Chapter 348: "Part of the reason for the road is to solicit the help of the Party Village Secretary; the other part is to have some good karma." (2)

“What’s the matter?” asked Feng Zeyu when he saw Shu Yan pondering over something after he was done talking to the village head.
“I am thinking about my donation from before. I thought 50,000 yuan was a lot already but now it looked like my assumption was wrong. I need to touch base with Third Brother. It was my idea and I can’t let him spend that much money.”
Feng Zeyu only new that Shu Yan had made a donation but didn’t know the details. Now it looked like the road to pave was quite long.
Feng Zeyu took Shu Yan to his old troop for a tour the next day. Technically they were not allowed inside but Lin Dazhi looked for their old superior. This old superior loved Feng Zeyu and quickly had someone showed them in when he heard that Feng Zeyu was there.
“It had changed so much.” Feng Zeyu lamented when he looked around the base.
“You have been gone for years. It’s only normal that things had changed.” Lin Dazhi pointed at a building and asked Feng Zeyu if he still remembered what that was for.
After having lunch there, Tianbao looked around and said softly, “Mom, I want to join the military when I grow up.”
Shu Yan glanced over at him. And she wanted to be a scientist when she was young. Look at her now.
When the province found out that Feng Zeyu wanted to donate money to pave the road, the immediately sent someone out to meet up with him. They ended up not talking a lot about fixing up the road but they solicited him for investments. They stressed for Feng Zeyu to help out the grassland that he had one stayed.
It was obvious that these people did not have personal agendas. They truly wanted to help the province brought in some money. This area was just too poor.
Shu Yan looked at the flocks of sheep outside and pondered. Hu Ruixue was already planning on starting a women’s clothing line and they would most likely start their marketing in a couple of months, right around the fall clothing time. Cashmere was a must for fall and winter clothing. And wool would be needed for all sorts of clothing like wool coat, scarves, hats, socks……
“I might have an opportunity for you.”
Those from the province looked over at Shu Yan after she spoke.
“This is……?”
“She is my girlfriend. She is in the clothing business.” When he heard Shu Yan, Feng Zeyu knew that she only brought up the idea after careful considerations.
Clothing business? The eyes of those who were there to solicit business lit up. Clothing business was great. If they could have a wool factory there, that would add a lot of employment opportunities and the herdsmen in the province would be able to have income.
“That is just a thought right now. I will need to send someone over to look into it in details. I can’t just make that call.” Shu Yan explained with a smile and then went on to say, “Besides, I am here for vacation. As such, I would rather not talk about work. I will call up my people at the company later and you can reach out to them directly.”
Her words did not discourage them. Shu Yan was the boss, if she was willing to invest in this area, it was unlikely that her employees would go against her wish.
They looked for the village head and had him take good care of Shu Yan and Feng Zeyu. The province would cover their expenses there. As for the road, the province could shell out some money as well. Not a whole lot, but at least they would contribute some.
The four of them spent a week in the grassland and those from the province, just like they had promised, never came to bother them again. Shu Yan learned to make yogurt and cheese from the herdsmen. Cheese was too complicated but she could try making yogurt at home.
The two children became close friends with Jinshan from the village head’s family and they would ride the little horse and wandered around every day. They even delivered a little lamb with Jinshan yesterday.
“Mom, little lambs are so magical. They can stand up and even walk shortly after they are born,” said Tianbao to Shu Yan excitedly.
“Oh? Is that so?”
“Yes. He also said that I can have the little lamb. Mom, can we bring it home with us?” Tianbao blinked as he looked at Shu Yan. JingJing didn’t say anything but she looked at Tianbao with anticipation.
“The lamb is so small. It will die if it doesn’t get its mother’s milk.” Shu Yan was very baffled. He wanted to bring a lamb home with him? Kids really have all sorts of crazy ideas.
“Then can we bring its mother too? That way the lamb won’t starve to death,” said Tianbao immediately.
“Mother sheep belongs to Grandpa Village Head. If you take her away, Grandpa Village Head and his family will have no money for food. Have you thought about that, Tianbao and JingJing?” Shu Yan looked at them solemnly. “Same goes for the little lamb. It is what Grandpa Village Head and his family relies on for their income. Jinshan was being polite when he said you can have it. And you just accepted it like that?”
“Then can we buy it?” asked Tianbao, dispirited.
“Buy it and bring it home with us? Have you forgotten how we got here?”
JingJing shuddered at the thought of squeezing inside their cabin with mother sheep and shook her head immediately, “Never mind.”
“Alright, Mommy will buy you a puppy when we returned to City Nan. Puppies are cute too and it will also protect you.” Shu Yan had been thinking about that for a while now, especially after they bought the house with a yard.
“Allllright,” replied Tianbao begrudgingly.
