Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

Of course, the Minliang Association is no exception.

As the first year since the establishment of the Minliang Association, all the employees of the Minliang Association are working hard and are extremely busy.

However, although I am busy, I am still very happy in my heart.

After all, Vice President Ansuo is quite humane.

Each person will be arranged to have two days of rest to spend time with their family. If you think the time is too short, you can apply individually.

In addition, all work during this period will be paid five times the salary based on the working hours, which is much more than the three times stipulated by Longmen.

The money plus the humane management means that many members have no complaints about working overtime, and many even want to stay and work overtime on their own initiative.

After all, one day is equivalent to five days, and if you finish working during the Spring Festival, it is equivalent to getting an extra month's salary, and you may even get an extra New Year's red envelope.

As long as the members of the Civilian Food Association work actively, the atmosphere in the entire slum will naturally change completely.

Even in Block No. 4, where the Blood Hand Gang was originally located, various festive stalls have been set up, selling Spring Festival couplets and red lanterns, which no one would have bought before.

But now, many people in Block 4 are rushing to buy these.

There was no way before.

Now that I have a job and a fixed salary, after solving the problem of food and clothing, I must make my life more comfortable during the New Year.

The local vegetable market also sells a lot of more expensive meats, fruits and vegetables.

Normally, no one would buy these, but now, it’s the New Year, and many people who have jobs are happy to buy some higher-end items to keep at home and enjoy a life they have never had before.

Even other blocks.

The People's Grain Association is also working hard to enable them to live a better life, and even spends extra money to buy meat and vegetables so that people can have a little taste of the Chinese New Year.

Lu Yuan walked around Block 55, looking at the thriving scene, as if the cold winter that had lasted for many years was about to pass, and everything was reviving in the spring.

An Suo stayed by Lu Yuan's side, reporting to him on the development of the Civilian Grain Association for the whole year.

Ansuo asked after finishing the report.

"Mr. Lu, are you planning to return to Yan Country tomorrow?"

"That's right. I'll set off tomorrow morning. I won't take the transport ship. I'll drive back to Yan Country by myself. Starting from Longmen, if there are no accidents on the way, I can reach Dahuang City in about a day, just in time for New Year's Eve."

Lu Yuan said as he walked.

"Ansuo, you should take a break today for the New Year. You've been busy with me all year and haven't had much rest. The overall framework of the Minliang Association has been established, and everyone has their own responsibilities. Even if you take a break for a while, nothing will go wrong. Besides, even if something really goes wrong in the slums, we still have Uncle Lin here."

Although An Suo was indeed worried about the Minliang Association.

But after hearing what Lu Yuan said.

She nodded too.

"Well! Then I will also listen to your advice, Mr. Lu, and take a rest..."

"that..."

Suddenly, An Suo's speech became a little halting. He lowered his head, looked at his toes, and hesitated.

"Mr. Lu, I'm wondering, I don't have any relatives or friends in Longmen, can I..."

"Then can I follow you... back to Yan Country later?"

An Suo finally said this sentence, as if she had used up all her strength. After she finished speaking, she took a deep breath nervously.

Originally, An Suo thought that Lu Yuan would hesitate or directly refuse.

however.

Lu Yuan didn't even think about it and answered directly: "Sure, it's really boring to leave you alone in Longmen. Why don't you follow me back to Yan Country and celebrate the New Year together with everyone."

"!!!"

After hearing Lu Yuan's words, An Suo's heart contracted and beat instantly. The corners of her mouth stretched into a grin, her amber eyes were filled with joy, her eyebrows were curved, and she was indescribably happy.

A happy Ansuo led Lu Yuan to continue strolling in the fourth block, proudly introducing the decorations he had arranged in the slums to increase the festive feeling of the people, as well as some activities specially designed to relieve the boredom of the people during New Year's Eve and Chinese New Year.

Lu Yuan nodded repeatedly as he listened.

He was also quite satisfied with the results of Ansuo's hard work, and gave him heartfelt evaluation and praise, which made Ansuo particularly happy.

Since the Civilian Grain Association had already been on the right track, An Suo and Lu Yuan no longer needed to worry about many things, so they naturally had more free time.

The two of them strolled together from noon to dusk, and An Suo was ready to go back.

"I have to go back first, Mr. Lu, I'm going to pack my luggage!"

"No problem, just come to Field No. 1 in the middle of the night."

Lu Yuan smiled.

Because there are more and more fields now.

In order to avoid confusion, Lu Yuan also named each field. The 600 square meters next to the container house was Lu Yuan's original field, naturally named Field No. 1. The 10,000 acres given by Lin Yuxia was Field No. 2. Later, the 40,000 acres given to Lu Yuan by Chief Wei were rice fields No. 3, wheat fields No. 4, and mixed fields No. 5. As for the 100,000 acres in the agricultural city block, it was Field No. 6.

Lu Yuan ran back to his residence in Block 55, and naturally returned to Field No. to take a shower and rest early today. He was ready to set off from Longmen at four in the morning, hoping to arrive early on New Year's Eve.

As soon as he arrived at Field No. 1, Lu Yuan was slightly stunned by the scene in front of him.

In Field No. 1, a figure danced freely in the unripe wheat field like a butterfly.

She was spinning, seemingly in communication with everything around her.

