I am many years in the courtyard

Chapter 467, Little One Gets Engaged
February 24, [-], is the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. This day is the Little New Year in the South.

Beijing, Beihe Hutong, courtyard.

The home that had been quiet for more than two months became lively again.

Duan Nian's family, Xu Qianqian's family, Xiaomei's family, Xu Xiaoqian's brothers and sisters all came back from the south.

There is a courtyard next to Beihe Hutong and a large courtyard in Nanluogu Lane. Both of these two large courtyards are very close to Duan Nian's home.

These two sets of courtyards were taken over by Xu Qianqian and Xu Wumei respectively.

However, although they also have a bigger house in the capital, at this moment, as usual, they all come to join in the fun at Niannian's house.

Neighbors nearby stood nearby and watched.

Even the cold weather can't stop the curiosity of the neighbors.

This year, Lao Xu's family became lively a few days earlier than before.

After all, we are only 24 now, and there are still five days until New Year's Eve.

Over the years, the neighbors have changed.

Some of the grandparents have disappeared, and the children have also been replaced.

The only thing that hasn't changed is that the nearby yards are still the same as they were more than ten years ago.

"The little one has become a professor? And his student is a doctor? What is a doctor?"

All the neighbors were talking about it and were also amazed.

Tiedan, a young man with acne, was holding a child and standing solemnly in the yard.

Standing in front of him were the three brothers Xiao Bu Dian and Brother Jing.

As former friends, now our situation is completely different.

Last year, Tiedan had already made a private lifelong commitment to a girl and had a de facto marriage.

Although no wine was served and no certificate was issued, the child was already born.

On the other hand, the little ones don't even have girlfriends yet, let alone anything else.

During dinner in the evening, Qin Huairu suddenly mentioned this matter and urged marriage for the first time.

Except for the two little guys Xu Yi and Xu Mengyao, Xiao Doubao and their six siblings were all urged to get married.

After all, Xiaodoubao and the others are already 19 years old and will soon be 20.

According to the marriage age of girls, the two sisters Xiaodoubao and Xiaotuanzi have already exceeded it, while white tofu just meets the standard.

The six children were somewhat blushing and did not dare to discuss the matter. After eating in a hurry, they ran away.

The appearance of Tiedan really triggered Qin Huairu's desire to get married.

Even if Xiaodoubao and the others use Xu Xiaoqian and the two sisters as shields, it is useless.

You should get married when you are old enough, instead of waiting to be a big girl.

He smiled and watched this scene for many years without saying a word.

As a result, he was greeted outside by Xiaodoubao and the others.

"Dad, how about you and mom have some more brothers and sisters?"

hiss!
Hearing the children's words, Jiannian couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and then gave each of them a violent shudder:
"You are so brave that you even dare to make jokes about your parents, right?"

Although we usually get along with them as friends and not too serious, this joke still makes me a little uncomfortable for many years.

"Your mother is urging you to get married, and it's not me. Don't get involved with me."

When the children heard this, they immediately felt aggrieved and said:

"But mom's attention has always been on us, and dad, you said it yourself, you won't force us to get married so early. At the age of 20, life has just begun."

"Then I don't care. That's your mother's business. If you encounter a problem, don't always expect me to solve it for you."

Many Years shook his head and said earnestly:
"Dad also hopes that you can enjoy your life and meet the other half that suits you."

After beating up the little brats, he left irresponsibly for many years.

Xiaodoubao and the others were helpless. They felt that this Spring Festival was not so easy this year.

However, on the 28th day of the New Year, guests came to the house.

Professor Duan, who was originally here to visit him for many years, had a lively chat with Qin Huairu.

As we chatted, the topic of children came up, and as one of Qin Huairu's favorite children, the little one was inevitably used as an example.

That is to say, install it by the way.

As a result, Professor Duan suddenly said:
"Is the little one already a professor? Or is he a professor of mathematics at Princeton University?"

Her father, Duan Xuefu, was also a mathematics professor, but at Peking University.

In the past year or two, the Duan family has returned to Yanyuan and returned to university.

I had not moved around for a long time, so I started moving around again.

Duan Wenjun is still very grateful for her help over the years. Otherwise, she would have lost her 130-two yuan wallet, which was used to treat her father's illness.

