Chapter 67

"Old Cao, Wang Yong, what are you two chatting about so happily?" Godmother came out with a plate of fruit and placed it on the stone table.

"Hehe, Wang Yong just said that we should go back to the village to enjoy our lives. He said he will take care of our lives from now on," Cao Wei said with a smile.

"Hehe, that's great! I've owed you so much over the years. From now on, I'll stay with you in our hometown and make up for it!" Godmother said emotionally.

"It was my own choice, all my own choice!" Uncle Two said anxiously.

Looking at these two elderly people who were already in their sixties, although there were no grand vows or sweet words, their story was the most touching. After decades of waiting and longing, their reunion was filled with deep love in every ordinary word and every unintentional glance.

Watching Godfather and Godmother look at each other with deep affection, forgetting everything around them, in their eyes, there was only each other. The whole world seemed to disappear. Wang Yong felt as if the world only had these two, the happiest old people in the world.

Wang Yong didn't want to disturb the two elderly people who were immersed in happiness, but he thought it was getting late and he needed to prepare for the big dinner. Besides, he estimated that Brother Zhao's family should be arriving soon, and he should call him first. Given his relationship with Godfather, if he didn't know the truth about Godfather and Godmother, something might happen that could hurt Godmother. Wang Yong had no doubt about this, knowing Brother Zhao's slightly rogue-like personality.

"Oh! I can't watch this, it's too embarrassing!" Wang Yong said with a mischievous smile, then ran into the kitchen to give the two elders some space. At this moment, even as their godson, he felt like an extra presence.

After running into the kitchen, Wang Yong calmed down. He took out his phone and called Brother Zhao, preparing to tell him about Godfather and Godmother.

"Brother Zhao, where are you?"

"Sigh! Wang Yong, what is your Uncle Two thinking?" Brother Zhao's tone was filled with deep dissatisfaction.

"You mean your Uncle Two, not my Uncle Two?"

"What? What are you saying? It's not that bad! I'm telling you, Wang Yong, Uncle Two is old, no matter what, you can't be so heartless! If it's because of this, don't blame me for hitting you!" Brother Zhao was really upset.

"Brother Zhao, where are you going with this?" Wang Yong rolled his eyes and continued, "I recognized him as my godfather today."

"What? No way! You two are really alike! Both of you like to surprise people! Is there anything else? Just say it all at once, so I don't have to be shocked again." Brother Zhao was quite depressed by the two consecutive pieces of news. Why didn't he tell him anything? What's going on?

On the phone, Wang Yong told Brother Zhao the real story of Godfather and Godmother. For a long time, there was no sound from Brother Zhao. Wang Yong knew he needed time to digest this dramatic and melodramatic news, so he hung up and focused on preparing the dinner.

As night fell, the small courtyard was filled with laughter and joy. A warm and cozy atmosphere enveloped the place, driving away the cold of the dark winter night and warming the hearts of everyone. The stars in the sky blinked, as if they were also moved by the touching love story of Godfather and Godmother.

That night, Wang Yong slept very soundly. He had a dream where he saw the young Godfather and Godmother happily chasing each other in the mountains, their young faces radiating immense happiness...

The next morning, Wang Yong was in a bit of a predicament. Because he woke up late, he was caught in bed by Godmother and Zhao Chunsheng. The mischievous Zhao Chunsheng even took several photos of Wang Yong, planning to extort money from his supposedly wealthy and influential uncle. Although Wang Yong, in his pajamas, wasn't worried about his so-called sexy photos, he still pretended to be angry and chased Zhao Chunsheng around the house. The whole courtyard suddenly became lively, filled with Wang Yong's angry shouts, Zhao Chunsheng's pleas for mercy, Godmother's soothing words, and Brother Zhao's scolding.

In the end, Wang Yong exchanged a brand new Black Rice phone for Zhao Chunsheng's phone and deleted the "sexy photos" on it. After deleting the photos, Wang Yong immediately turned his back on Zhao Chunsheng, showing no intention of giving him any money. Zhao Chunsheng, furious, took a big bite out of the fried dough stick, as if it were the annoying uncle. Seeing Zhao Chunsheng glaring at Wang Yong, Godmother laughed and said to him:

"Alright! Don't be angry with your uncle. Grandma will take you to buy a phone later." Godmother's words instantly made the boy smile. He called her "Grandma" affectionately, making Godmother laugh even more.

Today's breakfast was very rich, with a variety of dishes that both northerners and southerners enjoy, such as pancakes, fried dough sticks, soy milk, tofu pudding, steamed buns, siu mai, rice noodles, and milk. There were also Western dishes like bread and salad. The table was filled with over a dozen dishes. It was hard to imagine where Godmother got all these.

Watching everyone enjoy their meal, Wang Yong suddenly thought of a phrase: "It's hard to please everyone." In the future, as the village develops, more tourists and business people will come, and they will come from all over the country. Breakfast would be a significant issue. Moreover, these dishes could also be served for lunch and dinner. For example, steamed buns and rice noodles.

