The news of Gu Zhan's return to Shanghe Village was known to everyone in the village before dark.

Today, Zhou Jiawang has become the village party secretary of Shanghe Village, but the management philosophy of the cattle farm has always been implemented in accordance with the system formulated when the cattle farm was opened.

The common interests prompted everyone to think and work in the same direction, and the village collective economy was not affected at all as it gradually declined.

Zhou Jiawang knew about Gu Zhan's return from the beginning, but after all, he and Gu Zhan did not have the same friendship as Zhao Baogen, so it would be awkward for him to come to his house rashly.

After thinking it over, he decided to go find Zhao Baogen first.

Although Zhao Baogen no longer holds any position in the brigade, the current life of the villagers in Shanghe Village is the result of him and Gu Zhan trying every possible way to lead them out of poverty.

Therefore, no matter whether he is the village party secretary of Shanghe Village today, he is highly respected by the younger generations and his prestige remains the same as before.

"Brother Zhao!" Zhou Jiawang's voice came from outside the gate.

Before Zhao Baogen walked out of the main hall, Zhou Jiawang had already walked in through the front door.

"Jiawang? What's the matter with you coming here now?"

Zhou Jiawang strode up to Zhao Baogen, clasping his hands together. After a few seconds of hesitation, he said, "Captain Zhao, Gu Zhan is back. He's back to the village."

Zhao Baogen smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I heard about it this afternoon. For four years, I could only hear that guy's voice on the phone, and now he's finally back."

Hearing Zhao Baogen being so casual, Zhou Jiawang felt a little annoyed. If he had known earlier, he would have established a good relationship with this guy. Why would he be so embarrassed to meet him?

"Captain, Gu Zhan is back. Should we ask him to provide some advice on our village's cattle farm? As you know, there are many new cattle farms this year, and our performance is much worse than in previous years."

When Zhou Jiawang mentioned the profitability of the village cattle farm, Zhao Baogen sighed, "Okay, I'll pack up and go with you to meet this guy."

"Hey, okay, Brother Zhao."

The two were discussing where to start the conversation when they heard the sound of a bicycle outside.

While Zhao Baogen was stunned, Gu Zhan had already put down his bicycle and walked in with a bag. "Uncle Zhao, are you home?"

"Hey, kid Gu." Zhao Baogen walked up to Gu Zhan with a smile, took the things in his hand, and led him into the main room: "Come on, let's go inside."

"Oh, okay, Uncle Zhao."

After not seeing each other for a long time, Gu Zhan saw under the dim light that Zhao Baogen's burly body had gradually bent over, and his face had many more traces of time.

Gu Zhan's eyes were a little hot. He paused, calmed down, and asked, "Uncle Zhao, have you been okay these past few years?"

Zhao Baogen smiled and brought a cup of tea to Gu Zhan, placing it in front of him. He then sat beside Gu Zhan and looked at his increasingly handsome figure. He laughed heartily and said, "Good boy, you are becoming more and more successful. Your figure is like your father's."

Gu Zhan smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhao."

"Hey, kid, you're being polite when talking to me. We're just father and son."

Seeing the two men, who were not father and son but were better than father and son, talking back and forth, Zhou Jiawang felt a little sour in his heart. This old man Zhao Baogen was really lucky. How come the child he used to take care of was able to get into university and be so promising?

After the two finished chatting, Zhou Jiawang smiled and exchanged a few polite words with Gu Zhan.

"By the way, Gu, you know that the cattle farm in our village isn't doing very well this year. I'm really worried. Can you think of any solutions for us?"

After saying that, he rubbed his hands embarrassedly and said, "Boy, you have seen the world. Unlike the rest of us, to be honest, we haven't seen much. There are many things we have never heard of, let alone seen. Even if we try, we can't come up with a good solution. Whether the cattle farm in Shanghe Village can succeed depends on you, the younger generation."

In May, Zhao Baogen wrote to me and told me that the Shanghe Village cattle farm had poor performance this year. However, at that time, I was far away in Beijing. Even if I had a good solution, it would be out of reach. It was really difficult to solve the problem.

Now that I'm back, I must take care of the cattle farm.

"Uncle Zhou, don't worry. There will definitely be a way to solve the problem. Don't worry. This cattle farm will not fail, and it will not lose money."

Gu Zhan's words were like a reassurance, instantly calming Zhou Jiawang's turbulent state of mind.

Thinking of my anxious state just now, I felt a little embarrassed.

"Boy, what method are you talking about?" Zhou Jiawang was very curious about why Gu Zhan was so confident.

"Uncle, I have to meet with the people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences tomorrow before we can discuss this."

In recent years, with the gradual development of cattle farms, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has obtained a large amount of test data through the promotion and breeding of Anhe No. 1. With further cultivation, the "Anhe No. 2" cattle has come out, but the specific promotion method is still uncertain.

Xia Yu had already told Gu Zhan about this at the beginning of the year. Gu Zhan had already made a plan in his mind at that time. Now is a good time to discuss it with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Guo Zhida was promoted to vice president of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and now all the work in Shanghe Village is in charge of Xia Yu.

Xia Yu admired Gu Zhan so much that when he heard that Gu Zhan had returned yesterday, he thought of visiting him. However, before he went there, Gu Zhan came to his house.

With the increase in funding allocated by higher authorities, the situation of the research group in Shanghe Village gradually improved. They built a dormitory next to the laboratory, which is close to their workplace.

"Hello, Team Leader Xia!" Gu Zhan smiled brightly, and his white shirt was a little dazzling in the sunlight.

Although Xia Yu is now the leader of the research group, he still has the same mentality when he sees Gu Zhan. His temperament is really similar to Sun Yuan.

"Comrade Gu Zhan, welcome back."

After a brief greeting, Gu Zhan and Xia Yu talked about the situation at the cattle farm.

Xia Yu sighed and said, "The problem you mentioned does exist now. Now that the market is open, many people have set up private companies to raise cattle. As a result, there are more people raising cattle, but the supply of fodder is in short supply, and the price is rising year by year. Our cattle-raising industry has high costs and low prices, so the economic benefits are very low. Shanghe Village is doing very well by not losing money."

"Indeed, it's not easy for them to persist."

"What are you thinking now? Gu Zhan, with your personality, you won't just sit back and watch."

Gu Zhan chuckled and said, "Of course!"
