The summer harvest in northern Ukraine is late in the north compared to the south, but the wheat in the fields has begun to turn yellow.

Maxim Noskov, who returned from Odessa on Friday to negotiate the last buyout of the fertilizer plant there, has spent the last two days traveling from farmland to field in Rivne Oblast to check for ripening crops.

I am a member of this country, and I always try to do something for these people of this country.

Even if everyone around him has fallen into some kind of frenzy of collapsing faith, Maxim Noskov still does not change his original intention, of course, he is not a pedantic person in his bones, otherwise he would not accept the support of a super-rich man from the United States.

It was not until the evening that Maxim left the field with several staff members and the head of the Rivne regional agricultural department, but instead of returning directly to the city, he turned to a nearby agricultural machinery center.

There are 50 large combine harvesters parked here, like soldiers in full gear.

Seeing these large agricultural equipment, Maxim can't help but think of the incident last year, when he got an agricultural loan from the Netherlands and allocated part of it to purchase tractors for spring ploughing, only to have the director of the agricultural machinery factory abscond with his family's donation after receiving the payment from him.

260 billion hryvnia, equivalent to $870,000.

It's not a lot of money, but it's definitely not a small amount of money, because of this incident, he has gray hair in just a few days, and he has to ask his daughter for help rarely, in fact, to the young man.

Subsequently, the money was quickly recovered.

It's a happy event.

Along with it, there is also the agricultural machinery factory that is said to have fled to Germany, and suddenly died on the streets of Rivne Oblast one day, a family of four, neatly organized, and none of them ran away.

There was no public media coverage of the incident, but it was widely reported.

It's as if to let some people know something.

Then no one knew what happened to the bodies of the family of four, and the Rivne Oblast police did not conduct any investigation, so it was closed.

Maxim felt that this was not right.

It's just that he found that he couldn't do anything either, and besides, he didn't encounter any similar problems on his side again, and many people even trembled a little when dealing with him.

After inspecting the harvesters at the Agricultural Technology Center in person, the group finally returned to the city.

When I got home, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

The Noskov family was waiting for him to come back, and then they remembered that today was his wife's birthday, and when he left in the morning, his wife reminded her that her daughter would come back for dinner together today.

It doesn't work.

However, his wife gently reminded him to wash his face, and said that his daughter brought back some seafood today.

After washing his face in a hurry, he came to the restaurant.

The whole family sat down at the long table, including the Noskov couple, the eldest son Andrei and his girlfriend Anna, who are already studying for a doctorate at Kyiv University, the eldest daughter Tanya and his wife, who are married, and the younger grandson, the second daughter Angelica and the youngest Catherina.

There is also a girl who obviously has a military temperament, and she is introduced as Lina, who is the bodyguard of her youngest daughter.

Inexplicably a little angry.

What kind of bodyguards do you want, so many people don't need bodyguards, that young man really spoils you girls, it's a waste.

When it came to his lips, in the end, because the bodyguard named Lena was close in front of him, it was not easy to teach a lesson.

Alas, it can't be managed.

His wife, Yelena, took the initiative to find a topic to ask him about his work today, and also raised her wrist to show her youngest daughter's birthday finances, a string of golden amber bracelets.

Rivne Oblast is the most important source of amber in Ukraine, but in the past, these amber ores were not taken seriously at all, and some residents even used large pieces of amber as a starting thing. Then, in the last year, it has only been taken seriously, and Maxim has also heard about it, and it is said that he was encircled by another family about the same as his daughter, Vladimir Kolkoshko, whose two sons formed a company and obtained the exclusive right to mine amber in the Rivne region.

Kolkoszko is the deputy head of the regional government's investment promotion bureau, and it is said that someone is interested in making him the new governor in the future.

How can such a person condone two children to do business like this.

Amber mining should be a national resource, and it should be nationalized, as if the two young men also gathered an armed gang to crack down on the unauthorized mining of amber by local residents.

