Chapter 435: Beautiful Painting, Completion of Villa Complex

Mount Tai has been with the Chinese civilization for five thousand years. It symbolizes the prosperity of the country and the survival of the nation. It is the spiritual home of the Chinese nation, the epitome of Eastern culture, and the place where the idea of ​​"harmony between man and nature" is sustenance. It carries rich geographical, historical and cultural connotations. It was regarded by the ancients as a paradise "directly leading to the throne of the emperor" and became a sacred mountain worshipped by the people and offered sacrifices by the emperors. There is a saying that "If Mount Tai is safe, the four seas are safe."

On this day, after having breakfast, Deng Shirong and his two grandchildren took a car to Mount Tai.

At the foot of the mountain, looking at the towering peaks, Xiaodong'er and Dongzi were both shocked.

The main peak of Mount Tai, Yuhuangding, is about 1,545 meters above sea level, while Liutangjing, the highest peak in the entire Bobai, is only 929 meters above sea level. It can be said that this is the highest mountain the brother and sister have seen since they were born. In front of such a big mountain, the brother and sister both felt their own insignificance.

It is summer vacation now, and there are still quite a few tourists visiting Mount Tai.

Of course, it was only the early 1990s, and the number of tourists could not be compared with that of later generations. After all, traveling costs money, and the economic conditions of this era were far behind those of later generations! After buying the tickets, Deng Shirong carried his luggage and took his grandchildren and other tourists to climb the mountain.

They have just started climbing the mountain, and both Xiaodong'er and Dongzi have plenty of energy. The brother and sister are very excited, especially Dongzi, who doesn't know how to save energy at all and starts jumping up and down and having fun.

Deng Shirong saw this and said quickly, "Dongzi, stop jumping around and save some energy. Otherwise, you will get tired after just a short walk. I won't carry you."

Dongzi said shamelessly: "Grandpa, I don't need you to carry me, I can walk up by myself."

Deng Shirong laughed and said: "You don't need me to carry you now. Wait until you walk for half an hour and you will know whether you still want me to carry you or not." Mountain climbing is different from normal walking. Normally, you may walk for one or two hours in a row without feeling tired, but mountain climbing only takes half an hour and you may feel too tired to bear it.

Among the tourists walking with Deng Shirong and his two grandchildren, a young girl asked, "Uncle, are you bringing two children to climb the mountain by yourself?"

Deng Shirong smiled as he climbed the mountain: "Yes, girl, what's the problem?"

The young girl reminded him, "Uncle, this is of course a problem. To climb Mount Tai, an adult with good physical strength needs five or six hours. How can a child have such good physical strength? He will probably be too tired to walk before he can even walk one-third of the way. How can he do the rest of the way?"

Another tourist said, "Yes, the girl is right. I asked someone before I came here. It's hard for adults to reach the top of Mount Tai, let alone two children. They probably don't have the physical strength to reach the top."

Another tourist followed up and advised: "They are right. It is better not to go up than to be stuck in the middle of the way."

Deng Shirong bowed to them and said, "Thank you for your reminder, but it's okay. If you really can't walk, I'll carry you on my back."

After hearing what he said, the other tourists didn't say much. After all, they didn't know each other, so it was good enough if they could give him some advice.

So, everyone walked up while enjoying the scenery along the way.

It was the sixth month of the lunar calendar and the sun was scorching. Climbing is physically demanding in itself, and with the added stress of being under the scorching sun, the climbers soon began to sweat profusely.

Deng Shirong didn't feel anything. It has been twelve years since he was reborn. Logically, his physical fitness would gradually decline as he got older, but in fact, over the past twelve years, he felt that his physical fitness was getting better and better.

Although he had never tried it, he felt that he could carry something weighing two or three hundred kilograms and walk dozens of miles without any problem.

Deng Shirong is not surprised by all these changes. He has been reborn, so it is reasonable to bring some extra benefits.

