Chapter 245: Just Waiting for the Welcome Banquet (Two in One)

Wynn Tun a dozen minutes ago.

A guy from an unknown village was still hanging around outside when it was getting dark. After seeing the signal flares rising one after another, he started shouting in the village, attracting every household to come out to watch the fun.

Because Su Shaoda had publicized it in the village earlier, when they saw the flare, everyone knew that it meant that the Nan family’s son-in-law’s feat had succeeded.

The men put their hands in their sleeves and pouted, looked at each other, and then sighed softly in tacit understanding;
In just two or three years, how did the guy who was looked down upon by everyone transform into the celebrity of Zhazi Forest Farm?

The women, on the other hand, are a little more pragmatic;
“Sister Liu! In this way, won’t there be no one to compete with Sister Yan’s apple business?”

“Not so good at all!” The old woman pointed at the village and said, “Before, the Jin and Kuang families in the village were serious about growing fruit trees and selling the fruits. Now I heard that they have stopped growing fruit since the beginning of spring. When the time is right, they will dig up the trees and plant them in the Lu family as compensation to Lu Yinhua.”

“The Lu family? Lu Yinhua is also bringing those two shameful people, Kuang Wenqiao and Jin Weili, to mess with her?
Isn’t she afraid that those two will do something weird to her again?” Upon hearing this, the old woman from another family also came over with her child in her arms to join in the fun.

“That’s what I mean, Sister Liu. How dare those two people go looking for Lv Yinhua? I remember that the fruit tree in Lv Yinhua’s house belonged to Lao Nan!
At that time, they will either have to pay compensation to the Nan family, or give the trees of Kuang Wenqiao and Jin Weili directly to the Nan family. What else can they do?”

“Where did you hear that? How come you only heard half of it?” The woman raised her eyebrows and then beckoned to the two of them.
“Among all the trees of the Lu family, there is only one that belongs to the Nan family. It was secretly given to Lu Yinhua by the second daughter of the Nan family. Now I heard that they are planning to compensate the Nan family for the fruit tree.”

“Compensation?” Both women were surprised.

“Two of the three were injured, and one of the fruit trees was completely destroyed. If we transplant the fruit trees next year, there will definitely be no harvest in the next few years. Where can we get so much money to compensate?”

“Hey~ Let me tell you, although Lu Yinhua is not a very good person, she has a really smart mind when it comes to business!
I also passed by one day. Kuang Wenqiao and Jiang Weiqun were just going back home, and I heard it from behind.

Even though the three of them can’t play with apples anymore, they can still play with apple juice.”

“Apple juice?”

“Yeah.” Sister Liu raised the corners of her mouth, enjoying the curious and admiring looks of the two people, “Just crush the apples and add water, and make juice!

Put it in soda bottles and sell it as a beverage. A bottle is no cheaper than soda!”

“This thing is bland, what flavor can it have?”

“that is!”

“You two are stupid, aren’t you?” Sister Liu couldn’t help laughing, “You can add some sweetness to it!”

She deliberately concealed her feelings and didn’t directly say what others had added, but her two older sisters were straightforward and naturally started to cry out in dismay.

One said adding sugar is expensive.

The other one was the more cautious type, and he immediately concluded that the sugar added by the three families was definitely not good sugar.

Sister Liu laughed out loud and told the truth.

“What good sugar is this? They don’t even add sugar to it.”

“What? What do you put in there?”

“saccharin!”

The two old ladies blinked their eyes when they heard this, and then the woman holding the child was the first to react.
“Ah~ I remember it! Last time I went to town with my boss, the store there sold this stuff. It’s a small bag, one cent, and you can drink it with water. It’s so sweet!”

“Yes!” Sister Liu clapped her hands, “That’s the stuff! I heard it clearly the other day. Kuang Wenqiao and Jin Weili said that this is what they added to the juice!”

“This… this juice, can it be delicious? And it tastes so weird, isn’t it sour?”

“I guess it’s not good. Even though it’s not bland after adding saccharin to water, the apple juice will become sour and astringent after being diluted with water in no time! Aren’t you afraid that others will have diarrhea after drinking it~”

“Sister Liu, they’re doing this, and they’re still selling it for the same price as soda?
Is there really any business?”

“You asked that!” Sister Liu glared, “If there was no business, why would those three people bother?

I see they are doing great business!”

“Ah? Is this going to work?”

