Chapter 1506: Visiting the Old Village Chief
Weng Xiulian didn't know why, but she still obediently turned on the speakerphone.
"Still, I've turned on the speakerphone, what do you have to say!"
Weng Xiulian said with a trembling mood, and all the onlookers held their breath at this moment, because this call was very important, and it was related to the two most promising girls in the village.
"Mom, I panicked just now, Qi Xin is indeed the vice president of their company, and the second largest shareholder of the company, please forgive me for my lies. β
Yuan still said on the phone, she knew that the whole village would hear this call, but she had to tell the truth for the sake of her hard-working career.
Weng Xiulian sat on the ground with a stupid and ordinary voice, Qin Luan looked at her and ignored her, and pulled Qi Xin and her mother towards the house.
Wang Xiaoyong was a spectator this time, but she admired Qin Luan's handling of it, which not only proved Qi Xin's identity, but also debunked Weng Xiulian's foul words and changed Qi Xin's innocence.
After Qin Luan and the others entered the house, some neighbors who were usually good friends with Qi Xin's family followed, while some of the people who had just targeted Qi Xin returned home in disgrace although the rich couple were disgraced.
After Xin Gang sent away nearly 100 luxury cars behind him, he organized his brothers to unload a cart of New Year's goods prepared by Wang Xiaoyong and carry them all to the courtyard of Qi Xin's house.
The delicacies of this large off-road vehicle immediately aroused heated discussions among the villagers, because there were many bird's nest shark fins they had only heard of.
"This time the gift is worth more than 100,000 yuan, which is really a big deal, Qi Xin is amazing now. β
"You don't have to look at it, just a few boxes of sea cucumber and abalone, and there are bird's nest shark fins here, all of which are genuine. β
"I've heard about these delicacies on TV, and I guess I don't know what they taste like in my life. β
A group of people looked at the hill-like gifts in front of the door and sighed, and finally everyone agreed that Qi Xin had now far surpassed Yuan Yi, just from this posture.
"Sister Luan, how did you do it? Let Yuan still tell the truth. β
Qi Xin took Qin Luan's hand and asked excitedly.
"Haha... Sister, I am a partner with Yashi Lin of EstΓ©e International, how do you say I did it?"
Qin Luan laughed and said.
"Ah, Sister Luan, you are really powerful, you even know the CEO of Estee International?"
Qi Xin looked at Qin Luan and said in admiration.
"What is this? When you go back to Shencheng, I'll take you to get to know you. β
Qin Luan said with a smile.
"Okay, sister, you can take me to meet some of the big names in Shen Cheng, don't people say what kind of person they will become if they are with someone? β
Qi Xin said excitedly.
"If you want to get to know Shen Cheng's bigwig-level figures, you are looking for the wrong person for me?"
Qin Luan said with a giggle.
"Huh, Sister Luan, what do you mean?"
Qi Xin scratched his head and asked embarrassedly.
"Find your two brothers, either of them has more big guys than I know, and let them introduce you, but they are much better than me, and no one will not give face. β
Qin Luan said with a smile, in her opinion, Wang Xiaoyong and Xin Gang were better than themselves when they took Qi Xin out for a spin, so they said so.
At this moment, Qi Xin's parents walked in and said to Qi Xin with a little reproach:
"Why do you spend so much money on gifts when you come back?"
After listening to his father's words, Qi Xin looked at his father awkwardly and said:
"Dad, Mom, these gifts were all prepared by the big brother, and I have today's achievements with the help of the big brother. β
Qi Xin pointed at Wang Xiaoyong and said to the second elder, when Qi Xin's parents heard it, their faces instantly turned ugly after her words, and their eyes when they looked at Wang Xiaoyong also changed.
"Uncle and aunt, don't get me wrong, we're just Qi Xin's friends. β
Wang Xiaoyong looked at the two of them and immediately explained.
Qi Xin immediately explained in detail how he met Wang Xiaoyong and how he helped him negotiate business, the company's boss fulfilled his promise, and finally became the vice president.
Qi Xin's parents were like listening to heavenly books, but in the end they still understood the ins and outs, especially after knowing that Wang Xiaoyong and Qin Luan were lovers, the two were somewhat disappointed.
In the end, Qi Xin's parents deeply thanked Wang Xiaoyong, Qin Luan and Xin Gang, but when Qi Xin introduced her, she concealed Xin Gang's true identity, after all, the identity of this eldest brother is too sensitive.
Qi Xin's parents were really happy that their children had made Qin Luan and others in Shencheng as friends, and after thanking them, the two immediately went out to prepare lunch, after all, it was not easy for Wang Xiaoyong and others to come here once.
Some of the villagers who had not left immediately helped to live, Wang Xiaoyong and Qi Xin chatted in the house for a while, and Qi Xin said that he wanted to go to see the old village chief.
After all, the old village chief has a noble status in the village, and children like Qi Xin have grown up under his watch, Wang Xiaoyong and Qin Luan agreed to go together, just to take the opportunity to find out what resources the village has.
The three of them went out and took a few treasures on the gift pile, and then walked to the old village chief's house under the leadership of Qi Xin, and the two dogs went out to see a few people.
immediately snatched the gift that Wang Xiaoyong was carrying, and wanted to follow with him, Qi Xin had no choice but to nod and let him follow.
The old village chief's family lives at the foot of the mountain in the village, with three earthen houses and a single courtyard, the yard is well-behaved, and all the items are placed in an orderly manner.
