: OK! We got it. Tomorrow morning, our staff will send you a small gift as your contribution to the development of our village.

: crying and laughing.jpg, it’s not really a contribution, I just thought the scenery here was beautiful, so I took a short video.

: But this really helped us get the word out!

: What time will you come tomorrow?

: Our working hours are nine in the morning, so we will send staff there around ten o'clock.

:I want to ask a question.

:You say.

: I would like to ask if the staff of the official website are from the village?

: Yes, our official website or online store is usually managed by our village or party committee comrades or outsiders who have stayed in the village for several years. Now many people return to their hometowns to start businesses, and making the village a tourist attraction is our first goal now.

: I see. Thanks for your answer.

: You’re welcome, I wish you a happy life!

Xu Yan turned off her cell phone and heard a familiar voice in her ears. She turned around and found that the other two people had already come up the mountain.

"Oh wow, he's here, are you fast asleep?"

"Sound asleep, sound asleep."

Li Yiran replied embarrassedly, saying that he had agreed to get up early in the morning, but ended up sleeping late again today.

"Hurry up, there are still a few trees. Once you're done, just take these baskets down the mountain and give them to Grandma Wang."

Grandpa Lin would do this every year at this time. He would prepare all these things by himself and take the backpack down. If he met people from the same village on the road, he would give them help.

Grandpa Lin walked in the front, and warned the four little girls behind him: "Girls, be careful. The road is a little wet. If you can't lift it anymore, tell Grandpa."

"Yes" x4

Xu Yan carried one on her back and held one in her hand, and the other three each carried one on their backs.

It is called: great strength.

Grandpa Lin started humming a tune in the front, and the atmosphere in the mountains made it feel wonderful.

After they came down the mountain and returned to Moshanghua, Xu Yan and the others put down their things and hammered their shoulders with their hands.

"My girls, please stay for lunch. I knew you would come over. I went to buy some beef when you left this morning and made beef stew for you at noon."

"Thank you, Grandma Wang!"

Xu Yan and the others did not refuse. They said thank you and sat on the stools in the living room.

"Tomorrow they said someone will come and give us gifts."

"who?"

"What gift?"

Seeing the black people's question mark faces again, Xu Yan remembered that she hadn't told them yet.

"I posted a video about this village on Douyin a few days ago, and it received a lot of likes and good feedback, so the Nile Village official contacted me and said that a staff member would come to give some small gifts around 10 o'clock tomorrow. I didn't ask about the gifts, thinking of keeping some mystery."

Xu Yan opened the previous chat history and put it on the table for them to see.

"Wow, we have a little gift!"

“This official website should be in the village, right?”

"Maybe I'll have to ask Aunt Chen about this."

Xu Yan really didn't know about this, but maybe Aunt Chen knew.

"Why don't we just ask Grandpa Lin and the others later?"

Half an hour later, Grandma Wang brought out a porcelain bowl filled with stewed beef. It looked delicious.

Six people were eating around a table. At the beginning, Xu Yan asked, "Grandma, do you know who is in charge of this official website in our village?"

Xu Yan said as she moved her phone closer to show it to Grandma Wang. She looked at it for a long time, as if she was thinking about something. "This should have been made by Xiaoyu's team. I don't know what it is, but they started to work on this thing after they finished it."

"Xiao Yu is?"

Xu Yan admitted that she had only heard of Xiao Fu before. Seeing her puzzled expression, Grandma Wang began to explain who this Xiao Yu was.

"Xiao Yu is also one of those who came back to start a business. You can say he's with Xiao Fu. You know Xiao Fu, right?"

“I know this, but I’m not familiar with it.”

They had only heard Aunt Chen and Uncle Ding talk about Xiao Fu. Although they had heard about his deeds, they didn't know his name. After asking, they found out that Xiao Fu's real name was Fu Zhengze. He was 32 years old this year and was a businessman, at least in essence.

"Xiao Yu will come back earlier than Xiao Fu, but to be honest, the people in our village are still happy that Xiao Yu and Xiao Fu are back, because their coming here has made our economic conditions much better."

"We have a Party and Youth League Committee, and there are several young people in the Party and Youth League Committee who cooperate with Xiao Fu and his friends, because they came to our village to help us."

Grandma Wang made it clear that the Party Youth League Committee and Xiao Fu Xiaoyu's team were cooperating with each other.

After Grandma Wang’s explanation, most of the four people understood a little.

"Thank you, Grandma Wang."

"It's okay, eat quickly."

……

When I got back to the hotel, I saw Aunt Chen humming a cheerful tune while wiping the table with a rag.

"Eh? Are you back?"

Aunt Chen opened the door at seven o'clock. By then, Xu Yan and the others had already left. When Li Yiran and the others left later, they happened to run into Aunt Chen and the others. Upon asking, they found out that they had gone to pick oranges.

"came back."

Aunt Chen saw that they were sweating, so she took some tissue paper from the tissue box on the table and handed it to them.

"Oh, it took so long. I guess it's more than just picking oranges."

Xu Yan and others took tissues to wipe their sweat, and nodded when they heard Aunt Chen's words.

"Let's go help Grandpa Lin."

"Oh, you are such a good kid. Grandpa Lin is old and not as strong as before, and Grandma Wang can't help with the work in the mountains due to her health condition, so people like us or some of the younger generations can help out if we have time."

"Come inside and get some rest."

Xu Yan led the way up the stairs to the second floor.

"Oh my god! My bed! I feel so tired!"

Chen Jiani lay down, feeling her bones creaking and her back and waist aching.

The oranges were given to Grandma Wang, who planned to make jam and canned oranges from them. This was Grandma Wang's best way to use oranges.

When it is finished, Grandma Wang will give it to Xu Yan and the others.

“I really can’t imagine how Grandpa Lin persisted.”

"I have to persevere even if I have to. My son and his family won't be able to come home for several years. I didn't tell them when I got seriously ill because I was afraid they would worry. All my money has been spent on it. Although my grandfather's son also sends money every month, my grandfather and his family are thinking of saving the money for their grandchildren."

“That’s the mindset of the older generation.”

"But I think it's a bit unusual not to come back for several years, right?"

Li Yiran didn't understand. She thought that no matter how busy one was, one should go home to check on how his parents were doing.

"But things don't go as planned? Many people spend their entire lives working hard, only to find that their savings can't even afford a few square meters of toilet space, so they stay in the city to work."

"Everyone is living a fast life now, except Xu Yan who has achieved financial freedom..."

Su Rou glanced at Xu Yan. Oh, comparing oneself to others is really like comparing one’s own death.