“Of course!” Sister Liu raised her chin towards the direction of Lv Yinhua’s home in the village again, “I heard before that they plan to buy a small amount of fruit from Lao Nan’s family in the next few years and bring it back to make juice. The profit will be much more than trading fruit trees.

Once the transplanted fruit trees bear fruit, we can even save the money on buying fruit!”

“Be good…”

“No, you two don’t want to do it too, do you?”

Sister Liu raised her eyebrows and grinned, “I advise you two to give up this idea as soon as possible. Do you think the three of them are still showing up in the village now?

He completely avoids people and won’t play with you guys at all!

Moreover, these three people can be so cruel to their own people, aren’t you afraid that if you join them, they will kill you till there is nothing left?”

“Aren’t they avoiding people because their faces are disfigured?”

“Hahaha! But what Sister Liu said is right. These three are no good. We won’t play with them…”

At the same time, Su Shaoda and He Yingjie, who had seen enough of the flares, returned to the garrison office.

“Old He, seeing this signal today means that Dai Pao and his men have successfully found the specific location on the border.

When our army goes over to suppress them later, we will never be able to defeat these Sumao wolves in the Zhazi Forest Farm again!”

“Well, it took less than a week for Dai Pao to find the place. Now that they know the specific location, the army will definitely be more efficient!”

He Yingjie said this and made eye contact with Su Shaoda.

Su Shao grinned, because he had seen similar thoughts in the other person’s eyes.

“Old He, it seems like you can’t hold it back any longer!”

“Haha, of course!” He Yingjie took out two cigarettes, gave one to Su Shaoda, and held the other in his mouth.
“I am the director of public security in Yongli Village, in charge of so many militiamen.
Although everyone has their own expertise, in the end, with all our guns, we can’t do anything to that Su Maolang.
The young man, at a young age, had a lot of good ideas in his head. Not only did he easily keep Tuanjie Village safe, he also brought back a little human bear from the mountain.”

At this point, He Yingjie took a deep puff of cigarette, exhaled a long stream of smoke, and shook his head.
“Every time I think of this, I feel like I’m getting old, Lao Su.”

Su Shaoda also squinted his eyes and smoked deeply, then turned his head and crossed his legs.
“Ah~ there’s nothing we can do about it. He’s very capable, and we have no choice but to admit our age!”

“That’s why I was thinking, now the militia has mastered the wolf-killing technology, and the cause of all this is about to be solved. There is hope for completely killing all the Su-mao wolves. We can’t always be one step behind others. We must take the initiative and quickly kill all the Su-mao wolves in the 71st Forest Squad!

Although we can’t catch up with Class 78, we can’t fall behind the other classes. If we do, we will lose face!”

“Right!” Su Shaoda slapped his thigh, “Let’s think about this tonight, and try to come up with a plan in the next two days. Then we can drive the wolves out of the mountains and kill them all!”

“The efficiency of clearing the mountain is too low, I think…”

When the two were discussing intensely, the phone beside them suddenly rang.

Su Shaoda picked up the microphone and put it to his ear.

“Hello? Who is this? Who are you looking for?”

“Hello? Captain Su, this is Nan Chunwan. Could you please ask my parents to answer the phone?”

“Ah! Xiaonan!” Su Shaoda’s face suddenly broke into a smile.

Putting aside the fact that Nan Chunwan’s husband is Dai Song, who is currently in the limelight,
He also hoped that the parents would be willing to lead the villagers to get rich together in the future, expand and strengthen the orchard economy, and even turn it into a special income category for the 71st Forestry Class!

When He Yingjie heard that the other party was Nan Chunwan, he immediately put out his cigarette and walked to the door. After seeing Su Shaoda respond several times and then hang up the receiver, he immediately opened the door and walked out of the office.

Su Shaoda hurried to catch up, and the two of them “rushed” to the office where Old Li usually stayed. After Su Shaoda briefly repeated a few sentences, Old Li did not dare to delay and immediately rushed to the Nan family.

Nan family.

Except for the fat boy Nan, who was happily playing with the small toys he got from his sister last time when she came to share snacks, the other adults were sitting on the kang with sad faces.

They were not worried about their young son-in-law who was going to the border to do something big;
After these two meetings, they saw the changes in their son-in-law and trusted each other deeply.

The reason why he was frowning at the moment was entirely because of his second daughter who caused him a lot of trouble.

