Chapter 153: Engaged for the First Time!
Chapter 153 Engagement for the First Time! In early June, the project of building a private bridge and building a road in Jixing Village, Zhangbaxiang reached its most critical time.
The completion rate of the project has reached 90 percent. The construction of the road protection embankment, the embankment on the upper side of the road surface, and the canal project was basically completed.
Iron thorns have been planted on both sides of the road, and over time they will grow even more luxuriantly. The remaining 10% of the road section is close to the 'Snake Nest Valley', as long as this part of the road is completed, the construction of Zhang Guodong's 'country villa' will be completed.
As for building a house, what kind of house needs to be considered later, and it has nothing to do with this project. At this time, the weather is hot, the construction workers are sweating like rain, the machinery is roaring and busy, Zhang Guodong stands on the cement pavement just paved yesterday to supervise the progress of the project, he is more satisfied, looking at the gradual completion of the project, very sense of achievement.
Once it is repaired, it will have the prototype of a paradise, and it is an ideal 'country house' point, with fields, houses, mountains on the back, and water on the face.
As you can imagine. What will it look like here in the future. Not far away, the women of Jixing Village carried a few loads of mung bean water for some workers to drink.
Although it is only the end of May and has not yet entered June, the construction workers work intensively, and the clothes can basically be beaten into mud at the end of the day.
It's a lot of work!
"Hey, Boss Liu?" In the past 20 days, Zhang Guodong had just changed into another calling card when he received a call from Liu Neng, who was at the Hongtan Mine in Sichuandu at this time.
It is now full of jade stones, and Liu Neng, who is in a hurry, jumps up and down, but he can't contact Zhang Guodong.
Here's the thing. Zhang Guodong patted his ass and walked away for more than three weeks, and the raw ore accumulated to more than 60 tons, which is not a small amount, but Zhang Guodong was not there, and the shipment was delayed for more than two weeks.
Moreover, Liu Neng trembled and didn't dare to do anything on the ore, what if Zhang Guodong sneaked up on the inspection?
No, Zhang Guodong's share of ore has accumulated to nearly forty tons, and the southern customers are constantly urging, and Liu Neng is about to get on fire.
Fortunately, this call finally got through!
"Boss Zhang, when will you come back, your ore has accumulated to forty tons, and if you don't deal with it, the target is too big, hehe, you see?" Liu Neng said as soon as he connected.
"Also. I have received about eight tons of jade slag for you, when do you think you will pick up the goods? Listening to Liu Neng's careful tone, Zhang Guodong patted his head and smiled embarrassedly.
"So much? Boss Liu has worked hard, look, I've been busy lately, so let's go back to Sichuan tomorrow at the latest! How is it? β
"Okay, I'm just afraid that you will forget, hehe, then I won't bother you!" Liu Neng said busily.
"Yes!" After hanging up the phone, Zhang Guodong thought about it and found Uncle Zhao. For more than 20 days, Uncle Zhao San was also here to help, and Zhang Guodong gave him a salary to make the best use of it.
Not to mention, after Uncle Zhao took this money, he worked harder for Zhang Guodong Zhang Luo. Indirectly guaranteed the smooth progress of the project!
"Third uncle, I'm going to a field tomorrow, I want to ask you to supervise and track the project, I don't worry about others!" Zhang Guodong said straight to the point.
Uncle Zhao San was wearing a single coat. There was a slight sweat on his forehead, but he was in good spirits and in good spirits. With a salary of 2,000 a month, just walk around the construction site and see, this work is easy!
"Go, don't worry, my old arms and legs are of no other use, it's okay to watch the project for you!" Uncle Zhao said with a smile.
"Third uncle, you are modest, you should be strong, okay, I'll go first, you can call me if there is anything!" Zhang Guodong patted the horse, and then did not delay, said hello, got in the car and left directly.
ββββ Sister Lan was organizing the women of the village on the side, chatting and listening with her ears pricked up.
Seeing Zhang Guodong get in the car and leave, Third Uncle Zhao seemed to have a much straighter back, and suddenly came over and quipped: "Yo, Third Uncle, have you been promoted?" I heard Guodong say, please take care of the project! β
"What's the matter, your third uncle and I can't do this with my arms and legs? Hurry up and help, you're not here to chat! The weather forecast says that there may be light to moderate rain in this part of the provincial capital tomorrow, and we have to speed up the construction! Uncle Zhao said angrily.
"Third uncle, we just cook a meal a day, send water or something. Where do you want us to go now? Sister Lan said with a smile.
