Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Liu Meilan looked at her mother's not-so-fat figure and asked in surprise, "Mom, you're not fat, why do you need to drink?"

Professor Xie waved his hand. "Now that I live with everyone, every meal is delicious! I still run every day, but my digestion isn't as good as it used to be! I remember gaining another 4 pounds in my first month on the island, and it was all in my belly."

"When the slimming tea started clinical trials, I tried it myself. I didn't expect that the 7-8 catties I gained on have all gone down now. And most importantly, it doesn't interfere with my ability to enjoy delicious food."

Wang Miaoxiang also stood up and turned in front of Liu Meilan. "Ever since I was weaned, I've also started drinking slimming tea. It's been about half a year now, and I've gradually regained my previous weight!"

Zhang Xiufang heard this and quickly came over: "Prepare some of this for me too, I want to lose weight too!"

Zhang Xiufang has a typical northern female figure: tall, broad-shouldered, and with a large hip. However, she can only be considered plump, not fat.

"Sister Xiufang, you are not fat, why do you need to lose weight? Your height and figure are the most attractive!" Liu Meilan praised, and her words were echoed by Wang Miaoxiang and Professor Xie.

Zhang Xiufang didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this. "Are you all kidding me? I've gained a full 35 pounds since I came here! Of course, this is also because I had a hard time back home and was sick, so I'm already thin!"

"But I already weigh 135 pounds. If I gain any more weight, I won't be plump anymore, I'll be burly! Then even if I have money to buy nice clothes, I won't be able to wear them. That would be a huge loss!"

Professor Xie smiled and nodded when he heard this: "Okay, you're still young, so this weight is fine. When you get older, your metabolism will slow down, and you'll gain weight, which is not good for your health!"

Zhang Xiufang agreed: "Yeah! I don't want to lose too much weight either. Just another 15 pounds, to around 120 pounds, that'll be fine! That way I'll have a nice figure, and a bit of weight will give me strength!"

Wang Miaoxiang lamented, "From the time I turned 18, until I got pregnant, my weight barely changed! But after I got married, every time I saw Meilan enjoying her meal at home, my appetite improved, and I ate more."

"One or two meals doesn't matter, but over time, I've gained ten pounds! This is even though I exercise regularly and control my diet. If I didn't exercise regularly, I would have gained at least 15 pounds."

Professor Xie and Zhang Xiufang agreed with what she said and looked at Liu Meilan. "We're like that too. Meilan's meals at home are so delicious! I can't help but drool just watching them, so I eat a lot! But you, girl, you obviously eat a lot, but where did all the meat go? Where did it all go?"

Liu Meilan rolled her eyes when she heard this. "I eat a lot and exercise a lot! I go up the mountains and down the sea every day. Sometimes when I catch a big fish, I have to fight with it for over an hour! Of course, all my strength comes from eating!"

Of course, there are other reasons, but Liu Meilan can't tell.

Liu Meilan turned the topic to production: "What kind of medicinal materials are needed to produce slimming tea? Try to set up a factory in the place where the medicinal materials are produced. This will ensure the supply of medicinal materials and reduce losses and problems during transportation."

Wang Miaoxiang replied: "Most of these medicinal herbs are produced in Hubei Province!"

Liu Meilan blinked her eyes and said, "It's not far from Shenzhen City!"

Wang Miaoxiang nodded: "So I suggest setting up a factory here, it will be more convenient to manage! Then we can promote the planting and breeding of these medicinal herbs in Hu Province."

Professor Xie also agreed, "Yes, although the current focus is on economic development, some places are indeed not suitable for setting up factories! However, they are still acceptable as raw material production bases!"

Liu Meilan thought for a moment and nodded. "That's true! Setting up a factory here will make management easier. As for herbal cultivation, the local government should be able to promote it. I don't know anyone in Hunan, so why don't I call my third brother and ask if he has any friends there?"

Professor Xie said with emotion, "Central selected candidates are distributed all over the country. Maybe your third brother can really find the right person! These young people have ideals, goals, and drive, and are often more proactive than others!"

"I originally thought that your third brother was the only one like this. After meeting Zhang Fengming, I realized that there are many people like your third brother! Just like the revolutionary martyrs of the past, those people sacrificed their lives to defend the country. Now these aspiring young people are using their actions to build the country."

Professor Xie urged, "It's evening now, your third brother should be free! Call and ask now!"

Liu Meilan took out her cell phone and called Liu Yibang.

At this time, Liu Yibang was walking with Mi Xiaonan hand in hand! After receiving the call and listening to his sister's words, Liu Yibang smiled and said: "Thank you sister for supporting the economic development of remote areas!"

Liu Meilan burst into laughter at her third brother's teasing. "I'm doing this to make money too! Now that we have such a great project, I want to get it off the ground as soon as possible! Not only can it be sold domestically, but we can also export it. There are more obese people in Europe and the United States right now!"

Liu Yibang smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and look through the address book now! I'll call you back later!"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Thank you, Third Brother!"

"You're so polite to me!" Liu Yibang smiled. He knew that his sister's project was very good, and he believed that something developed by his mother and second sister-in-law must be correct.

Once this project is operational, it is estimated that tens of thousands of people, from farmers growing medicinal herbs to workers in Shenzhen factories, will be able to escape poverty and become rich.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yibang took Mi Xiaonan's hand and walked back.

Mi Xiaonan smiled and said, "That's great! Many more people will be able to escape poverty and become rich and live a good life because of Meilan!"

Liu Yibang also laughed: "Yes! Especially in the Hubei Province area, there is less arable land and more mountains and rivers, which is actually more suitable for growing medicinal herbs. Ordinary people can make a lot of money by growing medicinal herbs at home, so they don't have to leave their hometown! With a prosperous life, children will naturally study hard!"

Mi Xiaonan, a teacher, was even happier. "Yes, all the children in Shiyang Town—no, in Shiyang District—are now in school. No one has dropped out! Yibang, you're truly amazing. Not only have you led the locals to prosperity, but you've also done everything you can to make them willingly send their children to school!"

Liu Yibang smiled and said, "So no matter how hard or tiring it is, it's all worth it! Just like you, giving up your job in the big city and settling down in the remote northwest to become a teacher, you are truly admirable!"

Mi Xiaonan also smiled happily, feeling that what she had done was recognized.

After returning to his residence, Liu Yibang opened the address book and actually found a contact, Xia Jie, in the place his sister mentioned.

The other party did not have a mobile phone number, only a work phone number, so Liu Yibang turned on the computer, logged into QQ, saw that Xia Jie was online, and sent a friend request.
