When Zhong Wanwan heard that she was about to go hunting in the mountains, she immediately changed her mind.
Actually, there's no rush to go to the food factory, right?
The main reason is that it's not peak season for food factories to ship goods yet. The weather is still cold, so the food won't spoil even if it's stored for a few more days.
Zhong Wanwan pulled Wei Maisui and said:
"Going to the food factory isn't urgent. That beat-up truck can't run anyway. We can go any other day!"
"Come on, come on, come on, let's go to your house right now!"
Wei Maisui instantly understood what Zhong Wanwan meant; her master had rekindled her interest and wanted to go into the mountains with her again!
However, this time, her master will not get his wish.
Besides being physically strong, one also needs to be able to withstand the cold when going into the mountains. Her older brother and his group were all men, and it was very inconvenient for her master, who was a woman!
Wei Maisui poured cold water on Zhong Wanwan's enthusiasm:
"Master, forget about going into the mountains. My dad and my older brother will never agree to it!"
Zhong Wanwan didn't argue. Whether it worked or not, she had to give it a try!
It's all up to human effort, and she had already figured out how to persuade Director Wei and Brother Wei to let her go into the mountains.
Zhong Wanwan pulled Wei Maisui home. As soon as they entered the house, they heard Wei Youliang showing off in front of his grandmother!
When Wei Youliang saw that it was Zhong Wanwan, he was unusually embarrassed.
He's bragged before, but bragged in front of the person in question really made him blush.
Wei Youliang said solicitously:
"Master Zhong, come sit on the kang (heated brick bed) quickly, it's too cold outside."
Seeing Wei Youliang's mature demeanor, Zhong Wanwan simply smiled and nodded, without exposing his true intentions.
Zhong Wanwan inquired with Manager Wei:
"Uncle Wei, Mai Sui said you and Brother Wei are discussing going into the mountains? When are you going?"
Seeing Zhong Wanwan's impatient expression, Director Wei knew what she was thinking. Despite his usual good temper towards Zhong Wanwan, Director Wei was unusually resolute on this matter:
"You're a young lady, you can forget about going into the mountains. Neither your brother Wei nor I will agree to it!"
Zhong Wanwan, having her thoughts exposed, wasn't angry. Instead, she said tactfully:
"That's not what I meant. I wanted to recommend a good candidate for Director Wei to go into the mountains!"
Manager Wei assumed Zhong Wanwan was referring to Zhong Songbai. Although Zhong Songbai had no prior experience in the mountains, he was a strong, young man, and since Zhong Wanwan had spoken up, Manager Wei thought for a moment and said:
"Have Songbai come over tomorrow, and have your Brother Wei tell him what to be careful about when going into the mountains!"
The implication is that they agree to let Zhong Songbai go into the mountains!
Zhong Wanwan didn't expect that by not going into the mountain herself, she had created an opportunity for Zhong Songbai.
However, the person she recommended wasn't Zhong Songbai, and recommending her brother wouldn't be of any use to her going into the mountains. Zhong Wanwan shook her head and said:
"Uncle Wei, it's not my brother, it's Xia Zhiqing. Xia Zhiqing grew up in a military compound. Besides being good at fighting, she's also a good shot. Her accompanying her into the mountains is a good safety measure, right?"
When Brother Wei goes into the mountains, Uncle Maisui will accompany him; Uncle Maisui is quite good at using homemade guns.
Brother Wei can use some too, but he can't compare to Uncle Mai Sui.
That being said, having a good shot along would certainly be a safeguard for them going into the mountains, so Director Wei hesitated.
If Xia Ning were a male educated youth, this matter would definitely not be a problem, but it is really inconvenient for a young woman to go into the mountains with a hunting team.
Seeing that Director Wei hesitated, Zhong Wanwan pressed on:
"Uncle Wei, we have gender equality now. You can't doubt our abilities just because we're not boys!"
When Zhong Wanwan mentioned Xia Ning, Director Wei understood that Zhong Wanwan was simply taking a roundabout approach to achieve her goal.
If he agrees to Xia Ning's request, then her going into the mountains will be a natural progression!
Seeing that Zhong Wanwan had gone through such a long and complicated process to get into the mountains, and even made a big deal out of it, Director Wei said irritably:
"Alright, do you really think your Uncle Wei can't see through your little schemes? You've really gone to great lengths just to get into the mountains!"
Zhong Wanwan said with a grin:
"No way, I was just thinking of our team. There was absolutely no selfish motive involved!"
Of course she would go! If it weren't for wanting to go herself, this girl wouldn't have bothered with all that effort!
However, it does indeed benefit the safety of the hunting team.
Director Wei knew Zhong Wanwan; she was skilled, and people who wanted her to repair tractors always had to ask Director Wei first.
With her salary and the things she got for fixing the tractor, she really didn't need to worry about food. This girl was just innocent and curious about everything!
Although she is very curious, this girl is not the type to cause trouble, so satisfying her curiosity within reasonable limits is not a bad thing.
Only Director Wei himself felt that he was acting "within a reasonable range," which was simply giving the green light with full authority!
Putting aside others, just look at how much Director Wei dotes on Wei Maisui. If Wei Maisui says she wants to go into the mountains, Director Wei will scold her, saying, "You look like you're going into the mountains."
But when it came to Zhong Wanwan, Director Wei accepted it so easily!
Not only did Director Wei accept it, but he also helped Zhong Wanwan make amends:
"Alright, do you really think your Uncle Wei can't see through your little scheme?"
"Tomorrow you come with Xia Zhiqing and Songbai, and your Brother Wei will tell you about the precautions for going into the mountains!"
"But it's settled then, you can't wander off in the mountains. You have to stay with your Brother Wei and Uncle Mai Sui, understand?"
Zhong Wanwan nodded happily and said:
"I know, I know, I'll definitely stay close to Brother Wei and Uncle Maisui, and I absolutely won't wander off!"
She thought she would have to do a lot of persuasion, but she didn't expect Director Wei to agree so easily. This was such a pleasant surprise!
She's never been hunting in the mountains before!
Hunting is no longer allowed in the back mountains. If she hadn't transmigrated into a book, she would never have had this experience in her life!
If we're talking about people from the modern era, Bai Yueyao and Zhong Wanwan have exactly the same thoughts.
Although she didn't know when the hunting team would enter the mountains, she could find out!
She endured Aunt Wang's cold face and sarcastic remarks, and managed to get the information out of Aunt Wang that the winter fishing and hunting trips in the mountains were always close together every year!
