A good life starts with blind date

Chapter 312 Spring Rain is as Precious as Oil

The year 2025 started off quite eventful, with the conflict between the two major powers escalating, the Houthis angering the US, and military confrontation intensifying. In contrast, Africa seemed much more peaceful, with only a cholera outbreak causing chaos.

Africa is a high-risk area for cholera, killing many people every year.

However, this year's situation is more serious than in previous years. A UN report shows that there have been more than 17 confirmed cases of cholera in 16 countries in East and South Africa, with nearly 2900 deaths and children accounting for as much as 50% of the infections.

The Democratic Republic of Congo is not a severely affected area; neighboring Angola is.

It made everyone very nervous.

Cases in Goma are also increasing rapidly, and the government has issued several documents.

Kakul made a public appearance in the media to express his concern.

In reality, he didn't care at all. This old black man only cared about his own income and power. What did it matter if a few people died? On the contrary, Jiang Ning took it very seriously and planned to build a hospital in Casoto to prevent the spread of the epidemic from affecting the mine's production.

I stayed for a week and then flew to Yemen.

Negotiations have stalled and are making little progress.

The price was negotiated down to $120 billion.

But there are still tens of thousands of people on the island, and the resettlement issue has been unresolved.

Jiang Ning stayed for three days before flying to Europe.

I first went to Greece to inspect the progress of land reclamation.

Then fly to Brussels.

A special summit is being held in Brussels. This small city hosts endless meetings every year, with political leaders from all over the EU gathering. Ordinary people don't care about politics; they just feel that prices have gone up again and they want to storm into Egmont Palace and yell at the government.

Hotel suite.

Zhang Yumen entered the room and greeted him with great enthusiasm: "Brother."

Jiang Ning was greatly surprised. In just two months, this kid had changed a lot. His mental state had been completely transformed. She didn't know if it was the environment of Brussels that nurtured him or if love had promoted a chemical reaction. He had a sunny and confident look on his face.

How's your relationship going?

"Hey hey hey!"

"Hey my ass, I'm asking you!"

"pretty good."

Are you asleep?

Zhang Yulong looked constipated: "Can you please not be so vulgar?"

Jiang Ning scoffed: "What's so vulgar about that? You've been married once before. Isn't dating all about that? Do you think you're dating someone just for emotional connection and don't want to sleep with them?"

Zhang Yulong was annoyed and didn't want to talk to him.

At noon, Jiang Ning treated everyone to lunch at the hotel.

No one else was invited, only Zhang Yulong and Antalie.

Add Jiang Yixue to the mix.

Antali is three years younger than Zhang Yulong, but she looks more mature. I hadn't paid much attention to the company's employees before, until I heard that Zhang Yulong was dating this girl, so I started to take a look. She's quite good-looking.

Not particularly beautiful, but not bad-looking either.

She came from a single-parent family and started working to support herself at the age of sixteen.

They even saved up enough money to buy a house, and last year they bought a car.

I bought a used BMW for a few thousand yuan.

Zhang Yulong wanted to offer some sponsorship, but the other party wasn't willing.

As Jiang Ning chatted idly, these messages went through her mind.

Most Western women are independent. Based on the information he has, this girl is a good match, and he could marry her. At least she won't be unfaithful, and they could live a comfortable life together. He just doesn't know how far they've progressed in their relationship.

My aunt and uncle were so anxious they were practically begging me to go to Europe to pressure them into marriage.

Zhang Yulong was clearly not in a hurry, and his relationship was progressing smoothly and steadily.

After lunch, Zhang Yulong and Antalie were sent away.

Jiang Yixue remained.

"What do you plan to do?"

"I don't have any other plans for now. I want to enroll in a training course to systematically learn about finance."

"Then let's go to university!"

Jiang Ning said, "Going to university to learn systematically is better than taking a training course."

Jiang Yixue said, "Going to university will interfere with my work."

Jiang Ning laughed and said, "It's not a big problem. You're going there to learn something, not to experience university life. You can work while studying, and the company has more than just you as the accountant."

Jiang Yixue nodded: "That's fine too."

Jiang Ning asked, "What about other aspects? Do you have any plans to go back?"

Jiang Yixue smoothed her long hair: "I'm not going back. What's the point of going back? There's no place for me in my hometown."

Jiang Ning nodded: "Staying here is fine, but you're not getting any younger, shouldn't you start thinking about marriage?"

Jiang Yixue blinked: "Little Ancestor, can you introduce one to me?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I can't help you with this. You'll have to figure it out yourself."

Seeing this younger generation overcome their trauma brings me some comfort.

I spent three days in Europe, signed several acquisition agreements, met up with some friends, and during the summit, Amyra and Sanna were also in Brussels, along with that German lady, Alice—that woman is remarkable.

This woman ran for office during Germany's snap election last year.

She was incredibly popular for a time, gaining countless fans in her hometown, and being hailed as the second Iron Lady.

Unfortunately, it didn't make the list at Songshan.

It is impossible for the Alternative for Germany (AfD), a party labeled with Nazi ideologies, to come to power.

