"This is the gatehouse we just built two years ago. How do you think it is?" Uncle Tian said happily.

Peng Wanhua said: "It's very good, very elegant, and it has a very cultural atmosphere at first glance."

Uncle Niu said, "Of course not. Our main attraction in Snow Mountain Village is culture. With the support of top scholars and academicians, how can the village not have some cultural buildings? We can't let our village hold you back!"

Peng Wanhua smiled.

"Hahaha~"

When the others saw that he was satisfied, they looked at each other and burst into laughter.

The main roads in the village are no worse than the wide country roads, and may even be better.

They all have 12 lanes in both directions, with non-motorized vehicle lanes, bicycle lanes and sidewalks.

The sidewalk is covered with an antique corridor.

As long as pedestrians walk on the sidewalk, they will basically not be exposed to rain or sun.

The green belts between the sidewalk, bicycle lane and motor vehicle lane are very exquisite.

Each tree is a straight evergreen landscape tree.

Peng Wanhua almost couldn't recognize where this place was.

With Uncle Tian’s introduction, I learned that this road was originally the road leading to the old village entrance.

On both sides of the road are neatly arranged three-story villas with gardens.

It is on par with the garden towns in Europe.

"The villa area here is what we planned for the village before. Now there are more than 500 villas and more than 2,000 people living in it."

Uncle Tian explained.

Peng Wanhua nodded and continued walking forward.

We came to a huge circular plaza.

In the center is a huge fountain, rockery and flag.

Surrounding the rockery fountain, many people in the square dressed in their best have begun singing and dancing.

It was obviously an event organized by the village to welcome him.

In addition to the huge leisure square, there is a new village committee and some public service places to the northeast, leisure facilities and supermarkets to the southeast, storefronts of many companies to the southwest, and a large vacant area to the northwest.

"This is the construction address of our planned Snow Mountain Village Hotel. Combined with your previous suggestions, we plan to start construction the year after next.

The target total height is 398 meters. It is positioned according to the super five-star standard and is a large-scale super high-rise modern hotel integrating tourism, sightseeing, conferences, shopping, accommodation, catering, fitness and entertainment!"

Uncle Niu pointed to the open space in the northwest and explained.

Peng Wanhua nodded and continued walking inside.

After walking through the villa area, we arrived at the end.

Uncle Tian said: "There are three roads here. To the east are some of our industrial and agricultural lands, to the north are the mountain tourist areas, and to the west is the original old village."

"In addition, the land allocated for your house is in the mid-levels. You need to walk a distance to the north and then fork on a separate road to reach the mid-levels."

"Are you going to your new home, or are you going back to your old home first?"

Peng Wanhua glanced at the hillside to the north and vaguely saw the white corners of several villas.

Hidden among the mountains and jungles, it has a special flavor.

"Let's go back to my hometown first. I haven't seen it for a long time." Peng Wanhua said.

"Well, go this way." Uncle Tian seemed to be afraid that he didn't know the way, so he quickly gestured.

To be honest, when Peng Wanhua saw this road, he really felt that things had changed.

His first impression of this road was that it was a one-meter-wide dirt road that turned into mud when it rained.

It is said that there are many tricks in cities and slippery roads in rural areas.

This is really not a lie.

When he was a child, he often took one deep step and one shallow step, and if he was not careful, he would fall and get covered in mud.

Later he went to college, and the conditions at home and in the village improved greatly, and then the road was turned into cement.

But now, not only has it become an asphalt road, but exquisite street lights have also been installed on the roadside, and beautiful roadside trees and colorful flower beds have been planted.

It was completely different from the old road he remembered!

After walking a few hundred meters, we arrived at a small hill.

The house halfway up the hill remains the same, without any change.

However, the hillside where the entire house is located has been surrounded by a high iron fence.

There is also a barbed wire with high voltage electricity above the fence.

It doesn't feel like my hometown, it feels like a prison under tight security.

There is only one big iron gate left for entry and exit.

There were several plaques hanging above the big iron gate:

The family of the top scholar, the family of academicians of the two academies, the family of the literary star, etc.

"What is this?" Peng Wanhua could understand hanging the plaque, but he was a little confused about such a tight defense.

Uncle Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he quickly explained, "Don't mention it. Ever since you became an academician of the two academies, people from all over the surrounding area have come to your house to hang out. Some people are even very superstitious and think you are really the god of literature who has descended to earth.

So I will take a brick back from your house. If I can't find a brick, I will look for a stone. If I can't find a stone, I will dig a piece of mud. If I really can't dig any mud, I will drink some water and then go back.

Your home has become more of a tourist attraction than anything else. If we hadn’t taken such action, you would have come back to find it completely bare!”

That's it!

Peng Wanhua suddenly understood.

Opening the big iron gate, the yard appeared before our eyes, and everything was the same as before.

The only thing that has changed is the lawn, which used to be covered with foxtail grass and various weeds.

Today, the lawns in front of and around the yard have been carefully tended and planted with uniform grasses and trees, as neat and clean as a green carpet.

Pushing open the gate, Peng Wanhua entered the front yard.

Clean and spotless.

Obviously someone cleans it regularly.

Walk through the front yard to the back yard.

After a walk around, I found that the layout of the kitchen, dining room, living room and bedroom was the same as it was more than ten years ago.

The layout of his bedroom, including the bed, bookshelf and desk, has not changed at all.

But everything was clean, just like yesterday.

After visiting his hometown, Peng Wanhua went to the old house and ancestral hall.

The old house and ancestral hall were not demolished, but were carefully renovated.

The armchair and altar were so shiny that they looked as if they had just been varnished.

Peng Wanhua and the children burned incense and paid homage to their ancestors before leaving.

The group returned to the end of the new village and headed north along the winding mountain road. He planned to visit his new home.

We reached a fork in the road.

"We've dropped you off here. You can go up and take a look first. We have arranged a banquet in the town tonight. Do you have time to attend it?" Uncle Tian asked cautiously.

Although Peng Wanhua grew up under his care, Peng Wanhua is no longer the same as before, so he has to be careful with his words.

Peng Wanhua punched Uncle Tian on the shoulder, then glanced at Uncle Niu before saying, "Uncle, you guys are being too formal. How can I not go to a banquet to invite me?"

He actually understood that this was not what Uncle Tian wanted to say.

Given the relationship between two people or two families, it would be easy to just add a pair of chopsticks when eating.

These arrangements are actually what the city wants to say.

It’s just that Peng Wanhua doesn’t have much connections with the city government, so it would be awkward if the city government said it directly and was rejected by him.

So I can only say it through Uncle Tian’s mouth.
