My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1193 River City
After working together, the two often sat under a big tree at the head of the village and discussed various topics. Zhou Xing told him about his life in the city and interesting things when he was studying, while Ling Xue introduced him to the history and traditions of the village. Their conversations were always full of wisdom and passion, and sparks were generated in the collision of their thoughts.

As time went by, Zhou Xing gradually adapted to rural life and began to participate in more farm work. Although the work was hard, he felt that this kind of life was fulfilling and meaningful. Whenever night fell, he and Ling Xue would light an oil lamp and continue their literary and philosophical journey. These nights became their most precious memories.

As the seasons change, the fields of Sun Village are covered with a golden color, and the rice sways in the wind, exuding the joy of a good harvest. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue continue their literary and philosophical discussions in such a vibrant scene.

One evening, when the setting sun was shining over the fields, the two sat under an old locust tree. Zhou Xing took out a worn-out copy of A Dream of Red Mansions and began to read aloud some of the best passages from it. Ling Xue listened quietly, occasionally interrupting to discuss the characters' personalities and destinies. Her eyes sparkled with a thirst for knowledge and a love of life.

"What do you think of the love between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu?" Zhou Xing asked after reading a passage.

Ling Xue thought for a while and replied, "Their love is pure, but it is also destined to be a tragedy. Just like our era, many beautiful things cannot escape the arrangement of fate."

Zhou Xing nodded in agreement. Their conversations always touched something deep in their hearts. Then, they turned to philosophical topics and discussed the meaning and value of life. Ling Xue believed that everyone should pursue their dreams, even if the road ahead was difficult. Zhou Xing was more concerned about the relationship between individuals and society. He believed that people should contribute their own strength to the progress of society.

These in-depth exchanges brought the two closer together. They were not only friends, but also spiritual pillars for each other. In that turbulent era, they found inner peace and the strength to persevere through literature and philosophy.

As time goes by, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's friendship is quietly taking root. They have experienced spring plowing and autumn harvest together, and have spent hot summers and cold winters together. In this process, their hearts have been purified and their thoughts have become more mature. These days are the most precious wealth in their lives.

As time passed, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's days in Sun Village gradually became fulfilling. Not only did they work hard in the fields, but they also continued their literary and philosophical discussions under the oil lamps at night. However, as time went by, they began to feel a deep desire for a wider world.

One night, the two of them were still sitting under the old locust tree, the moonlight was like silver, shining on them. Zhou Xing suddenly said, "Ling Xue, have you ever thought about leaving here and going to a bigger place?"

Ling Xue raised her head, looked at the starry sky, and answered softly: "Of course I want to, but I also know it's not easy. We are all educated youth, with special status, and we don't have many opportunities."

Zhou Xing held her hand and encouraged her: "We can work together for our dreams. I believe that as long as we don't give up, there will be a chance one day."

From that day on, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue began to make plans and prepare for future studies and exams. They used every available time to study cultural courses and help each other solve problems. During the day, they worked hard in the fields and lit oil lamps to review their lessons at night. Although life was hard, their hearts were full of hope.

A few years later, after unremitting efforts, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were finally admitted to the same university. When they received the admission letter, the whole Sun Village was proud and happy for them. The village chief even held a simple celebration ceremony for them, and the whole village came to congratulate the young couple on their new journey of life.

On the day they left Sun Village, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue stood at the entrance of the village and looked back at the place where they grew up. They knew that no matter what the future held, Sun Village would always be their spiritual harbor. With a vision for the future and gratitude for the past, they boarded the train to the university and began a new journey.

Entering the university campus, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue felt a brand new atmosphere. The spacious roads were lined with towering trees, and students gathered in groups of three or four to discuss academic issues or share daily life. The library became their most frequented place, with a rich collection of books, quiet and comfortable, making it the best place for them to explore the ocean of knowledge.

In addition to studying, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue also actively participate in various club activities. Zhou Xing joined the literature club and often held poetry readings with other literature lovers; while Ling Xue joined the debate team to exercise her logical thinking and eloquence. They also signed up for volunteer service activities together to help those in need.

At a gathering of the literature club, Zhou Xing publicly read a poem he wrote for the first time. The poem described his infinite attachment to his hometown, Sun Village, and his vision for the future. Although his voice was a little nervous, it was full of emotion. After the reading, the audience burst into warm applause. Ling Xue, who was sitting in the first row, had tears in her eyes and was very proud of him.

One of the most memorable experiences during college was a national debate competition they participated in. As a member of the school team, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue fought side by side and eventually won the championship. This victory not only boosted their confidence, but also deepened their friendship.

As time goes by, college life is coming to an end. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue sit on a bench on campus and look back on the past four years. They realize that this experience not only taught them knowledge and skills, but more importantly, taught them how to face challenges in life and cherish every important person around them. At the graduation ceremony, when their names were called one by one, all the memories came to their minds. At this moment, they knew that a new journey was about to begin, but the memories of Sun Village would always accompany them.

After graduating from university, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue both joined a well-known state-owned enterprise. This enterprise is located in the center of a bustling city, with tall buildings and busy traffic, showing a modern urban atmosphere, which is in sharp contrast to the Sun Village. They are new to the workplace and are full of freshness to everything, but also face unprecedented challenges.

Zhou Xing was assigned to the technical department to be responsible for the research and development of new products, while Ling Xue joined the human resources department as a recruitment specialist. Although they have different positions, they have a common goal, which is to adapt to the new environment as quickly as possible and use their expertise to contribute to the development of the company.

At first, due to lack of practical work experience, Zhou Xing encountered many difficulties in the process of technology research and development, but he did not give up. Instead, he used his spare time to consult information and ask colleagues for advice, and gradually overcame the difficulties. At the same time, Ling Xue was also working hard to learn knowledge of human resource management and constantly improve her business capabilities. Soon she was able to independently complete the recruitment process and recruit a group of outstanding talents for the company.

