My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1191 Water Pool
In spring, the sun shines through the sparse clouds and falls on the fields of Sun Village. Zhou Xing, an educated youth who was sent down from the city to the countryside, is standing by the golden rapeseed field, looking at the rolling green hills in the distance. He is wearing a washed-out blue cloth shirt, holding a copy of "Dream of Red Mansions" in his hand, and his eyes reveal his thirst for knowledge and his vision for the future.

Not far away, a young girl was helping the villagers harvest wheat. Her movements were skillful and graceful, as if she had merged with the land. She was Ling Xue, the daughter of the village chief of Sun Village. She was well-known in the village for her intelligence, diligence and kindness. Ling Xue noticed Zhou Xing's presence, curiously put down her sickle and walked towards him.

"What book are you reading?" Ling Xue asked softly. Her voice was as clear and pleasant as a mountain spring.

Zhou Xing looked up and saw Ling Xue's curious eyes. He smiled and raised the book in his hand: "Have you read Dream of the Red Chamber?"

"I've read some." Ling Xue sat next to Zhou Xing, and the two naturally began to discuss the characters and plots in the book. They talked about Jia Baoyu's rebelliousness, Lin Daiyu's talent, and her yearning for free love. These topics made them feel unprecedented resonance, as if they had found a long-lost friend.

As time goes by, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue become closer. They work together, discuss literature and philosophy, and dream about their future college life. Zhou Xing is deeply attracted by Ling Xue's wisdom and independent spirit, while Ling Xue also has a deep respect for Zhou Xing's talent and sincerity.

However, the good times did not last long. A sudden illness took away Ling Xue's father's life, leaving her with only heavy family responsibilities and an unfulfilled dream. Faced with such a blow, Ling Xue had to temporarily put aside her studies and take on the burden of taking care of her family. Zhou Xing saw it and was anxious in his heart. He decided to do his best to help Ling Xue and her family through the difficult times.

A few years later, the spring breeze of reform and opening up blew across China. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were admitted to the same famous university in the provincial capital with their own efforts. The campus was full of ancient trees and green grass. The fountain in front of the library sparkled in the sun. The two met again here, as if it was fate that brought them together again.

Zhou Xing chose to major in economics, while Ling Xue entered the College of Arts for further studies. Despite their different majors, they still maintained close contact. Whenever night fell, the lights in the library were warm and soft, and the two would meet there to study together. Zhou Xing would patiently explain to Ling Xue the complex concepts in economic theory, while Ling Xue would share her unique insights into literary works. Their friendship gradually deepened during these exchanges.

In addition to helping each other in their studies, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue also actively participated in campus cultural activities. Zhou Xing joined the school's debate team, where his eloquence and logical thinking skills were fully demonstrated; Ling Xue was a key member of the literature club, and her articles were often published in the school magazine. They also organized a seminar on "Modern Literature and Social Change" together, which attracted many teachers and students to participate.

Four years of college passed in a flash. On the day of the graduation ceremony, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue stood on the lawn of the campus in their bachelor's gowns and took photos. Zhou Xing looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar girl in front of him, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. He knew that without Ling Xue's company and support over the years, it would be difficult for him to get to where he is today. He took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say to Ling Xue what was hidden in his heart: "Ling Xue, it's great to have you around for the past four years."

Ling Xue smiled and replied, "Yes, we are best friends." But there was a subtle flash of disappointment in her eyes. At that moment, Zhou Xing realized that his feelings for Ling Xue had gone beyond ordinary friendship. But he also knew that now was not the best time to confess - they both needed time to explore their own life paths. So Zhou Xing chose to remain silent and bury this emotion in his heart, waiting for the right opportunity to speak again.

After graduation, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue entered a state-owned enterprise together. This enterprise is located in the center of a bustling city with a modern office environment and broad development prospects. Both of them are full of energy when they first enter the workplace and hope to realize their career ideals here. However, reality is often more complicated and changeable than imagined.

Zhou Xing was assigned to the marketing department to be responsible for the marketing of new products. At first, he threw himself into the work with full confidence, but soon he encountered various challenges: pressure from competitors, changes in customer needs, and difficulties in internal coordination. Once, an important project was seriously delayed due to supplier problems. Zhou Xing had to work overtime to find a solution and finally barely completed the task on time. This experience made Zhou Xing deeply realize the cruelty and uncertainty of workplace competition.

