Things in this world sometimes don't need much explanation.

Xia Jian didn't answer Zhao Hong's question directly, but sat up and said, "No! It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, we have to go over early to clear the snow, otherwise my parents will be angry."

"Good! Then you hurry up, I'll come back later, or I won't be gossiped about by the villagers" When Zhao Hong said this, she lowered her head a little shyly, after all, she is a woman.

Xia Jian looked at Zhao Hong, couldn't help but bow his head and kiss her on the face, and then hurriedly got dressed and went to the kang. The yard was already snow-white, and the goose-feather-like snow was falling, what a good bald head.

Xia Jian opened the door of Zhao Hong's house, glanced outside first, and then quietly walked out. The alley had been cleaned by the neighbors who had risen early, but now it was snow-white again.

When Xia Jian walked into the door, the Spring Festival Gala replayed on TV was ringing in the courtyard of his house. I had two drinks last night, and I didn't even bother to watch the party.

The smell of meat was already wafting out of the kitchen, and Sun Yuejuan was busy. Hearing the footsteps in the courtyard, Xia Zecheng shouted loudly: "Hurry up and go to the God of Wealth Temple to burn incense, and put two more firecrackers in the courtyard, there is no festive atmosphere at all for this New Year."

When Xia Jian heard this, he hurriedly complied. After setting off the firecrackers, he stepped on the snow and walked towards the Temple of Wealth. Although the snow was falling heavily, almost all the villagers got up. Some people were cleaning the lanes, and some people were the same as Xia Jian, so they hurried to the God of Wealth Temple. The new year has begun, and everyone wants to have a good bald head in the coming year.

When Xia Jian went up, the temple of the God of Wealth was already full of smoke and incense. He put on incense, then burned some gold dollar tickets, and then lit a large salute with him. A sound explosion means that the new year is about to start again.

Xia Jian stood halfway up the hill, looking at the entire Xiping Village from a distance, his heart was surging, it was really unbelievable. Xiping Village many years ago was not like this, and now the changes are really too great. There are really no Fabi in the surrounding villages.

When I think that in a few years, if the whole village was full of small two-story western-style buildings, it would be a different scene. Thinking of this, Xia Jian couldn't help but smile to himself.

"Mr. Xia! What about snow? A woman's beautiful voice came from behind her.

Xia Jianmeng turned around and found that the woman standing behind him turned out to be Xu Lihong brought by Wang Youcai. The woman was wearing a trench coat, her face was lightly powdered, and her small mouth was slightly lipstick, looking a little sexy.

"Oh! It's you! It's snowing so much, why don't you stay at home, what are you running here? Xia Jian glanced at Xu Lihong and asked softly.

Xu Lihong shook the hair on her forehead, smiled slightly, and said, "Their family drank too much last night, and they were still sleeping at this time, and I woke up, so I went out for a walk." Your village is really good, it seems to be developing quite fast."

"Hmmm! In this radius of ten miles, there should be no second one," Xia Jian said very confidently. Only then did he realize that he had been standing for a while, but the snow on his body had become white.

Xia Jian took two shots, but some of the snow had stuck to his clothes and he didn't shoot it for a while. Xu Lihong looked at it, walked over in two steps and said, "Come on!" I'll help you," the woman said, and very generously began to pat the snow on Xia Jian's body.

"Okay, it's okay, I should go back" Xia Jian dodged, and hurriedly walked towards home.

Xu Lihong looked at Xia Jianyuan's back and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She stood for a while, and then walked towards Wang Youcai's house.

When Xia Jian went back, Zhao Hong and Sun Yuejuan had already brought breakfast to the table, which was called a hearty meal. It can be said that not only the dishes are complete, but also there are a lot of chicken, duck and fish.

"This loser, bring all the good dishes, I have never eaten this table of dishes in my life" Xia Zecheng shook his head with emotion. Although he was talking about Sun Yuejuan in his mouth, he still wanted to say that this life was better.

Since it was almost ten o'clock, they ate quickly. But with so many dishes, the four of them couldn't eat them all. Xia Jian smiled and said, "Forget it!" If you can't finish eating, put it away, and then eat again in the evening."

Before his words fell, a deafening sound of firecrackers sounded outside the gate, Xia Jian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" It seems to be at the gate of our house."

Xia Zecheng smiled and said, "What are you doing in a daze?" Someone must have paid a greeting to our family" As soon as his words fell, he saw Chen Haiping, the village chief of Shuijing Village, walk in from the gate, followed by Chen Xiaolan and Wang Cuilan, two women, each of whom had a thick layer of snow on their bodies.

"Oops! Village Chief Chen! It's snowing so hard, why are you here? Xia Jian laughed and hurriedly greeted him. Chen Xiaolan glanced at Xia Jian, and a trace of indescribable joy flashed in her eyes.

Zhao Hong also stood up, hurriedly let the two women into the house, and then swept the snow off their bodies for them. Xia Zecheng laughed and pulled Chen Haiping to sit by the fire. Rural people are so kind and sincere, Sun Yuejuan was busy making tea for them.

"Oops! Big brother and sister-in-law! We are all our own people, so we don't have to be so polite. Because Mr. Xia's time is generally very tight, so a few of us will come to you early today to pay a New Year's greeting, and talk to Mr. Xia about something after the end, but I didn't expect it to snow heavily, so I can't go fast" Chen Haiping held hot tea in his hand and said with a smile.

