"1o113 New Urban Farmers Chapter 158 Jade Slag Craze (Part 1 of 2)" For the staff, it's very simple. Zhang Guodong is just waiting to pay up. He can't get involved in anything else.
So he took Zheng Le, who was feeling unwell, to sit on the mountaintop for a day to enjoy the scenery, laugh and play, or walk along their own path, be affectionate, or go down to the river to catch fish, shrimp, and crabs with the children and experience the joys of childhood.
Time flies by.
Ten days into their honeymoon, all the construction work on Taoyuanju was completed.
Uncle Zhao gave Zhang Guodong a satisfactory answer. The well wasn't actually that deep; water was found at a depth of fourteen meters, indicating that the rock strata had been reached. However, the water quality at this depth was generally not as good as that at deeper depths where the rock strata were denser and the groundwater had undergone more filtration layers, resulting in much better water quality.
When they reached a depth of twenty meters, a strange thing happened: they couldn't drill any further. The well water temperature rose, and steam began to rise from the well. Although it wasn't as hot as the hot spring well in Old Yi's herbal medicine garden, it was still showing signs of life. Zheng Le took a thermometer with great interest and measured the temperature—it was twenty degrees Celsius!
Everyone says that the villagers of Qijixing Village also dig wells for drinking water, but no one has ever seen them dig a hot well. Does this mean that Snake Nest Valley is actually a treasure land?
It's a pity this place isn't for ordinary people. Snakes generally don't crawl into the yard when Zhang Guodong is around, but when he's not, everyone has to be extra careful. Snakes are practically seen passing by quite often.
Unbeknownst to them, the snakes here have become the protectors of Peach Blossom Spring.
At this moment, Liu Neng called again, saying that the harvest of jade slag this time was quite large, and his words were hesitant. His tone was full of anticipation, and he asked Zhang Guodong if he wanted to go and take a look.
Zhang Guodong was intrigued when he heard that the acquisition of the jade slag had made great progress. However, Zhang Guodong did not give him a definite answer.
Doing business requires a certain shrewdness. Although he doesn't care about small gains and losses, he can't let himself be taken advantage of as a rich man.
Liu Neng seems to have gotten addicted to making money from jade scraps; he's more enthusiastic than anyone else this time. The price of jade scraps is indeed very high!
It's true that sufficient profits can motivate people to take risks.
As June arrived, the weather grew increasingly hot, and this heat fueled the growing affection between Zhang Guodong and Zheng Le. Zhang Guodong took Zheng Le's body, and Zheng Le's hesitant heart finally settled, and she acquiesced and accepted.
Every day, her beautiful and refined appearance makes Zhang Guodong occasionally lose his composure and look like a lecherous man! This earns him nothing but eye-rolls from Zheng Le.
The sweetness between the two was palpable.
Peach Blossom Spring Residence.
Zhang Guodong and Zheng Le were covered in sweat and lay on the sofa. Zhang Guodong was almost on top of her, and the two were naked.
Zheng Le was extremely ashamed and angry. This wicked guy had actually committed adultery in broad daylight. At this moment, she had no strength left and couldn't lift this guy up.
"Guodong, put me up and carry me to the bathroom. I have no strength left!" Zheng Le said, her cheeks flushed. Her body felt incredibly weak; Zhang Guodong had really worn her out.
"No, no, don't bite!" Zhang Guodong mischievously sucked on one of her nipples, and Zheng Le's body went limp again.
"Hehe!" Zhang Guodong raised his head and admired her beautiful body, his hands caressing her from the mountains to the valleys in a breathtaking way.
Zheng Le, feeling shy and helpless, simply closed her eyes and stopped looking at him. Her body trembled slightly, revealing her sensitivity.
"Let's go, Lele?" Zhang Guodong suddenly said.
"Not staying here anymore?" Zheng Le opened her eyes and said in surprise. She covered her firm, bouncy breasts with both hands. She had fallen in love with this place; she considered it her own.
She was leaving after only ten days. She was very reluctant to leave.
“We can take wedding photos in Chuandu. Don’t you think it’s a big deal that the room is missing wedding photos? Besides, I have business in Chuandu, although it’s almost over, I still have to go there. You can relax to your heart’s content,” Zhang Guodong said, kissing her neck and chest.
Zheng Le tried to dodge, but couldn't escape Zhang Guodong's mouth.
"When should we get up?"
"You'll be leaving the provincial capital this afternoon, probably on a flight to Sichuan tonight. I doubt anyone will recognize you then!"
Zheng Le naturally hoped for this.
When there were outsiders at Taoyuan Residence, she always wore large sunglasses and rarely spoke, all to avoid being recognized. If she were to go to another province, she wouldn't need to worry about these things.
"Guodong, please let me up, or someone might come," Zheng Le said.
"Who else would come here? People from Jixing Village wouldn't come here!" Zhang Guodong laughed. However, being naked in broad daylight was indeed inappropriate, so he reluctantly got off Zheng Le. With a soft thud, Zheng Le angrily punched him.
"You're so mean, you've made the sand all dirty!" Zheng Le said.
Zhang Guodong stood up and separated from Zheng Le. The latter immediately covered her lower body and ran quickly into the bathroom.
They ate lunch at Taoyuanju, where the rice and vegetables were all sourced from Taoyuan. There was a large black carp, a five-year-old wild ginseng, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cold salad, cucumber with minced garlic, and braised river shrimp. Zheng Le kept praising Zhang Guodong's cooking skills. Zhang Guodong was overjoyed!
