Chapter 660: The Second Dog is Gone
However, the preliminary investigation by the police did not find obvious traces of homicide, and the preliminary judgment was that the sudden death was caused by a heart attack. But this result did not eliminate the doubts of the villagers, especially those who were already suspicious of them, and even took this opportunity to make a big splash, which put Su Ye and Li Dazhuang in an unprecedented predicament.
In the face of the pressure of public opinion, Su Ye and Li Dazhuang did not flinch. They firmly believe that those who are clean will clean themselves, and decided to continue to promote the work of rural tourism and micro-loan funds, and prove their original intention with practical actions. However, Wang Ergou's death undoubtedly tore a rift within the village, and the villagers who had been united began to divide, with some people becoming more and more hostile to Su Ye and Li Dazhuang, and others still choosing to believe and support them although they were suspicious.
On this day, Su Ye was working alone in the fields, and a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him: "Su Ye, are you okay?" When she looked back, it was the third aunt. The third aunt walked over quickly, held Su Ye's hand, and her eyes were full of concern: "I know you are bitter in your heart, but you have to hold on. We believe in you and Da Zhuang."
Su Ye looked at the third aunt gratefully and smiled slightly: "Thank you, third aunt, we will persevere." As long as it is for the good of the villagers, we are not afraid of any big difficulties."
"That's good." The third aunt nodded, and lowered her voice again, "Actually, I've heard some gossip too. I thought, could I get a lawyer to explain the matter? That way, there won't be so many suspicions."
Su Ye thought for a moment and felt that this was a feasible solution. So she and Li Dazhuang hired an experienced lawyer to make public the report on the cause of Wang's death, their financial records, and the details of the income and expenditure of the rural tourism project. The lawyer also organized a public Q&A meeting, inviting villagers to participate and answer various questions.
At the Q&A meeting, the lawyer clearly explained the results of the police investigation, showing the source of Su Ye and Li Dazhuang's property and the distribution of profits from the rural tourism project, proving that they did not have any greed for ink. At the same time, they also expressed their grief over the death of Wang Ergou and their understanding of the doubts of the villagers, and promised to continue to stick to their original intentions and contribute to the development of the village.
After the Q&A meeting, the doubts on the faces of the villagers gradually dissipated, and many people stepped forward to apologize to Su Ye and Li Dazhuang, saying that they had been misled by rumors. The atmosphere in the village is gradually warming, and everyone is reunited to meet the challenges of the future.
Time passed in the morning and twilight of the countryside, and Su Ye and Li Dazhuang devoted themselves more to rural construction after the turmoil. They led the villagers to restore the farmland washed away by the flood, re-plan the layout of the farmhouse, and introduce a professional team to renovate and upgrade the farmhouse of Wang Ergou's family. At the same time, they further broaden the connotation of rural tourism, introducing diversified projects such as farming culture experience, parent-child picking activities, handicraft production courses, etc., to attract more urban tourists to enter the countryside and feel the charm of rural life.
"You see, this newly built observation deck has a wide view, and visitors can enjoy the most beautiful rural scenery of our village here." Li Dazhuang pointed to the wooden observation deck that had just been completed, and said to Su Ye excitedly. Not far away, the villagers are busy in the fields, a scene full of life.
"That's great, Great. After the renovation of the farmhouse is completed, it will become a must-visit place for tourists, and I believe it will greatly increase the traffic of Uncle Ergou's house." Su Ye nodded with satisfaction, his eyes flashing with anticipation.
At the same time, the Microcredit Fund continues to play its important role. Under the guidance of Su Ye and Li Dazhuang, the villagers began to try more innovative projects, such as the development of special agricultural products, the opening of rural homestays, and the holding of folk culture festivals, forming a complete rural tourism industry chain. The villagers' pockets gradually bulged, and the smiles returned to their faces.
One day, there was a crowd of people in front of the bulletin board at the entrance of the village, and the villagers were talking. It turned out that Su Ye and Li Dazhuang launched a "Village Star" selection activity, aiming to recognize villagers with outstanding performance in the development of rural tourism and encourage everyone to actively participate and innovate and forge ahead.
"Oh, you see, the third aunt's homestay has been nominated for the 'Best Service Award'!" An aunt said excitedly to the people around her.
"Of course, the third aunt is warm and attentive, and the last time I took my friends to stay, they were full of praise." Another villager chimed in.
"There is also a farmer's shop in Erzhuzi's family, I heard that sales have doubled, and the 'Most Potential Award' belongs to him." Someone added again.
"You see, Su Ye and Da Zhuang really worked hard for our village, and such activities not only inspired everyone, but also enhanced the popularity of our village." An old man was so emotional that everyone nodded in agreement.