After walking for only a quarter of an hour, Dongzi said with a dry mouth: "Grandpa, I'm so thirsty, I want to drink some water."

Deng Shirong took out two bottles of mineral water and handed them to the brother and sister respectively. The name of the mineral water was none other than Nongfu Spring, the new brand launched by their Deng Group.

Today, although Nongfu Spring mineral water has been put on the market through the channels of the Deng Group, it has not yet started advertising. It is just being allowed to ferment slowly, and when the CCTV bid winner comes, it will directly take the bid winner advertisement, and then use those two classic advertising slogans to make this mineral water soar into the sky.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Dongzi almost finished the bottle of mineral water in his hand. He looked at the peak that was still out of reach and asked, "Grandpa, how long will it take to reach the top?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "It's still early. If you're tired, let's take a break before we go."

Dongzi said: "Then let's take a break first."

Although he is physically stronger than many of his peers, he is only 10 years old in terms of age, and not even 9 years old in terms of actual age!

After walking for more than half an hour, he was indeed very tired.

Xiao Dong'er was also very tired and stopped to rest.

After resting for a few minutes, Deng Shirong continued to climb the mountain with his grandchildren.

Then, we stopped and walked along the way, the time spent climbing became shorter and shorter, and the time spent resting became longer and longer.

Seeing that Dongzi really couldn't walk anymore, Deng Shirong began to carry him and walked. After walking for a few minutes, he put him down and picked up Xiao Dong'er, who was also very tired.

In this way, Deng Shirong took turns carrying his grandchildren to climb the mountain, and they finally reached the halfway point at noon.

When they got here, many tourists stopped to rest, eat some dry food they brought with them, and replenish their energy before continuing their climb.

The young girl who had first advised Deng Shirong and his two grandchildren not to climb the mountain was also here. She was eating steamed buns at the moment, and was a little surprised to see that Deng Shirong and his two grandchildren had reached the halfway point of the mountain so quickly.

She and Deng Shirong nodded to each other and continued eating the steamed buns in their hands.

Dongzi saw that everyone else was eating, and his stomach couldn't help but growl. He asked, "Grandpa, what are we eating?"

Deng Shirong took out a bag of meat buns wrapped in oil paper and said with a smile, "Eat this."

Dongzi's eyes lit up, he picked up the meat bun and started to eat it voraciously.

Xiao Dong'er also took a meat bun and ate it slowly.

After each of them ate two meat buns and drank several sips of mineral water, they finally recovered a lot of their strength.

After a short rest, seeing other tourists packing up their things and continuing to move up, Deng Shirong and his two grandchildren followed them.

After walking for ten minutes, Deng Shirong used the same method as before and took turns carrying the siblings.

It was not until around three o'clock in the afternoon that the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren reached the top of Mount Tai.

The top of the mountain is also under the scorching sun, but the temperature is several degrees lower than that at the foot of the mountain. In addition, there is wind on the top of the mountain. A gust of wind makes the tourists who are sweating profusely after climbing the mountain refreshed. After wiping the sweat with a towel, their whole body becomes dry in just a few minutes.

Xiaodong'er and Dongzi, who were already so tired that they didn't want to move, were instantly revived to full health.

Although their ability to appreciate the scenery is limited, climbing to a high place and looking far into the distance is something that is inherently refreshing.

However, Deng Shirong was not in a hurry to take them to appreciate the scenery, but first took them to Shenqi Hotel to book a room.

The Shenqi Hotel was built and opened only last year. It is the only three-star hotel at the top of Mount Tai, invested and built by the Tourism Bureau.

Building a hotel on the top of a mountain is not an easy task. The living price is naturally much more expensive than at the foot of the mountain. The reason for building a hotel here is mainly for those tourists who come to watch the sunrise.

The sunrise at Mount Tai is one of the four great wonders of Mount Tai. If given the chance, who wouldn’t want to see it?