"What's more, Guodong doesn't urge, you are old, let's urge those construction workers!" Sister Lan is in her thirties, she is relatively beautiful in this village, and she is a widow, and she has never been taboo in meat and vegetables.
Uncle Zhao usually has a way to deal with her. Uncle Zhao snorted, ignored her, and went directly to look elsewhere.
"Blue flower, this guy should have a woman, right?" A woman in the village said. The other women also looked at Sister Lan with gossipy faces.
Sister Lan twisted her small waist, came over and sat on a stone, rolled her eyes and said, "I know that he is not my man!" β
"Ah, Blue Flower, I see that you have been very close to Guy Zhang recently, so you don't have any ideas, you haven't set up something?" Another young woman teased.
Sister Lan's face turned slightly red, and then she retorted: "You, haven't you been fed by your men at night?" What about such gossip? A low smile, rippling with style.
"The pear girl must not be fed, she is a small man, and the guy is not big, right?" The woman who was the first to ask was laughed at.
Her man is smaller than her, when she is teased. After all, it is inseparable from this topic of men and women.
"you, you're not fed!" The pear girl blushed and scolded.
"Yo, fed?" The crowd laughed.
"Tell us about the process?"
"Hey, don't stagger the topic, I just said that Lan Hua and Guy Zhang, your business should go into the bed at night!" Sister Lan's heart fluttered, and she glanced at several sisters.
Zhang Xiaogang is young, rich, and he hasn't brought a woman here, so it's impossible for her to have a spring heart without waves.
But when she thought that she was many years older than Zhang Xiaoguy, she was gloomy. In the countryside. It's a good thing that a female junior holds gold bricks, but no matter how old she is, someone will chew her tongue, not to mention, she herself is a widow.
Some people say that she killed her man, and some people say that she can't have children, and she doesn't even have a seedling left.
But she knows for herself that she is a healthy and normal woman! ββββ that night, Zhang Guodong took a plane to Sichuandu, quietly, and did not call anyone after arriving at the airport.
Coming out of the airport, Zhang Guodong wants to go back to Huang's house first? But as soon as he thought that the eldest brother and sister-in-law should come back for their honeymoon, he went, and there were more people, so he simply stayed in a hotel or went directly to the Hongtan mine.
One more thing, my father and mother are probably going back to the provincial capital soon, right? This time, when he returned to the provincial capital, it would be his engagement and wedding day with Zheng Le.
Engagement, marriage, the date is very close.
"Let's go back to Red Beach first, I haven't been there for this time, Liu Neng shouldn't dare to do anything!" Zhang Guodong took a taxi to the Hongtan mine, at this time, everyone basically rested, and Hongtan was silent, but as soon as the lights of the rental car shone and the car sounded, the wolf and the leopard woke up and woke up the boss Liu Neng.
"Boss, there's a car coming!"
"Who's coming?" As soon as the rental stopped, Zhang Guodong got out of the car. The bamboo house is lit up! Apparently, some people were woken up.
"Ah, it's Boss Zhang who is back!" Someone recognized it as Zhang Guodong. Liu Neng didn't go back to the city at night, so he spent the night in Red Beach.
The more rough is mined at Red Beach. The higher his heart goes. These more than 60 tons of rough stones are worth tens of millions!
"Let's go to sleep, I just got off the plane!" Zhang Guodong waved his hand at everyone. Liu Neng came out. I was very excited when I saw Zhang Guodong, and my heart was bitter, God, I finally looked forward to you back.
The southern merchants are urging very tightly, and it has been postponed for more than two weeks. Zhang Guodong didn't come back, and Liu Neng didn't know what to do.
There are also eight tons of jade slag, in addition, the merchants have accumulated enough four or five tons of jade slag, which is not sorted out, and it cannot be exchanged for cash.
"Boss Zhang has worked hard all the way!" Liu Neng said busily. Zhang Guodong smiled slightly, I guess I suffocated this guy, right?
"Those are the rough stones? That's a lot! Zhang Guodong saw at a glance that the tall stone pile occupied a lot of space.
Who would have thought that these piles of stones were worth tens of millions?
"Yes, now it's almost sixty tons! The other small pile is the jade scum you want! Liu Neng said.
There are several piles of ore, only one pile of fine sand compared to it, but that's a lot of money. The essence of jade is extracted from there!
"Well, I'm a little tired, I'll divide it tomorrow morning!" ββββ the next morning, Liu Neng got up very early.
When it came to the penny, this person basically couldn't sleep, and even called five big trucks to wait for loading.
