Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Mother rejected Chen Weizheng's suggestion to travel to Nanliu for half a month.
She was really worried about Ren Guoan, but she couldn't bear to discourage the children's enthusiasm. Finally, she proposed a compromise: a three-day tour in the Red River.
Chen Weizheng and the others already knew what their mother meant when they heard her suggestion. Then, they heard their mother say, "Your Uncle Ren doesn't know how to cook or wash clothes. I'm afraid that after three days, the house will become a dog kennel."
"Mom!" Li Hui smiled and said, "You've raised dad like a child!"
"Okay!" Chen Weizheng agreed and said, "Little Hui is more familiar with the Red River than I am. We'll leave the three-day tour to Little Hui."
"The first choice for a three-day tour is the sea, but brother and sister-in-law just came back from the seaside, so we'll cancel this plan. Next is a mountain tour. 120 kilometers southwest of the city, there's a national forest park. There are hot springs, rafting, wilderness, and specialty products. We can go there for three days to avoid the summer heat. That place is not far from Qingshui. If dad has something to do, we can get home in two hours with a call. "Li Hui suggested.
Everyone agreed. They went shopping in the morning and left in the afternoon to have dinner in the forest park.
120 kilometers away from the park, the temperature dropped by five degrees. Staying in the forest park at night, Chen Weizheng said goodbye to the air conditioner that was basically there in the summer. The wind in the forest brought the humidity of the mountains, and the fresh air made people feel comfortable. Staying in the forest park, Chen Weizheng felt as if he had returned to Longshan and entered the primitive landscape of Qingshan Town. He didn't know how the military experimental zone was going. There was no official notice from the higher-ups, which made Chen Weizheng feel very uneasy.
In the afternoon, Ou Jie called and said that the Longshan Automobile Factory's Longshan Yunlong cars were waiting for goods again. A few big dealers had a lot of complaints because of the shortage of goods. The lowest model of 85,000 yuan was sold for 110,000 yuan in the market, and it was still hard to get one. In the current market, this was the only electric scooter that could compete with 1.5 or 1.6 golden displacement sedans. There was a huge demand for it. Ou Jie asked if they could increase the production. Wang Hongtao felt that it would not cost much to set up another production line, and it would be completely localized. Only by increasing the production to about 50,000 units per month could they barely meet the market demand. Chen Weizheng knew that they were attracted by the benefits in front of them. He also knew that the market potential was indeed huge, so he agreed to increase production. Ou Jie said that there should be no problem with the production of 50,000 vehicles by the end of October at the latest. All of them would be 100,000 vehicles with high quality equipment, and they would no longer produce low-quality vehicles. Tomorrow, they would start the publicity campaign.
Hu Guoping also reported on Fenglin Factory's situation over the phone. Fenglin Factory's sales for the month of July had stabilized at 20,000 units, slightly less than 18k units. However, Fenglin Factory was very satisfied with the ratio of four to six. On the other hand, sales of Wind in the Sky were rising rapidly. In July, they had already reached 30,000 units. Zhang Chi's application development center had a group of people. Ever since the "Man in the Sky" Walker series had become popular in May, Wind in the Sky had undergone a major overhaul in June. They had introduced a series of small service vehicles, such as urban management vehicles for city management and industrial and commercial service vehicles for market management. The vehicles were built with reference to the RV's design. No matter where one was, one just had to pull open the shed, set up a foldable table, and take out the back seats to work on the spot. There was electricity, internet, computers, and printers. It was completely capable of providing on-site billing services. In July, more than 20,000 orders had been placed for this vehicle in the entire country. Zhang Chi's company continued to improve the official vehicle series. There was the family planning publicity vehicle, the legal aid vehicle, and the mobile blood collection vehicle. Wind in the Sky was a small two-box car that was only four meters long. After the application development center's optimization, the interior space was increased to the maximum. With a high-strength body, comfortable driving, and practical space, it became the new favorite of the official vehicle world.
Zhang Dechun's phone calls always had the same content: "Hide!" All the electric vehicle factories in the country had come to Longshan. As the general manager, he could only hide when faced with the huge demand for batteries. The supply of batteries had become the biggest problem. 100AH batteries were already priced at 5,000 RMB in the black market.
Jiang Guomin had said that the batteries in the Redwater River van had been modified to be portable like electric bicycles. Once the van stopped, the batteries would be taken away. Otherwise, there was no room for discussion.
Good! This was the result that he wanted!
The air was so good, and it was so comfortable to sleep. He slept until 6 am and woke up naturally. The sun shone down from the treetops in the East Mountain and shone on the mountain peak in the west. Chen Weizheng followed the mountain path and climbed for nearly two hours before he reached the top of the mountain. He shouted a few times at the top of the mountain to release some of the turbid air in his chest. He also felt a lot more refreshed.
When he returned to the hotel, it was almost 10 am. Li Hui and the other three were playing poker in the wooden house by the stream. The wooden house was not big, only about six or seven square meters. The wooden house was surrounded by thin gauze to prevent insects and mosquitoes. The stream flowed under the wooden house, making the sound of splashing water as it flowed downstream to a small pool.
Chen Weizheng returned to his room and washed up. He came to the side of the wooden house and asked them what they wanted to eat. Everyone told him that breakfast was only available for one hour. After that, they had to think of their own ways. The simplest way was to get a pack of instant noodles. Chen Weizheng refused and said that he would treat them to some wild game. Not long after, the unique crisp sound of a Colt M1911 came from not far away.
"Brother, you have a gun with you?" Li Hui asked Liu Yi.
Liu Yi nodded and said, "There's more than one. You have a gun license. Let him give you a Palm Grenade. "
"Okay, okay!" Li Hui's face was full of hope.
