Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Erhai and Zhang Yueran drove back to a wonton shop near the residential complex; the two ate a simple bowl of wontons, and Zhang Yueran couldn't wait to go home.

When she and Wang Erhai got home, they had just closed the living room door and hadn't even walked into the living room yet when they embraced and kissed right there in the entryway.

Dry tinder and fierce fire, burning blazingly.

Over an hour later, Zhang Yueran went to the bathroom to shower; after showering she had to go back to school.

Wang Erhai sat on the living room sofa, his face inevitably showing some weariness.

"Honey, hand me a towel!"

Zhang Yueran's voice came from the bathroom, along with the sound of the shower running.

Wang Erhai went to the drying rack on the balcony, pulled down a towel, then came to the bathroom door and handed the towel inside.

"Thanks, honey! I have a feeling this time I'll get pregnant."

Zhang Yueran wiped the water off her body with the towel, smiling as she said this.

"For real? Is your feeling accurate?" Wang Erhai smiled.

He actually wanted a child quite a bit himself.

But ever since they started trying to conceive, Zhang Yueran's belly had shown no movement at all.

For the sake of trying to conceive, he had even quit smoking.

This time he didn't smoke a single cigarette afterward, he felt a bit uncomfortable, and that was why his face looked weary.

"Definitely accurate!"

Zhang Yueran's tone was very firm.

Who knows what basis she had for it.

A woman's feeling is like that — purely intuition, no basis.

But still, sometimes it's surprisingly accurate.

"Honey, do you think I'm carrying a boy or a girl?"

Zhang Yueran asked this question at this moment.

Wang Erhai was a bit at a loss whether to cry or laugh:

"It's still early days — not even a hint yet — how would I know if it's a boy or a girl?"

"Just guess!"

Wang Erhai thought for a moment, then said:

"I guess it's a boy."

Zhang Yueran, however, said:

"Then you might be disappointed; my feeling says it's a girl. Honey, if it's a girl, would you dislike her?"

"What are you thinking." Wang Erhai was at a loss whether to cry or laugh, "A boy or a girl are equally good; how could I possibly dislike my own child."

After Zhang Yueran finished showering and came out dressed, Wang Erhai also went to clean up.

The time was about right.

Zhang Yueran then went to school for class.

And Wang Erhai returned to Shanggou Village for a trip.

The farm in Shanggou Village — he had to find someone to help guard it.

Now his mother Li Xiulan had gone to Guangzhou to his eldest brother and sister-in-law, so even if he wanted Li Xiulan to come guard it, he couldn't make it happen.

But to find someone else, he absolutely had to find someone trustworthy.

Who could be trusted?

Wang Erhai felt inevitably melancholy.

Before, the first person he would think of was definitely Liang Xinghua.

What a pity that Liang Xinghua, this white-eyed wolf, completely doesn't know gratitude; not knowing gratitude would be one thing, but he repeatedly did stupid things that harmed the Wang Family.

Might as well just sell the farm.

This thought floated up in Wang Erhai's mind.

But the next second, he rejected it himself.

His agricultural products distribution company had only just been established recently; if he sold the farm, how would his agricultural products distribution company carry on?

He didn't want that company to go bankrupt before it had even been open long.

Besides, that was his fallback.

The CEO position at Liguo Mountain still isn't secure yet; he absolutely cannot cut off his own fallback at this time.

If later he has to step down from the CEO position at Liguo Mountain, and both the farm and the agricultural products company are gone, wouldn't he have lost both wife and army — a total loss?

After returning to Shanggou Village.

Wang Erhai walked a circle around the village.

He smiled and greeted everyone he saw.

The village basically only has the old, weak, sick, and disabled left; there's really no way to pick a suitable candidate.

What about entrusting this important task to Yao Aina?

Yao Aina has already worked for the farm for a good stretch of time; she's familiar with everything on the farm.

But Wang Erhai also felt that Yao Aina, an old woman, helping to feed the chickens and weed the fruit trees was fine, but to have her systematically manage the entire farm, that probably wouldn't work.

Yao Aina still had to cook three meals a day for her son and grandson, unable to devote herself fully to the farm's management.

Her son Zhang Zhiqiang was a cripple who couldn't care for himself, and her grandson Zhang Jiajun was still young and also needed someone to look after him.

Think as he might, he still couldn't find a suitable candidate.

Right at this moment, Wang Erhai's mobile phone rang.

He took it out to look, and it was surprisingly Zhou Hongwei calling.

Zhou Hongwei, He Dashu, and Zhao Shoutian — the three of them were already old employees of Liguo Mountain.

When the company was first founded, Wang Erhai pulled the three of them and Liang Xinghua into the company to work as supervisors.

Zhou Hongwei later even became the head of the Supervisor Department.

He Dashu and Zhao Shoutian, on the other hand, were honest and dutiful, remaining members of the supervisor team all along.

Later, Liguo Mountain went through a high-level struggle, and Wang Erhai had no choice but to leave Liguo Mountain.

However, Zhang Sheng had promised Wang Erhai that he would treat those fellow townsmen of his well, so later, although Wang Erhai left, the three of them inside Liguo Mountain were still able to work as usual and did not suffer any mistreatment.

And now, Wang Erhai was about to return to Liguo Mountain and take the CEO position; this news had long since spread inside the company.

So Zhou Hongwei called at the first moment to celebrate:

"Erhai, you're something else, killing your way back to Liguo Mountain again!"

Wang Erhai laughed humbly:

"Uncle Hongwei, you might not believe it, but I actually didn't plan to go back; they're the ones who insisted I return."

Zhou Hongwei laughed and said:

"I get it. Without you, Liguo Mountain just lacks something. To tell the truth, these days while you've been gone, Dahe, Shoutian, and I have had no heart for work, all thinking about whether to resign, but then thinking that if we quit we won't find such high-paying jobs elsewhere, so we all endured and stayed!"

This was the honest truth from Zhou Hongwei; the reason they stayed after Wang Erhai left was entirely because the salary was high — it was just that realistic!

"Why not find a time later, I'll bring Dashu and Shoutian along to your hometown to celebrate for you, and also conveniently visit your dad; it's been so long since we contacted your dad!"

Zhou Hongwei made this suggestion at this time.

Wang Erhai gave a bitter laugh:

"Uncle Hongwei, my dad has passed away."

"Wh... what?" Zhou Hongwei was immediately shocked beyond measure.

Wang Zhanggen wasn't actually very old, not even sixty yet, yet he had passed away; Zhou Hongwei truly didn't expect it!

"Th-this, how did this happen? A perfectly fine person..."

Zhou Hongwei found it somewhat difficult to accept.

Wang Erhai then said:

"Liver cancer, later it metastasized throughout his body; he passed away not long ago."

Zhou Hongwei sighed:

"Life and death are fated, wealth and honor are in heaven; please accept my condolences. Your dad gave birth to you three brothers and got to enjoy some blessings, so his trip to this world wasn't in vain."

"Mm, right, my farm in Shanggou Village wants to find someone to help manage it; Uncle Hongwei, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

Zhou Hongwei said:

"You've come to the right person! My nephew just returned from outside not long ago, and he's worried about not having a job; why not let him go help you manage the farm!"