“Xia Ze.” Yan Pandi raised his head, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly. “Did Qiumei really tell you that?”

“Yeah.” Nan Xia Ze put one hand on the table and the other hand on his knee.

“But!” Yan Pandi grinned, his voice almost tearful, “But how did Daming owe the fifty thousand yuan?”

“We don’t know the details.” Nan Xia Ze shook his head and sighed, “She told me that there was a problem with the Daming project and asked me if I could lend him some money. When he gets back on track after the New Year, she will return the money to me.”

“What kind of project can owe 50,000? Xia Ze had nothing at the beginning, and he didn’t suffer such a severe famine!” Nan Guofu couldn’t help it, “It can’t be that these two people are doing something shady!
Xia Ze, when Ren Daming wanted to go it alone, how did he tell you about it? “

Ever since Nan Qiumei and her husband were exposed last time when they came to her parents’ home to target Nan Chunwan, not long after they returned, Ren Daming and his brother-in-law proposed to go it alone.

Not only that, he also wants to take away a group of people from Nan Xia Ze to form his own team.

Nan Xia Ze immediately told his family about this. For the Nan family, although Nan Qiumei had done the wrong thing first, they were still responsible for her crimes. No matter how unhappy the old couple were, they could not give up their relationship with their second daughter.

Nan Xia Ze’s business was indeed big enough, and he didn’t mind giving his brother-in-law some starting capital.

This matter was exactly what Nan Qiumei wanted at the time.

But the good times didn’t last long. Not long after this incident, Nan Qiumei called again.

The news this time was even more explosive. He wanted to borrow 50,000 yuan from Nan Xia Ze as soon as he opened his mouth!

You know, Nan Xia Ze initially started out by leading the “part-time team” from Yonglitun and working on it bit by bit.

It was only in the past few years that I really made my fortune and expanded my business bit by bit. I do have some savings, and as some people have said, I have even become a true millionaire.

But once you reach the threshold of becoming a household with an income of 10,000 yuan, the gap inside is much bigger than outside.

Ten thousand yuan can be called a ten thousand yuan household, and one hundred thousand yuan can also be called a ten thousand yuan household.

The money Nan Xiaze had now, including the money he was going to use to pay his workers before the New Year, was about 50,000! In other words, Nan Qiumei might need even more.

She asked Nan Xia Ze for 50,000 simply because she knew that Nan Xia Ze had 50,000!
Nan Xiaze repeated the situation, and Nan Guofu’s facial features wrinkled up immediately.
“You can’t lend it to me! Xia Ze, fifty thousand yuan is a lot of money. If you lend it to me, what will your sister give you back?”

Yan Pandi got anxious when he heard this, “If we don’t lend the money, what will Qiumei and Daming do? Didn’t she say she would pay it back after the New Year when the money is turned around?”

“Turnaround bullshit!” Nan Guofu slammed the table, startling the fat boy who was playing with toys nearby. The fat boy knew that the adults were discussing the mess at the second aunt’s house.

Firstly, he didn’t like his second aunt who bullied his younger aunt, and secondly, these matters were not something a child like him could have a say in, so he immediately moved his butt, moved to the edge of the kang, and continued to play by himself.

Nan Guofu continued,
“Xia Ze has been in this business for so long and has only built up some foundation. How long has Ren Daming been doing this?
Why did you save so much?
What is he going to do? Can he make the money back after the New Year? “

“Who knows? But we can only watch…”

“Stop, stop, stop! Stop it now!” Nan Guofu interrupted Yan Pandi.
“Let me make it clear! We absolutely cannot lend you this money!
What can Ren Daming and the Ren family give in return?

Is it his parents’ pension, or the house in town?

Let me be frank, once you borrow this money, it will be absolutely impossible to pay it back!
I can’t ruin my eldest son’s family and fill the hole for Erya!

The key is that Erya is still an ungrateful person! I am even more unhappy with this!
What happened? Her older brother and I worked very hard at that time to support her and her sister’s schooling.

Is that how she treats us?!

Now that we are in trouble, we are thought of!

Oh, that’s a nice thought! “

Yan Pandi stopped talking. Although Nan Guofu’s words hurt his heart, they were all true.
As a maid as well, the first thing Nan Chunwan and her son-in-law did after they became rich was to give back to her parents’ home.

Not only did it solve the problem of fruit sales, which had been difficult for several years, but it also attracted a number of powerful buyers.

