I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 566 - 560: Magnetic Field Anomaly

Liangbao’s wife couldn’t quite identify the feeling inside her heart. Qi Feng was a good kid, but in the past, she hadn’t agreed, so why did she agree now?

But at the same time, she felt very happy and proud.

Her daughter was no longer the girl of the past. There’s a saying, "A daughter is sought after by many families." In the last couple of years, there had been many suitors coming to their door. If it weren’t for Qiao Ye refusing because she wanted to continue her studies and improve herself, this match would have been settled long ago, and some of these young men were not inferior to Qi Feng.

Even so, a mother-in-law’s fondness for her son-in-law grows with time.

She personally caught a big hen from the chicken coop and, after killing it, put it in a big iron pot with vermicelli and dried mushrooms, and it stewed and bubbled away in a large pot.

With this dish, Qi Feng knew that he could almost take this wife home.

By the time Qiao Ye brought Qi Feng to Qiao Qingyu’s house, Wu Qianyun had already prepared the alcohol. He Xiuyu and Qi Feng sat at the kang table and drank a few cups together, although the topic they talked about the most was water conservancy.

He Xiuyu had also dabbled in this area and spoke a lot. Qi Feng even took out a notebook and began to jot down notes.

For him, this was a rare learning opportunity.

...

Time flew by, and before he knew it, he would be leaving the Qiao Family Team.

Wu Qianyun began to pack.

Standing at the doorstep, Chaoxuan looked inside the house and then turned to look outside, thinking how much fun it was here. Every day, he was carried around by a bunch of older kids running wild, something that had never happened in Xichuan.

Big brother Xiao Hu was good to him. So were Dashun and Daji, and Zhou Jiapengcheng was also good to him and often carried him around to play. But still, there were too few of them.

They couldn’t even muster a proper troop for a game of war.

How come there were so many kids here, dozens of them?

If they played war, they could easily split into two armies.

Especially their games of hide-and-seek at the foot of the mountain, it was just too fun.

If he said he didn’t want to leave, would that be okay?

But then he glanced outside the window again. He didn’t know what mom and dad were talking about by the door. If he stayed, his parents would definitely have to go back to work. After some thought, biting his fingertip, the little guy took his small, short legs and went trotting toward Qiao Qingyu’s direction. He tugged on his mother’s clothes and said with a soft and sticky voice, "Mommy, mommy, can we come here for New Year’s? Big brother Zhu Zi said it’s really lively here during New Year’s, with firecrackers, fireworks, ice lanterns, snowball fights... and we can go ice skating and skiing..."

The more he talked, the more he felt that winter here seemed even more fun than summer.

Qiao Qingyu didn’t brush the child off and thought seriously, "If you want to come, you can ask Grandma and Granddad to bring you over."

Old Lady Qiao, who had just finished lunch and was out for a walk, said, "It might as well let the child stay here. It’s only a few months until New Year’s. It’s too much trouble to go back and forth."

Chaoxuan felt there was reason to that, but he still said, "But I will miss daddy and mommy. I’ll go talk to grandma..."

The little guy turned around and ran back inside the house.

And as Qiao Qingyu and Qiao Qingyu’s house were about to enter the house, the sound of a jeep came from not far away, heading in this direction.

He must have come to find them.

Qiao Qingyu looked outside.

The approaching jeep was somewhat unfamiliar.

Then the vehicle stopped right at the Qiao Family’s front gate.

Unexpectedly, the people who got out of the car were Wu Hong and another young man, carrying things in their hands and with smiles on their faces, they said, "Qingyu, Ah Yu, we just found out that your cousin and her husband have returned, luckily, we made it in time."

One does not slap a smiling face, besides, every time Liu Ge went to the Tenghai Research Base, she always had Wu Hong accompany her, never caring about the appearance of impropriety.

In her own grandfather’s home, she didn’t care at all about how to interact with Wu Hong.

Unless Liu Ge cut ties with the He Family and never saw Rongrong again, she would meet them every two or three months, and every time Wu Hong came, he never arrived empty-handed.

Even for her son’s one-month celebration, he brought a gift. So there was no need for Qiao Qingyu to deliberately draw a clear line.

She let Wu Hong into the house.

Wu Hong and Wu Qianyun were naturally familiar with each other.

But Wu Qianyun’s attitude had always been indifferent, yet that was already quite good.

After all, these two were actually blood relatives.

Moreover, the relationship was not distant; he was her cousin.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Wu Hong revealed the other purpose of today’s visit; he wanted to take them to Lianjiang Village.

Wu Hong continued to explain, "Our family elders indeed want to meet the two of you." He looked towards He Xiuyu, his voice carried a hint of enticement, though also very low, "Chief Engineer He, we’ve discovered a place where the magnetic field is abnormal, I really think you should go have a look."

He Xiuyu’s expression was calm as he replied indifferently, "Magnetic field anomaly? The place you’re speaking of, is it owned by your Zhang Family, or is it local property?"

Wu Hong understood what he meant right away.

"This land has also been leased by us and belongs to our Zhang Family, the lease term is thirty years, you don’t have to worry at all, this is purely a private invitation with absolutely no relation to any official business."

He Xiuyu’s gaze was deep as he looked at Wu Hong standing before him with an earnest look in his eyes.

Considering Wu Hong’s demeanor, very modest and seemingly begging him to take a look, He Xiuyu moved his fingers slightly. A magnetic field anomaly?

He decided to go and see it; after all, the piece of land with the anomaly had already been leased to the Zhang Family.

He Xiuyu wanted to go by himself, but Qiao Qingyu insisted on accompanying him.

He Xiuyu thought about it and then didn’t insist any further; it was now the afternoon, and even though the sunlight was bright, the air was a bit cold. Watching mom and dad drive away in the car, Chaoxuan cheered and ran towards the backyard; he wanted to go play with Uncle Shengbao...

Uncle Shengbao always managed to come up with lots of fun things to play with him.

Wu Qianyun had originally planned to take a nap with the child at noon, but in the blink of an eye, Chaoxuan ran to the backyard. Wu Qianyun simply gave up on the idea of taking a nap and told Qiao Zhicai to keep an eye on Chaoxuan and the others while she continued to pack up. This time, they estimated they would be staying in Xichuan for at least a year.

Lijiang Village was not far from the Qiao Family Team, and once you left the Qiao Family Team, the concrete road turned into Yellow Sand Road, but even the Yellow Sand Road had been repaired. The once bumpy spots had been smoothed over, and since it had not rained, the road was dry and even, just quite dusty.

It took just over ten minutes to reach Lianjiang Village.

Lianjiang Village, as its name implies, had a small stream winding through the village at its entrance, which came from the larger river.