It's just lawless.

Merely.

I can't manage it, I can't manage it.

The more Maxim Noskov thought about it, the more he felt sad from the bottom of his heart, could such a country have any future? Once he also thought about choosing to enter politics, Maxim knew that he would definitely be able to do more, but in fact, he couldn't even manage the fertilizer plant he was in charge of very well, and it was okay when it was small.

Now, the Westeros system is laying out more and more fertilizer industry assets here, although he is still in charge, but currently only responsible for production, sales and finance and other aspects have taken the initiative to hand it over.

Glanced at his son Andrei.

In fact, I still hope that this son can take over his class, but the father and son also had some rifts last year, the son finished his graduate school in chemistry at Kyiv University and wanted to study in the United States, he resolutely pressed it, because he knew that once he went to the United States, this kid would not come back.

The results can be imagined.

The youngest daughter, who also approved of her brother's study in the United States, also had an awkward relationship with herself for this reason.

Going abroad, going abroad, and now they are all running abroad, is there no one thinking about their own country, this is the foundation of everyone.

It doesn't work.

Alas.

Because Maxim's interest is not high, it was originally a birthday dinner, and it was very sumptuous, but everyone ate tastelessly, Maxim can be said to have a lot of prestige in this family, except for the little daughter who has hard wings now, everyone else is a little afraid of this stubborn and rigid middle-aged man.

Ekaterina didn't want to face her father's stinky face, and after dinner, she said goodbye to her mother, brother, and two sisters, ignoring the eyes of her brothers and sisters who obviously wanted her to spend more time, and left her home in the west of the city with Lena.

This is the family area that the Westeros system agreed to build for the families of UFMS private soldiers, and the Noskovs also have a separate courtyard here. In fact, the family had hoped to move to a better place, but because Maxim insisted on the idea of a simple life, he could only stay here.

Last year, Catherine's eldest sister got married, and if it weren't for the fact that her mother and Ekaterina secretly helped together, she wouldn't even have a new house. Maxim's salary, except for a part of the family, all the rest was donated to help some poor children in the countryside, the eldest brother-in-law wanted to go through the back door to find a better job in the fertilizer factory, but he didn't succeed, and was scolded, and finally the more precocious Catherine cautiously came forward and let the eldest brother-in-law work in the Rivni Media Company, which Uncle Natalia was in charge of.

Speaking of which, Catherine, the youngest in the family, is the pillar of the Noskov family. According to the second sister Tanya, their father lived for the people, not for the family.

Back at the villa in the south of the city, after taking a hot shower and changing into a beautiful homestay dress, Evgenia and Natalia were watching TV in the living room, and when Catherine sat down, Eve asked, "Nana, does your mother like that string of amber bracelets?"

"Of course, Mom asked me to thank you," said Catherine, taking an apple from the fruit bowl on the coffee table, and eating it in small bites.

Seeing this, Natalia smiled and asked, "You haven't eaten enough at home?"

"Yes," Catherine did not mention her father at all, "seeing my father's appearance of worrying about the country and the people, I didn't dare to eat." ”

"Why?"

"I'm afraid that my father will teach me a lesson after eating too much, so many people are still hungry, just be full. ”

"Huh. ”

Evgenia listened to Natalia's laughter holding her belly, and the corners of her mouth also showed a smile, but she couldn't help but say a fair word: "Nana, in fact, your father is a very good person." ”

Catherine took another bite of the apple: "I know, but I don't understand, he can be so good to others, why can't he be kind to his family." ”

Natalia seemed to think of something: "Is your dad bad for you?"

Noticing Natalia's expression, Catherine also understood something, and quickly shook her head: "Of course not, my father is not that Banshikov, he is just too strict with us." ”

At this point, the three girls gossiped a little, and Evgenia said, "I heard that guy had a broken leg." ”

"Hmph, what is this, I think that if he makes trouble again, he may be directly dug and sold. ”

"Galena's mother and sister were lucky, they were beaten up, and then they moved into the hot spring manor, and Galena's mother became the housekeeper of the manor. Evgenia said this, and when she saw that the two girls around her were looking at her with a little strangeness in their eyes, she asked, "What, did I say something wrong?"

