All realms have enabled me to achieve the Great Dao.

"Sir, I have used up all the money from your two batches of goods. The jade, gemstones, and medicinal herbs I purchased are in the wooden boxes in the lobby," Han Chunming said.

“Okay, I understand. If you have extra money, you can also collect some high-quality jadeite. These things will be quite valuable in a few decades,” Zhou Yongcheng suggested with a smile.

"Since you say it will be quite valuable in the future, I'll have to collect some," Han Chunming said with a smile.

“I just saw that many shops have opened for business. Have there been any changes in the policies recently?” Zhou Yongcheng asked.

He noticed that many shops were open for business when he was on his way to the store, which meant that the reforms must have started.

Zhou Yongcheng learned from Secretary Zhao that the policy had been relaxed and that he could do business with confidence and boldness.

Furthermore, it was decided that the college entrance examination would be held in December.

It seems that reform has begun and the day of opening up is not far off.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Yongcheng told them to go about their business and that he would talk to them again once he had brought the goods.

Zhou Yongcheng returned to his hotel in the real world not long after he left.

After taking off his coat, Zhou Yongcheng sat on a chair in the room, pondering how to proceed.

Now that we're back, we'll procure supplies from Tonghuai from now on.

We need to set up a warehouse so that the purchased items can be stored there. Also, some items are not available in Tonghua and need to be transported from other places, and they also need to be stored in the warehouse after they arrive.

He put the things together so he could move them to the world below Zhengyangmen.

We can't rush the warehousing and procurement. Now that we've arrived in Tonghuai City, we definitely need to go back to the village first.

The next morning, Zhou Yongcheng bought dozens of cartons of good cigarettes and some gifts, and drove towards the village.

Zhou Yongcheng's hometown is Qingshui Village, Daba Town, Yinsi County.

Daba Town is located between Yinsi County and Tonghuai City.

Moreover, the distance from Daba Town to the city is not much different from the distance to Yinsi County.

It only takes about half an hour to drive from Tonghuai City to Daba Town, but it takes an hour or so to get to Qingshui Village.

Driving on the road, Zhou Yongcheng exclaimed that he hadn't been back for several years and the roads had been repaired so well.

The surrounding houses have changed from the original wooden houses to small villas and two- or three-story buildings.

The car exited the national highway and entered the county road. The county road was built in a similar manner to the national highway, and it was also very wide.

After leaving the county road and entering the rural road, the situation is slightly worse, but it's still much better than before. It's all paved with cement and can basically accommodate two vehicles.

Zhou Yongcheng recalled that a few years ago, this rural road was very narrow, making it difficult for cars to pass through.

It takes about twenty minutes to get from Daba Town to Qingshui Village. Zhou Yongcheng drove slowly, wanting to see how these villages have changed in recent years.

To enter Qingshui Village, you have to pass through Zhangjiazhai Village. Looking at the houses along the road, some of them are quite beautiful. It seems that the owners are doing very well outside, having built such nice houses.

Even if you build a house in the countryside, occupying a hundred square meters and having two or three floors, it would probably cost several hundred thousand yuan. A better house would cost several hundred thousand yuan.

Zhou Yongcheng remembers that there used to be very few houses along the roadside, but now almost everyone who has land along the roadside will build their house there for convenience.

The car drove past Zhangjiazhai Village and into Qingshui Village, which is named after a small river.

Qingshui Village is divided into several groups, and the group where Zhou Yongcheng's family lives is called Wuxi Group.

Looking at the changes in Qingshui Village, it was no longer the Qingshui Village he remembered; it had completely changed.

The car arrived at a three-way intersection in the village. There was a small shop there, and turning right at the intersection would take you to their group's location.

There were a few middle-aged people standing and chatting at the convenience store. Zhou Yongcheng glanced at them and recognized them, but couldn't recall their names. They were probably from the village, not from his group. He didn't stop his car to say hello.

The car passed a small shop, crossed a small bridge, and entered Wuxi Village.

