Just after the New Year holiday, the flow of people in Jiangnan City suddenly increased.

As the population flows into the city, every time around the Lantern Festival, it is the busiest time for the major stations.

Many malls and stores are seeing the first wave of shopping after the year.

Due to the ban on fireworks and firecrackers emissions in Jiangnan City, and during the Chinese New Year, the working group strictly controlled the major blocks.

Therefore, the air index of Jiangnan City during the Chinese New Year holiday has been in an excellent state.

But it also lacks a strong New Year's flavor......

Gu Chen didn't rest much during the Spring Festival holiday, but saved up the holiday time together, and after the Lantern Festival, he accompanied his parents to travel to other places.

Seeing that there was only one day left before the holiday, when Gu Chen drove to Dahe Town on the outskirts of Jiangnan City, it was already 5:20 p.m.

Now there are two options in front of you, continue to drive for more than an hour, rush on the congested roads, drive all the way home, and move back to dinner.

Another option is to stay in Big River, and after a round of Big River the next day, go home after lunch.

And the family was surprisingly consistent in the way they chose the question, and everyone chose the latter.

"Son. Xiao Xiaofang lowered the passenger window, feeling the fresh air, while also admiring the beautiful scenery of Dahe Town, and said with a smile: "When this place first started the tourist resort project, it was a sea of people. ”

"Look at it now, tsk, it feels like it's getting worse day by day, and it feels like tourists don't come here much. ”

"It's not about vicious competition and stealing customers. Gu Chen said.

After all, many media in Jiangnan City have also reported that Dahe Town has accelerated the construction of tourist resort projects while making use of its own scenic characteristics.

However, due to deviations in the implementation of the plan, in addition to the group's resort projects, many natural villages in Dahe Town have also followed suit and started their own resort plans.

For a time, all kinds of resorts are opening more and more, vicious competition and price wars, which indeed make many tourists get benefits.

Therefore, for a considerable period of time in the previous years, the town of Big River was synonymous with tourism and leisure.

However, while the constant vicious competition and crazy concessions, although tourists have benefited, various problems have also begun to be exposed.

Resort projects between the various natural villages began to lose money, and many projects could not be implemented.

As a result, the travel and vacation experience is poor, the experience standard is not met, and some items are reduced.

Later, the grouped tourist resorts took advantage of capital to integrate many natural village tourism and vacation projects, and began to form a local monopoly.

A few companies specializing in resort projects have the right to speak, so resort prices have been rising, and many places have begun to close their tickets.

Although in the short term, the capital is making a lot of money, but the subsequent wave of tourists is also gradually occurring.

Coupled with the continuous increase of various tourism experience projects in Jiangnan City in recent years, the resource advantage of tourist resorts in Dahe Town no longer exists.

Capital could not make money, so they began to withdraw their capital.

And now in Dahe Town, all kinds of sightseeing and tourism resort projects have also been stranded, and they have declined with the changes of the times.

Colorful farm hotels, which were originally built for tourism, have also begun to be rented out at very low prices due to the loss of tourists.

The reason why Xiao Xiaofang chose to come here is also with the mentality of picking up leaks, because now traveling to Dahe Town is purely worth the money, and you can experience an unusual experience with very little money.

Gu Baichuan looked all the way, and finally shouted at the door of several farmhouse hotels with colorful windmills: "Son, let's live here, it looks good." ”

"Listen to you. Gu Chen doesn't care much about the choice, as long as his father and mother like it, it is his choice.

So Gu Chen turned the car right and parked in the courtyard of a farmhouse hotel.

This side is made up of eighteen individual windmill houses, each of which has a different color.

At a glance, the various colors give people a pleasing feeling, and it is no wonder that Gu Baichuan will be attracted to this hotel.

After getting off the bus, the trio made their way to the Visitor Hospitality Center, a larger windmill house.

At this moment, the hall was empty, Gu Chen walked to the front desk and called twice, but no one answered.

