There was no need for a loan.
Xu Li shook his head, "I want to multiply what you said by several times. If it comes to it, I can just send the two kids to Jinling; they won't starve."
Andrei took a sip of his drink, "Dad still has some savings here; if you want, I can give it all to you."
"No need, Dad, I have money."
The second son, You, who had been silent, raised an eyebrow at him, "Looks like you're favored more than the rest of us."
Andrei ignored him and patted Xu Li on the shoulder, "How big do you want to go?"
"Much bigger than what Brother Three suggested!"
The adults stared at Xu Li's outstretched hands, and Ivan exclaimed, "Are you crazy?"
Xu Li shook his head firmly, "If we're going to do it, we might as well do it big. If we keep being stingy, when will we ever get anywhere? There's an old saying in our place: the bigger the storm, the more valuable the fish!"
He glanced over at Anna and Eva, who were happily enjoying their dinner, and smiled. "Once I make my first profit, I'll buy a big house in Irkutsk. Then we can live in the city during winter and stroll around the malls instead of staying cooped up at home all day."
The others fell silent; this young man was increasingly endearing to Andrei and Natasha.
Not long after that, Xu Li got busy, running around with his father-in-law all day. Vasily was exhausted from helping him with paperwork and had developed a bit of resentment. However, he thought about how if his little sister's husband became successful, it would benefit his parents and sister as well, so he forced a smile and continued moving between various departments.
Spring had barely begun when rows of construction equipment were brought to an open space outside the small village. The construction company’s manager accompanied Xu Li and Andrei as they toured the vast area. They ultimately selected three cattle sheds while leaving ample space for future expansions.
All the men in the village were invited to help chop down trees and build low fences. Every noon, the women would come with laughter and food baskets to deliver hearty lunches to everyone. Andrei sat on his black horse watching his old buddies chatting and laughing together; it felt just like the old days when they shared meals from a communal pot.
"Dad's eating!"
Anna approached with two large baskets in hand, followed by the fluffy Xiong Da and Xiong Er. The two little ones were quite lively as they bobbed along beside Anna until they reached Andrei's horse, standing up on their hind legs to grab the food basket from her hands.
These two little brats spent far more time clinging to Anna and Eva than Xu Li did feeding them daily, which made someone quite displeased.
Andrei cheerfully dismounted from his horse and plopped down on the picnic blanket. He took a bite of meat from Lava that was mixed with Sara meat and asked, "Is Eva home alone?"
"There's Aunt Taliva too."
Anna took off the large milk bottle hanging from her waist and handed it to the two Mishas. They sat quietly on the blanket like little human children, drinking milk sweetened with honey. Andrei patted their heads while eating and glanced over at the construction crew not far away.