"Yeah, his father and I didn't expect that the little one would become a professor before he was an adult. No one would believe it even if he told us. Even we parents wouldn't believe it."

Qin Huairu laughed loudly. She seemed to be very humble, but in fact she was not humble at all.

"I remember the little one was born in 1960, right? He should be an adult this year, right?"

"Yes, he and his third sister got married in May, and they just turned eighteen in May this year."

"Hey, I'm an adult now. Have you got a girlfriend yet?"

Duan Wenjun didn't make any jokes about "Have you brought back a foreign wife?"

But just by mentioning the word girlfriend, Qin Huairu couldn't help but complain.

It's full of bitterness.

He also mentioned that the three eldest daughters were worried because they were all adults and had not yet been in love.

Got it!
A proper Versailles, isn't it?

So Duan Wenjun took over and mentioned that she had some pretty good young men on hand, as well as several pretty good girls.

How about letting these young people get to know each other themselves?
For Qin Huairu, this is absolutely great news. How can there be any reason to refuse?
Good guy, the blind date was arranged just like that.

Xiaodoubao and his six siblings were arranged to go on a blind date on the 29th of the Lunar New Year, the day they went shopping for new year's goods.

However, although we are all young people, there are still many differences in our thinking.

Therefore, Xiaodoubao and the other three sisters did not make it, and neither did Brother Jing and Hot Wheels.

On the contrary, the dull gourd, the little boy, fell in love with a pretty girl.

So, Xiao Doan and the girl continued to date, and Xiao Doubao and the others went home.

After coming back, Qin Huairu heard about this and couldn't help but ordered the bean buns for the three of them:
"Tell me, you three sisters are all grown up. Why are you so shy? The male is married and the female is married. Is there anything wrong with this blind date?"

"They are both people who know the basics. I remember your father and I back then."

Well, it seems that she and Duan Nian didn't meet on a blind date.

Forget it, I won’t mention this matter anymore, it’s still important to educate your children now.

It's just that Xiaodoubao and the others have been talked about for so many days, and they have become accustomed to it.

Therefore, the left ear goes in and the right ear goes out, and it is not affected at all.

In the evening, the little boy came back and was pulled into the living room for a three-chamber interrogation.

The little one was very honest and explained things clearly directly.

The girl's name is He Minhong. She was admitted to Peking University last year and is currently studying in the Chinese Department.

He is the same age as the little one and three months younger than the little one.

So far, the two of them were having a great time chatting.

After Qin Huairu heard this, he immediately made the decision:
"Then take advantage of the Chinese New Year period to get along well, and get engaged directly after the Chinese New Year."

"Besides, if you ask me, you should hurry up and deal with your affairs at Princeton University, and then come back to the capital to teach."

"Anyway, your father also said that you must come back before 1980. I think now is the right time!"

Her words immediately shocked the little girl.

Then he immediately retorted, saying that he still needed to study and would definitely not be able to come back in a short time.

Moreover, even if he wants to return to the capital, he will not come back to teach, he will come back to do research.

"Aren't you doing theoretical research? Is this no different in the capital than in Bald Eagle?"

"Mom, if you don't understand, don't use these layman's words."

The little one suddenly felt helpless:

"You can ask my dad. He founded Apple himself, so he has the most say."

"Not to mention other scientific research, even if it is theoretical research, the academic atmosphere in Bald Eagle or Moscow must be better."

"As for the mainland, I'm not saying it's not good, but I think it's difficult to integrate in my current situation."

"I'm still very young now. It's the time to study. I can't over-expend or waste my talents. This is what my dad told me."

Qin Huairu was speechless after being rebuffed by the little one.

For many years, I kept silent, listening quietly and watching the children's speeches.

In fact, the children have grown up and have their own ideas.

Although these ideas may not be in line with Qin Huairu's wishes.

But many years can guarantee that they are definitely a red heart.

As long as they are patriotic, other aspects are not very important.

Of course, for many years, I still approved of the love relationship between the little girl and He Minhong.

I also agree with Qin Huairu's proposal of getting engaged after the year.

When the little boy saw that his father had said the same thing, he had no choice but to nod and agree.

So, basically, the first child in the family to start a family has been decided.

One step ahead, and the next step is to lead step by step.

