After waiting for more than 20 minutes, a police car arrived, and Chen Xihua and Chen Chunhua prepared to leave.
"Hello, classmate. May I ask your name? My name is Zhong Qian, you should know that."
When Zhong Qian saw the police car arrive, she quickly ran to Chen Xihua's car window and asked gratefully.
"My name is Chen Xihua, and this lady driving is my eldest sister. My third sister is Chen Meihua, and she was your high school classmate." Chen Xihua smiled slightly and introduced herself casually.
This is also a way of repaying her for the care and help she gave her third sister back then.
Chen Chunhua smiled gently: "Hello, Zhong. I am Chen Chunhua. We have met once before."
It wasn't until quite some time after Chen Xihua and her sister drove away that Zhong Qian reacted. She was both excited and speechless, completely stunned.
It turns out that the very pretty girl from earlier was Chen Xiaowu.
The person Huo Shao is looking for seems to be someone he wants to thank, as Chen Xiaowu saved or helped Huo Shao.
Now that Chen Xiaowu has helped her, shouldn't she also try to repay his kindness?
Chen Xiaowu is such a kind, smart, and beautiful girl.
The big truck driver who just passed by didn't want to get involved.
But those two young girls dared to lend a helping hand to me.
He's such a good person.
That sultry Chen Meihua is so lucky to have such a sister.
No wonder Chen Meihua used to often refer to her younger sister as "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu".
Zhong Qian also wanted a younger sister like that, but the image of her younger brother Zhong Qi, who only cared about studying, appeared in her mind, and she suddenly felt a little disgusted.
However, this year's college entrance examination results came out at the end of last month, and my younger brother scored 605 points, which is somewhat useful as he applied to a key university in Beijing.
——
On August 7th, at 8:00 AM, Chen Xihua and her sister returned to the territory of the Southern Province.
They stayed at a hotel along the road at 6:30 last night and rested early for the night.
Both of them woke up feeling great this morning, and the scenery outside was also quite nice.
In the morning, the clouds and mist swirl around the rolling mountains, bringing a sense of tranquility to the soul.
Chen Chunhua has also become much more skilled at driving, increasing his speed from 65 km/h to 75 km/h.
This speed is considered normal for driving on a national highway. Mainly because there are relatively few vehicles on both sides of the road at this time.
After driving for about an hour, a large lake appeared on the right side of the road.
Chen Xihua estimated that the lake was about 1,000 mu (approximately 67 hectares) in size, and there were many people fishing on the shore.
Because she hadn't noticed the natural lake on her right side of the road before she arrived, as it was on the other side.
Looking at the lush green lake, she instantly became interested.
"Hey lady, stop the car, let's watch other people fishing."
"good."
Chen Chunhua slowly stopped the car and parked it on a grassy area of about 200 square meters, about ten meters away from the side of the national highway.
It looks like a parking lot specifically for anglers.
There were already several motorcycles and a small truck at this spot.
The two sisters had just parked the car and got out.
Ahead, at the intersection of a county road or village road, a man in his forties or fifties riding a bicycle and wearing a straw hat appeared.
He pedaled his bicycle a few times and stopped in front of the two of them.
"Young ladies, are you here to fish too? It's ten yuan for four hours, and you can take whatever fish you catch." The man had dark skin, and his large white teeth were very noticeable when he spoke.
"Uncle, we're just taking a look. Do you own this lake?" Chen Xihua asked politely with a smile.
“Oh, no, this lake belongs to our village collectively. My surname is Wang, and I am the village committee director of Lehu Village,” Director Wang replied simply.
He was somewhat surprised, as he rarely encountered such a young girl in their village, Lehu.
On weekdays, it's mostly older men who come here to fish in their spare time.
Judging from what the little girl said, she seemed very interested in Lehu Lake in their village, and he felt a little excited.
"Isn't there anyone who wants to specifically contract out fish farming or something like that?" Chen Xihua asked tentatively.
Upon hearing this, Chen Chunhua frowned slightly, a hint of helplessness on her face, but she didn't interrupt and just watched quietly.
What is Xiao Wu up to now?
"Contracting it? Yes, but our lake is over 1,100 mu, and most people can't afford to contract it."
"And wealthy people don't want to contract here; it's a bit remote," Director Wang explained frankly, without hiding anything.
"Is that mountain behind the lake also part of your Lehu Village?" Chen Xihua listened attentively, then nodded to indicate that she knew. She then looked up slightly and casually asked, gazing at the end of the lake.
"Yes, that mountain is called Lesong Mountain. The mountain is mainly covered with guest pines. Although they are not the welcoming pines, they are still very beautiful."
"There used to be people living at the foot of the mountain, but now they've all moved to the sides of the lake or closer to the main road," Director Wang said with a touch of nostalgia.
"Hmm, how big is that mountain?" Chen Xihua's interest grew even stronger.
"Around two thousand acres, young lady, are you looking to contract this lake?" Director Wang sensed something was amiss, but wasn't sure.
These two girls drive an expensive car, but their clothes are simple: the girl is wearing a floral shirt and black pants.
And some young people from the village who go out to study or work also dress like this.
"Director Wang, could you please give me your village's phone number?"
I work for a tourism company, and my job is to find tourist attractions in various places for development.
I am quite interested in this lake and that mountain.
But I have to go back and inform the company's leaders first. It will take a comprehensive consideration before a decision can be made, so it probably won't be that quick.
After all, this place is indeed a bit remote.
Chen Xihua spoke casually, but with a hidden meaning, indicating a hint of interest.
"Young lady, although our village is far from the city center, the roads are accessible, and the environment is beautiful, with clear waters and lush mountains." Upon hearing this, Director Wang was very excited and hurriedly began to promote the village.
Is this an attempt to develop tourism in their village? If so, their village's economy could be boosted.
“Young lady, normally, contracting mountain land costs more than 300 yuan per mu per year, and can be leased for 20 to 80 years. But here, it doesn’t cost 300 yuan.”
"Okay, thank you. I'll try my best to talk to the boss." Chen Xihua appeared to be doing her job diligently, but then shook her head as if unintentionally, with a slightly troubled expression on her face.
She glanced at her older sister, then turned to leave.
"Young ladies, how about I take you over there to take another look?" Director Wang said somewhat anxiously.
Actually, it wasn't that no one had come to see this lake before, but many investors felt that there was little point in developing it.
Moreover, the location is remote and the area is not very large, so it's neither here nor there.
Nowadays, many young people from villages are heading to big cities.
They yearn for the bustling traffic, bright lights, skyscrapers, vibrant world, and lively prosperity outside.
“No need for now, I’ll just write down your village’s phone number. If our boss really has any ideas, we’ll send someone over to investigate.” Chen Xihua took out her phone and then looked at Director Wang questioningly for his number.
After Chen Xihua got the phone, she and her older sister said goodbye to Director Wang and left.
Director Wang, who remained where he was, had hope in his eyes, but he didn't hold out much hope.
