With the passage of time, the current Sandaliang Village is no longer what it used to be.
Especially since the reform and opening up, when Longyao Group entered the country, Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian had given Xu Fei and others tasks more than once, asking them to invest and build as much as possible around Sandaliang Village.
Thus, a small village surrounded by mountains and with a total population of less than 200 people, with the help of Longyao Group, became a wealthy village famous throughout the entire administrative office.
Agriculture, breeding and tourism are currently the pillar industries of Sandaliang Village.
Even when Longyao Group signed the agreement with the administrative office, it specifically contracted several large mountains near Sandaliang Village and signed a 50-year contract.
As the contract came into effect, Xu Fei and others directly sent professionals to conduct investigations and planning, and distributed the contracted mountain land to the villagers as needed.
Today, Sandaliang Village has a road connection. Although not every family has a car, every family lives in a two-story building.
All the dirt roads in the village have been paved with cement.
For elderly people like Li Dashan in the village, the village has established a nursing home with the help of Longyao Group and invited many professional caregivers from the administrative office, so that the lonely elderly people in the village can have a place to rely on and be well cared for in their old age.
If we were to ask which family in the village still maintains the same house it had decades ago, it would only be Xu Jianguo's.
Ever since Xu Jianguo left the village, their old house has remained in its original state.
Even though the house has been uninhabited for many years and is a bit dilapidated, the villagers still provide money and manpower to help with repairs.
Moreover, the plaque of the home of the first-class meritorious official is still hanging there as it was back then, and looks as good as new.
It was more than half an hour later when Xu Jianguo and the villagers greeted each other one by one.
However, they did not rush back to their homes. Instead, accompanied by Li Mancang, Li Erniu and others, they went straight to the nursing home in the village.
When Xu Jianguo saw the 95-year-old Mr. Li Dashan, his nose suddenly felt sore and he raised his hand to salute him.
Seeing this, Li Dashan immediately returned a military salute.
It's just that because of his advanced age, and the hidden illness he suffered on the battlefield, although it was cured by Xu Jianguo at the time, it still has a significant impact as he grows older.
So the old man performed this military salute while sitting in a wheelchair.
But despite this, the old man's mental state is still very good. In his own words, he can eat and sleep well, and drink one or two glasses of wine every day. He is very content with this kind of life, which he would not change even if a god came.
Zhao Changshan and Liu Yang, who came with Xu Jianguo, were immediately in awe when they learned that the old man was a veteran who participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Together with Xu Zhengyang, Hu Xiaohui and Xu Aiwen, they solemnly saluted him with a standard military salute.
(Lele is a captain in the Navy Medical Corps, and Hu Xiaohui is a lieutenant in the Army, the head nurse.)
Because Xu Jianguo and his group arrived at Sandaliang Village in the afternoon, it was already dark when they came out of the nursing home.
And because there were so many of them coming this time, the Xu family’s old house definitely couldn’t accommodate them. Fortunately, Shi Tou informed his father in advance.
In addition, in order to develop the tourism industry, many families in the village have opened farmhouses, so everyone, including Xu Jianguo, directly booked the largest farmhouse among them.
But when Xu Jianguo offered to pay, the villagers who ran the farmhouse immediately became unhappy and claimed that if they dared to accept Xu Jianguo's money today, their entire family would be drowned in the saliva of the whole village tomorrow.
But Xu Jianguo would definitely not take advantage of this. Seeing that there was no other way, he had to cite the order from his superiors, saying that if they stayed in the farmhouse for free today, it would be a violation of military discipline and they would be punished when they returned.
And this punishment will not only be imposed on himself, but also on five active-duty soldiers including his two children and guards and communicators, who will be severely punished.
Seeing that Xu Jianguo's words were so serious, the villagers were suddenly at a loss. In the end, they called Li Mancang and Li Erniu, who were busy preparing dinner at home.
After listening to what happened, the two looked at Xu Jianguo and saw him wink at them. They then understood what was going on and began to persuade the owner of the farmhouse to collect the money normally.
When the boss saw that the two people in the village who were closest to Xu Jianguo had spoken, he stopped being pretentious and agreed directly.
The Xu family’s first dinner after returning to the village was still at Li Mancang’s house.
Because the conditions in the village have improved, Li Mancang's family also built a two-story building, so even though there are many people, there is still room for five tables on the first floor.
In addition to the families of Li Mancang, Li Erniu and Xu Jianguo, respected elders in the village like Li Dashan were also invited.
The dinner dishes were very rich, which whetted the appetites of Lin Hongtao, Lin Hongxia, Li Xiangdong, Xiao Hongdou and others who came to the village for the first time.
Halfway through the dinner, Xu Jianguo started talking about Shitou and Funiu's marriage.
In response, Li Mancang slapped his thigh, picked up his glass and clinked it with Xu Jianguo, then began to express his position: "As long as Funiu wants it, and we have it at home, take it all!"
Xu Jianguo naturally knew that Li Mancang and Zhang Meijuan were satisfied with Fu Niu, and he also knew that he said this to express his family's importance to Fu Niu.
