The road in Huxiao Village was repaired, telephone poles were erected along the road, and the installation of electric circuits and electric meters in every household was completed within a few days. The telecommunications department also erected a satellite TV signal tower on the hillside, which the villagers nicknamed the Big Pot Lid.
.
Xu Sanxiao spends money like water these days, not to mention money. As soon as the electricity came through, he took the lead in ordering a 54-inch LCD TV from Nanshan City to put in his home. In the evening, the new TV attracted the whole village, young and old.
Come and watch.
Widow Mi leaned against the door with her arms folded, looking at Mi Li'er holding Mi Hua'er in her arms as she sat in the crowd excitedly. Her expression was in a daze, as if some memories had been brought back to her.
Xu Sanxiao came over with a bag of melon seeds and said, "Why don't you go into the yard and take a look?"
Widow Mi sighed: "When I was a child, a family bought a black-and-white TV in the place where I lived. That year happened to be the women's volleyball team's third consecutive championship. People in the alleys in front and behind crowded that house waiting to watch the broadcast. The situation at that time was similar to
It’s exactly the same today.”
"In this village, some women have never left the mountains in their lives. Watching TV is such a distant thing for them. Xu Sanxiao, you have done a good thing."
Xu San smiled and said: "This is just the beginning. After the old party secretary buys the gun and our hunting park opens, it won't be long before every household in the entire Huxiao Village can afford a TV." As he said that, he held the melon seeds in his hand.
Passed it over.
Widow Mi smiled and grabbed a handful, feeling in a trance again. At that time, she was also eating melon seeds, crowded in the crowd like her two daughters, and witnessed the women's volleyball team winning the third world championship. The situation at that time was compared to today, and she couldn't help but feel...
The feeling that life seems like a dream.
"Xu Sanxiao, you used to tell people's fortunes outside, so you must believe in fate, right?"
Xu Sanxiao shook his head, "People often say that fate is unpredictable, but I believe that the cycle of destiny means that this process is not static. As long as you have enough knowledge and strength, you can change your destiny."
Looking at the confident light in his eyes, Widow Mi nodded slightly, her posture innately elegant: "So far you have done well, but I don't know what will happen in the future. Although the idea of Tiger Roaring Villa is good, it is still too wishful thinking.
If you want to make money these days, you can't just have an idea. You have to find a way to attract customers to the village. When the old man buys the gun back, the hunting park will be opened. Then what do you plan to do?
How to promote it? No publicity unit would dare to advertise this kind of business for you."
Xu Sanxiao scratched his head and praised: "That makes sense, what do you think?"
Widow Mi curled her lips and said: "What can I, a woman, say about such a big matter? In this village, except for the old branch secretary, I don't think you can point to anyone, but I guess even the old man is helpless on this matter.
So in the end you have to figure it out yourself.”
Xu San smiled and said: "We've been talking together for a long time, it's so lively, it's all nonsense."
Widow Mi said: "If you have a solution, you'd better think about it quickly. Don't look at the villagers who are enjoying your benefits now and are grateful to you. In a few days, when Huxiao Villa doesn't see improvement, these people will doubt your idea."
It’s not just a fool’s errand. When the time comes, your move to place all the private mountain land in Huxiao Village under the management of Huxiao Villa will bring you endless trouble.”
Xu Sanxiao sighed: "Can't you hope for me to be better? Why do you think my relationship with Mi Li'er is at stake?"
Widow Mi said: "My words of advice are harsh to your ears. Isn't it good for you to remind you like this?"
Xu San smiled and said, "That's not all. It would be better if you could help me think of a way." After saying this, he turned around and left.
Widow Mi asked: "Where are you going?"
Xu Sanxiao turned around and said with a deliberately sad face: "Without wealth, people will be happy. I have spent all my money, but things are about to go bad. Is it okay to find a place to cry?"
Widow Mi was finally amused by him.
Xu Sanxiao didn’t know what the ancients said about charming a city with a smile, but she must not be much prettier than the woman in front of her. I remember reading a book before, which said that an emperor in the Ming Dynasty married a woman eighteen years older than him.
As a noble concubine, that woman was so powerful in the harem that she was still coaxed as a treasure by the emperor when she was fifty years old. I thought it was nonsense in the past, but now I believe it. Just like this woman, she is so talented that all the vicissitudes of life have gone through her.
Walking. Looking at Widow Mi's smile, Xu Sanxiao couldn't bear it in her heart, and wandered towards the village entrance road.
Compared with the winding roads in the past, today's simple roads are flat and wide, and can accommodate three carriages side by side. The old party secretary drove the donkey cart on it, looking left and right intoxicated, as if he was entering the mountains for the first time. He came
Xu Sanxiao had been waiting for him for a long time when he arrived at the entrance of the village.
"You are deliberately trying to scare me to death." Xu Sanxiao came over in a few steps and glanced at the donkey cart, "Hey, we have bought it back. Now we have everything ready. We only need the east wind to wait for you.
Where are these guns?"
Huo Yugui chuckled, "You said you don't care, but after all you are still afraid that I won't be able to do this." He slapped his hand on the sack in the carriage and said, "Twenty double-barreled shotguns and 20,000 rounds of ammunition. Give them all."
You got it back. This time, for your sake, I even found old comrades I haven’t seen for sixty-three years. How can you thank me?"
Xu San smiled and said: "When the hunting park is opened, I will let you shoot this one!"
Huo Yugui laughed loudly and looked back at the way he came. Suddenly, he felt sad. He stopped smiling and sighed: "Just because of this road, three great laborers in the village fell to death, including Meng Erqiu and his father.
, Otherwise, I would have allowed this little bastard to misbehave in the position of village chief for so many years?"