Qin Huairu continued to urge Xiaodou Bao and the others, but the effect didn't seem to be very good.

The Spring Festival is coming as scheduled. These days, Xiao Dian and He Minhong often go on dates, and their relationship heats up rapidly.

However, after the Spring Festival, I am afraid we will have to face separation.

As a child, I discussed with He Minhong whether to transfer to the University of Hong Kong to study?

As for the Chinese Department, the Chinese professors at the University of Hong Kong are quite strong.

What's more, Bai Doufu, Xiaomei and Xiaoqian all wrote novels, so it was enough to communicate with He Minhong.

Not to mention that this great writer will be her future father-in-law for many years.

It is absolutely suitable to transfer to the University of Hong Kong.

He Minhong was shy and did not respond directly.

However, after she went home and discussed it with her parents, her parents agreed directly.

Her father, He Qinsheng, was originally a professor at Renmin University. During the Spring Festival, he had communicated with the couple for many years.

He Qinsheng not only admires this man for many years, but also admires him.

It is indeed a very good marriage for his daughter to marry such a genius as Xiao Budian and join the Xu family.

So there is nothing to hesitate, just agree.

So, not long after the Spring Festival, we spent many years looking for ways to deal with this matter.

For him, it was just a phone call away.

But as a human being, you can't do this.

Many years ago, I personally went to Wenjin Street to find the relevant responsible leaders for help and coordination.

In the end, he was scolded by the leader, and he only made one request: that the wedding must be held here in the capital, and he would also ask for a wedding drink at that time.

I have naturally agreed to this for many years.

At most, one can be held on Hong Kong Island and one in the capital. It is even possible that it will be held directly in the capital.

It's a good opportunity to invite Huo Jiandong and the others to come to the capital to have a look, and let them invest in the capital.

It is now seven or eight years ago. The general direction of economic construction has been completely determined, and farmers below have begun to contract land.

In fact, Xishui Village started taking action last year.

It is no longer news in Xishui Village to contract land and get more rewards for more work, or even to open up wasteland for farming.

After the matter of Ho Min-hong's transfer to another school was resolved, the family returned to Hong Kong Island many years ago.

He Minhong also left the capital together, and He Qinsheng and his wife Miao Mengjuan also went to Hong Kong Island to have a look.

After getting on the plane, He Qinsheng's family of three were shocked.

Good guy, what a private luxury jet!
What kind of property is this?

When they were in the capital, the family kept a very low profile for many years. Apart from frequent trips to Wenjin Street for many years, simply looking at the family living in a courtyard house, one would not be able to associate them with a wealthy businessman who traveled by private jet.

Although the Rolls-Royce at your doorstep is quite luxurious, it is just a car after all.

Many senior cadres use high-end cars, which are also very luxurious.

After flying for two hours, the plane landed smoothly on the runway of Hong Kong Island International Airport.

Yes, the new airport on Hong Kong Island was put into operation last year.

In the next few years, Kai Tak Airport will slowly withdraw from the stage of history.

Real estate companies such as Land Group, Cheung Kong Holdings, and Wharf Group have already divided up that land.

Several real estate groups will work together to rebuild the original Kai Tak Airport into a comprehensive residential community integrating commercial pedestrian streets, residences, food streets, film and television entertainment.

What we are creating is a new livable town on Hong Kong Island.

"This is the airport on Hong Kong Island? Why is it so big? It's so clean!"

He Minhong couldn't believe it at all, and his eyes felt like they were not enough.

The kid next to me smiled and explained that there is actually a shopping mall where you can hang out, but you usually only go shopping when you have to board the plane.

It's better to go home now.

Seven Rolls-Royce cars were parked in the waiting area, and Li Jinlian and the others had been waiting for a while.

Of course it will be quite a distance from the international airport back to Deep Water Bay.

It was the first time for the He family to come here, and they had arranged a car reception for many years.

"Hey, isn't your father with us?"

Seeing that he hadn't gotten into the car for many years, He Minhong couldn't help but curiously whispered in the little boy's ear.

"My dad must be busy, and he prefers to take a helicopter home. This is often the case."

"Helicopter?"

Ever since he met Xiao Doian, He Minhong felt that his outlook on life had been refreshed.

A lot of new words came out of Bu Dian's mouth since she was a child, making her look like a country girl with little knowledge.

