Chapter 157: Some Leave, Some Return



After receiving the "gift", Huo Qianli smiled and said, "It's so late, why don't you rest for a night before leaving!"

Xia Wanqing nodded, "Okay!"

Huo Qianli, who was just trying to be polite, said:......

The surprise lasted only a moment, and he smiled, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements. Let's have some farm food tonight and experience the completely different night scene in the countryside."

"That's easy!" Xia Wanqing stood up and walked to Huo Qianli with elegant steps. "It's still early for dinner. Take us for a walk. We were in a hurry last time and didn't have a good look. Do you mind?"

She was talking to Huo Qianli, but her eyes were looking at Jiang Qingyue.

Jiang Qingyue smiled slightly, "Mr. Xia, you are too polite. I am a guest from afar. You can go for a walk. I will arrange dinner and accommodation."

Xia Wanqing nodded, "Thank you."

A few minutes later, Huo Qianli, Xia Wanqing, Yuan Xiangling, and Liu Xiaoyu walked on the village road.

Xia Wanqing is elegant and noble, Yuan Xiangling is free and easy, and Liu Xiaoyu is youthful and energetic. They look at the scenery of Hushan Village, and they are also the scenery in the eyes of others.

Some brave ones even wanted to go up and chat with them, but then they saw the man walking next to the three people.

Officer Huo, that’s fine. We can’t afford to offend you.

Yuan Xiangling looked at Huo Qianli and said, "Alright, stop looking so miserable, as if the three of us are going to eat you! Don't worry, we are not interested in you anymore!"

Huo Qianli smiled and said, "No, I was wondering how the villagers would spread this matter tomorrow."

Xia Wanqing smiled faintly, "It's okay. We don't come here often anyway."

Huo Qianli:.......

Then he turned his head and looked at Liu Xiaoyu who was also snickering, "Sister Xiaoyu, why are you laughing? Do you think you can get away?"

Liu Xiaoyu shook her ponytail proudly and said, "I don't care!"

The village of Hushan is a typical Shuzhou forest area, a small area with trees, water and arable land, with three to five to seven or eight households.

The clear canal flows, the green bamboos are shaded, and the houses are looming, which is quite beautiful in terms of composition.

But the bumpy roads and dilapidated houses drag the ethereal beauty back to the cruel reality.

Yuan Xiangling sighed: "Alas, our country is really too backward. The villages abroad are not only beautiful, but also economically developed. We are left with only poverty and backwardness."

Huo Qianli raised his eyebrows. "Poverty and backwardness are historical reasons, and they are also the current situation we are striving to change. This vast and mysterious land has accumulated thousands of years of civilization, which is no worse than that of foreign countries. As long as there is an opportunity, it can still be full of vitality."

"Tsk!" Yuan Xiangling's contempt was brief and straightforward.

In this era, the moon is still rounder in foreign countries. Even though Xia Wanqing and Liu Xiaoyu are relatively more patriotic, we have to admit that the gap is huge. Foreign countries are still our role models.

Even in the eyes of many people, it is the end of struggle.

"Don't believe it?" Huo Qianli picked a bamboo leaf from the bamboo forest beside the road and smiled. "Let me put it this way. I have just stayed in this village for more than a year. I didn't need to study hard. I just learned a lot of amazing skills by osmosis."

Yuan Xiangling was slightly startled, and Liu Xiaoyu whispered in her ear: "Don't believe him, I know what he does every day better than he does himself!"

Xia Wanqing also smiled and said to Yuan Xiangling: "You are really naive. You believe this!"

Then he looked at Huo Qianli and said, "You won't be taxed if you brag, right?"

"Sister Wanqing, you are underestimating me! In this case, I will show you my skills!"

Huo Qianli looked around and then saw a child chasing a big white goose in a yard next to the bamboo forest. An old man holding a pipe was happily guarding him. He closed his eyes, counted with his fingers like a charlatan, pointed at the lively big white goose, and said seriously: "This goose will die today."

Yuan Xiangling laughed so hard that she fell backwards. "Haha, you're so boring!"

Xia Wanqing, who was used to the formalities and politeness in the business world, was a little speechless. "You didn't use this to woo the beauty in your village, did you?"

Liu Xiaoyu pursed her lips, "When did you learn to tell fortunes? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Huo Qianli smiled and said, "The secret cannot be revealed."

No one took it seriously as a minor incident and continued walking for a while. Huo Qianli acted as a diligent tour guide and introduced them to many interesting stories about Hushan Village. The eyes of the three girls from the city lit up when they heard them. Even Liu Xiaoyu had never heard of many of these stories.

When it was getting dark, Huo Qianli led everyone back the way they came and passed by that yard again.

In the yard, the old man was sitting on a small stool, holding a killed goose, blanching it in a bucket of boiling water, and plucking its feathers.

The three women turned their heads at once and looked at Huo Qianli, with suspicion, shock and even fear in their eyes.

"Fuck...how did you calculate that?" Such a direct question was obviously coming from Yuan Xiangling.

Because of their respective experiences, Xia Wanqing and Liu Xiaoyu naturally had more experience and insight. They subconsciously felt that something was fishy, but they couldn't figure out the reason, and they were curiously waiting for Huo Qianli's answer.

"Do you think the five thousand years of civilization is playing a joke on you?" Huo Qianli just smiled proudly and said, "Let's go, let's go back and eat."

Watching Huo Qianli's quickly departing back, the three women looked at each other suspiciously and followed silently.

Dinner was arranged by Jiang Qingyue, Gu Daqiang and Tang Yuxuan. Tang Yuxuan paid for it out of his own pocket and went to the town to buy a lot of food and drinks. He then helped design several farm dishes with a reasonable combination of meat and vegetables. He set up two tables at Gu's house and invited the crew as well.
