Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

Chapter 440 Happy Ending

Now that the Flower-Bearing Village is getting bigger and bigger, when people in the nearby villages who have daughters learned that they were going to have another wedding at the end of the year, they all beat their chests and stamped their feet in regret, wondering why they didn’t think of this good thing?

If my daughter could marry there, she would be able to enjoy a life of luxury! The houses built in their village, as well as the village workshops and fields, would mean she could live a completely wealthy life if she married there.

It is not too late now. The matchmakers in the nearby villages have all set their sights on the boys and girls in their village, and the new Lai siblings and Yang Chuan are the main focus.

However, the Lai brothers and sisters had just arrived and did not plan to start a family so soon. They wanted to make money and settle the house before talking about other things.

There are still a few houses left that were built previously, but the Lai brothers and sisters have just arrived and have not made any contribution to the village. It is impossible to give them houses for free, so they have to rely on themselves.

Father Liu told both Lai Yi Yang and Yang Chuan about this matter. Father Liu gave them a cost price of 180 taels per house, and they could buy it as long as the two of them raised enough money.

The two had made some money with Cheng Cheng in the state government before, but apart from daily expenses, there was not much left. Lai Yiyang and Yang Chuan also took on the creation of the Journey to the West comics together. Lai Yiyang did not take care of anything, accounting for 20%. Yang Chuan was the main force, accounting for 50%, and Liu Xiaolu drew pictures, accounting for 30%.

During these three months, they released two volumes of comics every month, and made a small profit in three months. After deducting the cost, Lai Yi Yang got 80 taels, Yang Chuan got 200 taels, and Liu Xiaolu got 120 taels.

There are still thirty or fifty taels left as operating funds for next year.

The money Yang Chuan had was enough to buy a house, and Lai Yi Yang and his sister also raised enough money to buy a house with their income from the clinic and their previous savings.

The two families drew lots among the remaining four houses. Yang Chuan drew room number four and Lai Yi Yang drew room number thirteen.

At this point, only Room 9 and Room 14 were left in the townhouse.

However, when Liu's father was building the market, he also built a modern-style residential area next to the market. When the time came, all of the houses were fully decorated and could be sold to people who joined later, or distributed to people who made contributions to the village. They gradually adopted many orphans.

If the village wants to develop better and better, it will definitely need more and more people. The village has received these orphans. The boys will definitely get married and start a family in the future, so they all need their own houses.

Mr. Liu is preparing for a rainy day, so there is nothing wrong with building more houses.

When Liu's father built the house, he also considered the issue of water use. If there was no electricity at that time, he would have taken water, electricity and gas into consideration.

The new community was a little bigger, so Liu's father discussed with Zhu Lei and Sun Zeyuan and built a large manure pit. These are all natural fertilizers, which are perfect for irrigating the fields on the back mountain.

On the day of the wedding, the dam became lively again.

Liu's father invited people from nearby villagers to help, after all, it would take a lot of manpower to hold a banquet.

Village Chief Ma: "Congratulations! You have a triple blessing this time! The village is also developing better and better!"

Village Chief Lu: "Yes, Mr. Liu, thanks to your village, the nearby villages are also working together. The villagers have something to do and have some income, which improves their family conditions and makes their lives better. Thank you very much!"

Father Liu: "You two village heads are too polite. Come sit in the dam for a while. There are wedding candies and wedding cakes here. Let's enjoy the festive atmosphere."

"congratulations!"

The two village heads brought their families to the dam and found a table to sit down. On the table was a plate of wedding candy and a plate of wedding cakes, which contained various cakes and candies produced by the food factory.

Not long after, Luo Hong also brought his colleagues from the government office back to the village. Luo Hong had worked in the government office for a while and had long since become friends with these colleagues. The new prefect was the previous chancellor, and he also thought highly of Luo Hong.

Father Liu: "Master Li, welcome, welcome. I apologize for not welcoming you from afar. Please take a seat. Old Luo will make sure to entertain Master Li well."

Prefect Li: "Master Liu, you're welcome. Congratulations! It's a triple blessing. The village is now bustling!"

Father Liu: "Thank you, Lord Li, for taking the time to come visit us. It really brings honor to our humble home. I hope you will drink a few more glasses of wedding wine to share in the good fortune."

The banquet was very lively and felt like a modern banquet.

With the arrival of Governor Li, the atmosphere on the entire dam became more lively.

The villagers gathered around, wanting to catch a glimpse of the new prefect, and at the same time expressed their sincere congratulations to Luo Hong for being given an important position in the government office.

Children were running around and playing among the crowd, laughing from time to time, adding more joy to the feast.

Luo Hong led his colleagues to their seats one by one. They were dressed in neat official uniforms, with smiles on their faces. They chatted cordially with the villagers without any official airs at all.

From time to time, Luo Hong introduced to his colleagues the customs and habits of several nearby villages, as well as the development and changes in recent years after the villages began to grow potatoes and peppers, and his words were full of pride.

"Sir Li, look at the villagers in our villages, they are hardworking and simple, and they live a rich life. This is all thanks to your good governance, which allows our small villages to enjoy the blessings of a peaceful and prosperous era." Luo Hong raised his glass to toast Governor Li, his words sincere.

Governor Li smiled and replied, "No, no, this is all the result of your own efforts. I am just doing my duty. I am also very pleased to see your village so prosperous. Come, cheers!"

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, the villagers began to perform cultural and artistic programs written and directed by themselves on the dam.

There were just some crazy dancing and spinning around, and mostly boys showing off, which drew applause and laughter from the crowd.

