The old lady, Zhou Yi's mother, covered her mouth and laughed: "Big brother, this shows that the country values you!"
Do you think the country won't spend manpower and resources? It's not like you're the only one enjoying this treatment.
Even leaders in higher positions than you don't have as much freedom as you. You should be content!
Amidst their laughter and conversation, they arrived at their destination half an hour later.
Looking at the low hills and mounds along the roadside covered in lush greenery, and the crops in the fields thriving, the harvest season is just around the corner.
"The crops in the fields are growing really well this year, and the peanuts from Jiaodong are the most famous! Look, that whole area is a peanut field!"
Zhou Yi's father couldn't help but lean out the window and look into the field. "Honey, your eyesight is really failing you. Isn't that a field of sweet potatoes?"
The old lady objected, "Even if my eyesight is bad, I'm not blind. I can't even tell the difference between peanuts and sweet potatoes."
I worked as a farmer in the fields when I was young; those were clearly Jiaodong peanuts.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Xiao Xue had the best view. He looked around and couldn't help but chuckle, "Both of you leaders, you have good eyesight and you didn't see wrong either."
Peanuts are on the left side of the road, and sweet potatoes are on the right!
Uncle Zhou Yi burst into laughter, while Zhou Yi's parents chuckled sheepishly, "I knew it! I'm not so old and blind that I can't tell the difference between peanuts and sweet potatoes!"
"Distinguished leaders, we have arrived. Yujia Village is just ahead. The village hotel is in front of the villas at the west end of the village."
As they talked, they drove through the village and parked the van directly in front of the hotel, having arrived at their destination.
Xiao Xue quickly opened the door and got out of the car. "Leaders, please wait a moment. I'll go check in."
Xiao Xue was the first to enter the hotel; it just so happened that the village chief was on duty today.
After checking their identification, I realized that the guests who had booked rooms had arrived, so I quickly recorded their information and helped them check in.
With the driver's help, the three elderly people unloaded their luggage from the car.
The village chief quickly called on Xiao Feng and Wang Xin's mother in the restaurant to help carry the luggage.
After a flurry of activity, the three elderly people finally entered the room.
This is a three-bedroom, one-living room, two-bathroom suite. Although it's not very big, it's big enough for the four of them.
Zhou Yi's mother walked around the house and quickly divided the rooms into their respective rooms.
The master bedroom is 20 square meters, with a two-meter-wide bed, wardrobe, bedside table, writing desk and dressing table, and a separate wet and dry bathroom. It's just right for her and her husband to live in.
The second bedroom is a bit small, with a 1.8-meter bed. The wardrobe, bedside table, and computer desk are small but complete.
The bed in the small bedroom is 1.5 meters wide, and there's only a small wardrobe and a computer desk, but it looks quite comfortable.
All three bedrooms have wooden floors, white walls, and air conditioning.
The living room isn't big, but it has a TV, air conditioner, sofa, and a shared bathroom. There's also a large tea table in the corner.
Electric kettle, purified water, tea set and tea leaves are also prepared.
Uncle Zhou Yi stayed in the second bedroom, while Xiao Xue stayed in the smallest bedroom.
They all packed their own luggage, took their clothes out of their suitcases and hung them in the closet.
With the help of Wang Xin's mother, Zhou Yi's mother had already started boiling water.
"You can eat at the restaurant for three meals a day. There are two dishes provided free of charge for each meal, which can guarantee basic food and you won't have any problem eating your fill."
If you'd like to order more dishes, you can do so; our hotel has fresh vegetables and seafood.
The village chief was giving a brief introduction to the hotel to the guests when his gaze fell upon the fishing gear brought by several guests.
"Oh, you guys are sea fishing enthusiasts too! That's even better. You only need to pay a ten-yuan processing fee for the fish you catch, and the restaurant will cook it for you."
If you have a good catch, our restaurant will buy your fish at market price.
However, the guest rooms only have hot water; you can't cook your own meals. If you need anything, you can go to the restaurant and ask my wife; she's in charge of the food.
“Okay, we understand. We definitely won’t cook for ourselves.” Xiao Xue stepped in to negotiate with the village chief.
Zhou Yi's father was delighted, "You can even recycle the fish catch? That's wonderful!"
With our fishing skills, you might not only fail to make money off us, but you might even end up paying us for our catch!
The village chief smiled broadly at his confidence, "That's wonderful! We bought the fish, and you made money. It's a win-win situation, everyone benefits, and everyone is happy!"
"Then you can rest for a while, and you can go to the restaurant for lunch at 11:30."
The village chief said he led Wang Xin's mother away, and the three elderly people finished packing their luggage and sat down to rest in the living room.
The elementary school student picked up a teacup, took a sip, and smelled it. "The tea in the shop where the leaders work tastes pretty good. Should we drink this tea, or the tea we brought ourselves?"
On Monday, I brought the tea box close to my nose and smelled it. "This tea looks like Rizhao Green Tea, doesn't it? People in Jiaodong love to drink the local green tea."
This tea looks good; let's brew a pot and try it! When in Rome, do as the Romans do. We're staying here for a while, so trying the local specialties will be a great experience.
As the tea leaves unfurled in the boiling water, a fragrant aroma wafted over, and they all felt thirsty.