After work, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue would meet at a nearby cafe to exchange experiences and share interesting things and problems they encountered at work. These relaxing and happy moments became a rare comfort in their busy lives and deepened their friendship. As time went by, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue won the recognition of their colleagues and the appreciation of their leaders with their outstanding performance. On a sunny afternoon, the company held an annual summary meeting. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were both awarded the title of outstanding employees. When they stood on the podium to receive the award, they were filled with a sense of accomplishment and pride. At this moment, they knew that all their efforts were worth it, and they were more determined to continue to move forward hand in hand on the road ahead.

In the scenic Shanshui Village, Zhou Xing is a well-known aquaculture farmer. He is a burly man with dark skin from the sun and rain, and his eyes reveal determination and intelligence. Zhou Xing's farm is located next to an open water area outside the village. Turtle ponds, bullfrog ponds and eel ditches are scattered in an orderly manner. There are a few lotus leaves floating on the water, and occasionally there are frogs croaking and fish splashing out of the water.

Every morning, when the first rays of sunlight penetrate the mist, Zhou Xing begins his busy work. Wearing rubber boots and holding a long pole, he checks every breeding area to ensure that the water is clear and the feed is sufficient. His technique is skillful and powerful, and every feeding is accurate. Zhou Xing takes care of these aquatic creatures as carefully as if they were his own children. He knows that these lively lives are the hope of life for him and his family.

The afternoon sun shines on the water, making it sparkle. Zhou Xing sits on a small stool on the shore, holding a book about aquaculture in his hand, and looks up from time to time to observe the situation in the pool. He always has a faint smile on his face, as if he is full of infinite satisfaction and expectation for life.

However, despite Zhou Xing's superb breeding technology, his products can only be sold to local vendors at a low price due to the limitations of traditional sales channels and market scope. Zhou Xing knew that if he wanted to really increase his income, he had to find a new way of selling. This problem was like a heavy stone pressing on his heart, keeping him awake at night.

Not far from Zhou Xing's farm is a lush mountain orchard, where the fragrance of fruits, birdsong and flowers are everywhere all year round. Ling Xue, a young and energetic woman, has become the new owner of this orchard. She has long black hair, a firm gaze and a brisk pace. Since she contracted this orchard, she has been determined to turn it into an ecological agricultural demonstration site that integrates sightseeing, picking and leisure experience.

Ling Xue, wearing simple work clothes and a straw hat, is busy in the orchard, instructing workers to prune branches, fertilize and water. Her technique is professional and meticulous, and she treats each fruit tree as gently as if it were a baby. She knows that only by caring for it with heart can she harvest sweet fruits.

In addition to daily orchard management, Ling Xue also used her professional knowledge to introduce some new varieties of fruit trees and tried to adopt organic planting methods to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers. Her orchard gradually became well-known locally, attracting many tourists to experience the fun of picking.

However, Ling Xue was not satisfied with this. She knew that if she wanted to take the orchard's business to the next level, she had to expand sales channels and let more people know about the high-quality fruits here. She began to think about how to use modern technology to promote the orchard's products to more distant places.

One evening, when the setting sun shone over the orchard and the golden light shone on the branches full of fruits, Ling Xue stood at the highest point of the orchard, looking at the rolling hills in the distance, and a strong impulse surged in her heart. She wanted to change the status quo and let more people recognize the value of this land. This idea took root in her heart like a seed.

By chance, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue met at a small market at the entrance of the village. Both of them are leaders in their respective fields, but they both face the same dilemma - how to sell their products to more distant places. They smiled at each other, as if they saw their own shadows in each other.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Xing. I heard that your orchard is doing well." Zhou Xing took the initiative to extend his hand and greeted him in a friendly manner.

"My name is Ling Xue, nice to meet you. I've also heard that your breeding techniques are superb." Ling Xue held Zhou Xing's hand and responded with a smile.

The two quickly started chatting, exchanging their experiences and ideas. During the conversation, Zhou Xing mentioned his desire to expand sales channels, while Ling Xue shared some of her insights on online live streaming sales.

"In fact, I have recently been considering selling my fruits through live streaming," Ling Xue said. "Nowadays, many people like to shop online. I think this is a good opportunity."

Zhou Xing's eyes lit up: "This is a great idea! We can definitely cooperate. I can also sell my aquatic products through live streaming."

In this way, the two like-minded people hit it off and decided to join hands to try live streaming to sell goods. They began to plan how to combine traditional agriculture with modern e-commerce, hoping to open up a new sales path.

In the following days, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue began their intense and expectant preparations. They learned how to set up a live broadcast room, how to use the live broadcast software, and even went to the city to consult a professional e-commerce operation team. Their efforts paid off, and soon, a simple but vibrant online live broadcast room was born.

Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's first live broadcast did not go smoothly. Facing the camera and the microphone, both of them seemed a little uneasy. Zhou Xing's voice trembled slightly, and Ling Xue's smile was not as natural as usual. There were only a few viewers in the live broadcast room, and the comments were sparse, and the atmosphere was awkward.

"Hello everyone, welcome to our live broadcast room." Zhou Xing tried to start with his not-so-standard Mandarin, but there was a hint of nervousness in his tone.

Ling Xue took over the conversation and tried her best to show her friendliness: "Yes, we brought fresh fruits and seafood today, I hope you like them."

However, no matter how hard they tried to introduce the features and advantages of the product, the audience's response was still cold. Some viewers came in and took a look and left, while others asked some sharp questions in the barrage. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue felt a little overwhelmed in the face of such a situation.

After the live broadcast ended, the two were silent for a while.
