Before long, Liu Village came into view.
The once neatly arranged low-rise houses have now been replaced by rows of exquisite three-story villas.
White walls and black tiles, flying eaves and brackets, European-style balcony railings and Chinese architectural style are cleverly integrated, creating a unique flavor.
The village pond has been renovated and is now crystal clear. Lotus leaves cover the surface, lotus flowers are about to bloom, and fish swim and play underwater.
Along the pond, weeping willows sway gently, their slender branches dancing in the wind like green ribbons.
Walking along the village road, you can see that the village's feng shui layout has a special meaning, which is in line with the power of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.
In the center of the village is a spacious square, surrounded by pine trees and bamboo. In the center of the square is a Tai Chi symbol.
The lush hill behind the village resembles a natural armchair, embracing the entire Liu Village.
Liu Feng and Yu Jingya brought Long'er and Feng'er to their grandfather's house, where Old Man Liu and Fang Shuxiang were already waiting at the door.
"Great-grandfather! Great-grandmother!" the twins called out sweetly.
The old man was so happy to see the two adorable children skipping and jumping towards him that he wiped away tears.
Around noon, cars began to drive into the village.
The first to arrive were Liu Xingju and his family, who drove a brand-new BMW X5.
Now, the third brother has shed his youthful frivolity. After the eldest brother handed over the management of the county's entertainment center to him, he has become much more stable and reliable.
Speaking of Third Brother's marriage, that's quite an interesting story.
He met his third sister-in-law at an internet cafe. She was beautiful and came from a well-off family; her father was the director of the county hospital.
At first, the third sister-in-law's parents looked down on the third brother, this "prodigal son," and firmly opposed the marriage.
But with his silver tongue, Third Brother would shower Third Sister-in-law with sweet words all day long, winning her over completely. As a result, she became pregnant out of wedlock and was determined to marry no one but him.
When his third brother got married, Liu Feng was practicing at Qingfeng Temple and did not return home to attend the wedding. He rarely participated in the formalities and social interactions of the world.
The wedding was organized by the younger brother, Liu Changqing. Since the younger brother was rich, he naturally held a grand and lavish wedding.
It wasn't until then that the third sister-in-law's family realized that the third brother had such a strong family background and wasn't just a playboy.
The moment Third Sister-in-law saw Liu Feng and Yu Jingya, her eyes lit up.
The man was handsome and dashing with an extraordinary temperament, while the woman was gentle and beautiful with a lovely face, looking incredibly young.
Looking at Long'er and Feng'er, their eyes were bright and clear, revealing a cleverness; Feng'er was well-behaved and cute, with rosy cheeks and two dimples that appeared and disappeared when she smiled, making people want to kiss her.
"Oh my, these two children are so adorable!" Third Sister-in-law couldn't help but praise, squatting down and gently pinching Feng'er's cheek.
Liu Changqing's Mercedes-Benz arrived shortly after, attracting the attention of the villagers. His uncles and their families also arrived one after another.
In an instant, the entire Willow Village became lively and bustling.
A commotion suddenly arose in the courtyard. There came the sound of the second brother walking in, arm in arm with an elegant woman.
"Sister Ziyan?" Liu Feng was surprised to recognize this old friend.
In recent years, the second brother has made great strides in his career. He led the development of the South City project and completed it perfectly. His political achievements are outstanding and his official career is going smoothly. As a result, he won Liang Ziyan's heart.
I heard that my second brother will soon be promoted to the provincial level, and his future looks bright. Nowadays, my eldest and second brothers are well-known figures in Xianshan County.
The eldest brother is busy with the development of Dongcheng again. The construction site is bustling with activity and the machines are roaring. He has also expanded his business to the city, taking on many large projects. His wallet is getting fatter and fatter, and he is living a prosperous life.
Inside the house, grandfather, grandson, uncle, and nephew sat together, chatting about everyday life, reminiscing about the past, and lamenting the changes of time.
In the courtyard, Liu Lanlan watched a group of children playing and laughing, and was occasionally amused and burst into laughter.
The little ones would run out the door to chase dragonflies around the pond, or play hide-and-seek under the trees, having a great time.
In the kitchen, Xia Guihua, the eldest sister-in-law, and her aunt and uncle were all wearing aprons and busy at work.
The sounds of chopping vegetables, stir-frying, and laughter mingled together, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
On the stove, plates of delicious-looking dishes were served one after another, filling the dining table with tender fish, bright green vegetables, and golden scrambled eggs.
At this moment, Liu Feng looked around, his heart filled with emotion: a prosperous family and a stable life—this was enough.
Liu Feng stayed in Liucun for two days, enjoying the long-lost rural atmosphere.
Early that morning, Liu Xingman took Liu Feng to several places, introducing the results of their hard work over the past few years as they went.
“Look over there,” Liu Xingman said loudly, pointing to a cluster of modern buildings in the distance.
"The logistics center, which was just built last year, now handles 70% of the freight traffic in Dongcheng District."
Turning a corner, he pointed to the other side: "That commercial street opened three years ago, and now it's the most bustling area in the county. Restaurants, hotels, cinemas—it has everything."
Looking at his elder brother's radiant appearance, Liu Feng couldn't help but laugh, "Brother, you're much more energetic now than when you were working in the fields."
“Of course,” Liu Xingman laughed heartily, patting his younger brother on the shoulder. “Which of us Liu brothers is content with the status quo? But in the end, we still have to thank you, fourth brother.”
As they were talking, Liu Feng's phone vibrated. The words "He Tiantian" flashed on the screen.
As soon as the call connected, I heard a clear voice on the other end: "Cousin! You've been back for days, why haven't you come to see me yet?"
"I was just about to head over," Liu Feng replied with a helpless smile.
"Hmph, then hurry up!" He Tiantian said coquettishly, "Long'er and Feng'er both said they miss me, it's all your fault."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Feng greeted his older brother and then went to the He family home with his wife and children.
The once peaceful and prosperous residence for celebrating the Lunar New Year is now vastly different from what it used to be.
Liu Feng noticed that there was a faint aura above the mansion, which was difficult for ordinary people to detect, but as a cultivator, he could tell at a glance that it was the condensation of the family's prosperous fortune.
As soon as the car came to a stop, a purple figure rushed out of the gate.
"Cousin!" He Tiantian rushed towards Liu Feng, who had just gotten out of the car, like a gust of wind, almost knocking him off balance.
At seven or eight years old, she had already grown into a graceful young lady, but her lively spirit remained unchanged.
"Sweetie, you're such a big girl now, yet you're still so impulsive," Liu Feng said with a smile.
He Tiantian made a face, turned around, squatted down, and opened her arms: "Long'er, Feng'er, come and let Auntie hug you!"
The two children cheered and rushed into her arms.
Yu Jingya walked over with a smile, and He Tiantian immediately let go of the children and sweetly greeted her, "Hello, sister-in-law."
"Grandpa is waiting for you in the tea room." He Tiantian led the way, skipping and hopping, holding one child in each hand.
