"Brother Hong, what happened to Jianguo?" Xue Hua recognized Director Hong's voice and asked hurriedly, his voice choked with emotion.

"You have the nerve to ask? What did you say to Jianguo? Did something happen to Jianguo? Didn't you say Qingqing was pregnant? What's going on???" Director Hong said.

"My mother-in-law said that if Qingqing is pregnant with twins, one of them should be surnamed Wei. When I told Jianguo this news, he went crazy and started laughing like a madman. I was terrified..." Xue Hua said, her voice trembling with tears.

"So that's what happened? That's understandable. Old Wei is alright, he'll be fine soon..." Director Hong understood Wei Jianguo's feelings and quickly comforted Xue Hua.

"Old Hong, Old Wei might have gone mad..." a teacher holding Wei Jianguo suddenly said urgently.

"Slap them both across the face first, to bring them to their senses..." Director Hong roared, gesturing to the students peeking in from outside, "Who let you out??? Did the school bell ring? Go back right now..."

Splash...

The students all ran away.

clap clap...

After the students left, one of the teachers immediately rolled up his sleeves and slapped Wei Jianguo hard on both cheeks twice.

Wei Jianguo immediately regained his senses, his eyes clearing. Looking at the group of teachers holding him down, he asked in confusion, "What are you doing???"

"Phew! Brother Wei, you're finally awake..."

"Oh my god, that scared us so much..."

"That's terrifying..."

All the teachers breathed a sigh of relief, especially the one who had slapped Wei Jianguo, who hid behind someone.

"Why does my face feel numb?" Wei Jianguo asked, touching his slightly swollen cheek.

Everyone turned their attention to the teacher who had slapped Wei Jianguo across the face. Seeing there was no way to avoid it, the teacher forced a smile and said, "Brother Wei, really! Did you go crazy just now? You were slapping yourself so hard, it scared us all! We couldn't stop you no matter what we did..."

A towering mountain to be admired...

When everyone looked at this teacher, their admiration was beyond words; this was the legendary quick wit!

"Hehe, really??" Wei Jianguo chuckled, giving the teacher a meaningful look. "I forgot something, Brother Hong, give me the phone..."

"Ah! You guys are busy, I'll go first..." The teacher, after being looked at like that by Wei Jianguo, immediately made an excuse and ran away.

"Jianguo, are you really alright?" Director Hong handed the phone to Wei Jianguo from a distance.

"It's nothing..." Wei Jianguo smiled and took the phone. "Hey, Lao Xue..."

"Jianguo, are you alright?" Xue Hua burst into tears upon hearing her husband's voice.

"Hey, what could I possibly need? I have something to tell you. Go ask our son-in-law how much goat milk he has..." Wei Jianguo said.

"What are you doing?" Xue Hua asked.

"I want him to sell goat milk at our school..." Wei Jianguo said.

"Hey, Jianguo, there are school rules that teachers can't force students to buy anything..." Director Hong reminded him at the time.

"It's voluntary, okay???" Wei Jianguo rolled his eyes at Director Hong. "We sell goat milk, we absolutely don't force anyone, isn't that enough???"

"I..." Director Hong was speechless. In fact, if it was voluntary for both parties, the school and the education bureau really couldn't do anything about it.

"You mean, selling goat milk at our school???" Xue Hua perked up. "Your idea might actually be feasible. Our Bao'er drinks goat milk all the time, and now she always gets 100 on her tests. This morning, her class was electing a class monitor, and she was competing against another girl who also got 100. They went through four rounds of competition, from third grade all the way to sixth grade, and neither could gain the upper hand. Then Zhang Hong made a stupid move. Since they couldn't decide the winner through strategy, she changed it to a fight. As a result, both girls ended up with bruises."

"Is the little girl alright?" Wei Jianguo immediately became worried, as he also adored Xiao Bao'er.

"It's nothing, just a minor cut, it won't leave a scar..." Xue Hua said.

"That's good..." Wei Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief. "Ask Yang Ming how much goat milk he can produce. Let's try it on the third grade first. If it works well, we'll act as a go-between and get Yang Ming to sign an agreement with the school..."

"Okay, I'll ask right away..." Xue Hua said, then hung up the phone.

"I'm telling you, Jianguo, this is the first time I've realized you're so materialistic and vulgar..." Director Hong had a problem with Wei Jianguo, his face long and drawn.

