Riding the wind of rebirth

Zhu Dazhang is the real winner. He is a pig in the wind, and the profits from tobacco, alcohol, and lamps are all huge. Now he also runs a building materials city, and he has taken advantage of the initial boom in real estate development and is flying higher and higher.

Sister Xiaoliu is even more idle. Every year she just eats the dividends from Laojiao Distillery, expands its shares, and occasionally does some short-term trading. The rest of the time she basically just takes care of her baby son.

But the couple had very high social connections in Manzhou. They were extremely happy to hear that Xueshan and Yang He were getting married. After all, they were also close friends with Feng Xueshan. Every time Yang He came to Manzhou to visit his grandmother, he would definitely go to visit Uncle Yu and Little Six Sister, and they had always had a very good relationship.

Neither of them had expected Zhou Zhi to arrive in Manzhou this morning. They were surprised and happy, and they also cursed, saying that Zhou Zhi had learned how to launch a surprise attack on them, or he would slip away from Yuzhou and not report to Manzhou. He really deserved to be beaten.

Zhou Zhi had no choice but to apologize. After he apologized, he remembered that he had only done this once, and that was when he broke up with Jiang Shuyi. He didn't expect that the couple still remembered it and he couldn't afford to offend them.

Knowing that everything was going well, Zhou Zhi felt relieved and came back to chat with his grandmother.

My grandmother didn't know what Zhou Zhi was doing outside. She only knew that Zhou Zhi was now supporting mountain construction and doing some cultural research on ethnic minorities. In my grandmother's understanding, Lianhe Township might be similar to her hometown Wutongchang. Wutongchang is the ancient road leading to Qianzhong. There are several Miao villages after Wutongchang. In those days, several people from the Su family went to contact the Miao people for support and organized a musket team.

Zhou Zhi also felt that it was a bit difficult to explain, so it would be better to let grandma keep this understanding, and then say that the geographical environment there is different from Wutongchang. It only rains at night for three months in a year, there are strong winds for half a month, and the remaining three months and the windy half year are all sunny.

The weather is good, the temperature does not exceed 27 or 28 degrees, and the temperature does not exceed 7 or 7 degrees.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to harvest crops." Grandma thought about it and came to this conclusion.

"Eh? Grandma, how did you know?"

"If there is no distinction between cold and heat, the crops will not grow well."

"It depends on the location." Zhou Zhi said, "The river valley area is still very powerful. It even produces a kind of tribute rice that is said to be fed to the Empress Dowager Cixi. But our village is better now. Although the temperature difference there is not much in a year, the temperature difference between morning and evening is quite large, and the sunshine is strong, which is especially suitable for growing fruit trees, such as apples, cherries, and pomegranates. They are very sweet. Now the country has built two bases there, one for cherry seedlings and the other for pomegranate seedlings. They are very expensive cherry seedlings and pomegranate seedlings. The villagers are living a better life now."

"Your uncle was very happy. He saw it on the news and even called to praise you, saying that he led the villagers to raise pigs back then, and now you lead the villagers to plant trees. There is definitely no problem with the way you are doing."

Zhou Zhi was a little amused and helpless. Although he had managed to establish two bases in Lianhe Township, he was still inferior to his uncle who raised pigs in all the townships in the county.

I relied on my strong financial support, while my uncle started from scratch and built a county that was among the top ten pig-producing counties in the country in the 1970s. It is obvious who is mediocre and who is capable.

But as long as the old man is happy, that's good enough.

Not long after, Xiaoliu arrived and teased the two of them as soon as she entered the room: "The monk is getting married, how come time flies so fast! Hey, where's Xueshan? Is she hiding and too embarrassed to see anyone?"

"We drove back at night and let Xueshan go to rest." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "The monks' marriage has nothing to do with the fast passing of time. It's mainly because they are doing a blitzkrieg."

"What about you?" Xiaoliu seemed to be vaguely aware of Zhou Zhi and Jiang Shuyi's breakup, but the siblings were too familiar with each other. As soon as she saw Zhou Zhi's state, she knew that he had completely gotten over it, so she deliberately asked: "You didn't find someone in Liangshan Prefecture... Hey, the Yi language is called Amizi, right?"

"I brought back an elbow," grandma immediately showed off, "It's small and cute, sweet and beautiful."

"Really?" This time, Xiaoliu was really shocked: "Where?"

"She's asleep, too. Girls tend to be sleepy." Zhou Zhi said, "Plus we came all the way from the capital."

"It's OK for a monk, but I'm telling you, if you don't treat Xueshan better, Xiaoliu Jie won't agree!"

"How dare I?" Yang He smiled contentedly. "Don't talk about that." Zhou Zhi said that what Xiao Liu said was wrong: "Xiao Liu, first figure out which side is the disadvantaged group before you take sides!"

"Hahaha..." Feng Xueshan had taught Xiao Liujie how to operate the computer, so Xiao Liujie knew very well what kind of person she was. When she was gentle, she could be very gentle, but when she was aggressive, she could also be very aggressive. Yang He had always been an honest person, so what he said about Elbow was right.

"Aren't you going to sleep for a while?" After laughing, Xiao Liu asked Zhou Zhi and Yang He, "You guys are not going to let the girls work at night, are you?"

"Not really, but we take turns driving so we can rest, plus we're kind of used to staying up late."

"I see you are all in high spirits, especially the groom!" Sister Six said with a smile, "Then let's talk about the arrangements right away? Your mother specifically told me about it last night."

When it comes to weddings, there are indeed many things that need to be arranged. It is not just about taking the wedding team to a hotel in the county town and calling it a day. There are also many preparations beforehand, such as entertaining guests, arranging bride pick-up and so on.

However, Xiaoliujie's own wedding was actually held in a hurry, and her mother also helped a lot at the time, so both of them knew how to hold a wedding in a short time.

Then Zhou Zhi thought that both times were caused by getting pregnant before marriage, which was really a coincidence.

However, after listening to Sister Xiaoliu's introduction of the process and work distribution, Zhou Zhi was completely relieved. As long as the Shudu camera and host team came over tonight and everyone went to Jiachuan tomorrow to prepare for another day, the event could be held the day after tomorrow.

It happened to be the weekend and an auspicious day, so my mother had already picked out all the details.

When my father came back from get off work at noon, he shook his head when he saw Zhou Zhi and Yang He: "You are also a man who has seen storms, but you still lack the fortitude. At least give us ten days or half a month's notice in advance!"

"Dad, you must be very tired these days, right?" Zhou Zhi hurried over to pick up the briefcase: "It's not difficult to create a hygienic city in Manzhou City. We have to do it even if we create difficulties!"

"Stop making sarcastic remarks!" Dad was very politically conscious: "Yang He, congratulations, where's Xue Shan?"

"We drove over here at night and let them rest."

"They? Who else?" Dad caught the word sharply.

"Oh, Mai Xiaomiao, we went on a business trip to the capital together this time, and when we came back it happened to be time to arrange the wedding of Heshang and Xueshan, so we came together."

"Xiao Miao is here too?"

"Yes, I've seen her. She's small and cute, sweet and pretty. She's just twenty years old." Grandma muttered happily beside her.

"Why didn't you tell me yesterday, kid?" Dad complained, "Otherwise your mom would have waited for you."

"Can she still handle it?" Zhou Zhi didn't think it mattered: "We'll meet sooner or later anyway, it doesn't matter if it's sooner or later."

"Then... how long have they slept? Why don't we go wake them up? Xiao Miao is a guest from afar, shall we go out for dinner?"

"I didn't cook at all. I was just waiting for you to say this." (End of this chapter)
