[031] Family reunion
PS: PS: Apologize to the villagers. There were some emergencies yesterday, but they could not be updated. The debt was increased to 5 chapters. Xiao San will work hard! Thank you for your subscription and support!
The approaching of the Spring Festival has made the festive atmosphere in Ginkgo Village become stronger and stronger, and the smiles on the villagers' faces are also particularly bright.
Compared with the colder Spring Festival in previous years, the huge changes in Ginkgo Village since the second half of this year have made villagers more confident about the future, and the atmosphere of the New Year is also extremely warm. The villagers with bulging pockets have made a lot of money and bought back many high-end New Year goods and household appliances that were unattainable in previous years.
Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the future development prospects of Ginkgo Village are limitless, so the young and strong in the village no longer intend to continue working, but are willing to stay in the village to develop.
In the past autumn, all the villagers in Ginkgo Village completed the comprehensive renovation and expansion of their own houses, and achieved the construction of the Jinghu Scenic Area simultaneously. From then on, the villagers guarded their family inns, farm restaurants, handicrafts, mountain goods, etc., and could live a better life than the people in the city.
In order to provide the villagers with sufficient reconstruction and construction funds, Jinghu Company specially provided loan guarantees to Yaozhou Rural Credit Cooperative and Agricultural Bank of China to ensure the smooth progress of the overall renovation of Ginkgo Village. Jinghu Company also allocated part of the funds to invest in public transportation, sanitation and leisure facilities of Ginkgo Village, making the hardware conditions of Ginkgo Village no less than other 5A-level scenic spots.
Today's Ginkgo Village is not much different from the original Ginkgo Village in appearance. It is still towering ancient apricots, small bridges, flowing water and black tiles and bluestone. The footprints of modern civilization do not seem to leave too many marks here.
However, the power transmission hidden underground and network pipelines allow Ginkgo Village to step from the kerosene era to the information age overnight, keeping it in sync with the world. The addition of modern kitchen and bathroom facilities allows every household in Ginkgo Village to reflect the power of modern civilization everywhere while maintaining a simple appearance.
This transformation allows tourists from afar to experience the natural harmony of Ginkgo Village and the way of survival between man and nature, and can also allow urban people who cannot live without toilets, Internet, TVs and water heaters to enjoy better.
After comprehensive renovation, the entire Ginkgo Village will have 1,000 farm inn system consisting of standard rooms, single rooms and VIP rooms, etc. The maximum reception capacity will reach 1,500 people per day, and it is expected to receive 500,000 tourists annually!
In the next five years, the number of guest rooms in Ginkgo Village will not increase, avoiding too many tourists bringing more environmental pressure to Ginkgo Village and Jinghu. After Ginkgo Village is full, tourists can choose to stay in the new district on the east bank of the Lancang River, where there will be a modern hotel led by Jinghu Hotel.
Jinghu Company conducted a market survey and forecast internally, believing that with the natural scenery of Jinghu Scenic Area and large-scale advertising, Jinghu Scenic Area will welcome about 800,000 tourists every year, with an average of more than 2,000 people per day.
According to this kind of passenger flow, even if the Ginkgo Village receives most tourists, Jinghu Hotel can receive about 300,000 tourists a year, which will be an amazing number!
To this end, Jinghu Company not only did not organize villagers to renovate and expand their own houses, but also provided villagers with loan guarantees, room design, service staff training and other help.
The natural conflict between developers and villagers did not occur in Ginkgo Village.
…………
After graduating from Chuncheng Normal University, Xiao Ji was assigned to Yaozhou No. 1 Middle School as a physics teacher. 15 years passed in a blink of an eye. He and his wife Miao Yuhui have also been married for 13 years. His 11-year-old son Xiao Dayi will go to junior high school next year.
In the past six months, Xiao Ji has been hearing about the huge changes in the village from newspapers, the Internet and his family phone calls, and also seen the beautiful scenery he had seen thousands of times in TV advertisements. He heard that his cousin, after returning from Haizhou, brought hundreds of millions of funds for Ginkgo Village, making the small mountain village look like a big change!
Unfortunately, Xiao Ji happened to be the head teacher of the graduating class and the patriarch of the physics group of the senior high school. He was very busy. Except for the bedtime between 12:00 and 6:00 in the morning, he had no private space at all.
Finally, after the tutoring class for the third grade of high school, he could only take his wife and children to take his nephew Xiao Dapeng in his class, and drive back to Ginkgo Village for the New Year.
"Dapeng. When was this road built?" Xiao Ji was a little surprised on the spacious road of S225 after leaving the city.
In the past, the provincial highway from Yaozhou city to Ginkgo Village was only more than 230 kilometers long, but the poor road conditions often required Xiao Ji to drive for four or five hours to get home. If you encounter accidents such as car accidents, mudslides and landslides, it took longer.
However, according to the road conditions after leaving the city, you can get home in about three hours.
"I haven't been home for several months!" Xiao Dapeng shook his head and said, "The family transfers the living expenses from the credit union card. Brother Dazhi and Uncle Twelve occasionally come to the city to see me!"