Since the death of his wife, the old village chief has been alone, and his two sons have married wives and had children, but the old man does not go to anyone's house.
"Grandpa the village chief, are you at home?"
As soon as he entered the yard, Qi Xin shouted sweetly, and the second dog said with a smile:
"The village chief's grandfather must be at home, and he basically doesn't go out at this time. β
"As far as you know. β
Qi Xin gave him a big roll of his eyes, pursed his lips and said sarcastically.
At this moment, the parties pushed away from the inside out, and the old village chief walked out in good spirits, and saw Qi Xin and the others laughing and said:
"You just got home, why don't you accompany your parents to run to Grandpa?"
The old village chief said angrily.
"Grandpa the village chief, these are my two friends, Wang Xiaoyong and Qin Luan, they also want to come to see you. β
Qi Xin introduced with a smile.
"Hello to the village chief. β
The two said in unison.
"Haha... Hello, welcome to our small mountain village, please come to the house, it's cool outside. β
The old village chief said with a smile.
"Grandpa the village chief, you see that this is Qi Xin's filial piety to your old man. β
In order to find a sense of existence, Ergouzi shook the gift in his hand and said with a smile.
"Okay, good, grandpa saw it. β
The old village chief said with a smile.
A few people walked backwards into the house, the work in the stove was very prosperous, the room was unusually warm, and the old village chief said with a smile after entering the house;
"Sit down, I'll pour you some water to drink. β
After speaking, the old village chief came to the cabinet and grabbed a handful of flower tea, put it in a large tea jar, and directly picked up the kettle above the stove to put the boiling water into it.
The boiling water was poured into the tea jar, and the room was instantly fragrant, and Qin Luan was also shocked, living in the Qin family all these years, he had naturally tasted countless fragrant teas, but he had never drunk such fragrant tea.
The old village chief waited for the petals to bubble and came over, poured a cup of tea for each person, and said with a smile:
"We don't have any good tea here, this is the thorn rose I picked in the back mountain, and I put a few flowers in the water on weekdays just to drink a little taste of water.
After Wang Xiaoyong and Qin Luan thanked him, he took a sip gently, with a fresh fragrance and a slightly sweet taste, and a refreshing aftertaste in the throat.
"Grandpa the village chief, there should be a lot of these wildflowers in this mountain, right?"
Wang Xiaoyong asked with a slight smile after drinking.
Before the old village chief's grandfather could speak, the second dog preemptively said:
"We don't have any special products in this big mountain, but this thorn rose is all over the mountain, and if you come here in May, you can see the sea of thorn roses. β
After hearing this, the old village chief nodded slightly, and said approvingly:
"The dog is right, we don't have any special products in this mountain, but this thorn rose is all over the mountain. β
"This flower has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing inflammation and relieving cough, although it is not a precious medicinal material, but it should also be able to buy some money, why do people in the village pick it for money?"
As a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, Wang Xiaoyong naturally knew its efficacy, so he asked suspiciously.
"Little friend doesn't know, our village has a rainy summer, and every time the thorn rose is in full bloom, it is drizzling almost every day.
Every year, many villagers go to the mountains to pick in the rain, but they rarely dry it, and most of them will be moldy and rotten, so it is difficult to change money. β
The old village chief said helplessly, the villagers have also thought of a lot of methods, but unfortunately no one has worked, and in the end no one has tried again.
Wang Xiaoyong didn't expect this village to be a rainy area, which is generally related to the geographical location, plus the developed water system in this area.
"Then we can step on it and ship it out directly, and pull down the city and sell it directly, isn't it?"
Qin Luan also asked suspiciously.
"Sister Luan, do you know that the road we came from can be unimpeded in winter, because of the freezing relationship, this road has thirty kilometers of mud road in summer, and no car can enter, so it hinders the development of our village. β
Qi Xin said with a sigh.
"I see, no wonder your village will develop so slowly, it turns out that the road restricts the development of the villagers. β
Wang Xiaoyong suddenly realized and said with a smile.
"Over the years, other villages have been blessed, and our village is also very anxious, but I have searched the town and county many times, and they all say that the finances are tight and there is no money to build roads.
In addition, unlike other places, the water system is too developed and more than a dozen bridges need to be built, which also greatly increases the cost of road construction. β
The old village chief's grandfather lamented and said that his biggest dream over the years was to build a road for the village and lead the whole village to get rich, but decades have passed and this wish has not been realized.
"Qi Xin, you are engaged in design, can you estimate how much money will be invested in the construction of this 30-kilometer road?"
Wang Xiaoyong looked at Qi Xin, who looked lonely, and asked.
"Big brother, I made a budget for this when I was in school, because the soil here is special, and the cost is much higher than ordinary road maintenance, and it takes 2 million and 1 kilometers to bring the road together. β
Qi Xin said excitedly.
Wang Xiaoyong was also stunned after hearing this, according to this calculation, the total amount of funds will be at least 60 million, and this does not include special circumstances, it may also be higher than this number.
"This figure is really sky-high, no wonder the county can't come up with so much money. β
When the old village chief heard this, he also sighed and said.
"Grandpa the village chief, can you accompany us to the back mountain to have a look, I want to see how big the thorn rose is here.
If the area is large enough and the production is large enough, I can consider investing money in your village to build this road, but you must promise me one condition. β
Wang Xiaoyong smiled and looked at the old village chief and said.
The old village chief was shocked when he heard Wang Xiaoyong's words, even Qi Xin and Ergouzi also opened their mouths wide, and they couldn't believe what they heard.
