    "Today's young people are really amazing. Look at how old the little girl at Yipin Fish Restaurant is. She has so much courage. She dares to invest so much money in our Yuwan Village." Tao Haisheng sighed.

    "Yes, compared to them, we are really old. If they hadn't come over to expropriate our land, I would have just cultivated my few acres of land safely," Tao Guitian said.

    The villagers of Yuwan Village come out to watch the excitement every day. This kind of scene is really rare these days.  However, in the era of mass production, there were even bigger scenes than this.  At that time, laborers from several communes were working on a reservoir together, and the scene was no smaller than this.  But at that time, there were even fewer tractors than the luxury cars on the road now. There were only a few tractors running back and forth in a huge reservoir.  And at that time, tractors were precious things, and they could only pull items that were far away.  For example, the transportation of earthwork depends entirely on manpower.

    When the reservoir was being built, hundreds of people stood in a line and passed the earth bags one by one.  At that time, we carried forward the spirit of Foolish Old Man to Move Mountains and completed large reservoirs one after another.  If it were not for the water conservancy construction at that time, farmland in many places would not be able to be planted at all.  Therefore, in this era, many people slander that era, but many people in rural areas still have the great leader's portrait on their homes.  The common people have a weighing scale in their minds regarding merits and demerits.  Carrying out infrastructure construction is different from carrying out face-saving projects. It is not easy to achieve a sensational effect and may even hinder development. However, if it is done solidly, it will be beneficial to future generations.

    "This scene is really lively! It was even more lively than when the production team was repairing the reservoir. At that time, although there were many people and loudspeakers were played, it was still louder than the noise produced by the dozens of large excavators and bulldozers on the ground.  Look at that hillside, it was flattened in a short time. If it were put to the production team, it would have taken at least half a month." Tao Haitao sighed.

    "Well, you have to touch the yellow shale soil. Otherwise, you won't be able to chew it down for a month, and you have to set off cannons. When the production team was there, a few of us in the mountain village were lame when we set off cannons." Tao Guitian  said.

    The life of the village cadres in Yuwan Village is relatively easy. The introduction of such a large project in Yuwan Village is a very prestigious thing in the town, the county, and even the city.  If Yipin Fish Restaurant can be built.  In the future, Yuwan Village will be a star village.  Even if it can't afford it, Yipin Fish Restaurant must pay a large amount of rent to Yuwan Village every year in accordance with the contract.  The village's funds are much richer than before.

    Tao Chengwan is already thinking about how the village will spend the money after it gets it.  It¡¯s time for the village primary school to be transferred to the local government.  The location of the village primary school.  It is also within the land acquisition scope of Yipin Fish Restaurant, so Tao Chengwan plans to build a brighter and more impressive primary school on the reserved place.  Tao Chengwan has also heard of landmark buildings.  Tao Chengwan plans to build the village primary school and the village headquarters together to become a landmark building in Yuwan Village.  Children come first.  Tao Chengwan thought to himself.

    "Secretary Cheng Wan, maybe this fish restaurant can really be launched. But the investment is really not small. Where do these young people get so much money?" Wu Bihua said.

    "Director Wu, do you still think they can't build it? You haven't gone to Qiantang City to see the fish restaurant they built. If you had, you wouldn't say that. Let me tell you, they have one in Qiantang  There are more than ten branches. Every branch is crowded with people every day. I won¡¯t talk about anything else in the future. Even if we open a branch here, many people will come here. Do you think they can do it? "

    Tao Chengwan made a special trip to Qiantang to learn about the situation of Yipin Fish Restaurant. He was not simply looking at Jiangbian's face. After all, this was a major event related to the livelihood of more than a thousand young and old men in Yuwan Village.  After a visit to Qiantang, Tao Chengwan made up his mind to introduce Yipin Fish Restaurant.  They are different from those chemical factories and gutter oil factories.

    "Really? I heard from my nephew who works in Qiantang that the fish in that fish restaurant is very delicious. I don't know how it is cooked. It is much more delicious than any star hotel." Wu Bihua  said.

    Li Yueji has never worried that the Yipin Fish Resort will not be built. She looks at the huge plan of the Fish Resort not far away, and her heart is filled with excitement.  She would consider Yipin Fish Resort as her most satisfying achievement.

    It¡¯s not because of the riverside that Li Yueji is so interested in Yipin Fish Resort.  In fact, Jiangbian is not so glorious that the world revolves around him.

    No one is another person's appendage.  True love is the fusion of souls, rather than one person becoming a subsidiary of another.  This kind of truth is naturally not something that Jiangbian's level of education and wisdom can comprehend.  But Jiang Bian knew that having such outstanding women as his confidants was God's preference for him.

    Jiangbian has no way of knowing where Yuwan Village will be.No matter how much he changed, he didn't have the heart to care about the unexpected affairs in Banshan Village.

    "Would you like a cigarette by the river?"

    From the moment Jiangbian walked out of Banshan Village, Jiangbian's status in Banshan Village began to rise. People who looked at Jiangbian sideways began to say hello to Jiangbian. When they smoked, they also considered Jiangbian.  Yes, even though Jiangbian doesn't smoke, people in the village always ask Jiangbian this question when they smoke.