Zhang Guodong finished practicing boxing in Taoyuan, scrubbed it, and then came out of the bamboo house. Liu Neng was already waiting outside.
"Boss Zhang is early!"
"Morning!" Zhang Guodong nodded with a smile.
"Now let's start splitting stones, shall we?"
"Okay, Boss Zhang, please first!" Liu Neng said. Zhang Guodong was not polite, and picked out five tons of rough stones in less than half an hour.
There are 32 tons of rough stone left, in addition to replacing 8 tons of jade slag with 6 tons of raw ore, and finally there are 26 tons of rough stone, the old rule, the price of 800,000 yuan per ton, Zhang Guodong has 21 million more on his books, and Liu Neng has made a whole number.
After all, he took a lot of advantage in exchanging jade slag for rough stones. After the ore was divided, Liu Neng was very excited, and quickly let people load the truck, ready to send it to the southern market immediately.
Zhang Guodong also loaded his own five-ton rough stone. These rough stones, he still plans to put them in the peach source, and when he finds time to cut them out, these jade stones are not bad even if they are dressed up, they are very beautiful.
After all, there is enough money in his account!
"Boss Zhang, there is something to discuss with you, according to Lao Fu's estimate, the Hongtan Mine can be mined for three or two months at most!" Liu Neng remembered one thing, and hurriedly mentioned it to Zhang Guodong, with a worried face.
This is the estimation of the master and apprentice of the jade mining expert. Originally, the Hongtan mine was estimated to have reserves of 400 to 500 million, but now that it has been mined for more than a month, Liu Neng has to puff up more than 40 million yuan to recover the cost.
These machines or something, when the time comes, must be disposed of, it can be considered profitable, in other words, there are at most three months left, or two months, and the mine will be exhausted!
It is estimated that he will be able to gain more than 80 million by then, and even if he sells machinery and so on, the total income will be almost 120 million, which is tens of millions less than the original estimate.
This annoyed him. This reserve was estimated to be too high?! However, this matter must be mentioned to Zhang Guodong, otherwise something will go wrong at that time, and Liu Neng will be afraid of getting himself involved.
"Two to three months?" Zhang Guodong was surprised.
"Yes, it may be that the old Fu miscalculated at the beginning!" Liu Neng said with a bitter face.
"The mining depth has been twenty meters, but twenty meters has bottomed out, and now it is being mined horizontally, and the surrounding rock samples are collected according to the standard, which proves that there is not much left!"
"So?" Zhang Guodong frowned. But he thought in his heart, it shouldn't be a miscalculation, he selects about two tons each time, and this part of the rough stone can have the best gold and jade, which is quite valuable.
This time, the five tons of rough stones plus the four tons put in before are nine tons, which is close to 200 million dollars!
The value of this Red Beach mine is more than 500 million!
"Let's continue mining first, how much can be mined!" Zhang Guodong thought for a while and said. Liu Neng breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this hurdle has passed. He can't help it, who would know that the reserves are smaller than they used to be? ββββ Zhang Guodong carried five tons of rough stone and eight tons of jade slag away.
Liu Neng also got on the southbound convoy and personally escorted the ore. Zhang Guodong had the old rule of unloading the ore in the suburbs, and he quickly put it into Taoyuan and left quickly.
ββββ the Huang family's compound, everyone was resting in the courtyard. When the eldest brother and sister-in-law came back from their honeymoon trip, the yard was much more lively.
However, what made Zhang Zhengrong and Ye Cuihua a little dissatisfied was that Zhang Guodong's phone couldn't get through, seeing that this date had exceeded the engagement period for a few days, Zhang Guodong would not show up again, and they planned to return to the provincial capital immediately.
"This rabbit cub doesn't know where to go!" Ye Cuihua said fiercely.
"If you want me to say, you shouldn't have let go of this kid last time, and it's the other way around, the boss is not small, and he dares to run away from the engagement?"
"Mom, the second brother should have something, right? I see that his business is very busy, didn't Mayor Li's wife bring her daughter to visit two days ago? Don't underestimate the second brother, it is estimated that the business is not small! Zhang Guozheng said with a smile.
Lin Hui took the recovered Yaya to visit Zhang Guodong, which surprised the Huang family. Now, the Huang family and the Zhang family all know that the Lin Hui family is bigger than the official capital of the executive deputy district head.
This Huang Laosan is now angry! But it's a pity that Zhang Guodong has already returned to the provincial capital, and he changed to a new card as soon as possible, except for the fat man, no one can contact him.
