"Hehehe..." The first to laugh was none other than Liu Nannan, the little girl had a habit of sabotaging others on the spot.

"Hehehe..." Zhou Yun also laughed.

"Hehehe..." Zhao Yule laughed so hard she almost fell over, feeling that her daughter was still as cute and lovable as when she was a child.

"You...you're amazing, I'll give Zheng Dayong to you..." Li Yueting pretended to be frightened, turned around, and then burst into unrestrained laughter, her shoulders shaking violently.

"Ah..." Li Yuting screamed. Thinking about what she had just shouted out, she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground. "You...you..." Her hand trembled as she pointed at Li Yueting. Her face was as red as a big red cloth, and her big eyes were filled with endless shyness.

"Oh my, oh my, my darling..." Zhao Yu quickly pulled her daughter into her arms.

Li Yuting immediately buried her face in her mother's arms, acting like an ostrich.

"Hehe, baby, if you really like Zheng Dayong, then Mom won't object. Zheng Dayong is a hundred times better than that bastard. In this day and age, with all the glitz and glamour, education and family wealth don't matter. What matters is a person's character. We won't be the kind of fools who would rather cry in a BMW than laugh on a bicycle..." Zhao Yu said earnestly.

"Mom, please stop talking..." Li Yuting was almost dying of embarrassment.

"Hehehehehe..." Li Yueting covered her mouth and giggled, feeling that it was so satisfying to bully a little girl.

"Is it convenient?" Yang Ming's voice suddenly rang out from outside.

"Come in..." Liu Nannan said with a smile.

Yang Ming lifted the curtain and came in. Seeing Li Yuting nestled in her mother's arms, he asked with concern, "Yuting, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing..." Zhao Yu smiled so hard that crow's feet appeared at the corners of her eyes.

"Nothing's wrong..." Zhou Yun said with a smile.

"I just feel uncomfortable..." Liu Nannan said with a smile.

"It's not just that she feels unwell somewhere; she feels unwell all over, she's probably running a fever..." Li Yueting smiled mischievously.

"Oh, hehehe, Teacher Zhang, I have something to tell you, come out for a moment..." Hearing them say this, Yang Ming knew it was a woman's private talk that she couldn't tell him, so he went straight to the point.

"I'm going out for a bit, so don't bury your head in the sand..." Li Yueting said, slapping Li Yuting's bottom before putting on her shoes and getting off the bed.

"Ugh..." Li Yuting said in a muffled voice.

Yang Ming and Li Yueting went out, and the people inside continued watching TV. However, Li Yueting refused to get out of her mother's arms. Zhao Yu sighed, "If I had to choose a son-in-law, I would definitely choose someone like Yang Ming. It's a pity that Yang Ming got married too early..." As she spoke, she stroked her daughter's hair.

Yang Ming and Li Yueting went to the east room, where they sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and talked quietly.

"Is it because of the Japanese???" Li Yueting asked before Yang Ming could even ask.

"That's right..." Yang Ming nodded, "How did you do your job? How did you manage to let a Japanese person in???"

"What do you mean by letting a Japanese person in? He came in openly and honestly, accompanied by a deputy division-level cadre..." Li Yueting said.

"Is there any way to get rid of them?" Yang Ming asked.

"Why bother getting rid of him? This Japanese man definitely has accomplices. Let him stay so we can find all his accomplices..." Li Yueting said.

"Okay, as long as you know what I mean..." Yang Ming nodded.

"The situation is a bit tense now, so you'd better not let Wei Qingqing run around. Also, it's best not to let your parents leave the area of ​​Zhengjia Village and Liujia Village..." Li Yueting said.

"What about my father-in-law and mother-in-law?" Yang Ming asked.

"Then I don't need to worry about it. Other comrades will take care of it..." Li Yueting said.

"Oh..." Yang Ming nodded, "I'll talk to them, there shouldn't be any problems..."

"Auntie loves going to the market, you'd better remind her to stay home as much as possible during this time..." Li Yueting specifically reminded Zhang Shufang about her hobby.

