Chapter 755: This is a Good Omen

Yuan Ying nodded, "Chairman of Jiangzhou Yugong Group. Yugong Wine, Jiang Xiaobai, Iced Black Tea, and Very Cola are all products under Yugong Group. Our Meng TV station even broadcasts his advertisements every night, the one that says 'I endorse myself'."

The old branch secretary didn't understand these things, nor did he watch TV, because in the entire Zhenxing Village, there were not many families with TVs, and anyway, his family didn't have one.

"I heard from your father that your aunt's family is coming back?"

"Yes!"

Yuan Ying felt strange. Under the propaganda of her family, the whole village almost knew about it.

Moreover, the old branch secretary had asked more than once when her aunt would be back. Had he forgotten so quickly?

She hadn't heard that the old branch secretary suffered from Alzheimer's disease.

The old branch secretary didn't speak again, holding the tobacco pouch, grinding the tobacco leaves with his fingers, and pressing them hard into the tobacco pipe bowl.

Then he took out a match, struck it, roasted it on the pipe bowl, and while roasting, puffed away.

Soon, the pipe bowl was lit, and smoke was puffed out of the old branch secretary's mouth, and then it was blown away by the wind carrying heat waves.

"Old Branch Secretary!"

Yuan Ying called out softly. The old branch secretary's appearance made her very worried.

Could it be that the illness was so serious? Had he forgotten what he just said?

What to do? The old branch secretary is the anchor of Zhenxing Village. If he has problems, the future of Zhenxing Village is worrying.

Guan Shanyuan looked up at Yuan Ying. He didn't know that this girl had a lot of inner drama, as if she had made a great determination.

"If your aunt comes back, tell them, no matter who asks, don't agree to invest here."

Yuan Ying was stunned, then reacted. She wanted to say something, but Guan Shanyuan had already stood up and left.

Looking at the old branch secretary's slightly hunched back, her brows were tightly furrowed. She heard something unusual in the old branch secretary's words, which also made her think of a lot.

Then she returned home with a heavy heart. Her mother-in-law, Li Fenglan, was feeding the mule, and her husband, Chen Yuan, was cutting grass with a guillotine.

A small yellow native dog was frolicking in the grass pile, covering itself with grass clippings.

When it saw Yuan Ying enter the courtyard, it barked and rushed over, wagging its tail.

Several old hens looking for food were frightened by the little yellow dog and scattered, dust flying.

A big white goose stretched its neck, honking and rushing towards the little yellow dog, opening its mouth to bite.

The little yellow dog's tail was bitten by the big white goose, and the little yellow dog let out a miserable cry.

Yuan Ying raised her leg and kicked the big white goose away. The big white goose honked and rushed towards Yuan Ying.

Yuan Ying picked up a wooden stick from the wall by the door and hit the big white goose on the head.

With this hit, the big white goose became honest and ran away honking.

"Mom!" Yuan Ying said expressionlessly, "This goose always chases people and bites them. Kill it tonight and stew it with potatoes."

Li Fenglan turned her head and looked at her daughter-in-law in surprise. When her eldest grandson had his birthday in April, she wanted to kill this goose, but Yuan Ying couldn't bear it. Why did she suddenly want to kill it today?

No, Yuan Ying's complexion was a bit wrong, then she turned around and glared at her son fiercely. It must be this little brat who made her daughter-in-law angry again.

Watching Yuan Ying enter the house, Li Fenglan put down the forage in her hand, came behind her son, and kicked her son who was sorting grass bundles with his butt up.

"Ouch!"

Chen Yuan lost his balance and fell into the grass pile.

"Little brat!" Li Fenglan turned her head to look at the house and cursed in a low voice, "Did you make Xiao Ying angry?"

"How would I dare to make her angry? Wasn't it fine after lunch?" Chen Yuan climbed out of the grass pile in a daze, "At that time, the old branch secretary used the loudspeaker to call her to the brigade headquarters. Did something happen?"

"That's right!"

Li Fenglan muttered. Seeing her son still standing there stupidly, she got angry and kicked her son again.

"Are you dead? Your wife is unhappy, don't you know how to go in and ask?"

"Ah? Ah!" Chen Yuan patted the grass clippings on his body and ran into the house, "What's wrong!"

Looking at Chen Yuan's concerned eyes, Yuan Ying sighed and told him what the old branch secretary said.

"Uncle Lao Guan asked me several times when my aunt would be back. He must also want to attract investment, but now he actually asked me to stop it."

Chen Yuan pondered for a while: "Didn't you ask Uncle Lao Guan why?"

Yuan Ying shook her head: "He didn't give me a chance. He left after speaking."

Regarding this eldest brother-in-law Zhou Andong, Chen Yuan had heard of him long ago. He was a college student, but as for what he did, he didn't know.

It was only in the last half year that he finally knew how awesome his eldest brother-in-law was.

Knowing that his aunt and this awesome eldest brother-in-law's family were coming back, he was also very excited and had been looking forward to it.

Especially in the last month, he had drunk a lot of Very Cola and Iced Black Tea, and he kept all the bottle caps, ready to redeem prizes.

"Wait for Dad to come back, ask Dad!"

Yuan Ying's father-in-law is a teacher at the town primary school and is one of the few educated people in the village.

"I'll go home and see." Yuan Ying stood up and walked out.

Chen Yuan hurriedly chased after her: "I'm going too!"

"What are you going for?" Li Fenglan shouted.

Chen Yuan waved his hand: "Go to my father-in-law's place."

"Are you coming back for dinner tonight?" Li Fenglan shouted again.

"Eat!" Chen Yuan's voice came from outside the gate, "You kill that big goose, stew it now, and it will be ready when my dad gets off work."

"Kill my ass!" At this time, Yuan Ying's roar was heard, "Wait until Aunt comes back before killing it."

Li Fenglan scanned the area, then fixed her eyes on the big goose that was shaking its butt and wandering around, and the murderous intent in her eyes gradually dissipated.

"Let you live for two more days."

Town government, Vice Town Mayor Yuan Hongbiao, with a cigarette in his mouth, put his feet on the desk, playing with three dice in his hand.

The office door was pushed open with a creak, and a thin young man in his thirties walked in.

This guy was holding a briefcase under his arm, combing a 3/7 traitor hairstyle, wearing a suit, and even wearing a tie in the hot weather.

It's just that the suit was a bit big, swaying on him, especially the collar of the white shirt inside, a circle of black was very conspicuous.

And the leather shoes on his feet were actually Goldlion. It was a bit of a waste to wear them on his feet. I don't know how many days they hadn't been polished, they were all covered in dirt.

As soon as this guy came in, he picked up the water cup and kettle, poured a cup of cold boiled water, and gulped it down.

Yuan Hongbiao lifted his eyelids: "Is there anything going on at the mine?"

"Nothing!" The young man shook his head, "When can that Zhou Andong come?"

Yuan Hongbiao put his feet down, took the cigarette butt out of his mouth, and pressed it into the ashtray.

"Should be soon!"

The young man asked: "Can you really persuade him to invest?"

Yuan Hongbiao laughed, shook his hand, and the three dice fell on the desk, spinning wildly, and slowly stopped. It was actually three sixes.

"Six six six, leopard, this is a good omen."
