Reborn King of Marketing

Going around a reed swamp from the edge of the lake, a small peninsula emerged deep into the lake.

Rows of houses, roosters crowing and dogs barking, coupled with the misty smoke from cooking stoves and farmers returning home at dusk, make it look like a meticulous painting of a paradise.

"Here we are, this is our Baihua Village!" Brother Zhao pointed at the peninsula and said with a smile.

Along the way, Zhang Xuebing had already learned the details of the three little girls who were new to the world in just a few words.

The three people named Hua are biological sisters. The tallest one is the second one, named Zhaodi.

The fatter one is the third child, named Xiangdi.

The shortest one is the fourth sister named Niandi.

They also have an eldest sister named Lai Di who is in high school this year.

Don't think it's strange. In rural areas, if there are no boys in the family, the girls born will usually be given this name. This is because the elders have the obsession to have a boy to carry on the family line.

This kind of obsession is not unusual. Even in big cities thirty years later, there are still many people there, not a minority.

There are many people with the surname Hua in the village opposite. It was originally called Huajia Village. It was later named Baihua Village by a Jinshi from the village a hundred years ago. It sounds very poetic and appropriate.

Baihua Village is built near the water, with mountains at its back. You can collect lotus, dig lotus roots, and fish below, and you can farm, hunt, and collect herbs above.

Coupled with the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, and flowers all year round, it looks like a paradise in the world.

Zhang Xuebing couldn't help but secretly sigh, God is so unfair. If Zhangjia Village was built here, why would the people in the village have to live so hard? Maybe a few talents could be produced in hundreds of years.

Nian Di is the youngest and the most talkative. She has never been idle along the way. She revealed most of the situation in the village.

With such an innocent girl, it can be imagined that the villagers in this village must also be very simple and down-to-earth.

"Hey, Zhang Xuebing, please stop lying when you enter the village. Brother and sister, do you think we have never seen anyone who escaped from marriage? There are several couples in our village, but we still can't find them!" Niandi said in a loud voice.

He kept looking at Zhang Xuebing with his white eyes.

"Yes, it must be true. I felt ashamed, so I said that. I didn't mean to lie!" Zhang Xuebing raised his hands in a surrender gesture and explained again and again.

As everyone walked across the narrow land, the front gradually widened, and several tall stone archways appeared in front, blocking the entrance to the village.

This kind of archway generally has two functions, one is to reward, and the other is to show filial piety. For example, if someone in the village becomes a Jinshi, or there is a chaste woman and a martyr, the local government will allocate funds to build one.

It can also be seen from this that this Baihua Village does have historical inheritance and cultural heritage.

"Brother Zhao, look at this fish..."

A few people had just walked around the archway and were looking at the entrance to the village. A young boy of fifteen or sixteen came running over, holding a big, lively carp in his hand, shaking it in his hand like a show off.

Niandi chuckled and said, "Wow, what a big fish. Did you catch it with the hook?"

The young boy raised his chin and said proudly, "Ang, my father and I went to pick lotus pods, and this guy jumped right up..."

Brother Zhao didn't seem to be interested in hearing about the opponent's achievements, so he stretched out his hand to pick up the water plant that was wearing the fish.

"Just in time, we have guests at home tonight. We are making pancakes and making fish soup. You can ask my uncle to come too!"

After Fish Hook left, Niandi explained to Zhang Xuebing, "He is my cousin, his surname is Yu, his nickname is Gouzi, and his nickname is Fish Hook!"

Along the way, Zhang Xuebing discovered that the chickens and dogs in the village heard each other and the neighbors were harmonious, which was really comparable to the Peach Blossom Land written by Mr. Tao.

"Dad, Mom, we are back from collecting medicine..."

“And I’m bringing two guests!”

“The hook was returned to the big carp!”

The three little sisters each spoke a word, and their voices sounded like silver bells.

In front of you is a small courtyard surrounded by a fence made of reeds. Three or four clay-roofed houses are located in the courtyard.

Red peppers, yellow corn, bunches of sweet potatoes, chickens on the ground, ducks croaking and dogs running around are hung on the walls. The whole yard exudes a strong local flavor.

Without waiting for anyone inside to respond, Zhaodi pushed open the fence door and gave Zhang Xuebing a sweet smile, "We're home, come in quickly!"

Xiao Chenchen looked around with curious eyes, secretly wondering if this little girl could lure a wolf into the house?

Brother Zhao led the two of them into the main room and asked them to sit wherever they wanted.

The other two girls went to put away the collected herbs.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and a man in his thirties came around from the back of the house and said in an angry voice.

"Whose guest is coming?"

He should be Hua Weidong, their father who recruited his younger brother. He is a very contemporary name.

When the head of the family arrived, Zhang Xuebing and Xiao Chenchen hurriedly stood up to say hello.

Hua Weidong was stunned and turned to look at his youngest daughter, "What is this?"

Niandi hurriedly said, "They escaped from marriage. My sister and I met and wanted to keep them overnight!"

Hua Weidong grinned at Zhang and Xiao, and pulled his daughter out of the hall.

"Girl, why did you bring this unknown person into your house?"

Zhaodi, who was drying herbs at the side, raised his head and said, "Dad, don't talk about her. We are the ones looking at them pitifully. Besides, they don't look like bad people. What's the point of staying here for one night and leaving tomorrow? It's no big deal for me."

Take a bite!”

Hua Weidong stamped his foot, "Hey, I don't care about the food. I'm afraid of recruiting bad people. People are getting worse and worse these days!"

At this moment, a rapid coughing sound came from a room in the backyard, and then the door opened and a woman in her thirties came out and said anxiously.

"Oh, have you collected the herbs? Hurry up and cook them for the old man!"

There was a patient at home, so Hua Weidong didn't want to talk about his daughter anymore, and hurriedly bent over to select herbs in the basket.

After a while, the strong smell of herbal medicine floated in the small courtyard, and Hua Weidong and his wife were busy making medicine to serve the old man.

The sisters prepared dinner separately, but no one paid any attention to Zhang Xuebing.

"What should we do, just poke here?"

Xiao Chenchen asked with a grimace.

Zhang Xuebing shrugged coolly, "Just take it as it comes, be patient, find a way to find the phone number, it will be easy then!"

The smell of medicine from the yard mixed with the aroma of fish soup floated into the main room, and the two hungry people swallowed involuntarily.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled awkwardly, and Xiao Chenchen said in a panic, "It's all my fault, and you're starving too!"

The sun really came out from the west. Mr. Xiao, who had always been arrogant and self-righteous, actually took the initiative to admit his mistake. Zhang Xuebing was a little uncomfortable, but he ignored him at this time.

Instead, listen to what's going on outside.

Although the whole village seemed peaceful and peaceful at present, Zhang Xuebing always felt a little weird, so he did not dare to relax his vigilance at all.

"Don't be angry with me, okay!" Xiao Chenchen looked up at Zhang Xuebing pleadingly and reached out to gently touch his arm.

"Shh, listen!" Zhang Xuebing put his index finger to his lips and made a silent gesture, indicating that she should listen outside.

Xiao Chenchen turned his ears and concentrated, only to hear a flurry of chickens and dogs flying outside, mixed with the screams of someone floating in the air.