For many years, I took a helicopter and went to Xintiandi Square first.

Apple's press conference will be held this afternoon.

As the founder and the keynote speaker at today's conference, of course he will appear.

At No. 72 Deep Water Bay, Ho Min-hong's family of three took a bus for more than an hour.

As soon as I got off the bus, I was shocked by the huge manor and villa in front of me.

Villa No. 72 is two villas combined into one. The garden area alone is nine acres of land.

Nine acres of land is already very, very large.

Many families in the mainland, even a large family, cannot cultivate nine acres of rice fields.

For lunch, I came back in a hurry for many years, and left again after lunch.

He Qinsheng and his family didn't know what was going on. It wasn't until the little boy turned on the TV in the living room that they realized that the company that had been in business for many years had a new product that needed to be released.

"Little one, I remember your father doesn't write novels? Why is he also the founder of a mobile phone company?"

Looking at the introduction on TV, He Qinsheng became even more curious.

On the side, Bai Doufu couldn't help but said:
"Uncle He, in fact, my father did write novels 12 years ago, but later he opened many companies."

“This Apple company was founded by my father two years ago, and now it’s just two years old.”

"According to my dad, it's been two years and it's time to launch a new product. Well, this is the new product my dad is launching today."

As she was talking, Bai Doufu picked up the laptop in her hand and showed it to her.

"Brother and sister, if you do creative work in the future, you can use a computer to type. This will be more efficient."

"My father, aunt, elder sister, and I usually use computers to type."

Almost once again, He Minhong's outlook on life was impacted again.

She didn't even understand handwriting creation, but she had already jumped to computer creation?
On the TV screen, the latest Apple laptop is being introduced for many years.

An epoch-making, ultra-thin notebook, with one in hand, I have it all in the world.

The computer system is not a Microsoft system, but the Hongmeng system developed by Apple itself.

The operability and responsiveness are far superior to Microsoft systems.

After boasting like this for many years, the entire press conference was in an uproar.

Infinity TV broadcast this technological feast live.

In addition to the latest product, laptops, mobile phones have also been updated.

It’s not an innovation like squeezing out toothpaste. Anyway, the size, weight, battery life, etc. are all huge leaps compared to the previous mobile phone.

Many consumers, as well as potential consumers, are all excited.

Apart from anything else, just the smaller size and lighter weight made those businessmen excited.

why?
Because compared with the previous old mobile phone, the weight of the new mobile phone has become one hundred grams.

One hundred grams may not seem like much, but in fact, it saves those small business owners from being so tired.These small business owners make dozens of calls almost every day.

When people hold their mobile phones to make calls every day, various occupational diseases have begun to appear.

Cervical spondylosis or something like that is really fatal.

The press conference ended quickly, and pre-sale officially started a week later.

Due to limited production, we can only engage in hunger marketing.

Weed!

After Motorola heard the news, everyone was numb.

What the hell, can you still do this?
pre-sale?

"I'll wait to see your jokes!"

Not to mention Motorola, many new mobile phone companies and computer companies established in the past two years are all waiting to see Apple's jokes.

The next day, all four Apple flagship stores on Hong Kong Island were overcrowded.

Many flagship stores in New York, Tokyo, Medan, Seoul, and Bay Island also experienced crowding.

With such a grand occasion, all the news and newspapers reported the matter.

Competitors such as Motorola all shut up and hid in their own offices.

So sour!
There's nothing we can do about it. Apple's situation is really hard to blame. Their products are too popular.

He Minhong's parents did not stay in Hong Kong Island for long, and returned to the capital only a week later.

As for Ho Min-hung himself, he used his own pocket money to buy a house near the University of Hong Kong.

That house was for He Minhong to live in.

However, it seemed that Bai Tofu was soon invited to the Sassoon Road Villa.

Because high-rise residences are still not very comfortable, it must be more comfortable to live in a villa.

What's more, Bai Doufu and his three sisters are all here. They are all young people, and there is nothing they are not used to.

In this way, Stanley Ho began his life on Hong Kong Island.

The little boy returned to the bald eagle and continued his scientific research path.

Soon it was the day of Apple's pre-sale, and the flagship store was still overcrowded.

The three Bai Tofu sisters, together with He Minhong and one or two little ones Xu, went straight to the flagship store.