Deng Shirong directly booked a room for three days. It is really not easy to climb Mount Tai. Now that he is here, he naturally has to appreciate the four wonders of Mount Tai that are famous throughout the country.

Shenqi Hotel is located in front of the Jade Emperor Temple, facing Guanfeng to the east, Confucius Temple to the west, and overlooking Taixia Temple in front.

After completing the accommodation procedures, Deng Shirong took his grandchildren to visit the Jade Emperor Temple.

After visiting the Jade Emperor Temple, we returned to Shenqi Hotel for dinner.

After dinner, it was almost time to watch the sunset.

Deng Shirong walked towards the best viewing point with his grandchildren, saying, "Xiao Dong'er, Dongzi, the sunset glow of Mount Tai is one of the four great wonders of Mount Tai. After you finish watching it, you two should each write an essay for me to see."

Writing an essay was a piece of cake for a top student like Xiaodong'er, so she readily agreed.

But for Dongzi, it was a bit difficult. When he saw his sister agreed, he could only agree nervously.

Soon, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren arrived at the viewing point.

At this time, there were already many tourists waiting at the viewing point. They all wanted to see one of the four great wonders of Mount Tai. Many tourists even came here just for this wonder and planned to go down the mountain overnight after seeing it, so as to save accommodation costs.

The young girl who climbed the mountain with Deng Shirong and his friends was also among them.

I don’t know how long it took, but when the sun slowly set in the west, an extremely beautiful picture finally appeared.

(The Four Wonders of Mount Tai: Sunset Glow)

After seeing this soul-stirring beauty, tourists exclaimed continuously, and everyone felt that the trip was worthwhile.

The natural scenery was so breathtakingly beautiful that all the tourists were mesmerized by it until the sun could no longer be seen.

Then, many tourists began to go down the mountain together, and many tourists stayed on the mountain, preparing to watch the sunrise on Mount Tai tomorrow morning before going down the mountain.

Of course, after seeing this wonder, the tourists who stayed behind had no intention of seeing anything else and were all ready to go back to the hotel to have a good rest. Even adults felt tired after climbing the mountain for several hours.

After returning to the hotel, taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Deng Shirong took out paper and pen and gave them to his grandchildren, asking them to write their compositions. They could only go to bed after they finished.

Xiao Dong'er had obviously already thought of the outline in her mind, so she took a pen and paper and started writing.

Dongzi took the paper and pen, but started biting the pen tip because of a headache. After thinking for a long time, he began to scribble and make corrections.

Soon, in about half an hour, Xiaodong'er finished writing the composition.

Deng Shirong took it and looked at it. He was more and more satisfied. This composition not only has a clear theme and coherent and fluent sentences, but also describes the beautiful natural scenery of the sunset vividly, making people feel as if they are there.

This is the value of being the first in the grade. It’s not easy to make a move.

Since Dongzi was also writing, in order not to disturb him, Deng Shirong just quietly gave Xiao Dong'er a thumbs up and waited for Dongzi to finish his composition.

Another half an hour passed before Dongzi handed the composition to Deng Shirong.

Deng Shirong took it and looked at it. If Xiao Dong'er's composition could be described as a delicious delicacy with good color, aroma and taste, then Dongzi's composition could be described as a dark dish that was difficult to swallow after seeing it. The difference was really too big.

Seeing Dongzi's anxious look, Deng Shirong didn't want to discourage him, so he said, "Dongzi, you still need to work hard on this composition. You've been tired all day, so go to bed quickly. I'll take you to see the sunrise tomorrow morning."

No words were spoken that night.

The next morning, just after daybreak, Deng Shirong woke up his grandchildren, brushed their teeth and washed their faces, and then rushed to the viewing point to watch the sunrise.

When Deng Shirong and his two grandchildren arrived, there were also quite a few people at the viewing point. As one of the four great wonders of Mount Tai, the sunrise is definitely something that tourists don't want to miss.

There was still some time before sunrise, so the tourists chatted while waiting.

