Zhang Weiyu wasn't just making excuses for his younger brothers; there really wasn't enough room this time. Otherwise, they would have gone together, which would have been good training for them.
They wanted to go back to their hometown, but Lu Jing and the others had to make arrangements.
First, we need to prepare all the food and supplies we need to take back with us.
As for their personal belongings, they prepared those themselves.
After dinner, Daniel called the four of them to his room. "These are the weapons I've prepared for you. There aren't many bullets, but I'll arrange it when I get back."
"Wow, brother, this gun is amazing!"
"These are all new products our family has developed, and their range is quite good. I've already given you the knife, and Dad also prepared these for you. Since we're going up the mountain this time, take them all with us."
"Great, great!" Zhang Ruifeng and Gu Yaozu were the happiest.
Zhang Zhenye fiddled with the pistol. "Brother, isn't it a bit inappropriate to give this to us? After all, these are the results of our family's research."
Daniel patted Zhang Zhenye on the shoulder, "It's okay, since I've taken it out, there's no problem."
"Brother, I'm afraid I'll treat you badly."
Daniel smiled, a particularly warm smile.
"Zhenye, it's really okay. I can't say that I'm completely open to you, but when we grow up, I won't hide anything from you anymore."
"Brother, this really puts me in a difficult position. To be honest, we need these technologies right now, but even though I know they belong to the family, I still can't help but ask someone to research them."
"Hehe, it's alright," Daniel chuckled. The family elders had brought up this topic when he took out the weapons.
"Brother, we are so sorry, but even though we don't know if we can succeed in the research, we will still take it."
"Well, I won't give you the blueprints. If you can figure it out, that's your own skill."
Zhang Zhenye looked at Daniel solemnly and said, "Brother, I appreciate your kindness."
Daniel smiled and patted Zhang Zhenye on the shoulder. He knew that Zhenye would be the godfather in the future, and he himself would inherit the McCann family business. That was good, really. He believed that the brothers would get along very well in the future.
The second and fourth brothers wouldn't get involved in this. That's the eldest brother's business; they were just happily fiddling with the guns in their hands.
"Boss, shall we give it a try?" The second and fourth brothers were very excited. Seeing that they had finally finished speaking, they quickly stepped forward to apply.
"You two calm down. Staying at home right now won't work. You'll have a chance to try your luck on the mountain."
The two were a little disappointed, but they knew that what their boss said was true.
"Alright, let's go back to our room and pack our luggage."
Daniel came out with them, but he went to find Zhang Hongmei.
"Mom, I'm so happy."
"Oh? What's wrong?"
"Mom, my brothers are really good."
"Hehe, I just hope that you brothers can live in harmony in the future."
"Mom, don't worry, I definitely will."
That night, Zhang Shouyi held his wife in his arms endlessly, as if he wanted to make up for the week they had been apart.
The training ended early the next morning. After breakfast, amidst the envious glances of the five children, the group set off.
Gu Yaozu was particularly excited. "Grandpa, this time we're going to hunt wild boar again."
"Go ahead, I'm just waiting to eat the wild boar you hunted. To be honest, stewed meat in a big pot is the best."
Liu Aimin received a call from Hongmei last night, so he got up early this morning to slaughter pigs and chickens.
When Da Shan's father learned that Hong Mei and the others were coming back, he happily asked a few people to help him.
"I just hope that Hongmei and the others can come back often," Liu Aimin said with a sigh.
"That's right, this girl is even more filial than your daughter and son."
"Yes, I am blessed."
The men worked very quickly. In two hours, the pig was slaughtered and the meat was divided up.
Hu Aifen and a few close friends set up two large pots in the yard to stew meat and ribs.
The old lady sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), a smile on her face. "Great, I'll see you again in a few months."
Everyone in the village knows that Liu Aimin's family is slaughtering a pig today. It's not even December yet, so the pig is being slaughtered quite early.
Wang Hongxi and his wife, along with their two children, were all at home. "Husband, something must have happened at Aimin's house."
Since stepping down as village chief, Wang Hongxi has become much more gloomy. He does hate Wang Xiaorui, but she is, after all, his daughter. What can he do even if he hates her?
So she doesn't talk much usually. Wang Hongxi roughly knew that Zhang Hongmei and the others were coming back, but Xia Tian had just returned, so why were they coming now?
There must be no one else. If it were someone else, they wouldn't have slaughtered a pig and made such a big fuss.
This morning when I went for a walk, I saw that Liu Aimin's family had gone to Zhang Hongmei's house to clean up, and they even started a fire.
I used to be very happy that Zhang Hongmei was able to come back, but now, it doesn't matter. I still have some resentment towards her, but I know it's my own problem and I can't blame anyone else.
"Honey, if Hongmei comes, I'll go find her and ask her to help Xiaorui find a job. It's not good for her to stay at home all the time at such a young age. Besides, having a job will make it easier for her to find a husband."
Wang Xiaorui lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) with her face turned towards Qiang, her face full of hatred.
That's just how my life is. Those with nothing to lose aren't afraid of those wearing shoes. Zhang Hongmei doesn't need to be beautiful, haha, I'm just afraid she won't come back.
That useless man is married now, and I have no hope left.
"Hmph! Go ahead, you won't even get through the door. You're all idiots. Someone like her, you didn't know how to befriend her before, and now you're begging her? How dare you?"
Wang Hongxi's wife kept her head down and didn't say anything. What could she say? That she thought back then, as the village chief's wife, she should be the one to fawn over her?
Obviously, I can't say that. That girl is easy to talk to, and I won't give up until I try.
Hearing her father's words, Wang Xiaorui felt even more resentful, but she didn't say anything. Ever since her father stopped being the village chief, the atmosphere at home had been particularly oppressive, and she didn't want to upset her parents and get kicked out. Otherwise, she would truly have nowhere to go.
Wang Hongxi really didn't want to go out; she felt like everyone was laughing at her. But she also hated staying at home with them, so she simply strolled up the mountain.
He wasn't stupid. He just stood at the foot of the mountain, staring blankly at it. He'd already survived the hardest and most difficult days, so what was there to be afraid of? He might as well not be the village chief anymore.
In truth, Wang Hongxi was somewhat disheartened. She had worked herself to the bone for everyone's livelihood, and even if she hadn't achieved anything significant, she had certainly put in the effort. But now, she was being forced to step down in such a shameful manner, which was simply unacceptable.
All my sincerity was wasted. They're all ungrateful wretches.
