This wave of tourists lasted for almost a week and finally passed smoothly. However, the villagers of Yunmiao Village had two voices.
One group makes money by doing small business, and naturally hopes that the more tourists the better, while the other group does not do business and feels that the arrival of tourists has made the originally peaceful village uneasy.
The village committee could only send people to do the work of the villagers. Huang Xinxin, a college student village official, was the first to bear the brunt. He was often looked down upon by the villagers and had to ask Xie Zhiyao to help mediate.
On this day, Qin Hao and Xu Hongdou closed the B&B restaurant and went out for a walk. They met Xie Zhiyao who was in a hurry and didn't know what to do, so they called him out of curiosity.
"Mr. Xie, where are you going?"
Xie Zhiyao stopped and took a breath: "A friend of mine recommended Yunmiao Village to the owner of Shaohua Bookstore. Their family came for a private trip. I didn't think that if Shaohua Bookstore could open in Yunmiao Village, it would be able to provide services to Yunmiao Village.
It brings a very stable flow of tourists.”
Xu Hongdou was a little surprised: "Yes, then this is indeed a good thing. Shaohua Bookstore has a store in Beijing. I have been there and the atmosphere is very good. If a Shaohua Bookstore is really built in Yunmiao Village, it will definitely attract many tourists.
, and it won’t be like the previous promotional videos, which will be popular for a few days and then disappear.”
"It's not that easy. The site selection requirements for Shaohua Bookstore are strict. Many new first-tier cities have not opened stores. Yunmiao Village is so remote. If you want people to spend real money..."
It was obvious that even Xie Zhiyao himself had little confidence.
Qin Hao smiled and said: "It depends on the human effort. Let's try it and decide if it works. Anyway, it won't cost much to receive you."
"Yes, then I'll go there first."
After Xie Zhiyao left, Qin Hao smiled and said to Xu Hongdou, "You seem to be very concerned about the affairs of Yunmiao Village."
Xu Hongdou was stunned for a moment and tilted his head: "Well, how should I put it? Although I have only lived here for more than two months, I feel more familiar here than when I have been in the capital for ten years. Perhaps the capital has changed too much.
It’s almost here, before I get used to it, it’s completely different.”
Two days later, Xie Zhiyao brought the owner of Shaohua Bookstore and his party to Qin Hao's B&B. Qin Hao happened to come over for inspection, and the two parties briefly said hello.
"Mr. Qin, can I take the liberty to ask why you came here to build a B&B of this scale?"
Qin Hao recognized the young man in front of him. He was Zhang Mingyu, the chief designer of Shaohua Bookstore. He was acting as the boss's assistant. In fact, he was the one who really made the final decision on the location of Shaohua Bookstore.
"I didn't build this B&B in the first place. Something happened to the original owner's family, so I cashed it in. As for the reason, my girlfriend and I both like the relaxed and leisurely atmosphere here, but we are afraid that people will be too busy when they are free.
It’s easy to get bored after a long time, so I decided to find something to do for myself.”
Qin Hao glanced at Xie Zhiyao and thought, there's only so much I can do to help you.
Hearing this, Zhang Mingyu showed a clear smile on his face: "Well, the environment here is indeed very good."
While Zhang Mingyu was going to the balcony on the second floor, Qin Hao secretly reminded Xie Zhiyao: "Pay attention to Zhang Mingyu, he doesn't look like an ordinary assistant."
"oh?"
"Have you ever seen an assistant who doesn't follow the boss and asks questions everywhere?"
Xie Zhiyao nodded suspiciously: "It makes sense."
After the Shaohua Bookstore group left, Qin Hao continued to check and accept the water. He had been pouring water in the bathrooms of each room for several hours before. He went to the first floor to check if there were any leaks, and then there were wires, water pipes and the like. It took a lot of work.
After a day, Xie Xiaojun and his gang were relatively reliable in their work. Except for a few minor flaws, there were no major problems. After the repairs, Qin Hao settled 50% of the payment to Xie Xiaojun on the spot, plus the previous 30%, that is
80%.
"For the remaining 20%, if there are no problems with the project after three months, I will transfer it directly to you and sign it."
This is not Qin Hao's deliberate delay. According to the unwritten rules of the construction industry, the final payment must be settled for at least six months. On the one hand, it can save a wave of funds, and on the other hand, there are some construction problems that will not be revealed for a while.
, it will only be exposed after it has been used for a period of time. If the money is not paid and the construction team goes to work elsewhere, there is a high probability that they will not pay attention to it.
Xie Xiaojun also understood the reason. After signing, he said gratefully: "No problem, we all trust Mr. Qin."