Perhaps, if the village develops well, he could build a special food street in the village, gathering all the famous snacks from across the country. Wow! That would be spectacular! To achieve this, it would be quite challenging. The famous snacks from different regions might be easier to gather, relying on the influence of Old Zhang. However, the lesser-known local snacks would require more effort to discover. The thought of traveling across the country and exploring the vast land of China made Wang Yong a bit nervous. But then he thought, this could also be a good idea. After marrying Yuan Yuan, he could take the whole family to travel across the country. Thinking about this, Wang Yong couldn't help but stand up excitedly.

"Hey! Why are you so jumpy?" Brother Zhao, who was just about to try some soy milk, was startled by Wang Yong's sudden movement and dropped the bowl, spilling the soy milk on the ground. He wouldn't be able to taste the soy milk today.

"Hehe!" Wang Yong scratched his head, embarrassed. He then shared his idea with everyone, hoping to get their approval. However, except for Godfather, everyone was against it, especially the mischievous Zhao Chunsheng, who mocked him for being unrealistic.

Godmother, from a business perspective, sincerely analyzed the situation for Wang Yong. She believed that with the current state of Half Mountain Village, it couldn't support such a plan. Perhaps in a few years, when Half Mountain Village develops to a certain extent, it could be considered. However, she didn't think a village could develop to that level unless some miracle happened, making Half Mountain Village a place like Xihua Village.

Godfather, however, smiled and remained silent. He knew Wang Yong very well. With the current super vegetables, golden eggs, and delicious and nutritious fruits, it might take less than three years for Half Mountain Village to develop to a terrifying level. By then, Half Mountain Village would not only be famous nationwide but might even go global.

Seeing everyone's opposition, Godfather recounted all the things Wang Yong had done since returning to the village. The astonishingly expensive vegetables, the golden eggs from fairy tales, the delicious and nutritious fruits, and the special substances they contained, shocked everyone. Especially the childlike Zhao Chunsheng, who, upon hearing that his unreliable uncle had a flock of golden egg-laying chickens, immediately forgot about the phone and begged Wang Yong to give him some golden eggs and a golden egg-laying chicken.

"Are the super vegetables and golden eggs that are so popular in Beijing recently made by Wang Yong?" Godmother asked in surprise.

"Are the so-called longevity fruits that cost 888 yuan per kilogram in Tianhai recently grown by you?" Brother Zhao also asked with wide eyes.

"Hehe, the super vegetables and golden eggs in Beijing are mine. I'm not sure about the fruits in Tianhai. They were all bought by a Beijing businessman, and I don't know if he sold them in Tianhai," Wang Yong said, looking at everyone's surprised faces. He felt a sense of pride, realizing that his products had gained considerable fame over time. He wouldn't have to worry about a lack of customers when the greenhouse eco-restaurant opened.

Wang Yong then talked about the giant greenhouse eco-restaurant currently being built in the village and the famous Chinese cuisine master, Old Zhang, who would be the head chef. Before everyone could react, he mentioned the cooperation with Jinxing Erguotou to build a factory, with the village contributing land. This immediately piqued everyone's curiosity. They couldn't understand how Wang Yong had managed to pull off these feats.

Think about it, a third-rate college graduate who couldn't make it in the city, returned to his hometown and, in just half a year, built a thriving business from scratch. This required extraordinary wisdom and luck! Wang Yong himself always believed he was just lucky. Without the small world and the AI, Little Light, he would still be working hard to earn a living for himself and his brother. Now, with these two incredible treasures, he had achieved great success, which was truly a stroke of luck.

Everyone, except Godfather, kept asking Wang Yong questions about what interested them. Zhao Chunsheng was particularly interested in the golden eggs, Brother Zhao was fascinated by the super vegetables, and Liu Ying, upon hearing the story of the main character and the little pitiful one, asked with red eyes how they were doing. Godmother, as a successful businesswoman, suggested that Wang Yong set up a company to manage his treasures. She no longer opposed his plan to gather famous snacks from across the country in Half Mountain Village and offered to help him with it.

Given Godmother's capabilities, wealth, and connections, Wang Yong wasn't worried that she wouldn't do a good job. However, he didn't want her to be constantly traveling, so he firmly refused. This made Godmother quite unhappy, but when she learned that it was because Wang Yong didn't want her to worry and work hard, she smiled and said, "You silly child, do you think the people under me are just eating their meals? If I, as the CEO, had to do everything myself, what would be the point of having them?"

Wang Yong was taken aback. Yes, with Godmother's business, she wouldn't lack capable people. So he said, a bit embarrassed, "I just didn't want you to worry and work hard."

The group chatted happily, and before they knew it, it was noon. Godfather said he wanted to eat dumplings for lunch, so everyone immediately got to work, chopping the filling, kneading the dough, and preparing to roll out the wrappers. Even the mischievous Zhao Chunsheng took on the task of boiling water. They all chatted and laughed as they made the dumplings. Zhao Chunsheng, after lighting the gas stove and boiling the water, returned to the living room and turned on the TV, which immediately caught everyone's attention.