"What about Aunt Liu and Bao'er? And Fangfang and Zhang Yang..." Yang Ming said.

"I'll take care of Aunt Liu and Bao'er, and other comrades will take care of Fangfang and Zhang Yang..." Li Yueting said.

"Hmm..." Yang Ming nodded, lost in thought.

"Are you sure you want anything else? If not, I'm going to go watch TV..." Li Yueting said.

"Oh, go ahead..." Yang Ming nodded and said.

"Okay, you should go now..." Li Yueting got up to see the guest off.

Yang Ming was frustrated... This retribution came way too fast! He was just seeing someone off, and now it's his turn...

Yang Ming left Liu Sao's house and returned to his own home. Xiao Bao'er was still lying on the kang watching Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf. When he saw his father come back, he quickly moved over to make room for him.

"Hehe, where are we in the movie...?" Yang Ming climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and watched the cartoon side by side with his daughter.

At the west end of Liujia Village, two new large tile-roofed houses have been built. The houses are very beautiful, with blue tiles inlaid on the roofs and courtyard walls, making them look the same color as the majestic green mountains. The large wooden windows exude a strong smell of tung oil. Under the long eaves, there are several wooden pigeon nests, where plump, red pigeons sit quietly on the edge of the nests, dozing off quietly, occasionally making a cooing sound, as if they are talking in their dreams, adding a strong sense of life to the small courtyard.

Several saplings were planted in the courtyard, constantly emitting a fresh scent. The east wing was a bathroom, equipped with solar panels, so people could take showers anytime. Next to the east wing was the toilet, which was also well-maintained and used a flush toilet. Urines were flushed into the nearby biogas digester. Next to the toilet was a small shed, two meters high and about 10 square meters in area. This was a doghouse specially built by Yang Zhengfang. Five large white dogs, each 120 centimeters long, lay quietly inside, dozing off while keeping their ears perked up, always alert. The west wing was a storage room where any items could be stored. The west wing was next to a passageway room, which led to a large door. The two heavy iron doors were wide open, like two gaping maws.

The lights were on in the room, and the television was playing the same show, "Mother and Wife." Yang Zhengfang and Zhang Shufang were chatting with Liu Shugen and Jiang Yue'e.

"Speaking of agritainment, it's really quite profitable. In just over a month, our family has made a net profit of 5000 yuan. That's much better than working ourselves to the bone for someone else outside," Liu Shugen exclaimed.

If it were anyone else, Liu Shugen would never reveal how much money his family had made. But Yang Zhengfang and Zhang Shufang were different. They were very close, and Yang was much richer than him. The little bit of money his family valued was just a small amount in Yang's eyes.

"Hehe, this is a good place for us..." Yang Zhengfang laughed.

"Hey... Brother Yang, tell me, what breed are your five big white dogs? Lei Zi said they're some kind of Great Danes, is that right?" Liu Shugen asked.

"Hehe, yes, it's a Great Dane..." Yang Zhengfang nodded.

"How old are they? I think they still have baby teeth..." Liu Shugen said.

"It's about six months old. I heard that adult dogs can grow to more than two meters in length..." Yang Zhengfang said.

"If we put these giant pandas on the market, each one would be worth at least ten million..." Zhang Shufang said.

"Oh? Ten million?" Jiang Yue'e was stunned.

"It's worth that much?" Liu Shugen was quite shocked.

"Of course, dogs like our Great White are several sizes larger than ordinary Great Danes, so they're practically exotic beasts. We're being conservative with the price of ten million. If we encountered some dog fanatics, they'd be worth a hundred million," Yang Zhengfang said.

"My goodness, your family has 500 million in their yard alone..." Liu Shugen exclaimed in astonishment.

"You guys are so careless! Big White and the others are so valuable, how can you leave them in the yard? Why don't you even tie them up?" Jiang Yue'e felt her blood pressure was a bit high. If it were before, she would have taken blood pressure medication, but now? Her robust physique could still handle it.

"What's there to worry about? Dogs aren't precious creatures. The better you treat them, the harder they are to keep alive. We feed our dogs wheat bran and only give them some meat every few days..." Zhang Shufang said.

