Dongmen, a village or the hometown of Liu Yong.

The house is an old red brick structure where Zhou Xiuying is currently slaughtering chickens in front of it.

Zhou Xiuying was filled with joy today as her son and daughter returned home. The presence of her children made her feel complete and overjoyed.

Immediately upon their arrival, Zhou Xiuying sprang into action and busied herself with preparations for a special meal.

She ventured into town to procure fresh fish for the dish, carefully weighing the meat to ensure it was of the highest quality.

Her culinary ambitions did not end there, as she then proceeded to slaughter a chicken to incorporate it into the meal.

Just as the free-range chickens that I raised are almost ready to be cooked, a middle-aged man walks past the door as I am about to head back to the kitchen to chop them up and stew them in a sand pot.

The person walking past the door is Liu Jianping, the head of Dongmen Village.

"Sister-in-law, how about killing chickens?"

Zhou Xiuying happily replied:

"My son and daughter will be back soon."

"Oh, the university is already on summer vacation."

Liu Jianping said:

After exchanging a few words, as usual, Zhou Xiuying noticed that Liu Jianping appeared downcast and inquired,

"Big brother, are you still troubled by the road construction issue?"

"That's right, there is still a shortfall of 300,000."

Three hundred thousand is not a small amount for Dongmen Village.

The concrete road that leads to the village was built more than a decade ago as part of a project that aimed to connect different villages.

Despite its construction being a significant development at the time, the road has now become a source of inconvenience due to its narrowed state.

It can only accommodate a single car at a time, making it difficult for drivers to navigate the road whenever another car approaches from the opposite direction.

The village, in agreement with the majority of its residents, has decided to expand the road and construct a two-lane cement road.

The above allocated a part of the funds, and the villagers raised part of the money, but there was still a shortfall of about 300,000.

Liu Jianping intends to go to the town to pursue the matter, despite knowing the chances of success are slim.

At that moment, the sound of firecrackers could be heard in the distance, accompanied by a great deal of excitement.

Zhou Xiuying didn't know what was going on, so she stood up and looked around.

"Fugui's son bought a new car. I heard that it costs more than 100,000 yuan. I'll go and have a look."

Liu Jianping said

The entrance to Liu Fugui's house was bustling with activity, with a crowd gathered around a brand-new car parked in the open space.

Liu Fugui had a flush of excitement on his face as he distributed wedding candies and cigarettes to the people nearby him.

His son Liu Wu is very proud and has a lot of faces.

"Tsk tsk, this car is not bad."

"I heard it cost more than 100,000 yuan."

"This is our first private car in Dongmen Village."

Some people bought a car before, but it was either a van or a truck for transportation. In the eyes of many people, this was the first private car.

.....

Liu Yong had taken a detour from the highway, driving through a nearby town and drawing the attention of many locals.

In particular, his driving had caught the eye of several young individuals who were still in the process of learning to drive.

Liu Yong's driving was a source of fascination for these young drivers, who were captivated by his skill and expertise behind the wheel.

"Ah, that's a big G worth more than a million dollars."

"It's rare to see it in our countryside, and it's been a long time since I saw a car in this class."

Liu Lan reminded softly:

"Brother, our car is so eye-catching. Many people are chasing after it."

After passing through the town and driving a few kilometers, we turned onto a cement road that led to Dongmen Village.

historical

Dongmen Village is not far ahead, and we will be home soon.

"Brother, we are finally home. It is so convenient to have our car."

"It's just that this road is in a terrible condition. Even though made of cement, some parts are already deteriorating. The main issue is its narrowness. If a car approaches from the opposite direction, it could be a major problem,"

remarked Liu Lan, referring to the road.

Within a few minutes, they arrived at the entrance of Dongmen Village, where a massive camphor tree stood that required two people to embrace it. Many individuals were relaxing in the shade beneath the tree.

Almost everyone has noticed the big G driving towards the village.

"Look, a car is coming."

"Does this car look good?"

Most of the villagers didn't recognize this big G, but some people still recognized what kind of car it was.

"Of course not bad, this is Big G, at least it costs more than one million."

What!

so expensive!

More than one million is an unattainable astronomical figure in the eyes of the villagers.

Many people gasped.

.....

To everyone's surprise, the car stopped after driving over.

The villagers thought the driver was some foreigner who is visiting their village.

Soon, everyone got surprised!

As Liu Yong stepped out of the car holding a box of Zhonghua cigarettes, the villagers noticed his warm and enthusiastic demeanor as he greeted everyone while smoking a cigarette.

"Welcome back here. Please enjoy the shade here"

"My God!"

It was Liu Yong. Could it be possible that he had returned after achieving great wealth outside the village?

Liu Yong drove into the village, but most of the people had not yet realized it and were staring blankly as the car entered the village.

"Just now this is Liu Yong from the Hongfu family."

"It looks like he made a fortune."

As Liu Yong drove into the village, he made a point to glance at Liu Fugui's house. A car had parked in front of the house, and firecracker remnants littered the ground.

It seemed that Liu Fugui had purchased a new one and was celebrating its arrival.

There are quite a few people here, and they quickly noticed the car.

"Who is this, what an awesome, big G with over one million dollars."

"It seems to be Liu Yong."

"It's really Liu Yong!"

This time, Liu Yong did not stop the car but drove past Liu Fugui's house and continued towards his own house.

Zhou Xiuying just stewed the slaughtered chicken on the fire, and said to Liu Hongfu,

"Bosses, Xiaoyong and Xiaolan should be back soon."

"It shouldn't be so fast, maybe we have to wait a while."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was movement outside the door, and Zhou Xiuying exclaimed happily,

"It must be Xiaoyong and the others who have come back!"

After finishing speaking, she hurriedly walked outside. At this moment, Liu Yong just got off the car.

"Xiaoyong, Xiaolan, you are back, come in quickly."

Liu Yong called Dad and Mom.

"Brother bought few things, let's move into the house first."

Liu Lan said in a delightful tone.

Liu Yong opened the trunk and took down the tobacco, alcohol, candy, and other things, as well as brand-new leather shoes, clothes, etc.

Liu Hongfu is turning around the car, looking left and right.

He knew that Liu Yong had bought a car, and Liu Lan had mentioned it on the phone, but he didn't know what kind of car it was.

"The head of the house, don't just stand there, come and help us move things,"

Liu Yong said: "I'll come, I'll do it."

Looking around the car twice, Liu Hongfu said,

"Xiaoyong, I think the car is pretty good, at least one hundred or two hundred thousand."

Liu Hongfu was surprised and shook his head slightly when he heard that the cost was indeed two to three hundred thousand.

Without saying a word, Liu Yong smiled and began to move items into his home one by one, such as boxes of Moutai, several packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, large bags of candies, new clothes, new shoes, and more.

After all the belongings were moved into the house and the car door was closed, the family was ready to enter when a large group of people arrived.

It was all people from the village. After a while, many people gathered in front of the house, which was very lively.

Zhou Xiuying promptly reminded the head of the household that Xiaoyong had purchased cigarettes and candies and urged them to come out and entertain the arriving guests.

"Ok."

Liu Hongfu immediately went into the house to get things, Zhou Xiuying also moved out stools for everyone to sit on, and Liu Yong also moved out a table for candy and other things.
