Brother Rui is easy to talk, and Shi Mingwu is relieved.
Before he came, he was worried that mainlanders would be difficult to get along with. After all, he grew up in Hong Kong and had never been to the mainland. In his imagination, the mainland should be very poor and backward, but he did not expect this small village to be quite rich.
Shi Mingwu was like Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden, and she thought it was very strange to see everything.
No, he stood in front of Longling, his mouth like an open egg, and said with admiration, “The mountains here are so high, and all of them are forests. Our mountains in Hong Kong have been enclosed as parks.”
When he came to the beach by the sea, he also praised, “Wow, the sea is so blue, not inferior to Repulse Bay. The beach here is bigger than Repulse Bay, and the sand is so fine.”
When he saw the coconut groves around the village, as well as the beautiful and quiet villages, he couldn’t help but praise him, like a countryman with no knowledge, he was very curious everywhere.
“Wow, who is that beauty? She looks so pretty.”
When he saw Mengmeng suddenly, he couldn’t wait to stare both eyes out, making Mengmeng laugh.
Brother Rui was a little unhappy, he turned off Shi Mingwu’s shoulder and said, “Where are you looking, look this way, don’t look at my sister.”
“Oh, so it’s your little sister.” Shi Mingwu patted Brother Rui on the shoulder, motioning him to calm down. He walked up to Mengmeng and said, “Hello, little sister, what’s your name?”
“Haha, my name is Mengmeng, are you a monk?” Mengmeng covered her mouth and smiled and kept looking at his bald head.
“I am, my name is… Hey, A Rui, why are you dragging me?”
Before Shi Mingwu finished speaking, he was pulled by Brother Rui’s collar and dragged away to the side, determined not to let him have the opportunity to contact Mengmeng.
When Shi Mingwu became a legal person’s leather bag company, the money used was all the money that Brother Rui received from abroad. In the past, it was directly sent to China. Now, Brother Rui asked them to send the money to the account in Hong Kong. Then remit it to the company on the mainland.
After such a turnaround, the money has become Hong Kong people’s investment in the mainland, which is beneficial in all aspects.
Brother Rui explained to Shi Mingwu and said, “Since you are here, I will trouble you to get involved and buy land for me. I have already marked it for you. This is the center of our provincial capital, the most central plot. I’ll ask Uncle Feng to help you connect, and you can talk to the city.”
Brother Rui is always worried about Shi Mingwu. Seeing how he behaves like a monk, in order to prevent him from seeing Mengmeng, he is going to give Shi Mingwu some tasks.
Shi Mingwu took a look at the plan, and asked in confusion, “Why did you buy so much land?”
Brother Rui sat on the boss’s chair, clasped his fingers and said, “Whether it’s building a factory or developing a real estate, in short, my plan is to encircle the land first.”
He ordered the table, motioned Shi Mingwu to look at the map and said, “Have you seen that suburban land? Then in our county, I plan to develop it into an amusement park and make this area a tourist circle.”
Shi Mingwu couldn’t understand more and more, he said in surprise, “Your plan is quite big, do you have that much money?”
Brother Rui said confidently, “Don’t worry, I’m so poor that I only have money left. Your mission is to help me spend money, and it’s just the beginning.”
Facts have proved that Rui Ge’er’s decision is right, and things will be much easier with the interpretation of enlightenment. Almost effortlessly, they took land in the suburbs and the city. All the formalities were given the green light for them to go through.
Brother Rui did not expect the land to be obtained so quickly. He quickly allocated funds and started construction of several places at the same time.
The mineral water factory of the old Zhang family is no exaggeration to say that it is already the largest enterprise in the province in terms of output value. The foreign exchange it receives every year is getting old, and now it finally has a place to go.
Under the power of these funds, several construction sites have emerged at the same time in the provincial capital and outside the suburbs, and the work is in full swing.
Brother Rui worked so hard, and Feng Yimin, the town’s leader, also rolled up his sleeves and worked hard.
He really wanted to make Longling Town a strong tourist town, so he really spent a lot of effort to rebuild the entire Longling Town.
Mengmeng went to town to play these days, and soon discovered the difference.
“Are people in this town building houses, or?”
She was surprised to find that a layer of scaffolding was erected outside every house, and some workers were painting the walls there, and some were even painting.
