Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"You go prepare a bit later; once I get off work this afternoon, I'll come pick you up, and then we'll go together to Shanggou Village to visit Wang Erhai!"

Zhou Hongwei also said this to Zhou Zhihao.

Zhou Zhihao was a bit bewildered, mainly because his thinking was rigid and he didn't know how to be flexible, so he actually asked:

"Second Uncle, what should I prepare?"

Zhou Hongwei immediately darkened his face, unable to help but scold him a couple of sentences:

"You're this old already, and you still don't understand human relations? Wang Erhai gave you such an opportunity, so naturally you have to buy some gifts to go thank him, to show your sincerity, understand?"

"I understand, I understand, but I don't have much money on me right now..."

Zhou Zhihao showed a bitter smile; this was the honest truth.

Wang Erhai is a Big Boss now.

Giving him some cheap gifts, he definitely wouldn't think much of them; it would only make oneself appear completely insincere!

But if the gifts were expensive, how could Zhou Zhihao afford them?

Zhou Hongwei was speechless, and could only say:

"Then you wait at home; before I get off work and head back, I'll stop by the tobacco and liquor store in the county town to buy them for you."

For this nephew, Zhou Hongwei could be said to have exhausted his thoughts.

No choice; who made him a family relative?

Family relative, if you can help, then you have to lend a hand.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work in the afternoon.

Zhou Hongwei went to Yinzuo Mall and bought a pack of Zhonghua Cigarettes and a bottle of Moutai Liquor, then drove his worn-out minivan to the town to pick up Zhou Zhihao.

Ever since he started working at Liguo Mountain, he had actually made quite a lot of money, but he still drove that same minivan he bought before; there was no other reason, just because it could still run, he couldn't bear to switch it.

Arriving at the town, his hometown side, Zhou Hongwei picked up Zhou Zhihao, and then immediately headed for Shanggou Village.

Before setting off, he also made a phone call to Wang Erhai, giving advance notice, so it wouldn't be too sudden.

These basic courtesies, Zhou Hongwei still did quite thoughtfully.

"Uncle Hongwei, it's already evening, you're still coming over?"

Upon learning Zhou Hongwei was coming over, Wang Erhai was somewhat surprised.

It wasn't that he was inhospitable, but it was a bit rushed, and he didn't know how to entertain them.

Zhou Hongwei spoke truthfully:

"Didn't we agree to let Zhihao go help you watch the farm? I thought I'd bring Zhihao over to your place tonight to meet, and if you have any instructions, you can tell him tonight, and then starting tomorrow, he can officially start work."

Wang Erhai heard this and also felt it was feasible.

Mainly because he also needed to quickly pull away from the farm side and return to Liguo Mountain to take charge of work.

So he said:

"Alright then, I'll go kill a chicken now; when you guys come over later, we'll make chicken pot together!"

Zhou Hongwei laughed:

"Good, good, I've already picked up Zhihao, we'll be there in a bit!"

Wang Erhai hung up the phone and immediately went to the farm to pick a chicken.

He brought it back to the hometown side, busy killing the chicken.

It's just a pity his chicken-killing skill wasn't as good as his mother's; one person busy for half the day, chicken blood splattered everywhere, but fortunately, in the end he still managed to kill the chicken.

Right when he was scalding the feathers, a minivan slowly drove in.

It was none other than Zhou Hongwei and Zhou Zhihao, the uncle and nephew duo, arriving.

While in the car, Zhou Hongwei handed the purchased cigarettes and liquor to Zhou Zhihao, and instructed him:

"Say more nice things with your mouth later, and do more things with your hands!"

Then he got out of the car.

"Erhai, we're here!"

Zhou Hongwei walked over laughing.

Wang Erhai hurriedly stood up:

"You guys go sit in the house first; I'll finish killing the chicken, and then we'll make chicken pot together!"

Zhou Hongwei said:

"No trouble, I'll come help you pluck the feathers!"

