Mr. Kenton was Gerald's classmate back in high school in another place.
Gerald wasn't originally from this village, he came to visit relatives when he was young. Usually, people like him would stay with their relatives in the village before finding opportunities to do business or work.
Once they found their opportunity, they would leave.
However, Gerald was one of the few who decided to stay in the village.
The village itself didn't have a large population, and at the time it had only been a few years since the policy of fixing farm output quotas for each household. His relatives managed to arrange his household registration here in the village.
Kenton Nelson was Gerald's classmate in junior high school. They lost contact after they graduated. However, once Kenton started working in foreign trade and happened to pass through Xinjiang, he remembered he had a classmate here and looked him up. They reconnected through those visits.