After three busy days, I flew to North America, and then to Australia.

I briefly inspected the territory and then flew back to my hometown in late March.

At the same time, Jiang Ze and Jiang Wei also took the recruited people and flew to Africa to start a mining business.

Sanya.

After winter, temperatures rose sharply.

It was 33 degrees Celsius yesterday; it was so hot that people didn't want to go out.

It was a bit cooler today, and Feng Yu and Feng Xue had planned to take their child to the beach to play.

But Jiang Ning was coming back, so I didn't go.

Playing in the pool.

The little guy was completely naked, splashing around in the pool with only a swim ring on.

Feng Yu and Feng Xue also put on their swimsuits and went into the water.

While playing with my daughter, I also practiced my swimming skills.

With a private swimming pool, there's no worry about being seen by outsiders.

Both of them were wearing bikinis and had their hair tied up with swim caps.

Feng Xue has a slender and well-proportioned figure, without an ounce of excess fat, and her two long, white, and beautiful legs. Feng Yu is slightly rounder, and her breasts are fuller than Feng Xue's. Both of them have small frames and look thin, but they are actually quite curvy.

Jiang Ning opened the door and came in, but didn't see anyone inside.

I went up to the second floor and saw the three of them soaking in the pool.

So I went downstairs and went to the swimming pool through the back door.

"Oh, Jiang Ning is back."

Feng Yu called out, but did not come out.

He continued to lie in the pool.

Feng Xue then got up and gestured before preparing to come out.

Jiang Ning sat on a lounge chair by the pool and waved her hand, saying, "No need to come out, you guys keep playing."

Feng Xue still came out and wrapped a bath towel around herself.

Sit next to him.

Jiang Tiantian rushed over and happily shouted, "Daddy!"

"Hey!"

Jiang Ning bent down, intending to lift her up.

The little guy, however, splashed away and ran off.

Don't want to come out.

Feng Yu also came out and wrapped a bath towel around herself.

Sitting to his right, I asked while wiping him down, "Are you done?"

"I'm temporarily done with my work."

Jiang Ning leaned back, holding one hand with her left hand and the other with her right, and said relaxedly, "I don't want to be too busy this year. I'll rest when I need to. The RV has arrived, right? In June, our family will take the RV on a trip to Xinjiang."

"This is good!"

Feng Yu wholeheartedly agreed: "I haven't been to Xinjiang yet, but the scenery there looks so beautiful in the short videos."

"Mother……"

Jiang Tiantian splashed over again, watching as her two mothers got ashore one after the other.

The little guy got anxious.

"Mom isn't swimming anymore."

"Mom's Trip".

"Mom isn't swimming anymore."

"Mom, swim." Helpless, Feng Yu had no choice but to tear off her bath towel and get back into the water.

Jiang Ning sat on the side watching, and the more she watched, the more eager she became.

Turning to Feng Xue, he said, "Sigh, I suddenly feel that Tian Tian is a bit superfluous."

Feng Xue looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Jiang Ning said, "If it weren't for Tian Tian, ​​the three of us could play together so much."

Feng Xue's eyes sparkled, brimming with laughter.

"Dad's Trip".

The little guy, unaware that his dad was disliking him, wanted his dad to go swimming with him.

"Okay, okay, Dad's here."

Jiang Ning got up and took off her clothes, without even changing into her swim trunks.

He went into the water wearing only his underwear.

They called Feng Xue down as well, and the three of them splashed around in the water with their daughter.

After playing for a while, it was almost five o'clock.

Feng Xue gestured a couple of times and went to cook.

Jiang Ning and Feng Yu dragged their daughter out, but the little one didn't want to come out. After her protests went unanswered, she cried loudly. The two of them spent a long time trying to soothe her and managed to calm her down. Feng Yu sighed, "I feel like I'm going to be ruined."

"Why don't you go to work?"

"Why go to work? I don't know anything."

What do you want to do?

"I do not know either."

Jiang Ning pondered for a moment: "How about we buy a hotel in Sanya, and you and my sister try running it?"

Feng Yu replied uninterestedly, "I'm not buying it; it's too complicated."

"How about you go work on the farm?"

"The farm is doing just fine; my presence would only cause trouble."

Jiang Ning scratched her head a little: "Then what are we doing?"

While dressing her daughter, Feng Yu said, "I'm not doing this anymore. I was just reminiscing. Didn't you say we'd go on a trip to Xinjiang in June? Tian Tian will be starting kindergarten next year, and I'm going to have a baby. Let's talk about it when the child is older!"

Jiang Ning sighed, "Sigh, it feels like once you have a child, you're constantly revolving around the child."

Feng Yu said, "That's right. You can't understand the difficulties your parents went through before you have children. Only after you have children do you realize how hard your parents worked. My sister and I don't have to worry about supporting the family. Back then, our parents didn't have the same conditions as us, and they didn't know how difficult it was for them."

After chatting for a few minutes, I dressed my daughter.

Feng Yu went to the kitchen to help Feng Xue cook.