"Hehe... Big White..." Thinking of Big White, Yang Zhengfang felt incredibly happy and called out in a loud voice.

Wang Wang...

The largest white dog immediately barked twice, ran out of its den, and then dashed into the east room, leaving a trail of plum blossoms the size of bowls on the snow.

With its huge paws resting on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), Big White's two ears drooped, its tongue lolling out, and its large, slightly stiff tail wagging vigorously at Yang Zhengfang.

"Hehe..." Yang Zhengfang patted Da Bai's big head, and Da Bai immediately stuck out its tongue and licked Yang Zhengfang's palm, wagging its tail even more happily...

"Our Great White was born from a Great Dane and a female wolf. Did you see its tail? It looks a bit stiff..." Zhang Shufang said.

"Oh... that's really how it is..." Liu Shugen said, staring at Da Bai's stiff tail.

"Brother Liu, it's snowing quite heavily today. How about we take Big White to hunt rabbits after the snow stops?" Yang Zhengfang said.

"Great!" Liu Shugen perked up immediately. "After it snows, the rabbits will all be hiding under the snow, making them easy to catch..."

Catching rabbits in the snow is the easiest thing to do. The rabbits are buried under the snow, and their breath melts the snow, making them appear as a thin, transparent layer. As long as people see this transparent layer, they can simply grab the rabbit...

"Look at those two, they immediately perk up when it comes to hunting rabbits..." Jiang Yue'e pulled Zhang Shufang's hand and glared at Liu Shugen.

"Hmph... How about we have a competition... You go catch rabbits, and we'll catch sparrows. Let's see who catches more..." Zhang Shufang said.

"Yes, do you dare to compete?" Jiang Yue'e also became interested.

"By weight or by the piece?" Yang Zhengfang asked.

"Of course it's sold by the piece. How can you take advantage of us?" Zhang Shufang said.

"Dare you or not? Give us a straight answer. If you don't dare, just say so. We won't laugh at you..." Jiang Yue'e used a provocation tactic.

"We've competed with you guys, but what if we win? What if we lose?" Liu Shugen asked.

"If we win, you'll be punished by not eating for three days. If we lose, we'll not eat for a month..." Jiang Yue'e said with a smile.

"Hahahaha..." Yang Zhengfang and Zhang Shufang exchanged a glance and burst into laughter simultaneously. A month without food? Let alone Jiang Yue'e not eating for a month, even if she missed just one meal, Liu Shugen would be frantic, scratching his head in frustration. He had one mouth, two bellies...

"It seems we can only lose, not win..." Liu Shugen smiled bitterly at Yang Zhengfang.

"Hehehe..." Yang Zhengfang chuckled, saying nothing. The couple was just playing around; he could just join in the fun without getting too involved.

Zhang Shufang shared the same idea, and stood up, saying, "I'll go prepare the sieves now. It will start at 5:00 AM tomorrow and continue until 5:00 PM, exactly 12 hours. We'll count the sieves in the yard at 5:00 PM. If you don't get back before 5:00 PM, you'll be counted as zero..."

Yang Zhengfang and Liu Shugen exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The city's neon lights did not dim because of the snow; on the contrary, the white snow reflected the light, making the entire city shrouded in a bizarre and dazzling light.

"Xiao Lei, it's been over two months now, and you've been studying until 5 a.m. every day. Your body can't take it. Today is New Year's Day, so you have to listen to your mother and go to bed early today, okay?" Zhang Caixia placed a glass of rich fresh milk in front of her son's desk and whispered to him as he studied hard.

Zhao Xiaolei was completely absorbed by the countless complicated exercises and didn't hear his mother's words at all. Since the school started providing goat milk, Zhao Xiaolei felt that his brain was getting better and better, his reaction was quick, and his memory was enhanced. The exercises that were difficult in the past could be solved with a little thought and a solution was found.

This is because he has a good foundation. If your foundation is weak, no matter how smart you are, you will never be able to succeed.

"Sigh..." Seeing her son engrossed in his studies and completely ignoring her, Zhang Caixia sighed and left her son's room.

