At this moment, the police from the police station found Chen Changyuan and told him the news: Zhou Dazhu was sentenced to three years in prison for theft and intentional injury.
Upon hearing the news, Chen Changyuan did not feel the slightest bit happy, but rather felt a little sad.
Zhou Dazhu's imprisonment meant the complete collapse of the Zhou family.
When the news reached the Zhou family, Wang Cuifen fainted on the spot, and Zhou Changhe seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
Lin Xiaoya was like a madman, crying and shouting everywhere in the village, telling everyone she met that it was Chen Changyuan who killed Zhou Dazhu.
Chen Changyuan ignored Lin Xiaoya's crazy words. He had more important things to do.
The medicinal materials base is about to usher in new development opportunities. He needs to work harder to live up to the expectations of the provincial leaders and enable the folks of Qingshui Village to live a better life.
In the evening, Chen Changyuan returned home and saw his mother Fang Suxia mending clothes in the yard.
Under the dim light, my mother's figure looked particularly thin.
Chen Changyuan walked to his mother and gently put his arm around her shoulders.
"Mom, our lives will get better and better in the future."
Fang Suxia raised her head, looked at her son's resolute face, and smiled with relief.
"Changyuan, Mom believes in you."
With the support of provincial leaders, the Qingshui Village medicinal materials base has ushered in rapid development.
The area for medicinal herb cultivation has doubled, the newly built processing workshop and laboratory have been put into use, and the number of employees at the base has also increased significantly.
Chen Changyuan became even busier, with endless tasks to deal with every day.
An Caicai also stayed at the base to assist Chen Changyuan in management work.
The two of them have become more and more in tune with each other at work. An Caicai's management skills and international vision have brought new vitality to the base, and their feelings have deepened unknowingly.
One night, after finishing his work, Chen Changyuan stood in front of the office window, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and a feeling of tenderness surged in his heart.
He decided that it was time to confess his feelings to An Caicai.
He made careful preparations, chose a full-moon night, and invited An Caicai to the back mountain to watch the moon.
The back mountain is where they first met and it is also the witness of their common struggle.
As night falls, a bright moon hangs high in the sky, casting a soft silver glow.
The mountain breeze blows gently, bringing bursts of floral fragrance.
Chen Changyuan and An Caicai sat side by side on a rock on the top of the mountain, quietly admiring the beautiful night view.
"Cai Cai,"
Chen Changyuan was the first to break the silence, "Thank you for everything you have done for the base during this period."
An Caicai turned to look at him and smiled gently, "Changyuan, you don't have to be polite to me. I like it here and I like working with you."
Hearing An Caicai's words, Chen Changyuan plucked up the courage and held her hand, "Caicai, I like you, can you be my girlfriend?"
An Caicai's cheeks flushed instantly, and she lowered her head shyly. The moonlight shining on her fair face made her look even more charming and beautiful.
After a while, she whispered, "I do."
Chen Changyuan was overjoyed and hugged her in his arms.
"Cai Cai, thank you. I will definitely cherish you."
The two hugged each other tightly and made promises to each other under the bright moonlight.
After confirming their relationship, Chen Changyuan and An Caicai seemed to have double the motivation and worked even harder.
An Caicai's management talent gradually emerged. She introduced some modern management concepts and made adjustments based on the actual situation of the base, greatly improving the operating efficiency of the base.
She also used her connections to help the base contact some foreign medicinal material buyers, opening up the international market for the base's products.
Chen Changyuan focused on the cultivation of medicinal herbs and the research and development of new varieties. Relying on his experience and knowledge from his previous life, he successfully cultivated several rare medicinal herbs, bringing huge profits to the base.
That day, Chen Changyuan said to An Caicai, "Caicai, I plan to take you home to meet my mother."
An Caicai asked nervously, "Will your mother like me?"
Chen Changyuan smiled and said, "My mother is a very nice person. She will definitely like you."
On the weekend, Chen Changyuan took An Caicai back to Qingshui Village.
Along the way, An Caicai was a little nervous. She didn't know how to face Chen Changyuan's mother.
"take it easy,"
Chen Changyuan held her hand and comforted her, "My mother is easy to get along with."
Arriving at the door of his house, Chen Changyuan pushed open the gate and shouted, "Mom, I'm back, and I brought a guest with me."
Fang Suxia walked out of the house and saw An Caicai behind her son. She was stunned at first, then she smiled kindly: "This is Caicai, what a beautiful girl."
An Caicai quickly stepped forward and greeted her: "Hello, Auntie, I'm An Caicai."
Fang Suxia took An Caicai's hand and looked at her carefully. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became.
This girl is beautiful and has a good temperament. At first glance, she is a well-educated and well-mannered child.
"Come in and sit down, don't stand outside."
Fang Suxia greeted them warmly.
After entering the house, Fang Suxia served tea and poured water, taking care of An Caicai meticulously.
An Caicai also behaved very confidently and soon found herself chatting animatedly with Fang Suxia.
"Changyuan has had a hard life since he was young,"
Fang Suxia held An Caicai's hand, her eyes moistened. "Thanks to you for taking care of him, auntie is really grateful."
"Auntie, don't say that. Changyuan and I help each other."
An Caicai said quickly.
Looking at the close relationship between the two, Fang Suxia was delighted.
She had long hoped that her son could find a good girl to settle down with. Now that she saw An Caicai, she felt that her wish had finally come true.
After dinner, Chen Changyuan sent An Caicai home.
On the way, An Caicai snuggled up to Chen Changyuan and whispered, "Your mother is so nice. I like her very much."
Chen Changyuan smiled and said, "I like you too."
In the following days, An Caicai often came to Qingshui Village to visit Fang Suxia, help her with housework, and chat with her.
Fang Suxia's health gradually improved, and her face was always filled with a happy smile.
An Caicai quickly won the love of the villagers in Qingshui Village.
She actively participated in public welfare activities in the village, helped villagers solve some practical problems, and demonstrated the style of women in the new era.
At a village committee meeting, the old village chief proposed to elect Chen Changyuan as the new village chief to lead Qingshui Village on the road to prosperity.
"Changyuan is a capable and responsible kid."
The old village chief said, "I believe he can lead us to a good life."
The villagers expressed their agreement, and Chen Changyuan gladly accepted the responsibility.
He is determined to lead the villagers of Qingshui Village to create a better future together.
The moment An Zhiyuan stepped into Qingshui Village, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
As an overseas Chinese who has lived abroad for many years, he was full of curiosity and doubts about this remote mountain village.
