Let's go back to 2008, starting with a recreational fishing park.

Indeed, it would be more appropriate for Wang Xiuqin to call Wang Guifen "elder sister".

Since Wang Guifen just turned 50 this year, and Wang Xiuqin is 37, calling them "auntie" would be too old.

After exchanging pleasantries, Wang Guifen, upon learning that Wang Xiuqin also shared the surname Wang, excitedly exclaimed, "Oh my, sister, we're even from the same clan!"

Wang Xiuqin, holding Wang Guifen's hand, said:

"Yes, sister, we're really destined to meet!"

"Come on, come on, sister, brother-in-law, let's not stand outside anymore, let's go inside and have some tea."

With that, Wang Guifen took Wang Xiuqin's hand and walked towards the office.

Once everyone was seated in the office, Su Qing had already brewed a pot of tea and served it.

Soon, Jiang Jianguo, who had been busy at the fishing spot after returning from town, also noticed his son's return and quickly came to his office from the fishing area.

Upon meeting Jiang Jianguo, Jiang Xia introduced the group to each other.

After the introductions were finished, Jiang Xia asked Jiang Jianguo to entertain them inside while he went out of his office and dialed Jiang Xiaobo's number.

"Brother Wei? You're back?"

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobo's voice, Jiang Xia instructed him, "Yes, tell your dad that I have guests coming over for lunch, and ask him to come over for lunch."

After hanging up with Jiang Xiaobo, Jiang Xia returned to her office.

At this moment, Zhao Dahai and his wife were having a very pleasant conversation with Jiang Jianguo and his wife, and all sorts of everyday topics came up one after another.

This is actually normal. Although Jiang Jianguo and his wife are more than ten years older than Zhao Dahai and his wife, compared to the age difference with Jiang Xia, they obviously have more in common.

Jiang Xia felt she couldn't get a word in edgewise when it came to topics like educating children and sending them to school.

After chatting for a while, Wang Guifen made an excuse to leave the office.

As she was at the door, she gave Su Qing, who was sitting to the side serving tea and water, a wink.

Soon after, Wang Guifen and Su Qing met in the kitchen.

"Qingqing, what kind of cooperation did Xiaxia reach with the two bosses in the room?" Wang Guifen asked softly, sitting on a stool.

When her son brought guests back, Wang Guifen knew that her son's trip must have been successful, but she still wanted to know the specifics as soon as possible so she would have a better understanding of the situation.

Su Qing didn't hide anything and quickly told Wang Guifen about the general process of her trip to Linjiang.

When she mentioned the fishing rod costing 30,000 yuan, the cash costing 10,000 yuan, and the final profit split of 50/50, Wang Guifen could hardly believe her ears.

So those two people in the house weren't guests, but rather the gods of wealth that the son had invited back! No wonder the son was so careful in entertaining them.

Having learned the general idea, Wang Guifen hurriedly ran back to her office, thinking that she shouldn't let anyone feel neglected.

…………

While everyone was drinking tea, Uncle Jiang Jianjun also arrived.

He was dressed quite formally today. When Jiang Xiaobo told him that Jiang Xia had invited him to lunch and that there would be other guests, he knew he was there to keep the guests company.

In Shandong Province, when important guests come to a home, the host will usually invite someone close to the family or someone with a high alcohol tolerance to drink with the guests.

After learning that Jiang Jianjun was the village party secretary of Qingshan Village, Jiang Xia's status in Zhao Dahai and his wife's hearts suddenly became even more important.

This has nothing to do with profit; it's simply because of respect.

The cooperation was just finalized, and they're coming to visit. Jiang Xia should treat them well; that couple will definitely be very happy.

When Jiang Xia came to visit, he invited his second uncle, who was the village party secretary, to come and drink with him, which was a great honor for him.

Zhao Dahai and his wife were well aware of their own strength. Facing the people from Jiangxia, they did not put on airs and were even more polite than them.

In this way, the conversation among the group naturally became very pleasant.

About ten minutes later, Sun Fuxing, the owner of Fuyuan Restaurant, also arrived in his van.

As soon as the bread cart came to a stop, Sun Fuxing was about to serve the dishes when Jiang Xia waved his hand and said, "Uncle Sun, wait a minute, we're not eating inside. Let me bring the table out in a bit."

Upon hearing this, Sun Fuxing laughed and joked, "Which big boss have you invited this time? Why aren't you eating inside?"

Jiang Xia replied with a smile, "The bosses in the city are here today. There are too many people, and the room is too crowded to accommodate everyone."

Jiang Xia went to the kitchen to wipe the dining table, pointed to a large weeping willow by the reservoir, and called out to Sun Fuxing:

"Come on, Uncle, help me carry this table to the willow tree."

Sun Fuxing, with his big pregnant belly, happily ran over to help Jiang Xia carry the table to the location he had indicated.

"You're really making a name for yourself, aren't you!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xia quickly offered Sun Fuxing a cigarette, saying, "Hey, Uncle Sun, what are you saying? My little business is nothing compared to yours, a big boss."

Jiang Xia is right. Don't underestimate Sun Fuxing just because he runs a restaurant in a small town. His annual profit is probably several tens of thousands.

"Hahaha, how old are you, kid? When I was your age, I was still chopping and washing vegetables for the chefs in a restaurant!" Sun Fu'an took the cigarette from Jiang Xia and laughed.

While they were talking, the two of them didn't stop working. Instead, they carried the vegetables from the bread cart to the table one by one.

Before long, the octagonal table was filled with all kinds of delicious food.

Jiang Xia said directly to Sun Fuxing, "Uncle Sun, how much is this table? I'll pay you right away."

Sun Fuxing waved his hand, "No rush, you entertain the guests first, you can pay me when I come to get the plates."

With that, Sun Fuxing got into his bread cart.

Jiang Xia nodded: "Okay, drive carefully on the road!"

"Alright!"

Sun Fuxing drove away, and Jiang Xia hurriedly went into the office to start inviting everyone to dinner.

When Zhao Dahai and his wife came out, the first thing they saw was the dining table under the willow tree.

A gentle breeze swept by, and the willow branches swayed softly in the breeze. From the distant green hills came the chirping of birds.

Having grown accustomed to living in the city, the Zhao couple suddenly felt a sense of peace and tranquility upon seeing this scene.

"Honey, why don't we stay here for a few more days? I want to enjoy myself here."

Wang Xiuqin suddenly took Zhao Dahai's hand and asked.

"Okay." The atmosphere was right, and Zhao Dahai also squeezed Wang Xiuqin's hand.

At this moment, Jiang Xia stood quietly to the side, looking embarrassed. She hadn't even eaten yet and she was already being fed so much dog food. Wasn't it a waste that Jiang Jianguo had ordered such a big table of food?

He coughed and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, let's go eat first and try the local specialties of Mengshan County."

Upon hearing this, the couple instantly came to their senses.

They've been married for a long time, and they both looked perfectly normal, without any embarrassment.

Wang Xiuqin smiled and nodded, "Sure, to be honest, I've never actually tried any of the local specialties from Mengshan before. I've heard your mushrooms are quite delicious?"

Jiang Jianjun, who was standing nearby, introduced to the two of them, "That's right, we like to eat stewed chicken with matsutake mushrooms here. You must try it today."

Jiang Jianguo added, "You can only taste the most authentic version of this when you come to Mengshan. Nowadays, most of it is farmed, and the taste is far inferior to the wild ones from our mountains."
