Chapter 105: True Feelings Revealed
"Because I’m a local and understand the rural areas very well, it’s hard to raise the farmers’ enthusiasm without absolute confidence especially since the cycle is too long, with planting one year and harvesting the next. Many people lack confidence, but this direction is definitely right. Moreover, planting on a smaller scale will present a big problem for future harvests. So, after this research trip to Fengtai Village, I’d like you to visit our Victory Village Team 2 to see if it’s suitable for planting. I can collaborate with several farmers from our village to plant on a large scale, at least one hundred acres. This way, the future harvests can also be secured."
Lin Fan’s words brought a hint of surprise to Zhu Dan’s beautiful eyes, "Of course that’s not a problem, it’s settled then. I will report to the institute, and when the time comes, I will ensure that you get even greater support. Furthermore, I can guarantee to visit the countryside every two months to provide technical support to the farmers."
"Then it’s settled."
Lin Fan gazed at Zhu Dan’s beautiful oval face. Her delicate features exuded a sense of national peace and propriety. Perhaps because she often worked in the fields, her skin had an added layer of wheat color. Her dark floral dress, although completely concealing her figure and not revealing her slim waist and legs, could not hide her delicate features, which mustn’t be much less attractive especially considering the curve of her chest; that had to be at least a D.
Plus, her impressive height made her a rare Northern beauty. Holding her would certainly be very comfortable.
"I always say, Mayor Lin is young and promising, now you can rest assured. With him around, I guarantee your research achievements will be greatly enhanced. And once the project officially starts and sees profits, there won’t be any more problems."
Watching his daughter’s joyous smile, Zhu Defu also smiled broadly.
"So, for this first toast, I’ll drink to Uncle Zhu. First off, I want to thank you for the honor of knowing you, and then for raising such an excellent daughter, who’s truly contributed to the farmers. As a child from the countryside, I’m acutely aware of the hardships faced by our parents’ generation. If we could double every farmer’s income, that would be the greatest achievement."
With a glass in hand, Lin Fan spoke passionately, his sincere speech bringing a glow to Zhu Dan’s eyes. And Zhu Defu, being dotingly proud of his daughter, was delighted to see her smile—far happier than if he were smiling himself.
"Let’s drink to that, today the two of us must have a good drink."
Zhu Defu looked at Lin Fan with a sense of gratification, a warmth that could be hotter than seeing a son-in-law. Meanwhile, Li Libo felt increasingly irritated; after all, his wife seemed to be on equal footing with Lin Fan, chatting so congenially, much more warmly than towards himself.
