted her, saying that if she could do it, she should do it, and if she couldn't, she should go back to the Warrior Group, even though the Warrior Group had now fallen to Ye Feng.

But how could Ye Feng not use such a capable younger brother? After all, brothers working together can overcome anything.

Moreover, Yu'e believed that Ye Feng would not mistreat his younger brother. His character speaks for itself.

Even if he didn't go to the Warrior Group, if he handed over his own clothing company and Warrior Cowboys to him, Ye Mao would have more money than he could spend in several lifetimes.

Compared to the busy work and complicated interpersonal relationships within the system, it's definitely much more comfortable.

Thinking about all this, Yu'e felt relieved. After all, she also wanted to have more grandchildren. Her eldest son, Ye Feng, already had several children, but her own son just wouldn't get married.

Fortunately, Liu Ling gave birth to a child, so her heart wouldn't feel empty.

The children were very excited to learn that their second uncle's fiancée was coming to visit today, since they would receive gifts as a result.

Sure enough, as soon as Ouyang Xue entered the door, the children immediately surrounded her.

Of course, Marshal Ye, Ye Fei, and Han Ye wouldn't do such a thing; they were just big kids.

I don't care about anything else, the most important thing is to return to one's roots:

"Second Aunt, what gift did you bring me?"

Ouyang Xue handed him a toy gun. Ye Guigen grinned, forgetting to even say thank you, and ran to the side to start examining his new weapon.

The girls were all carrying clothes and snacks. Ye Hong, Ye Xin, and Yang Xue went back to their rooms to try them on.

Ye Bai's gift was the same as Ye Guigen's, and the two of them had already started their battle.

Ye Si stood there all alone, at a loss. He wasn't familiar with Ouyang Xue; he had only met her once and didn't even know what to call her.
Ouyang Xue handed him a model aircraft carrier: "Call me Mom, this is yours!"

Ye Si pursed his lips and put his hands behind his back, because he knew this wasn't his mother, even though the aircraft carrier model was extremely attractive to him.

But Ouyang Xue seemed to be stubborn; she refused to give the child the mother unless the child called her "Mom."

Seeing the two locked in a stalemate, Ye Mao couldn't help but smile and instructed his son:

"Go ahead and call her that, she's your mother too."

Ye Si looked puzzled, but he still listened to his father and obediently called out "Mom".

Ouyang Xue's eyes curved into crescent moons, and she gave a loud reply, then kissed Ye Si on the cheek.

Ye Si's eyes were fixed on the aircraft carrier, and he couldn't care less what the woman was doing to him.

Yu'e glanced at the Empress Dowager, and the two of them exchanged knowing smiles.

They had been worried that Ouyang Xue would feel uncomfortable seeing Ye Si, but they never expected that this girl would become a mother right away. Now they were completely relieved.

For the next few days, Ouyang Xue stayed home all day with Yu'e and the children, not going anywhere else.

After the weekend, the old lady would go to the sanatorium with Ye Wancheng, leaving only Yu'e and the children at home.

With so many children, the housework was actually quite heavy, and Wang Jianying couldn't manage it all by herself. So, Yu'e, the mistress of the house, did it all with her.

It wasn't that they couldn't afford a nanny, but rather that Yu'e and Wang Jianying didn't want strangers in their home.

Ye Mao didn't have time to spend with Ouyang Xue; the transformation of the Taklamakan Desert was still underway.

Besides accompanying Ouyang Xue, I also wanted to take this opportunity to check if there were any areas in Junken City that needed renovation.

Although the northern border is also his hometown, to be honest, as a native of the military reclamation city, he really hasn't done anything for this place.
Sister-in-law Yifei is very busy with work. After Jingjing became mayor, she can't compare to Ye Qianqian.

Although she is more composed than Ye Qianqian, she lacks drive and tends to hesitate. This increases Yifei's workload.

She used to not care about many things, but now she has to get involved and oversee things for Jingjing.