Less than a minute later, Zhou Yongcheng saw ten households; this was the village where his family lived.

The car stopped in the valley, and Zhou Yongcheng got out and looked at the households.

Many wooden houses are gone; most of them have been replaced by brick houses.

Only a few wooden houses remained. Looking at the location of his house, Zhou Yongcheng realized that it was probably the oldest and most dilapidated house in the village. After all, no one had taken care of it for many years, and it was probably uninhabitable.

At that moment, a car horn sounded behind Zhou Yongcheng.

Zhou Yongcheng turned around and saw a Honda, which looked like an Accord.

The Honda parked behind his car, and a young man in his thirties got out.

"Yongcheng, you've finally decided to come back." Zhou Yongqiang said to Zhou Yongcheng with a smile.

Zhou Yongqiang was the son of one of his uncles, and was two or three years older than him.

"Brother Qiang, have you been staying at home the whole time and not going out?" Zhou Yongcheng took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to Zhou Yongqiang.

When I contacted him before, I heard that Zhou Yongqiang was working in Lingnan. Judging from the car he was driving, he seemed to be doing quite well.

"You've been wasting your life at home, while I've become a big boss, driving an Audi A8 and smoking He Tianxia cigarettes."

Zhou Yongqiang took the cigarette from Zhou Yongcheng and sighed that Zhou Yongcheng was doing really well. However, he had heard from his uncles that Zhou Yongcheng worked in the Jiangnan region, apparently in a factory. But looking at the car he drove and the cigarettes he smoked, he didn't seem like someone who worked in a factory at all.

"I only managed to make some money in the last two years, but the economic climate has been bad lately, so I came back."

"These past two years haven't been easy. Looks like you've only just arrived in the village. What are you looking at here?"

"I haven't been back for seven or eight years. Let's see what changes have occurred here."

"Things have changed a lot. Let's go back first and talk about it then."

The two got into the car and drove home.

Wuxi Group has dozens of households, but Zhou Yongcheng's group only has a dozen or so households on a slope. Other households are also scattered, with a dozen or so here and a few there, and they are basically not clustered together.

There are a dozen or so households in Zhou Yongcheng's area, and they are all close to each other, basically connected together.

The car drove directly along the road to the courtyard of Zhou Yongcheng's second uncle's house.

My second uncle's house is located at the entrance to the village. There is one house on the left, one on the right, and several more outside the courtyard.

My second uncle's house was also rebuilt; it has two and a half stories and is a standard rural-style brick house.

The courtyard of the house is quite large, about the same size as the house itself, and it's no problem to park five or six cars there.

A large yellow dog was barking at Zhou Yongcheng's car from under the eaves of the house.

It wasn't until Zhou Yongqiang got out of the car and yelled at Da Huang that it stopped barking and wagged its tail.

Hearing the dog barking, a woman in her forties came out of the house.

Zhou Yongcheng saw the woman and called out.

Second Aunt

Seeing the marks of time on his second aunt's face, Zhou Yongcheng sighed that time waits for no one.

Zhou Yongcheng remembers that his second aunt was very beautiful when she was young; among the women in the village, her looks were among the best.

"Yongcheng is back."

The second aunt was also extremely excited to see Zhou Yongcheng.

"Yongqiang, quickly call your uncle and tell him to come back soon," Auntie said to Zhou Yongqiang.

Zhou Yongcheng returned without notifying anyone in the village, and Zhou Yongkang, who was in Shashi, did not tell his family that Zhou Yongcheng was on his way back.

"What is Second Uncle doing?" Zhou Yongcheng asked.

"He's helping someone repair their house."

Zhou Yongcheng opened the trunk of the car and took out some gifts for his second uncle's family.

"Yongcheng, why did you buy these things? We're not strangers, why buy gifts when we come back to our own home?" Auntie said, somewhat displeased.

"Second Aunt, you're wrong. These things are a small token of my appreciation, so you can't refuse them."

After putting the things inside, the second aunt asked about Zhou Yongcheng's girlfriend.