This immediately turned the precarious Nanjia Orchard into a key project of Yongli Village. In the future, it will be used as the village’s signature project to help the villagers get rich.

But what about Nan Qiumei?
After she got married, she said she lived in town and was considered a city dweller, but she rarely came back and never remembered to bring anything with her.

It is understandable that they want to save money to buy a house, but what about giving away their fruit trees to others?
Isn’t this simply betrayal?

Just as the atmosphere in the Nan family continued to deteriorate, the voice of Old Li was heard outside the courtyard.

“Lao Nan! Are you home?”

“What’s the matter, Old Li?” Nan Guofu walked to the window and looked at the glass. Old Li outside immediately walked into the yard on the snow and came to the window.

There were two layers of plastic paper covering the outside of the window, and Old Li’s figure was covering the window. Although it was blurry, it was very recognizable.

“What else could it be? There are flares flying all over the sky outside! Guess what it is!”

“Flare?” Yan Pandi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and blinked.

Nan, who was sitting at the head of the kang, brightened his eyes when he heard this.

“It’s my uncle!”

The little fat boy howled happily, stuffed the small toy into his trouser pocket, and slid off the kang nimbly.

A few days ago, my aunt called and said that my uncle-in-law was going to the Heijiang border. He pestered my grandparents and asked about all the details. Naturally, he knew the idea of ​​using flares to send messages proposed by my uncle-in-law.

So when he heard the news, the little fat boy didn’t even have time to put on his shoes, and ran out of the house with his short legs.

When he saw the flare slowly sliding down the horizon, he opened his mouth wide with joy.

Nan Xia Ze slapped his son on the buttocks, sent him back into the house, and invited Old Li in.

Old Li waved his hands.
“I’m not going into the house! Come with me to the headquarters quickly!
Just now, Chunwan called and said that Xiao Daipao had successfully completed his mission in the north and was on his way home, having also done something important on the way.

We don’t know the details, but you should just go and call Chunwan back!
In addition, he also said that when Xiao Daipao returns, his leaders will arrange a welcoming banquet in the town, and as his wife’s family, you should go along with him!”

Old Li was in a hurry and spoke very quickly. After he finished speaking, he started walking towards the village headquarters.

The Nan family members in the room blinked their eyes, seemingly unable to react. However, as their eyes refocused and collided with each other,
Everyone began to put clothes on themselves in a hurry.

Nan Guofu was so anxious that he put on his sweater only to realize that he hadn’t put on the cotton-padded jacket underneath.

The fat boy couldn’t even put on his shoes properly. He put them on the wrong feet and didn’t realize something was wrong until he ran all the way to the village headquarters.

The group entered Su Shaoda’s office, and Nan Guofu called back under the expectant gazes of Su Shaoda and He Yingjie.

“Hello? Is this Xiaowan?”

“Yeah, Dad, how is home lately?”

Nan Guofu blinked his eyes when he heard this, and glanced at Su Shaoda and He Yingjie who were standing in front of him, forcing a smile.

“Not bad. Where’s your guy? I see flares hanging in the sky. Will Songzi be back soon?”

“Yeah!” Nan Chunwan’s voice on the other end of the phone became obviously more emotional, “Dad, it just so happens that a group of people are coming back from the north today.

They brought back a big claw, a living Sumao man, and several Sumao man corpses. In addition, Zheng Xiaojian was also found! “

It wasn’t just Nan Guofu. When the people around heard this, the expressions on their faces became more and more interesting.

He Yingjie quickly nudged Su Shaoda who was standing beside him with his elbow.
“Old Su, Xiao Dai is really hitting the tiger! Doesn’t this thing need to be approved?”

Su Shao opened his mouth wide and turned his eyes to He Yingjie, “Could it be that Xiao Dai Pao had already anticipated that there would be a tiger on the road and had informed his superiors in advance?”

“That’s impossible. The approval process for anti-corruption is very complicated. How can you apply in advance? I guess they encountered it suddenly and had no other options, so they let the big claws hit them down.”

When the two village leaders said this, the joy on the faces of the Nan family froze, and Nan Xiaze’s face also sank. He hurriedly leaned over to the microphone and shouted,

“Chun Wan, what’s with that big claw? If you want to hunt tigers, you need to get approval in advance! Will my brother-in-law get into trouble now?”