As an international superstar in Hong Kong, Bai Tofu does not put on any disguise at all and shows his true colors directly.

Although many fans are used to it, they were still surprised to say hello to Bai Tofu.

Knowing that she came to the flagship store not to participate in an event, but to go shopping with her sisters, fans also watched curiously.

This also caused the already overcrowded flagship store to become even more crowded and lively.

Brothers Jing Geer and Feng Huolun didn't come at all, because they had already seen through their sister's trick.

It is impossible to ask them to help carry the bag.

"According to the current situation, today's pre-sale will definitely be very good, right?"

He Minhong didn't know much about this, but he was still shocked to see so many people at the scene.

Although she is already engaged to the little boy, she is already considered a member of the Xu family.

But she still didn't know much about the Xu family's situation.

She just heard Bai Doufu introduce several groups, and she didn't have any idea.

Apple gave her a big impact, because mobile phones and laptops are very popular products.

Hong Kong has a population of nearly 1000 million and is a super city.

But the flagship store is so big, yet so crowded, even in Beijing during the Chinese New Year, it is not so scary.

You know, they went out today, but they were sitting at a nearby subway station and came here by subway.

Because the road in the city center is too crowded and it is impossible to drive there.

Bai Doufu and the others have already figured out the rules, and taking the subway is the most appropriate way.

"It will definitely be no less. I'll find out later when I go over and ask."

Xiaodou Bao laughed and responded optimistically.

"There will definitely be a lot of them. Dad is the best!"

Xu Yijian said something abruptly, and Xu Mengyao immediately followed and shouted.

The latter is already Xu Yi's follower and yes-man.

Especially since she admires her father so much, she still agrees with Xu Yi's words.

He Minhong was immediately happy, and he envied the sisters very much. Such an atmosphere was unlikely in the He family.

Not long after, Bai Doufu found the person in charge of the flagship store and asked about the pre-sale issue.

The person in charge told her that the current pre-sale data for mobile phones is 320 units, and the pre-sale data for computers is 220 units.

There are currently only four flagship stores on Hong Kong Island, and it’s only close to noon.

So having such data is already very good.

If we predict based on today's whole day's data, then the sales data of a flagship store may exceed [-] for mobile phones and about [-] for computers.

"so much?"

After He Minhong heard this data, he was stunned.

At first glance, this data may seem small.

But actually?
The price of just one mobile phone is HKD [-], and the price of a computer is more than double.

In an era when the per capita salary is [-] to [-] yuan, if ordinary people want to buy such technological products, they have to save money for three or four years.

But, is this realistic?
"How much? I think it's okay, not too much."

Bai Doufu and the other sisters shook their heads and said with some disappointment.

This is typical of Versailles.

Just counting mobile phones, the pre-sale data of one flagship store is [-] units per day, and the pre-sales volume of four flagship stores is [-] units.

This means that in about two days, the pre-sale data can exceed [-].

If it exceeds [-], the revenue will be nearly [-] million Hong Kong dollars.

HK$[-] million. Which company has such a market value?
He Minhong wanted to say something else, but he saw a few young people coming in front of him. They directly inquired about getting a loan to buy an Apple mobile phone.

hiss!
Take a loan to buy a mobile phone?
Crazy?
He Minhong felt that it was a bit excessive to buy a house with a loan, let alone buy a mobile phone with a loan?

"Is this really appropriate?"

She consulted Bai Doufu and the others in a low voice.

But Bai Doufu and the other sisters rolled their eyes, "This is a very normal market behavior. I don't understand it very well, but I think it's normal."

After coming to Hong Kong Island, He Minhong felt that his outlook on life was constantly being refreshed.

Whenever she thought that all this was incredible enough, it turned out that she was still too young, and something even more shocking happened later.

After returning from shopping at the flagship store, He Minhong felt that he should take it easy.

Just stay in the ivory tower and be a good boy.

The entire Hong Kong Island fell into madness because of Apple mobile phones and computers.

At a real estate sales store in Central, A Bin came to work today with his mobile phone.

As soon as he arrived at the intermediary store office, A Bin was surrounded by his colleagues.

Because as we all know, A Bin is just an ordinary employee who has just joined the company for less than half a year. His average monthly salary in the past six months is 100 yuan.

