"He's smart and loves reading. He learned everything from books." Huo De explained Xiangnan's situation.

Old Master Huo choked, "You think I'm old and easy to fool? No matter how much I read in books, it's just theory. If you can design a house like this by reading books, then what's the point of seeing the world?"

"Grandpa, to tell you the truth, Xiangnan does know how to do it. As for how she knows it, she said she learned it from a book, so she learned it from reading a book. The rest is irrelevant."

Old Master Huo glared at him and said, "Just spoil her. If you don't find out the details, what if it's bad for the Huo family..."

"She won't harm the Huo family. Grandpa, you should know what I do for a living. If she is some criminal, I have the ability to tell."

"Alright, alright. You can't say a single bad word about her. What are you going to do now? Are you really going to stay in the countryside?"

"I want to follow me south with the army, but I have to change places so she can do what she wants to do."

"Where do you want to change to? I asked you to change to Jinghai before, but you didn't want to."

"Jinghai has my father and others, as well as so many other members of the Huo family. They don't need me at all. Xiangnan can't develop in Jinghai and will be bound by them. I don't plan to go back to Jinghai.

She really wants to go to Guangzhou. I'm wondering if she can apply for a transfer there, as it's a good place for her to develop.

"Yangcheng is pretty good, especially Shenzhen. The country is vigorously developing it right now. Since she has the guts to challenge me, I'll give her a factory. There's a small electrical appliance factory there that makes fans, and it's doing pretty well. Let's see how she can improve that."

“Grandpa, don’t worry, Xiangnan will not let you down. Besides, it’s just a small factory if it really loses money.”

Mr. Huo patted him on the back and said, "It's easy for you to say that. No matter how big the factory is, it's the Huo family's property. We can't just mess with it. If she loses money, she can get out of the Huo family."

"Okay, I'll go with her." Hood said with his overly handsome face.

"You have great confidence in her, so why are you trying to find a way out for her now?"

"I believe it, but I don't want to put any pressure on her."

"Just protect her, just protect her!" Old Master Huo sighed, "Thinking back then, I did the same to your grandmother. Never mind, it's up to you. Our Huo family can afford the loss."

Old Master Huo felt indebted to his grandson. He had been missing for more than ten years before he was found. He had suffered a lot and even had no money to go to school and had to join the army. Fortunately, he was capable and did not bring shame to the Huo family.

From the Huo family's perspective, he certainly wanted Huo De to marry a daughter from a prominent family so that he could gain a foothold in the Jinghai circle. However, he had his own ideas, and as a grandfather, he had no way of really breaking him up.

Besides, it seems that Xiangnan does have some ability. In fact, Uncle Huo told him about Xiangnan when he returned. He was anxious to see his grandson's wife, and saying that he wanted to break them up was just a test.

As long as his grandson likes it, he will not do anything bad. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.

He donated most of his property to the country because he thought his descendants would have their own blessings and could earn money themselves if they needed it.

Mr. Huo is open-minded about this.

In the evening, after eating delicious food, Mr. Huo was even more satisfied with Xiangnan. He was not just bragging, he really could do it.

With so many people coming at once, Xiangnan arranged their accommodation, food and drinks in an orderly manner.

Fortunately, she built many rooms when she built the workshop. The eight guards slept in two rooms, the driver slept in one room, and the old secretary slept in one room. The old man slept next to Xiangnan and the others.

The old man was a little particular about his bed as he was getting older, so Xiangnan placed homemade incense at the head of his bed. The old man slept soundly all night and even practiced Tai Chi when he woke up in the morning.

Xiangnan also got up early and was dyeing cloth. The old man came a long way to see her, saying that he wanted to break her up. In fact, she could feel that this was not his real purpose.

She came all the way here to see her granddaughter-in-law, so she had to prepare some gifts for the old man.

She planned to dye the cloth herself and make some clothes for him. The old man liked Tang suits at first sight, so she could design a few sets.

"Grandpa, how did you sleep last night?" Xiangnan asked him with a smile while stirring the water in the water tank with a cloth.

The old man walked over with his hands behind his back and took a look: "What are you doing here?"

"Dye the cloth. Grandpa, please see if you like the color you get."

"You can also dye cloth?" The old man was a little surprised.

"I'm not bragging, I really do know a lot of things, but I'm a bit lazy and don't want to do many things."

If she wanted to make more money, she could do a lot of things, but she felt too tired.

"I heard that you made all those bean curd sheets and cakes?"

"Yes, I'm also good at cooking. Just tell me what you want to eat, grandpa."

"I haven't eaten clay pot porridge for a long time. It would taste better if some shrimps could be put in it." said the old man.

"Okay, I'll make breakfast for you later. I'll ask them to catch shrimps and clams. You can go for a stroll if you have nothing to do. There's a big tree at the entrance of the village over there where the villagers like to gather every day.

You can hear a lot of things, but there are my enemies in the village who might say bad things about me, so you can go and listen."

Xiangnan covered the tank, turned on the tap, washed his hands, and turned back to shout inside: "Huo Yun, go find some lobsters and clams."

Huo Yun bit a piece of cake, took a bamboo basket and went out.

Huo De came back from morning exercise, sweating all over, and his strong body showed the strong power of a soldier.

He came out of the shower and said to Mr. Huo while drying his hair, "Grandpa, good morning. How did you sleep?"

"I slept well."

"Where's the old secretary?"

"Master, I slept very well too. The countryside is quiet and it's very good for sleeping."

"Most of them have gone to the fields to harvest. We can't eat until they come back. Grandpa, if you're hungry, you can eat cake first. Xiangnan's cakes are very popular in this area. Everyone likes them."

Old Master Huo looked at his useless appearance and said, "I don't want to eat cake. Xiangnan went to make casserole porridge for me. I haven't eaten authentic casserole porridge for a long time.

This place doesn't seem too far from Guangzhou. Why don't I go to Guangzhou and take Xiangnan to see the factory."

Huo De said, "If you want to go, you have to rest for two days first. Once Xiangnan arranges the work here, you can leave. I still have a few days of vacation."

Old Master Huo is in good health, but he must be tired after sitting in the car for such a long time. He just got to An County from Jinghai yesterday, so he must rest for two days. I will take him for a walk in An County.

Mr. Huo walked forward with his hands behind his back: "Xiangnan said there was something listening under the big tree at the entrance of the village, I'm going to take a look."

Huo De felt helpless. What was the point of telling these to his grandfather? What they were talking about under the big tree were all family matters, maybe they were discussing their family affairs.

The old man's motorcade drove in and the villagers followed, but because of the few guards, no one dared to get close.
