Happiness Must Be Grasped in One’s Own Hands

During the New Year period, Mu An took Chu Youmeng and the other girl to have a great time for a few days.

At the same time, he also found time to negotiate the investment plan with the village's top officials.

In simple terms, he would be funding the construction of this village in the coming years!

From agricultural contracting to road construction, everything would be involved!

At the very least, it could create tens of thousands of jobs!

Of course, he wasn't doing this without any ulterior motives.

For example, one of his goals was to obtain priority land contracting rights here.

This would greatly help him in setting up a new grape planting base in the future!

As for the second reason, he naturally mentioned taking care of Chu Youwei's family.

Since Grandma had a strong attachment to her hometown and was unwilling to follow the young ones to the big city,

if Chu Youwei went off to university in the future, then only Grandma would be left in their hometown.

If something special happened, they would be far away in the big city and unable to help.

Thus, Mu An was willing to invest heavily in this place, largely to 'win over' the local villagers.

His request was that they should help as much as they could, and if there were any insurmountable difficulties, they could come to him!

The village and the local officials patted their chests and promised.

No matter what difficulties they encountered, they would do their utmost to provide assistance.

This made one have to marvel; sometimes, money is indeed a good thing.

As long as the money is in place, one can really enjoy a high level of treatment anywhere!

If not, it must be that the money wasn't enough!

…..

On the sixth day of the New Year.

Mu An and Chu Youmeng were preparing to leave.

"An Ge, you will come back again, right?"

Chu Youwei's eyes were filled with tears, her face full of reluctance.

[From the girl's reluctance emotional fluctuation +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +20]!]

"What's wrong? Why does it feel like a parting of life and death? We're not saying goodbye forever, are we?"

"And didn't I buy you a new phone?"

"If you miss us, you can video call us anytime!"

Mu An chuckled lightly, as usual, ruffling the girl's hair.

Of course, he didn't show favoritism.

He originally wanted to buy the latest smartphone for his grandmother.

However, his grandmother said she wasn't used to such high-tech gadgets, so she ultimately chose a flip phone with buttons.

Such phones have very few functions, but the basic calling feature is definitely not a problem!

Of course, it should also work for cracking walnuts...

"Exactly, why are you crying? You're about to cry like a little kitten!"

Chu Youmeng seriously adjusted her sister's collar and said softly.

"I... I'm not crying!"

This startled the girl, who quickly wiped her tears with both her palms and the back of her hands, fearing she would be disliked.

"An Ge, we agreed that when I go to college next year, I'll come find you... guys!"

Chu Youwei said with great determination.

It's worth mentioning that if it weren't for her grandmother insisting that she continue her studies, she might have been dragged out of school by those two unworthy parents to work illegally!

"No problem!"

Mu An smiled and made an OK gesture.

.....

On the other side.

"Big granddaughter, you must take good care of yourself out there! If you feel wronged, remember to tell Grandma, and I'll stand up for you!"

"Nai, you should also take care of your health at home! Don't tire yourself out too much; we don't lack money at home now, so you don't have to be so frugal. If little sister does something wrong, you should still say something when it's time!"

Grandma and Chu Youmeng held each other's hands, big hands holding small hands, old hands holding tender hands.

It was like a legacy flowing in the bones of every citizen of Longguo, expressing their care for each other.

This is also a weight that cannot be borne, a weight called familial love!

The car, filled with various local specialties, finally started moving.

Looking at Grandma and Youwei still standing at the village entrance, Chu Youmeng couldn't help but shout loudly.

"We're leaving! Grandma, you and little sister don't need to see us off anymore! Remember to take care of yourselves!"

In the distance, the old woman waved her hand, seemingly saying something, but it also seemed like she said nothing.

Mu An felt a slight blockage in his heart and gently patted the back of the girl who had burst into tears in his arms.

[Emotional fluctuation from Chu Youwei's longing +31, congratulations, you have received the rewards [Book - If You Are Well, It Is a Sunny Day], [Fortune +30]!]

.....

The journey back was long, and it was already nearing evening.

Mu An and Chu Youmeng safely returned to the urban area of Qingchuan.

After dropping the girl off at Sunshine Community, Mu An was about to leave when she actively held him back.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at the girl whose eyes were still slightly red, Mu An asked softly.

"I... I'm not in a good mood, I want you to come in and sit for a while..."

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Youmeng's cheeks turned slightly red, and she stammered nervously, even her accent slipped out.

"Just sitting?"

Mu An habitually teased his treasure girl.

In the past, at this moment, she would have already shyly hidden inside her house.

But Chu Youmeng now looked up at the man in front of her and said seriously,

"I... I just want to spend a little more time with you... just a little more..."

"And then... review next semester's courses together..."

Mu An couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Reviewing next semester's courses, what a lame excuse!

But as long as there was a chance to earn emotional rewards from the girl, he basically wouldn't refuse!

"Have you thought it through?"

"Mm!"

"Not regretting?"

"Not regretting!"

The girl's shy tone carried an unspoken determination.

Grandma had said that happiness needs to be fought for!

When you meet someone you like, you should express your feelings openly!

She also believed she had met the right person, the one worth holding hands with for a lifetime and growing old together!

At this moment, all the moments she had experienced with Mu An flashed through her mind.

Her inner thoughts became increasingly resolute.

'Then let's start by slowly increasing the time we spend together...'
