Shengshi's mining team arrived in Jin Province two days later. After a day's rest, they went to Jijiagou and began a large-scale geological survey to determine the scope of rare earth mines.
The village chief claimed that comrades from the Geological Bureau had come to Jijiagou to conduct geological research and find out why there was no grass growing on the mountain. Maybe there would be a way to change the soil quality and turn waste into treasure. Even if you could only plant trees, it would be better than sitting idle.
.
When the villagers heard that this was a good thing, every household was very cooperative and even sent food and drinks to the mining team members. The hospitality was very considerate.
Chu Shang and Dabao also joined the work of the mining team. They were too busy to touch the ground and had no time to meet Ji Yun.
Ji Yunqi was a little sad, but she heard from her father that her brother was working and she should not disturb her, otherwise he would be angry. When he was angry, he would ignore her.
So she could only endure it and occasionally call her brother, but he was too busy and had no time to talk to her.
After half a month of this, the mining team's survey work finally came to an end. After surveying the entire village's mountainous terrain, it was basically determined that the underground was entirely filled with rare earth minerals.
This is good news, but it also means that Dabao will be even busier. He is busy negotiating with the whole village and planning the development of rare earth mines. He often has no time to answer Ji Yunqi's calls.
Another half month passed in a flash. With the help of Ji Guangming and the village chief, Dabao successfully reached an agreement with every household in Jijiagou Hilltop. One-third of the people sold the mine to Shengshi, and the rest
Two-thirds of the people choose to invest in shares, and like Ji Guangming, they will get a 30% profit.
As for those households without mountains, they will be demolished and compensated with a one-time payment corresponding to the land area for them to relocate to another home.
Of course, no matter what method they chose, Shengshi did not treat them badly. The news that Jijiagou's entire village became rich because of the discovery of rare earth mines quickly made the news and became the hottest topic of the year.
After the agreement was reached and signed, Shengshi's compensation money gradually arrived. Starting from the day it arrived, Shengshi gave everyone an extra month to buy a house and move.
At the same time, Shengshi also needs to use this month to go through various mining procedures, form a large mining team, recruit troops, purchase various equipment, etc.
The Ji family was the first to move out of Jijiagou, because the Ji family already had a house in the county town, which was a villa that was just developed two years ago. After it was renovated, they rarely lived there.
The day after the Ji family moved to the county town, Ji Yunqi excitedly went to find Dabao, but was told that Dabao had gone back. Ji Yunqi was very sad and returned home lonely.
Later, Ji Yunqi also called Dabao, but Dabao didn't answer the phone. Ji Yunqi cried sadly several times, and Ji Guangming and his wife didn't know how to comfort their daughter.
But Dabao didn't mean to leave without saying goodbye, nor did he mean to not answer the phone, but bad news came from S City that his great-grandmother was critically ill. He rushed back to S City overnight and has been staying at his great-grandma's bedside these days.
Grandma is very old and has been in poor health for the past two years. She has been in and out of the hospital every day. The family is mentally prepared for her possible death at any time, but at this time, no one can control their sadness.
Dabao stayed in front of his great-grandma for a week. At the end, his great-grandma also held his hand and left. Dabao cried like a child for the first time.
Later, my great-grandmother's funeral was held for several days. Dabao was very sad all the time. He looked like an eggplant beaten by frost. After the funeral, he fell seriously ill and had a high fever for several days before it went away, which shocked the whole family.
By the time Dabao finally got over the grief of his great-grandmother's death, another month had passed quietly.
Other people's children have started school long ago. Even Xinxin went to kindergarten. Only Dabao did not go to school, and An Zhisu did not dare to rush him.
Before her death, grandma was most worried about her great-grandson. She repeatedly asked her to pay more attention to Dabao. She said that Dabao was lively and cheerful, and he would be able to figure things out slowly by himself. He also had Ye Lancheng in his heart as if he were a eyeball.
Under the protection, Dabao is the only one who is taciturn and won't say anything sad. It will be bad for his health over time.
How could An Zhisu not care about her son? But with his son's personality, he could only answer one of her ten questions for the sake of his own mother. What could she do? She was helpless.
Ye Lancheng is also a Buddhist father. He feels that whether his son goes to school or not has little impact. If he wants to learn business, he and Cheng Xiran can follow him. If he wants to do scientific research, he can follow Chu Shang. They are the best teachers.
But An Zhisu doesn't think so. His eldest son is already quite withdrawn. If he doesn't go to school, his character will only become more withdrawn. After going to school, he can get in touch with some classmates, which will make him feel better.
This is also the reason why she didn't allow Dabao to skip a grade in elementary school before. The junior high school students are all teenagers, and only her Dabao's age is not double digits, so how can we play together.
However, now, she feels that as long as Dabao is willing to go to school, she will agree to skipping a grade.
So Dabao went to school on the premise that she agreed to him skipping a grade. He went directly to the junior class of S University and became the youngest student in the class to skip a grade.
On the first day when he skipped a grade and entered the class, An Zhisu personally sent his eldest son to the school. Along the way, he reminded him not to be too aloof at school, but to be friendly and loving to his classmates, and not to be cold all the time.
If you show your face, you won't be able to make friends.
Dabao: "Yeah."
An Zhisu:......
When I said my mouth was dry, you just said eh?
An Zhisu realized more and more how hard it was for her mother-in-law to educate Ye Lancheng when she was young. Anyone who gives birth to such a son must feel tired.
I also worry that he will not be able to find a wife when he grows up.
Speaking of a daughter-in-law, An Zhisu remembered what Lao Jiu told her. She heard that her son gave a jade pendant to a little girl. Does this mean that he has already appointed a little daughter-in-law for himself?
"Dabao." An Zhisu moved towards the eldest son and asked in a gossipy manner: "Where is the jade pendant that mother gave you?"
Jade pendant?
Dabao was stunned for a moment before he remembered what An Zhisu was asking about.
"Give it away." Dabao said nonchalantly.
An Zhisu pretended to be surprised: "How could you just give away the jade pendant? It's an heirloom of your old Ye family. I gave it to you so that you could keep it and give it to your wife in the future? Oh, you couldn't be more attracted to her, right?"
"
"No." Dabao poured cold water on it: "I didn't prepare a gift at the time, so I picked it off casually."
The implication is not to think too much, he has forgotten what the little girl looks like, he only remembers that she is a very cute girl.
An Zhisu grinds his teeth, you deserve to be single when you grow up.
She was so angry that she didn't even want to speak.
What a loser son, he doesn't understand her old mother's mood at all.
