Luo Qiao and her companions drove backwards and arrived at Zifeng Commune at around 2:00 p.m. They had lunch there and booked a room at the guesthouse before driving to Dabai Village.

As soon as the car entered the village, the children shouted: "Bai Taifeng is back, Bai Taifeng is back."

During the slack season, most villagers were busy making hemp ropes. When they heard the shouting, they all ran out. The village cadres came over and invited them to go to the village and the village committee to rest for a while.

Lu Yichen asked Shitou to accompany Luo Qiao, Yanyan and Yueyue to rest there, while he took Taifeng with the prepared offerings and went to the grave of Bai Congjun and his wife to pay homage, accompanied by members of the Bai family.

Lu Yichen did not stay in front of the grave for long. He said a few simple words and then went to talk with the Bai family members. Bai Taifeng burned paper money for his parents while talking about his life and studies in the past year. Finally, he assured his parents not to worry, he was living well.

After they returned to the village, Bai Taifeng took the White Rabbit milk candies and biscuits that Luo Qiao had prepared in advance and distributed them to the children in the village. The children who had bullied Bai Taifeng in the past were too embarrassed to come forward.

The kids who used to be good friends with Bai Taifeng stayed by his side, asking him what the big city looked like, whether there were many cars, what they ate every day, what school was like, and why he didn't come back during the summer vacation. Bai Taifeng didn't feel disgusted at all, but told them everything about his life outside with a smile on his face.

When his friends found out that he didn't come back because he was attending training in the army during the summer vacation, they were all very envious and kept asking about his training.

Lu Yichen and Luo Qiao took their two daughters and Shitou for a walk around the village. Seeing that Bai Taifeng had almost finished chatting with his friends, they let him carry his things and go to the homes of the clan leader and the village chief.

When the villagers saw that Bai Taifeng was now tall and dressed like the city people, they were all envious. The Bai family members who were hiding in the dark were jealous and hateful.

Bai Taifeng's maternal family also came over after hearing the news. Seeing that everything was fine with the child, they were very grateful to Lu Yichen and his wife. After listening to their grandson talk about his life and studies in the past year, they were finally relieved.

Originally, the village wanted to arrange for them to stay in the village for one night, but when they heard that they had already booked a guesthouse in the commune, they did not force it.

They did stay in the village for dinner. In the afternoon, Luo Qiao took Shi Tou and her two daughters to chat with the villagers and learned that the children in the village all went to school in a village seven miles away.

Although Bai Congjun's family is not that good, most of the villagers are simple and honest. In the afternoon, there are quite a few children in the village, so it is enough to build a primary school.

There are many villages around Dabai Village. If a school is built in Dabai Village, children from the villages will have to travel less distance to go to school, and children in Dabai Village will no longer have to travel so far.

After hearing this, the village chief and the clan leader were so happy that they couldn't express it in words.

After dinner, Luo Qiao left Xu Shifan's pager number and office phone number with them before leaving the village, preparing to return to Beijing early the next morning.

The villagers of Dabai Village only found out about this the next day, and the whole village was in an uproar.

Bai Taifeng's uncle and aunt found the village chief and wanted to ask for favors, but the village chief scolded them and they were scared.

This Spring Festival, the marriage of Luo Siyuan and Geng Yanqiu was finally put on the agenda. In the past year, good things have happened to the Luo family. Luo Siyan was recommended by the army to attend military school.

Through his own efforts, Luo Siyuan was admitted to a correspondence university, majoring in accounting. In the previous six months, he had studied and practiced for a long time with an old accountant in the unit.

In the first month of the year, Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen accompanied the Luo family to propose marriage to Grandpa Geng. Things went very smoothly and the wedding date was set for March 29th. Grandpa Geng meant that they had to give some time to prepare a dowry for his granddaughter.

The Luo family could understand that the old couple of the Luo family had already started preparing the things needed for Luo Siyuan's wedding, and Luo Haotian, the father, only had to pay the money.

This year, inspired by Luo Qiao from time to time, Luo Xuyuan designed a four-wheel agricultural vehicle and a new type of seed drill for the machinery factory. The factory's net profit this year has increased several times over previous years.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The newly appointed factory director Luo Haotian became famous in the city. He was overwhelmed with orders and the workers were busy but happy. Although their wages did not increase much, the bonuses and benefits were great.
