Chapter 588
Unparalleled Happiness
The Mid-Autumn Festival, a night of full moon.
It was originally a day of universal celebration and family reunion.
But I sat in my own yard, lost in thought.
Zhao Jianshan and Grandpa Zhao have just been buried, and the villagers who were buried with Grandpa Zhao are still having a meal in the village committee courtyard.
I went home and stayed with my parents in the yard, looking at the round moon in the sky.
Zhao Jianshan's death shocked me greatly.
The elderly in rural areas are a scar on society; even the slightest movement causes pain.
My parents carried the octagonal table into the yard, and set it with my favorite dishes. My dad also brought out a bottle of Wuliangye liquor.
"Son, don't overthink things. Living your own life is more important than anything else," my mom said, sitting next to me. She knew what I was thinking and comforted me.
"Mom, why did Grandpa Zhao commit suicide?"
My mother sighed softly: "The biggest reason is that the children are unfilial. When Zhao Jianshan was young, his wife was in poor health. He took care of his sick wife by himself and raised five children. But I never expected that they would all be such ungrateful wretches."
As my dad opened a bottle of wine, he said, "When people get old, they don't really have many material desires. They just hope to have a house full of children and grandchildren, and to be happy around them. It's just a pity that he had five children. If he hadn't drunk pesticide, none of them would have come back. But what happened today is really too much."
I'm not capable of judging human nature, but I decided to do something for the elderly in the village. So I said to my dad, "Dad, I have an idea. I've discussed it with Chen Hai, and I want to contract all the land in our village and then grow specialty crops. We can then carry out secondary and tertiary processing of the agricultural products."
My dad lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then exhaled.
"Son, things aren't as simple as you think. Farmers have always been at the bottom of society. The main problem is that agricultural products are practically worthless. Peanuts yield four or five hundred catties per mu, at most six hundred catties, and sell for three yuan per catty, which is 1,800 yuan. After deducting the cost of seeds, fertilizer, and machinery, you can't even earn five hundred yuan per mu."
I know what my dad said is true, but I have no choice but to do it.
That night, my dad and I drank a lot of alcohol. The next morning, I entrusted Su Xiaoya to my parents and then headed straight to Qingdao.
The morning in mid-autumn was still quite hot. When I appeared in front of Meng Xintong, she was stunned, then overjoyed.
He dragged me into the room, regardless of whether I wanted to or not, pressed me against the wall, kissed me first, then pulled me onto the bed and had sex with me.
After it was all over, the woman, naked, hugged me and said with a smile, "So, tell me, what's the meaning behind this sudden surprise?"
I said with a wry smile, "Sister, I've come to discuss something with you."
"explain."
"I'm thinking of using some money from our Chen Dong Foundation Association to lease all the land in our village and then set up several agricultural product processing companies. We'll pay back the principal after we make some money." I briefly explained my idea.
Meng Xintong pressed her soft body tightly against mine, looking at me with tenderness: "Little brother, no wonder I like you so much. You are a great talent and a person with great love. The foundation association is for charity, and besides, you can make a profit by using it for business. This couldn't be better."
However, in my experience, the profits from the secondary development and deep processing of agricultural products are not very high.
In this internet age, even if you roast peanuts, they're still peanuts; and even if you turn sweet potatoes into vermicelli, the price won't increase much.
What she said made a lot of sense, but I really wanted to help the elderly people in our village.
Meng Xintong continued, "Little brother, give your sister a special service, and I'll show you the way."
Looking at her charming expression, I said with a wry smile, "Sis, didn't we just ask for special service? Why do you want more? Your brother isn't made of iron."
Meng Xintong smiled shyly, tapping lightly on my chest with her fingers: "I want special services, don't you understand? Do you even know what special services are?"
As she spoke, she reached out and pressed her finger against my lips.
Seeing the desire in her eyes, I immediately understood.
"Sis, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"What's wrong with it? People expect special treatment, but you're not coming, are you?"
Seeing this, I had no choice but to turn around and gently support her legs.
This woman is unusual.
More than an hour later, Meng Xintong's eyes were no longer strong enough to look at me, and her cheeks and neck were covered with fine beads of sweat.
Seeing that she was too lazy to move, I said, panting, "Sister, didn't you say you were going to show me the way? Tell me, how can we make the elderly in our village live a happy life?"
Meng Xintong weakly hugged my neck and said in a soft voice, "Didn't you want to contract all the land in your village? You can contract it, but don't do secondary processing of agricultural products, because in our Shandong region, the main products are peanuts and sweet potatoes."
Even small workshops produce vermicelli, peanut butter, and peanut oil, so don't do those things.
Two years ago, I went to the south and participated in an industry project. They were using indoor hydroponics technology to grow flowers, even Chinese medicinal herbs, and some high-end fruits. The added value was incredibly high.
Hearing her say that, I suddenly became excited.
"I've already given you special treatment. Why don't you take me there tomorrow? I'll go and take a look. If it's possible, I'll establish a hydroponics-based specialty planting facility in our village."
Meng Xintong still hugged my neck, looking troubled, and said, "Little brother, it's not that I don't want to accompany you. It's just that I've been really busy these past two days. Although I'm the president of the Chen Dong Foundation Association, I'm also a lawyer. My case goes to trial tomorrow, and I have to handle all the matters related to this case the day after tomorrow and the day after that. So I can't accompany you for these three days."
How about you wait three days, and I go with you then?
I'm the kind of person who's always in a hurry. Once I've made up my mind, I want to get it done right away. So I said, "How about I go myself? You contact them. I'll go and investigate myself."
Meng Xintong hugged me tenderly: "Little brother, I really want to go with you. Going to the South with you would feel like a honeymoon."
But I really can't be with you.
I kissed her on the cheek: "Sis, I can go by myself, you don't need to come with me."
"Okay, I'll make a call over there and ask them to receive you. See if you can bring in some highly skilled talent from there."
Meng Xintong, naked, grabbed her phone and sat on the edge of the bed to make a call. After a few words, she tossed the phone aside and looked at me happily: "Little brother, take a plane directly to the south tomorrow morning. They have someone waiting for you at the airport."
After hearing Meng Xintong's words, I finally felt a glimmer of hope.
For the sake of the elderly in our village, I must change myself and build some decent industries for the village.
At the same time, an idea was forming in my mind.
I used to think I wasn't cut out for the dry industry, but now I feel I have to make money because with money I can do more things that benefit ordinary people. Money can solve poverty and allow people to live a better life.
That day, Meng Xintong did nothing but stay home with me.
Whether in bed or on the sofa, this woman was incredibly tender and lovely, filling me with unparalleled happiness.
