Time passes.
Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.
In recent days, the villagers in Xifeng Village have been very nervous. Counting the days, 'Xiao Gao' will soon be back from the south.
Although the villagers don't know what the Canton Fair is, they know that it is a fair that many foreigners attend.
Those foreigners will buy things from them.
Even though they had never even met him in person, the money they received was real money.
Last year, due to good returns, the organization decided to double the scale of goat breeding in Xifeng Village.
Originally, the main breeding category in Xifeng Village was horses.
Nowadays, raising horses has become a thing of the past, and raising sheep is the main business of Xifeng Village.
After all, horses can neither eat nor drink, so raising horses has zero output.
Raising sheep is different. Goat milk, wool, cashmere, and even mutton are all produced, and every part of the body is filled with treasures.
Most importantly, raising sheep can bring profits.
Between raising horses and raising sheep, villagers certainly vote with their feet.
However, the villagers waited and waited for several days, but still did not see Li Jie come back. At first, they didn't care much.
With such a long journey, it is normal to be delayed for two days.
But seeing that the deadline had passed, the villagers couldn't help but become anxious.
Li Jie's trip this time is related to their income in the next year. Who should worry about it?
the other side.
TRAIN STATION.
Li Jie was more than ten days late before he boarded the train back.
This time, the reason why he was so late was mainly because he met a person, an overseas Chinese.
Electric eel nationality.
When he attended the Canton Fair, Li Jie recognized the other party's identity at a glance.
That person was none other than Xu Lingjun’s father, Xu Jingyou.
Compared with when he appeared in the movie, Xu Jingyou is obviously younger, but the outline of his eyes has not changed.
Those eyes and eyebrows are exactly the same as Xu Lingjun.
In fact, Li Jie had no intention of dealing with Xu Jingyou.
What is the responsibility of a man who abandons his wife and children only for personal considerations?
But he didn't want to talk to him, but Xu Jingyou took the initiative to come to the door.
The water and grass on the Chile River side are fertile, the pasture area is vast, and the climate is not bad, which is very suitable for the growth of goats.
Although the wool and cashmere produced are not the best, they are still first-class products.
certainly.
The most important thing is that the price is cheap enough.
Products of the same quality, if produced locally in the Electric Eel Country, would be worth at least ten times more.
Therefore, even if transportation is inconvenient over Chilechuan, even if it is cross-border trade, many foreign businessmen still place orders on the spot.
However, all Li Jie got were small orders. After all, the theme of this Canton Fair was not wool products.
Among all the buyers, Xu Jingyou is the one with the largest purchase volume.
During the discussion, he also proposed that as long as the production capacity could keep up, he could eat it all even if the supply was doubled or tripled.
After learning about this, the leader who came with him immediately cheered up.
After finally meeting a foreign businessman who can communicate in his native language, he must fight hard to stabilize the other party.
During this period, local officials also sent an invitation to Xu Jingyou to visit Chilechuan in person.
However, Xu Jingyou did not agree to the invitation for inspection.
Even if Li Jie deliberately mentioned the name 'Xu Lingjun', Xu Jingyou still had no intention of moving.
Seeing Xu Jingyou's refusal, Li Jie was not surprised at all.
At first, Xu Jingyou was a capitalist who fled the country, but now he returns to China to engage in business activities in the name of a patriotic overseas Chinese.
But according to his temperament, he probably would not dare to step out of Huadu.
Chile River is so far away, and it takes nearly a month to go back and forth. What if something goes wrong during this period?
What should I do if I am detained?
However, although Xu Jingyou refused the inspection, he found Li Jie privately and quietly asked him about Xu Lingjun.
After learning that Xu Lingjun was sent to Chilechuan, the emotion on Xu Jingyou's face instantly changed significantly.
Afterwards, his tone of voice became a little heavier.
Later, when he heard about Xu Lingjun getting married and having children, his mood changed again.
Throughout the whole process, Li Jie pretended to be confused.
He didn't mean to point it out directly on the spot.
The man in front of him is Xu Lingjun's biological father no matter what. How to deal with this relationship is Xu Lingjun's choice.
What's more, even without Li Jie's early intervention, people would come to him in ten years.
at last.
Li Jie also believed that Xu Lingjun would still make the same choice even if he met Xu Jingyou in advance, given the kind of person he was.
Lao Xu and Xu Jingyou are different.
Although they are father and son, their personalities are completely different.
Lao Xu is not the kind of person who has no sense of responsibility.
Besides, the moon in foreign countries must be round?
In fact, apart from the outside world, there is no essential difference in human society, everyone is the same.
…
…
…
Huadu International Hotel.
Xu Jingyou sat alone in front of the window of the suite, looking at the scenery outside the window with a melancholy expression. He held a cigar in his hand and burned it quietly.
On the table to his left was a glass of red wine.
The red wine he brought from abroad was produced in Porto, and the price of a bottle was about US$30.
The cigars are made in Cuba and are not expensive, costing only three dollars each.
But this is not expensive, but in his opinion, in the eyes of ordinary people in the 1970s, whether it is red wine or cigars, they are luxury goods.
Xu Jingyou would never have thought that one bottle of wine he drank would be enough for Xu Lingjun to earn a year's income.
'Lingjun, I'm sorry. '
He just apologized silently in his heart.
After a while, a few tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.
When people get old, it is always easy to recall the past. Xu Jingyou has been abroad for so many years, but he has never been able to have another child.
In other words, Xu Lingjun was not only his eldest son, but also his only son.
'Dad, I'm sorry for you. '
Xu Jingyou never expected that he would hear news about his son again. Before that, he thought that his son might be dead.
After all, the country was so chaotic back then, and it was easy for orphans and widowers to encounter accidents.
Therefore, he never thought about looking for his son.
But now, an unexpected order has brought some hope.
Although the information given by that 'Xiao Gao' was very vague, Xu Jingyou had a hunch that Xu Lingjun should be his son.
Lao You, a native of Shanghai, decentralization, age, and basic information all match.
In fact, Xu Jingyou really wanted to agree to the invitation from local officials and go to the ranch to inspect the farm in person and confirm the whereabouts of his son.
But, he didn't dare to go.
On the one hand, he is worried about his failed hopes, and on the other hand, he is worried about his personal safety.
