Chapter 305 Departure

Zhu Fanfan asked again, "What else do you want to eat?"

Liu Zi thought of a very common animal: "There is a kind of wild sheep in our area, but it has the body of a sheep and the tail of a horse. The fat rendered from its body is better than snow cream. It works for frostbite and the like. The only problem is that they are hard to catch. They run too fast and are very strong. They can even hurt people more than a wild boar."

Zhu Fanfan frowned. This was quite similar to the Qianyang recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. How come Qingfeng Commune hadn't paid attention to these things?

Liu Zi couldn't remember: "The rest are no different from the ordinary ones."

Zhu Fanfan said, "Grandpa, I want to go and see."

Maybe there really are treasures everywhere there. She has to go and find out. Qingfeng Commune is becoming more and more unpredictable. She heard that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, many experts went there to investigate and confirmed that there were no problems with the geology, no minerals or anything like that, and nothing special. It was just an ordinary place.

Fu Minghao looked at Liu Zi; "Are you xenophobic where you live? Is it convenient?"

Liu Zi hesitated for a moment: “Our place is poor and remote, and nobody wants to go there. It’s not inconvenient for a young girl to go, but she has to prepare her own food. Whenever someone visits our place, they either get an upset stomach or a fever or a cold. After a while, we don’t dare to bring our friends there anymore.”

They all ate the same food, and they were fine, but none of their friends were. The food and water were brought from outside, but something happened as soon as they arrived at their commune, so they dared not easily entertain their friends.

Zhu Fanfan assured her, "I'll be fine. I've been taking all sorts of medicinal herbs to strengthen my body since I was little, I'm perfectly healthy!"

Not to brag, but her great-grandfather used her as an example. He would push her over there and confidently say, "Come on, who has ever seen a stronger pulse than her? He even treats people upside down."

Liu Zi glanced at the factory manager, and seeing the manager nod, he agreed: "There are still quite a few people in the security department, but I have to switch shifts with someone. It will be the day after tomorrow. I will take you to Qingfeng Commune."

Fu Minghao said, "Okay, I'll talk to Qian about it that day and ask him to come along. If your brigade really has any precious medicinal herbs, have you thought about handing them over to the state?"

If they really discover valuable medicinal herbs, the brigade will be grateful to them, but in a different way. They will be grateful to Fanfan for finding a way to make money for them, but they may not necessarily want to contribute to the country. As far as he knows, everyone in Qingfeng Commune is an expert and very unruly. Otherwise, if they all joined the army, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.

Liu Zi's face turned pale: "Factory manager, I..."

He only thought about how the brigade had treasures to secure benefits for the clansmen, but the clansmen certainly wouldn't hand them over. He was promoted by the factory director, and now the director was wholeheartedly devoted to the country. Wasn't he going against the director? If he really did that, he would be ungrateful.

Fu Minghao patted Liu Zi on the shoulder: "It's okay, you guys just go. Fanfan will tell you what to do later. Don't let the money come and go yet."

Even though she grew up in the Zhu family, Fanfan's selfishness was often undisguised. It was only because the Zhu family had a good family tradition, with bottom lines and principles. In terms of methods, she was more ruthless than anyone else. Perhaps she could get along with the Green Leaf team. Fanfan's business acumen was taught by him, and she was confident in how to get along with people.

That was settled. After Liu Zi left, Fu Minghao had a heart-to-heart talk with Zhu Fanfan: "Fanfan, don't forget that your goal is to make life better for those who have been sent down to the countryside. Don't make things worse."

Others may have wealth, but that's theirs. The Fu family has plenty too. If she wants it, he can give it to her. Right now, his priority is his own safety.

Zhu Fanfan comforted him, "Grandpa, don't worry, I won't clash with them. I will try my best to make everyone happy. Liu Zi may not understand the elders' thoughts. I'll go and find out what's going on."

Fu Minghao trusted Zhu Fanfan. That evening, Xue Chenxi arrived with her family, and it was lively again.

The next day, Zhu Fanfan and Xue Chenxi spent the whole day in the city. They were so tired that they went to bed early that night, looking forward to going to the Green Leaf Brigade the next day.

Liu Zi arrived early. Zhu Fanfan and Wolf King got into Grandpa's car, and Liu Zi led the way. After driving for about an hour, Liu Zi said, "The roads ahead are all narrow and the car can't go any further. Factory manager, stop! Let's find an oxcart nearby."

Fu Minghao stopped the car and said, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Fanfan, have fun in the Green Leaf Brigade. Give me a call when you come back, and I'll be here to pick you up."

Zhu Fanfan refused: "Grandpa, I already know the way back. The Wolf King will take me back. It's faster than your car."

Over the years, the wolf king has also been trained by her, and he is even faster and more agile than when he was in the army. Neither of them holds the other back, so coming back will be a piece of cake.

Fu Minghao didn't say anything more, just told her not to go too far and left. Liu Zi was dumbfounded. Although he would definitely protect the factory director's granddaughter, it was an unfamiliar place after all, couldn't he be a little worried? But then he thought that the factory director trusted him so much that he was so at ease, and his heart was filled with warmth. He would definitely not let the factory director down.

Zhu Fanfan looked at Liu Zi's moved expression with some confusion. Her grandfather knew her abilities; she had single-handedly beaten down Tiger Lord's men, so he must have known about it. That's why he had told her to be more discreet. She hadn't even moved her grandfather's trust in her, so why was Liu Zi so moved...?

Liu Zi said with great enthusiasm, "Fanfan, don't worry, I will definitely protect you and won't let you get hurt in the slightest."

Zhu Fanfan: ...It's really hard to say who will get hurt if you mess with her. She thinks Liu Zi is a bit too straightforward.

Liu Zi hoisted the leather suitcase onto his shoulder and said, “Only Huangye Brigade in our commune has an oxcart. Every morning, it takes people to the commune and back at noon. It costs one cent per person and some grain. I’ll take you there. Once we’ve all arrived, we’ll get on the cart and leave.”

The factory manager's granddaughter looks spoiled and probably can't walk. He has to take good care of her and make sure Fanfan is comfortable.

Zhu Fanfan was embarrassed: "The box has wheels at the bottom, so I can pull it. I'm carrying a lot of things, so it's a bit heavy."

Liu Zi didn't take it seriously: "Don't worry, I can carry this weight like it's nothing. The road is uneven, so be careful not to break the box. Let's find an oxcart first."

After saying that, he took Zhu Fanfan to find the oxcart. When they met, they greeted him warmly: "Uncle Niu, why are you driving the cart today?"

Uncle Niu ignored him: "One cent per person, plus a steamed bun."

Liu Zi wasn't angry and was about to take out his money when Zhu Fanfan stopped him, took out two mao (0.2 yuan) and a pack of cigarettes for 12 mao (0.12 yuan): "I want to charter a car."

Without a second thought, Uncle Niu took the money and cigarettes and said, "Get in the car."
