Chapter 642 Setting up a factory in Jiapigou

Has Fan Suzhen arrived?

permanent?

Lu Yao sensed something was amiss, so he said goodbye to Jing Youxiang and Huang Yuejuan and left.

The gifts I bought were all in the Jeep, and I drove there first.

It stopped in front of Ding Dahu's house.

Ding Mei was wearing a red sweater and playing with Hu Niu in the yard.

Running around in circles, laughing heartily.

Lu Yao stopped in his tracks.

After being with so many girls, I suddenly feel... Ding Mei is still the most attractive to me.

Looking back at Zheng Shuang now... it feels like I'm mostly taking care of her when I'm with her, like I'm raising a little daughter!

Why would I have this thought? Could it be because I've been thinking about having sex with Ding Mei and Xiao Shuang lately, and that's why I have this feeling?

Ding Mei spotted Lu Yao at a glance.

She was unaware that Lu Yao had returned.

Upon closer inspection, I was immediately taken aback.

He immediately beamed with joy and rushed towards Lu Yao.

"Wow... Tuwazi, you're back!"

Her legs are much more agile now; she can run now.

I reckon I'll be able to carry it on my shoulder without any problems the day after tomorrow!

Lu Yao opened his arms, grabbed her waist, and swung her around a few times. Ding Mei's feet were flying, kicking Hu Niu and sending her tumbling. Hu Niu got up and chased after Ding Mei's shoes, trying to bite them.

"Girl, you've gained weight and gotten much fatter than before."

Lu Yao put her down.

He cupped her face in his hands.

Ding Mei looked at Lu Yao with shining eyes:

"Tuwazi, our wedding is the day after tomorrow. I'm so worried that you won't be able to make it back."

"How could that be? Marrying you is the most important thing in my life! I've thought it through. If I don't marry you, even if I don't die, God will make me be reborn to find you!"

These words truly came from the bottom of my heart.

Ding Mei was also a little touched:

"Tuwazi, me too! I feel that if I can't marry you in this life, I'll come back to find you in the next! I'm determined to fulfill our dream of being husband and wife!"

Lu Yao shuddered at what he was saying:

"Little Meizi, tell me the truth, did you live once and then come back to life?"

Ding Mei's eyes turned into crescent moons as she smiled:

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who has that ability, let alone being reborn? How could you possibly think that way!"

When Lu Yao asked the question, he stared at Ding Mei to make sure she wasn't lying.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. If Ding Mei, who is now eighteen, were also reborn, she definitely wouldn't marry me.

At that moment, someone coughed.

Xie Chunfang came out to feed the cows.

Seeing the two hugging so tightly, I quickly spoke up to remind them.

I thought to myself, "Young people these days are really open-minded."

They hugged each other right there in the yard.

The world is going to the dogs. In a few years, won't people be hugging each other in the street?

Lu Yao didn't care whether she saw it or not, but Ding Mei felt a little embarrassed.

During this time, Xie Chunfang taught her how to behave properly.

Never let a man have his way too easily from the start. Even on your wedding night, he should beg you before you give yourself to him, otherwise he will look down on you for the rest of his life.

This is Xie Chunfang's personal experience, shared as a valuable lesson.

It's also for Ding Mei's own good.

Ding Mei quickly let go of Lu Yao and got serious:

"Oh, right, Shumei's mother is here. She's staying in my old house in the west wing, and Shumei has moved in with her mother too. She said she'd stay here a while longer, and my dad refused to accept any rent.

"Then I'll go take a look."

Lu Yao took down the things he had bought for Ding Mei and asked Xie Chunfang to take them.

Xie Chunfang looked and asked:

"Didn't you give me one?"

Lu Yao smiled:

"How can we not buy gifts for our mother-in-law? Not only for you, but also for Uncle Da Hu."

As she spoke, she took out two small boxes:

Read the full text of Chapter 642, "Setting Up a Factory in Jiapigou," for free. Link:

"I specially packed it in a box. Look, it's a pure buffalo leather belt."

