Chapter 745: Wonderland on Earth
Lin Fei opened the folding umbrella taken out of Xia Lan's leather bag, held it above the woman's head, and held the woman's waist with the other hand, staring at the town quietly.
Xia Lan snuggled in Lin Fei's arms, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's unbelievable that there is such a pure land in our east. β
Lin Fei swallowed his throat, "I hope this Pure Land will be preserved forever." β
When Lin Fei and Xia Lan stopped to concentrate, the woman had already cleaned the inside of the carriage, waved goodbye to the driver, and stepped out of the car. Looking at the backs of the two people, a light smile appeared on the woman's face, and she opened a folding umbrella and walked towards them, "How is it?" Isn't the view in the rain fascinating? β
Lin Fei and Xia Lan turned around, he smiled at the woman and said, "It's really beautiful, this place can be called a fairyland on earth." β
The woman stopped in front of the two of them, looked at the quiet town in front of her, and said softly, "This place remains as it is, thanks to an old man." β
"What old man?" Lin Fei asked.
"He's a respectable old man." When she said this, the woman's eyes were full of reverence, she looked at Lin Fei and Xia Lan and said, "You are from a big city, you should know something about him." β
Xia Lan and Lin Fei glanced at each other and said softly, "Sister, who is that old man?" β
"His surname is Xia, and he is the secretary of the nine southeastern provinces." The woman said.
Xia Lan's heart trembled, wasn't the old man the woman was talking about her father?
Lin Fei patted Xia Lan lightly and said to the woman: "We do know Secretary Xia, but we don't know what happened here and what he did for here." If we could, we'd like to hear from my sister. β
The woman nodded and said softly: "Many years ago, the city united with a large real estate company to develop this place into a tourist attraction and build some villas, hotels, resorts, and sanatoriums by the sea......
After hearing this news, all the residents of our town were resolutely opposed, but the city was very tough and tried to demolish the houses here.
To be honest, the common people have always been on the weak side. Although I was reluctant, I had no choice but to watch the engineering trucks drive here.
When everyone was desperate, Secretary Xia appeared, and after listening to the opinions of the people, he immediately called the city and severely criticized their wrong practices. Then he promised the people here that as long as he was in that position, as long as he was alive, this place would not be exploited.
If there were more good officials in the East like Secretary Xia, who could always put the interests of the people first, and Qing officials who could listen to the opinions of the people and not associate with black-hearted businessmen. What about the fairyland on earth in the East? β
Hearing the woman's words, Xia Lan was not happy, but even more sad, forced out a smile, and said, "Sister, in fact, there are many good officials in the East. Now that many people are aware of the dangers brought about by blind development, I think that even if Secretary Xia is gone, the qiΔ here can be maintained. β
"I hope so." The woman nodded and smiled, "Our people here wish Secretary Xia health, longevity, and peace every day......
At this moment, Lin Fei's stomach gurgled, he didn't feel embarrassed, and said to the woman: "Sister, there is no hotel here, and there should be no restaurant, so there will always be a small shop, right?" β
The woman pursed her lips and smiled, "Hungry, aren't you?" β
"Yes, I'm going to eat something first, and then I'll go to the Peony Hall." Lin Fei said truthfully.
The woman blinked and said, "We really don't have a restaurant here, but there are a few small shops. β
Xia Lan also heard the screams in Lin Fei's stomach, and she hoped that the man could eat earlier, "Sister, please give me some advice." β
The woman pointed not far away, "You see, there is a family there." β
Xia Lan hurriedly nodded in thanks, and pulled Lin Fei over there.
The woman shouted from behind, "Wait a minute. β
Lin Fei and Xia Lan stopped, and Xia Lan asked softly, "Sister, do you have something?" β
The woman walked up to them and explained, "I have helped bring back most of the goods in the small shops here, and they only sell some simple daily necessities, and rarely sell food. In particular, some convenience foods with additives have no market here at all. β
After listening to the woman's explanation, Xia Lan suddenly felt very lost and asked, "Don't you have anything to eat?" β
"Yes." The woman nodded and said with a smile: "For example, salt, sugar, some spices, rice and noodles and other things......"
"Huh?" Xia Lan frowned, pursed her lips and looked at Lin Fei.
Hearing what the woman said, and seeing her like this, Lin Fei's heart naturally had a bottom, and he smiled faintly, "Lan Lan, if you are not hungry, we will hold on, and there will be food when we get to the Peony Hall." β
"I'm not hungry." Xia Lan shook her head, looked at Lin Fei with a deep feeling, and said very distressedly: "But you ......"
"It's okay." Lin Fei smiled at the woman and said, "Sister, please show me how to get to the Peony Hall." β
"It's hard for you to go up until you're full." The female ** generously took Xia Lan's hand, "If you don't dislike it, come to my house to eat some coarse tea and light rice." β
"Thank you, sister." Without waiting for Xia Lan to nod, Lin Fei hurriedly said from the side, "I already knew that my sister would have this intention." β
The woman snickered, frowned and glanced at Lin Feidao: "Our family is all female dependents, and it will be inconvenient for you to go as a big man." So, I only invited this sister to dinner, and I didn't say I was going to take you there. β
Lin Fei waved his hand and smiled boldly: "It's okay, as long as I feed my wife, I am equally grateful." β
"Sister, thank you for your kindness, I'm not going either." Xia Lan let go of the woman's hand and grabbed Lin Fei's arm, "You sue us, how can we go to the Peony Hall." β
"You two are indeed in love." The woman smiled and nodded, took Xia Lan's hand again, and said to Lin Fei: "Let's go, take you with me!" β
"Then you're welcome." Lin Fei smiled at the woman and said secretly: Little young woman, I know you are doing this on purpose......
The three of them walked side by side, and whenever they met passers-by along the way, the women would stop a little and greet those people politely, and so did the passers-by. Here, the relationship between people is very harmonious......
Lin Fei did not forget to pay attention to the woman when he sighed at the simplicity of the people's customs, he glanced back, and Xia Lan's footprints could be vaguely seen on the way here, and the woman barely stepped on the traces.
Seeing that the woman's light work had reached such a perfect Cheng dΓΉ, Lin Fei's heart became extremely excited. Secretly said: The two women at the cocktail party, aren't they exactly the same as the women's light skills?
