Just like that, with a series of unexpectedly smooth progress, Mr. Xu and Mrs. Zhao completed the marriage procedures and started a new chapter in their lives.

It seemed as if Yang Ming had been waiting in the factory for a long time, as if he had already foreseen Xu Damao's arrival.

He quickly picked up his pen and completed a letter of introduction. Then, he gently touched Xu Damao's shoulder, with a kind smile on his face: "Damo, we are neighbors. After getting the marriage certificate, why not set up a few tables in the yard to let the neighbors share this joy, and give out some wedding candies to make everyone happy."

At this moment, Xu Damao's hatred for Yang Ming surged like a tide, and his heart was filled with confusion and puzzlement.

He always felt that this matter was too strange, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. Why did he meet Yang Ming by coincidence when he went to the countryside to show movies, and why was he cleverly designed by the other party to marry the widow?

Carrying the newly obtained marriage certificate and with Widow Zhao and her children following closely behind him, Xu Damao returned to the courtyard with a depressed look on his face.

However, for Yang Ming, the marriage between Widow Zhao and Xu Damao was just a small episode in his life.

Back at the steel mill, Yang Ming found Director Yang and proposed a new idea that needed support.

"Director, I have a new design concept and hope to get your support." Director Yang has always trusted Yang Ming. Especially in the context of the supercar project receiving strong support from the Ministry of Metallurgy, he hopes that Yang Ming can bring more innovations and breakthroughs.

But when Yang Ming unfolded the drawing, Director Yang couldn't help but frowned: "What kind of equipment is this?" Yang Ming explained in detail: "This is a water pump designed for agriculture. Although the power is not large, it is enough to meet the daily agricultural irrigation needs, and it is very simple to use."

In special periods such as disaster years, traditional irrigation methods have become inadequate, resulting in a significant reduction in grain production.

Although the water pump designed by Yang Ming cannot directly solve the problem of drought, it has significant advantages in agricultural irrigation.

After listening to Yang Ming's explanation, Director Yang's eyes flickered: "Is it really as you said, that it can save water and improve irrigation efficiency?" Yang Ming nodded firmly. He believed that this design would have a positive impact on agricultural production.

Director Yang also realized this and immediately decided to fully support Yang Ming's water pump project.

At this critical turning point, to some extent, it can indeed bring some relief to the current agricultural water shortage situation.

"Mr. Factory Director,"

"If you still have doubts about this,"

"With the help of Director Bi, we can get in touch with the Ministry of Agriculture and invite them to conduct a field visit. In this way, all questions will be answered."

For Yang Ming, it is not difficult to design and manufacture an efficient water pump. However, what really makes him unable to let go is the deep trauma that the three-year disaster brought to this land and people. He knows that personal power is ultimately limited, and what can be changed is only the tip of the iceberg.

But even so, he is willing to do his best, even if it is just a small contribution, it can bring him a little peace of mind.

“This is so wonderful!”

Yang Ming's firm attitude instantly dispelled Director Yang's doubts, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"I will contact Director Bi immediately!"

Time is running out and this matter should not be delayed, otherwise all efforts will be wasted.

At the same time, in the courtyard.

Xu Damao seemed very depressed and took Widow Zhao and her young daughter back to the courtyard.

"Hey, Damao, what's going on?"

Seeing Xu Damao's appearance, Yan Bugui couldn't help but ask curiously.

He didn't expect that Xu Damao would bring back a woman and a child when he went to the countryside to show movies. Could it be that...

Is this Xu Damao's illegitimate daughter?

But this thought flashed through Yan Bugui's mind and was quickly rejected by him.

After all, although Xu Damao had some contact with some widows when he went to the countryside, it was unlikely that he would cause such a big fuss, and it was even more impossible for him to bring people back so blatantly.

It seems that there is only one possibility - Xu Damao encountered some trouble and was harassed by this widow, so he had to bring her back to the yard.

Sure enough, Xu Damao cleared his throat and explained:

"Uncle, this is my new wife, Zhao Guihua. We just completed the registration procedures today."

"Congratulations, Damao."

"You've got a wife and a daughter, it's really enviable."

"Unlike my son Jie Cheng, who doesn't even have a partner and hasn't found a stable job yet."

Amid Yan Bugui's compliments, Xu Damao distributed some wedding candies to everyone.

Then he took Zhao Guihua and her daughter into the courtyard.

Many people were surprised by Xu Damao's sudden marriage, and some even took it as a wait-and-see attitude.

But on the surface, no one dared to express dissatisfaction or opposition directly.

Instead, like Yan Bugui, many people congratulated Xu Damao and waited for his wedding candy.

At this moment, Jia Zhang also squeezed out from the crowd and came over with a curious look on her face.

Where are the wedding candies that were originally intended to be distributed to everyone? As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly snatched the bag of sweetness that had not yet been distributed from Xu Damao's hand, turned around and fled in a hurry with the bag.

This sudden action made Xu Damao stunned for a moment. He had never foreseen such a situation. However, Zhao Guihua next to him was a person who should not be underestimated.

As a widow, she has her own tenacity and fierceness in this village. Although she behaves gently in front of Xu Damao, she is a strong woman in front of outsiders.

Since marrying Xu Damao, Zhao Guihua naturally regarded his property as her own.

When she saw that Jia Zhang dared to snatch her wedding candy, she immediately chased after her, grabbed her hair, and threw her heavily to the ground, leaving her lying there with her legs spread out.

"Oh, it hurts so much!" Jia Zhang was shocked to find that this new daughter-in-law dared to hit her. At this moment, she felt a sharp pain and kept cursing.

Dear neighbors, please judge for yourself! She shouted loudly, this woman is not a good person at first glance, how dare she bully an old man like me! Whose daughter-in-law started fighting in the yard as soon as she entered the house, and she brought a child with her. This kind of unruly woman is obviously not a decent person at first glance!

Jia Zhang's words completely angered Zhao Guihua.

Although her relationship with Xu Damao is a little bit subtle, it is because of Xu Damao's sweet words and generosity. She chose to be with him not only for survival but also for finding someone to rely on.