“No~” Nan Chunwan’s voice was soft and slightly proud, “Brother Song and the others caught a living big claw.”

“Alive!” Nan Guofu almost lost his grip on the receiver.

The people around were staring in amazement, unable to believe their ears for a moment.

Only the little fat boy Nan couldn’t help it. He had been frowning since he heard about beating the tiger and was thinking hard in his head. But when his grandfather shouted at him, his eyes suddenly lit up and he punched and kicked “Hehehaha” and kept shouting about Wu Song beating the tiger. Then, because of his loud noise, others could not hear what Nan Chunwan said on the microphone, so he got two slaps on the buttocks by Wu Qiuyun.

The fat boy didn’t feel wronged after being beaten. He ran back happily. He put his hands to his ears and stretched his neck to listen to his aunt’s voice in the microphone.

“…That Su Mao guy was the one who set fire to our mountain.

I heard from our village chief that all his accomplices were burned to death in that forest fire.

This time they gathered a few people and came again.

It happened that they met Brother Song and his men when they were hunting a tiger. They came up to cause trouble, so Brother Song caught them and only one was left alive.

And Zheng Xiaojian was also found. I heard from the team members that Zheng Xiaojian was around my brother Song’s camp at the time and was torn to pieces by Big Claw when he escaped.

If Big Claw hadn’t met him, it’s unclear what evil plan this guy had…”

When Su Shaoda heard this, he couldn’t help but glance at He Yingjie beside him, and He Yingjie also glanced at him.

Although the two did not speak, their eyes had communicated;

Listen! They met him on the road and killed him without hesitation! If it were our militia, would they be able to do it?
He Yingjie avoided her gaze, his face full of helplessness.

Seeing the other party like this, Su Shaoda felt relieved.

Since you can’t compare with him, then you should try your best to curry favor with him. His father-in-law lives in the village under his rule. If he takes more care of Nan Guofu’s family, it would be just like selling Dai Song!
Nan Chunwan did not mention Xiao Erhan because she had heard the voices of Su Shaoda and others on the other end of the phone earlier.

My parents, brother and sister-in-law didn’t know the specific situation of Xiao Erhan before, so when it was suddenly mentioned, they had to start from the beginning.

Many details here may fall into the ears of outsiders, so let’s wait until Brother Song comes back and the whole family goes to the town to have a welcoming banquet before we talk about it.

When Nan Guofu heard that the leaders would arrange a welcoming banquet in the town, he immediately praised it. After exchanging a few more words with his daughter, he hung up the phone reluctantly. After saying goodbye to Su Shaoda and He Yingjie, the family slowly returned home.

Compared with their previous hustle and bustle, the Nan family can now be said to be strolling leisurely, enjoying every step on the way home from the village.

Every time they passed a house, the villagers who were watching the flares in the yard would greet the Nan family enthusiastically. Even if the Nan family was simple and unpretentious, they couldn’t help but want to prolong the process when they were praised so much by the villagers.

I finally made it home.

The Nan family swept away the gloom that Nan Qiumei had brought to them, and everyone sat on the kang with rosy faces.

“My brother-in-law is too awesome!” Nan Xia Ze slapped his thigh, his eyes full of pride, “Dad, I was originally thinking about finding a reason to have a meal with those who cooperated with our orchard!

That’s great now. I’m going to the town to attend the welcoming banquet and will definitely meet a lot of important leaders!

And my brother-in-law is here, so with a little help from us, our dinner party will be a success!”

Nan Guofu’s eyes lit up and he nodded, “Xia Ze, this matter can’t be said to be a bother to Songzi, but it is definitely because of his face and his influence. I have prejudices against Songzi in the past and have never helped him. From now on, I must be more dedicated to him and your little sister~”

“Of course, Dad!” Nan Xia Ze tapped the table with his fingers. “I’ve made plans. I’ll contact my designers in the next two days and tell them to stop running around. I’ll take them directly to Tuanjietun after we go to the town for the welcoming banquet. The house won’t be built until spring, but the blueprints can be drawn first!”

“Well, this is fine.” Nan Guofu nodded.

Nan Xiaze grinned, “When the time comes, my brother-in-law’s house will be up to me! I’ve arranged everything for him!”

“Xia Ze, when the time comes for you to build the house, don’t ask your sister and your brother-in-law for the money~” Yan Pandi added.

“Of course! How can I take money from my brother-in-law? I’ll pay for it all!”
