Chapter 179 Visiting the Father-in-Law
Professors Kong Dali and Wei Haiyan were immediately displeased!
The reason is simple: the benefits one can enjoy by staying in Zhaojia Village are simply too generous.
Here, they not only receive the salary from the school, but the Zhao Group also provides each professor with an additional salary and various generous benefits.
Especially in previous years, pork in cities required ration coupons, but in Zhaojia Village, the complete freedom to choose and supply pork, chicken, duck, and other meat products had long been achieved!
More importantly, since the problems related to studying and staff accommodation were properly solved here, professors from the agricultural university have been vying to submit reports and apply to work in Zhaojia Village.
At this moment, Zhao Yuan stepped into the joint research center.
The spacious and brightly lit conference room was already packed with teachers and students from the agricultural university.
As soon as Zhao Yuan stepped into the conference room, everyone present instantly stood up and thunderous applause lasted for a long time, warmly welcoming Zhao Yuan's arrival.
Zhao Yuan smiled and waved gently to everyone, indicating that he had already greeted them. Seeing this, everyone slowly took their seats, and Zhao Yuan also sat down comfortably.
Today, Zhaojia Village is full of talented people. It not only has four resident professors, namely Professor Kong Dali, Professor Wei Haiyan, Professor Mo Yang and Professor Fu Shaobin, but also many associate professors and interns working hard here.
Zhao Yuan listened patiently to everyone's report, a smile on his face and eyes full of satisfaction.
Zhao Yuan expressed his full recognition and sincere gratitude for everyone's efforts and achievements at Zhao's breeding farm.
At the same time, he also gave specific instructions and expressed his earnest expectations for future work.
Time flew by and it was noon. The sun shone on the earth, bringing warmth.
Everyone gathered happily in the spacious and bright canteen for a meal.
Laughter and cheerful voices filled the air, and everyone's face was beaming with happiness and contentment. The whole scene was filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.
After a satisfying meal, Zhao Yuan rested briefly before setting off to return to Jinyang County.
Just then, village party secretary Zhao Jianguo and Zhao Jieyuan rushed over, each carrying two bulging bags.
The two of them jogged to Zhao Yuan's car, opened the trunk without a word, and carefully put the bag inside.
Zhao Jianguo, panting heavily, said:
"Zhaoyuan, it's so kind of you to come back now. Look at how much better everyone in the village is doing! It's all thanks to you! We're all incredibly grateful and wanted to give you something. But after thinking about it, we realized you have plenty of meat, chicken, and duck from your own factory. So, after much discussion, we decided to give you these peanuts you grew yourself and some handmade sweet potato chips. It's a token of our appreciation, and Lin Fangfang loves them too, so please don't mind!"
After saying this, Zhao Jianguo and Zhao Jieyuan exchanged a glance and smiled憨厚ly.
Zhao Yuan smiled and did not refuse, letting everyone stuff the bags and packages into his car.
Looking at the car full of gifts, Zhao Yuan was filled with gratitude. He bowed deeply to everyone, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, and said:
"Thank you all, neighbors! I, Zhaoyuan, will always remember your kindness."
After saying that, he turned around, got into the car, started the engine, and slowly drove away.
As the wheels rolled forward, Zhao Yuan drifted further and further away from his hometown, but the deep affection for his hometown always lingered in his heart.
Along the way, Zhao Yuan was lost in thought. Before long, he drove to his father-in-law's village.
As soon as you enter the village, you can see Old Man Lin sitting leisurely on a stone bench, a Daqianmen filter cigarette dangling from his mouth, chatting and laughing with a group of old men, talking about everything under the sun.
"Hey, old man Lin, look! A car is driving in at the village entrance! Go check if it's your son-in-law's car! I heard he went back to Jinyang County, but we haven't seen him around yet."
A sharp-eyed old man was the first to spot the car slowly driving into the village and quickly alerted Old Man Lin.
Upon hearing this, Old Man Lin's half-closed eyes snapped open, and he jumped up, frantically brushing the ash off his clothes before heading home.
Just as Zhao Yuan's car came to a smooth stop in front of his father-in-law's house, a slight noise caught the attention of Sister-in-law Lin inside.
She quickly walked out of her house and immediately saw Zhaoyuan getting out of the car.
"Zhao Yuan is back!"
As soon as Sister-in-law Lin saw Zhaoyuan, she went up to him warmly with a bright smile on her face and quickly greeted him.
"Yes, sister-in-law, is Dad home?"
Zhao Yuan responded with a smile, while deftly opening the trunk of the car and starting to take out piles of large and small bags.
"His feet can't be kept out of his sight. Dad went out to chat and brag with his old friends. I said, Zhaoyuan, you always bring so much stuff when you come back. We're family, so don't be so polite!"
Sister-in-law Lin smiled and playfully scolded him as she walked over quickly, reaching out to help Zhaoyuan carry the items.
Just then, a loud voice suddenly came from behind:
Who is gossiping about me behind my back again?
Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see Old Man Lin slowly strolling over with a filtered cigarette dangling from his mouth.
Zhao Yuan was busy unloading things from the trunk when he heard the noise. He quickly turned around and immediately saw the familiar figure—Old Man Lin, with a cigarette in his mouth and a leisurely expression.
"Dad, you're back!"
Zhao Yuan quickly put down the object in his hand, stood up straight, and respectfully greeted him.
"Yeah, I just got back. By the way, why didn't Fangfang and the others come back with us this time?"
As he asked questions, Old Man Lin searched his surroundings for his daughter and granddaughter.
"Dad, it's like this. I had some urgent business to attend to this time, so I didn't have time to bring Fangfang and the others with me. I'll definitely bring them back to visit you and sister-in-law next time."
As Zhao Yuan continued moving the items from the trunk to the ground, he explained to his father.
"Okay, you've expanded your operations too much and have a lot of things to do, that's understandable."
As he spoke, Old Man Lin walked towards his home.
In the spacious and bright living room,
