Chapter 243 Family Trivia
Guo Yang had expected this to happen, so he refused without a second thought.

"Brother, I won't go on the blind date. Please reply to me and I will come back to see you guys."

Guo Shan seemed to have expected this. "You are already an adult. It's time to think about it."

Guo Yang said: "Well, I know what's going on."

"Alas, now that you are capable, we can't control you. You should pay more attention to everything."

"Ah."

Guo Yang chatted idly while continuing to read the news online.

My eldest brother and his wife probably don't have any bad intentions, they are just simply thinking about him, but his current status and position are quite special, and he is considered a celebrity of some kind.

You still have to be cautious about emotional matters. Either there is an exchange of interests, or you really like the person, or you are just looking for fun.

In short, don't get yourself into too much trouble.

He is most afraid of emotional trouble.

After hanging up the phone and browsing the website for a while, Guo Yang closed his laptop, washed up, and went to bed.

At the same time, in a community in Minqin, Guo Shan looked at his wife Tian Ying.

"I've told you all, don't get involved in my business. I think Aunt Wang is just thinking about Yangzi's wealth."

Tian Ying pursed his lips, "Isn't it that I'm being pestered and there's nothing I can do about it?"

Guo Shan said angrily: "Who told you to go out and show off? If you don't tell others, how many people know about our situation?"

Tian Ying was a little angry and lay on the bed with her back to Guo Shan.

Why do they go out to show off? It's because the people living in this community are all local dignitaries.

Their family comes from the countryside, and in order to avoid being looked down upon, they have to bring out their most promising younger brothers to save face!

Guo Shan said to himself: "It's not good for this guy to be too rich. I only see him a few times a year."

……

The night in the small county town was very quiet and people went to bed early.

Guo Yang also recalled what he had seen and heard in the past two days, Qingtu Lake, Laohukou, Huang'an Beach, Qinfeng Beach, Dragon King Temple...

The golden wheat straw sand barriers and the green Haloxylon ammodendron saplings compete with the yellow sand.

Let him feel his own value.

And the natural energy that would beat from time to time also gave him more expectations for the future.

In the early morning, Guo Yang slept until noon and felt that this sleep was particularly comfortable.

When I opened the window, the breeze seemed to blow in from the desert, bringing a refreshing scent.

On this day, Guo Yang did not go to the countryside again, but met with the leaders of the county and municipal party committees to discuss the subsequent sand control work.

The main thing is water conservation control along the line. In this regard, Shahai does not have such great ability and can only rely on administrative power.

At the same time, the local government also wants to rely on desert resources, strengthen traditional industries, and introduce and cultivate emerging industries, such as the layout of honeydew melon, fennel, fruits and vegetables, and Suwu sand sheep industries.

Only with industries can people be retained. The essence of desertification is a social problem.

For example, when the villagers were hired by the government to plant Haloxylon ammodendron trees, they were enthusiastic, but after planting they still grazed sheep in the Haloxylon ammodendron forest.

If we don’t herd sheep, what will we eat and where will we get the money to send our children to school?

These problems are a thorn in the side of the local area.

Now, both the local government and Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry want to remove this thorn.

In addition, the new desert contracting location of Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry has also been determined, which is to the north of Qingtu Lake Sand Area and the southeast edge of the Yabrai Mountain Range.

From the satellite map, the Yabrai Mountains lie between the two major deserts and are the most important barrier.

Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry simply and directly enclosed a piece of desert here, about 100 million acres, which also falls within the scope of acquired desertification.

The local contractor also promised a symbolic price of 1 yuan per mu per year.

However, everything still needs the final approval and filing from the Ministry of Agriculture, which is also a guarantee for Jiahe Investment.

Otherwise, you may work hard but end up doing nothing for the local authorities.

After finishing all this, it was already evening, and Guo Yang and Luo Xiu prepared to go to their eldest brother Guo Shan's house with gifts.

Guo Yang had been here twice before and arrived at the parking lot quite familiarly.

In the elevator, they were unexpectedly on the same floor as a middle-aged woman, so the woman looked at Guo Yang and Luo Xiu a few more times.

After knocking on the door, a moment later, sister-in-law Tian Ying, wearing an apron, opened the door and took the gifts the two had brought.

"Since you're here, what else do you need to bring?"

Guo Yang smiled and said, "Nothing much, I just brought two bottles of wine for my brother and bought you some cosmetics."

Hearing the noise, eldest brother Guo Shan and niece Guo Xia also came over.