Upon entering the living room, Zhao Tongsuo, looking expectant, hurriedly greeted him, asking, "How did it go? How did it go???"

"Sigh..." Zhang Caixia sighed and shook her head.

"What did he say?" Zhao Tongsuo asked anxiously.

"He didn't say anything. He was too engrossed in his own world and completely ignored me..." Zhang Caixia said.

"Sigh..." Zhao Tongsuo slapped his thigh hard. He used to urge his son to stay up late studying, but now that his son was studying on his own, he was scared. Staying up until 5 a.m. meant only two hours of sleep a day. Once, he even secretly checked on his son while he was sleeping, only to be met with a stare between father and son. This meant that his son wasn't asleep at all. Any parent would be terrified in this situation...

"I see that Xiao Lei is perfectly fine. He's in good spirits and his health is also good. He should be alright..." Zhang Caixia said hesitantly.

"It's just a superficial phenomenon, a superficial phenomenon. This doesn't conform to the laws of nature..." Zhao Tongsuo said worriedly.

"Why don't you call Teacher Wei and ask him if this goat milk has any side effects?" Zhang Caixia was also worried, after all, it concerned her son, so she couldn't be careless.

"I'm calling him, I want to sue him..." Zhao Tongsuo was furious when he mentioned Wei Jianguo. It was this "Teacher Wei" who delivered goat milk to his son, which led to this situation, while Wei Jianguo made a fortune in the process.

In Zhao Tongsuo's eyes, Wei Jianguo, who was responsible for connecting the school and the supplier, must have made a profit from it.

Zhao Tongsuo dialed Wei Jianguo's number. The phone was answered after only two rings. Before Zhao Tongsuo could speak, Wei Jianguo's voice came from the other end: "Don't worry, I can guarantee with my integrity that the fresh milk my son-in-law provides will absolutely have no side effects. You can drink it without worry. If anything really happens, I'll leave these hundred-plus kilograms to you to deal with. You can do the math. One carton of milk costs one yuan. There are about five thousand teachers and students in the whole school. If each person drinks one carton of goat milk and one carton of cow milk every day, that's ten thousand yuan a day. And over 365 days a year, that's a maximum of three million six hundred and fifty thousand yuan a year. Don't we have any costs for our fresh milk? Whether it's the milk itself or the packaging, we're lucky if we can make a penny. So, I hope this parent understands that we really don't make any money from it, and we're definitely not losing money to gain publicity. We genuinely hope that our children, who have studied hard for more than ten years, can have a bright future..."

"..." Zhao Tongsuo stared blankly with his mouth agape after dialing the phone.

Zhang Caixia, watching from the side, was extremely worried. Finally, after Zhao Tongsuo hung up the phone, she couldn't help but ask, "Old Zhao, what happened? Did you get through?"

"It's working, amazing..." Zhao Tongsuo muttered to himself, his mind completely blank.

"What happened?" Zhang Caixia asked hurriedly.

"How did he know I contacted him about the fresh milk? It's like he knows everything, like he knows what I'm thinking..." Zhao Tongsuo stared blankly at his wife.

"..." Zhang Caixia was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Don't you understand? It must be because Teacher Wei has received too many similar calls these days, and he's probably already mastered how to answer them..."

"Hmm..." Zhao Tongsuo thought for a moment and nodded. In fact, this was the most reasonable explanation.

"Sigh, how's it going with my uncle? He said he wanted to introduce us to his sworn brothers, but then he postponed it for two months. What's going on?" Zhang Caixia said.

"How would I know? The old man just suddenly disappeared. We're not exactly free people, so it's better not to go. There are so many things to do all day long, who has the time for that???" Zhao Tongsuo said.

"Hehe, that's true..." Zhang Caixia sat down on the sofa, picked up a sweater, and started knitting.

"Sigh! Now that you mention it, I feel quite sorry for Teacher Wei. Just listening to him talk like that without even pausing for breath, you can imagine how he's been getting through these past few days..." Zhao Tongsuo lit a cigarette and started puffing out smoke.