Natalia and Catherine shook their heads together.

It's just that there is obviously something strange in the expression.

Evgenia blinked, she is not a fool, because she has lived here in the past two years, she can receive too much information from the outside world, and soon she also thought of some other aspects, and suddenly blushed, looked at the other two women and said, "Ah, you two are really dirty in your thoughts." ”

Catherine countered: "If you don't think crookedly, how do you know that we are dirty in our minds. ”

Natalia had some gossip: "Anyway, Simon likes Yulia and Ivana very much, and I think that if it weren't for this, Simon would not have let Yulia and the three of them go." Also, Eve and the two sisters, tsk, because of this incident, Lyudmila is even more annoying, and I really want to fight with her. ”

Evgenia felt her face get a little hotter and interrupted, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about tomorrow, my brother is going to the amber mines in the north, I want to go and see it too, can you go?"

"Tomorrow is Monday, you're not going to do your homework?"

"We're not the little chicks of the hot spring manor, we've learned a lot. And, Simon said, whenever we want to hang out, we can do it at any time. ”

Hearing Eve say this, the other two girls glanced at each other and said, "This, I must talk to Eve first." ”

"Of course, Eve wouldn't object. ”

Catherine finished nibbling on an apple, threw the core into the trash, hugged a pillow next to her and leaned comfortably on the sofa, and said, "Eve doesn't seem to care much about us lately. ”

"Because the hot spring manor is full of little chicks, we are big girls now, so it's important to take care of the children," Evgenia said, "Moreover, we have been equipped with an extra bodyguard on our recent trips, which was arranged by Eve, and she still cares about me very much." ”

"It's just that Lyudmila is too annoying. ”

"Lyudmila is in Italy, or we can go to Italy and continue to see her hungry. ”

"Hehe, it's not fashion season, and we can't see anything when we go. ”

Natalia said, "Actually, I would rather go to the United States." ”

When these words came out, the other two girls were silent, and then Catherine also said: "I also want Simon, you say, what is he doing now?"

"It's definitely guarded by a whole bunch of girls, but it's not us. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Simon is so. ”

"Heh, if it weren't for that, would we be able to live here now?"

"Yes. ”

After chattering like this until late at night, the three girls ran to the master bedroom together and slept on the big bed to continue the night conversation.

Woke up late the next day.

Life is like a canary, and there is also a canary consciousness, after eating a simple breakfast, or spending some time exercising, before going out near noon, leaving the city, first to the hot spring manor in the north of Rivni.

Demonstrate.

and talk to Eve about going to see the Amber Mine.

The three girls suddenly had this kind of thought, and Eve didn't dare to let them run around, but followed them herself.

Compared with the more prosperous urban area of Rivni, the further north it goes, the more dilapidated it becomes.

Even though the Westeros system has invested a lot in the Rhonov region, and there are people like Maxim Noskov, there are still many areas of farmland that should be full of crops at this time, and there are still many areas that are barren and directly covered by large areas of wild grass.

Eve Genia's two older brothers had already gone to the amber mines in the north in the morning, and the depth of the entire Rivne region was actually only more than 100 kilometers from north to south, and Eve and the three girls arrived near the northern border at about two o'clock in the afternoon.

Finding Ivgenia's two older brothers, Nicholas and Kirill, they also saw the so-called Amber Mine.

The so-called amber mine, located deep in a forest, is full of potholes and shallow pits with water, which looks like the surface of the moon at a glance. And the amber mine that has just been unearthed is completely stone-based. Even if you don't understand this, a few girls can understand at a glance that such amber mines, or such mining models, are too amateurish, and even a little messy.