On the day of the awards ceremony, the whole village was bustling with activity. The villagers dressed up in festive costumes, sang and danced to celebrate their glorious moments. When Su Ye and Li Dazhuang announced the list of winners, the applause was thunderous, and the winners excitedly walked up to the stage and received the trophy symbolizing honor, their eyes full of longing and expectation for the future.
"I would like to thank Su Ye, Da Zhuang, and the help of the Foundation for giving me the opportunity to realize my entrepreneurial dream." Erzhu held the trophy in his hand, facing the hundreds of villagers in the audience, his voice trembling slightly, but full of strength.
"Yes, without you, we wouldn't have the happy life we have today." The third aunt took over the conversation, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and looked at Su Ye and Li Dazhuang firmly, "We will continue to work hard to make our village's tourism industry better and better."
At this moment, Su Ye and Li Dazhuang stood in the center of the crowd, looking at the smiling faces of the villagers, and their hearts swelled with endless relief and pride. They know that this recognition and trust is the greatest motivation for them to move forward.
However, at this moment, an unfamiliar figure appeared in the crowd, he was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and his temperament was extraordinary. He walked straight up to Su Ye and Li Dazhuang and bowed deeply: "I am the person in charge of a tourism investment company in the provincial capital, and I have heard about your deeds for a long time, so I came here to seek cooperation."
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar. The villagers' eyes widened and they looked at the strange man in front of them in disbelief. Su Ye and Li Dazhuang were also stunned, and then exchanged a look of surprise.
"You mean you want to invest in our village's tourism?" Li Dazhuang confirmed.
The man nodded, "Yes. We believe that your successful model has high replication value, and we hope to work with you to jointly promote the development of rural tourism in the province and even the whole country."
Su Ye and Li Dazhuang glanced at each other, and a confident smile appeared on their faces. They know that this is not only an individual recognition, but also an affirmation of the entire village. They gladly accepted the intention of cooperation and promised to work with the investment company to pass on the flame of hope in the countryside to further places.
"Folks, our good days have just begun!" Su Ye raised the wine glass in his hand and announced it to everyone present. The wine in the glass sparkles in the sun, reflecting the bright smiles on everyone's faces, as if to herald a brighter future.
"Cheers to our shared dream!" Li Dazhuang followed closely with a toast, his voice loud and firm.
"Cheers!" The villagers responded in unison, and cheers resounded in the sky. At this moment, they are no longer isolated farmers, but rural dreamers with infinite possibilities. And all of this stems from Su Ye and Li Dazhuang's selfless dedication and persistent belief.
"Looks like we made the right choice." Su Ye said softly to Li Dazhuang, with tears shining in his eyes.
"Yes, Su Ye. As long as we move forward hand in hand, nothing can stop us from pursuing the light." Li Dazhuang held Su Ye's hand tightly, his eyes were full of expectations and longing for the future.
As night falls, the stars shine on the peaceful village. Su Ye and Li Dazhuang sat side by side in the small courtyard, looking at the bright starry sky, their hearts were full of confidence and determination for the future. They know that there may be wind and rain on the road ahead, but as long as they stick to their original intentions, the lives of the villagers will become brighter.
"Su Ye, do you think we can succeed?" Li Dazhuang asked softly.
Su Ye turned his head to look at him, his eyes flashing with incomparable determination: "Da Zhuang, I believe that as long as we go hand in hand, the lives of the villagers will definitely become brighter."
"I believe it too, Su Ye." Li Dazhuang held her hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts full of expectations and longing for the future. They understand that the road to changing their hometown will not be easy, but as long as they have faith and action, they will definitely brighten up the lives of their villagers and bring them new hope.
A few months later, Su Ye and Li Dazhuang were in the professional group
With the help of the team, the village has been successfully built into a tourist resort integrating natural scenery, agricultural experience and folk culture. They actively advertise on social media, attracting a large number of city tourists to come for vacation. The villagers have mastered the reception skills in the training, opened farmhouses, homestays, handicraft shops, etc., and their income has increased significantly, and their living conditions have improved significantly.
At the same time, the Microcredit Fund became operational. Under the guidance of professional mentors, relatives who are willing to start a business have submitted project applications, some have opened characteristic agricultural stores, some have set up small processing factories, and some have launched skills training schools. The fund not only provides start-up capital, but also organizes regular training courses to help them improve their management capabilities.
With the boom of rural tourism and the help of micro-loan funds, villages have shown unprecedented vitality. The dilapidated houses have been renovated, the idle land has been rationally utilized, the infrastructure in the village has been continuously improved, the children have a better learning environment, and the elderly have more comfortable conditions for the elderly.
