Seeing Goudan eating with relish, Chen Yitang smiled with satisfaction. The way Goudan ate was so much like his mother when she was a child!
If I hadn't been busy preparing medicinal herbs at the time, and my daughter wanted to eat cake, and I kept telling her to wait and that I would take her there later, but never took her there, she wouldn't have run around and been kidnapped by the kidnapper.
Thinking of this, Chen Yitang took a piece of cake and gave it to Zeng Wenjuan. Zeng Wenjuan was originally looking at Goudan, but when she saw the cake handed to her, she raised her head.
"You eat one too... When you were lost, you wanted to eat a piece of cake. All these years when I was looking for you, I always carried a piece of cake with me. I was afraid that when I found you, you would blame your father for not buying you a cake and be unwilling to come back to me." Chen Yitang explained.
Zeng Wenjuan is not a little girl anymore, she is a mother now. She can understand the look in a father's eyes when he loves his child, so she accepted the piece of cake, but she didn't know how to get along with this "father".
Chen Yitang couldn't help but smile when he saw Zeng Wenjuan took the cake. He was about to say something when Zeng Wenjuan stood up.
"Goudan...you stay and chat with this grandpa. I'm going to the kitchen to make lunch. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay." Goudan replied obediently, and Zeng Wenjuan left the kitchen, feeling like she was escaping in panic. Goudan ate the cake and read a book beside him.
Chen Yitang stood there, neither sitting nor standing. He could see that his daughter didn't want to be with him, but he really missed her too much.
"Do you understand what you are reading? You haven't started school yet!" Chen Yintang sat down next to Goudan hesitantly. Seeing that Goudan was reading a primary school Chinese textbook, he asked curiously.
After hearing the question, Goudan looked up at Chen Yitang. He shook his head and said, "I'm still young. My family has no money and we owe grandpa a lot of money."
"You owe grandpa a lot of money?" Chen Yintang was a little shocked and puzzled. Of course he knew that this grandpa was not talking about himself, but Nannan's adoptive parents. Why would they owe money?
Goudan nodded: "Well... the family owes a lot of money, but when I grow up I will help mother pay it off. Then mother won't have to work so hard."
Chen Yitang touched Goudan's head distressedly. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Child, where is your father? You must have suffered a lot these years! Didn't he stand by you and protect you and your mother?"
Goudan shook his head, looked at Chen Yitang and said, "No, my father is a soldier, and my mother said he is a hero. We have to take care of ourselves, and we will go find dad after we pay off the debt."
"Good boy, you are so obedient! Your mother was so obedient and sensible when she was little. Grandpa will help you pay off your debts. Please persuade your mother to go home with grandpa! Your grandma has been waiting for you at home!" Chen Yintang said comfortingly, touching Goudan's head.
"No need, we can pay off the debt ourselves, you just take care of yourself." Just at this time Zeng Wenjuan came into the main room with a bowl of fried fruits.
Chen Yitang saw the bowl in Zeng Wenjuan's hand and stood up to take it, but Zeng Wenjuan dodged him: "It's just out of the pot, it's still hot. Wait until it cools down before eating."
"Okay... you don't have to do so much. I prepared some cold dishes, including cold-mixed pig ears and braised beef in soy sauce. Someone just mentioned it and forgot to take it out." Chen Yintang took out some food from the package he brought.
Zeng Wenjuan took it and nodded: "Well, I'll just cook two dishes. Please help take care of Dian Goudan!" Chen Yintang nodded in agreement with a smile. Who wouldn't be unwilling to take care of their grandson!

At the same time, Zhao Zhaocai and Deng Nu also came to Axe Village. When they returned to Deng Nu's parents' home, it happened that Deng Nu's 70-year-old father and 70-year-old mother were at home.
Seeing the two of them coming back, Deng's mother was a little shocked: "Well... why did you two come to our house today? Don't you have to go to work? Or did Zhao Maohua bully you?"
"No, this is not Zhaocai thinking of your way of making money. We just want to remember the people of Axe Village! It just so happens that I am also the village chief." Ms. Deng said with a smile.
After hearing this, Father Deng immediately smiled and said, "Oh, you are indeed my good grandson, you are so sensible! Your uncle just went to the fields, I will go and call him back."
When Village Chief Deng came back, he greeted Zhao Zhaocai with a smile: "Zhaocai, not bad! All those years of studying were not in vain. You graduated with your brother Weiming. He went to work in the steel mill, and you are farming in the countryside. I thought you were going to be a failure for the rest of your life!"
Zhao Zhaocai regretted it at this time. Why did he look for his uncle's family when he already had ways to make money? They deserved to be poor. People like them should not have money.
But he still pretended well, and smiled modestly: "Uncle, I am indeed dumber than Brother Weiming. But a slow bird can still fly if it tries hard. I have something I want to discuss with you alone."
Village Chief Deng was disdainful in his heart, but still said with a smile: "Then come to my study, we can talk alone." In fact, it was just a small separate room, purely for decoration.
The two were discussing their future plans in the study. After hearing Zhao Zhaocai's plan, Village Chief Deng was slightly shocked that his nephew was so smart.
"Have you negotiated with the pharmacy yet? How confident are you that you can get this business?" asked Village Chief Deng.
Zhao Zhaocai shook his head: "Although I haven't negotiated with them yet, I believe that as long as I discuss it with them, they will definitely agree." This is not self-confidence, but Zhao Zhaocai still has half of the remaining ginseng in his hand. As long as he takes this, the other party will definitely give him face.
"If that's the case, then wait until you've got the deal and then come back to me. Otherwise, if we establish the credit union but fail to get your order, it will be of no use at all and a waste of time." Village chief Deng said unhappily.
Zhao Zhaocai didn't expect his uncle to be so disrespectful. He immediately said in a cold voice: "Uncle, we can only go out and talk business with people after we build the credit union first, don't you think so? Otherwise, how can we talk about this business?"
"Anyway, since the deal hasn't been made, I won't waste my time on this. Just go back to where you came from." Village Chief Deng started to speak impolitely and didn't even want to treat the mother and son to a meal.
This made Zhao Zhaocai even more furious. He banged the door open. He walked to the main room and said to Ms. Deng, "Mom, let's go back. Since uncle doesn't want to make this money, we won't help him make it. We can do it ourselves."