Eaves and roofs have been added to the houses that have been built, and the gatehouses with flying eaves are also built at the entrance, which looks a little antique.
She asked her classmates in the town curiously, “What are you doing with your neighbors? Why do you need to change a good house?”
“Don’t you know?” The classmate was even more surprised than her, she found that Mengmeng really didn’t know, and explained to her, “That’s what your father said, the houses in our town should be restored to ancient buildings. .”
“Look at the old house in front of you. It’s been around for hundreds of years. Now it’s not allowed to be demolished. Your dad gave money to let the family repair it, saying that it can be shown to tourists in the future.”
The old house is particularly distinctive. The door is arched, with three layers of cornices and tiles. Two bougainvillea trees grow up along the porch, press on the cornices, and bloom full of red flowers.
The wall beside the door is painted with white ash, with “Purple Qi coming from the east” written on one side and “Fu Daojiamen” written on the other side. There are also exquisite brick paintings on the border as decoration, and it looks like a big family at first glance.
The previous owner of this family, surnamed Chen, was the big landlord in the town, and everyone knew it. Among the old houses in Longling Town, only his house has two floors, and the eaves are so high that you can see it from the outside.
Mengmeng looked around and said admiringly, “It’s not bad, you have a very unified style. Our town has a long history, and there must be tourists willing to come and see it.”
In the past, in Longling Town, although there were many old buildings, they were all very dilapidated, and some of them were demolished. The newly built buildings, the people in the town had no taste. Made into a classic style, it looks much better than before.
Her classmate also said, “My parents are going to turn the house into a family hotel, my neighbor’s aunt is going to sell tourist souvenirs, and at my relative’s house, he is going to open a small restaurant. There are subsidies in these towns.”
These days, when her parents talked about these things at home, they laughed so much, not to mention how happy they were, which made this classmate full of hope.
The group of good friends of them came out of the town and rode their bicycles to wander around. Before they knew it, they came to the nearby Dushu Village.
There is a big banyan tree in this village, occupying a large area, covering half of the village and the pond in front of the village, surrounded by greenery, it looks like a giant potted plant from a distance. Although it is called Dushu Village, no one remembers its previous name.
The scenery of Dushu Village is also very beautiful. The big banyan tree reflects the pond and dyes the clear water in the pond into green. Streams that flowed from afar, poured into this pond, and then flowed into the fields outside the village, with idyllic scenery everywhere.
Mengmeng and the others entered the village on their bikes, but found that many people were repairing their old houses, so they had to withdraw from it.
“Oh, there’s nowhere to play anymore.” Mengmeng muttered, a little disappointed. She brought a drawing board today and planned to sketch here.
Several classmates thought about it, and some people said, “Mengmeng, I know a place where there are many peacocks and ostriches. Would you like to see them?”
“Really? Where?” Mengmeng was really curious, she had never heard of it, someone in the town raised peacocks.
The classmate boasted, “It’s Xinhua Village. They just raised it recently. Everyone can go in for 50 cents. They also sell peacock feathers and ostrich eggs. My brother bought one last time. It’s very valuable. .”
Mengmeng was very interested, and quickly got on the car and said, “Let’s go to see the peacock and ostrich, you lead the way.”
A group of classmates followed her, jokingly riding on the main road, and it didn’t take long before they came to Xinhua Village. There are no ancient buildings in this village, and no one is repairing the houses, so they can finally enter with confidence.
There was an old man outside the village who was collecting tickets. Everyone paid 50 cents, and they got a small handwritten piece of paper with the word “ticket” written on it. It was really crude.
The old man also pointed to them and said, “Turn fifty meters ahead, and that’s it when you see the zoo.”
“Haha, they also have a zoo here. I thought it was only our village that had a zoo.”
The classmates were all out of curiosity. They rode the car very fast and drove into the zoo hula-la. It was surrounded by barbed wire and planted a few pieces of grass. Almost immediately, they saw the peacock.
“Wow, that peacock is so beautiful, look Mengmeng, there’s another one over there.”
In the garden, a few peacocks were walking around, and when they saw strangers coming, they were not afraid, they were still stomping and strolling on the grass.
Those peacocks have blue-green feathers growing on them, which are extremely dazzling in the sun, like a big bird wearing a coat, which is particularly eye-catching.