The other teachers also looked at Wei Jianguo with unfamiliar eyes.

"There's no other way, we're under too much pressure, we have to make the kids work overtime and fight through the night..." Wei Jianguo shrugged, took out a carton of goat milk from the drawer, which he was preparing to replenish his energy when he was tired. "Two parents of students came by earlier and insisted on asking me where they could buy this milk. Since my son-in-law's milk is selling so well, as his father-in-law, of course I have to help him find a market..." As he spoke, he tossed the carton of milk to Director Hong.

Director Hong held the goat milk, looking at it from all angles. It didn't seem like a well-known brand product on the market, and he hesitated, not daring to drink it.

"Milk is for drinking, not for looking at. With your wide bladder, even if you get sick from drinking it, it won't matter..." Wei Jianguo said with a smile.

Director Hong's forehead immediately creased with black lines: "Wei Jianguo, do you believe I'll pull your genitals out of the water, clean them up, and eat them with my drinks???" Despite saying that, Director Hong still inserted a straw and took a sip.

"Hiss???" Director Hong was a fat man, and his head was usually dizzy. The effect of drinking this goat milk was surprisingly good. With the first sip, he felt a refreshing energy surge to the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head, and then spread out with a bang, bringing this refreshing feeling to all parts of his body. His eyes widened involuntarily.

"What's wrong??" A group of teachers couldn't help but ask curiously when they saw Director Hong's shocked expression.

Without saying a word, Director Hong simply opened Wei Jianguo's drawer, stuffed all the boxes of milk inside into his arms, and then turned and ran away.

"Director Hong, Old Hong, you fatso, give it back to me..." Wei Jianguo shouted loudly at Director Hong's back, but the chubby Director Hong suddenly possessed speed comparable to Liu Xiang, disappearing in the blink of an eye, leaving Wei Jianguo and a group of teachers looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Old Wei, what kind of treasure is that breast of yours? It made Old Hong lose his composure???"

"Brother Wei, you're not being fair. We work in the same office, and this is the first time we've ever heard you have something good..."

"Jianguo, you're such a jerk! We always think of you when we have something to eat, but you just hoard the good stuff for yourself..."

A group of teachers immediately started talking at once, giving Wei Jianguo a real headache. Just then, the school bell rang, and Wei Jianguo grabbed the nutritional supplements that Grandpa Mei had brought and fled in panic.

After hanging up the phone, Xue Hua didn't go to discuss it with Yang Ming, but instead pulled her daughter aside.

"Mom, what's wrong? Did something happen?" Wei Qingqing asked with concern when she saw the tear stains on her mother's face.

"It's nothing. Mom asked you, where does your family's goat milk come from?" Xue Hua didn't answer her daughter's question, but skipped over it and went straight to the point.

"Where did it come from? Only Yang Ming knows about this channel... I don't know..." Wei Qingqing was at her wit's end.

"Your dad just called me and said he wants to sell goat milk at the school. He asked me to ask Yang Ming if he can supply it..." Xue Hua said.

Xue Hua and her daughter played a trick on each other, not mentioning that they were currently supplying the third grade, because she had confidence in goat milk. For this kind of dairy product that could boost one's energy, every parent who hoped their children would get into a good university would not hesitate to spend money.

"There must be four or five thousand people in the school, right?" Wei Qingqing asked.

"Of course..." Xue Hua nodded.

"It should be fine, right? Aunt Zhang and the others have something to do with this... I'll ask Yang Ming tonight and get back to you then. It shouldn't be a big problem..." Wei Qingqing didn't give a definitive answer. If it was just for her family to drink, she could have agreed right away. But if it was to be sold at the school, she would have to discuss it with Yang Ming first. After all, when Yang Ming signed the contract with Zhang Yingning, he wasn't allowed to do wholesale. Even if he sold it retail, the price couldn't be lower than what he sold to Yingning Hotel.

Speak of the devil, and he appears! Just as Wei Qingqing thought of Zhang Yingning, Zhang Yingning's cheerful voice rang out in the valley: "Qingqing, your sister Yun and I have come to see you. You've really made us proud..."

"Oh, it's Aunt Zhang..." Wei Qingqing quickly went to greet her.

"Hehe, your older sister is here..." Zhang Shufang, who was talking to her younger brother, wiped away her tears and greeted him with a smile.