Before we knew it, the sun rose from the east, and another beautiful picture appeared before the tourists.

(Sunrise at Mount Tai) Among the people watching the sunrise, there were many tourists who climbed the mountain and stayed overnight at Mount Tai yesterday, and there were also many tourists who climbed the mountain overnight just to watch the sunrise. When they saw this beautiful scene, the tourists who brought cameras couldn't wait to take pictures.

It was not until the sun rose higher that the tourists dispersed reluctantly.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After watching the sunrise, Deng Shirong and his two grandchildren had a quick breakfast and then continued to visit other attractions.

There are 29 ancient buildings including temples, palaces and pavilions, 128 ancient ruins, and more than 2,000 steles and cliff carvings on Mount Tai, which is enough for Deng Shirong and his two grandchildren to visit for two or three days.

When Deng Shirong and his grandchildren came to visit the Confucius Temple, they ran into the young girl who had gone up the mountain with them before. They nodded to each other and she asked, "Uncle, you haven't come down the mountain yet?"

Deng Shirong smiled and replied, "No, it's a rare opportunity to come here, so I plan to visit all the attractions on the top of the mountain before going down."

The young girl smiled and said, "I have the same plan. I am a student studying here and I want to climb Mount Tai during the summer vacation. Uncle, where are you from?"

Deng Shirong said: "We are from Guangxi."

The two sides chatted while visiting the Confucius Temple.

Xiao Dong'er and Dongzi are both extroverts and quickly became familiar with the young girl named Zhou. They called her "Sister Zhou" all the time, making the young girl smile.

In this way, Deng Shirong and others spent three full days traveling on Mount Tai.

The cost of food and accommodation for these three days was quite high, which shows that Miss Zhou's family background should not be poor.

After all, she is still a student. If her family is not well off, how can she dare to spend money like this? Of course, everyone met by chance and just went out to play together. No one would ask about the other's family situation.

On this day, after watching the sunrise again and having breakfast, Deng Shirong, his two grandchildren and Miss Zhou went down the mountain together.

Climbing the mountain was very tiring, but going down the mountain was much easier. Xiaodong'er and Dongzi didn't need Deng Shirong to carry them and could walk down the mountain by themselves.

After going down the mountain, Miss Zhou greeted Deng Shirong first, then said with a smile: "Xiao Dong'er, Dongzi, sister is leaving first, we will meet again if we are lucky."

Xiao Dong'er and Dongzi also waved and said hello: "Goodbye, Sister Zhou!"

After Miss Zhou left, Deng Shirong also returned home with his grandchildren.

The stunning scenery of this trip to Mount Tai made the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren very satisfied and it was truly worth the trip.

…

After Deng Shirong returned from a trip to Mount Tai with his grandchildren, the Deng family's villa complex was officially completed.

The construction of this villa complex started in 1989, and it has been more than three years since then. When the sisters were called back for a meeting some time ago, the construction of the villa complex was nearing completion, with only some finishing work left.

Now, the villa complex is finally officially completed.

After receiving the news, Deng Shirong naturally rushed back to visit as soon as possible.

At this time, Deng Shirong started from the first villa in Shanying Village and walked down along the river.

There is a long row of boulders on both sides of the river, and a row of weeping willows planted next to them. Because the weeping willows were planted relatively early and using the transplanting method, they have all grown up. Looking at the willow branches hanging down to the water surface is really beautiful.

The weeping willow can be said to be the most beautiful landscape tree by the river, without a doubt.

Below these weeping willows, there are some flowers and plants for decoration.

Next to the weeping willow is a cobblestone sidewalk, next to it is a green belt, and then a two-lane road. After crossing the road is the entrance of the villa.

If you walk through the villa, behind it is the villa's own garden.

Deng Shirong walked all the way down, and when he arrived at his villa, there was a bridge next to it.

There are three bridges in total in the Naye Deng family villa complex. The first bridge is built next to Deng Shirong’s villa, the second bridge is built near Yuanshan, and the third bridge is built at the end of the villa complex.

