Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

Minister Zhang and Xu Maoting looked at each other and smiled, pretending not to hear the conversation between Xu Wanning and Xu Wanning, and continued to discuss with their heads down.

Minister Zhang's assistant held two record books in his hand and recorded in them.

Dajiang Village covers a vast area, but the population is not dense, so most of it is open space.

"Director Zhang, Deputy Director Xu, I think this area is very good." Director Sun pointed to a flat open space with his chubby finger and said seriously: "Although it is only a branch of our food factory, the area cannot be too small. , this area is fairly flat, and the location is pretty good, what do you think?"

Minister Zhang looked around and said slowly: "Let's take a look again."

Even after a few people walked around Dajiang Village, no definite answer was given.

The captain, the village chief, and other village cadres all had their hearts in their throats. This feeling of not being able to go up or down was really uncomfortable.

But Xu Wanning had clearly refused just now and would not participate in this matter, and it was not easy for them to ask in person.

"This first round of inspections is over, so let's leave it at that for today. Wan Ning, is it convenient for you to invite us to your home?"

"of course."

Director Sun also followed closely. After walking two steps, Xu Maoting noticed it, turned around, frowned and asked: "Why are you following us?"

"Aren't you going to sit at Xu Zhiqing's house?" Director Sun smiled flatteringly.

Xu Maoting glanced at him, "What does it have to do with you?"

"Ah this..."

"Let's go." When he turned to look at Xu Wanning, Xu Maoting's face was filled with a soft smile.

Director Sun's smile froze for a moment, but he did not dare to get angry and could only stand there and sigh.

After Xu Wanning and the others walked some distance away, the team leader said: "Director Sun, why don't you come and sit down at our team headquarters?"

"Alright."

On the way back, seeing the sad faces of the team leaders and hesitating to speak, Director Sun smiled and said, "I think your Dajiang Village is good and suitable for building a branch factory."

The captain looked happy and asked impatiently: "What Director Sun means..."

Director Sun waved his hand: "I didn't say anything! The key is that building a branch factory is not under my control!"

On the other side, Xu Wanning has brought Xu Maoting and Minister Zhang to the Lin family.

In the yard, Da Chun'er and Yaomei were chopping chicken food and the other was feeding the chickens. They worked in perfect harmony with each other.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yaomei immediately put down the chicken bowl in her hand and rushed towards Xu Wanning, "Mom, you are back!"

Xu Wanning bent down, picked up Yaomei and held her in her arms, "Are you good today, Yaomei?"

"Be good!" Yaomei nodded vigorously, then flexed her fingers and counted what she had done today: "After breakfast in the morning, I helped grandma clean the kitchen, then completed the homework assigned by mom, and helped grandma cook the food. Hot water, and fed pigs and chickens..."

"My brother is also great. He draws the hot water I boil from the well."

"Brother and Yaomei are both mother's good babies."

Dachun chopped up the last bit of chicken grass, then stood aside obediently, carefully looking at the two complete strangers.

Xu Maoting's eyes wandered over Yaomei in Dachun and Xu Wanning's arms, and his mood was a little complicated.

These two children were born to the younger sister, right?

The last time he saw a photo of the two children was a few years ago, when Yaomei was still a Yueliya baby in his arms and Dachun had just learned to walk.

But later, for some unknown reason, the younger sister never sent back any photos of her children. Even in her usual letters, there were only a few words about the children.

That photo was placed in a photo frame by my uncle and aunt, who would take it out and look at it in their spare time or when they miss their little sister to express their longing for each other.

He was also the first in his family to see the two children, and this alone was enough to brag about to the other brothers when he went back.

Xu Maoting knelt down and looked at Dachun with soft eyes, "If possible, I hope you can call me uncle."

"Uncle?" Dachun tilted his head and looked at the strange man in front of him who was very similar to his mother, his eyes full of confusion.

The last time he heard this title was when his aunt's children called him daddy.

So, they also have an uncle?

Mother Lin heard the movement in the house and slowly came out dragging an injured leg.

"A visitor at home?"

"Let me introduce, this is my mother-in-law, Huang Shufen. This is Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Health of China, who is also an uncle of mine. This is my second brother, Xu Maoting."

"Hello, Auntie." Xu Maoting stretched out her right hand in front of Mother Lin, with an unmistakable smile on her handsome face, "I am Aning's second brother. This time I came to Dajiang Village for work reasons, so I specially came to Dajiang Village for work reasons. Come visit and visit you.”

Mother Lin wiped her hand on the hem of her clothes first, then took Xu Maoting's hand and said, "Welcome, welcome, come and sit at home."

After inviting Minister Zhang and Xu Maoting into the house, Mother Lin did not forget to tell Xu Wanning: "Let's prepare some chicken and duck for dinner for your uncle and second brother later."

"Sister-in-law, there's no need to go to such trouble. We just had dinner at the brigade headquarters. Now we're here just to see Wan Ning and chat with her."

"No trouble, no trouble, the chickens and ducks are raised at home, and they are delicious! An Ning, you chat with your uncle and second brother first, while I go to the kitchen."

"Sister-in-law..."

Minister Zhang hurriedly stopped him, but was blocked by Xu Wanning.

"Uncle Zhang, my mother-in-law is expressing her welcome to you and my second brother in this way. You are welcome."

"This……"

"This is my home. Isn't it right for you to come to this junior's home and have a simple meal? This has nothing to do with style."

Hearing this, Minister Zhang didn't know what to say.

He pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile, "We haven't seen each other for a few years, but Wan Ning has become quite different from before."

Xu Wanning smiled and said: "I got married in Dajiang Village and have two children. I can't live a few years longer in vain, right?"

"Haha." Minister Zhang laughed, and then sighed: "It would be great if the one at home could be like this!"

Xu Wanning raised her eyebrows. It seemed that Zhang Wenting's situation in Yi Province was not as good as expected.

But looking at Minister Zhang's obvious unwillingness to say more, Xu Wanning knew enough not to ask any more questions.

After a few pleasantries, Xu Wanning asked, "Why did Uncle Zhang and his second brother come to Dajiang Village for inspection?"

It's a long way from Beijing to Heilongjiang, not to mention it's just a small branch of a food factory. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be such a hassle.

Xu Maoting glanced at Minister Zhang and saw that he only pursed his lips slightly, with no other expression, and then said: "Now that the policy has been relaxed, a wave of factory construction will arise across the country."