Ye Mao didn't discuss his ideas with his sister-in-law Yifei. Instead, he went directly to Liu Neng, who, as the head of the agricultural and animal husbandry company, had considerable power over land development.

The main project was the drinking water project, which doubled the land area of ​​Junken City. Combined with the transformation of the Gobi Desert, the people of Junken City can't help but give Liu Neng a thumbs up when they talk about him.

In fact, based on Liu Neng's performance, he could have easily been promoted and joined the city's leadership team.

However, he resolutely refused to go, stating that he would spend his life working for the Agricultural and Livestock Corporation and that he would turn all the land in the Military Reclamation City into fertile fields and pastures in his lifetime.

Ye Mao arrived at the Agricultural and Livestock Corporation and went straight into Liu Neng's office. Upon seeing Ye Mao, Liu Neng immediately stood up to greet him, his face beaming with a warm smile.
"Ye Mao, what brings you here!"

Ye Mao smiled and shook hands with Liu Neng, saying, "Brother Liu, I've come here today because I have something important to discuss with you."

After the two sat down, Ye Mao got straight to the point and said his thoughts: "Brother Liu, look at our military reclamation city, there are still a lot of Gobi desert and barren mountains. It's such a waste to leave these lands idle."

"I was thinking about whether we could turn them into fertile fields and pastures, and then completely cover them with new energy sources so that the military reclamation city can rely on new energy sources for electricity in the future."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of excitement crossed Liu Neng's eyes, but he immediately frowned.
"The idea is good, but it's quite difficult. The soil conditions in the Gobi Desert and barren mountains are poor and water is scarce. It will take a lot of effort to transform them into fertile fields and pastures. There's also the need for new energy coverage, which requires a large initial investment and advanced technology."

Ye Mao nodded: "I know there are many difficulties, but there are always more solutions than problems. As for soil improvement, we can invite experts to provide guidance and adopt advanced technologies."

"For example, in Delingha, Qinghai, high-quality forage grass has been successfully planted on saline-alkali land through the 'government + scientific research + enterprise' model."

"We can also learn from this model, cooperate with scientific research institutions, introduce plant varieties suitable for local growth, and use microbial agents to improve the soil and enhance soil fertility."

Ye Mao paused here, took a sip of water, and continued:

"You have made a great contribution to the water issue by increasing the land area. We can further improve water conservancy facilities and adopt efficient water-saving irrigation technologies such as drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation to improve water resource utilization."

"In addition, we can also consider collecting snow water for proper storage and utilization."

Liu Neng was very experienced in this area. He stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then said:
"Hmm, that makes sense. So, what are your specific thoughts on new energy?"

Ye Mao’s eyes gleamed with determination: “Northern Xinjiang is rich in solar and wind energy resources, and we can vigorously develop solar power generation and wind power generation.”

“Building large-scale photovoltaic power stations and wind farms on the Gobi Desert and barren mountains can not only make full use of these idle lands, but also reduce dependence on traditional energy sources and achieve green development.”

Just like the energy base in the Gobi Desert at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, a high proportion of new energy is being transmitted to other regions through the integration of wind, solar, thermal, and energy storage.

Although we don't need to transmit power externally, we can establish a stable power supply system locally.

"At the same time," Ye Mao added, "we can cooperate with the Warrior Group to introduce advanced energy storage technology to solve the problem of unstable new energy power generation. We can store the generated electricity and release it during peak electricity demand to ensure a stable power supply."

As Liu Neng listened to Ye Mao's plan, his concerns gradually dissipated, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Okay, Ye Mao, your thinking is clear, I think it's feasible! With you taking the lead, I believe we can definitely get this done."

In the days that followed, Ye Mao and Liu Neng got busy. They first organized a team of experts to conduct a comprehensive survey and assessment of the Gobi Desert and barren mountains in the military reclamation city, and formulated detailed soil improvement and planting plans.

Then, we actively contacted major research institutions and enterprises to seek technical support and cooperation.