Finished speaking, he hurriedly squatted down, rolled up his sleeves, and went to help pluck the chicken feathers.

Zhou Zhihao behind him then busily said:

"General Manager Wang, this is a small token I brought for you, a small gesture, please accept it!"

Wang Erhai laughed warmly and said politely:

"Just coming is enough, why bring gifts, that creates distance!"

Zhou Hongwei hurriedly said:

"It's nothing, just a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of liquor; I originally didn't want Zhihao to spend money, but he insisted on buying for you, saying you gave him such a job opportunity, and he's very grateful!"

Wang Erhai heard this and couldn't help but be stunned.

Looking at Zhou Zhihao again, the whole person seemed a bit dazed; from the looks of it, he was somewhat nervous.

In his heart he thought, perhaps Zhou Zhihao really was very grateful to him for giving him such an opportunity.

If that were truly the case, then entrusting this farm to him would count as being able to rest easy.

"Since it's like this, then I'll accept this gift!"

Wang Erhai received the gift, then said:

"This liquor, tonight everyone will drink it together!"

Zhou Hongwei then said:

"Sure sure, no problem!"

Zhou Zhihao, however, said:

"Second Uncle, if you drink liquor, you won't be able to drive; tonight how will you go back?"

Zhou Hongwei laughed and said:

"If we drink too much, worst case we stay at Erhai's place for one night; the main thing is to be happy. Erhai, you say that's right, don't you?"

Wang Erhai laughed and said:

"My house has plenty of rooms for you to stay in, as long as you don't dislike them!"

At this time Zhou Hongwei spoke to Zhou Zhihao again:

"What are you standing there dazed for? Hurry up and put the cigarettes and liquor in the living room, then come out and help pluck chicken feathers!"

"Oh oh... I'm going right now!"

Zhou Zhihao hurriedly put the cigarettes and liquor on the living room table, then trotted out to help pluck chicken feathers.

Wang Erhai went to the kitchen side, took out the cutting board and kitchen knife.

Before long Zhou Zhihao and Zhou Hongwei had plucked the chicken feathers clean.

Wang Erhai gutted the chicken; he came to chop the chicken pieces, while Zhou Hongwei and Zhou Zhihao went to process the chicken kidneys and chicken intestines.

Before long, they had finished preparing the chicken.

Then they went to prepare some ginger, scallion, garlic, added soy sauce, peanut oil, edible salt, sesame, and other things, made them into seasoning, divided into one bowl per person.

Brought out the induction cooker, placed it on the tabletop.

Clear water boiled, then put in the chicken pieces.

The freshly blanched chicken pieces, put into the seasoning bowl, dipped in seasoning and immediately sent into the mouth — that feeling, truly a human-world delicacy!

Zhou Hongwei ate while praising:

"This free-range chicken, truly different from other chickens, so full of chicken flavor!"

Chicken having chicken flavor is the highest evaluation of chicken meat among people here.

Zhou Zhihao also hurriedly followed along praising:

"Indeed delicious, compared to the chicken meat I ate when working in the city, it's delicious many times over!"

Wang Erhai laughed:

"If it's delicious eat more; this one chicken weighs five or six jin, the three of us eating, I'm even afraid we won't finish it in one meal!"

Zhou Hongwei then said:

"Three big men, definitely can finish it; just afraid it won't be enough, and we'll have to go kill another one!"

Wang Erhai hurriedly went to bring over the Moutai liquor Zhou Zhihao had brought just now:

"I'll open the liquor, everyone drink together; Zhihao Ge, not that I'm saying you, in the future don't buy such good liquor, us rural people, no need to spend so much!"

Zhou Zhihao busily nodded: "Okay okay, listening to General Manager Wang."

Zhou Hongwei then said:

"Zhihao this kid, doesn't understand anything, but toward people and matters, he's absolutely sincere! Erhai, you now talk with him about how the farm should be run!"
