Stop talking, if you continue, this veteran general who has experienced many battles will not be able to bear it.

Yan Guofeng was so excited at the moment, but he thought of the craftsmen in the village. He was afraid that it would be difficult for them to make patterns. Without patterns and beautiful appearance, they would not be able to sell.

"They don't have the ability." He sighed softly, no matter how good his thoughts were, it was useless.

Zhong Yuxiu said helplessly: "We can draw up some patterns and let them do it; when they are done, we will sell them. It is just a channel after all. We collect them and sell them, which is also a business." They don't have to run around. They can collect them at a fixed price and sell them at the counter where they can earn foreign exchange. It is a mutually beneficial thing. Of course, if they want to make more money, they can just sell them themselves.

She didn't need this little money, she just wanted to provide more income for the villagers.

It is also to prevent some traditional things from being lost.

Think about the bamboo and rattan products sold on Taobao in later generations. The prices were not low and there were not many varieties. These products were almost lost, but then a retro trend blew them up again.

"That's fine." Yan Guofeng looked at her eagerly, "Who do you want to draw the patterns?"

Zhong Yuxiu shook her head and laughed. The older the old man got, the more his mentality seemed to rejuvenate. "Go look for them at the Art Academy. There are many talented people there. They don't need to produce a lot of paintings to sell, as long as they can create detailed and exquisite designs. We'll pay you a certain amount for each drawing. As long as they're willing to make money and can come up with good designs, we'll buy them. We'll have to wait until the cart is built before we can see. If their craftsmanship is truly good, we'll give them a few drawings to study. Then Rushan can send someone over to take charge of this matter. You don't have to worry about it."

"Really?" Yan Guofeng was a little disappointed. "I'm old and can't do anything. My children don't need me anymore." Looking down at his great-grandson, Yan Guofeng felt quite aggrieved.

Zhong Yuxiu didn't understand this grievance. "You're the head of our family, how could you be useless? You're overthinking it. With you around, Rushan has the confidence to do things, and he can always come back to you for advice if he's unsure. Just take good care of him, go out and chat with the elders in the village, and live a happy life. Rushan will take care of the rest, and when Rushan can't solve the problem, that's when you step in."

The veterans are always put on the spot for the last time.

Yan Guofeng felt a little better. He hugged his great-grandson and kissed him on his chubby cheek. "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll happily take the great-grandchildren out to play, and I'll leave everything else to you."

Zhong Yuxiu smiled, and the two of them and the robot carried the three children into the main room. Not long after they sat down, Feng Zheng and others came over with the last of the food and sat down one after another.

"Yuxiu, when are you going to do what you promised last time? Take advantage of your vacation now and get it done. It will be difficult to do it after the winter vacation."

Zhong Yuxiu, who was a little confused at first, understood after hearing what he said; the old man was urging her to go back to BGI and MU to look for someone. It was almost the New Year, so she really had to get things done.

"Grandpa, I want to go back too, but it's not convenient to take the children with me. Let's wait until the stroller comes out. If we can't go before the New Year, we can arrange it after the New Year."

Yan Guofeng sighed, hugging his eldest great-grandson with a feeling of helplessness. His three great-grandchildren were equally clingy, and if they weren't around for a while, they would definitely make a fuss. A group blind date required many people to meet, and it wouldn't be done in a day. With the great-grandchildren making such a fuss, it really wasn't going to work.

"Let's wait until the cart comes out." There was no other way.

Children are chubby and heavy, so it’s okay to hold them for a while; but if you hold them for too long, it will be really tiring.

Zhong Yuxiu nodded and said slowly: "Just think of it as a process of waiting for good things. After the spring comes and the flowers bloom, it will be better to choose a good day." If one or two couples can really be together, at least they can leave a good impression on the first meeting.

"That's it, but don't you have to go to work after the New Year?"

"I said I'd take a few months off, but it's almost Chinese New Year and I'm only starting my vacation. How long will it take until after the New Year? I'm definitely in time. It's perfect. I haven't been back to Huadu for classes in a while. An old professor has been filling in for me, so I'll go back after school starts. I'll pick a date and invite people over to play. It won't be late."

Yan Guofeng could only nod in agreement, thinking it was indeed the best way.

After things were settled here, I stayed at home for another three days. It was almost the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. People were coming in and out of the house, preparing New Year's goods and cleaning. The yard was so big that it took the family two days to clean it up.

Before the New Year, on the 28th and 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Yan Rushan and Zhong Yuxiu, a couple, took New Year's goods and went to pay New Year's greetings to their elders and leaders in their close families. They finally had a break on the day of New Year's Eve, but received a call from Xi Nian.

"Comrade Zhong, do you still remember Wan Yuning?" This was the first sentence Xi Nian said to Zhong Yuxiu after she answered the phone.

Zhong Yuxiu frowned. "Of course I remember. What's wrong? Is his condition not improving?"

"He can't take medicine and now relies on nutritional supplements to stay alive. The hospital is considering using intravenous drip to let him swallow the repair fluid; Wan Yuning refused, believing that his disease is difficult to treat and cannot be cured, so they have given up." Xi Nian spoke slowly.

"Just give up. Didn't he marry and have children? Why did he just give up his life like that?"

Xi Nian sighed silently. "In his condition, it's torture to be alive now. He can't take medicine, so there's no treatment! The doctor I hired was useless. He said it was Wan Yuning himself who didn't want to take the medicine, not that acupuncture was ineffective."

"Psychological problems?"

Is this why you act like this because you just think you can only wait to die?

"Yes." Xi Nian gave a clear answer. Zhong Yuxiu didn't know what to say. She was speechless. "Since he's waiting to die, then let him wait to die. Doctors can treat life issues, and there are psychologists for psychological problems. If psychologists can't help, then he can only wait to die."

She's callous, thank you!

Xi Nian was amused by her. "I've seen a psychiatrist, but he said there's nothing he can do. He's obsessed with it. Maybe he knew he had cancer a long time ago, but he didn't seek treatment. The disease has always occupied his mind, and after it got worse, he actually felt relieved."

We have no choice but to accept what has happened; the things that have not happened yet are the most frustrating.

"Tell him a message, tell him to get the treatment. If he can't take the medicine, think about how after he dies, his wife will remarry, his son will be unwanted, and his property will be seized by others... Anyway, no matter how bad it is, if he still refuses to let go of the knot in his heart, then don't bother. I won't intervene. That incident many years ago has already exhausted the love between us. Now, for the sake of his adoptive father, I can lend a hand. I don't want to help anymore, and his son will just have to wait for him to become a poor, unwanted child."

You are cruel!

Werewolf!

Xi Nian could imagine Wan Yuning's complicated and indescribable feelings after hearing this.