At this time, Gu Chen found that above the front desk, there was a reminder sign of "Something to call for", with the boss's contact number on it.

"Dad, I see that there is no one here, are you sure you want to live here?" Gu Chen looked at Gu Baichuan and couldn't help but ask him.

"Of course. Gu Baichuan walked to Gu Chen's side, put his right hand on his son's shoulder and said, "Looking at it along the way, I feel that the buildings here have some characteristics. ”

"There are fewer people, but there's nothing wrong with being quiet, right? ”

Glancing at the sign on the table, Gu Baichuan suddenly smiled and said, "Isn't it just that there is no one at the front desk?" I can also see that the business is not very good, and I can cut a good price later." ”

Also looking at Gu Baichuan's confident appearance, Xiao Xiaofang walked back and forth in the hall twice and asked, "I'm my husband, so how much do you think it costs to stay in this kind of place for a night?"

"This ......" Gu Baichuan looked out the window, although the windmill houses here are small, they are all single-family, and it is estimated that they will also open a house.

Looking at the various promotional posters posted on the wall, Gu Baichuan probably knew that a windmill house was probably designed to look like a two-bedroom apartment, which could just meet the needs of a family.

But because the price card has long been removed, Gu Baichuan guessed: "It is likely to cost more than 1,000 to live in such a windmill house for one night, but now looking at his business, it is not too good, I estimate that it is okay to cut seven or eight hundred, and if it is not good, it is estimated that it can be agreed to six hundred." ”

"If 600 can open a windmill house, it will be really cheap. As soon as Xiao Xiaofang heard Gu Baichuan's answer, she suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu that she had really missed something.

However, looking at the picture decoration, it is estimated that the windmill house for 601 nights is likely to be a fool's dream, so Xiao Xiaofang didn't take it seriously.

Gu Chen said with a smile: "Then if you are sure to stay, I will call the boss, are you sure? Anyway, I'll pay for it." ”

Gu Chen has never had a chance to spend his money, so he also wants to honor his parents and spend the money he earns by the way.

After Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang looked at each other, they both nodded.

"Then let's fight. Gu Baichuan said.

Xiao Xiaofang also smiled and said: "It's better to give birth to a son and be filial." ”

Under the various beeps of the two, Gu Chen took out the phone directly, and dialed the shopkeeper's phone according to the prompt sign on the front desk.

"Who are you?" It didn't take long for a pale and weak voice to come, and listening to the accent, Gu Chen could probably tell that this was an old lady of sixty or seventy years old.

"Hello, it's ......" Gu Chen looked up at the background poster, and then said, "Is it the Big Windmill Resort Hotel?"

"yes, what's wrong?" asked the old lady on the phone again.

Gu Chen couldn't laugh or cry a little, and said in his heart that you didn't know what was going on when you opened a store, and I felt a little curious, so I said again: "We live in a store." ”

"Live...... The old lady was visibly stunned for a moment, and after a moment she said, "Oh, then you wait a few minutes, and I'll come over immediately." ”

"Good. Gu Chen readily agreed, so he hung up the phone.

Follow my parents and walk back and forth in the lobby of the tourist reception center of the Big Windmill Resort Hotel to pass the time.

After about five or six minutes, I heard a squeak of brakes at the door, and an old lady wearing a thick cotton jacket parked the battery car and walked into the hall slowly.

After glancing at Gu Chen's family, she walked directly to the front desk: "You guys are going to open a windmill house, right?"

"That's right. Gu Baichuan stepped forward first and asked, "How much does it cost to open a windmill house?"

"Give two hundred and five. The old lady said casually.

When they heard "two hundred and five", Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang were momentarily stunned, thinking that they had heard it wrong.

Such a good windmill house, only two hundred and five a night?

Such a cheap suite is completely beyond imagination, right?

Gu Baichuan couldn't believe it, so he asked again, "How much do you say?"

