Novel Bin Chapter 642
A river snaked by, and most of the villages along the river were farmers who enjoyed their own lives and harvested tea.
As the hills turned into mountains, the roads became more and more tortuous.
It took them nearly four hours to reach the place they thought they would be able to reach in three hours.
This was a village surrounded by mountains on three sides. The village looked very big, with a chessboard structure and a nice house.
At the entrance of the village, a small river gurgled as it flowed towards the distant terraced fields. It was like a paradise on earth.
However, compared to the other villages on the way, this one was clearly more backward, and did not seem to engage in tourism. Other than the shops with daily necessities and agricultural products in the middle of the street, there were only a few village stores.
Most of the roads in the village were only enough for one car to drive through, so Su Qingxue\'s Mercedes-Benz was especially eye-catching in this place. After all, the farmers here mainly used motorcycles as transportation, and some cars were also some minivans and small trucks.
"Zhou Family Village?" Looking at the stone tablet at the village entrance, Su Qingxue said with surprise, "Grandfather, are all the villagers surnamed Zhou?""That\'s right, they were all handed down from an ancestor with the surname Zhou." "This place is quite remote. Every day, there will only be a mid-class bus going to the county city at noon and evening. Don\'t mind it." Zhou Xinjiang laughed.
"How could that be? Grandfather, I feel that the scenery here is very beautiful, there are very few places that aren\'t polluted, and unexpectedly no one came here to travel. If we really develop it, with the conditions here, I feel that it will definitely become a popular tourist spot." Su Qingxue was eager to try.
"Aiya, Little Snow, don\'t say those words in the village, you can\'t say them." Zhou Xin Jiang hurriedly advised.
Hearing this, even Ye Fan, who was driving, was puzzled. He turned his head and asked, "Grandfather, what did my wife say wrong?"
Su Qingxue was also curious, "Is tourism not good?" The villagers don\'t want to get rich? "Zhou Xinjiang sighed and pointed to the front, "Let\'s go to my house first, this matter is hard to explain in a short time, it\'s already late, I\'ll cook some food for you, sit down and talk slowly."
The car arrived at the door of a two-story old house. The car was able to drive through the gate, and inside was a grain sunning ground.
At this moment, the moon was shining and the night wind was blowing gently.
As soon as he got out of the car, a dim yellow light bulb lit up at the door. In the next house, a rural woman in her sixties or seventies held a baby and walked over curiously, "Brother Xinjiang, there\'s a guest at home?"
Zhou Xinjiang quickly smiled and introduced her, "Ah Mei, this is Wen Li\'s daughter, Xiao Xue, and my grandson\'s son-in-law, Ye Fan! They sent me back! "
Hearing this, the peasant woman was also happy: "Oh, is that what you said, Xiaoxue who is now the CEO of a big company?"Brother Xinjiang, you\'re finally willing to see your granddaughter? Congratulations, you will be blessed in the future!
I say, for such a nice car, it looks like it\'s worth over a hundred thousand, right? "Too rich!"
Ye Fan and Su Qingxue looked at each other. They had finally seen how backward the village was and didn\'t even recognize the Mercedes-Benz. It felt like it only cost a few hundred thousand for a three million car.
However, although this peasant woman was envious, she didn\'t have much of a greedy feeling. She only wished Zhou Xinjiang a good luck. After asking, she smiled and walked away.
Zhou Xinjiang said embarrassedly, "Don\'t mind it. In our village, many of the older women have never studied, so they don\'t have much culture or knowledge. They spend their lives in the village, at most a few times in the city.
Back when your mother was young, your grandmother had said that there was no need to go to school, and being a girl was a virtue. What I wanted was to have a daughter who could finish high school. "Your mother has developed a culture, so she just wants to go out and take a look. Once she\'s gone, she doesn\'t come back …"
"Grandfather, it\'s okay, I feel that grandma is quite simple and honest. This is also good, at least she is carefree." Su Qingxue said.
"Do the kids here study now?" Ye Fan asked.Zhou Xinjiang nodded, "I\'ve basically read them by now, so many of the village\'s young people have also gone out to work."
The three of them spoke as they entered the house.
Zhou Xinjiang took off his jacket and began to busy himself, inside and out. He first went to the stove to stuff a pot of rice, then he fed the animals.When Ye Fan saw the stove, he took the initiative to help Zhou Xinjiang light a fire.
Zhou Xin Jiang thought that Ye Fan wouldn\'t know and wanted to teach him a thing or two, but Ye Fan skillfully lit the fire and set it ablaze.
Su Qingxue also wanted to help, but she could only do the work of washing vegetables and cutting vegetables. She didn\'t know how to organize most of the things in the old kitchen.
With the help of two people, Zhou Xinjiang spent an hour cooking four dishes and a soup.Since there wasn\'t much meat and he didn\'t have time to kill the chickens and the ducks, he could only fry some eggs and make a bowl of vegetable soup. The rest were all vegetarian dishes.
"Ye Fan, do you want to drink?" "I have some rice wine to brew." Zhou Xinjiang asked enthusiastically.
Ye Fan nodded, also wanting to give it a try, "Thank you, Grandfather.""No need for thanks. The first time you guys came, I was so unpresentable. You guys stay here tonight, I\'ll kill two chickens and ducks tomorrow. I\'ll go to the market and buy some meat for a good meal."
"There\'s no need, Grandfather. We don\'t need to care about this, we still need to go back to work tomorrow," Su Qingxue said.
"Oh... That\'s right, you\'re in charge of such a big company, how can you waste so much time here? "Zhou Xinjiang slapped his forehead," I\'m old and muddle-headed, then let\'s quickly eat.Although Su Qingxue wanted to stay for a few days to accompany the old man, she had some matters that she needed to deal with. She could only say, "Grandfather, we\'ll leave after breakfast tomorrow."
Hearing that the two of them were willing to stay for the night, Zhou Xinjiang nodded happily, "Alright, I\'ll make you an egg pancake in the morning."
After pouring wine and eating, Ye Fan and Su Qingxue naturally asked about the development of tourism in the village.As a merchant, Su Qingxue really wanted to do something for her mother\'s hometown. If she could turn this place into a prosperous village, then it should be a good thing.
"Grandfather, why should we not mention the development of tourism?" Su Qingxue asked.
Zhou Xinjiang sighed, got up, closed the door and the window, then sat down and said in a low voice: "You are all on the same side, and Ye Fan is also our Zhou family\'s grandson-in-law, I will tell you the truth."
It\'s not that people in our village don\'t want to get rich, but our clan elders, clan leader, and all other developers are not allowed to come in.
Furthermore, the government doesn\'t dare to interfere in our village\'s matters. Everything concerning the village\'s decision must be decided with the consent of the clan elder. "
"Clan elder?" "Patriarch?" Su Qingxue was stunned, "What era is it? How can it be called this way?" Chapter error, point this report (registered free)After reporting, the maintenance staff will correct the section content within two minutes. Please be patient and refresh the page.
