At dawn the next day, Li Yuzhu returned to her hometown in the county town after a long overnight drive. Su Wei parked her car outside the gate of the machinery factory's residential area.
Li Yuzhu said, "Could you two please go through the trouble a little longer and drive the truck to the Dongcun pig farm to unload the pig feed, and then drive it to the Sucun soybean processing factory to unload the soybeans?"
Su Wei said, "Unloading will probably take until noon. Don't worry, go back and rest. We two can handle it!"
Li Yuzhu nodded after hearing this, left some money for the two of them to eat, and then got out of the car.
After Li Yuzhu got out of the car, they said goodbye to each other. Su Wei started the car and drove towards the Dongcun pig farm. Li Yuzhu picked up her bag and turned to walk home.
When I got home, I took my key out of my bag, opened the door, walked into the living room, closed the door, and turned to walk towards the bedroom.
Dongqing heard his wife's footsteps in the bedroom. The couple shared a tacit understanding; he knew her footsteps all too well. He asked, "Is Yuzhu back?"
"It's me."
As Li Yuzhu spoke, she walked into the bedroom and saw her husband sitting up in bed. She said, "It's not even dawn yet. Why don't you lie down and sleep for a while? I'm going to the bathroom to take a shower."
Dongqing said, "Don't sleep anymore. You take a shower first. I'll get up and go out to buy you breakfast. After you eat, try to get some sleep."
Li Yuzhu nodded after hearing this, grabbed a nightgown, and headed to the bathroom.
Dong Qing got dressed, got out of bed, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then went to the kitchen to get a thermos. He had bought the thermos on the street before the Spring Festival last year when it snowed heavily. He took the thermos with him and went out to buy breakfast on the street.
Dong Qing went downstairs and walked out of the building entrance, and saw two figures walking towards him.
It was just before dawn. When he got closer, he could see clearly that it was Yi Feifei walking towards him side by side with a young man. The young man was about twenty-three years old and very handsome.
Dong Qing asked, "Sister Fei Fei is going out for her morning exercise? And who is this?"
Yi Feifei said, "He is my younger brother. He is studying at a university in another city. He came back for summer vacation the day before yesterday. Last night, he drank too much with his brother-in-law at home and stayed overnight."
Yi Feifei said that Dong Qing only noticed these details afterward, and the young man and Yi Feifei do indeed look like siblings.
Dong Qing then realized he had been overthinking things. No matter how flirtatious Yi Feifei was, she wouldn't dare to personally see her lover off in the family quarters. Besides, she wouldn't choose such a young lover.
It's no wonder Dongqing has such a ridiculous view. Once a woman's conduct is improper, it's inevitable that others will think that way. People in the entire residential area would probably think that way.
Dong Qing smiled and said, "So it's your younger brother. You two really do look like siblings."
Yi Feifei smiled and said, "Of course, he's my younger brother, there's no reason why he wouldn't look like his older sister."
The young man reached out his hand and smiled, saying, "You may not recognize me, but I know you. I've seen you on TV. You must be Brother Dongqing. Let's get acquainted. My name is Yi Feifei, which is the same as my older sister's name but not the same character."
Dongqing shook hands with him, smiling, and said, "You're a really handsome little brother."
Yi Feifei glanced at the thermos in Dong Qing's hand and asked, "Are you going out to buy breakfast so early?"
Dong Qing said, "My wife just got back from driving. I'll let her eat something and go to bed early."
Yi Feifei said, "It's really not easy to run a sports car business. Your wife is really capable, cherish her, and don't lose her again."
Dong Qing smiled and said, "Of course! I'll pamper my wife like a treasure."
Yi Feifei joked, "Don't be silly, it's just that your wife spoils you."
They walked out of the residential area chatting and laughing. Yifeifei took her younger brother for a walk on the street, while Dongqing headed towards a breakfast shop.
When Dongqing returned home after buying breakfast, it was already broad daylight. His wife, having just finished showering, was sitting on the sofa in the living room, combing her long, wet hair.
Dongqing placed the breakfast he had bought and the thermos on the dining table, then went to the kitchen and took two bowls, placing them on the coffee table. He poured two bowls of tofu pudding from the thermos, putting the rest back in, and told his third sister and Fang Lin to get up and drink it. He said, "Eat quickly, then take a nap. This afternoon, come with me to the pig farm; we haven't been there in a long time."
Li Yuzhu said "okay," stood up, went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and then came back to sit down and eat with her husband.
Dongqing bought pan-fried buns and fried dough sticks; there are only a few kinds of breakfasts sold on the street in the morning.
After dinner, Dongqing said, "I wanted you to enjoy life with me, but you're always running around like this. Why don't you go to the bedroom and get some sleep?"
"I just want to help you with some of the burden. I wouldn't enjoy being a full-time housewife if you really made me."
As the couple chatted and laughed, Dong Sanmei and Fang Lin opened the door and entered the house. Li Yuzhu looked up at them, stood up, and said with a smile, "When did Sister Fang Lin come back?"
Fang Lin smiled and said, "I came back yesterday afternoon. Did your sister just get back?"
Li Yuzhu nodded, chatted with the two for a while, then stood up and went back to her bedroom to rest.
Dong Sanmei and Fang Lin had just finished eating and left for work when Manager Gu Yurou called Dong Qing. She said that the 500 mu of land in Su Village had been purchased half a month ago, and that she had already paid for materials and hired people to fence off the land. She was currently in Su Village.
After the company was established, Dong Qing's work became much easier. He used to have to do these kinds of tasks himself, but now Gu Yurou could do them for him. He said, "Wait for me there, I'll be right there."
Dong Qing hung up the phone and returned to the bedroom. He saw his wife sleeping soundly on the bed, changed his clothes, and left the bedroom.
He drove to Su Village and saw Gu Yurou waiting outside the wall from afar.
Construction has begun on the national highway here, and migrant workers are busy laying the roadbed.
The original 1,000 mu of land was east of the national highway, and the later 500 mu of land was west of the national highway. Dong Qing was certain that both of these plots of land would become prime real estate in the future.
Dong Qing parked the car next to Gu Yurou, got out, and walked with her towards the courtyard at the entrance of the wall.
The fields were planted entirely with corn, which had grown to be over a meter tall, obscuring everything inside. Dong Qing said, "First, we'll set aside 50 mu of land by the roadside to build a car manufacturing plant. We'll negotiate with the village, offering 500 jin of corn as compensation per mu. Once that's agreed upon, the villagers will take the compensation slips issued by the village to the bean product factory to collect their corn."
Dongqing had made preparations for the compensation of corn, having already brought it back from other places and stored it in the warehouse of the Sucun Bean Products Factory, ready to be distributed at any time.
Fifty acres of land for the automobile manufacturing plant is simply not enough for future use. Dong Qing doesn't have that much capital right now, so he can only divide the project into two phases. He will build a portion first for the tricycle factory to use next year, and then start the second phase when he has more money, so that the automobile manufacturing plant can be born.
Gu Yurou said, "I'll take care of it right away."
When buying land in Sucun, Gu Yurou didn't have her subordinates handle it; she did it all herself. This kind of complicated work involved many aspects, and no one else could do it.
Most importantly, she was afraid that others would mess things up, and if they did, it would be much more difficult for her to redo it herself. That's why she didn't let anyone else get involved.
Then Dong Qing led Gu Yurou into Cheng Jian's project department at the wholesale market.