I felt ashamed at the same time; if a different chef had cooked it, it might have tasted even better.
"Guodong, is this blackfish the same kind I've eaten before?" Zheng Le asked, taking small bites of the fish. She remembered her mother, Mei Lan, had once brought her a fish from Green Treasure Pavilion.
She was drawn to the unique flavor of the food she tasted.
"Yes, it's the same!" Zhang Guodong said after chewing his rice a few times. He always eats a lot, so he has to eat quickly, otherwise everyone else will have finished before he does.
"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you!"
"Hehe, I'm eating the equivalent of three people's food all by myself. How can I not eat quickly, otherwise where will I get the energy for dinner?" Zhang Guodong said.
"You're so vulgar! Don't you dare say such things again!"
"I promise I won't say anything nonsense, I'm just saying it in front of my wife, hehe!"
Zheng Le blushed and felt helpless, truly unable to do anything about him.
"Guodong, shall we go back and see Mom and Dad before we leave? We need to take care of the four elders," Zheng Le suddenly said. "Also, bring them some vegetables and fish. My dad said that eating Green Treasure Pavilion's food regularly is good for their health!"
Zhang Guodong looked at her with surprise.
At this moment, Zheng Le seemed to have completely accepted this fait accompli. He was very happy.
"Even if you hadn't said anything, I'd already planned it out. From now on, our whole family will eat Green Treasure Pavilion's food. There'll be enough for everyone! Maybe your parents will even turn back the clock!"
What did you call my parents?
“My parents!” Zhang Guodong said.
"That's more like it!" Zheng Le said with satisfaction.
Zhang Guodong smiled helplessly. These same terms of address could easily be confused with "Dad" and "Mom." Although a son-in-law is like half a son, he found it a little difficult to bring himself to call them "Dad" and "Mom." He'd see how it went.
In the afternoon, Zhang Guodong and his new wife Zheng Le first went to the Zhang family's door and greeted their parents, "Dad and Mom!"
My mother was overjoyed. The two seemed very close and got along very well. Zheng Le looked even more beautiful, as if her feminine charm was beginning to shine through.
This is the mark of becoming a young married woman.
Zhang Guodong has two large water tanks at home, one containing a lot of fish, shrimp, and crabs from Taoyuan. Vegetables are frozen in the refrigerator.
The two of them could probably eat at least half a pound of food. (Month)
The same applies to the Zheng family.
Zhang Guodong's reluctant address of Zheng Tianfu and Mei Lan as "Mom and Dad" made them very happy. Calling them "Uncle" and "Aunt" felt a bit distant, but calling them "Mom and Dad" made them feel like they were all family, and that their daughter and son-in-law would take care of them in their old age.
The mother and daughter went inside to chat. Zhang Guodong and Zheng Tianfu had just been talking in the living room. This time, Zheng Tianfu was noticeably different, speaking much more intimately to his son-in-law. He inquired about Zhang Guodong's business.
Zhang Guodong thought about this and didn't try to hide it much. The Hongtan Mine would probably be closing down in a little over a month, and there was no point in hiding this business from Zheng Tianfu; after all, it was all about money.
The Zhang family is wealthy, so your daughter won't suffer.
Upon hearing that Zhang Guodong was involved in a joint jade mining operation, Zheng Tianfu immediately became interested. The jade culture, with its thousands of years of history, is particularly rich and profound, and most officials are familiar with it to some extent.
As Zheng Le emerged from the Zheng family home, her sweet smile was tinged with an unusual charm.
"Lele, what did your mom say to make you so happy?" Zhang Guodong couldn't help but ask, his curiosity piqued.
"Why are you, a man, asking about what women talk about?" Zheng Le rolled her eyes at him and chuckled.
Zhang Guodong was momentarily speechless.
"Hurry up!" Zheng Le suddenly urged Zhang Guodong, pulling him quickly into Zhang Guodong's van.
Confused, Zhang Guodong went up to them and said, "What's wrong? We're a legally married couple, who are we afraid of?"
"I'm not afraid of Sister Han and her sister knowing, but if others know about you, I won't have peace of mind!" Zheng Le said.
“French ice?” Zhang Guodong said.
He danced with Han Bing at the ball. A woman with a strong personality naturally had a good figure, which added to her mature charm.
Sure enough, Zhang Guodong saw Han Bing and another woman walking towards them from a short distance away. Zheng Le quickly urged Zhang Guodong to drive away; she didn't want others to know who her husband was. Keeping a low profile is a good way to protect their marriage, right?
Han Bing saw the van as it left the residential area. However, it was a bit far away, so she only glanced at it with surprise before turning her head away.
She apparently remembered Zhang Guodong's van.
"That guy actually won the heart of his beauty!" Han Bing thought to herself with a smile. She'd heard Zheng Le say that the wedding would be low-key, just a meal between the two families to get their marriage certificates. She hadn't expected him to actually keep his word!
To say she was low-key was only true to a certain extent. Mei Lan would casually mention her daughter's marriage while visiting neighbors, a source of pride for Han Bing's family. Upon hearing this, Han Bing's family became envious, and the Zheng family urged her to get married as well. Keep in mind, she was a year and thirty years older than Zheng Le.
"Do you know what Zheng Le did on her month-long leave? I heard she got married. Is this a honeymoon?" a female colleague asked.
Han Bing smiled slightly and said, "Probably not, right? Otherwise, why wouldn't Lele invite me to her wedding banquet? Anyway, what's the point of guessing? Maybe she just wants to relax. You know how stressful our work is."
The female colleague nodded thoughtfully.
