Chapter 261

Before 6:30 on the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Su Xinghui was standing downstairs at his home, carrying two iron cages and a gift for the New Year's visit. A few minutes later, Peng Qiang drove Zhang Kaishan's car over.

Su Xinghui put the two iron cages and the gifts into the trunk. He saw that there were already a few boxes of pastries in the trunk.

Su Xinghui got into the car, and Peng Qiang started the engine and drove towards Jiangcheng.

Zhang Kaishan said a few words to Su Xinghui and then leaned back in his seat to sleep. This was his habit, especially when he got up early or at noon; he could fall asleep quickly in the car to replenish his energy and ensure he appeared energetic in front of others.

The snow had stopped for two days, and the snow on the road had been swept into the ditches on the side of the road. The road conditions were very good. The car drove for about fifty minutes and arrived at Qingyu Township. Su Xinghui directed Peng Qiang to drive the car to the entrance of the village where Yu Maode lived. He got out of the car, took the gift out of the trunk, and went to pay a New Year's visit to Yu Maode.

At this time, it was not yet 7:30, but rural people get up early, and the Yu family had already opened their front door.

Su Xinghui entered the Yu family home. His aunt was making breakfast, and his uncle and third cousin Yu Gaofeng were practicing martial arts in the backyard. Su Xinghui shouted, "Uncle, Aunt, I'm here to pay you a New Year's visit!"

Seeing Su Xinghui, his aunt said happily, "Xinghui is here. Why did you come so early? Just in time for breakfast."

Su Xinghui said, "Aunt, I can't eat breakfast. I'm going to Jiangcheng on business with our deputy county magistrate. His car is parked at the entrance of the village, and we have to get to Jiangcheng before 8:00."

Yu Maode stopped practicing martial arts and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, we have an appointment with provincial leaders."

Yu Maode said, "Then your work is important. I won't keep you. Go ahead."

His aunt muttered, "Really, you came from so far away, and you're leaving without even eating a meal."

Yu Gaofeng said, "Then come home to play when you're done with your business."

Su Xinghui said, "Okay, I will if I have time. By the way, tell my eldest and second cousins that I've been here, and tell my second cousin to page me if he has anything."

As he spoke, Su Xinghui ran outside. His aunt shook her head and said, "Xinghui is really busy now!"

Yu Maode slowly started practicing martial arts again and said, "Isn't it a good thing for young people to be busy?"

Su Xinghui returned to the car. Peng Qiang had already turned the car around and started driving directly to Jiangcheng.

Zhang Kaishan asked, "Your uncle's family lives here? What does he do? I think his house is quite nice."

Su Xinghui said, "He is a famous old physician in this area with very brilliant medical skills. My father's study of medicine was influenced by him. His second son is the Yu Gaoshan who specializes in purchasing game from the Yezhugou Village special breeding farm."

Zhang Kaishan certainly remembered Yu Gaoshan. He nodded and said, "So it's him. Last time he was wronged in Shangjun County. If there is time when we come back, I must go to their house to pay a New Year's visit."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, I might not be able to come back with you today."

Zhang Kaishan asked curiously, "Why, do you have something else to do?"

Su Xinghui said, "I have to pay a New Year's visit to my teachers, as well as several agricultural experts who have been to Menghuling. In addition, I have also made an appointment with several university classmates to get together in Jiangcheng, so I'm afraid I can't go back today."

Zhang Kaishan smiled and nodded, "Okay, go ahead and do what you need to do."