Definitely the bottom one in the store.

A Bin's family is not a wealthy family. Anyway, everyone knows that his family still lives in a low-rent house provided by the government.

A family of six people crowded into a small house of just over 50 square meters.

How can such a person afford an Apple mobile phone costing 5 yuan?
Colleagues were all envious and quickly asked A Bin what was going on?

In this regard, Abin did not hide it, he directly said that he bought the mobile phone with a loan.

"Then how much do you have to repay every month? Is your salary enough?"

Everyone was shocked and quickly asked.

"I only have to pay back 800 yuan every month. What should I be afraid of?"

After saying that, A Bin immediately took out his mobile phone, dialed the customers he had contacted before, and started scanning the list.

One day passed, and A Bin successfully made an appointment with his intended client and took him to see the house.

A few days later, A Bin successfully completed three sales, one of which was to sell a villa worth 1000 million Hong Kong dollars.

The company's commission was five points, and he got 20.

hiss!
One step in place!

When colleagues saw A Bin being so outrageous, they immediately stopped hesitating and rushed directly to the flagship store in Central to get a loan to buy a mobile phone.

A Bin's example is very obvious.

All the colleagues in the store are very aware of A Bin's sales ability.

It has to be said that it is very strong, but that is impossible.

Therefore, it is more due to the mobile phone bought with a loan, which fully proves his own strength and makes customers trust him.

Of course, it is unknown whether there are other explanations such as luck.

There is no doubt that A Bin himself works hard enough and is courageous enough.

Therefore, real estate companies were the first to popularize mobile phones.

Not to mention that everyone has one, at least more than half of the people own an Apple mobile phone.

Many young people became even more crazy after learning that they could buy mobile phones with loans.

There are many examples like A Bin on Hong Kong Island.

Many young people in Hong Kong are very hardworking and adventurous.

Especially those in the sales field, most of the brave people have taken out loans to buy mobile phones.

Apple cooperates with banks to achieve higher and faster sales figures.

In less than a month, mobile phone sales soared to [-] units. Don't increase the rate too fast.

I was also very surprised when I learned about this data many years ago.

Listening to Yi Jianbo's excited report, Niannian smiled slightly. After opening the Pandora's box of loans, everything became very interesting.

"In addition to the explosion of sales data at our Hong Kong Island headquarters, we were also very surprised by Tokyo."

Yi Jianbo said that the sales data of the entire Tokyo in the past month directly exceeded 67 units.

I have been surprised by this data for many years, but I also think it is quite normal.

Since it is already seven or eight years ago, Tokyo, which is said to be able to buy an entire bald eagle, has such sales data, which is actually quite normal.

Maybe the per capita GDP in Tokyo is not particularly high, but the population base is large and the total GDP is high.

In addition, Tokyo people have always been very arrogant and arrogant, so it is completely normal to have such an illusion.

In addition to the data explosion in Tokyo, the sales data of Bald Eagle, Europe, Southeast Asia and other places are also terrifying.

Hearing this, Duan Nian nodded and said:
"Then can our factory supply speed keep up?"

Adding up the global sales data, there are more than 200 million mobile phones. The data for computers is slightly different, but there are still nearly one million units.

Such data is a big surprise for Apple.

But for upstream suppliers, it may be a worry for happiness, right?
"Boss, please rest assured. I have personally inspected these factories and ensured that there are no problems and that sufficient supply is available."

Seeing Yi Jianbo with a serious face, he gave up and said:
"Okay, I can trust you to manage the company."

"Remember to balance work with rest, and don't make yourself too hard."

"Also, for upstream factories, we must ensure quality and must not damage our own reputation. Do you understand?"

For Apple, there have been high hopes for many years.

Although Apple's current revenue data has begun to explode, it is still far from his expected goals.

A mobile phone costing nearly 5 yuan seems to be a high-end machine, but it actually shuts out more consumers.

However, today’s infrastructure such as signal towers is still too poor.

Therefore, even if you want to reduce prices and expand the market for many years, it will be difficult to do so.

So it’s better to take your time, moisturizing things quietly is better than anything else.

Time passed like water, and March passed in the blink of an eye. On April [-]st, the little boy came back from the bald eagle.

For many years, the family took a luxury yacht directly to Xishui Village.

