Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

night.

Sun Daoren did not stay at Binbin's place, but stayed at Fang Wei's place.

The two Taoist priests who brought him left after lunch and returned directly to the Sanqing Temple.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua originally planned to return to the village after Binbin's clinic opened, but the arrival of Sun Daoren delayed their return.

Of course, it wouldn't be delayed for long. Three days later, Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua left Yangcheng and returned home.

The couple doesn't need to worry about the clinic, especially with Master Sun overseeing it; they believe the clinic will only get better and better.

A few days after returning, Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua received their dividends, just like everyone else. The dividends were calculated based on the land investment that year, and the Fang couple received the same amount as everyone else.

"Third Brother, we need to get ready for the New Year. Binbin and the others are coming back this year, so we need to prepare in advance."

After returning from her trip, Pan Lianhua rested for a few days and then started preparing for the New Year with Fang Wei.

As living standards improve, the quality of people's New Year's Eve dinners is also increasing year by year. In the past, it was considered good to have meat, but now it's not only about having chicken, duck, and fish, but also seafood.

Seafood is now available locally, thanks to logistics companies. Convenient transportation makes the flow of goods easier.

This year's Chinese New Year is earlier than usual, and some production units have already started to give holidays to everyone except for those who stay on duty.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Binbin's clinic officially closed for the holiday and would not reopen until the 8th day of the first lunar month. Liu Xuemei took two days off, and Binbin and his wife, along with his sister and Taoist priest Sun, returned to the village.

The old Taoist priest didn't plan to return to the Sanqing Temple; he intended to spend the New Year with Fang Wei's family.

Fang Ping and Tian Guihua went to the provincial capital. They spent the Spring Festival with their son's family this year, so they couldn't get together.

Xiao Jie didn't get home until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. Now, the whole family is finally together.

"Xiao Jie, why didn't you bring Cheng Xiaoyue back?"

Seeing her daughter enter the door alone, Pan Lianhua looked behind her and was a little disappointed.

Xiaojie and Cheng Xiaoyue have already confirmed their relationship, shouldn't they let their families meet them?

"Xiaoyue will spend the Spring Festival at home first, and I will bring him to see you and Dad during the May Day holiday."

Xiaojie smiled and told them when her boyfriend would be arriving.

Pan Lianhua finally breathed a sigh of relief. What kind of future son-in-law never shows up? It's good that he came.

Xiao Jie went inside, put down her luggage, washed her face, and then quickly went to play with her little nephew. She actually quite liked Xiao Chenchen, but she was usually too busy with work to visit Guangzhou often.

During the Chinese New Year holiday, I'll take the opportunity to pinch Chenchen's little cheeks a few more times; just thinking about it makes me happy.

Sun Daoren also liked Chenchen very much, but he was much more reserved than Xiaojie.

"Master Sun is back? I've come to see him."

Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve, and everyone is very busy.

When the villagers heard that Master Sun had returned, many of them brought small gifts to visit both sides.

The eldest son used to treat many people in the village at the clinic, and everyone respected him. As a result, so many people came that they almost broke down the threshold of Secretary Fang's house.

Fang Wei didn't mind. The fact that Sun Daoren was respected showed that the villagers had a conscience, which was a good thing.

After a busy day, you wake up one morning to find it's New Year's Eve.

No one came to visit today, so Pan Lianhua, Liu Xuemei, and Xiaojie cooked a New Year's Eve dinner together. Everyone ate and drank happily, and the house hadn't been this lively in a long time.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua were both very happy, as was the old Taoist priest.

Sun Daoren was not the kind of person who secluded himself from the world to cultivate himself. He had experienced the world for twenty years and liked the atmosphere of everyday life.

Had a meal.

Fang Wei and Binbin went to the courtyard to set off fireworks. Xiao Chenchen wanted to watch but was also scared. Sun Daoren pulled him out and covered his ears. The little guy got used to the sound in no time.

New Year's Day.

Many people came to wish Master Sun a Happy New Year, and some also came to wish Secretary Fang a Happy New Year.

The next few days were basically spent eating and drinking. That's how it is in the village during the Spring Festival. It's normal to drink from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Perhaps this is also part of the festive atmosphere.

Xiao Jie also went back to work on the eighth day of the first lunar month. She traveled with her brother's family, and Sun Daoren and her sister also returned to Guangzhou in the same car.

"Third Brother, Binbin's clinic isn't doing much business either, it's really worrying."

During the Spring Festival, everyone was happy, and Pan Lianhua didn't want to bring up the matter.

Now that everyone's gone, she gets a headache whenever she thinks about what Binbin said about the clinic.

The clinic isn't getting many patients; business is really bad.

Fortunately, the house was his own, and he didn't hire anyone, so his and Sun Daoren's expenses were actually not much.

"Don't you even know when Binbin's clinic opened? On one hand, it's newly opened and doesn't have a reputation yet. On the other hand, it's close to the Spring Festival, and most people in the urban village have gone home for the holidays, so where are the patients coming from?"

Fang Wei smiled dismissively and then explained a few words to his wife.