"What do you want so much money for? I don't see anyone running all day! Ye Cuihua muttered. Money? It's not okay to have no money, just like this time when the eldest son got married, he spent millions, a house and a car, and bought an extra house in Zhang Guodong's name, all of which were all in place.
These words are angry words! So it made people laugh!
"Mother-in-law, don't worry, I guess your old 2 will be back soon, right?" Yang Qin said with a smile. When Zhang Guodong arrived at the Huang family compound, a voice came: "Say Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived!" Zhang Guodong entered the yard and was a little confused, but when his father and mother looked at him as if he was very dissatisfied, he smiled wryly.
"Dad, Mom, I'm busyβ" Zhang Guodong scratched his head and said.
"Big brother and sister-in-law are back? Why are you here today? Don't big brothers and sisters-in-law have to go to work? β
"Second brother, today is the weekend, you don't have to go to work!" Zhang Guozheng couldn't cry or laugh.
"Ah, hehe, I'm really busy, recently, I built a villa in the provincial capital, engaged in construction and decoration or something, tired!" Zhang Guodong sat down and deliberately diverted the topic and said.
When Ye Cuihua heard that she was busy buying a house, she immediately asked, "Is it for marriage?" How's the preparation? Zhang Guodong hurriedly said: "I'm ready, it's in the provincial station, in addition, I also built a small yard in the countryside, and if I'm bored in the city, I can go to the countryside to liveββ"
"Second brother, what are you buying so many villas for? I'm afraid it's expensive, right? The sister-in-law was surprised. Knowing that the second brother is rich, but buying a villa still shocks many people.
"Hehe, investment, it's better to invest if you put your money, at least you can maintain your value, and if it's good, you can increase your value! By the way, Mom, the villa is a duplex villa building, there are four houses, our own, you can also live there when you go back to the provincial capital, the house of the telecommunications bureau, let's retreat, no need! Zhang Guodong said.
When my mother heard that she didn't need to live in someone else's house, she was immediately happy.
"Why do you buy so much, it's better to rent it out if it's empty!" This is, of course, a choice to ignore. When Zhang Guodong bought it, he wanted to save trouble and bought it all at once, otherwise how many houses live in one building, and it would be very troublesome to make trouble, besides, how many rents can be collected?
Zhang Guodong stayed at Huang's house for one night, and the next morning, his mother, father, and Zhang Guodong all got on the plane back to the provincial capital, and they couldn't wait any longer.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law had just returned from a trip, so they didn't plan to go to get engaged, and when they got married, they had a meal together.
As for the third brother, after the eldest brother got married, he returned to Hebei the next day, and their business was generally concentrated in the first half of the year, and the second half of the year belonged to the light business period, with a lot of free time.
On the other side of the ββββββ, Western Qin Province, the provincial capital.
"Lele, is there anything else to add to the new house? Guodong too, why don't you come back to see it-"The Zheng family in provincial Taiwan, Mei Lan and her daughter Zheng Le are here."
Just now, Zhang's family called and said that he and Zhang Guodong got on the plane back to the city together, and it was estimated that they would arrive before noon.
Zheng Le had no choice but to ask for leave first, and then come back obediently, waiting for the 'arrangement of fate'. It's engaged!
From then on, she is no longer alone, but has a 'fiancΓ©', and the next step is to become a 'husband'.
However, she was in a daze at the moment and felt very nervous. Even though she knew it was a 'fake marriage', she was still nervous.
"Mom, it's all bought back, it's all dressed up, haven't you seen it? Guodong is very busy, and the money is handed over to me to buy furniture! Zheng Le responded in his room.
The villa building next door, the new house is on the second floor, these days, she has basically bought it, spent more than 400,000 yuan, bought everything that should be bought, and dressed it up with her own hands, very attentively.
After all, from now on, she had to live there, and she was now her home. Getting up and sitting in front of the dressing table, Zheng Le looked at his face carefully, and then noticed the sexy lips.
Her face was hot, and she remembered that she had been kissed by that bastard here! That abominable tongue!
"Bastard! I used to see you honest, but in fact, you are very bad! Hmph, don't try to take advantage of me in the future! Zheng Le thought a little angry.
However, the kiss, the intoxication, the aftertaste, is very **, very sweet, and makes her heart tremble.
Zheng Tianfu was also there, changing clothes. If you want to see your in-laws, you naturally have to wear decent clothes, as soon as this daughter is engaged, the next thing is to get married, his daughter is going to get married, he is very reluctant, but he is also very happy.
"Old man, you say, don't you really invite some relatives and friends to do it well?" Melan said.