At the same time, Ling Xue also encountered difficulties in the Human Resources Department. As a new employee, she needed to quickly adapt to the company's rules and regulations and deal with a large number of employee relations issues. Once, an old employee came to Ling Xue to argue because he was dissatisfied with the company's decision to reassign his position. He was very emotional and even threatened to resign. Faced with this situation, Ling Xue had to stay calm and try her best to appease the other party. After some efforts, she finally successfully resolved the crisis and won the trust and support of her colleagues.

Although the work is full of challenges, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue did not give up. Instead, they cherished each other's support and encouragement. Whenever they encountered difficulties, they would talk to each other and seek each other's opinions and suggestions. Once the company held a team-building activity and required each department to produce a program to participate in the competition. After discussing, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue decided to jointly plan a stage play with the theme of "Youth and Dreams". By telling the story of a young couple pursuing their dreams, they showed their youthful vitality and beautiful vision for the future.

During the rehearsal, the two of them worked together in perfect harmony, which not only showed their talents but also enhanced their understanding of each other. In the end, their stage play received unanimous praise and achieved excellent results in the competition, which not only brought honor to the department but also established a good image for them among their colleagues.

As time goes by, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue become more mature and stable in the workplace. They have proved their abilities and values ​​with their actual actions and have gradually become indispensable talents for the company. However, with the promotion of their positions and the increase of responsibilities, they also begin to face new choices and tests...

As time goes by, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's positions in the workplace gradually become more stable, but their personal lives become more complicated. Zhou Xing was promoted to deputy manager of the marketing department because of his outstanding performance, which means that he will bear more responsibilities and pressure and also need to devote more time and energy to work. Ling Xue is faced with the career choice of whether to continue further studies or stay in the company to develop her career.

One night after overtime, Zhou Xing invited Ling Xue to go to a nearby cafe. They ordered two cups of coffee and sat by the window, quietly watching the busy traffic outside the window. Zhou Xing was the first to break the silence: "Ling Xue, how do you feel about our current life?" Ling Xue smiled slightly: "It's pretty good, at least we are doing what we like, right?" "Yeah," Zhou Xing sighed and continued, "But I always feel like something is missing or something is slowly changing..." Ling Xue nodded. She knew that Zhou Xing meant that their relationship became more and more distant as they became busy with work.

Just as the two were lost in thought, the door of the cafe was pushed open and a familiar figure walked in - it was Zhou Xing's ex-girlfriend Li Xiaomei. Li Xiaomei was Zhou Xing's lover in college, but they eventually broke up for various reasons. Zhou Xing seemed a little embarrassed when he saw Li Xiaomei, while Ling Xue observed the scene in front of him calmly. Li Xiaomei walked straight to Zhou Xing and greeted him with a smile: "Long time no see, are you okay?" Zhou Xing forced a smile and replied: "I'm fine, how about you?" After a brief conversation, Li Xiaomei proposed the idea of ​​getting back together, which caught Zhou Xing off guard. He did not refuse or agree immediately, but just told Li Xiaomei that he needed time to consider. After returning home, Zhou Xing tossed and turned and could not fall asleep. His mind kept replaying the time he spent with Ling Xue and the scene of Li Xiaomei proposing a reunion. After a fierce ideological struggle, Zhou Xing finally made a decision - he wanted to confess to Ling Xue and tell her his true feelings. Even if the result was unknown, he did not want to miss this precious relationship again.

The next morning Zhou Xing arrived at Ling Xue's door with a bouquet of flowers and a handwritten letter. When he mustered up the courage to press the doorbell, his heartbeat accelerated, nervous and expectant. The door slowly opened and Ling Xue appeared at the door with surprise in her eyes: "What's the matter so early?" Zhou Xing took a deep breath and handed the flowers and letter in his hand to Ling Xue, then said affectionately: "Ling Xue, I have liked you for a long time, no matter what happens in the future, I don't want to lose you." Ling Xue was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this, and then tears burst out of her eyes. She hugged Zhou Xing tightly and choked and said: "I like you too, but I have never had the courage to say it..." At that moment, all the misunderstandings and estrangements disappeared, leaving only two hearts tightly connected.