Xiao Dapeng has good grades. He is the seed of hope that the generation of Xiao’s family has the most hope to be admitted to the top five universities in the country. He himself is also very hardworking and basically spent it in the school.
Today is Xiao Dapeng’s first time going home in more than three months after National Day.
The first-class provincial highway renovation plan from Yaozhou to Ginkgo Village has been completed before heavy snow fell. The road conditions are quite good. Xiao Ji drove his small polo very fast and rushed to Ginkgo Village in three hours.
Turning down from the provincial road, the passage on the east bank of the Lancang River, the parking lot, the tourist reception center, and the Jinghu Hotel under construction all surprised everyone!
They did not expect that in this remote mountain village in their hometown, this huge project that was rare in the city would also appear.
"Uncle Qi, the car cannot drive the cable bridge, where should I park it?" After seeing the sign that motor vehicles are prohibited from passing, Xiao Ji quickly braked and stretched out his head to ask a tribe member on the side of the road.
Xiao Jinkun is the clan uncle of another family in the Xiao family. He is 42 years old and ranked seventh in Xiao Jinxu's generation. He has now entered the parking lot of the reception center as a security guard, specializing in commanding and guiding foreign vehicles.
"San'er is back!" Xiao Jinkun smiled and said, "The car is in the parking lot. You can change into an electric car and go back to the village!"
With the enthusiastic help of Xiao Jinkun, Xiao Ji's family still had a lot of mentality. The gift was loaded onto an electric car and returned to the village lightly.
Since the last birthday party of the old man, Xiao Ji and his family have not returned for half a year. They never thought that the Ginkgo Avenue from the Steel Cable Bridge to the village would be so grandly rested. Although the leaves of the Ginkgo Tree have fallen out, the straight branches and the green lawn on the ground all show their extraordinaryness.
"Lao Wu, aren't you working in Lingnan? Why did you drive an electric car when you return to the village?" Xiao Ji was full of questions, so he had to ask Xiao Xu who was driving.
Xiao Xu is from the lineage of Xiao Siye and ranks fifth in Xiao Ji's generation. He used to be a friend who peed and played with big mud with Xiao Ji. After graduating from junior high school, Xiao Xu did not continue to study and went out to work at a very young age. He heard that he got a driver's license and helped the boss drive a large truck, and his income was pretty good.
"I've been back for more than two months!" Xiao Xu smiled while turning the steering wheel skillfully: "Now, the money I earned in the village is more than outside, and I don't have to leave my hometown. Lao Liu, Brother Tiezhu, Dashan and others are all back. We'll gather next day!"
Looking at the village that had undergone tremendous changes along the way, and hearing various grand blueprints from the mouths of childhood playmates, Xiao Ji felt a little stranger in his surprise.
Is this still my own impression of being poor and backward, inconvenient transportation, and inaccessible information?
Xiao Ji's wife Miao Yuhui has lived in Yaozhou since childhood. She has a superior family background and has never liked to return to Ginkgo Village, a remote village, but what she saw today seems to have completely subverted some of her views.
It seems that the future changes in my hometown are limitless!
The other two passengers in the car, Xiao Dapeng, was still in the hard study stage of "turning his ears to the outside world", and could not realize what these changes in Ginkgo Village meant? As for Xiao Dayi, he was worried that he would not be able to watch TV or surf the Internet after returning to his hometown, so he was depressed. Where could he care about the others?
"Squeak!" The electric car stopped steadily on the dam in front of the old house. Xiao Xu helped unload his luggage, made an appointment with Xiao Ji for a drink and drove away.
…………
"So it's the third brother who is back!" Xiao Feng poked his head out of the yard and said with a smile: "We were still guessing just now when will you arrive!"
Just now, when Xiao Feng saw the big flower running out, he felt a little strange. You should know that the big flower is usually very quiet and well-behaved. When the big flower was small, Xiao Dapeng took it for a while during the holidays, so it could always feel Xiao Dapeng's arrival.
Look, it was lying on Xiao Dapeng's chest, and his tongue was licking Xiao Dapeng's face.
"The road conditions are very good, and I don't spend much time on the road!" Xiao Ji punched Xiao Feng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I won't come for a few months. The village has changed too much, and I can't recognize it!"
The changes in the village and the Xiao family during this period came from Xiao Feng. Xiao Ji did not expect that the runny little kid had done this big career!
After a few people exchanged greetings, Xiao Ji took his wife and children to the main hall to meet the old lady and the old man. Although it is not popular to kowtow to the elders after returning home, the first thing the Xiao family did when they came back from outside was to report to the two old men.
When Xiao Ji returned to Ginkgo Village, he also kicked off the prelude to the Xiao family working outside and studying children returning home, and the old house became more and more lively.
On the 26th day of the 12th lunar month, Xiao Yuegui, a fifth sister working in Chuncheng, and Xiao Meigui, a sixth sister working in Nanzhao, returned one after another. Xiao Feng's workaholic parents finally gave up their work and drove back home on that day.
As more and more people were at home, I could no longer sit still when I opened three tables at night. The smiles on the old man and the old man became more and more obvious, and their eyes were narrowed into a line!
Perhaps, for the elderly, this kind of scene is what they most look forward to!
Chapter completed!
