That afternoon, Director Li from the regional supply and marketing cooperative arrived at the workshop as scheduled. Lin Wanqiu showed him around the raw material sorting area, production area, and packaging area, explaining in detail the production process of dried fruit and jam. Looking at the clean and tidy workshop and tasting the delicious dried fruit and jam, Director Li couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Comrade Wanqiu, your workshop is so professional! Not only is the quality good, but the hygiene is also impeccable, fully meeting national standards. I've decided to sign a long-term supply agreement with you; from now on, the regional supply and marketing cooperative will source all its dried fruit and jam from you!"
Lin Wanqiu was overjoyed and quickly signed the agreement. After the agreement was signed, Director Li smiled and said, "Comrade Wanqiu, I have more good news for you. The region is going to hold an agricultural product fair, and I recommended your workshop. You can take your products to participate in the fair and let more people know about the 'Wanqiu Food Workshop' brand." Lin Wanqiu quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Director Li. We will definitely prepare well and live up to your expectations."
The lights in the workshop were still on that night. Lin Wanqiu and Shen Tingzhou sat under the lamp, discussing their plans for participating in the trade fair. Nian'an, leaning on the corner of the table, was calculating the supplies needed for the fair with his little abacus. His little fingers moved nimbly across the beads as he muttered to himself, "We need to bring ten kinds of dried fruit, five kinds of jam, and promotional posters..." Lin Wanqiu looked at her son's earnest expression, her heart filled with pride. She reached out and patted his head, saying softly, "Nian'an, when we go to the fair, we'll go together, and you can see the world." Nian'an looked up, his little face full of anticipation, "Mom, really? That's great! I've never been to a region before!"
Looking at the heartwarming scene before him, Shen Tingzhou felt a vague sense of unease. Recently, while investigating suspicious points from the old mission in the county town, he discovered that the village secretary, Zhao's father, was acting suspiciously, frequently contacting unidentified individuals and secretly passing things around. He hadn't told Lin Wanqiu, afraid she would worry, but he knew this matter was serious and needed to be investigated as soon as possible. "Wanqiu," Shen Tingzhou grasped her hand, his tone serious, "I'll go with you to the exhibition. Things haven't been peaceful in the county lately; I'm worried you might encounter danger." Lin Wanqiu sensed his concern but didn't press further, simply nodding, "Okay, with you here, I'm at ease."
