Chapter 58.

Latest chapter!

The summer harvest is a little later in northern Ukraine than in the south, and the wheat in the fields only begins to turn yellow at the end of June.

Maxim Noskov returned from Odessa on Friday to attend the last purchase talks at that fertilizer plant there, and for the last two days has been traveling from farmland to farmland all over the Rivne region to check on crops that are about to ripen, and as a devout old Soviet communist, even though he is now a non-partisan and has not rejoined the reorganized U.S.S.R., Maxim still holds certain beliefs within himself.

Being a member of this country yourself, you always try to do something for these people of this country.

Even though everyone around him has gone into some sort of faith-collapsing frenzy over the years, Maxim Noskov remains unchanged, and certainly isn't a pedantic man in his bones, or he wouldn't have accepted the patronage of some super-rich man from the United States.

It wasn't until late in the evening that Maxim left the field with several staff members and officials from the Rovno region's agriculture department, but instead of returning directly to the city, he turned to a nearby agricultural machinery center.

Inside the Agricultural Machinery Center, 50 brand new, large combines are parked like soldiers in full gear.

This is Maxim again through the first family agricultural loan from the Netherlands to purchase, 50 harvesters, for the Rovno State summer harvest is just a drop in the bucket, once the harvesting begins, even if 24 hours around the clock, in fact, can not solve too many problems, most of the crops still need farmers to harvest by hand.

To complete a fully mechanized harvest, just in Rovno I region, you need at least 1,000 harvesters.

But, it's better than nothing.

Everything needs to be done one step at a time.

Seeing these large farming equipment, Maxim couldn't help but think of the incident last year, when he took his first agricultural loan from the Netherlands, part of which he used to purchase tractors for spring plowing, and the director of the farming machine factory took his payment and absconded with his family.

Chapter 2600.

It wasn't a lot of money, but it definitely wasn't a small fortune either, and because of it, he'd lost a lot of gray hair in just a few days and had to rarely ask for help from his daughter, in fact from the young man.

The money was then quickly recovered.

This is a joyous event.

Along with that, the family of the director of the farm machinery factory, who had supposedly fled Germany, suddenly died across the streets of Rovno one day, a family of four, all in one piece, none of them escaping.

There was nothing in the public press about this, but the story was very widely spread.

It's as if it's about letting some people know something.

Then nobody knows what happened to the bodies of that family of four in the end, and the Rovno Regional Police did not conduct any investigation, and it just went away.

Maxim felt something was wrong about this.

It was just that he found himself powerless to do anything about it, and, subsequently, he never had any more problems of the sort on his side, and many people even had some trepidation when dealing with him.

After personally checking out the harvesters at the Agricultural Technology Center, the group finally returned to the city.

It was eight o'clock in the evening when I got home.

The Noskov family was waiting for him to return, which reminded her that it was his wife's birthday and that she had reminded her when she left in the morning that her daughter would be back today for dinner together, and at the stinky look on her face when she looked at him, Maxim subconsciously wanted to be angry, the kids in the house wouldn't dare to use that look on him before, only to then slump a little.

Can't manage.

Instead, his wife gently reminded him to wash his face and said that his daughter had brought back some seafood today.

Wash your face hastily and come to the restaurant.

The whole family was seated at a long table with a sumptuous spread of food, including the Noskov couple, their eldest son Andrei and his girlfriend Anna, who were already studying for a doctorate at the University of Kiev, their married eldest daughter Tanya and the couple's newest grandson, their second daughter Angelica.

There was also a woman with an obvious military bearing, introduced as Lena, who was the youngest daughter's bodyguard.

Momo was a little angry.

What bodyguard do you need, so many people don't need a bodyguard, that young man is really too spoiled these girls, waste.

In the end, because the bodyguard named Lena is close to the front, it is not good to lecture.

Alas, can't manage.

The wife, Elena, took the initiative to find a topic to ask about his work today, and also lifted her wrist to show the birthday gift from her youngest daughter, a gold amber bracelet.

Rovno Oblast is the most important source of amber in Ukraine, but in the past, these amber ores were not valued at all, and some residents even used chunks of amber as a fire trigger. Then, only in the last year has it suddenly become hot, and Maxim has heard about it, supposedly related to another family similar to his daughter's, Vladimir Kolkoško, whose two sons set up a company that got exclusive rights to the amber mines in Rivne Oblast.