"Miaomiao?"

Lu Yuan, standing by the field, called out the name softly.

Muir Seth, standing on the ridge of the field, stopped. She habitually hooked her long hair by her ear with her right hand, turned her head, and a happy smile from the heart appeared on her quirky and exceptionally beautiful face.

"Xiao Yuan!!"

Muirseth turned into a stream of water flowing from the field to Lu Yuan's side. She suddenly threw herself into Lu Yuan's arms and hugged him tightly. The rich fragrance flowed from Muirseth's body and penetrated into Lu Yuan's nostrils.

Lu Yuan was stunned.

He could clearly feel the tenderness on Muirseth's chest.

This hug seemed to be just the excitement between good friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time. Muirseth quickly let go of her hand, and the redness on her cheeks could not be concealed.

She moved her little feet back, seeming a little shy, but she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart.

"Miao Miao, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I thought I was seeing things at first."

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Hee hee~"

Muirseth smiled sweetly, his teeth were white and his lips were rosy and shiny.

"Actually, I came to Longmen this morning, but I didn't tell you right away because I wanted to give Xiao Yuan a surprise in the evening."

"Hahaha~ As expected, is Xiao Yuan surprised?!"

Muirseth blinked a few times his big eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and he was lively, cute and particularly pleasing.

"Of course."

Lu Yuan told the truth.

"Is Miu Miu here on a business trip to Longmen? Or?"

Muirseth pursed his lips.

"I am indeed on a business trip. Of course, the most important thing is that I want to meet you, Xiao Yuan, and have a chat while I am on a business trip."

"Didn't Longmen have an infection attack not long ago? I came here because of that. It's said that the infection was a mutant that has never appeared in human history and is very valuable for research."

"So this time I'm going on a business trip with a few researchers from our Ecology Department. We want to come to Longmen to buy some core parts of mutated infected organisms to study."

"Although I've been thinking about meeting you, Xiao Yuan, since I arrived at Longmen, I prefer a small surprise to a sudden meeting. It might be more stylish, so I'll be at the Longmen Biological Research Institute with my colleagues during the day."

Sudden.

Muirseth changed the subject and asked with a concerned tone.

"Xiao Yuan, were you frightened by the appearance of such a huge monster? You live so close to the Longmen City Gate. Luckily, it didn't cause much damage, otherwise I would have been heartbroken..."

"It's okay, I wasn't scared."

Lu Yuan explained.

"So, did you buy it?"

"I bought some."

Muirseth felt a little lost.

"It's a shame that Longmen currently only sells flesh and blood, as well as skeletons that don't have much research value. Not only do they not sell the core at all, they also won't provide any information. But that's normal. If it were us, we would do the same."

"Such a large mutant infectious organism must be of extremely high research value..."

Lu Yuan saw Muerseth's disappointment, patted him on the head, and then said, "Then I'll talk to the Biological Research Institute and have them share some of the core materials with you, Miu Miu."

"!!!"

Lu Yuan's words made Muirseth stunned for a moment. She immediately raised her head, shook her head quickly, and waved her hands continuously.

"No need! Really, Xiao Yuan, there's no need for you to do me a favor."

Muirseth quickly refused.

Deep down, she really wanted the core of the mutant creature.

But she didn't want Lu Yuan to ask for it for her.

After all, although Lu Yuan's status in Longmen should be quite high, as he cultivated such crops, his status should be very high, but in the final analysis, he is just a researcher, and he does not have the responsibility to command the Biological Research Institute.

It goes without saying how important the core of this creature is.

How could Longmen be given to outsiders at will?

Even though Lu Yuan said it lightly, he must have paid a very high price and favors behind the scenes.

so...

Muirseth didn't want Lu Yuan to do this for her at all. Although she wanted it very much, she really couldn't bear to leave Lu Yuan.

She has already figured out a way to exchange Lu Yuan.

Maybe he would exchange it for his other core research results.

No!

Lu Yuan naturally didn't know what Muirses was thinking. Seeing Muirses's decisive attitude, he didn't say anything more, but just said something casually.

"Well, if you want it, Miu Miu, just tell me directly. Besides, I'm not selling any favors. It's just a matter of a word. After all, I'm a hunter. It's no problem for me to give a core to my good friend."

"There's really no need to do this for me..."

Muirseth was deeply moved and was about to refuse.

However, Lu Yuan's next sentence made Muir Seth stunned.

Eh? ? ?

She raised her slightly dull eyes, and many question marks floated across her head, one after another.

After a long silence.

Muirseth then spoke.

"Xiao Yuan, what did you just say?"

"If Miu Miu wants..."

"Not this one, the next one."

"I'm not selling any favors. After all, I'm a hunter..."

"!!!!!!"

After confirming it again, Muirseth was completely shocked. Her eyes were wide open, full of disbelief, and her mouth was completely open, almost falling to the ground.

"That mutant infected creature, Xiao Yuan, are you hunting? I heard it was over 300 meters tall, making it one of the most powerful among the mutant infected creatures. In the fight to kill it, Longmen suffered heavy losses, with the city walls and naval guns collapsing and more than half of them destroyed. Until someone named Lu..."

"Um....."

"Xiao Yuan, that rumored Mr. Lu, isn't that you?"
