Finally, they successfully returned to Xiaolin Village with Mr. and Mrs. Zhou and a repairman. This repairman was personally selected by Mr. Zhou and seemed to have received guidance from him before, as he was very respectful to Mr. Zhou.
As Old Zhou described, his wife was in poor health, thin, and with a sallow complexion, clearly due to long-term malnutrition and emotional distress. It's speculated that she likely came from a scholarly family and had never experienced hardship before. Being suddenly sent to this poor and backward oil factory, she struggled to adapt, perhaps also having to endure physical labor, which, combined with her emotional distress, ultimately led to her current condition.
However, this situation isn't difficult to resolve. As long as she slowly makes her way to Xiaomo Village, a place of beautiful mountains and clear waters that can soothe her mind, and with ample nutrition and proper care, she should recover her health soon. At that time, Old Zhou will probably be pestering her and her husband to stay in Xiaomo Village for a few more days!
Xiaomozhuang is nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with a tranquil environment. It is simply a paradise that makes people yearn for it.
Upon arriving at the village entrance, everyone was captivated by the beautiful scenery before them. Lush green plants lined both sides of the road, and the endless fields of crops conveyed the charm of nature. Especially the cornfield, where the corn seedlings had already grown to knee height, a verdant expanse that brought joy to the eyes.
Behind the village are two large mountains and a dense forest, adding to the village's tranquility and mystery. A river flows beside the village, rushing endlessly, bringing life and vitality to this land.
A serene and tranquil atmosphere permeates the air, making one feel refreshed and relaxed. Here, there is no urban hustle and bustle or pollution, only fresh air and beautiful natural scenery.
Old Zhou was very satisfied with this place; he felt it was indeed a good place, just as Mo Yuan had said. When he saw his beloved close her eyes and immerse herself in the beauty of the place, Old Zhou couldn't help but marvel at its charm.
Afterwards, Mo Yuan led everyone to the original educated youth settlement. It had been empty for a while, so it was perfect for hosting them. Although the settlement was somewhat rudimentary, the rooms were fairly clean, and all the furniture and beds were neatly arranged, having just been cleaned.
Since Mo Yuan's family was building a house, they agreed with Mo Youxian to stay temporarily at the educated youth settlement until the house was completed, so there was no need for further discussion. The other vacant rooms were perfect for accommodating Old Zhou and his wife, along with his other apprentices. This way, Old Zhou and his family wouldn't have to cook separately; they could eat together.
Moreover, with more people around, Old Zhou's wife, who is in poor health, can be looked after. The two of them are usually lonely, and they believe that with more people around, they will gradually become more cheerful and their mood will improve. At least with Da Ya and Er Dan, who are their two sources of joy, they believe they will like this place. Sure enough, they were satisfied with the environment, and Mo Yuan immediately took Old Zhou to see the equipment.
When Lao Zhou saw the equipment, his eyes lit up. Although Mo Yuan had said there was a lot of equipment, he thought it was an exaggeration. But seeing it with his own eyes, it really was piled up like a mountain. It seemed he would be very busy in the coming days!
However, Lao Zhou was quite happy. The working environment here was much more comfortable than in the factory, and his wife also said she liked this beautiful place.
These devices were all familiar and beloved to him, making him feel very close to them.
He carefully inspected each machine, confirming that they were not perfect, but not beyond repair either!
Today, of course, we couldn't start working right away. Mo Yuan showed Lao Zhou around the area, and then we walked back together!
Walking along the mountain path, Old Zhou expressed his gratitude to Mo Yuan. He also inquired about local agricultural production, hoping to learn more about the area. Mo Yuan answered his questions one by one, introducing him to some local specialty agricultural products and planting techniques. Old Zhou listened with great interest.
They are also full of hope for the future...
After this conversation, Lao Zhou also began to have doubts. This young man in front of him really didn't seem like an ordinary mountain boy!