Korkoshko is the deputy head of the state government's investment attraction agency, and someone is said to be interested in grooming him to become the new governor of the region in some years.

How can such a person condone two children acting like this.

The amber mine should belong to the state and should be owned by the state, but those two young men not only took it completely private, but also formed an armed gang to stop the local residents from mining amber without permission.

It's simply lawlessness.

It's just that...

I can't control it.

The more Maxim Noskov thought about it, the more he felt a deep-seated sadness: what future could there be for such a country? There had been thoughts of choosing to go into politics, and Maxim knew that he could definitely do more that way, except that he hadn't actually even been able to manage the fertilizer plant he was in charge of too well, which had been fine when it was small. Now, the fertilizer industry assets laid out by the Westeros system over here were getting bigger and bigger, and while he was still in charge, he was also currently mainly in charge of the production side of things, with sales and finances actively handed over.

Looked at his son Andre.

In fact, the heart of the hope that this son can take over his own class, but father and son last year also produced some barriers, the son finished the Kiev University of chemistry postgraduate, want to go to the United States to study, he resolutely pressed down, because he knew that once he went to the United States, this kid 80% will not come back.

The result can be imagined.

The youngest daughter, who is also in favor of her brother's study in the US, follows him and has trouble with him for this reason.

It's just that going abroad, now that they are all heading abroad, isn't anyone thinking about their own country, which is fundamental for everyone ah.

Ugh.

Can't manage.

Because Maxim's mood is not high, it was originally a birthday dinner, but everyone ate tastelessly, Maxim in this family can be said to have accumulated a lot of authority, except for the now hard-winged youngest daughter, everyone else is a little afraid of this stubborn and rigid character of the middle-aged man.

Ekaterina didn't want to face her father's stinky face, after dinner, said goodbye to her mother, brother and two sisters, ignoring the gazes of her brother and sister who obviously wished she would stay longer, and left her home in the west of the city with Lena.

This side of the city was where the Westeros system had originally built a unified residential area for the families of UFMS privateers, and because of Ekaterina, the Noskov family had originally been given a single house here as well.

Initially it was actually quite out.

Only now, compared to some of the other girls' families, this side was much worse, and the family actually had hopes of moving to some better place, because Maxim's insistence on the idea of a simple life could only remain on this side.

Even last year, Ekaterina's older sister Tanya got married, and if it wasn't for her mother and Ekaterina together secretly picking up the tab, there wouldn't even be a new house.

Maxim's salary, apart from keeping a part of it to satisfy the family, all the rest was donated to help some poor children in the countryside, and the eldest sister tried to help her brother-in-law find a better job in the fertilizer factory, but she didn't succeed and was scolded, and finally the more precocious Ekaterina secretly stepped in and let her brother-in-law enter the Rivne Media Company, which Natalia's uncle was in charge of.

So much for the youngest in the family, Ekaterina, who is instead the real pillar of the Noskov family, and according to her second sister, Angelika, their father lives for others, not for his family.

Back at the south of the city villa, after a beautiful hot shower and changing into a beautiful home dress and coming out, Evgenia and Natalia were watching TV in the sitting room, and when Ekaterina sat down, Eve asked, "Nana, did your mother like the amber bracelet?"

"Of course, mother asked me to thank you," Ekaterina took an apple from the coffee table fruit plate, so saying this, and took a small bite.

Natalia, seeing this, smiled and asked, "You didn't have enough to eat at home, did you?"

"Yes," Ekaterina didn't mention her father hiding anything at all: "I'm afraid to eat when I see how worried my father is about the country."

"Why?"

"In case I eat too much my father lectures me, so many people are still hungry, seven points will do."

"Oh."

Evgenia listened to Natalia's laughter as she held her belly and smiled at the same corner of her mouth, but couldn't help but say something fair, "Nana, your father is actually a very nice man."

Ekaterina took another bite of her apple, "I know, I just don't understand why he can be so nice to others, why can't he be nicer to his own family."

Natalia seemed to think of something, "Was your dad bad to you?"

Noticing Natalia's expression, Ekaterina understood something and shook her head, "Of course not, my father isn't that Benshikov, he's just too strict with us."