"Two hundred and five?" As soon as the old lady raised her head, she instantly felt that something was wrong, so she changed her words again: "Oh, two hundred and five is not good, so it's better to give two hundred." ”

Gu Baichuan: "......"

Xiao Xiaofang: "......"

Two hundred and five become two hundred, the quotation is like playing, is there such a casual one?

Both of them were happy in their hearts, and they said that they had heard that the tourism industry in Dahe Town was in a depression and the prices were very low, but they didn't expect it to be so cheap.

Compared with a few hundred dollars for a room in the city, this kind of windmill suite is simply the conscience of the industry.

Living here, Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang feel as if they don't want money, and they don't want it.

But this kind of joy can't be too expressed, for fear that the actual suite will not meet this standard, so Gu Baichuan asked with doubts: "This windmill house, is it like the one on the poster on the wall? ”

"It's the same. The old lady sat down on the chair and put her hands into the pockets of her padded jacket: "What the picture is, what is it inside." ”

"That's good. Xiao Xiaofang also looked at Gu Chen with satisfaction after receiving the reply.

Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and prepared to pay, "Where is the payment code?"

"You mean QR codes?" said the old lady.

Gu Chen nodded: "That's right." ”

"I can't play with that thing, you can just pay in cash. "The old lady felt a little troublesome.

Gu Chen also smiled and took back his mobile phone, directly took out his wallet and said, "That's okay, I'll give you cash." ”

After handing over the two Grandpa Mao, Gu Chen asked again, "Don't you need any deposit?"

"Deposit?" The old lady was stunned for a moment, then patted her head and said, "Look at my memory, then you can just give some of it." ”

"Is it so casual?" Gu Chen felt that the old lady was a little interesting, and even wondered if this windmill hotel was in her charge?

Don't have the phone contact cards on this table, they were all put up by the old lady herself, if that's the case, it would be embarrassing.

However, after Gu Chen took out a Grandpa Mao again and handed it to the old lady as a deposit, the old lady directly took out a key from the pocket of the padded jacket and said, "No. 11 windmill room, you can live there tonight." ”

"What about the bills?" Gu Chen felt still unsure.

The old lady waved her hand and said: "We don't know how to write, it's troublesome to write this thing, and there are not many people here, just go in and live directly, when you want to check out tomorrow, it's good to have a big phone number, I live in a nearby village." ”

"That'...... That's fine. Seeing that the old lady was an easy-going person, Gu Chen didn't ask for too much.

Coming to the trunk of the vehicle, after Gu Chen took down all the luggage of his family, he walked to the gate of the No. 11 windmill room together.

And along the way, Gu Chen found that many windmill houses were inhabited, which was completely different from what the old lady said.

But when Gu Chen looked at the tourist distribution center again, the old lady had already tied her head into a dumpling with a scarf and left on a battery car.

"It's kind of interesting. Gu Chen couldn't help but shake his head and opened the door of the windmill room with the key.

Suddenly, the luxurious decoration inside was instantly refreshing.

The two-bedroom family layout is warm and elegant, and all kinds of furniture are also fully furnished.

The living room has a sofa, a color TV, a coffee table and a bookshelf, giving people a vacation-like enjoyment.

The guest rooms are divided into large rooms and small rooms, which are also finely decorated and have all kinds of furniture.

And the most commendable thing is that there is a kitchen and a bathroom in two bedrooms and a living room, and the kitchen can be cooked, which is completely the layout of the home.

Although the building with the spire, with the windmill structure, does give people a refreshing feeling, and the windmill is driven by the wind and can rotate slowly.

"OMG!" The various experiences were so real, Xiao Xiaofang was surprised and directly burst into English.

She hurriedly asked Gu Chen and Gu Baichuan: "Son, husband, I see that the village is not far from us, why don't we go over and buy some dinner?"

"Yes. Gu Baichuan had no opinion, so he agreed directly.