    Jiangbian¡¯s biggest concern now is to erect a monument for his adoptive father. This is a pet peeve of his. The tomb without a monument looks a bit small in the mountain.  Just like the low house in Jiangbian's past, it has become a symbol of Jiangbian and his adoptive father.

    "Hey, may I ask, where is King Turtle's family?"

    "It's right there. Well, the shortest house has an adobe house on one side. This is the only bungalow in the village."

    Back then, when people from other places came to Banshan Village to buy turtles and asked for directions, the villagers would always answer like this.

    The house has been repaired, but the stone monument has not yet been erected.  Jiangbian was worried. During the Qingming Festival, someone asked King Turtle which tomb was where.  Others will say, "Well, that tomb without a monument belongs to King Turtle."

    Every day Jiangbian would go to the grave hill and sit there for a while. Jiangbian would erect the stone tablet weighing a thousand kilograms, and then look left and right.

    The characters on the stone tablet are not very complicated, and even Jiang Bian, who only went to elementary school, can understand them.  After reading the inscriptions engraved on the stone tablet, Jiangbian felt much better.

    "Old man, I have renovated the house at home. You can go home and have a look when you have time. People say that when an old man passes, he will send dreams to his family. Why don't you send me a dream? I have had a poor memory since I was a child, and my grades have been poor.  No good. Be careful, after two years, I will forget your appearance." When Jiang Bian said this, his eyes began to turn red.

    "The monument will be erected here tomorrow. Wait for the fish to build a new house for you. The year you went there, the family didn't have much money, and the coffin was a little short of shape. I didn't dare to disturb you, and I won't change it for you. I can give it to you.  You should change your appearance to a better one," Jiang Bian said.

    "Don't you like drinking? I'll bring you a bottle of good wine every day. It's the rare stuff you were nagging about before. You can try it slowly." Jiang Bian poured the wine in front of the grave in a very serious manner this time.  It¡¯s not like before, when the sacrifice is over, you take it back and drink it yourself.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? but the old hen that was brought over was not kept by Jiangbian. It was not because Jiangbian was greedy, but because he was worried about being eaten by the dogs.  If you say this, it won¡¯t sound good.  It¡¯s easy to get confused. Should it be given to the dog or to the adoptive father?

    Jiangbian¡¯s reputation is much better than before. He is kind, filial, and profitable. He is simply the embodiment of a perfect man.  It has nothing to do with the Jiangbian who couldn't marry a wife.  There are even families with daughters who are so sorry that their intestines are sore.  How wonderful it would be if I could marry my daughter to Jiangbian?  This man is like a stock, the more it rises, the more people will buy it.

    Erecting monuments is as important as keeping up with Liang Liang. It is a big event in rural areas.  There are a lot of trivial things to prepare for, but with Jiang Laosi and Jiang Fengshi, Jiangbian doesn't need to worry about these things.

    The so-called monk is actually not a monk, but a person who specializes in practicing Buddhism in Yuwan Village. People in the village are used to calling him monk.  In fact, he is very different from a monk because he does not abstain from anything.  Still marrying a wife, still drinking and eating meat.  He had just killed a rooster at his house in Jiangbian. When he returned, the rooster was one of his thank you gifts.

    The riverside has become more prosperous. When the monument was erected, many more people from the village came to see him off than when King Turtle passed away.

    When the monk was offering sacrifices, he muttered some words and knelt down in front of King Turtle's grave by the riverside.  The surroundings were full of onlookers.

    Jiang Bian, who was kneeling there, suddenly had a thought in his mind, "Oh no, that old vine daddy is not enough."

    Jiangbian never expected that so many people would come, so he didn¡¯t prepare too many old vine cakes.  He measured five liters of rice at Jiang Fengshi's house and thought it was a lot.  Take some to the cemetery and eat the rest for a few days.  But I didn't expect that my identity now is completely different from that of back then.

    When Jiang Fengshi saw that something was wrong, he hurriedly said to his mother-in-law, "Hurry back and get some cigarettes. There are so many people here today. The old vine cakes we brought here are definitely not enough. They are not even enough to make cigarettes. You  Go back quickly and get the cigarettes. It should be almost done."

    Jiang Laosi and Jiang Fengshi did the same thing.  As a result, Mrs. Jiang Laosi and Mrs. Jiang Fengshi returned home together.

    By the river, the monk toiled for more than an hour, with his knees covered with dirt, before he erected the tombstone.  The tombstone of his adoptive father was erected, and Jiang Bian felt much more at ease.  A stone hanging in my heart finally landed safely on the ground.

    The villagers from Banshan Village also came to watch.After reaping the benefits, each person took a pack of cigarettes and returned home happily.

    Jiangbian waited for everyone to leave, but he still stayed there. He dug some turf in the nearby mountains alone, attached it to King Turtle's grave, and re-piled King Turtle's slightly sunken grave.

    One person worked for more than an hour before he piled his adoptive father's grave high.

    Jiangbian patted the dirt on his hands and said with satisfaction, "Dad, are you feeling more comfortable here? I'll see you again later." ()