Next, it was Xie Xiaojun's business to pay workers' wages. A group of workers gathered around Xie Xiaojun and left the B&B to find another place to calculate wages.
After locking the door of the B&B, Qin Hao returned to the windy courtyard and happened to see Xu Hongdou packing and preparing to send the express.
"You're back, everything is done?" Xu Hongdou squatted and turned around to ask.
Qin Hao came behind Xu Hongdou and took over the work from her: "Well, I settled 80% of the project payment with Xie Xiaojun, which is enough for him to pay the workers' wages."
"Then the next step is to start decorating? Do you still have time to go back with me?"
"Of course, the world is big and your problem is the biggest."
Xu Hongdou pretended to be disgusted and said: "Tsk, it's obvious that you want to go back with me shamelessly, but I didn't ask you to go."
Qin Hao shook his head helplessly: "Yes, my Majesty the Queen, everything you said is right."
Xu Hongdou was very satisfied with Qin Hao's answer and kissed him on the side of his face as a reward. Perhaps because he had decided to meet his parents, Xu Hongdou was not as shy as before, and some of his intimate actions became more
Be natural before.
Just two days before Qin Hao and Xu Hongdou packed their things and prepared to visit their parents, it suddenly rained heavily for two consecutive days. They had no choice but to postpone their trip until the third day. Qin Hao and Xu Hongdou left with their luggage in the wind.
When we were walking into the small courtyard, we happened to meet Huang Xinxin, the new resident of Fengfeng Small Courtyard.
"Isn't it raining this time? The roof of my dormitory is leaking and needs to be repaired, so I have to come to the small courtyard to stay temporarily for a while. It's a pity that you have to leave again."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xu Hongdou comforted: "It's okay, we will be back."
"Well, then I wish Lao Qin success and win over his mother-in-law in one fell swoop." Huang Xinxin turned to Qin Hao and smiled.
Qin Hao didn't say anything, but looked at Xu Hongdou, which made Huang Xinxin complain: "No, this dog food of yours is too high-end, I can't get used to it."
Coming out of the windy courtyard, Xie Zhiyao was already waiting at the door.
Qin Hao smiled and said: "Didn't I say you don't need to send it away? Why do you make it so formal? Are you afraid that I won't come back?"
Xie Zhiyao nodded seriously: "Don't say it, I'm really afraid that you won't be able to stand the sugar-coated bullets from your mother-in-law, and you will stay in Hongdou's hometown."
When Xu Hongdou saw that Xie Zhiyao actually dared to tease her, she immediately hit back: "Mr. Xie, I think the bar owner Xiaochun introduced to you last time is quite good. How about I ask her to contact you again?"
Sure enough, this trick worked. Xie Zhiyao quickly admitted his mistake: "No, aunt, I was wrong, so that's okay."
Xu Hongdou raised her eyebrows at Qin Hao proudly.
.......
On the other side, Xu Hongdou’s hometown is Zibo.
Liu Guiqin and Xu Jianguo started cleaning early in the morning. At noon, one of them was staring at the clock on the wall and the other was staring at the mobile phone on the sofa. They both felt like their days were like a year.
"Why don't you give Dou a call? They should have gotten off the plane by this time, right?" Liu Guiqin pushed her husband with her arm.
But Xu Jianguo turned his back directly: "I won't fight, but I will fight you."
"Hey, I don't know who heard that my daughter was coming back last night. It was like baking a big cake, turning it left and right." Liu Guiqin directly turned on the memory mode.
Xu Jianguo was a little embarrassed: "I was concerned about my daughter. What's wrong? It's not like you. During the video last night, there was Xiao Qin on the left and Xiao Qin on the right. Those who didn't know better thought he was your son."
"Hmph, I only have half a son-in-law. I love my house and my wife. How can you be so jealous?"
"Who's jealous? Just kidding, I don't need to be jealous of him?"
Just when the argument between the two was about to escalate, there was a knock on the door.
"Mom and Dad, what are you arguing about? I heard the noise at the door." Xu Hongdou tried to use ridicule to dilute the sad atmosphere of the reunion.
However, Liu Guizhen still hugged her.
"Doud, it'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."
Xu Jianguo's eyes immediately turned red, but when he saw Qin Hao standing outside the door, he immediately turned away to calm down.
After a while, Liu Guizhen finally remembered Qin Hao. After letting go of her daughter, she quickly let Qin Hao in.
"Xiao Qin, sit down quickly. Auntie will get you something to drink."
Qin Hao said quickly: "Auntie, please stop being busy, I'm not thirsty."
As he spoke, he took out the gifts he had prepared before, including cosmetics, clothes, and some treasures such as mushrooms.