Guo Yang and Luo Xiu both greeted him twice. Looking at the wine Guo Yang brought, Guo Shan's eyes lit up.

"Moutai, I've never drunk this kind of wine before."

Guo Yang smiled and said, "What time is it tonight?"

"Okay, normally no one drinks with me, so I have to have a couple of drinks tonight."

Sister-in-law Tian Ying said angrily: "All he does is drink horse urine all day long. Yangzi, tell me about your brother. He drinks at noon and wants to drink at night. It's impossible to control him."

Guo Yang looked at his elder brother's increasingly hunched figure, while his niece Guo Xia and his elder sister-in-law were busy in the kitchen. He said, "Brother, you can drink, but you still need to control the amount you drink."

Guo Shan asked Luo Xiu to sit down and said with a smile: "Don't listen to your sister-in-law's nonsense. One o'clock in the afternoon and one o'clock in the evening, the total amount for a day is not much."

"Have a drink with me tonight."

"One drink a day is enough."

Tian Ying also turned around and said, "You are allowed to drink a little tonight, so you two brothers can have a good chat."

Guo Yang got up and took a look in the kitchen. The stewed potatoes and pork ribs were about to be served. The aroma was fragrant. It seemed that his sister-in-law was quite capable in managing the household.

While we were chatting, all the dishes were ready and looked very sumptuous.

Before I had even taken a few sips of wine, my eldest sister-in-law Tian Ying said, "Yangzi, a neighbor next door introduced me to a girl who works at the county government. I heard she's pretty. Do you want to meet her?"

Guo Yang frowned, and his eyes inadvertently revealed a hint of emotion.

Guo Shan noticed it and said, "I already said I wouldn't see you, why are you still bringing it up?"

"The main reason is that if you agree to meet someone, there won't be anyone to introduce them to you in the future."

Guo Xia was also a little impatient. "Mom, my uncle is so rich and handsome now, and you are still worried that he can't find a wife?"

"Have you been bewitched by the aunt next door? Why do you always want to introduce a girl to your uncle?"

This sentence made Tian Ying stunned, "How can your Aunt Wang be such a good person?"

Guo Xia said: "Why is she so kind to our family? We are farmers who moved to the city from a deserted place."

Guo Shan took a sip of wine by himself, and the spicy taste made him sigh, "You, you have been in the city for so long, don't you feel the gap? Others are educated and knowledgeable people, and we can't play with them at all.

Take chess, for example. I watched them for a few days but couldn’t figure out what they were playing. It might as well be like planting two trees in the desert!"

"Besides, what is Yoko's current status? There are many people who care about him!"

Tian Ying bulged his eyes and started eating in silence.

Luo Xiu also remained silent, as if he didn't exist. He was even very careful when picking up food. He was thinking, maybe he could just eat bread in the car next time!

The atmosphere was a little dull for a moment. "Brother, drink."

After clinking glasses with his elder brother, Guo Yang said, "Sister-in-law is kind-hearted. I appreciate it."

Tian Ying also calmed down. The people living in this community can be considered rich or noble in this small county town.

Most of them are people within the system.

Although he could normally get along well with those women, the difference was obvious. The others had fair skin, were well-maintained, and had extraordinary manners in conversation.

Unlike her, she has dark skin and doesn't know how to use many things in the city.

If she thought about it carefully, she could recall the scene of being looked down upon, but she had ignored it in the past.

Coming back to his senses, Tian Ying said, "Yangzi, I didn't think it through and almost hurt you."

Guo Yang said quickly: "Sister-in-law, you are exaggerating. I was able to finish this book thanks to you and my brother!"

"Eat, eat!" Guo Shan clinked his wine glass with Guo Yang's, "Brother, why don't you take us back to the countryside? We are not used to living in the city."

"Xiaoxia will be getting married soon, and it will be a bit lonely for the two of us to live in this city."

Guo Yang was surprised for a moment, then looked at his niece who was already very graceful and elegant, and asked, "Xiaoxia is getting married soon too?"

Guo Xia said, "Yes, uncle, that's why my mother is so worried. You haven't made any movement at all."

My eldest brother and his wife have only one daughter. If she gets married, she might just leave them two old people here.

After thinking for a while, Guo Yang said, "How about going to Jiuquan with me?"

Guo Xia curled her lips, "You are so busy? How much time do you spend at home?"

"Let's just go back to the countryside and find a house to live in near the immigration area."