He shook it out and showed it to Xie Chunfang:

"You need to use buttonholes and clips for this. If you fasten it properly, it'll be difficult for anyone to pull down your pants! You always tell Ding Mei that you can't just take your pants off, right? I'll buy you a pair, and it'll be difficult for Uncle Da Hu to take your pants off."

"You shameless bastard!"

Lu Yao was beaten up by Xie Chunfang and Ding Mei.

Both mother and daughter blushed.

Lu Yao quickly picked up the other one:

"Don't hit it, this belongs to Uncle Tiger."

Xie Chunfang angrily said, "Why did you buy him such a sturdy belt? It hurts so much when you whip someone with it!"

Lu Yao ignored her worries, took the gift inside, and rushed to the west room.

Ding Mei used to sleep in this room by herself.

Lu Yao was still thinking about the first time he jumped over the wall to come to her house to find her.

Cornered in the house by Ding Dahu and Ding Youliang, he hid in Ding Mei's bed.

That was the first time I had ever been so intimate with Ding Mei.

My face was pressed against her buttocks, and I was sweating from the heat.

open the door.

The mother and daughter were chatting inside.

Both of them had tear stains on their faces.

Seeing Lu Yao and Ding Mei come in, he quickly wiped them clean.

Yuan Shumei immediately put on a smiling face:

"Hey, Lu Yao, you're back!"

"Um, what's wrong with you two?"

Lu Yao was the first to answer the question.

Before Yuan Shumei could speak, Fan Suzhen quickly replied:

"It's nothing. We were just talking about Shumei's maternal grandmother. Today is the anniversary of her death, and Shumei misses her."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

Lu Yao made a casual, polite remark, but Yuan Shumei felt that Lu Yao was very courteous.

Yuan Shumei was not sad because of her maternal grandmother, who had been dead for six or seven years.

Fan Suzhen wiped her face with a handkerchief, then stood up and let Lu Yao sit down.

Lu Yao then asked:

"Auntie, I heard from Xiao Meizi that you're staying a while longer. Aren't you going to work anymore?"

Fan Suzhen also calmed down and put on a smiling face, saying:

"It's all because of you."

"I?"

Lu Yao and Ding Mei both found it strange.

Fan Suzhen didn't tell the Ding family her purpose, nor did she tell Yuan Shumei.

We'll talk about it when Lu Yao comes back.

Now that Lu Yao is back, everyone wants to hear it.

Fan Suzhen said:

"Your uncle has already consulted with the higher authorities in the forestry department and received approval to set up a timber mill in Jiapigou Village. It will be located at the foot of Tu'erling, with timber harvesting extending as far as Yezhulin. The mill is planned to be situated behind Jiapigou Village, at the foot of Tu'erling."

What?

Yuan Shumei was taken aback.

Setting up a timber factory is no small matter for a timber company.

Why did Mom not mention it at all before, but insist on telling Lu Yao? What does that mean?

Fan Suzhen glanced at Lu Yao, then at Ding Mei, and lowered her voice, as if afraid of being overheard.

"This matter hasn't been officially approved by the county government yet, but it's already been decided. The Forestry Bureau will pilot timber processing plants in several communes this year. Jiapigou is near Tuerling, where the forests are dense and timber is readily available, making it a good place."

Lu Yao remained silent, waiting for her to continue.

Fan Suzhen continued:

"The national finances are tight right now, and the higher authorities can't allocate much money at all. So we're looking for a place to set up a small factory using the local timber resources. This would not only provide employment for some of the educated youth but also generate revenue for the bureau. Your Jiapigou is not too far from the county seat and you have the Tuerling forest, so it's the first choice. Of course, the forest farm in the whole county isn't just your place. The final decision on where to locate it will be made by your uncle, Director Yuan."

Yuan Shumei couldn't help but ask, "Mom, does that mean Dad is in Jiapigou?"

Lu Yao's heart also stirred.

I was puzzled as to why the timber company would suddenly have this idea.