The villagers were full of gratitude to Su Ye and Li Dazhuang, and they often talked about the young couple's kindness in the fields and streets, and their words were full of admiration and praise.
One day, Su Ye and Li Dazhuang met a middle-aged man who came to travel at the entrance of the village. When the man saw them, he stepped forward in surprise: "You are Su Ye and Li Dazhuang, right? I read your story on the Internet, and I really admire that you can give up the prosperity of the city and come back to help the villagers get rid of poverty and become rich. I think that's the real hero."
Su Ye and Li Dazhuang looked at each other and smiled, and responded modestly, "We just did what we were supposed to do. Seeing that the lives of the villagers are getting better and better, we feel that all the efforts are worth it."
The man nodded with emotion, "I am deeply touched by your deeds. If everyone who is capable can give back to society and help others like you, the world will definitely be a better place."
Their conversation attracted onlookers from the surrounding villagers and tourists, who gave a thumbs up and expressed their admiration and appreciation for Su Ye and Li Dazhuang's good deeds. This scene is like a harmonious and beautiful rural picture, which makes people feel the warmth and hope of the world.
However, just when everything seemed to be on track, a sudden natural disaster shattered the peace of the village. The flash flood washed away some farmland and houses, and had a serious impact on the production and life of the villagers.
In the face of the disaster, Su Ye and Li Dazhuang stepped forward again, they quickly organized a rescue team, led the villagers to save themselves, and actively contacted government departments and all walks of life to seek assistance. Thanks to their efforts, the disaster has been effectively controlled, the damaged farmland and houses have been rebuilt, and the affected villagers have been properly resettled.
After this disaster, the villagers admired Su Ye and Li Dazhuang even more. They sighed, "If it weren't for Su Ye and Li Dazhuang, we really don't know what to do. They are like our backbones, always stepping up at critical moments to lead us through difficult times."
In the golden autumn of October, the autumn is high and cool, and the village is filled with the joy of a good harvest. On this day, it was the day of grandma's 80th birthday, and Su Ye and Li Dazhuang began to get busy early, making full preparations for this birthday banquet that attracted the attention of the whole village.
In the early morning, Su Ye changed into a delicate cheongsam, and her long black hair was coiled into an elegant bun, looking gentle and dignified. Li Dazhuang was dressed in a straight tunic, and his eyebrows were full of confidence and joy. The two came to their grandmother's house hand in hand, only to see the lights in the courtyard, the festive red lanterns hung high, and the longevity word paper-cuts were pasted all over the doors and windows, creating a lively and peaceful atmosphere.
"Grandma, we're here to celebrate your birthday!" Su Ye smiled and took her grandmother's hand and gave her a carefully selected jade bracelet as a birthday gift. Grandma stroked the bracelet, and her wrinkled face bloomed with a satisfied smile: "Good boy, with you by your side, grandma's life is sweeter than honey."
At this time, relatives and friends from all walks of life arrived one after another, and laughter echoed in the small courtyard. However, in the corner, several relatives of the younger generation had gloomy faces and talked in low voices. Among them, Wang Ergou's son Wang Xiaohu was particularly conspicuous, he squinted at Su Ye and Li Dazhuang, his eyes were full of jealousy and provocation.
At the beginning of the luncheon, sumptuous dishes filled the long table, grandma sat in the main seat, and Su Ye and Li Dazhuang accompanied them respectively. During the banquet, everyone raised their glasses to wish their grandmother happiness such as the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan. Li Dazhuang got up
, raised his glass and bowed deeply to his grandmother: "Grandma, you have worked hard all your life, and now you are full of children and grandchildren, and you are a model for our younger generations to learn." Today, on behalf of all the younger generations, I would like to dedicate a poem to you to express our love for you."
Li Dazhuang recited affectionately in a strong voice: "The years are like a song of mother's grace, and the 80th birthday is always in spring. The rice is golden and spreads the earth, and the children and grandchildren are boundless in their knees. You are the key to wisdom that opens the voyage of our lives; You are the light that illuminates our path. I wish you a long and healthy life and happiness forever!"
After the poem, the audience burst into warm applause, and grandma was even more moved to tears. However, Wang Xiaohu said in a strange way at this moment: "Brother Da Zhuang is really talented, but why does this poem only mention rice, and not your family's farmhouse and good car? Are you afraid that our poor relatives will be blushing?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Su Ye glanced at Wang Xiaohu and replied quietly: "Xiaohu, the poems pay attention to artistic conception, and the rice symbolizes a good harvest and hope, which is a praise for grandma's hard work all her life. As for the farmhouse and the car, they are just accessories in life, how can they be compared with grandma's birthday?"
Wang Xiaohu was speechless by Su Ye's refutation, and his face was red and white.