It's normal for a newly opened clinic to have slow business without extensive advertising; it would be abnormal for it to be booming. After all, Binbin is relatively young, and Master Sun isn't well-known in Guangzhou, so many patients are hesitant to try him. This requires time to build up a reputation, and good word-of-mouth needs to develop gradually.

"I see. But Binbin seems to be in a good mood. Hopefully, business will pick up after the New Year."

Pan Lianhua understood what the man meant and felt relieved.

the next day.

Following his work plan from before the Lunar New Year, Fang Wei went to Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces for inspection.

This is Yaoling Agriculture's plan to expand beyond the province. Yaoling Logistics had encountered problems in both of these places before. Although the problems were eventually resolved, Fang Wei felt it was necessary to extend its influence further.

He had to take the lead in this matter so that Lin Bingkun and others could then carry out their work.

After all, Fang Wei is the key figure in Yaoling Agriculture and the chairman of Yaoling Group. Only his intervention can gain the attention of the local authorities.

Indeed, his arrival was warmly welcomed by local authorities, and leaders at all levels held special talks with him. They all hoped to introduce Yaoling agriculture to improve the province's agricultural modernization level.

This meeting didn't involve any specific projects; we'll discuss those when Lin Bingkun leads a team to inspect the area later.

Fang Wei's goal is to establish connections with the local area, essentially to gain their trust before getting things done. He plans to establish planting bases in at least two provinces and set up a joint breeding laboratory with the local area.

For Yaoling agriculture, as long as the scale of local cultivated land reaches a certain level, it can guarantee good profits.

In addition to bringing employment opportunities to the local area, it also brings advanced technology and management, especially admirable breeding techniques.

After leaving the two provinces, Fang Wei visited the Jianghuai base to inspect the growth of winter wheat.

In fact, barring major natural disasters, crops grown in the planting area generally have very consistent yields, and can basically reach or approach the upper limit of the yield of the variety.

"Your work is very solid and your management is excellent; you deserve praise."

Fang Wei couldn't find any fault with it, so he gave the base management staff a word of encouragement.

The infrastructure construction of the Jianghuai planting base has been completed, and all supporting facilities are in good condition. It has become a benchmark unit for local agriculture.

Judging from the situation, this year's wheat harvest will be another bumper crop.

After leaving the Jianghuai base, Fang Wei returned directly to the village, planning to visit various places after attending a meeting in Beijing.

morning.

After having breakfast, Fang Wei drove into the mountains and went to the experimental forest.

The saplings in the experimental forest are growing well and will be ready for transplanting in two months, at which time the plan to replace the tree species will begin.

After the Tiannan base is completed, he plans to cultivate some wild medicinal herbs there. Cultivating wild medicinal herbs has a high barrier to entry, but the costs are low and the returns are high, making it a good source of income.

Even if the business expands further, it doesn't matter, he doesn't handle the specifics, it's just that we can't do without him in the early stages.

"President Lin, how is the construction of the Tiannan base progressing?"

After returning to his office from the experimental forest, Fang Wei called Lin Bingkun to inquire about the situation at the Tiannan base.

"The water conservancy facilities have been repaired and completed, and the dormitories and office buildings have also been completed on schedule. All the machinery and equipment we ordered have arrived, and the recruitment of personnel has been completed, so the spring planting work at the Tiannan base will proceed as scheduled."

Hybrid corn breeding and planting work in Tiannan begins with spring sowing.

Lin Bingkun gave a detailed introduction to the progress of each project, which made Fang Wei very satisfied.

"I'll go check on things later, and you should keep an eye on things over there too."

Fang Wei didn't say much; after a few words, the call ended.

He needs to go to the Tiannan base. If he plans the time well, he can fly directly from Chuncheng to Beijing for the meeting.

Get off work in the afternoon.

Fang Wei went to the bamboo ware factory to pick up a plate of lotus flowers, and then went to the county town for dinner.

Pan Lianhua handed over her car to the factory after the holiday due to a job change. It wasn't appropriate for a senior consultant like her to monopolize a car; she should be mindful of that.

When Fang Wei was in Guangzhou last time, he ordered a car for his wife, and she could pick it up next month.

During the meal, Fang Wei explained her plans.

"Lotus, if you're free, come out for a walk with me. You haven't been to Tiannan yet, let's go for a stroll together."

Fang Wei plans to take Pan Lianhua with him to Tiannan, where the climate and natural environment are unique and worth seeing.

“Sure, I don’t need to work in the office anyway. If they have any questions, they can contact me.”

Mobile phones have actually been around for a while, but their penetration rate is still very low.

I heard the county is going to build a base station. If we work on it, we can get one built in Yaoling Township sooner. Only then will mobile phones be more than just decorations; otherwise, they're really useless.

People like Cai Tong and Hu Linwei already have mobile phones, and Fang Wei also has one, but he doesn't use it much for the time being.

But it's still useful when you go to other places. Although roaming fees are expensive, the company won't care about that little bit of cost.

Pan Lianhua doesn't have a cell phone yet, but she calls the factory almost every day. Even a senior consultant can't be completely idle; she still has time to make a phone call. (End of Chapter)
