Chapter 143 Is this acceptable?
Upon seeing this, Zhao Jianmin and his father were both taken aback and quickly declined, saying:
"Zhaoyuan, this is unacceptable! How can we accept so much money?"
However, Zhao Yuan smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said:
He first carefully inspected all areas of the breeding site, and then asked the relevant person in charge about the work arrangements during the Spring Festival.
Zhao Yuan instructed that proper arrangements must be made for the staff's work schedule during the Spring Festival to ensure a smooth holiday.
Li Yong, the factory director, is not from Zhaojia Village. From the day he took over as director of Zhao's Pig Farm, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work.
He is extremely serious and responsible in his work, managing the pig farm in an orderly manner with his solid professional knowledge and excellent management skills. It can be said that Li Yong is extremely passionate about this job, and his dedication is truly admirable. Since he came to Zhaojia Village, he has not even taken a single day off.
"Director Li, you've worked hard. You can leave the pig farm to Zhao Jieyuan and Yu Hongmei. Go home for the New Year. You can come back on the sixth day of the new year."
Zhao Yuan said.
"Okay, I've finished arranging the Spring Festival duty roster. I'll be back on the second day of the Lunar New Year."
Li Yong said.
"You haven't been home for so long, why don't you spend more time with your parents?"
Zhao Yuan asked.
"Zhaoyuan, you don't know yet, do you? He's coming back to be with his wife."
Yu Hongmei interjected with a smile.
"Hmm, what's going on?"
Zhao Yuan asked with a smile.
"Zhaoyun, the village beauty. The two of them are really getting along well."
Yu Hongmei said with a smile.
"That's great! Zhaoyun's family are all honest people, and Zhaoyun is a good girl. When will we get some candy?"
Zhao Yuan asked jokingly.
"I'm planning to get engaged after the New Year and go home to discuss with my parents when to get married."
Li Yong said somewhat embarrassedly.
“The wedding house should be set up in our Zhaojia Village, but I can’t be a live-in son-in-law. How about this, let’s apply for a place to build a house.”
Zhao Yuan said.
Is this okay?
Li Yong asked.
"Of course you can. Go find Secretary Jianguo."
Zhao Yuan said.
"Okay, I'll go look for it after the New Year."
Li Yong said with a smile.
"Remember to pay your New Year's greetings first."
Zhao Yuan reminded him.
Zhao Yuan asked Li Yong to drive the tractor from the pig farm home.
When Zhao Yuan returned to the county town, he first went to Zhao's Food Factory. The factory had already stopped production, and there were only two security guards on duty and patrolling in shifts.
Zhao Yuan inspected the factory and then drove home.
According to local custom, on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, married daughters return to their parents' home to pay New Year's greetings and give gifts.
The morning sunlight streamed through the window and onto the dining table, where the family sat together enjoying a cozy breakfast.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhao Yuan began busily packing up.
He loaded a full ten pounds of fresh pork into the trunk, including a succulent pork leg. Then, he carefully placed in a box of fragrant sausages, a box of instant noodles, a box of colorful candies, and a box of delicious braised dishes. In addition, there were two bottles of fine wine and two cartons of popular Daqianmen cigarettes. With everything ready, Zhaoyuan called his three children to go with him to his father-in-law's house.
This is Zhao Yuan's first visit to his father-in-law's house since he transmigrated!
However, his wife, Lin Fangfang, was very reluctant to go on this trip.
Although she knew in her heart that there were many things about her family that she was dissatisfied with, especially her father's behavior, which made her feel very disappointed, it was still the place where she was born and raised. Blood is thicker than water, and no matter how bad her father was, she could not sever that kinship.
As for the children, they were equally uninterested in going to their maternal grandfather's house, and all of them seemed listless.
Seeing his two daughters looking sullen, Zhaoyuan smiled and encouraged them:
"Zhaodi, Laidi, cheer up!"
However, Zhao Laidi raised her head and asked with a puzzled look:
"Grandpa and the others don't like us, so why should we go?"
Zhao Yuan patiently explained:
"Because he is your mother's father. No matter what, this kinship cannot be changed."
Hearing this, Zhao Laidi nodded as if she understood, and softly responded:
"Oh."
But judging from her expression, she still hadn't fully grasped the deeper meaning.
As Zhao Yuan and Lin Fangfang's car slowly approached the Lin family home, they saw Lin Xuemei standing in front of the door with a group of children, waiting.
Meanwhile, a flurry of busy sounds came from the kitchen. It turned out that Zhao Sanhai and his sister-in-law were busily preparing a sumptuous meal.
Lin Xuefang's brother passed away from illness two years ago, so now every year when she returns to her parents' home for the Lunar New Year, her sister-in-law leads Lin Fangfang and Zhao Sanhai to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner together.
Her younger sister never goes into the kitchen.
"Oh, look! Our busy sister and brother-in-law have finally arrived! If they had come even a little bit later, the food would probably have been all eaten up!"
Lin Xuefang, with her sharp eyes, spotted her sister and brother-in-law's car parked steadily in front of their house and immediately shouted at the top of her lungs.
The car came to a stop, and Lin Fangfang got out, carrying the adorable Zhao Nana, ignoring her younger sister Lin Xuefang's teasing.
Zhao Zhaodi and Zhao Laidi also got off the bus. As soon as the children saw Zhao Zhaodi and Zhao Laidi, they ran over excitedly, grabbed the two sisters' hands tightly, and happily led the two sisters away.
"Be careful and don't play near the water."
Lin Fangfang said to the children's backs.
After getting out of the car, Zhao Yuan deftly opened the trunk and began carrying various gifts into the house, trip after trip. Before long, the once spacious main room was filled with a mountain of items.
"Dad, these cigarettes were bought especially for you."
Lin Fangfang and Zhao Yuan spotted the old man sitting in the chair at a glance and called out in unison.
As he spoke, Zhao Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully handed over two packs of cigarettes and a red envelope.
"Hey."
Old Lin, with his beloved pipe dangling from his mouth, responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
Then, he extended his slightly withered hands and slowly accepted the cigarettes and red envelope.
However, it was really hard to tell from his weathered face whether he was happy or not.
Wow! Brother-in-law, you brought so much stuff!
Lin Xuefang stared wide-eyed at the room full of items, and couldn't help but exclaim:
"Dad, we really can't compare to my brother-in-law. He's a very successful and successful businessman!"
Her face was full of envy and jealousy.
At this moment, Old Man Lin, sitting to the side, frowned slightly and muttered with some dissatisfaction:
