Considering that the time is not very abundant, and the dress of Zeng Ying's two daughters is not suitable for going deep into Xiaoqingshan, Liu Rui just took them to enjoy the sunset scenery nearby, and then watched the grand occasion of the tired birds returning to their nests.

Although the scenery is very ordinary, Liang Village, which has never been polluted by industry, still immerses Zeng Ying and her sisters. Perhaps, after getting used to seeing the reinforced concrete forest of high-rise buildings, it will have a different flavor when you look at these uncarved scenery.

After turning around, Liu Rui took the reluctant second daughter home and prepared to have dinner. At this time, Wang Huaguo and others also negotiated various details with Fu Juan on the contract for the supply of bamboo weaving, and went straight to Liu's house to participate in this ordinary dinner that was considered a celebration banquet.

After eating and drinking, when he saw that it was getting late, Liu Rui naturally didn't want to leave Zeng Ying and the others, so he let them drive away. Worried that they would not be able to catch the ferry after arriving at the ferry, Liu Rui also drove a motorcycle and took Zeng Ying and them to the ferry.

Here at Qingyun Ferry, few people usually cross the river at six o'clock, and the owners of the ferries naturally lock the boats, go home for dinner, and come to vigil after nine o'clock.

It's seven o'clock in the evening, and it's silent on the ferry, with only the stars in the sky reflecting on the river, creating a blurry beauty.

"Sister Ying, you wait for me here, I'll call someone!" After stopping the car at the dock, Liu Rui shouted to Zeng Ying: "Just wait in the car, I'll be back in a while." ”

"Go ahead!" Zeng Ying nodded, signaling to reassure Liu Rui.

The motorcycle turned around, and Liu Rui followed his memory and drove towards the home of the boat owner, Luo Laoqi.

Luo Laoqi is a person from Qingyun Town, the seventh in the family, known as Luo Laoqi, and over time people have forgotten his real name. In rural areas, such a situation is very common, and often many people's real names are unknown, but the nickname is quite loud.

Luo Lao's seven ancestors all relied on ferrying on the Xiaotong River to earn some money and worked hard, and in his generation, they still guarded the Qingyun Ferry. It's just that his tools for subsistence have been changed from the original Upong boat to the current diesel-powered barge.

The motorcycle turned into Qingyun Village on the edge of the Xiaotong River from the main road, causing the village watchdog to bark wildly, which was very lively. Qingyun Village is the location of Qingyun Town's political axe, because of Qingyun Old Street and political axe organs, the villagers here often have a sense of superiority.

They will always look down on people in Liangcun, Zhulinao and other villages, and think they are hillbillies, but they don't know that in the county seat, people regard all the people in Qingyun as countrymen. When he first came to the town to study in elementary school, Liu Rui was often bullied by some children in the town, and after several fights, the situation slowly improved.

It was at that time that Liu Rui met Wu Mingkai, and the friendship between the two lasted for a long time and got better and better.

Luo Laoqi's home is easy to find, the three-story building near the post and telecommunications office is it, and Liu Rui came to the door without much effort.

"Is Uncle Seven at home?" After turning off the motorcycle and parking it, Liu Rui stood at the door and shouted.

"Who?" A female voice came from the room and said, "Come in, your seventh uncle is eating." ”

"Aunt Seven, is the family dog on a leash?" Liu Rui stood at the door and asked cautiously.

"Hold on, come in." A plainly dressed middle-aged woman came out of the house, saw Liu Rui standing at the door, and shouted in surprise: "Xiao Rui, why are you here?" Quick, go in and have two drinks with your seventh uncle! ”

"Hehe, with my amount of alcohol, how dare I drink with Uncle Seven?" Liu Rui walked into the house with a smile and followed Aunt Qi into the patio.

In the patio, Luo Laoqi was sitting at the table, pouring himself a plate of pig's head meat, very comfortable.

"Xiao Rui is here, accompany Uncle Seven to have two drinks!" Seeing Liu Rui walk in, Luo Laoqi was very happy.

Speaking of which, Luo Laoqi's son Luo Jian is Wu Mingkai and Liu Rui's best playmate, so the relationship between Liu Rui and the Luo family is not unfamiliar. When Liu Jiahong was injured, the Luo family also lent a lot of money to the Liu family, and Liu Rui did not repay it until recently.

Luo Jian and Liu Rui went to high school together, and this year they were admitted to the Normal University in the provincial capital, which can be regarded as the first college student from the Luo family. In Uncle Luo's words, the ancestors of the Luo family have relied on the ferry for generations, and today there is finally one who eats the emperor's grain.

"I won't drink anymore and drive the car." Zeng Ying is waiting over there, where is Liu Rui in the mood to drink with Uncle Seven?

"Crossing the river?" Uncle Seven drank the cup in his hand and said, "Let's go, come back and continue!" ”

As soon as Uncle Seven saw Liu Rui's appearance, he knew that Liu Rui had to cross the river to find him. After all, the ferry has been open for decades, and most of the people who come to the door at this time have to cross the river.

Don't look at the old age of Uncle Seven, he is still resolute, put down the wine glass and went out with Liu Rui. Liu Rui also knows Uncle Seven's surname very well, and he is not too twisted.

"Xiao Rui, why are you crossing the river so late?" On the motorcycle, Uncle Seven asked.

"I didn't go there, but a few friends drove back a little late." Liu Rui replied as he started the motorcycle.

The seventh uncle, who was sitting on the back of the motorcycle, looked at Liu Rui's increasingly broad shoulders, and felt a little emotional, the little boy who often came to the house to eat at the beginning has also grown into a man. When Liu Rui dropped out of school and went home to farm, he was also embarrassed, thinking that this was a huge loss.

However, in this world, the story of twists and turns and bright flowers is always playing. In just half a year, Liu Rui has become the most famous rich expert in Liangcun and even the entire Qingyun Town, and his fame has skyrocketed.

During this period of time, the seventh uncle who ferried could see the small truck of 'South Beauty' crossing the river full of vegetables from the Liu family every day, and he could probably know the daily income of the Liu family. After secretly thinking about it, Uncle Seven suddenly found that the Liu family's monthly income was at least more than 10,000 yuan, which had left most of Qingyun's families far behind.

Seeing that Liu Rui's farming has also achieved certain results, to be honest, Uncle Seven is happy from the bottom of his heart, after all, Liu Rui often went in and out of the Luo family when he was in elementary school, and Uncle Seven even had the idea of taking Liu Rui as his godson.

The roads in Qingyun Village were in good condition, most of them were hardened, and Liu Rui drove the car and soon returned to the dock.

When he arrived at the pier, Uncle Seven jumped on the boat, put down the pedals, and asked Zeng Ying to drive the car onto the ferry, and then started the diesel engine and crossed the river.

The sound of the diesel engine pierced the silence of the Xiaotong River, and under the starlight, the ferry broke the calm river surface, creating ripples and spreading outward. Looking at the slowly moving ferry, Liu Rui thought to himself, he didn't know when Qingyun would be able to repair the bridge, in that case, it would greatly accelerate the development of Qingyun.

Liu Rui was not in a hurry to go home, he had some ideas in his heart, he wanted to communicate with Uncle Seven, and take this opportunity to talk about it, so as not to forget it later.

Because the ferry didn't have to wait for passengers, after arriving at the other side, Uncle Seven drove the boat back, and the whole process was only fifteen minutes.

"Hey, Rui, are you still there?" When Uncle Seven berthed the boat, he found that Liu Rui was still on the dock after going ashore.

"I have nothing to do when I go back, I just have something to talk to Uncle Seven." Liu Rui thought about it, but he went straight to the point.

"Tell me what you want." Uncle Seven knew that Liu Rui was a very assertive child, and he would definitely not be untargeted.

"Recently, our Xiaoqingshan is going to be planned into a nature reserve, Seventh Uncle, have you heard about it?" Liu Rui organized it in his heart and continued: "After the establishment of the reserve, large-scale tourism development will be carried out on Xiaojing Lake, and those investors who came to inspect just now are the investors. ”

"How could I not have heard of this uproar?" Uncle Seven nodded, and said with a little envy: "You Liang Village is close to the water, and the benefits are definitely indispensable!" ”

"In the future, if it is a scenic spot development, you can also participate in it!" Liu Rui said lightly: "At that time, there will be a lot of cruise ships on Xiaojing Lake, if you can get the relevant license and invest in cruise ships, it will also be a hen that can lay golden eggs." ”

After this period of observation and analysis, Liu Rui knows that the future development prospects of Xiaojinghu are limitless, and if you want to invest, you must invest as soon as possible. Faced with such an opportunity, Liu Rui naturally couldn't swallow it alone, and he began to mobilize his relatives and friends around him to tell them about the prospects of Xiaojinghu, so that they could make some decisions in advance. Today's talk to Uncle Seven about this matter is also based on this consideration, of course, but Liu Rui only provides information, and others have to make their own decisions.

"Investing in a cruise ship?" Suddenly hearing such news, Uncle Seven was still a little overwhelmed.

In fact, our ancestors have been ferrying in Qingyun Ferry for generations, and our blood has already been integrated into the mountains and rivers here. Moreover, cruise ships are an unfamiliar field for Uncle Seven, and he doesn't know much about it, so he doesn't dare to agree easily.

"You can still operate the ferry, in the future, tourists in and out of Xiaoqingshan will have to go through the ferry, and the business will be better at that time, at most you can hire a worker to help you drive the boat." Liu Rui knew what Uncle Qi was thinking, and said: "As for the matter of investing in cruise ships, you should understand it first, and then let Luo Jian check the information when you go back, and then decide." ”

Liu Rui knew that it was unrealistic to make Uncle Seven give up the ferry business, he was just depicting some prospects of Xiaojinghu, and it was not within his control whether to listen or not.

"Xiao Rui, will you invest?" At this time, Uncle Seven suddenly asked.

"I'm definitely going to invest in one, and when the time comes, please ask Uncle Seven to help me drive the boat!" Liu Rui secretly thought, Jiang is still old and spicy, and Uncle Seven understood his thoughts in a blink of an eye.

"Well, there's no problem with that!" Uncle Seven nodded and said, "As for investing in a new cruise ship, I still have to think about it carefully." ”

When the matter came to this, Liu Rui had already achieved his goal, so he didn't say more, returned to Luo's house with Uncle Seven, and finally drank two cups with Uncle Seven.

Drinking home-brewed rice wine in other people's homes, Liu Rui felt a very wonderful feeling.