Father Liu specially arranged something to liven up the atmosphere, and there were also wedding ceremonies for three couples. Father Liu specially invited a famous matchmaker from the neighborhood to preside over the ceremony.

The wedding banquet was a great success. After lunch, Liu's father invited a troupe of actors to perform on the dam. The huge crowds of people made it a spectacular sight.

When night falls, lanterns and torches are lit on the dam, illuminating the entire village as if it were daytime.

The villagers were still not satisfied and sat around the fire, continuing to share their stories and joy with each other.

Luo Hong and his colleagues were discussing the future development plans of the village with village heads such as Liu's father. They all agreed that they should seize the current good momentum to further promote the economic and social development of the village.

This grand banquet not only deepened the friendship between Luo Hong and his colleagues, but also made the villagers feel the care and support from the government office.

They believe that with the joint efforts of Governor Li, Luo Hong and others, their village will surely usher in a better tomorrow.

Finally, as the night deepened, the guests reluctantly said goodbye and left. Peace returned to the dam, but the joy and warmth remained in everyone's heart for a long time.

Just as quiet and peaceful as their days.

There are more and more people in the flower-growing village, and new lives are being welcomed into the families one after another.

After Zhonghua Village became famous, more and more fellow villagers came to seek refuge here. Regardless of whether it was real or not, they were willing to give it a try just for the peaceful life in this place.

The orchard on the back mountain was getting better and better. Two years later, the orchard finally welcomed its second flowering and fruiting period. The first flowering and fruiting period was not satisfactory. The flowers looked good, but the fruits were indeed not delicious.

When Liu's father officially opened the market, the orchard and rapeseed fields were not very famous at first. It was the farms and food processing factories that brought popularity to the market.

By the third year, Huaguo Mountain had become famous. No one knew who came up with the name Huaguo Mountain. Originally, Liu's father named it Huaguo Mountain Villa, but as the name spread, it became Huaguo Mountain.

Maybe it’s because there is a Flower-Fruit Mountain in the Journey to the West comics. When Liu’s father named it, he just wanted to take advantage of the popularity, but he didn’t expect that he really succeeded.

Since then, Huaguoshan Market has become a famous trading place and tourist destination in southern Zhongzhou, and more and more businessmen and students come here for sightseeing.

The imagined peaceful days finally arrived.

There are always some bumps and bruises in ordinary life, this is the ideal life!

No need to worry about making a living, no need to run for survival.

There is something to do, a home to return to, children are around, and the elderly are in good health!

Gradually, their village and the nearby villages became prosperous, and all of their careers also developed better and better, but they still kept a low profile.

Gradually, married families had children one after another, and the population became more and more prosperous. As time went by, the children in the family grew up slowly. Some of them passed the imperial examinations and became officials, while others followed their families into business.

Lin Keyu and Liu Xiaolu came together naturally, and after marriage they had two sons and a daughter. Liu Caixia did not allow her to have any more children after she gave birth to her daughter, as it was always bad for a woman's health to have too many children.

Lin Keyu passed the imperial examination and applied to be the county magistrate in a county under Nanshan Prefecture. He slowly climbed up step by step, and of course he had to make connections. In the end, he became the prefect of Nanshan Prefecture. At that time, he was almost fifty years old, and his grandchildren were all grown up.

Liu Xiaolu took over the family business. Her father and mother passed away one after another when she was in her forties. They were all over 86 years old, which was considered a long life. When they left, they divided up the family belongings, and of course most of them were left to Liu Xiaolu.

When Lin Keyun grew up, he also took the imperial examination. Lin Weizhong told him about his life experience after he became sensible. Over the years, Lin Weizhong and Liu Caixia treated him very well, and treated Liu Xiaolu and Lin Keyu the same. He had no feelings for his parents who abandoned him. In order not to make things difficult for Lin Weizhong and Liu Caixia, he studied hard. After making a career for himself, he took the initiative to ask for no family property. Lin Weizhong knew what he was thinking and did not force him. After he decided to stay in the prefecture to assist the young prince, he gave him two houses and two shops in the prefecture again. Finally, he married the prince's granddaughter, and everything went smoothly afterwards.

Liu Caiyun lived with Liu Xiaomei and ran her pastry and snack shop. She found a son-in-law for Liu Xiaomei. Liu's father would take in some orphans every year for training. She chose one with good character to accompany Liu Xiaomei. They grew up together and got along smoothly. Although he was a son-in-law, she did not require the child to have the surname Liu. Anyway, one of Liu Xiaolu's two sons already had the surname Liu.

The family lives their life in harmony.

Everyone has their own destination, and when they are a hundred years old, the next generation will be the real indigenous people. They can only create a good environment for their descendants, and how to develop it depends on themselves.

However, according to some family precepts set by Liu's father and his family, as long as one is not a very evil person and lives an honest life according to the rules, nothing will go too badly for them.

When Liu Xiaolu passed away, only Luo Junning and Fang Chenhao were still alive. The childhood memories of these three children were already very distant.

Looking at her two old friends and her descendants kneeling on the ground, she closed her eyes peacefully.

Luo Junning could not even remember anything from when he was three years old, but in his memory, his brothers and sisters like Liu Xiaolu, Lin Keyu, and Fang Chenhao were always different from others.

As time passes and times change, Huaguo Mountain cannot escape being submerged in the torrent of history.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with the dead. When a person dies, it is like a light going out. It doesn’t matter from one generation to the next. Whether it is Liu’s father, Liu Caixia, or Liu Xiaolu, they can only accompany someone for a while. No one can accompany you for a lifetime.

It’s enough to live your life well.