Shanshui Village is surrounded by mountains. The first rays of sunlight in the morning shine through the mist and shine on the winding stream, making the water sparkle. Zhou Xing stood by his own aquaculture farm, looking at the turtles swimming leisurely in the turtle pond, and his heart was filled with satisfaction. He is a burly man with dark skin from the sun, but his eyes sparkle with passion and persistence for the aquaculture business.

Not far away, Ling Xue was busy in her mountain orchard. Her orchard is located halfway up the mountain, where various fruit trees are planted. In spring, the garden is full of flowers, and in autumn, it is full of fruits. Ling Xue is wearing simple work clothes, with her long hair tied behind her head. Her movements are capable and powerful, and her eyes reveal her deep love for the land.

Although they are engaged in different industries, they both have a deep affection for this land. Zhou Xing's aquaculture farm is large in scale, with bullfrogs croaking in the pond, eels swimming among the water plants, and various fish tumbling freely in the water. He not only pays attention to production, but also pays more attention to ecological balance, and often studies how to make aquatic products grow more healthily.

Ling Xue's orchard adopts organic farming methods. She insists on not using chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Although the cost is higher, she believes that this is responsible for consumers and for the future. Her fruits have gradually established a good reputation in the market because of their high quality.

Two young people, one guarding the underwater world, the other protecting the fruits of the forest, they interpret the awe and love of nature in their own way. In this information age, they don't know that they are about to become the key figures to drive the entire village to prosperity.

On a spring afternoon, the sun gently shines on the path of Shanshui Village. The villagers sit or stand, enjoying the tranquility. Zhou Xing carries a bucket of freshly caught fish, ready to sell at the market at the entrance of the village. His steps are brisk and he is in a good mood, because his fish are always popular.

At this moment, a sudden brake sound broke the silence, and a small truck stopped in the square at the entrance of the village. The door opened, and a young woman got out. She was Ling Xue. There were beads of sweat on her forehead, and it was obvious that she had come in a hurry. She was holding some sample fruits and brochures in her hands, and her face was a little anxious and expectant.

Zhou Xing curiously approached and saw Ling Xue introducing her orchard and products to the villagers. Her voice was clear and infectious, and she talked about her love for the orchard and the concept of organic farming. Zhou Xing was moved by her enthusiasm and couldn't help but stop to listen.

"Our fruits are all grown naturally, pollution-free, taste delicious and are rich in nutrients." Ling Xue's words revealed her confidence in her own products.

Zhou Xing couldn't help but interrupt: "I've heard of your orchard, it's really good. But it's too inefficient to sell it to every store like this."

Ling Xue turned her head and saw the fish bucket in Zhou Xing's hand. A gleam of light flashed in her eyes: "You are Zhou Xing, right? I have also heard of your aquaculture farm. We are all people who make a living from this land. Do you have a better sales method?"

The conversation between the two attracted the attention of the surrounding villagers, and everyone gathered around. A discussion on how to better sell agricultural products began. Zhou Xing proposed the idea of ​​live streaming, and Ling Xue immediately agreed. Two like-minded young people came together unexpectedly, and they decided to join hands to try this emerging sales model, hoping to bring new vitality to Shanshui Village.

Zhou Xing and Ling Xue sat in a small house at the entrance of the village, with two newly purchased smartphones and a bunch of live broadcast equipment in front of them. The lights in the house were soft, and photos of their respective products were hung on the wall. One was a photo of a turtle pond next to a green rice field, and the other was a fruit tree full of ripe fruits. The two smiled at each other, feeling both nervous and excited.

"Are you ready?" Zhou Xing adjusted the camera on his mobile phone, trying to find the best angle.

Ling Xue nodded and adjusted her seat to ensure that the light was evenly shining on her face: "Everything is ready, we can start."

The moment the live broadcast began, their heartbeats seemed to speed up. The numbers on the screen slowly rose, and the audience began to enter the live broadcast room. Zhou Xing cleared his throat and introduced his aquaculture farm in his slightly rustic voice.

"Dear audience friends, welcome to the live broadcast room of Shanshui Village."