Chen Xiaolan glanced at the table, and said to Xia Jian: "We left early, we haven't eaten breakfast yet, add a few pairs of chopsticks, everyone sit down, eat and chat, or the dishes on this table will be cold."

"That's not good, I have to make new ones for you, we have already started to eat these dishes" Sun Yuejuan laughed and began to clean up.

Chen Haiping stood up, stopped Sun Yuejuan and said, "Sister-in-law! I said that we are all our own families, so you don't need to be polite at all. So be it! Let's eat together, if it's over, it's not too late for you to stir-fry, but this table of dishes, can a few of us finish it?"

"That's fine! Jian'er, bring two bottles of the good wine you brought back, the weather is so cold, let's have a few drinks" Xia Zecheng was happy. There are friends from afar, and they are happy. What's more, this is for his son to come to pay New Year's greetings.

Several people sat down again, and Xia Jian opened the wine bottle and poured a glass for everyone. Sun Yuejuan smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to drink first, let them eat something first, otherwise they will get drunk easily."

When Zhao Hong heard this, she hurriedly greeted Chen Xiaolan and Wang Cuilan. Originally, they were all acquaintances, so everyone didn't think of them as outsiders, so they ate and drank slowly.

Xia Jian drank a little too much last night, and his stomach was still a little uncomfortable at this time, so he didn't dare to drink violently, so the wine went down slowly.

"Hey! Village Chief Chen, do you have any new ideas? "Xia Jian is a smart person, he knows that this Village Chief Chen has come to pay him New Year's greetings so early, and he must have something in his heart.

Sure enough, Xia Haiping smiled and said: "You are not only an investor in our village now, but also the honorary mayor of Pingyang Town, so you have to take care of the affairs of our village."

"Village Chief Chen! You're getting better at talking, you didn't seem to be very talkative before" Zhao Hong glanced at Xia Jian and said softly to Chen Haiping.

Chen Haiping shook his head and said: "Our Shuijing Village is in Pingyang Town, either the first to the last or the second-to-last, what face do you say I have to speak in front of you." But now it's different, the tap water enters the village, and the fruit industry base is also chosen in our village, seeing that a better day is coming, do you say I don't speak? ”

"It's good to have this good attitude, as long as you work hard, you won't have to worry about not having a good life. People talk about it first, didn't they say they wanted to talk to me about things? Today is a good opportunity," Xia Jian said, pouring the wine for Chen Haiping.

Chen Haiping breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The apple trees have settled in our Xiping Village, and the question now is which villagers who have not rented land before, come to me twice in three days and want to rent their land to you." Another question is, can you consider this pepper tree and share it with our Shuijing Village?"

"Oops! You're in such a hurry to speak. I'll tell you, our Shuijing Village wants to become the largest pepper planting village in Pingyang Town, you have to help us with this," Chen Xiaolan interrupted Chen Haiping's words and hurriedly said.

Xia Jian glanced at Chen Xiaolan and found that Chen Xiaolan, who had drunk a little from the hotel, was very good-looking, and there was a hint of charm between her eyebrows. He thought for a moment and said, "What kind of resources and conditions do you have, you tell me first."

"Our Shuijing Village has more than 200 acres of wasteland, but because these wastelands are far away from the village, no one has been cultivating them, but these lands are still from our Shuijing Village. The most important of these sites are at the foot of the mountains, and they are very sunny to the sun. I've checked, and the cultivation of peppercorns is the most suitable for such conditions," Chen Xiaolan said loudly to Xia Jian.

Xia Jian glanced at Zhao Hong and said, "It seems that you are really concerned about this matter." In fact, such a wasteland is the best to plant peppercorns, because the most feared thing on the top of the mountain is frost, if the climate is unstable in the spring, this year's peppercorns can be blind, but at the foot of the mountain, this situation is relatively rare."

"That's good, stinky boy, I know a lot about agriculture!" Xia Ze couldn't help but scold Xia Jian, his face was happy and proud. Sun Yuejuan's face also bloomed.

Chen Haiping hurriedly poured Xia Jian a glass of wine and said, "Mr. Xia! Whether we people in Xiping Village can get rid of poverty or not depends on you."

"Give us a chance, I want to do something in our Xiping Village, believe me!" Chen Xiaolan was extremely excited, she picked up her wine glass, touched it with Xia Jian, and was happy.

Xia Jian let out a long breath and said, "Okay! As soon as spring begins, you will first reclaim these wastelands for me and make them look like this. It's better to fix all the roads, I'll pass the inspection, and then we'll talk about the follow-up."

"Good! You can leave this matter to me," Chen Xiaolan said, patting her chest.

Chen Haiping glanced at Xia Jian and said: "I want Xiaolan to be the deputy head of Shuijing Village, she is educated, and she has a good brain, and the people in the village still respect her, do you think it's okay?" "Chen Haiping is really an honest person, asking Xia Jian such a question in front of Chen Xiaolan, do you think Xia Jian can disagree?

"Very good, I think it's good. After the New Year, you say hello to the town, and when it's over, you will go up! Anyway, I believe she is capable of doing well," Xia Jian smiled and glanced at Chen Xiaolan, who was a little flushed.

Sun Xiaolan took a long breath and glanced at Xia Jian gratefully.