Xu Sanxiao said: "Don't worry, Meng Erqiu's name is not in my recipes. As long as he doesn't cause trouble for me in the future, I will give him all the benefits he deserves when I start working at Huxiao Villa."
Huo Yugui pointed at him and said: "You kid, you are such a ghost. I haven't even said anything yet. You already know what I'm going to say to you. Come on, I won't say anything. I can do anything for you."
It's almost done. From today on, I'll be sitting at home waiting to see your jokes. Anyway, the road has been repaired and the electricity has been connected. Whether you, the kid, will suffer a loss has nothing to do with me."
Xu Sanxiao laughed happily: "Don't you expect that one day the county will send people to replace our road with asphalt?"
Huo Yugui looked at him suspiciously, "Can you? You want to draw cakes for me again."
Xu Sanxiao pointed to the road behind him and said: "Isn't this cake delicious for you? Why not eat it again?" He simply said: "In a word, this hunting park has been launched, and I have to ask you to show your best.
Use your remaining heat, and with your old gun standing guard, no bobcat or wild beast will dare to come to inspect the work, and no wild boar or roe deer will dare to hurt any guest."
The flattery was so comfortable that the old man glared and curled his lips, contentedly: "That's right, you know your stuff, I'm here, it's like the King of Hell is here, and you abdicate."
??????
With the connection of roads and electric wires, the hunting park business license of Huxiao Villa has also been obtained. Xu Sanxiao bought decoration materials and organized some skilled villagers who had returned from migrant work to repair the village houses door to door. In the spirit of repairing the old
The principle of staying true to the past maintains the simple and heavy style of the village house while adding many modern elements. For example, connecting to tap water, laying floor tiles in the house, and installing solar water heaters and bathrooms for each household. Before and after
Calculating the expenses, after meeting various expenses such as building roads, buying fences to encircle the mountains, and decorating village houses, Xu Sanxiao had very little left over from the 10 million he earned from selling the golden-feathered pheasants.
In the morning, Widow Mi, mother and daughter of Xu Sanxiao's family came to discuss the opening of Huxiao Villa.
Widow Mi showed the account book to Xu Sanxiao, a little distressed and a little annoyed, and said: "Sanwazi, your wealth is like a landslide, and your money is gone like a tsunami. Now there is less than 300,000 in the account.
, you count all the houses in the village as part of Huxiao Villa, and all the electricity bills are borne by the Villa. The Electricity Bureau requires a deposit of 100,000 yuan. After deducting this fee, there is only 200,000 yuan left.
, I once thought that ten million would be enough to spend for many years. Do you still have money for advertising now?"
Mi Li'er was still angry about the fact that the Golden Flower was sold. She puffed her cheeks and said, "If I had known that you would spend the money like this after getting the money, I shouldn't have let you sell the Golden Flower."
, and selling it so far away really pisses me off.”
You two, you and I scolded each other. Xu Sanxiao listened with a smile all the time. When they had enough and stopped talking, he said: "You can make money only if you can spend money. This is the first day you met me."
What did I have at that time?" This was said to Widow Mi, and then he said to Mi Li'er: "I have my own reasons for the big golden flower. This matter is not suitable to talk about now. I will bring it up someday.
Go to the old forest and you will understand everything."
Widow Mi couldn't hide her worry, "For the opening of Huxiao Villa, my opinion is to keep a low profile and just do it, and don't invite the Qin Opera troupe. What are your plans?"
Xu Sanxiao said: "That won't work. On that day, Deputy Mayor Jin will come here on behalf of Secretary Li. We will create such a big scene, but the opening will be shabby. Then I, Xu Sanxiao, am not deliberately giving eye drops to the leader?
?” Then he said: “Don’t worry, isn’t it just the cost of publicity? Just leave me a few thousand yuan of the 200,000 yuan, and the rest will be used for the opening ceremony. I have my own way to make Huxiao Villa famous all over the world.
"
Mi Li'er said: "First tell me what you can do, and we'll see if it's reliable or not. Otherwise, I'll listen to you and waste all the money on the celebration. By then, the villa won't be able to operate, and it won't be all in vain."
Busy work."
Xu San smiled and said: "How can I work in vain? In the past two months, I have at least built roads and connected electricity to the village. I have also installed solar energy and running water in every house, and also built a bathroom. How about you?
Tell me, is that thing convenient?"
Widow Mi frowned slightly, hesitated to speak, and took one last look at Mi Lier.
Mi Li'er said: "Who told you this? I'm talking about my sister's illness. This is what you promised me before selling the Golden Flower."
Xu Sanxiao suddenly realized, pondered for a moment, and said: "Let's do it, you do as I say first. If the business of Huxiao Villa fails to improve within three months, I will sell all the wild boars and pheasants and collect money for you to bring rice flowers to the mountain city.
Go and see a doctor."
Widow Mi and her daughter couldn't help but blush when they heard what he said. After all, Xu Sanxiao earned all the money based on his own ability. It was also his business how to spend it. They came to him for Mihua, not so much to stop him from squandering his family.
Rather, it was a selfish thought, fearing that if Xu Sanxiao spent this last sum of money, he would never make it back, which would delay Mihua's medical treatment, and the glimmer of hope that finally appeared would be shattered. But he didn't expect it.
Xu Sanxiao would give such a clear promise, as if he had taken Mi Hua's illness as his own responsibility. Mother and daughter, Widow Mi felt apologetic, while Mi Li'er felt happy and proud.
Xu Sanxiao stood up and said, "I'm going out for two or three days to prepare some things for the opening ceremony and publicity work."
Mi Li'er asked: "What are you preparing for? Do you need to go out for two or three days?"
Xu Sanxiao smiled mysteriously: "The secret must not be revealed. You will know it when the time comes. Maybe I will bring you a big surprise."