The cosmetics and clothes were actually chosen by Xu Hongdou. They were a bit better than the brands Liu Guizhen usually used, and they were not particularly expensive. As for the treasures, they were all collected from the locals in Yunmiao Village, so they were not considered expensive.
Purely natural and pollution-free.
Liu Guiqin smiled and said to Qin Hao: "Oh, Xiao Qin, didn't I tell you? Auntie will be very happy when you come. You don't need to buy any gifts. Look, you bought so much and we can't eat it. It's a waste."
"
"It's just a little thought and no money spent." Qin Hao answered sternly.
Liu Guiqin saw that Qin Hao was taller, more handsome and had a better temperament than he looked in the video. The more she watched, the more satisfied she became.
Xu Jianguo said nothing. Xu Hongdou immediately understood that his father was being ignored, so he took Xu Jianguo's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Dad, aren't you happy when I come back? Why don't you say a word?"
Xu Jianguo said dullly: "Why don't you let your mother finish it all by herself? What else can I say?"
Liu Guiqin immediately glared at her husband. If Qin Hao hadn't been there, the couple might have quarreled again.
Xu Hongdou quickly signaled Qin Hao to bring out the gift for Xu Jianguo.
"Uncle, I heard from Hongdou that you like to play chess. This is a chess set made for you by myself."
Xu Jianguo thought he heard wrong until Qin Hao took out an exquisite wooden box. After opening it, there was really a chess set inside, and it was made of mahogany. The wooden box was also very interesting. There was a switch in the middle. After opening it,
checkerboard.
"Did you really make this with your own hands?" Xu Jianguo said: I don't believe it, don't lie to me.
Xu Hongdou quickly proved it to Qin Hao: "It's absolutely true. I watched him polish these chess pieces one by one. This is a unique chess piece in the world. There will never be another chess like it in the world."
.”
Not to mention that sincerity is the most lethal weapon, Xu Jianguo's attitude towards Qin Hao also changed a lot after hearing this.
"Can you still do carpentry?"
Qin Hao nodded: "I studied with my grandpa for a while when I was a child. Grandpa said that if a man has many skills, he should not be overwhelmed, so there is no harm in learning more crafts."
"Well, what your grandpa said makes sense, the more you learn the craft, the better." After Xu Jianguo finished speaking, he said to Qin Hao: "Well, Xiao Qin, are you willing to play? Have a game with uncle?"
】
Well, the names have changed, Xu Hongdou quickly winked at Qin Hao.
"Yes." Qin Hao could only agree with a grimace.
Xu Jianguo thought that Qin Hao was not good enough and was afraid of exposing his secrets in front of his daughter. However, after playing two games, he discovered that the opponent was a master. The two games were played until both sides were almost out of ammunition before the winner was decided.
In fact, Qin Hao's attack was indeed very painful. He could not use his true strength, and he could not let Xu Jianguo see that he was his.
On the other side, in the kitchen, Liu Guizhen was holding Xu Hongdou and talking quietly.
"Xiao Qin is a good person. No, let's stop choosing. Let's go see his parents sometime and settle the matter."
Xu Hongdou was a little unconvinced: "Mom, what you said makes it sound like I'm not worthy of him."
"It's worthy, it's worthy, but to be honest, kids like Xiao Qin are in demand everywhere. Don't be too confident, or someone will kidnap you." Liu Guizhen warned worriedly.
"Yeah, okay, I understand." Xu Hongdou curled her lips perfunctorily.
The mother and daughter washed the fruit and brought it to the living room. They found that Xu Jianguo had begun to sweat on his forehead.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Xu Jianguo wiped his sweat with a tissue and surrendered. Not only was he not angry, but he looked very excited and said to Qin Hao: "Xiao Qin played the game well. Uncle, I haven't encountered such a master in this area for a long time."
Come on, let’s play a few more rounds, I won’t believe you anymore, I can’t break your chain of tricks.”
The corner of Qin Hao's mouth twitched. He could hardly bear it any longer. It was too difficult for Xu Jianguo, a stinky chess player, to maintain a similar level to him.
"Ahem, um, uncle, why don't we have dinner first and then go downstairs? You two can also try my craftsmanship today."
"How can that be done? You are a guest, how can I let you cook?"
"that is."
Xu Hongdou was on Qin Hao's side at this time, mainly because she was used to Qin Hao's cooking and her mouth had become naughty.
Liu Guizhen and Xu Jianguo didn't care at first, thinking that their daughter was in the eye of the beholder. It wasn't until they saw Qin Hao's superb knife skills that they believed he really had this skill.
"Daughter, where did you find this boyfriend? He knows a little too much, doesn't he?"
