Chapter 171 - 163 Return Trip
Lu Aiguo, Xia Yuan, Shitou, and Lu Yun had a private discussion, and in the end, they decided that there was no need to bring Wu Tan back to Haicheng after the New Year.
For this reason, Lu Aiguo specifically sought out Wu Tan to give him a detailed explanation, and ultimately asked him to temporarily stay and help out at the factory like the others. Once the factory was built and ready to start production, he would be in charge of developing the business in the local village and town. This would also give him some practice, so that he wouldn’t be nervous when it was time for him to handle things on his own.
With a car, there was no shortage of gasoline in Lu Yun’s possession, and Xia Yuan was pregnant, so of course it was more comfortable for them to drive back themselves.
At five o’clock in the morning, Lu Aiguo’s uncle, his wife, Lu Aibing, and Zhang Cai all stood at the doorstep of the second household to see off Lu Aiguo and his group.
Two tricycles were parked at the door, one with a small tent in the back, and the other loaded with their luggage, as well as food supplies, eggs, and other items that Lu Aiguo’s uncle and his wife insisted they take with them.
"Mr. Yang agreed readily to the matter of registering Shitou at school. How could he not agree? He couldn’t very well feel good about asking straight away for goods worth three thousand yuan. Once everything is prepared, even if you’re unwilling to show up, I’ll have to make a big fuss with gongs and drums to deliver it to him," Lu Aiguo’s uncle said while touching his tobacco pipe, ultimately deciding not to light it.
These past days, he had been particularly careful. Whenever Xia Yuan and Lu Yun were around, he would avoid smoking in front of them, or simply put out the cigarette if he couldn’t avoid it.
"As for the educational assistance, there’s no need for me to go door-to-door in such a small place. Once there’s the slightest movement from Mr. Yang’s side, the people from the primary and middle schools will come looking for me on their own. Then, I’ll discuss it with them at my leisure."