Guo Yang shook his head. "It's not difficult to find a house in the countryside, but I'm afraid you won't be able to resist going to the fields to work. Although there haven't been any major sandstorms in the past two years, the overall environment is not good."

Guo Yang also noticed that when his eldest brother said he wanted to go back to the countryside, his eldest sister-in-law glared at him with obvious anger.

This is really difficult to deal with!

Guo Yang just feels that household chores are more troublesome to handle than work, and this is still considered a simple family relationship.

Just stop thinking about it.

Maybe after a little more time, my brother will get used to it.

After dinner, Guo Xia and Tian Ying cleaned up the place while the eldest brother made tea for Guo Yang and Luo Xiu.

Guo Yang suddenly had an idea, "Brother, you are good at making tea."

Guo Shan smiled and said, "It looks like that, right? I learned this from a retired old man. He usually likes to drink tea and go to the park."

After hearing what his elder brother said, Guo Yang felt relieved.

The living circle of the elderly has become narrower and their range of activities is limited. They have nothing to do at home every day, so it is better to learn a hobby.

If you have something to do, you won’t feel lonely anymore.

Drinking tea should also be considered a hobby!

Thinking of this, Guo Yang praised him: "Brother, your technique is not only good, I think you have the demeanor of a tea artist."

"That's still a long way off."

Although he said this, Guo Shan still couldn't help showing off. He took out two cylindrical glass cups and put tea leaves in them.

Then he picked up the teapot that had just boiled water and started brewing tea in a rhythmic manner, one high and one low.

The tea leaves in the glass began to tumble after the boiling water was poured into them.

"Little brother, what do you think of my Phoenix Three Nods?"

Guo Yang gave a thumbs up, "Great!"

"Hahaha……"

The next day, when he woke up, Guo Yang couldn't help but smile when he thought about what his elder brother Guo Shan said about the three nods of the phoenix.

After getting up, Guo Yang called Luo Xiu and asked him to pick someone up.

Luo Xiu returned to the hotel last night, while Guo Yang stayed at home.

After Luo Xiu arrived, Guo Yang had a quick breakfast and took his elder brother Guo Shan out.

"Where are you going, little brother?"

“Furniture market.”

"What are you doing there?"

"I'll get you a better tea table so you can perform the Phoenix Three Nods better."

"Then do you still want to build a tea garden for me?"

Guo Yang thought about it and said, "It seems that it is not impossible."

After arriving at the market, I picked out a set of high-end tea tables for my eldest brother. Our house is spacious and there is an empty room, which can be turned into a dedicated tea room after a little cleaning and renovation.

In the future, the eldest brother can also invite the old guys he gets along well with to his home for tea and show off.

Everyone has vanity, and a person's interests and hobbies are best developed under the praise of others.

Drinking tea is also healthier than drinking alcohol.

Guo Yang took great pains to ensure his elder brother's happy life in his later years, but apart from buying a tea table, he didn't get involved in other matters.

All of them were handed over to Luo Xiu to deal with, while he himself was busy in the sea of ​​sand for a while.

The tree-planting game that I once mentioned to Zhuang Zheng has been developed and was outsourced to a small team.

Guo Yang tried it out and found it to be totally unplayable, so he simply cut it out.

Guo Yang then logged into QQ again and found that QQ Farm was not available yet.

I suddenly had an idea.

Should Jiahe also make a farm game? After just a moment of thought, Guo Yang decided to give it a try.

But it is definitely different from QQ Farm.

On the farm, players can not only enjoy the pastoral scenery, but also play the role of farm operators and complete the entire process from planting to harvesting.

During the harvesting process, players can accumulate natural energy, and when the energy accumulates to a certain level, it can be exchanged for real saplings.

Shahai Agriculture and Animal Husbandry will help players plant the sapling in the desertified area to achieve the purpose of public welfare.

The gameplay could be simpler. Among professional gamers, this kind of game might be particularly stupid and incompetent, and can only attract some bored masses...

But the purpose of Jiahe doing this is not to make money, but for charity.

Guo Yang also wanted to know whether the saplings planted in this way would also bring natural energy to the seed store.

If he wants to do something, he can do it. He now has the capital to squander.

He gave Zhuang Zheng some ideas and at the same time contacted Qu Sheng, the team leader of Huinong.com.

The subsequent game development was also handed over to the Huinong.com team. If there were not enough people, they would recruit more. In short, the project had to be started.

After finishing all this, Guo Yang felt that his trip to Minqin was almost over.

Next stop, Altai.
