Xianyuan Farm

In a few years, the town and the village seemed to have no changes except for the two-story brick houses on both sides of the road. If there is any feeling, it is that the land in the village is more barren. ⊥

Gu Hongyu felt a little pity when he saw such a scene along the way, but he did not think of returning home. The town where they were originally located was on the edge of development in the suburbs. Although there was a big mountain around, the environment still suffered some damage.

This is not the point. It is also because these villages may be requisitioned by industrial parks. Although those wastelands are just barren and no one is cultivating them, once someone requisitions the land, the owners of those lands will stand up and ask for a price that is daunting.

These have nothing to do with Gu Hongyu. The car drove for more than ten minutes, crossed a ridge and crossed a forest, and the ancestral house where my uncle and father lived when they were young appeared in front of him.

Maybe it was because my uncle was celebrating his birthday today, so the courtyard of my uncle's house and the woods outside the courtyard were filled with tables and chairs. In a corner of the courtyard, there was a simple stove made of red bricks. A fat chef was busy at the stove, and the aroma of some traditional steamed dishes in the mountain city was wafting everywhere.

It was relatively early at this time, so Gu Hongyu parked his car on the side of the road, trying not to occupy a wider area of ​​the road, otherwise the vehicles coming from behind on the rural road would not be able to pass. (I don't know if rural roads in other places are like this. In the rural roads of the author's hometown, only two small cars can cross each other. If the driving skills are not up to standard, it is really difficult to miss)

"Ah, big birthday man, your youngest Gu Jianming and his family are back to see you." A villager who came to help saw Gu Hongyu and his family walk into the yard and hurriedly shouted towards the main hall.

In fact, there was no need for the villager to call out. The uncle had already walked out accompanied by his cousin. Looking at Gu Hongyu's family, the uncle said excitedly: "You are all back. We haven't seen each other for a few years. Now we are all a big family. Come in and sit down."

Because of the environment, the uncle and his father have not seen each other for a long time. Although the family affection cannot be separated, the intimacy has quietly become weak with the passage of time. At this moment, the uncle's words are a little unfamiliar.

However, Gu Hongyu will not let this kind of family affection change the taste. He handed the gift in his hand to his cousin and said respectfully: "Uncle looks good. Although it is convenient to do anything in the big city, it is still better to live in the countryside."

"Haha. Xiaoyu still understands my thoughts. Although everything is convenient in the city, when it comes to food and drink, rural people are better than city people. We eat all vegetables and fruits irrigated with farm fertilizers, and drink pure and original mountain spring water. I feel at ease living in the countryside." The uncle said with a smile.

Walking into the two-story house made of bricks and stones, which was built by my eldest cousin. Now my eldest cousin and his wife are working in the city, and my uncle and his wife are watching the house at home.

Put the gifts on the second floor, and when I walked out of the house, my second uncle and his family also came back, and they were accompanied by my eldest and third cousins. It's been a long time since we last met, and everyone greeted each other politely.

As time approached noon, more and more people came to visit the courtyards and woods around the house. There were villagers from the village and many relatives and friends who came from afar. They were all villagers living next to each other and everyone was familiar with each other. When there were more people, the small courtyard suddenly became very lively.

I heard from my cousin that my uncle had a total of 30 tables for his birthday banquet today, but a rough calculation showed that the number of guests visiting today might exceed the original arrangement.

Fortunately, the ingredients prepared by the one-stop service this time were relatively abundant, and my uncle immediately asked the chubby chef to prepare five more tables of dishes. Because it was a newly added banquet, some dishes might be missing from these tables, but it didn't matter. Generally, when the number of people exceeds the reserved banquet, the closest relatives of the family will be the last to come to the table. The five tables are basically for the family, and they will not care if two dishes are missing.

The uncle arranged the banquet at 12:08 noon. Rural people prefer to seek auspiciousness on this happy day. At 12:08 noon, the uncle's close relatives and younger generations all returned to the hall and knelt down. Gu Hongyu and Mei Ning also came forward without any surprise, and even Taotao, who was over one year old, was led by Gu Hongyu.

This is the moment that the guests who celebrate the birthday pay the most attention to. From the number of people kneeling in front of each birthday star, you can see whether there are any capable people in this family. This is also a disguised comparison of many rural people.

However, today, it is obvious that Gu Hongyu's family has received more attention. Many villagers pointed at them and whispered about them.

"See? The people on the left in the second row kneeling in front of the old man are Gu Jianming's eldest and second sons. The two women next to them must be their wives. The eldest son, Gu Hongyu, is now the father of two children. I heard that he is very rich now."

"Tsk, what kind of news is this? The eldest son of Gu Jianming's family is more than just rich. If you ask me, he would have been on some rich list last year. This time, Gu Jianming's family came back from abroad specifically for his uncle's birthday!"

"There have been a lot of news about Hongyu in recent years. I heard that he built a farm in China before, but later he was forced to leave by powerful people in China. After that, he went to Australia and bought a large piece of land there to build a larger farm. CCTV broadcast the news about Hongyu's farm a while ago."

"I know this. It's really scary to say it. Hongyu's farm in Australia bought hundreds of cows and hundreds of fish a while ago and made 500 million Australian dollars and more than 400 million Australian dollars respectively. I heard from the TV news that if it is converted into Chinese currency, it is more than 5 billion!"

"More than five billion, come on, our town doesn't have this much income in a year, right?"

"Our town? Don't say that our town's economic conditions are pretty good. I don't think at least ten towns can compare with it!"

"If so much money is piled up, I wonder how big a house will be needed to fit it in?"

"It's really unimaginable that even a million-dollar household in our area is a very wealthy person. I didn't expect that Gu Jianming's family is already so rich!"

"It was so difficult for their family in the past. Both children had to go to school, and Liu Yuanlan was not in good health. I remember that his family asked me to borrow money a few years ago. Who would have thought that now they have completely turned over, and Gu Jianming and the others are also considered All the hard work comes with joy!”

"When you just said it, I just realized it now. Look at Gu Jianming and Liu Yuanlan. How good-looking these two people are. I remember that Gu Jianming had a lot of gray hair in the past few years, but now the black hair on his head is not dyed. Come on, it’s reasonable to say that he dyed his hair, but everyone knows that Liu Yuanlan is weak and it’s not like that at all now!”

"Hey, what's wrong with rich people can't be cured? His boss Hongyu has so much money. If you look for doctors all over the world, you can always find someone who can treat their condition well. In addition, if there is no burden in your heart when you are so pampered, how can this person do it? You don’t look young!”
