The guest who came was his third granduncle. He had a very popular name at that time, Zhou Jianguo.
Everyone in the village was like this. If one were to count the genealogy of each household, they would more or less have relatives. He was also the village chief now.
"Third Granduncle, why are you here so late?”Zhou Yunfan asked.
After getting older, Third Granduncle basically stopped walking.
She basically planted flowers at home every day and raised some chickens and ducks. At this time, she had already gone to bed.
"Hehe…I just came back from the town. Here, this is for you. The approval for building a house has been approved by the town.”
"So fast?"
She took the document and helped Third Uncle sit down.
All the necessary seals had been stamped on the documents. Including the beach, there were more than ten acres of land.
Of course, more than half of the area was a beach, so houses could not be built there. However, even if those were excluded, there was still 400 to 500 square meters of space, enough to build a mansion.
"This is nothing. Everyone in the village has signed their names. In the future, that place will be yours. Don't worry, build it. Third Uncle is waiting to drink your wedding wine.”
"Alright, I've given you the approval. I've also said that I'm old and useless. I'm sleepy.”
Seeing that the matter was settled, Third Great Uncle was also prepared to go back.
"I'll send you off." Zhou Yunfan saw that he was about to get up and quickly helped him up.
She supported him and sent him back to his house. On the way, everyone smiled and greeted them.
"Yunfan, when will the engagement party start?”
"Soon. Zhou Fu will eat it when he comes back in the next two days.”
"Alright, I'll go over and bring you a plate when the time comes.”
...
"Yunfan, did you notice?”
When they were about to reach the door, Third Granduncle suddenly asked.
"Noticed what?"
Zhou Yunfan didn't know what to say.
"Everyone made way for you along the way.”Third Great Uncle explained.
"That's right. Third Uncle, your reputation is so high.”Zhou Yunfan smiled. His third granduncle was the most senior among the living elders in the village.
"It's not just because of me. It's also because of you.”
"Ah?"
"Yunfan, forget about this year. You still have a lot of things to do. Tomorrow, the position of village chief will be handed over to you.”
Third Great Uncle did not make things clear and instead talked about other things.
In the village, the position of village chief was usually elected by people of high moral standing. There was no need for the approval of the official leaders. The villagers just had to vote.
"Third Granduncle, don't…I never wanted to be the village chief."
"There's no discussion. I'm already in my eighties. It's time to rest.”Third Granduncle said without giving her any room for refusal.
"Let me think about it." Zhou Yunfan said seriously.
In other villages, the village chief was basically dispensable. Many young people did not even know who the village chief was.
However, in the Zhou Family Village, the Village Chief had a very important keepsake, which was the genealogy. It was passed down from generation to generation like the imperial jade seal, so the most respected person in the village had always been the Village Chief.
Third granduncle looked at Zhou Yunfan. Some things might change if they were explained too clearly. He still felt that Zhou Yunfan should understand it himself.
"Alright, I'm going back to rest. I'll send you here.”
Zhou Yunfan was relieved when he saw his third granduncle's house. He nodded." Slow down and watch your steps."”
On the way home, Zhou Yunfan called Zhou Fu to ask about the situation.
He found out that the ship had been successfully bought and had set off along the coastline. As long as there were no major changes in the weather, they would arrive in two days.
"Alright, I know the situation. There are a few people on the crew. I can prepare in advance to see who has an empty room.”Zhou Yunfan asked.
"There are four."
"Alright, got it."
After hanging up the phone, the family was still sitting in the courtyard and chatting. Yang Chaoyue was also sitting in her seat shyly, replying from time to time.
"How was it? Did Third Uncle say anything?”When Father Zhou saw that his son had returned, he did not ask if he wanted to drink. He poured a cup first.
"Third Granduncle said that I will be the village chief next year.”Zhou Yunfan confessed.
"Yes... Everyone in the village is waiting for you to set off.”
Father Zhou was a sensible person. He knew why his son was the village chief.
Now, many people were waiting for Zhou Yunfan to make a fortune. They were also people who had worked in the fishing industry. Even if Zhou Yunfan didn't take them with him, they could still learn from him. If they couldn't eat meat, they could also have some soup.
Moreover, if there was such a big ship in the village, there would be many more opportunities to make money after the ship was unloaded. Transportation and labor were all jobs, and in their eyes, life was money.
"Dad, Mom, I thought about it. Why don't you guys resign tomorrow?”
"You still want us to go on a trip? No way!”Mr. and Mrs. Zhou refused immediately.
"No, I want to cooperate with the village. Isn't there a muddy beach in the north?”
"We'll pay with the village and raise them together. We'll divide them into a few areas and raise lobsters, seafood, ducks, and dried scallops. It won't be a problem for us to earn ten million a year.”
Zhou Yunfan thought for a long time about how to make his parents resign.
Didn't you guys say that life would be too boring if you resigned? Sure, I'll give you guys something to do. Breeding is better than working outside for three to four thousand a month, right? He still had a live broadcast room. He was not afraid that he would not be able to sell it. Didn't he see that those streamers all had Taobao stores?
However, it was different in the ears of Mr. and Mrs. Zhou.
"Earn ten million a year? Really?" Father Zhou was so frightened that the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground.
"What's the big deal? The scallops alone are worth one to two million yuan. Think about how expensive lobster is. "Seafood ducks are sold for 200 yuan each. The cost of breeding them is also low, so why not? We don't have to worry about them usually. We can make the net bigger and basically use the free-range method. This way, the quality of the meat is also good. I'll even say less than 10 million.”Zhou Yunfan rolled his eyes and explained.
"I know about the scallops, and I also know that lobsters are expensive. What about seafood duck?”Mother Zhou asked curiously.
Zhou Yunfan knew that there was no seafood duck on his side, so he began to explain in detail.
In fact, the name of the seafood duck was enough to tell that it was not a new breed. It was a duck that grew up eating seafood. The meat of such ducks was better, and the oil in the eggs was more than other ducks.
There was even a saying circulating outside that went,"If seafood is fed to ducks, their value will double!"
"Good! I'll resign tomorrow!"
Father Zhou made up his mind. It would be unreasonable for him to stay in the factory and not do such a big business.
"Me too. I'll inform your Auntie Yang to come over tomorrow.”Mother Zhou also agreed with a smile. She got up and went to the landline in the living room to make a call.