Tomb Sweeping Day is coming soon, and it’s time to worship ancestors.

Gulfstream One had already headed to Nanyuan Airport in Beijing and brought Lao Xu and the others over to Xishui Village.

When they arrived at Xishui Village, Bai Doufu and the others were shocked by the beautiful Xishui Village in front of them.

Spacious streets, very clean and tidy.

Rows of southern Hakka buildings with blue bricks, white walls, and gray tiles, as well as animal carvings, etc., look antique and very beautiful.

The large, flat square is surrounded by many flowers and green grass, and it looks perfect.

He Minhong, who came to Xishui Village with him, was quite surprised when he saw what he saw.

Because this is the mainland, it is basically impossible for such a beautiful and modern scene to appear.

But reality appeared before her eyes.

Except for Xishui Village, which is as perfect as a painting, other villages, land, etc. further away have either been turned into cement roads, factories, construction sites under construction, or a lot of vegetables. Vegetable patch.

Anyway, the crops used to grow staple foods such as rice are no longer visible.

It doesn't look like an agricultural village at all, but an industrial base.

"Wow, is this place already so beautiful?"

Bai Doufu and the others were surprised, and Qin Huairu also had sharp eyes.

For many years, I smiled and said nothing.

Last year, he stayed here alone, and Qin Huairu and the others didn't come.

All of this is the result of his supervision.

As a designer, the result he wants is everything in front of him.

"Wow, these are tulips, right? Why are there so many colors? There are more tulips than those at Tuen Mun Farm."

Around Xishui Village and the small park next to it, you can see basically all kinds of flowers, the most dazzling of which are the tulips in full bloom.

Colorful and colorful, hundreds of flowers are in full bloom.

There are also many people in Xishui Village. After a quick glance over the years, I know that most of these people are people from nearby villagers and factories who come over there.

After all, Xishui Village is so beautiful, and there are such bright flowers, so it’s perfect for a walk here.

Lao Xu and the others came to Xishui Village earlier than many years ago, so when they arrived many years ago, their villa area was already very lively.

"This is our house too?"

He Minhong followed the little one and couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at the super modern villa area in front of him.

"Well, this is the house that dad personally supervised the construction and construction here last year. It is also the house where he raised his grandfather."

In fact, it's not just about providing for the elderly. At times like now, when there are so many people in Lao Xu's family, having a place to live in Xishui Village is better than anything else.

You can't just stay with someone else like your eighth uncle, right?
It’s really not possible to borrow a house. After all, the current population size of Lao Xu’s family is more than 30 people, so it shouldn’t be too scary.

Xiaomei didn't come back with her. If her family also came back, there would probably be even more people.

They stayed in Xishui Village for two days. During these two days, they had not been idle for many years. They had something to do every day.

Because there are still a lot of tombs, except for a few relatively close tombs that were rebuilt, the others were simply renovated.

Moreover, in addition to Xishui Village, there are two other villages surnamed Xu nearby, which have the same origin as Xishui Village.

This means that we have to get together with these two villages and have a big meal.

Anyway, Lao Xu is particularly good at talking when he gets together with these old friends.

He grew up in Xishui Village and is familiar with every plant and plant here.

Although many people his age, or a few years younger than him, are no longer here.

But as long as the other party said their parents' names, Lao Xu would react immediately.

Xishui Village is changing rapidly. In just one year, it has already undergone earth-shaking changes.

Coming here again, Lao Xu was reluctant to leave.

On the day of Qingming Festival, the gongs and drums are noisy and the sound of firecrackers is deafening.

There was a big shot in the village, and the villagers were very happy and celebrated lively, which was even more lively than the Chinese New Year.

Sacrifice to ancestors, cattle, sheep, pigs and other sacrifices were all placed on the altar.

The aroma of food filled the surroundings, and many little kids were crying and watching intently.

"Why is there a lion dance? But it's so beautiful."

He Minhong was very curious about everything in front of him, and so were Xu Yi and Xu Mengyao.

Although performances such as lion dance are not uncommon on Hong Kong Island.

But here in Xishui Village, it is still rare.

What's more, this time, Xishui Village hired a professional lion dancer from Baiyun City at a huge price.

The performance of this show is very interesting.

Not to mention the nearby villagers, even the workers from the nearby factories were all attracted.
