Chapter 73 -73: Inspection Team (Four Updates)
He Xiuyu lowered his head to look at Xiao Hu, feeling good, he had time to play with the child, “What do you mean by ‘redeeming one’s mistakes with good deeds’?”
“It means I did something wrong, so I need to do something meritorious, and then use it to make up for the mistake I made,” Xiao Hu paused, eagerly pleading, “I learned this when I went to a study class with my mom. Uncle He, these four characters fit me the best, please give me this opportunity. I’ll definitely protect Rongrong well.”
He Xiuyu glanced in the direction of the Li family, guessing Sister-in-law Li probably didn’t know her son had run over here. If she did, she certainly wouldn’t let Xiao Hu come and cause trouble. He didn’t have time to look after two children.
Just then, Qiao Qingyu also came out, catching the tail end of the conversation. She knew that Xiao Hu still wanted to follow them to the base. He really never learned, but it seemed only Sister-in-law Li could handle this rascal. Qiao Qingyu smiled, “Xiao Hu, your mom’s here.”
Though he was only a five-year-old, at that moment, Xiao Hu stood straight with his little waist rigid, his small hands tightly clutching a toy gun, and he said seriously, “Aunt Qiao, please plead my case. You’re Uncle He’s wife; he will definitely listen to you.”
He Xiuyu, “…”
It seemed Mr. Li also listened to his wife at home.
Qiao Qingyu chuckled. The little rascal sure knew quite a bit.
But she also noticed that, after this incident, Xiao Hu seemed to have genuinely grown up a bit.
And then she saw Xiao Hu’s tears streaming down his face.
“Uncle He, Aunt Qiao, I promise not to cause you any trouble…”
“Xiao Hu, don’t bother Uncle He and your Aunt Qiao. Hurry up and come home with me.”
Sister-in-law Li really did show up, and Qiao Qingyu hadn’t lied to Xiao Hu. She pulled Xiao Hu over without resistance from him, and he obediently stood by her side, only there was a look of pitiful pleading in his eyes.
Qiao Qingyu thought about it. Besides going to the wasteland to check things out, she was also planning to buy some things from the Xiaxi Commune supply store. On her way back, she could ask Fang Xiaomei to find her a horse-drawn cart.
It might be better to take Xiao Hu out for a distraction, as he was now full of regret and guilt.
“Sister-in-law Li, let Xiao Hu come with me. I’ll bring him back in the afternoon.”
Xiao Hu’s tears stopped immediately.
Sister-in-law Li thought of how the child, whether at the base hospital or at home, had woken up from nightmares for three nights in a row, covered in sweat. Her heart softened, and she agreed.
She then went home and got a small cloth bag for Xiao Hu with two buns made from mixed grain and a kettle of water.
And she told Qiao Qingyu, “I’m making potato starch dumplings tonight, so you don’t need to buy food from the supply store.”
Qiao Qingyu had once tasted the potato starch dumplings made by Sister-in-law Li, and although they were dark in color, they were truly delicious.
Meanwhile, at the same time, a plane landed at Xichuan Airport.

Xichuan’s main leaders and staff went to meet it, and among them, following a leader, was Su Yunyao.
The inspection team that was originally supposed to arrive three days earlier had been delayed due to the storm.
Fortunately, they didn’t change their plans and arrived in Xichuan as scheduled, so this reception was very important.
The leaders of Xichuan City had also been anxious these past few days.
Three days and nights of storm had affected 60% of the region in Xichuan.
This wasn’t a small figure, especially with Xichuan’s finances being tight in all respects, such a disaster had overnight given the leaders much more grey hair.
There were crops to replant, a large amount of seeds needed, collapsed houses, injured commune members, and even the areas around the city were affected.
The rainstorm stopped at three o’clock in the morning, and Mr. Xu hardly slept all night.
While waiting for the statistical numbers, he also had to personally receive a delegation from the M country.
A group of about a dozen people descended from the plane; they had chartered the flight.
Men and women, old and young, those with yellow skin and blue eyes, all stepped down the stairs with beaming smiles.
Among them, two stretched out their hands and looked up at the blue sky, taking several deep breaths of the air as if they were utterly intoxicated.
Mr. Xu led the group to welcome them.
The head of this inspection group was the president of the Wulong Group from M country, Wu Tai.
He was in his fifties this year, but because he took good care of himself, he looked quite young.
Dressed in a sharp suit, he looked refined and scholarly.
Accompanying them was Lu Ye from the Provincial Development and Reform Commission.
A young man in his early twenties, tall and handsome, with a smiling face and pleasant demeanor.
He introduced the delegation from the Wulong Group to Mr. Xu and the others with a gentle voice, exchanging greetings and handshakes.
At this moment, Su Yunyao, who was by Mr. Xu’s side, was nothing like the sharp and troublesome person she had been when facing Qiao Qingyu.
With a smile that was just right, fluent in foreign languages, and a stunning appearance, she attended to details throughout the journey, quickly meshing well with the members of the delegation, while Lu Ye watched her deftly handle the situation with evident interest.
It must be said that those who come out of the base are indeed quite exceptional.
Lu Ye’s gaze carried a touch of depth.
The group arrived at a hotel in Xichuan City, and upon hearing that the area had suffered from a disaster, Wu Tai, as the leader of the delegation and president of the Wulong Group, didn’t let his team rest but instead took the initiative to visit the planned sites.
To see what the surrounding environment was like and whether there was value for investment. Of course, he wouldn’t say that outright—he made it seem like he was definitely going to invest, so the leaders of Xichuan truly treated him like a VIP.
Su Yunyao kept close to Mr. Xu’s side, and such scenes and such a group of people were not an issue for her.
That’s why Mr. Xu was very satisfied with Su Yunyao’s performance.
He even consulted her for her opinion on which of the several potential sites they should visit first.
Su Yunyao pointed seriously, “Mr. Xu, we should start here to gauge their attitude.”
This was where Wulong Group’s future branch plant would be, and Wu Tai was very satisfied with the location.
In her previous life, she had accompanied a similar inspection group, but they had failed to secure an investment. This time, she was sure to bring in a substantial amount.
She also knew the young man named Lu Ye.
A future tycoon in the business world.
It was said that he had a very strong backing.
After some discussion with the other leaders, Mr. Xu agreed that it would indeed be better to start with this area because, although the environment was average, the area was large, and the transportation was convenient. They also used this region to test the delegation’s interest.
To speak frankly, for the entire leadership of Xichuan, what they needed was timely help in a crisis.
At this moment, Mr. Qian of Xiaxi Commune wasn’t even aware that an inspection group had arrived in Xichuan. As a vice director of the commune, he was not privy to such news.
He was in his office reviewing disaster data, preparing to meet with everyone to discuss how to proceed with the work.
Then, he heard the secretary report, “Vice Director Qian, there’s a jeep parked at the entrance of our commune; it seems to belong to Mr. He, the Chief Engineer from the base.”
