Han Yixian recalled the scene he saw in Laohewan Village and said, "I went to Laohewan a few days ago, and the changes there are quite significant."
Gu Qishen was very interested. "If it's something you can see, then it must have changed a lot. Tell me about it."
Han Yixian said, "Laohewan is doing a very good job in collective farming and planting. Their fruit trees have started to bear fruit one after another, and they should have income this year."
They also raise chickens in the orchard. The chickens eat the insects in the orchard, and their droppings become fertilizer, creating a mutually beneficial system. The eggs laid by the hens provide long-term benefits. When the production team becomes wealthy, it's the villagers who ultimately benefit.
Even if the money is used to buy fertilizer, it will still increase grain production, and the villagers will receive more grain. Ultimately, the villagers will benefit.
We can promote this model from Laohewan. It's a collective effort, and the profits aren't going to individuals, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Gu Qishen nodded and said, "Yes, that's feasible. Rural brigades can collectively raise pigs, fish, and so on, and then the purchasing station can buy their produce. This way, the supply of non-staple foods in our City C won't be so tight. It's a good idea."
I'll have someone do a survey when I get back to see how many villages are engaged in collective farming; that's something we can encourage. But we can't make it too obvious.”
Gu Qishen didn't hold back at Han Yixian's place, eating and drinking to his heart's content. Gu Qishen had visibly lost weight from being so busy lately.
Han Yixian couldn't stand Gu Qishen's disregard for his health and said, "Alright, take this bag of snacks with you. Eat some if you're hungry. Take that bag of milk powder too."
No matter how busy you are at work, you can't forget to eat. If you keep doing this, you'll develop health problems. Huayang is still young; he'll be relying on you in the future. Don't just make do all the time. If you can't manage, find a wife. At least someone will take care of you, and you'll have a hot meal waiting for you when you get home.
Gu Qishen was afraid that Han Yi would bring this up first, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "Alright, stop nagging me. I'm not in the mood for that right now. I'm busy, I'll be going now."
She then put the paper bag containing the pastries and the milk powder into her bag and ran away.
Han Yixian shook his head helplessly. He knew who Gu Qishen loved, so he couldn't interfere too much in Gu Qishen's personal life.
But there is only one He Yuhan in this world, and he will never give her up to anyone else.
After discussing their plan, Gu Qishen and Han Yixian split up and began to act separately.
Han Yixian contacted suppliers, Gu Qishen went to determine the types of grain, and many other things also needed to be assigned. Everyone had to get busy and try to satisfy all parties.
Du Haifeng and his brother Yue Tingshan had a fulfilling time at the Han family home. Du Haifeng studied medicine with his sister every day, while Yue Tingshan and Du Haichao practiced martial arts.
Gu Huayang and He Haobo, the two little ones, often came to the Han family to join in the fun, making the Han family more lively than ever this summer.
Wen Jinyu loves children and is very happy to see so many children of all ages in her family. Every day she tries to think of ways to cook delicious food for them.
Xiao Xurui is very happy to see the house so lively every day, and sometimes he insists on watching everyone practice martial arts in the yard. Wen Jinyu carries him into the house, and he cries.
Du Haifeng and the others all scrambled to hold Xiao Xurui. The little guy really enjoyed being with his uncles. Although he didn't know anything yet, he already had his own preferences.
Yue Tingshan greatly admired the books in He Yuhan's study, including foreign classics and works by renowned Chinese writers. Through these books, Yue Tingshan learned about the outside world, gained more knowledge, and broadened his horizons.
However, many of the novels in the study were in their original language, which Yue Tingshan couldn't understand at all.
He approached He Yuhan with a foreign novel in his hand and said, "Sister Yuhan, don't you have any translated versions of these novels?"
He Yuhan glanced at the book in Yue Tingshan's hand and said, "Only some of the most famous foreign novels have been translated. There are many that haven't been translated and can only be read in their original text."
Yue Tingshan said, "Sister Yuhan, can I learn a foreign language from you?"
He Yuhan was delighted to hear this. "Of course you can. Learning another foreign language is never a bad thing. If you're interested, I'll teach you. I'll start with the basics and teach you how to use a dictionary. Then you can look up any unfamiliar words yourself."
He Yuhan went back to her room and found a very basic textbook in her storage space, preparing to teach Yue Tingshan.
Du Haifeng and Du Haichao also wanted to learn, so He Yuhan ended up teaching the three students together.
Wen Jinyu and Liu Zhongyi also knew some foreign languages, and they were very interested in He Yuhan's classes. In the end, He Yuhan's students numbered five.
These five people studied very hard, and you could often hear them reading aloud at home.
However, He Yuhan also instructed Du Haifeng and the other two that it was fine at home, but they should never reveal that they were learning a foreign language when they went out, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Du Haifeng and his two friends often heard some comments from classmates at school, and of course they knew the seriousness of the matter, so they would never reveal it to outsiders.
During this period, He Yuhan gradually prepared all the things needed for her second brother's wedding. Han Yixian often took He Yuhan out and brought the things back.
He Yuhan took care of things like curtains and blankets at home, and then she and Han Yixian drove around delivering the items to the He family home.
Yu Huiru also prepared some items such as thermos flasks and washbasins. After her son's wedding, her daughter-in-law would be living at home, so there was no need to prepare pots, pans, and other utensils separately.
Amidst all the hustle and bustle, the He family finally celebrated the wedding of He Zhendong and Liang Jingyun. The He family was about to have another joyous occasion.
Although the He family does not plan to hold a grand celebration, they do intend to set up a few tables in the dining hall and invite some close relatives and friends.
It was impossible for Liang Jingyun to stay at the He family home to get married, and Laohewan was too far from the city, so it was also impossible for Liang Jingyun to get married from Laohewan. Therefore, He Yuhan arranged for Liang Jingyun to get married from the Han family, which was just a formality.
The day before, Liang Shouzhen and his wife, and Du Lianqiao and his wife, along with their youngest son, arrived in the city.
Han Yixian arranged for them to stay at his home.
The night before, Liang Jingyun stayed with her parents. She was getting married the next day and wanted to talk to them.
The Liang family elders were very reluctant to part with their youngest daughter, as their daughter would be married to someone else tomorrow.
They have three sons and only one daughter, who was also pampered by the family. Fortunately, their daughter married into the He family, and the two families have been friends for many years. They know the He family very well, which puts them at ease.
The next morning, Liang Jingyun was woken up early by her mother to get dressed. After all, she was a new bride, so she had to dress up.
The dress Liang Jingyun wore for her wedding was handmade by He Yuhan; it was very beautiful and appropriate.
He Yuhan also got up to prepare to do Liang Jingyun's makeup. It's okay for a bride to wear makeup. She wouldn't do heavy makeup for Liang Jingyun; a natural and beautiful light makeup would be fine.