"Sister Zhang..." Zhang Zhenhua and Zhang Yingning knew each other, and Zhang Zhenhua followed behind his sister to greet her.

"Oh my, Aunt Zhang is here..." Sun Fangfang, who was playing with her son with her mother-in-law in the house, poked her head out of the window and called out loudly, then came out to greet her with her mother-in-law.

"Aunt Zhang, Sister Yun, we were just talking about you, and here you are..." Wei Qingqing warmly took Zhang Yingning's hand and said affectionately.

"Hehehe, you're such a good girl! You're pregnant, how could your aunt not come to see you?..." Zhang Yingning laughed.

"I never expected Qingqing to be going to be a mother..." Liu Yun said with a smile.

"Sister, I'm going to be a grandma too..." Zhang Shufang said with a smile as she held Zhang Yingning's hand.

"Congratulations, congratulations..." Zhang Yingning smiled so broadly her eyes disappeared.

"Hehe, where's Yangyang?" Xue Hua said with a smile.

"Hey, there it is up ahead. That little rascal can't move when he sees food..." Liu Yun's face fell a little when she mentioned her son, and she could picture her son drooling over the delicious food in her mind.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone sat down at the table to drink tea and chat.

"Aunt Zhang, I have something to tell you..." Wei Qingqing handed Zhang Yingning a carton of goat milk. "My parents want to sell goat milk at the school. What do you think about it?"

"Selling goat milk at school??" Zhang Yingning raised an eyebrow as she drank her milk.

"Yes, it's our No. 1 Middle School in the west of the city..." Xue Hua said.

"That's a good thing! I think this is a good thing. Drinking this goat milk makes people feel energetic. If the children drink it, they will be able to get into a good university in the future. It will have an impact on their entire lives..." Zhang Yingning breathed a sigh of relief. If it were just a school, then it could be assumed that they were pursuing a high college entrance rate and doing it for the children's good, not to make money. If that were the case, she wouldn't be the bad guy. If her obstruction prevented the children who had studied hard for more than ten years from getting into their ideal university, then she would have committed a huge sin.

Besides, she had met Wei Jianguo and Xue Hua before. With her sharp eye for people, she could tell at a glance that these two were not the kind of people who would betray their principles for personal gain. On the contrary, they had an air of pride and detachment, as if they were incorruptible.

"That's great! This time, the college entrance rate of No. 1 Middle School will definitely take a big leap forward..." Xue Hua said happily.

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang..." Wei Qingqing said quickly.

"Don't thank me yet, I have one more condition," Zhang Yingning said with a mischievous smile, pointing to the goat milk carton in her hand, "that is, you must write 'Exclusive Distributor of Yingning Hotel' on it..."

"Exclusive distributorship for Yingning Hotel? What about Sister Mei, Brother Pao, and the others?" Wei Qingqing asked with a smile.

"Then let's add them too..." Zhang Yingning said with a smile.

"No problem..." Wei Qingqing patted her chest and assured her.

"Hehe, Aunt Zhang is going to make a fortune this time. If the students at No. 1 Middle School have a skyrocketing college entrance rate because of drinking goat milk, then Aunt Zhang's goat milk will be sold out... Even if it's 100 yuan a box, people will still be fighting over it, right? Parents are the most willing to spend money on their children..." Sun Fangfang said with a smile.

"Hehe, don't say that. It's just a small business with little profit. How can we make any money?" Zhang Yingning couldn't stop smiling. How could she not have thought of that?

So, the matter of supplying milk to the school was settled. It was simple; Yang Ming just needed to buy more long-tailed purple sheep.

Xue Hua received a definite answer from her daughter and immediately called Wei Jianguo, who was at home entertaining school leaders.

After robbing the milk, Director Hong quickly fled, taking the goat milk to the principal's office for the school leaders to taste and evaluate. Of course, one carton was enough for the school leaders to taste and evaluate; the rest naturally went into Director Hong's pocket.

From Principal Hu to the vice principals and the director of the political education department, after enduring the nausea and tasting the goat milk with a straw, they all keenly discovered the benefits of this goat milk for the children's learning. They unanimously agreed that this goat milk must be included in the students' diet. Of course, these days, no one can force anyone else; the school can only add the words "strongly recommended" to this goat milk.

