The road construction route was re-planned, bypassing Yujiagou as a whole and leading directly to Zhoujia Village. Although it was a bit far away, there was nothing we could do about it.
Li Longtu could have forced Yujiagou to build roads through his superiors, but it was not necessary.
There is no road access there, and the local villagers do not enjoy the convenience. This is their own choice.
In terms of medicinal wine, Chen Mengke was in charge of the plantation and contacted Zheng Zhigang in Lianzhou City. Within a month, the profit doubled again.
The Jiang family also took over Li Longtu's cosmetics from Chunlei Group and re-launched them on the market.
Within a month of the product being launched on the market, it achieved astonishing sales.
This is mainly due to the reputation and customers that "Feng Yue" accumulated in the past.
Of course, the product must have been renamed this time, and Li Longtu chose a more down-to-earth name, "Shame Flower".
The implication is very simple. The appearance of women who have used this product will reach the point where they will be ashamed of their beauty.
All undertakings are developing prosperously.
Before we knew it, two months had passed without any big storms or waves, and the highway was completed as scheduled.
As soon as this road opened, passenger traffic immediately increased.
Many businessmen and businessmen came to visit Li Longtu's plantation because of their cooperation with medicinal wine.
After going back and forth, some discerning people noticed the scenery of Zhoujia Village.
Some people have also discussed related tourism business with him.
However, Li Longtu did not agree directly and left the other party's contact information for further discussion in the future.
There are two reasons why we did not explore the tourism resources of Zhoujiacun.
One is that Li Longtu believes that the time is not yet ripe. First of all, there is no specific development plan. Secondly, he and his father Li Xiangdong will go back to Lao Li's house recently.
It was the old Li family who had severed ties with Li Longtu's parents.
This time I went back mainly because Li Longtu's grandmother Lin Lan celebrated her 70th birthday.
No matter how bad the relationship between Li Xiangdong and Lao Li's family was, he would still go to his mother's birthday.
As for the birthday gift, Li Longtu told his father not to worry about it and he would prepare it himself.
What’s more, Chen Mengke also wants to go with him.
Although Li Longtu didn't need to announce to Lao Li's family that he had a girlfriend, he still wanted her to go.
Otherwise, it always feels as if we don’t care about girls and don’t give them status.
It's my seventieth birthday, but it won't be grand.
Because there were only a few people in Lao Li's family, Li Xiangdong had one brother and one sister.
This is in the countryside and there are not many people.
It is estimated that by then we will be a family, bring the younger ones and have a meal together.
On the same day, Li Longtu handed over the plantation to Zhou Fu and Xiao Cuntou to look after, while he drove his big G and took his father and Chen Mengke to the village where Lao Li's family was located.
That village is relatively far away and is called the Mountain Forest Brigade. It is considered a big village. There are small leaders at the grassroots level. When they hear the news, they return to the town to take charge.
Li Longtu didn't care about these things. He was in a good mood and thought it was just a birthday celebration for the old man. As for other people, he didn't even bother to look at it.
…
Forest Brigade, Lao Li's house.
A rough and hoarse woman's voice came from the big tiled house:
"I said, brother, how do you do things? I'm so tight that today is our 70th birthday. I have to buy decent groceries. I hired the cook from the town and bought what he asked for! Look at the results.
What kind of stuff did you buy? Can you eat it?"
In the back kitchen, a middle-aged woman with a round waist and a body as big as a bucket said with her teeth and claws.
She took out a bunch of vegetables from the plastic bag and threw it in front of the fat middle-aged man with an aggrieved look on his face:
"Look at this vegetable. It's wilted. It's not fresh at first sight. It might as well be grown at home! How did you buy it? Didn't I ask you to buy it in the town? Didn't you go to that girl's shop at the head of the village?
Damn it! Ha! Li Xiangjun, you treat me like this? No, you treat our mother like this! Today is her birthday, and you treat her like your son?"
The man named Li Xiangjun hesitated and did not dare to speak. The food was almost thrown in his face. He did not dare to raise his head to look at his eldest sister. However, his wife Xie Qiao next to him stepped forward and explained with a smile:
"Sister, the money you gave us at that time was not enough. We went to town and the money was gone to buy a few kilograms of waist meat. We had to pay for the lettuce and other things ourselves..."
When the eldest sister of Lao Li's family heard this, her eyebrows immediately stood up, she pointed at Xie Qiao and said:
"You are an outsider, go to work in Saleng, and don't get involved in my old Li family's affairs here!"
Xie Qiao was so angry that she took a look at her husband Li Xiangjun, who still looked like a coward who had been bullied. She was so angry that her chest heaved, and she couldn't say anything. She could only stamp her feet and go to the side to wash the vegetables.
"Look what kind of wife you are looking for! Are you going to imitate that third child? Ah! You found a disobedient woman!"
After saying that, the elder sister reached out and poked Li Xiangjun hard on the head. The latter still remained silent and acted like a victim.
"None of you men are successful! I still have to support Lao Li's family!"
After saying that, she turned around and went into the house to find the old man.
This mean and unruly middle-aged woman is the eldest daughter of the old Li family, Li Xiangmei.
Now she alone has the final say in everything at home.
Today's grocery shopping was also arranged by her.
Don't think that she gave the second eldest child, Li Xiangjun, money to sell vegetables. In fact, she got the money from an old man, saying it was to buy her a birthday.
When the old man heard this, he was afraid that the children would spend money indiscriminately, so he gave a lot of his family wealth to the eldest brother Li Xiangmei and asked her to make arrangements.
As a result, less than one-fifth of the money she gave Li Xiangjun to buy groceries went into her pocket.
She had just finished venting her anger at the old man, and now she went to the old man to say bad things again. As if she really cared about Lao Li's family, she sat down next to the old woman and started to talk:
"Mom, well, you said my father died early and why is it so difficult for our old Li family? I was thinking of celebrating your birthday and specially invited a cook from the town, but the second brother still played tricks on me.
He doesn't even buy groceries well, and I say a few words to him, but Xie Qiao is still unwilling and points at my nose and refuses to say anything nice!"
The old man listened, nodded frequently, and then said slowly:
"You are the boss, please be more considerate. When I leave, you will be the mainstay of Lao Li's house! Even though you are a girl, you have such a temperament that you can take the lead."
The old man's words were nice, and Li Xiangmei also liked to hear them, but she didn't respond at all to what the eldest daughter said about her second son just now.
The old woman has lived a lifetime, and now she is a little confused, but she is not yet Alzheimer's disease. She still knows a little bit about some people and things.
For example, her second son has a bit of a coward character, but he is not bad in nature and will not cheat on such trivial matters as buying groceries.
