90s: Koi beauty reborn and became rich

Uncle Zhang patted the bamboo fence in his hands and said helplessly to Chen Xia, "Who can this bamboo fence stop? Look over there, those impatient tourists have already gone around the riverbank!"

Village chief Chen Xia scratched his head anxiously.

He knew that although these makeshift fences could serve as a warning and a barrier, they could not fundamentally prevent the enthusiastic people from going up the mountain.

He shouted to the crowd on the riverbank: "Hey, you guys on the riverbank! Listen to me!" Chen Xia couldn't help but raise his voice, trying to attract everyone's attention.

"I know everyone wants to go up the mountain to pick grapefruit, but we must ensure everyone's safety. The mountain road is not easy to walk on. I hope everyone will come early tomorrow, line up early, and go up the mountain in an orderly manner."

There was some noise from the crowd, some people agreed, while others urged impatiently.

"We are still repairing and maintaining some sections of the road on the mountain, and some places are still unstable. For everyone's safety, please follow our arrangements and go back today." He continued to shout in a hoarse voice.

However, his persuasion did not seem to have much effect, the crowd was still pressing forward, and some people had even begun to cross the fence and start climbing the mountain.

Chen Xia quickly grabbed the person closest to him and said, "Hey, big brother, the mountain is really crowded today. How can you climb over the fence? It's too dangerous!"

"Uncle, you forgot about me. I'm Chen Feng. Oh! That's... Chen Gousheng!"

The "big brother" Chen Xia mentioned patted his shoulder and said, "Uncle, I haven't seen you for a few years. You are still the same. You haven't changed at all!"

Yes, Chen Feng is Chen Xia’s distant nephew.

The two hadn't seen each other for years, ever since Chen Feng had been sent out to serve in the army. Chen Xia still remembered Chen Feng as a skinny teenager, while Chen Feng, having weathered the storms of military service, had grown tall and strong.

Chen Feng has been busy selling grapefruits these days. Although he wanted to go to Chen Xia's house, he never had the time. Now, he ran into them directly.

"Gou... Sheng? Gou Sheng?! You've really changed, I almost didn't recognize you!" Chen Xia was surprised and delighted. He patted Chen Feng's shoulder, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he smiled and said, "Didn't you go to the army? When did you come back?"

Chen Feng smiled brightly, "Uncle, I just got back and I just took a job hauling pomelos from our mountain. I've been so busy that I haven't been home to see you and aunt yet. When I finish hauling this batch of pomelos today, I'll definitely come home and have a few drinks with you."

"Okay, okay. Our house hasn't been lively for a long time. After you finish pulling the pomelo, come to our house for dinner tonight. You must go. I'll ask your aunt to cook a fresh fish." Chen Xia was even happier when he heard this.

After all this fuss, it turns out they are from the same group, all serving the grapefruit on the mountain!

Chen Feng deliberately teased: "Uncle, we are a lot of people, five grown men, all of us can eat a lot!"

"Look at what you said. We are family and we have no different opinions. Our house can afford to feed 10 more of you. Come on! Go in! Take the pomelo away quickly and don't delay the important business." Chen Xia said with a smile.

Everyone knows that it is a busy time now, and he dare not delay Chen Feng's work. This is the most important thing in the whole village right now!

Chen Feng got in smoothly, but the people behind him were not happy.

"Why can he go in? We want to go in too! The mountain belongs to everyone, why shouldn't we be allowed in..." Some people began to complain.

Chen Xia smiled bitterly again.

It sounded like these tourists were indeed complaining, and he was a little annoyed. Why wasn't the road repaired earlier?

Well, now I want to invite people to play in the mountains, and even want to "order" them to help pick grapefruits, and you are starting to get anxious now?

If you want the cow to work, don’t you have to make sure it’s well fed and watered first?

How can it be so easy to "order" people around without wanting to satisfy their needs?

However, even though he felt annoyed and regretful, why did he feel a little happy in his heart?

What is this feeling... He couldn't describe it.

I just have a vague feeling that those hard days are about to end. The opportunity for the whole village to get rich has come, and the opportunity for the grapefruits on the mountain has come...

The more Chen Xia thought about it, the more excited he became!

I laughed out loud accidentally.

No matter what, you have to seize the opportunity when it comes!

No, after the tourists leave, tonight, tomorrow night, and the next few nights, even if we have to go without sleep or food, we must repair the mountain roads, the bridges over the river, and all the places that the little girl suggested last time. Repair them carefully! Repair them thoroughly!

necessary!

Chen Xia made up his mind secretly, and then he continued to comfort and persuade the tourists.

So that night, when Zheng Donggen found his old home and came to look for Yi Congxin, it was already past 10 o'clock in the evening.

The "bang bang bang" knocking sound on the door scared Yi Congxin and Xin Yu, who had just fallen asleep. Even the old man ran out of his room.

Yi Congxin saw that the person who came was Zheng Donggen, and then looked at his face, which was exhausted but also full of joy. She felt relieved a little and hurriedly persuaded the old man to go back to the house to rest.

At around 10 o'clock in the evening of midsummer, the sky is dotted with stars, the heat gradually dissipates, and the leaves sway gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound. The small courtyard looks particularly beautiful in this quiet night.

The three of them sat on the stone bench in the yard and started chatting.

Yi Congxin gently handed a cup of honey grapefruit tea to Zheng Donggen and said, "Brother Zheng, you've worked so hard. Look at your hoarse voice. Drink some tea to moisten it up."

Zheng Donggen took the teacup without saying a word and drank the huge cup of grapefruit tea in one gulp.

His tone couldn't conceal his excitement. "You really should go to the mountain and see. The tourists are practically snatching up the grapefruits! The grapefruits on the mountain are really saved now! We can also maintain our delivery speed!"

Although his voice was a little hoarse due to excitement, it still couldn't hide his inner excitement.

Seeing Yi Congxin's eyes light up, Zheng Donggen continued, "Those tourists' eyes lit up when they saw the pomeloes. They all rushed to pick them, fearing they wouldn't get enough. I've never seen such a lively scene!"

Yi Congxin smiled happily, and even Xin Yu's mouth corners curled up.

Zheng Donggen smiled excitedly. "It's not just the tourists. I think Village Chief Chen is also very capable. Just to ensure that more tourists can go up the mountain safely tomorrow, he actually mobilized the entire village to repair the road overnight! Oh, by the way, Chen Feng is staying on the mountain tonight. He was still working when I got here. If I hadn't wanted to rush back to tell you, I wouldn't have planned to come back tonight!"