A few minutes later, Chen Weizheng returned, carrying a large hunting rat and a pheasant by the stream. Chen Weizheng took out a sharp knife and cut off the head of the hunting rat. He cut open its stomach and threw it into the water. He then peeled off the skin, leaving behind about three pounds of dark red pure meat. He used a few wooden sticks to make a barbecue rack. He went to the kitchen to get some firewood and salt and started a fire to roast it.
After letting Liu Yi take over his barbecue work, he processed the pheasant in the stream, calling out, "There's fish in the water, and they're quite big."
Ren Sui heard Chen Weizheng's call and went over. The place where Chen Weizheng processed the pheasant was a pool of water. The water was quite deep, and the insides of the hunting rat and the pheasant were washed down, attracting many carnivorous fish. The small ones were about half a pound, and the big ones were more than a pound. Chen Weizheng cut down a bamboo by the stream and made a harpoon with two or three cuts. Not long after, there were already five or six fish on his harpoon. Ren Sui cleaned up the fish very quickly. He propped them up with bamboo sticks, sprinkled salt, and barbecued them.
There were chickens, fish, and rats. The only thing missing was wine!
Ren Sui and Li Hui wanted beer, Liu Yi wanted coconut juice, and his mother wanted black tea. Chen Weizheng still wanted his favorite, white wine. Only this was a man's drink.
The people from the Forest Park Management Department came to take a look and told them to pay attention to safety and to strictly guard against fire. They secretly swallowed their saliva and left. This fragrance was too stimulating!
Li Hui reached out to Chen Weizheng and said, "Brother, let me see your gun."
Chen Weizheng handed the Colt over, and the heavy body of the gun made Li Hui's hand sink. This gun was not suitable for a petite girl like her. She returned the gun to Chen Weizheng and said, "Sister-in-law said that you still have a Palm Grenade. Brother, can you give it to me?"
"Okay, I'll go get it." Chen Weizheng went to the Forest Park store to buy some disposable cups, chopsticks, and plates. He also took out a silver Colt 0.38 short barrel revolver and a box of bullets from the space. The mahogany handle and full leather holster told everyone who saw it that this was a gift grade pistol.
Li Hui took the gun and said, "This is not a Palm Grenade, this is a Lion's Nose. The bullets are the same as the Hong Kong police's guns. It's so beautiful! Brother, where did you get it? "
"America."
"It's not difficult to buy a gun in America. The difficult part is how to bring it back." Li Hui said.
"Hehe." Chen Weizheng laughed and said, "I have my own plans. You can use the bullets as much as you want. When you're done, you can ask me for more. "
Li Hui looked at Chen Weizheng with admiration. This brother of hers was a bit too strong.
"Weizheng." His mother said, "I just saw you holding a jumping knife. Let me see."
Chen Weizheng handed the jumping knife to his mother. His mother turned it over and over to look at it. She handed it back to Chen Weizheng and said, "This is what your father left you, right?"
"Yes." Chen Weizheng said, "It's the only thing left behind."
His mother did not say anything. Her eyes were deep, as if she was looking at something very far away. After a while, she sighed and drank a mouthful of black tea.
"Mom, what are you thinking about?" Ren Sui asked.
"I'm thinking that unknowingly, you've all grown up." His mother said, "Your brother and sister can already play with real guns."
"They're both from the Disciplinary Unit. Playing with guns is similar to how we play with pens. Playing with a stethoscope is also similar to how sister-in-law plays with a stethoscope." Ren Sui said.
Hearing Ren Sui's words, everyone laughed.
"They're still not as good as sister-in-law. She's the one with real skills. She can cure illnesses and save lives." Li Hui said.
"Xiao Yi, do you study Chinese medicine or Western medicine?" His mother asked.
"I studied Western medicine at first. After graduation, I was assigned to the county party school's infirmary. I didn't have much to do all day long, so I learned Chinese medicine from Grandpa Liu." Liu Yi said, "Grandpa Liu is the grandfather of Weizheng's aunt. He's the best doctor of Chinese medicine in Gu Yi City."
"Weizheng's aunt?" His mother asked, "Weizheng doesn't have an aunt! Is she from the same clan? "
"No, they recognized each other. My aunt recognized Grandpa as her godfather, so she's Weizheng's aunt." Liu Yi said.
"What does this aunt do now?" His mother asked.
"She's in Gu Yi City's Education Bureau. I think she's the chairman of the trade union!" Liu Yi said, "Uncle's husband is the mayor of Gu Yi City. Weizheng demolished the old house and built a new one. He also cleaned up the courtyard. My aunt and uncle's parents live in Longshan Chen Village. They live in our courtyard. The four of them are old scholars and experts. I go back every day to learn culture, Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine, and English from them. It's very fulfilling. "
Knowing that Chen Weizheng was doing well, Li Jing let out a sigh of relief. She felt guilty towards this son of hers.
Chen Weizheng didn't interrupt. He knew that his mother wanted to know everything about him, but she didn't dare to ask. She held it in very unbearable. As a man, it wasn't convenient for him to talk about such trivial matters. It would be best if Liu Yi could talk about it! It was his wish to untie the knot in his mother's heart.
While they were chatting, the chicken, fish, and mice were all roasted. They also had a plate of pickled yams bought from the small store. This was a sumptuous meal. The mahjong table was a ready-made dining table. The mahjong chair was a ready-made dining chair. They bathed in the mountain breeze and eavesdropped on the stream. The gauze rippled. In the distance, the sound of the villagers singing could be heard. Perhaps it was a cathartic song, or perhaps it was just pure singing. There were only a few sentences. They wanted to understand, but there was nothing!
