Chapter 377: Chapter 377: There’s a Situation
Li Zhi became excited as soon as he heard the news.
The new residences were all stylish villas!
Before, even dreaming about such a thing was unthinkable, but since Xia Liu’s return, everything had become possible!
The villagers working at the winery burst into celebration upon hearing the news about moving into the new residences.
They had worked hard all their lives and could finally live in homes they had only seen on TV.
This news spread quickly throughout the village, and in the afternoon, the villagers stopped working and went to Xia Liu’s house in groups.
If Xia Liu hadn’t strongly objected, they probably would have all knelt down.
“Everyone, don’t get too excited. The new residences are just the beginning. I want to make Osmanthus Village the wealthiest and most powerful village in the world!” Xia Liu shared his dream in front of everyone.
“Hahaha! I Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform.
When Xia Liu had first returned, Zhang Tie had almost messed up his current and future life because of Zhang Xiaoxue’s issue.
Now, whenever he thought back, his eyes would become a little moist.
As Zhang Tie’s wife, Mo Li felt even more bitter. She had always been the one manipulating Zhang Tie to oppose Xia Liu from behind the scenes.
She instigated Zhang Tie to spread bad rumors about Xia Liu and instructed him to poison the Osmanthus chickens on the hillside.
Thinking back now, what had she been doing?
“Zhang Tie, it’s not just you who Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform.
Gu Yi watched all of this in silence. Looking at Xia Liu’s slender yet powerful silhouette, his heart was filled with warmth.
His daughter was following such a young man; the ancestors of the Gu Family must have blessed them.
“Everyone, take a look and prepare yourselves. In three days, we move into the new houses,” Xia Liu said with a smile after the noise from the villagers had diminished a bit.
“Yeah, we do need to prepare. After all, we’re used to living in earth houses, so suddenly switching to a new one will mean letting go of many things.”
“Let go of what crap, Old Wine. If you don’t want to move, just keep staying there.”
“Who says I’m not moving? My son needs the new house for his wedding.”
“Whoa, Xiao Hu is getting married? When did this happen?”
The moment Old Wine mentioned his son getting married, some of the young people immediately got excited.
They were around the same age as Xiao Hu, and this guy had taken a step ahead of them. How infuriating.
“Xiao Hu, you tell them!” The young people pulled Xiao Hu out to question him.
“Don’t get excited, guys. Jingxue and I have only agreed tentatively; I still don’t know if she’s willing to marry me…”
Xiao Hu said with a helpless wry smile.
“Damn! It’s actually the captain!”
“Xiao Hu, you’re quite something!”
“Damn, this guy beat us to the punch!”
“Can’t blame Xiao Hu for this one. When Captain Jingxue arrived, why didn’t you show off your grandeur?”
A young man recounted the embarrassing incident of Xiao Hu’s first time on the fishing boat, and the entire village burst into laughter.
They all knew something about it.
Xiao Hu’s face instantly turned red. What the hell, everyone knew about it…
“Haha! Don’t laugh at Xiao Hu, the guy has a girlfriend now.”
“That’s right, Xiao Hu is your role model, young men.” Li Dazhuang followed Xia Liu’s lead in advising the village’s youth.
“Hey, we’re not mocking him, we’re too busy envying him.”
“Yeah, Xiao Hu is younger than us. If I were still full of vigor, I could snag one of the new beautiful captains too.”
Listening to the young men’s complaints, Xia Liu smiled slightly, “Hehe, there’s no need to hurry, everyone. What’s meant to be won’t escape you, and what’s not supposed to be yours won’t come no matter how much you force it. Everyone, go back home, we’re moving into our new homes in three days!”
“Xia Liu, about moving into the new homes, let’s have a village feast and invite all our relatives and friends over for drinks and celebration.”
“That used to be the tradition; Uncle Li, just see to it.”
“Alright, I’ll arrange it.” Li Zhi nodded, this time he could finally make those relatives who looked down on him envious!
Not only Li Zhi but all the villagers harbored this thought, wanting their relatives to truly envy them.
A few months ago, when Osmanthus Village was still the poorest village in the county.
Those relatives wouldn’t even give a second glance.
When visiting for New Year’s, if they saw one’s clothes a bit tattered, they wouldn’t even let one in the door.
Now, everyone in Osmanthus Village can hold their heads high!
Of course, their primary thought wasn’t to show off; after all, they were relatives.
At the moment, the village has enough hands, but as development continues, it won’t be long before many people will be needed.
If those relatives are willing, there will be jobs for them.
Li Zhi shared his thoughts with Xia Liu, who agreed wholeheartedly.
If the villagers are tired, or as they age, it’s much better to hand things over to relatives and friends than to outsiders.
But this also depends on the person. Xia Liu understands Li Zhi, and if he were to judge people, he’d be absolutely accurate.
Not only the village will be short-staffed, but soon, when the Eastern District, the industrial area, opens, that will be a significant staff shortage.
Having relatives and friends introduced to work and earn money is definitely great.
Following Li Zhi’s plan, in three days, the village feast will be set up in the center of the village.
By then, a few hundred people should be arriving, and the current Osmanthus Village could easily accommodate them.
Before nightfall, Xia Liu and Gu Fangxia wandered hand in hand in the villa district.
Entrusting this project to Gu Fangxia was the right decision.
Not only did she handle the decoration and everything perfectly, but she also got all the household appliances.
If she went a step further, she might even have bought clothes.
“Sister Gu, meeting you is truly my fortune.” Back in his own villa, Xia Liu remarked with emotion.
“Oh, it’s my fortune… and where is your hand going…”
“Weren’t we supposed to continue studying the Cultivation Technique tonight? We still have some time now, let’s hehehe…”
It was past eight o’clock in the evening when Xia Liu and Gu Fangxia came out of the villa.
“It’s all your fault; you made me late!” Gu Fangxia complained with a pout.
“Hehe, I’ll drive you there,” Xia Liu said with a slight smile, opening the car door for Gu Fangxia.
After Xia Liu dropped Gu Fangxia off for her reunion and Cultivation Technique study session with the girls, his phone rang.
It was Glasses calling, and Xia Liu, puzzled, answered, “Brother Xia Liu, there’s a situation.”
“Hmm? Who’s coming?” A crimson light flashed in Xia Liu’s eyes. The timing was perfect; it was time to make an impression on the Underground World.