Saying so, all three girls gossiped, and Evgenia said, "I heard that guy got a broken leg."

"Hmmm, that's nothing, I think if he makes any more trouble, he might just get dug up and sold."

"That Galina's mom and sister got lucky, they got beaten up and then moved into the spa manor, and Galina's mom became the manor's housekeeper." Evgenia said this, and seeing both girls around her with a little sly look in their eyes, she asked, "What, did I say something wrong?"

Natalia and Ekaterina shook their heads together.

There was just something distinctly odd in their expressions.

Evgenia blinked, she wasn't a fool, she could receive too much multifarious information in the past two years because she lived here, and soon associated it with some other aspects as well, blushing suddenly, she looked at the other two women, "You two have dirty thoughts."

Ekaterina shot back, "If you're not thinking out of the box, methinks you know we have dirty thoughts."

Natalia, however, was a bit gossipy, "Anyway, Simon just loves Yulia and Ivana and their sisters, and I think, if not, it's unlikely that Simon would have let Yulia and the three of them go in the first place. And Eve and her sisters, tsk, Lyudmila is even more annoying because of this, I'd love to fight her."

Evgenia, feeling her face getting a little hotter by the minute, interrupted, "Alright, let's not talk about that, let's talk about tomorrow, my brother is going to the amber mines in the north, I want to go there too, are you guys going?"

"Tomorrow's Monday, aren't you going to do your homework?"

"We're not those little fledglings from Spa Manor, we've learned a lot already. Besides, Simon said that we can go out whenever we want."

Hearing Eve say that, the other two girls looked at each other and said, "Well, I'm sure we still need to talk to Eve about that first."

"Of course, Eve won't object to it either."

Ekaterina finished nibbling on an apple, threw the kernels into the trash, hugged a pillow beside her and leaned comfortably on the sofa, and said, "Eve doesn't seem to be bothering us much these days."

"Because the spa manor side is full of little chicks, we're big girls now, we always have to look after the kids a little more," said Evgenia with a smile, "And we've been traveling with an extra bodyguard lately, it was arranged by Eve, she still cares about me. "

"It's just that Lyudmila is so annoying."

"Lyudmila's in Italy, or maybe we'll go to Italy sometime too and keep watching her starve."

"Oh, it's not fashion season, and we won't see anything if we go."

Natalia said, "Actually, I'd rather go to America."

The other two girls were quiet as this was said, then Ekaterina also said, "I miss Simon too, what do you think he's doing right now?"

"Must be surrounded by a whole bunch of pretty girls, too bad it's not us."

"Hmm."

"Simon is so horny."

"Heh. If it wasn't, would we be here now?"

"Yea."

So chattering late into the night, the three girls ran off together again to the master bedroom and slept in the big bed to continue their nightly conversation.

Up very late the next day.

Living like a canary and very self-conscious, they ate a simple breakfast, still spent some time exercising, and left the city just before noon, leaving the city to go first to the spa estate north of Rifney.

Demonstration.

As well as talking to Eve about going to see the Amber Mine.

The three girls suddenly had this kind of mind, but Eve did not dare to let them run around, even if the amber mine over there is Evgenia two each responsible, so personally followed.

Compared to the more prosperous downtown Livni, the further north you went, the more dilapidated it became.

Even though the Westeros system had invested a lot in the Ronov region, and there were people like Maxim Noskov working for change, the surrounding farmland that should have been full of crops was still deserted in many areas at this time, and the large expanses of weeds looked extremely lush.

Evgenia's two brothers had left for the northern amber mines in the morning, the entire north-south depth of the Rovno region was actually only a hundred kilometers, Rifni was located right in the middle, and the spa estate was in the north again, Eve and the three girls left the spa estate and arrived near the northern border in just over an hour.

Finding Evgenia's two brothers, Nicholas and Kirill, then also saw the so-called Amber Mine.

It was not at all as wonderful as it looked. The so-called amber mine, located deep in a forest, was full of shallow pits with muddy water everywhere, and at first glance it looked like the surface of the moon. The surface of the newly unearthed amber ore was also completely stone. Even if they didn't understand this, a few girls could understand at a glance that such an amber mine, or such a mode of mining, was really too amateurish, and even a bit messy.
