When going down the river, the boat speed was very fast. When going back upstream, the sailors took turns rowing, and it took nearly four hours to get back to Sun City.
Fortunately, the group of big white geese were not in the river, and the journey was smooth.
Seeing the boat coming back, the people waiting on the shore cheered.
The boat set off in the early morning, but it was almost dark and it still hadn't returned. More and more people came to the river to wait worriedly.
Huahong and Jinzai were both there, but Lin Yan hadn't come back yet. They heard someone said that the ship was testing the waters today, so they hurried over.
This water test was completely different from the last time. The boat had to travel along the Sun River. Huahong and Jinzai were even more worried after knowing it.
As soon as the boat docked, when she saw Lin Yan jumping off, Huahong squeezed to the front, pulled her and said, "Why didn't you tell us and went by yourself?"
"Auntie, you're here too." Lin Yan looked at Hua Hong with a smile, "I didn't plan to go far, so I didn't tell you. I'm back now, nothing happened."
Jin Zai stood at the edge, looking at Lin Yan, making sure she was fine, and then said: "Just come back. You haven't eaten yet. I'll prepare it for you and wait for you to come back to eat."
"I happen to be hungry, let's go back quickly."
The family of three went home together. On the way, Lin Yan talked about what he saw today, "The boat sails much faster on the water than on land. It only took more than an hour to reach the big white goose."
"You didn't provoke those geese, did you?" Huahong asked worriedly. She had seen the fighting power of the big white geese with her own eyes, and she was very scared. Now there are people in the city who raise geese, but after much hesitation, they still don’t dare to raise them.
Lin Yan shook his head, "Mom, I'm not stupid. I know that those geese are not to be messed with. We waited for the geese to land before we went there, and we didn't run into them when we came back. Don't worry, I know that those geese are not to be messed with. No. They will take the initiative to look for trouble. By the way, today we saw a group of savages, just downstream of the Sun River. They live in tree houses, have flexible hands and feet, and are very good at climbing trees."
"What tribe are they from?" Jin Zai asked curiously.
Lin Yan shook his head, "We don't understand each other because of the language barrier. We can only communicate with each other through gestures. I don't know what they are called, and there are not many of them. Just like the life of the Sun Tribe before, we will call them the Tree House Tribe."
This was also discussed on the boat when we got back. We couldn't keep calling them savages. The most distinctive feature of that group of people was that they lived in tree houses, and Feng Wenwen felt that calling them that was simple and clear.
"Treehouse Tribe, then they didn't bring it up for us to take a look?" Huahong felt that Sun City was the best and should be widely advertised so that all the savages could come and open their eyes.
"They were also worried when we met for the first time. We, a group of people, look different from them, so we wouldn't dare to follow them easily. Don't worry, they will definitely come in the future."
Lin Yan wants to attract all the surrounding small ethnic groups to Sun City. There is strength in numbers, and only by uniting together can we play a greater role.
"It only takes four or five hours to row, and you can reach the tree house tribe very quickly. They are very curious about our things, and they will bring a few people to our place to have a look when we meet next time."
Chatting all the way home, Lin Yan made dumplings as a bonus today. Lin Yan ate a bowl and praised: "My mother's cooking is getting better and better. No wonder the restaurant's business is booming. From now on, I don't have to worry about no one coming to eat."
"The foundation of the restaurant has been purchased. It is in the center of the commercial street. There are many people there these days and they are busy building houses. The Iron Man also bought land in the commercial street and has built three houses."
"Tieda is so rich?" Lin Yan was surprised, "It must have cost a lot of money to build those three houses."
"Yes. It cost a fortune to buy the foundation, a fortune to build the house, and the tools for the tung oil workshop also cost money. I really didn't realize that Tieda had saved so much money. Speaking of which, it was all thanks to that guy Oxen. Every household in the city hires iron giants to plow the fields and earn money."
Huahong was very sorry, why didn't she keep the cow in the first place?
Lin Yan joked: "Mom, I'm still jealous of other people's cattle. It's been a few years, it's time to turn the page. Our family is not short of money. Tie Da can make money, but he has to work hard."
"Let me just say this, who doesn't want that cow?" After Huahong said, she thought of Tie Er, "Orchid is lucky, Tie Er married her and brought the cow with him."
"That's Tie Er's bull, so you should follow him."
Hua Hong got excited, "You don't know, many girls in the city regret it. If they knew that Tie Er was the leader, there would be no way that Lan Hua could take advantage of it."
"Is there such a thing?" Lin Yan heard this for the first time and asked curiously, "Is there any girl who really regrets it?"
"Of course it's true. Today's girls are smart. After getting married, they can take charge of the family and live their own lives. Many of them are eyeing the right man. It turns out that Tie Er can't be ranked. They are all dumbfounded."
"Then who is the most popular man now?" Lin Yan suddenly became interested and started gossiping with Hua Hong.
Jin Zai suddenly interrupted: "No need to ask, anyone with a discerning eye will know it at a glance."
Lin Yan was surprised and said, "Dad, do you also know about this?"
"When people who come to the restaurant talk about it, I just listen."
"Tell me quickly, who are the most popular men?"
Lin Yan really didn't know about this. He was busy in the laboratory all day and had no time to gossip. Unexpectedly, people in Sun City could keep up with the trend, so she was left behind.
Huahong smiled and said: "It is said that they made a list of the most popular ones. The first one is Mao Mu. He is enthusiastic and cheerful, can chat with everyone, and is very popular among girls. The second one is Lin Yun. , have good energy, good craftsmanship, and make more money. However, I heard that the list has changed recently."
"What changes? Have Mao Mu and Lin Yun been squeezed out?" Lin Yun asked hurriedly. She really didn't expect that they would be at the top.
"That's right. You are also very familiar with this person." Huahong smiled and let it slip.
Lin Yan thought about the people he knew, "They are Shuisheng, right?"
"Yes, Shui Sheng turned sixteen this year and is an adult. Recently, many women have seen his changes. He has outstanding abilities, unique temperament, and sharp mind. They quickly squeezed out Mao Mu and Lin Yun."
Huahong felt very strange when talking about this, "What do these women think about all day long? If you ask me, Blue Star is the best candidate."
Lin Yan's eyes widened, "Auntie, you said Blue Star is also on the list?"
"Yes, just behind Lin Yun."
Lin Yan looked at Jin Zai, "Which man do you think can be the top one?"
Jin Zai thought about it seriously, "Black Earth."
"Hetu doesn't count. He already has a family and is not qualified to be on the list." Huahong said hurriedly.
Jin Zai scratched his head, "I can't say the rest, they're all pretty good."
Lin Yan no longer made things difficult for Jin Zai, and continued chatting with Hua Hong about the men on the list. What surprised her was that there were thirty people on the list, and the majority were from the military department.