"My daughter asked for this, no wedding banquet, the two families had a meal together, and took a wedding photo, maybe she had her idea, right? I think that's good! Zheng Tianfu said with a smile.
"After all, Gordon is not a news figure, nor is he a public figure, so let's keep a low profile, okay? Young people's minds, let's not guess! β
"Still, I'll have to treat an old friend for a drink when I go back!" Mei Lan frowned slightly and nodded. It seems that this can only be done, originally Mei Lan saw that money was not something that bothered her daughter to get married, so she wanted to hold it in a beautiful way, but her daughter asked for a low-key wedding or even a simple one, received a marriage certificate, took a wedding photo, and then the two families had a meal.
The prospective son-in-law Zhang Guodong also saw the beginning and the end, and Mei Lan couldn't negotiate. But fortunately, Zhang Guodong directly gave his daughter 1 million to buy a new house, which slightly offset the incompetence of Zhang Guodong's prospective son-in-law.
"Ding Linglingβ" The phone next to him rang. Merlin connected.
"Is it the in-laws who have arrived? Alas, well, we'll be there soon! Mei Lan said happily. Putting down the phone, Mei Lan said: "The Zhang family got off the plane and was rushing here, Guodong said, in an hour, the two of us will have dinner at the Jiahao Hotel!" β
"Oh? Hehe, this kid has finally appeared! Zheng Tianfu said with a smile.
"No, I'm worried that when they get married, they'll be busy with their own thingsβ" Merlin said.
"It's been a long time since the Green Treasure Pavilion opened, and now I don't know what business Gordon is doing, and I can't even eat a meal-"
"You, it's just that people are worried about the sky, how can young people do if they are not busy with their careers? However, what you said is also right, I told him this, you can't be old and home-" Zheng Tianfu nodded and said.
ββββ when the Zheng family was packing up and preparing to go out, Zhang Guodong and his parents had already rushed to the Jiahao Hotel and booked a luxurious private room near the window on the top floor.
There's a lot of space and it's soundproof, so it's easy to talk to.
"Dad, Mom, do you want to take a rest first, then take a shower, do you want to buy more clothes?" Zheng Zhengrong was already sitting on the sofa, and he was dizzy when he took the plane, although the speed was very fast, but he was a little unaccustomed to it, and he had to sit down to get used to it, otherwise he felt that his legs were not strengthening.
Ye Cuihua was more energetic and looked around. I'm quite happy with it, but it seems to be a bit expensive. A private room actually charges four thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight for three hours!
"You don't need to buy it, your eldest brother has bought several sets when he gets married, and it's a waste to buy again, just change your body after taking a shower for a while!" Ye Cuihua said.
"Guodong, Lele is really the one from the City Express on TV?" Zhang Guodong smiled helplessly.
"yes, you'll know when we see you in a while!" Ye Cuihua nodded happily. Mom actually has an idolatry mentality?
Glad to be like this! At twelve o'clock at noon, this time was just right, Zheng's father, Aunt Mei, Zheng Le, and a group of three people dressed up and drove to Jiahao Hotel.
Zhang Guodong and his parents were in front of the hotel to greet him. This was the first time the families of both sides had met. Not only Zheng Le is nervous, but Zhang Guodong himself is also very nervous, as if this marriage is real!
The eyes of the two collided, and then staggered, feeling a little flustered.
"Uncle, aunt, Lele! This is my dad Zhang Zhengrong and my mom Ms. Ye Cuihua, hehe! Zhang Guodong took the lead in introducing Zheng Tianfu and Mei Lan.
"Mom and Dad, this is-" Zhang Guodong's introduction was interrupted by Zheng Tianfu. As soon as Zhang Zhengrong and Zheng Tianfu shook hands, Zheng Tianfu smiled and said: "I am Lele's father, Zheng Tianfu, sixty-three years old this year!" I finally saw you, Brother Zhang doesn't look like sixty-four people, fifty years old is about the same! She's my wife, Merlan! My daughter Zheng Le! β
"Hello uncle and aunt!" Zheng Le's face turned red, and he shouted at the second elder of the Zhang family obediently.
"Okay, good, Brother Tianfu! I'm sixty-four, a year older than you, I'm old! Zhang Zhengrong said with a smile.
Dad's behavior is not like that of a rural person, which makes Zheng Tianfu secretly surprised. Even, Mei Lan was surprised. Both parties on the phone reported their ages and names, but when I saw them today, this in-laws looked much younger than themselves and the old man!
PS: The text is six thousand five hundred, count it as two more. I went out today, and I came back in the afternoon to code the word, which is more dizzy!
