Chapter 18. To protect is to wait!



"Creak--"

Ah Chen, who had just entered the room, was stunned.

At this moment, the Miao women of eastern Guizhou and northern Guangxi are drinking and singing, but the songs they are singing are actually --

It turned out to be Guibei Lingnv Axi's.

Ah Xi was in the middle, performing the Miao dance with graceful movements.

The female guards provided accompaniment--

Duoduo was actually dancing alongside them.

It seems that Duoduo also enjoys playing this game with the guards.

Ah Chen saw that the room was full of girls. He originally wanted to clear out some space for the girls to play to their hearts' content, but who knew—

When A-Xi saw him, she quickly walked over and danced the Miao dance beside him.

As they danced, she pulled him to sit in the very center.

Seeing this, the girls smiled and continued singing the folk song that Ah Xi had just stopped.

Ah Chen watched with a smile, but was somewhat surprised.

Because Ah Xi is not only beautiful, her singing voice is even more beautiful.

Even his alcohol tolerance was enormous when he drank with Ah Chen.

This level of drinking capacity is comparable to that of the three girls, Amo, Ayun, and Aling.

She truly deserves to be called a spirit maiden!

"Brother Chen, why don't you have a few more drinks with Ling Nu?"

The girls teased him meaningfully.

Regarding the relationship between Ah Chen and Ah Xi, in this era, --

There are some things that everyone understands, but no one can say them out loud.

However, it was unfair to the spirit maiden.

A moment later--

The song ended, the dance was over.

The girls continued playing other games, but Ah Chen called the spirit girl Ah Xi to the side room.

"Ah Chen, would you like some tea or something else—"

"Never mind, sit down, let's chat for a while."

"Wait a minute, I'll go get a stove, otherwise it'll be a bit cold sitting here."

In less than five minutes, A-Xi came over carrying a small stove.

Seeing this, Ah Chen felt something different.

However, he didn't think about it that deeply, but instead asked directly:

"Axi, what's the situation in Guibei right now?"

Which aspect are you referring to?

"overall."

overall?

Axi sat down and looked at Achen, saying, "Compared to what the elders told you at the Miao New Year last year, things are slightly better now, and the lives of the Miao people have changed to some extent, but it still can't compare to this place."

As soon as she finished speaking, Axi beckoned to the guards in the main hall, signaling them to show Achen the most crucial part of the information.

“Ah Chen, take a look. The data here is from the Miao region of northern Guangxi over the past five years.”

Axi moved over and sat down next to Achen, pointing to the most important part of the data and explaining it to Achen one by one.

Ah Chen listened very carefully to the situation regarding the Miao people in northern Guangxi.

Before we knew it, almost an hour had passed since Ah Xi started talking.

After listening, Ah Chen frowned deeply.

Although he knew that Guibei was still poor, he did not expect it to be even more unsatisfactory than he imagined.

But in this era, we are limited in every aspect.

"Ah Chen, that's basically the situation!"

Seeing Ah Chen frown, Ah Xi quickly said, "But don't worry, the species you had the elders bring back last year for the Miao New Year are already showing results. Give me some more time, and I'm confident I can give you a different kind of Miao land in Guibei."

Upon hearing this, Ah Chen looked up at Ah Xi beside him, and while tending to the charcoal fire, he said:

“Development is not something that can be accomplished overnight. The real rise of northern Guangxi will have to wait until after 1999.”

"After 1999?"

"Yes! Firstly, there's the issue of time, and secondly, most of the funds are currently in the stock market."

"In addition, during my time in Gangcheng, Amo told me about the situation on your side. I also looked at the map of the Miao region in northern Guangxi. Sometimes I would think about this matter when I had a spare moment. Based on other factors, we do have to wait."

After a pause, Ah Chen continued, "It's not just northern Guangxi, but western Yunnan as well, but the amount of work in western Yunnan is much larger than in northern Guangxi."

"So, when you girls gather together next year, we'll discuss the overall development of the Miao people again."

Discussing the overall development of the seedling industry?

Hearing Ah Chen's words, Ah Xi felt relieved, but she still said:

“Achen, you are the future ruler. You can make the decision yourself. There is no need for discussion. No matter what decision you make, I dare not speak for other Miao regions, but in Guibei, we will definitely obey the Miao orders.”

"And I... will always protect Guibei for you and make sure the Miao people live a good life."

Ah Chen waved his hand and laughed, "Ah Xi, you are not so arbitrary. You are spirit maidens from various places, so you naturally know the local Miao region better than I do. Your opinions will be very important to me at that time."

When Axi heard these words, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Sensing Ah Chen's earnestness, she smiled and nodded, "Okay! I'll listen to you—"

"By the way, when Amo contacted you, didn't she tell you that she needed a more detailed topographic map of northern Guangxi?"

"Oh, I brought it."

Because Ah Chen specifically requested this map, Ah Xi carried it with her herself.

When Achen asked about it, she immediately took it out.

Ah Chen took it, glanced at it, and then said, "You guys should get some rest tonight. You'll be coming into the mountains with me starting tomorrow. We'll talk about the rest on the way."

"good."

"Duoduo--"

Ah Chen called Duo Duo over, "After you've finished playing, take Sister Ling Nu upstairs to sleep."

“Brother, don’t worry, sister-in-law told me everything on the phone.”

Even so, Duoduo's little eyes kept darting between Achen and Axi.