Suddenly, a big peacock opened the screen in the eyes of everyone. The gorgeous tail feathers formed a semicircle, dotted with countless blue-green eyes, which looked very beautiful.
Mengmeng was admiring, and the peacock put away its tail and ran to the side screaming.
“Oh, how did it go?”
The classmates ran over to have a look, and found that it was a female peacock running out, and the male peacocks in the garden surrounded it, and all of them shouted and opened their screens.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful!” The classmates were so addicted, this time the peacock was on the screen for a long time, so that they had time to compare, which peacock is more beautiful and which is more shy.
They walked along the garden, and there was a stall selling peacock feathers and eggs laid by peacocks. Mengmeng picked a few feathers and bought a few more peacock eggs. The stall owner said, “Do you want to eat meat? We still have peacock meat for sale here.”
When the classmates heard this, their faces were wrinkled, and they said to the stall owner dissatisfiedly, “Why are you so cruel, the peacock is so beautiful, why do you want to eat it?”
The stall owner said disapprovingly, “Little dolls don’t know anything, we raise peacocks just to sell meat. I’m not kidding, this peacock meat business is much more cost-effective than raising chickens, and many tourists come in to look for it. “
“This is all the way the town secretary found for us. Now, relying on this zoo, every household in the village has raised peacocks and ostriches, which are also selling very well.”
The stall owner said it very proudly, as if the business of peacocks and ostriches brought him infinite hope. The dolls couldn’t bear it, so they all walked forward in silence.
The ostrich in the back is much uglier than the peacock, and they are all very big, and the sound is even worse than that of the peacock. Mengmeng only looked at it for a while and lost interest. She bought two ostrich eggs and planned to go home.
Everyone rode their bicycles and returned to Longling. At the intersection of the mountain, they also saw a piece of farmland. Now they have been cleaned up and divided into pieces of vegetable plots, all of which are planted with vegetables.
In the farmland, some people who look like tourists are walking around. They are all very happy to cultivate their own vegetable fields. This is the land they contracted in Niujia Village. On weekends, they lead themselves from the city. My baby, came to Niujia Village to grow vegetables.
There are still many tourists like this, and Mengmeng has already taken it all off. I think she gave Niu Laohan this idea at first, but she didn’t expect the effect to be so good.
Nowadays, people in Niujia Village are making a lot of money by renting out vegetable fields. They manage vegetable fields for tourists, and they also open restaurants and B&Bs at their own homes. .
Not to mention Taoyuan Village, it is now an old-fashioned scenic spot. From the entrance of Longling, three arches are erected, one reads “Deep in Taoyuan”, one reads “Longling Fishing Village”, and the other reads “Wonderland on Earth”, which is very majestic and spectacular.
The scenery along the way is also magnificent. The roadside is full of peach trees and willows. Now the peach blossoms have withered, and the willows are green. The willow leaves swaying in the wind are like welcoming hands, attracting tourists Go to the depths of the Taoyuan.
Mengmeng rode the car comfortably, and a fresh wind was blowing from the vast mountains in the distance. Those big trees with intertwined roots formed a dense forest, which made her eyes feel comfortable as if they had been washed.
On the way, you can also see some rock carvings on the cliffs, and there are winding stairs built next to it. Some tourists climb the mountain here, and there are guides on the side to explain.
Below the mountain, there are fruit stalls selling snacks, and some residents of the town come here to sell local specialties. Many tourists visit the stalls, which is very lively.
After riding for a while, there is a fork in the road, which is the road to Taoyuan Hot Spring.
Mengmeng continued to ride ahead, and at another fork in the road, a tourist riding a motorcycle called to her, “Hey, beauty, is Xianhu Scenic Area going here?”
Mengmeng also shouted at him, “Yeah, just keep walking forward.”
She rode to the village without stopping, and finally returned to Taoyuan Village. Looking down from the hillside, Taoyuan Village was hidden in the shade of green willows, among the flowers, facing the sea, and the golden sunlight was scattered on the black ancient houses. It was as if it had been anointed with oil, and it was as beautiful as a painting.
“Ah, I’m back.”
She wants to go for a walk in the village, and she also wants to go to the beach to bask in the sun. When she is thirsty, she picks a coconut and eats it. When she is in the mood, she can run into the sea to catch fish. There is no happier life than going home.