Therefore, the school, led by Principal Hu, and a group of school leaders came to Wei Jian's country.

"How was it? Jianguo???" Principal Hu looked at Wei Jianguo, who had just finished the phone call and was all smiles, with hopeful eyes. His heart was pounding, and he felt even more nervous than on his first date with his wife.

The other school leaders also looked at Wei Jianguo with hopeful eyes, their hearts clenching.

"Hehe, it's done. The specific price will be calculated separately, but it definitely won't be too expensive..." Wei Jianguo gave everyone a satisfied answer with a smile.

"Phew..." The group of school leaders let out a long sigh of relief, then looked at each other and burst into laughter.

They all looked forward to next year's college entrance examination, wondering how Chengxi No.1 High School would shock the city, the province, and even the whole country.

Time flies, and it's already New Year's Day 2011.

The peaceful Zhengjia Village remains peaceful. In the past two months, the agritainment business has achieved great success. Since October 30th, because of Wei Qingqing's pregnancy, many relatives have taken taxis to Zhengjia Village to offer their congratulations. As a result, the village has become famous through the mouths of taxi drivers. The most famous thing about Zhengjia Village is its food. The taxi drivers who came to Zhengjia Village that day were fortunate enough to taste the local farm dishes.

From that day on, tourists flocked to Zhengjia Village every day. Later, because there were too many people, Zhengjia Village simply couldn't accommodate them all. Then, through Aunt Liu's connections, Liujia Village was also included in the agritainment program, which finally managed to accommodate a few more people. However, as the number of people increased, the "housing crisis" would soon return.

Compared to the bustling Zhengjia Village, Yang Ming's house was much quieter. Lush green ivy covered the fence, and the long vines stretched out and climbed onto the two side rooms, creating a shaded area. This ordinary farmhouse brought a vibrant life to the winter.

Because of the dense and lush ivy, Yang Ming's house has become a scenic spot in the village. After all, in this season when everything is filled with withered yellow, such a clump of green is definitely eye-catching. All tourists who come to Zhengjia Village will visit Yang Ming's house and take good photos against the backdrop of the withered yellow scenery outside.

Zhang Yang's house was also completed. With Yang Ming providing meals for the construction workers every day, the workers were full of energy and didn't want to slack off at all. They just wanted to unleash their energy. As a result, Zhang Yang's two-story house was built in just half a month. Since the house was to be built with a wooden structure, the unfinished house was left to dry for more than a month. Yesterday, the wooden boards were put on and the furniture was placed. They moved in today.

The bridge has been repaired. It is made of reinforced concrete and is about ten meters wide. It looks exceptionally sturdy and, if properly maintained, should last for about ten years.

The new hot spring pool has also been built, right next to the new greenhouse. The hot spring pool has been built into a huge indoor hot spring, divided into nine pools. The gurgling water flows into the pool, circles around, and then flows into the new greenhouse through the drainage pipes to irrigate the vegetables.

Every day, people flock to the hot spring pool. Since its construction, the hot spring pool has never been without people, day and night. Wei Qingqing earned 8000 yuan a month just from the five yuan bathing fee per person, making a small fortune.

The clock ticked until 10 a.m.

"Qingqing, tell your sister-in-law, where did you buy that yarn?" On the kang (heated brick bed) at Yang Ming's house, Aunt Liu was doing her work while talking to Wei Qingqing, who was knitting a sweater.

Nowadays, Yang Ming's Huaxia Garment Co., Ltd. has received many orders, and Liu Sao is already immersed in heavy work. However, needlework is Liu Sao's hobby, so she does not feel tired of it.

"Where did you buy it?" The sweater that Wei Qingqing knitted for Yang Ming had already been finished. After Yang Ming put it on, it fit him exceptionally well and looked beautiful. He couldn't help but praise Wei Qingqing profusely. Wei Qingqing's confidence was greatly boosted, so she decided to knit a sweater for everyone in the family.

In the past two months, Wei Qingqing has knitted one for Zhang Shufang, one for Yang Zhengfang, one for her mother Xue Hua, one for her father Wei Jianguo, and one for Xiao Bao'er. This one is for Aunt Liu. Sun Fangfang was envious and wanted one too, but Wei Qingqing refused very directly... "Here's the yarn, so you'd better do a good job."

So Sun Fangfang was buried under a pile of yarn, and spent her days struggling with it.
