We arrived so quickly.
Bai Lu greeted Xiao Weiluo Shiliu and the others, then went to pick them up.
"Does your sister-in-law have to work even on her days off?"
Xiao Wei held a small hoe in one hand and a bamboo shoot in the other, watching Bai Lu's departing figure with reluctance.
Luo Shiliu flicked his little head with his finger: "Big brother and sister-in-law need to make a lot of money~ otherwise how will they support you and your little nephew in the future!"
"My little nephew..."
Xiao Wei's long-dormant thoughts suddenly resurfaced, and he stared intently at Luo Shiliu: "Big brother and sister-in-law have already registered their marriage, so they're going to have a little nephew, right?"
"When will he be born? I want to prepare lots of delicious food and fun things for my little nephew."
Luo Shiliu felt like he had shot himself in the foot: "Well..."
“My sister-in-law is still studying, so it may take a while. Your brother can’t bear to see her working so hard, having to go to school and take care of the children at the same time.”
The little guy's face immediately fell.
Luo Shiliu raised an eyebrow slightly, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "But you never know, anything can happen. What if my eldest brother and sister-in-law are the unexpected one?"
Given that Luo Shiliu's signature smile was too unusual, Xiao Wei decided to believe him halfway.
“Then let’s go dig up more winter bamboo shoots and make more delicious and nourishing dishes and soups to help my sister-in-law recover. Grandpa said that once my sister-in-law is fully recovered, my nephew and niece will arrive.”
Luo Shiliu paused in his bamboo shoot digging, as if he had heard something incredible.
It was an expert's prediction!
"Little flower, let's go dig over there! There are poisonous mushrooms all over here!"
Xiao Wei glanced at Xiao Dazhuang and Shang Chuyao, who had switched from digging for bamboo shoots to picking mushrooms not far away, and decisively nodded in agreement with Luo Shiliu's suggestion.
Shouldering a small hoe.
He picked up his little basket and followed Luo Shiliu.
Luo Shiliu, carrying a hoe and shovel, and with a large bag of freshly dug winter bamboo shoots on his back, distanced himself from the honest man who openly displayed his affection for his elderly wife in broad daylight, disregarding the life and death of the widowed.
The two, one big and one small, had only taken a few steps when they encountered a small figure suddenly emerging from the bushes.
"Xiaowei, Sixteenth Brother, I know where there are more and bigger winter bamboo shoots. Come with me."
The people who know the mountains best are none other than the locals. They dig every year and every now and then. Sanwazi is definitely the best guide to finding the best places to dig for winter bamboo shoots.
However, Luo Shiliu was genuinely surprised that the little guy didn't side with his family but instead sided with Xiao Wei.
Then we see the two little ones carrying baskets on their backs, holding small hoes, walking side by side.
Luo Shiliu immediately understood.
"No wonder this seems so familiar! This is something that Cheng-ge, Abiao, and I used to do all the time when we were kids!"
"Hey bro, that's interesting!"
At the entrance of Xiaojia Village, Bai Lu, Xiao Guofu, and Li Hongying greeted distinguished guests who were public officials from the Provincial Tourism Bureau.
Leader of the Policy and Regulations Department: ***.
Leader of the Quality Standards Management Department: Jiang Guozhong.
Leader of the Tourism Planning and Development Department: Wu Zhenglong.
In addition, two accompanying public officials took photos with cameras for archiving, and three recorded data by hand for archiving.
In 1992, the State Council designated tourism as a key industry within the tertiary sector, and corresponding policies and funding to support tourism development were also distributed to the finance departments of various provinces to vigorously promote the development of the tourism industry.
In recent years, most of the tourism cities supported by G Province are forest cities and coastal cities. Southern cities are more focused on industry, commerce, and entertainment, and do not pay much attention to tourism or make any plans for it. The subsidies are just a token gesture in the capital city.
This year, Bai Lu, who follows the news from the Provincial Department of Finance, discovered that new support policies were coming and new support funds had been allocated to Nanshi. She then discussed with Xiao Cheng about asking Yang Chuantang to act as a go-between and invite leaders to conduct on-site inspections in the countryside.
We will strive to secure a quota for tourism industry support and development.
"Greetings, leaders. You must be tired from your long journey. Please have a cup of tea to soothe your throat."
Bai Lu poured tea for the three leaders, who gladly accepted, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Comrade Bai Lu. The tea is very fragrant."
Li Hongying and Xiao Guofu, who were pouring tea for the other five public officials, had received instructions from Bailu before receiving the guests, and were told to stay calm while pouring the tea.
Bian explained in a natural and simple farmer's tone: "These are all the first batch of early spring tea picked from our own mountain, brewed with spring water. They can't compare to the famous and expensive teas outside. I hope the leaders don't mind."
Xiao Guofu's simple and unpretentious introduction surprised the leaders slightly, but they quickly showed expressions of satisfaction.
Pre-Qingming tea – a fine tea to serve distinguished guests.
Spring water is best for brewing tea.
They don't boast or belittle other teas while praising their own; they are simple and honest farmers.
After tasting it carefully, Jiang Guozhong nodded slightly and praised, "It's smooth on the palate, sweet and fragrant, with a lingering sweetness and refreshing taste. It's a good tea."
The other two leaders also nodded in approval.
Xiao Guofu and Li Hongying breathed a sigh of relief and stepped aside; they had been incredibly nervous.
Shuangshuang stole a glance at Bailu and saw that the girl was calm and composed, talking to the leaders with neither servility nor arrogance. Her words and expressions were all proper, generous, humble and polite, as if this was not the first time, and she was able to deal with the official leaders with ease.
Xiao Guofu and Li Hongying felt nothing but admiration and respect, and also relief that Xiaojia Village had experienced the White Dew solar term.
May everything be accomplished, may everything be good.
When dealing with the official forces brought by Li Chengbin, Bai Lu had a dignified way of resolving the confrontation.
When dealing with leaders who are handling important matters, Bai Lu has a formal, proper, and generous way of interacting with people.
There is nothing that White Dew cannot accomplish; with White Dew, everything will be auspicious and everything will go smoothly.
Not only is Bai Lu good at receiving leaders, but when she accompanies them to the mountains for inspection, she has also mastered the terrain, features, and tourism planning advantages of Xiaojia Village.
He began by saying in a clear and melodious voice: "Xiao Family Village is surrounded by mountains, with green hills and clear waters, and the scenery is delightful."
"To the east is a waterfall, and downstream is a lake with rippling blue water. The grass on the riverbank by the lake is fresh and green. When the mountain breeze blows, the grass bends. A little shepherd boy lies on Niubei Mountain, looking up at the sky and singing folk songs..."
"Cattle and sheep graze freely, occasionally bleating as they graze. It's a beautiful, pristine natural landscape that can help weary tourists relax, feel the gifts of nature, enjoy the fresh air and gentle breeze, and forget about work and life's troubles..."
When Bai Lu introduced the natural scenery, the leaders of the tourism bureau were standing on the eastern hillside, in an excellent position.
Looking down, one sees rice paddies that have already been irrigated and are about to be planted in the spring; the water is so clear that the muddy bottom can be seen.
On the lawn by the lake, herds of cattle and sheep graze. A young shepherd boy lies on the back of a cow, humming a tune. The melodious folk song drifts on the wind, winding around the towering green mountains.
Like the beautiful landscape depicted by ancient poets: the sky is vast, the fields are boundless, and the wind blows the grass low to reveal cattle and sheep.
A gentle breeze caresses the face, dispelling all the weariness of travel, and so all worries disappear.
Leaders like Bai Lu, having truly experienced the breath of nature, then began to articulate their plans in detail.
