Today is a good day. After waiting for a month and a half, the French-style house that I have been thinking about is finally completed!
A week has passed since the last time she acted as Zheng Mengmeng's boyfriend and accompanied her to a class reunion. Jiang Qiu's life has become completely leisurely.
Over at Century Restaurant, Jiang Qiu holds 30% of the shares, but he is not required to participate in the decision-making. He only needs to sit at home and collect the money.
The winery has Yun Jinlian, a high-end talent in management, and there has never been any trouble.
Coupled with the strong strength of Yangshen Medicinal Liquor, it became famous in Sanyang City almost instantly! Everyone who bought it, without exception, repurchased it!
There is even a faint trend of developing into other counties and cities.
Jiang Qiu rented thirty-six acres of farmland from the villagers, plus the one-acre his own family owned, for a total of thirty-seven acres.
Originally, Chen E was too busy on her own, but her brother Chen Niu recovered quickly and was able to work in the fields within a week.
The brother and sister worked together to tidy up thirty-seven acres of land.
Jiang Qiu also specially built a mobile model house for them and installed it with air conditioning so that they could live next to the farmland, making it convenient for them to live and work.
Thirty-seven acres of cultivated land are surrounded by movable steel plates brought by Wang Chongxi. Only a steady stream of vegetables is transported out of it every day, and no one knows what is going on inside.
……………
The outside of the new house has been decorated with lights and decorations. Wang Chongxi specially bought a large piece of colorful flags and hung them in front of the house very conspicuously.
Below the colorful flags are two rows of square banquet tables, thirty tables in total, and they are well arranged.
This is the tradition here in Sanyang City.
When encountering a big happy event, a banquet will be held to entertain guests from all over, in order to receive blessings and share the joy.
For example, when a person is named on a gold medal, there are flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, buying a car or building a house, the birth of a child, etc., banquets need to be set up at these times.
It just so happened that Jiang Qiu not only completed the house, but also bought a car. Together, these two happy events made it normal for Jiang Qiu to be wealthy and have a table of thirty.
All the villagers in Wanglong Village received Jiang Qiu's invitation and came to express their congratulations early in the morning.
Everyone looked at the tall French-style mansion in front of them and couldn't help but marvel.
"I'm such a sweetheart! This is so beautiful! I've only seen it on TV before!"
"Yes, look at the two stone statues at the gate. I asked Chongxi specifically, and they said each one costs several thousand yuan!"
"What's a statue? Have you seen the marble slabs paved in that house? One piece costs hundreds! For such a large area, you can't spend tens of thousands of dollars to pave it from beginning to end!"
"I'm envious! I'm so envious! If I could have such a house, I wouldn't be in my forties and still not have a wife!"
Just when everyone was marveling at the house, some people couldn't help but shake their heads.
"What's a house? Although it looks luxurious, it's only three hundred thousand. Didn't you see the car next to the house? That thing is almost one million! It's worth three houses!"
Everyone couldn't help but wander around the Land Rover, the black paint reflecting everyone's envious, coveted expressions and gazes.
"Oh, the Jiang family is so prosperous. Just a house is enough to bring glory to the ancestors, and this car is even more unthinkable."
"We hope that Longcun will be able to produce such a big shot as the Jiang family boy. It will be a blessing on the face!"
"Wanglong Village, Wanglong Village, isn't this name just for the hope that a real dragon will appear in our village? I see, this guy Jiang Qiu is the real dragon of our Wanglong Village!"
The last person to speak was an old man in the village who used to be a teacher. Wanglong Village used to be called Xini Village, but later the villagers agreed that this name was too rustic.
So I asked Mr. Shu to change it to Wanglong Village.
Now that a real dragon has appeared in Wanglong Village, it is a very happy thing for most villagers.
Of course, two people were unhappy.
One is the village chief Zhang Youfu, and the other is naturally Wang Dao.
The two of them had a problem with Jiang Qiu, and now that they see Jiang Qiu getting along well, they feel more uncomfortable than eating cake!
Don’t ask them how they know it’s worse than eating cakes, because they’ve actually eaten it! The last Shitquan Tonic incident is an eternal pain in their hearts!
Although they were very unhappy, Jiang Qiu was now very popular in the hearts of the villagers and was more powerful than the village chief Zhang Youfu, so the two of them did not dare to act rashly for a while.
However, in their hearts, Jiang Qiu, who should be very happy now, is not very happy.
Because... people are rich and have many wrongdoings.
As soon as Jiang Qiu became prosperous, relatives who knew his name and even those he had never met came to visit him.
All of them were smiling and very amiable. Various uncles and uncles handed Jiang Qiu cigarettes and toasted him, and invited him to discuss some international situations, as if this could improve their relationship with each other.
Jiang Qinglian was not spared either. She was surrounded by some aunts and uncles chatting about some ill-informed parents.
If any outsiders saw this scene, they would probably envy Jiang Qiu's relatives for being so amiable.
But Jiang Qiu was extremely disdainful in his heart!
When Jiang's father and Jiang's mother were alive, relatives only had some contact with each other during the New Year. When Jiang's father and Jiang's mother passed away in an accident, the attitudes of these relatives immediately changed!
One by one, they came to attend the funeral in a hurry, burned two sticks of incense, and left in a hurry.
They looked indifferent, as if Jiang's father and Jiang's mother were strangers to them! They didn't even pay for the incense!
No one has thought about what Jiang Qinglian and Jiang Qiu will do after Jiang's father and Jiang's mother pass away. They are both students and do not even have the ability to support themselves.
Jiang Qinglian cried and called various relatives, planning to borrow some money so that the two siblings could finish their studies, and they would repay it double when they worked.
But no one paid attention.
Relatives who usually brag at the dinner table about hundreds of thousands or millions a year are as if they are temporarily bankrupt when borrowing money, and they can't even get out a single copper.
Just like Jiang Qinglian and Jiang Qiu starving to death on the roadside, it has nothing to do with them.
Later, Jiang Qinglian dropped out of school to work and borrowed loan sharks from Wang Dao, so she could barely support Jiang Qiu through college.
From beginning to end, none of these so-called relatives offered a helping hand.
But now, I heard that Jiang Qiu has become rich, built a building, and bought a luxury car, but everyone seems to have lost their memory, pretending that nothing happened, greeting him earnestly, and getting closer.
Jiang Qiu would only sneer inwardly at such a double-standard relative!
Until the banquet started, all the relatives gathered around Jiang Qiu and Jiang Qinglian, all of them were either talking eloquently or changing glasses.
Jiang Qiu squeezed Jiang Qinglian's little hand placed under the table. The two looked at each other and understood what the other was thinking.
These relatives coming all the way here are not just for a simple meal, there must be something else!
Therefore, Jiang Qiu and Jiang Qinglian have decided to unite in their hearts. No matter what kind of request their relatives make, they will reject it!
Sure enough! It was just as the two of them expected.
Halfway through the meal, an aunt put down her chopsticks with a smile, took Jiang Qinglian's hand and asked with a smile, pretending to be concerned.
"Xiao Lian, you are already twenty-one this year, right? You are not young anymore. Do you have a boyfriend?"