Jiang Ning took her daughter out to play. The little one pulled out her toy car and asked her dad to drive it with her. The car was newly bought and bigger than the one at home, big enough for an adult to sit in. They played until almost six o'clock, when dinner was ready.

Garlic crab, steamed lobster...

It was all seafood, plus a stir-fried pork dish.

Feng Xue steamed a whole pot of rice, but was still worried it wouldn't be enough.

Jiang Ning picked up a piece of stir-fried pork, which looked like it came from her hometown, and asked, "This meat doesn't look like it's from outside?"

Feng Yu said, "It was sent from home."

Jiang Ning understood: "No wonder, the pork sold outside doesn't taste like this."

While peeling shrimp for her daughter, Feng Yu said, "That's right. The meat outside doesn't taste good, and it's all thawed. We can't buy fresh meat. My uncle had someone send over a batch of meat, but it's still not as good as fresh meat."

"It's definitely better than what you buy outside."

"That's for sure!"

When are you going back to Bei'an?

"Tomorrow, I have something to do back home."

What to do with the meat in the refrigerator?

"Give it to the neighbor!"

“I don’t know any of them.”

"Then give it to the property management."

The owners of this villa area are all wealthy and powerful, but many houses are usually empty. It's rare for neighbors to run into each other. They probably buy houses here for vacations, and only come to stay for a few days occasionally.

I'm going back to Bei'an tomorrow, so I definitely need to empty the fridge.

Not knowing her neighbors, Feng Yu gave all her belongings to the property management company.

The next day at nine o'clock, after my daughter had her morning milk.

The family of four headed to the airport to fly back to their hometown.

Fly to the city, then take a big bread roll back to the farm.

Sanya is unbearably hot, but Bei'an is still chilly in early spring.

The wilderness was desolate, and only when we were almost at the farm did we see a faint patch of green.

Spring comes early to the farm; the plants sprout about ten days earlier than in the wild.

Upon arriving at the farm, we first went to the canteen for lunch.

It was lunchtime, and the cafeteria was packed with people.

"Oh, the boss is back."

"There are also two female proprietresses."

Everyone was quite surprised to see the boss and his family.

The girls in the office building were shouting and yelling, not serious at all.

Jiang Ning greeted them but didn't go to the private room on the second floor. Instead, she shared a table with Lao Yang.

Uncle also came over, while Feng Yu and Feng Xue occupied a table nearby.

I got the food and took my daughter to eat.

I didn't see Kong Fangfei.

Jiang Ning then asked, "Where is Kong Fangfei?"

Old Yang said, "They're having a meeting in the provincial capital!"

What meeting?

"It was organized by the department; there are quite a few new agricultural policies this year."

What's the situation in the county?

"I'm studying it, and I've heard that they want to promote land transfer."

New agricultural policies were introduced this year, and the hype had been going on since last year. However, the No. 1 document was not released until the end of February. The whole country was scrambling to acquire land. Huawei was farming, Alibaba was growing vegetables, and Gree was developing greenhouses. It was quite a bustling scene.

I went there because of the subsidies...

Jiang Ning didn't move, nor did he intend to take advantage of the country.

Just keeping the farm on its small plot of land is enough to support the workers.

They have no intention of expanding at all.

I'm curious to think that tech companies are going into farming.

I wonder how those people will manage to cultivate the land.

After dinner, we returned to the villa, where the heating was still on.

It was unbearably hot inside, so I opened all the windows as soon as I entered.

Jiang Tiantian was very happy to be home. The little one is almost two years and three months old. She can go up the stairs without anyone helping her. She runs up and down the stairs holding onto the railing and is very happy. After playing for a while, she got tired, so Feng Yu took her up to the third floor for a nap.

Jiang Ning didn't sleep; instead, she drove around for a while.

The apricot blossoms in the orchard are in bloom, and spring's beauty cannot be contained within the garden.

The trees in the woods are sprouting new buds, and the grass is just beginning to emerge.

Full of vitality.

The rabbits that had survived the winter also came out and ran around the garden.

A flock of blue sheep whizzed past and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The ice on the surface of the fishpond has melted, and large schools of fish are chasing and foraging for food.

It used a rainproof technique.

Before long, the sunny day turned cloudy.

After the sun disappeared, a light drizzle began to fall.

When Jiang Ning returned to the villa, the light rain turned into a downpour.

It was raining in an area within a 100-kilometer radius of the farm. The heavy rain came too suddenly, and many people who were soaked in the rain were cursing the weather forecast, but also happy that it was raining.

It's a good omen that it rained so heavily right at the beginning of spring.

As the ancients said, spring rain is as precious as oil.

After Feng Yu woke up, she heard the crackling sound from the roof.

I got out of bed and ran to the balcony, only to find that it was raining.

After getting her daughter ready, she led her downstairs.

Jiang Ning was fiddling with horse chestnuts, while Feng Xue squatted beside her watching.

Feng Yu yawned and said, "It was sunny at noon, how come it's raining now?"

While busy working, Jiang Ning said, "It's great that it's raining; it can save on water and electricity bills."