The first two bridges are built overhead, and their main purpose is to facilitate traffic and pedestrians.

The third bridge at the end is different. In addition to being a bridge, it is also a river dam. In addition to facilitating the passage of vehicles and pedestrians, it also serves to raise the water level of the river.

Next to the third bridge is a sewage treatment plant.

After walking through it from beginning to end, Deng Shirong felt very satisfied. Now all that was left for the villa complex was decoration.

Because the construction of the villa complex is to uniform specifications, only a few decoration plans are needed. Deng Shirong had already asked Dean Huang to take care of this matter. Now that the villa complex has been built, everyone can choose the decoration style and carry out unified decoration.

…

the next day.

Deng Shirong then notified everyone and convened another clan meeting.

When everyone arrived, they began to reward the students of the clan school. Those who achieved the required ranking in the final exam received rewards, and the students who were admitted to high school, technical secondary school, junior college and university also received generous rewards.

This scholarship has been implemented for many years and the effect is very significant.

Nowadays, many students from the Naye Deng family are admitted to high schools, technical secondary schools, junior colleges and universities every year, especially those that provide job assignments. In the past, only a few people in the clan could pass the exam every year, but now the number of people passing the exam is increasing year by year.

Of course, Xiaodong'er is on the reward list.

When the tribesmen learned that Xiaodong'er had ranked first in the grade again in the final exam, they all praised him with all their might.

"Aunt Dong'er is really amazing. She has been ranked first in the grade for several consecutive years. If she continues like this, she will definitely be able to be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University like Master Yunheng and Master Yunsong."

"Yes, it's already a big deal to be the top student in our Naye Primary School, but Aunt Dong'er got the top score in her grade in a school like Nanning, where the teaching staff is very strong. Our Naye Primary School can't compare to that. As long as she can keep it up, it will be no problem for her to be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University."

"When it comes to educating children, the clan leader is still the best. I can't help but admit it."

"Indeed, we all have to learn from the clan leader. We don't ask for our children to be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University, but as long as they can be admitted to a university, even if it is the most ordinary one, I will kowtow to my grandfather a few times."

“…”

Deng Shirong's face was beaming with praise from his fellow tribesmen.

Soon, the tribe distributed all the scholarships, and Deng Shirong came on stage and said, "Dear tribe members, our villa complex has been built. I have asked the architect to design several decoration styles. You can choose whichever decoration style you like."

After saying that, Deng Shirong showed the decoration renderings that he had prepared in advance, allowing the tribesmen to view and choose one by one.

I won’t go into detail about this long process. By the time the tribesmen had looked at it and made their choices, it was already four o’clock in the afternoon.

Deng Shirong asked someone to take notes and said, "The villa complex will start to be renovated officially next year. It is expected to be completed next year. Then we will ask the master to choose an auspicious day and move into the new home together."

Hearing this, many tribesmen became excited.

Since the tribe decided to build villas together, in order not to waste money, many members of the tribe did not build new houses and still live in mud brick houses.

Now, the family assets of all the members in the clan start at at least one hundred thousand, but they still live in mud brick houses built twenty or thirty years ago, which is extremely inconsistent with their wealth.

Now, the villa complex has finally entered the decoration stage. If they wait a little longer, they can move into the villas, so these tribesmen are naturally happy.

When the time comes, be sure to invite relatives and friends to come and have a good time.

It is worth mentioning that the hotel of Deng Shirong’s eldest niece Bu Dafang is also under construction.

Deng Shirong had already brought back the promised steel bars and cement for his niece.

Of course, with the little money my eldest niece had, even if she didn't have to spend money on the steel bars and cement, she couldn't afford the bricks alone. Bu Dafang went back to her parents' home to borrow money before she dared to start building this hotel.

I don’t know when we can make money after building this hotel.

…

PS: Thank you all for your monthly tickets.