Gu Chen waved his hand: "I don't need to go with the whole family, I'll stay here." ”

"That's fine. Xiao Xiaofang nodded and said with a smile: "My son is driving for a day and is tired, so my son will stay here, and I will go shopping with your father." ”

"Okay. After Gu Chen replied, he lay down on the sofa and rested for a while.

After his parents left, Gu Chen first turned on the TV and watched the basketball game for a while.

During the interstitial advertisement, Gu Chen heard some movement outside, so he got up and opened the door, and found that there were several children playing badminton on the lawn outside.

Nearby, several adults passed by, carrying some freshly bought fruits and vegetables, and one of the women was carrying a bucket of cooking oil in her hand.

"Are these people permanently stationed here?" Gu Chen frowned, feeling a little interesting.

Because I found out before, on the lawn in the backyard of the windmill house, there are people who erect wooden frames to dry clothes, so I feel that the windmill house here will not be uninhabited.

Also watching a few children play badminton skillfully, Gu Chen walked out of the room directly and came to this group of children to observe as a live audience.

Everyone saw that Gu Chen was an unfamiliar face, but they didn't pay much attention to it and continued to play.

At this time, a middle-aged woman with a thin figure happened to walk in from the periphery of the courtyard.

It was also because there were too many things that the thin bag was instantly broken, and a few red apples rolled directly to the ground in the direction of the break.

One of them happened to roll at Gu Chen's feet......

Gu Chen bowed down, picked up the apples on the lawn for her, and handed it to her with one hand: "Sister, give it." ”

"Thank you, young man. The middle-aged woman also glanced at Gu Chen, and couldn't help but smile and said.

Seeing that Gu Chen was an unfamiliar face, the middle-aged woman asked curiously, "Are you a new tenant who has moved here?"

"Tenant?" Gu Chen hadn't gotten used to this kind of title for a while, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Isn't this a hotel?" ”

"Oooh. While the middle-aged woman was excited, she suddenly felt a little regretful, and whispered: "I thought you were a new neighbor who moved here?"

"Have you been renting here?" Gu Chen also felt that this place was a bit strange before, and he was just able to find someone to talk to, so he asked more.

The middle-aged woman nodded: "Yes, this side used to be a resort hotel, but then the tourism industry was depressed, and there were fewer people, and the big windmill hotel here also began to rent out the house." ”

"Because it's cheap, I rented one. Looking at the surrounding windmill houses, the woman said: "Look at these buildings here, and those over there, there are basically people renting them, and there are still three or four buildings here that have not been rented out, for some tourists to live." ”

Looking at Gu Chen's casual appearance, the middle-aged woman smiled and said, "You should be a tourist, right?"

"yes. Gu Chen nodded and said with a smile: "But my family lives in Jiangnan City, and today I came back from a trip just now, and it was getting late." ”

"It just so happens that the family is also tired, if you go back to the city, you will definitely have to block the road again, so I just come here to live first, and I can travel in Dahe Town tomorrow by the way." ”

"It's good. The middle-aged woman stroked her long hair and nodded with a smile.

Gu Chen asked, "You're a foreigner, right? ”

"Yes, my family is from the Southwest. The woman suddenly sighed, shook her head and said, "I divorced my husband and came to Jiangnan City with a few children, I feel that the climate and economy here are good, so I want to settle here." ”

"Then where do you work?" Gu Chen asked again in curiosity.

"A supermarket in the town of Big River. The middle-aged woman said: "After all, with a few children, I just came to Jiangnan City, and I am not very familiar with this side, and I am alone with a few children." ”

"I was afraid that if I lived in the city, the children would be easy to get lost, so I moved to Dahe Town with a few fellow villagers. ”

"I happened to find that the house here is cheap to rent, so I rented the house here with a few fellows, and I have been moving here for almost half a year, and I am very used to living here. ”

"Oooh. Gu Chen nodded, and said with a smile: "It's not easy for you to carry a few children alone, it should be quite hard, right?"

The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just that a few young ones are a little noisy, and a few who are in elementary school are okay, basically just like that, I just want a new start." ”

......