In collaboration with research institutions, they introduced salt- and alkali-tolerant and drought-resistant forage and crop varieties, such as oats and alfalfa.

These varieties are adapted to the harsh local environment and can grow well on improved land.

At the same time, the company also brought advanced planting technologies and equipment, including modern agricultural machinery, water-saving irrigation equipment, and soil testing instruments.

As for the construction of new energy sources, they didn't need to worry about it at all. They just made a phone call to Wang Lina, and she immediately agreed.

The construction of the photovoltaic power station and wind power plant will be entirely undertaken by Warrior New Energy Group, while Ye Mao and Liu Neng will be responsible for coordinating land, policies and other related matters.

To ensure the smooth progress of the project, Ye Mao prepared a detailed plan and submitted it to the military reclamation city government.

The proposal contains the entire project plan and expected benefits, and has received high recognition and strong support from the government.

After all, Ye Mao's rank and position were what they were, and he was contributing to the development of the military reclamation city. Therefore, the military reclamation city government not only provided policy incentives but also gave him certain financial support.

During the project implementation, we also encountered some difficulties and challenges.

For example, some local residents have doubts about the implementation of the project, worrying that it will affect their lives and interests.

Ye Mao and Liu Neng went door-to-door to explain the significance and benefits of the project to them in detail, and promised to protect their rights.

After patient communication and explanation, the residents' attitudes gradually changed, and they began to support the implementation of the project.

On another occasion, during the construction of the photovoltaic power station, technical difficulties were encountered, which hindered the progress of the project.

Ye Mao and Liu Neng immediately organized experts and technicians to tackle the problem. After several days and nights of hard work, they finally found a solution, ensuring the smooth progress of the project.

Ouyang Xue, after spending these days building a relationship with Yu'e and the children, has completely integrated into this family.

Especially little Yesi, who clings to Ouyang Xue every day calling "Mommy, Mommy," I bet even Liu Ling would be jealous.

Seeing that things had come to this point, Yu'e made a decisive decision. Instead of discussing it with her son Ye Mao, she directly communicated with Liu Ling and the Jin sisters to discuss Ye Mao's marriage.

Because she knew that if she didn't step forward, the group of young people might just drift along like this, never to see the light of day again.

Liu Ling completely agreed with this. Given her status, she couldn't marry Ye Mao, and he needed a wife who could stay by his side.

The Kim sisters naturally had mixed feelings, but given the prevailing trend, they both agreed.

Because of their special status, they are temporarily unable to have children. This is mainly because countless reporters are watching them every day, making it difficult for them to even date Ye Mao.

Now that her future mother-in-law has discussed this matter with them, it already shows that Yu'e does not object to their relationship with Ye Mao, so she has agreed.

When Ouyang Xiu was leaving after his vacation, Yu'e discussed the wedding date with him and solemnly instructed him not to stand her up like last time.

Ouyang Xue agreed, and the date was set for October 1st, two months later, which would give them a few days off.

After several months of hard work, the Gobi Desert and barren mountains of Junken City have undergone tremendous changes.

The once barren Gobi Desert is now covered with lush green pastures and crops, and herds of cattle and sheep graze leisurely on the pastures.

Towering wind turbines stand on the barren mountains, their white blades turning slowly in the wind, creating a beautiful picture against the backdrop of the azure sky and golden desert.

Large photovoltaic panels gleam silver in the sunlight, continuously converting solar energy into electricity and transmitting it to every corner of the city.

Most importantly, the military reclamation city has achieved complete reliance on new energy sources for electricity, which not only reduces environmental pollution but also lowers energy costs.

At the same time, the development of agriculture and animal husbandry has brought more employment opportunities and income sources to local residents, and people's living standards have been significantly improved.

Standing atop what was once a barren mountain, Ye Mao gazed at the vibrant scene before him, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment. He knew this was just the beginning, and he would continue to contribute to the development of his hometown in the future.

Thank you for the votes, everyone! Thank you, Bookworm Chest!
