The call was made to the Guanjia Village Office. This was a telephone that was installed with funds raised by the Guanjia Village community after the land was sold. Every family had tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan in their hands. There was no telephone in the village. What should they do if they couldn't find anyone when something happened?
Please ask Village Chief Guan to ask Guan Tao to take over the job. Village Chief Guan's voice was loud. Zhou Xiang put the phone away. Tian Li and Chen Wenlian could hear the voice coming from the receiver clearly.
"Okay! I'll call him over right now. Oh! He went out to work during your wedding, and when he came back, he kept regretting it. The little money he earned was nothing compared to a gold bar. I sleep with the gold bar in my arms every day, and I don't know where to hide it. I only feel safe when I go out with the gold bar and sickle during the day."
Chen Wenlian and Tian Li covered their mouths and laughed secretly. They had also been sleepless for two days. In the end, they simply listened to Zhou Xiang's advice and rolled up newspapers and stuffed them into their smelly rain boots.
Zhou Xiang offered another suggestion, "Wrap it up and put it in a jar, then bury it in the vegetable patch next to your toilet."
"Did your godparents do the same thing?"
"They're theirs. I'll keep them here."
While Tian Li and Chen Wenlian were waiting, Guan Tao arrived with the village chief. Before Guan Tao could even speak, the village chief pulled him away and quickly walked over to Zhou Xiang. He handed her the rolled-up newspaper and said, "Zhou Xiang, can you keep it for me? I'm so tired! I haven't slept well in ten days. I'm worried every day that someone's breaking into the house and trying to knock me out from behind. I'm going crazy."
Tian Li and Chen Wenlian looked at the haggard old man and couldn't help laughing.
Guan Tao also laughed. So the village chief had to come along because of this matter? "Village chief, isn't it good for you to get the gold? You're throwing it away like a hot potato."
"Who can't sleep? Only I know! It's so painful. Why do I suddenly feel that having money is not necessarily a good thing? A while ago, I won the land bonus, and my passbook was almost torn apart. I just felt at ease. Now there is a gold bar. It's beautiful, but my heart is in a panic. I feel uneasy."
Zhou Xiang couldn't help but laugh, "Okay! I'll keep it for you."
She took the newspaper and opened it, letting everyone in the room see what was inside, then rolled it up again, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Everyone in the room was still not used to such fantastic things. Guan Tao had only heard about it. When he saw it with his own eyes for the first time, he couldn't help rubbing his eyes. It was so scary that his heart was pounding.
Zhou Xiang had a notebook, paper and pen in his hand. He opened the notebook, wrote down the date and names, and asked Tian Li, Chen Wenlian and Guan Tao to help sign as witnesses.
"Why so many names?" The village chief didn't care.
"No, that won't do. What if I forget it later? When you come back to claim it, you'll need at least two witnesses to testify before you can take it away!"
Guan Tao thought it made sense, as it would give him a higher safety factor. He picked up the pen and examined it to see if it was real. "Brother Village Chief, this is safer than a safe!"
After Tian Li and Chen Wenlian signed their names, the village chief also signed his name. He took a look at the page and saw that many people had come back to ask Zhou Xiang to keep it for safekeeping!
"So, I'm not the only one who's feeling uneasy?"
"Not really! If you're willing to exchange it for money now, you can put it in the bank and feel at ease."
The village chief waved his hand. "No, I won't change it. Didn't you say the price would go up? Besides, we're not short of money right now. Okay, I'm going home to sleep. I have to sleep all day and all night."
Guan Tao followed Tian Li and Chen Wenlian to look at houses, and a stranger came to Zhou's house.
"You must be Zhou Xiang, right? I'm the director of the plastics factory, and I'm here to deliver some samples."
"It's me. You're so polite. You don't need to be so formal or use honorifics. You're older."
The factory manager smiled and said, "Okay then, no need to use honorifics, just speak normally."
I didn't expect that he wanted to become famous overnight this week and be regarded as a role model for Huai County and Hui Province, but he is still so humble.
"Okay! I'll ask someone to call Ling Ran back. Please wait."
"Okay, okay, I'll wait."
Zhou wanted to get up and leave the yard, and asked Jianjian to go to the park to call his uncle back, saying that there were guests at home. When the guest heard that she was willing to open the park, he insisted on going to catch a few more super big fish.
When Ling Ran came back, he brought back a huge fish.
When the factory manager saw the fish, he was surprised how the lake could produce such a big fish.
"We make our own fish feed." Ling Ran lied without blinking, but his expression and heart remained calm.
"No wonder! Take a look at this sample and see if it's right. If not, I'll go back and make some changes."
The factory manager handed over the plastic bag in his hand.
Ling Ran shook the water off his hands, took it and examined it, pointing to the edge, "There shouldn't be any gaps here. It should look like one piece overall, but you have two, so there must be gaps on the edge."
"Okay, I'll go back and revise it."
“How many samples do you have?”
"Ten."
"Keep it for me first, I need it urgently."
"OK."
After the factory manager left, Zhou Xiangcai picked up the plastic bag and examined it. "The thickness and material seem good, but I wonder if it can withstand ten kilograms of weight."
"Why don't you just try and know?"
"Then give it a try."
The vacuum-dried fish pieces were placed on a cabinet in the corner of the dining room. When they dried overnight, the Zhou family was surprised. Zhou wanted to trick them again, saying, "I used my inner energy to dry them."
No one in the Zhou family believed it except Jianjiankang and Yuanyuan, but Zhou Kai believed it and asked Zhou Xiang to dry one for him to see.
Zhou Xiang teased him, "If you mastered some magical skill, would you be happy if someone asked you to perform one?"
Zhou Kai thought about it and shook his head, "I might be happy to do it at first."
"That's right! Do masters like me just perform for others? You just need to see the magical results, the process is not important."
Zhou Kai nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, the process is not important. Just like when I finish my studies, I will definitely let people see my final results. I don't want others to see me exhausted like a dog with my tongue hanging out every day."
"Are you tired?" Zhou Xiang asked coldly.
"I'm not tired, I'm not tired. Look, cousin, you're absolutely right. My clothes are a little short and a little skinny for me."
"Just wear it. I'll buy you more in the fall."
"Thank you, cousin."
Zhou's father and mother tried to hold back their laughter. This Zhou Kai really was as silly and fierce as their little girl said.
Ling Ran and Zhou Xiang put the fish pieces into the plastic bag, and it was full after only four pieces.
After sealing it, he lifted the oval cutout at the bag's mouth and weighed it. It was okay. "How many do you want to order?"
"500,000 of them, keep them for later use. I don't have time to prepare these. Once the food comes out, the demand will increase. Can I send these away first?"
"Send it away! The old boss must be worried."
After sending the fish, Ling Ran felt like he had lost something. He thought of Zhou Yizhou and the others, "Why haven't they come back yet?"
"Oh! Once you ask them to do something, you have to get used to letting them go. The construction team isn't sitting idle at home. They definitely need to make appointments or wait. Go check out the Beitou Mall! It should be nearing the rooftop."
Zhou Zuoping was also anxious. His son and Liu Xuewen had been out for more than ten days, so why hadn’t they come back yet?
