Chapter 772 Lou Xiao'e Returns
Qin Huairu also didn't want to let Jia Zhang starve.
But she really had no choice.
Even though he owed so much money to the credit union, Banggeng's business still didn't improve at all.
If this continues, they will have to rely on her and Xiaodang’s salary to pay it back.
We can't sell the house and have the whole family squeeze back into one room.
It's really unbearable.
The most unlucky one is always Xiaodang.
Another year has passed.
In the four years since she started working, she has not saved a penny and has gone all the way to fill the hole in her family's pocket.
Countless nights, Xiaodang thought about Wang Tiedan's words, and his desire to leave home and live alone grew stronger day by day.
Courtyard 95.
The renovation is nearing completion.
From the outside, there’s nothing special about it. The walls are still the same walls, with green bricks and green tiles. It’s as ordinary as it can be.
But after entering, it’s completely different.
There is a scene every three steps and a painting every five steps, these are murals.
Pavilions, towers, terraces, corridors and boats.
It has the natural atmosphere of Suzhou gardens, the freshness and elegance of Hui-style architecture, and the cultural heritage of the Siheyuan.
Room interior with lights, telephone, TV and sofa.
Anyway, it is fully equipped with various household appliances and is very modern.
It is quite different from the one Wang Tiedan originally designed.
The house in the front yard of No. 95 was used as a warehouse and was not sealed off.
The middle and back yards are connected to Yard 105, leading to Yard 103, and then to Yard 101 and Yard 91.
Each courtyard has a chess and card room and an activity room for the elderly to visit and entertain themselves.
The restaurant is located in Courtyard 93 and can accommodate 150 people for dinner at a time.
Wang Tiedan did not forget the children either.
The interior of the house in Yard 91 was converted into a student dormitory.
There is no shortage of beds, desks and blackboards, as well as various musical instrument rooms, sports rooms, and study rooms.
Wang Tiedan had a plan a long time ago to invite professional teachers based on the child's interests to cultivate the child's all-round development of morality, intelligence and physical fitness from an early age.
Dawang Village was also rebuilt along with the courtyard.
Society is progressing and technology is developing.
A large chicken farm must look like a large chicken farm.
With the joint efforts of Miyun County and villagers, more than a dozen surrounding villages have built the most advanced chicken farm in the country, accompanied by a feed factory, plastic greenhouses, fruit and vegetable bases, etc.
With the support of these projects, more than a dozen villages seemed to have entered a well-off society in just one year.
The houses are being built in an orderly manner, one next to the other.
Every household has a few electrical appliances that are worth showing off.
Just counting these dozen or so villages, the per capita income has exceeded that of the main cities.
This was a good thing not only for the villagers, but also for Deputy Town Mayor Zhao. After the post-New Year meeting, he was officially promoted to Town Mayor Zhao.
Of course, this is inseparable from Wang Tiedan.
Thanks to the "hard lobbying" of Deputy Town Mayor Zhao, Wang Tiedan set up a feed factory, a fruit processing factory, a bakery, and a future garment factory around Miyun County.
The total investment amount is unknown, but the development it has brought is visible to the naked eye.
With this resume, Deputy Mayor Zhao's political career has taken another step forward.
He is not even fifty years old yet, so there is a lot of hope for his future.
In addition to these constructions, Wang Tiedan also set up a Laotoule soda factory.
There is no other way. The old man and the old woman have nothing to do all day, so I always find something for them to do.
Aunt Jiang was the factory director, Aunt Hou was the deputy director, and there were a lot of other positions that the old men and women divided among themselves.
We have the most advanced machines and a lot of recruited laborers, so they don't have to do heavy work.
The factory director’s most orders come from the various industries under Wang Tiedan’s name.
KFC alone is enough to keep the factory profitable.
After inspecting the yard, Wang Tiedan returned to his life of lying down.
It’s too hot during the dog days of summer, so going to the credit union to sign and collect money has changed from once a day to once a week.
That day, Wang Tiedan was still taking a nap.
A car stopped at the gate of No. 95 Courtyard, and a beautifully dressed woman got out, carrying a bag in one hand and holding a child in the other.
The two people were Lou Xiao'e, a Hong Kong businessman who returned to the mainland to invest, and her son Lou Jiye, who was on summer vacation.
I first went to Courtyard 101, but the door was tightly closed and no one answered when I knocked, so I came to Courtyard 95.
As soon as she entered and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but sigh.
"Jiye, your mother has lived in this courtyard for four years."
"What about Dad? How many years did he live there?" Lou Jiye asked.
"He should have moved in in 60 and moved to Courtyard 101 in . You can count the years."
"Seven years~"
"Well, almost. When I married him, he was still underage."
As they were talking, the two of them had already entered the front yard.
At this time, the Yan family had already moved out, and no one was blocking the door anymore.
There are only three families left in the front yard. Two of them are new residents who wanted to integrate into the new retirement group, but they never did and have not moved out since then.
Another family is the Meng family, which is Aunt Zhao’s family.
Mr. Meng has already moved into a nursing home, and Aunt Zhao and the others have also received an invitation from Wang Tiedan, but they want to stay like this for the time being and move in when they are older.
As soon as Lou Xiao'e entered, she felt something was different.
The front yard is a place for residents to cool off, with a breeze, shade from trees, and stone benches and tables.
It's such a hot day, even if there are no people playing chess, there should be people enjoying the cool air.
But now, there is no one here, which is very strange.
Just as she was about to walk to the middle courtyard, the door of the Meng family opened. Aunt Zhao looked puzzled and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Lou Xiao'e stopped and looked at the somewhat familiar face, a look of surprise on her face.
"You are Aunt Zhao, right? I am Lou Xiao'e!"
"Lou Xiao'e?"
Aunt Zhao was also surprised to hear this name which she hadn't heard for more than ten years.
"I know, I know. I heard you went to Hong Kong. Are you back?"
"Um~Are you okay?"
"Okay, come on, come in, come in, it's hot outside~"
Aunt Zhao hurried to greet them.
Lou Xiao'e smiled and waved her hand.
"No, no, I'm here to look for Wang Tiedan. Do you know where he is?"
"Are you looking for Wang Tiedan? I know, I know. He should be in Yard 91 now. I'll take you there~"
"Okay~ Thank you for your help."
Lou Xiao'e was about to turn around and leave when Aunt Zhao hurriedly stopped her.
"You don't have to go that way, just go from here."
Aunt Zhao might have wanted to show off, so she pulled Lou Xiao'e directly into the middle courtyard.
After passing the Moon Gate, the scenery changes instantly, and there is a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
Lou Xiao'e and Lou Jieye also opened their eyes wide, as if they had come to a different world.
"Why has this place become like this?"
“It was Tiedan who had all the renovation done. From courtyards 101 to 105, and courtyards 91 to 95, they were all bought by Tiedan to run a nursing home. The renovation started at the beginning of the year and has just been completed.
They said it was some kind of gas and we can’t move in until some time later.” Aunt Zhao introduced.
"I heard about it from Tiedan, but I didn't expect that he could decorate it so well~"
Lou Xiao'e looked at the scenery in the yard and exclaimed.
"We didn't expect it. I heard they hired experts from some Chinese Design Institute, five or six of them, including Yangshi Lei, to do the repairs together. I don't know how much it cost."
Aunt Zhao was very proud.
However, his eyes never left Lou Jiye.
