…
The next day, before it was fully light, A'duo reluctantly left with Zi Miao's large and imposing procession.
Achen stood at the entrance of Quedong Village, watching Aduo and the others disappear into the darkness, unable to control his emotions for a long time.
This is the scene at this moment.
Ah Chen felt a sense of loss, as if he had returned to his previous life.
Especially when Duoduo kept turning back to wave at him, telling him to go back and not to get cold, those immature voices almost made Achen break down.
Amo stayed by Achen's side.
Even as dawn broke and the Miao people went out to plow and cultivate the land, Achen remained standing at the crossroads, gazing into the distance.
"Ah Chen, it's alright, don't worry too much! I've already given instructions to Zi Miao."
"Thanks."
"If you thank me again, I'll beat you up."
Amo raised her fist, and Achen laughed.
After a moment, Ah Chen let out a soft sigh, took out his phone to check the time, and said, "Did you tell your father-in-law and his family about the time last night? We're going to the bank to activate the card today!"
"I told you, we should be there soon, or I should go check."
“Okay! I’ll drive the car down while I’m at it. Uncle Rong is also going to the county to pick up goods today.”
"You've just recovered, don't drive, I'll drive. Go call my father and mother."
"Alright."
Half an hour later---
Uncle Arong drove his SUV behind the Land Rover with the license plate number 黔A五八, heading towards Tianfeng County.
Inside the car, the mother-in-law looked left and right. Although she had ridden in it once before, it felt different this time.
She even said to Amo, who was driving, "Can't it be done in town? Why do we have to go all the way to the county seat, Amo?"
“Mother, although it can be activated in town, the card that Ah Chen gave me can only be used at a bank in the county level.”
"Our round trip has wasted a lot of time. Guolin is very busy today."
Upon hearing this, Ah Chen in the passenger seat turned his head and said, "Mother, you need to rest properly and not overwork yourself! Otherwise, when you really get old, you'll be plagued by a lot of ailments that will torment you."
"We Miao people are always working hard; we're used to it."
The mother-in-law waved her hand, and the father-in-law straightened up and asked, "Achen, when will we be able to finish up and come back?"
"We can get it done as soon as we arrive. I called their bank manager last night to schedule a time, and he's already waiting for us at the bank. I estimate it will only take half an hour!"
"That's good. You'll have time to do other things when you get back."
"Uncle Yue, after we're done, you and your mother will probably have to go back with Uncle Rong in that car. We won't be going back to the village today."
Aren't you going back to the village?
Her mother immediately asked, "Where are you going? To the provincial capital? You've just recovered, you can't take any more strenuous activity, you need to rest properly!"
“I know, Mother. Mo and I are going to the Miao branch of the Short Skirts.”
Upon hearing this, the mother-in-law immediately realized what was going on.
The father-in-law gently tugged at his wife, telling her to stop asking.
After all, Ah Chen almost lost his life because of her biological mother.
The mother-in-law didn't ask any further questions, but she said to Amo, "On the way there, take good care of Achen and make sure he doesn't get hurt again."
“Mother, don’t worry. What could a grown man like me possibly do? It should be me taking care of Amo.”
Ah Chen felt a warmth in his heart and immediately picked up the conversation.
Unexpectedly---
His mother-in-law actually retorted, "A grown man? What kind of man are you? You're just a little boy now, what kind of man are you? Amo has been living with you for days, where is she a man?"
cough cough--
The more the mother-in-law spoke, the softer her voice became.
Ah Chen choked, and Ah Mo, who was driving, blushed bright red all the way to her neck.
Although the father-in-law seemed oblivious to everything around him, he was secretly anxious.
She wondered what was wrong with Ah Chen. It had been several days, and Ah Mo was still a girl.
"Mother, what are you saying!"
Amo truly never expected her mother to say such things in front of Achen.
Ah Chen was too afraid to speak. Fortunately, they had entered the county road, and as soon as their cell phone signal came in, a call came in.
…
"The direction is correct, but we need to pay attention to the details. If this part of the investment exceeds ten million, and they don't give us forty percent, then we'll drag it out and talk again in September."
…
"That's fine! But it can't deviate from the previous... Hey... Hey..."
It seems there's no signal!
Amo quickly braked and reversed. "Let's see if there's a signal?"
"Yes, but it's very weak! It's okay, let's go first. After we climb this slope, there should be a signal at the top of the mountain. When that time, just find a slightly wider spot and pull over."
Amo nodded and quickened her pace slightly because Achen's call was about something important, and she couldn't let him down.
But the father-in-law and his family in the back seat looked completely bewildered.
They speak Han language, but what Ah Chen is talking about sounds like a very big business.
Soon, they reached a place with a signal at the top of the mountain. Amo pulled the car over to the side of the road, signaling to Achen that it was okay. Then she took out her small notebook and waited for Achen to speak so she could write it down.
The call went through.
"There was no signal just now! Lin Bei, your direction is fine, but you can't deviate from the previously planned route."
"Shanghai and Shenzhen should intensify their efforts to submit all the applications on those sheets of paper I gave you, and try to acquire as many shares as possible, especially the dozen or so companies I marked."
"We can't leave Zhejiang Province behind either. You should send people to Beijing first. I'll be going to Beijing by early September at the latest."
…
"Finance? You can handle that for now. I'll find someone for you when I get to Yanjing! How's Han Feng doing?"
