Chapter 155 The Villa is My Home
Hearing Zhou Hui say this, Jian Manxue hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand to shake Zhou Hui's hand. "I'm not a fan of Xia Xia. My parents work there. I'm a university student in Haicheng, and this is my roommate."
She asks an important question that touches the soul.
"Is Xia Xia famous here? It seems like a lot of people are going to Donghua Town."
From the crowded bus station and the ticket seller's words, Jian Manxue felt that Yanggou Village was quite magical.
"Famous! I'm from Donghua Town. How can I tell you outsiders that our Donghua Town used to have little presence in the entire Tong City. It was remote, mountainous, and poor. The roads there hadn't been repaired in hundreds of years. There were potholes everywhere. When it rained, it was unbearable!"
"In the past, not to mention so many people going to Donghua Town for fun, many people refused to get married when they heard about our town. Look at me, I'm already 30 years old and I still haven't found a partner!"
"But things are much better now. A lot of people like Xia Xia and come from far away to visit. Haotang Village is now developing tourism. A cousin of mine is from there and he said he can make money right at home. Do you know where I used to work? I was delivering food out of town!"
"When I heard my cousin say there was work to do at home, I ran back to work while dating. However, my home is far from Yanggou Village, and not many people come here yet. The opportunities to make money are not as many as in those two villages. Xia Xia's company is not hiring outsiders for the time being, so I came here to drive a car."
"If you're diligent, you can make two or three trips to the city and town each day, and after deducting the cost of gas, you can earn 100 to 200 yuan. You can eat and live at home, which is much better than working outside!"
The driver talked incessantly, revealing all his past, which greatly reduced the fear in Jian Manxue and Huang Ying's hearts.
"Are you married now?"
"Hey," the driver waved his hand, "I've only been married for three months! I've got a wife now, and I've got a job. I'm just hoping Xia Xia becomes more and more popular, so more and more people from other places will come to visit, so they can eat their fill right here at home!"
"Don't you think this is all we ordinary people can hope for?"
Zhou Hui became visibly excited when he heard the driver say this. "Brother, you're absolutely right. Do you know why we like Xia Xia so much? It's because we see hope in her, a rare possibility!"
It was as if Zhou Hui had found a soulmate.
Zhou Hui saw Xia Xia when Xia Wu posted a video online just now. At first, he just regarded her as an ordinary video blogger, but then he followed her and watched her grow. He watched Xia Wu's account grow bigger and bigger and her life get better and better.
If it were any other blogger, they would have already lived a life of luxury with big villas and luxury cars by now. But Xia Wu was different. She did not spend her money on those external things. Instead, she paid attention to the lives of ordinary people in the village, and tried to create jobs for them. She still pays five insurances and one fund for the village employees.
Now many people say that the younger generation has no hope and is useless.
But who sees the confusion of the younger generation?
The dividends of the times have been almost used up, and the younger generation can only rely on themselves to accumulate the cars and houses that their parents could not provide, and to pass on the family line with car loans and mortgages, which netizens jokingly call the three pieces of life that ruin life.
The main difficulty faced by young people today is how to achieve a leap in life with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan.
The answer is of course no.
So now many young people choose to lie down and would rather be a waste than let the capitalists squeeze out the value of their labor and make them look useless.
If all entrepreneurs in this world could treat their employees like Xia Xia, would there still be so many people worrying about whether to take a break or work hard?
Zhou Hui excitedly expressed his thoughts. The driver might not understand why he was so excited, but they all had the same idea.
The driver sighed, "You have no idea how many people in our area are looking forward to working at Taoyuan Villa. If one person in a family can get a job there, the whole family will have nothing to worry about."
"We hope more than anyone else that Xia Xia gets better and better, her company gets better and better, and more people come here to play. That way, our lives will get better too!"
Zhou Hui encouraged him, "Yes, that's the truth. If everyone in your town has this awareness and develops the service industry well, it will definitely attract more people."
Along the way, they were talking about how to make Donghua Town a better place. Zhou Hui and the other young men were talking as constructively as if they were developing a game.
Jian Manxue and Huang Ying were no longer afraid. Huang Ying said to Jian Manxue, "It turns out your mother is so capable that she actually found a job at Taoyuan Villa."
Jian Manxue also found it amazing. She never thought her mother was that capable, otherwise she wouldn't have been stuck at home unemployed because of mental problems.
It turns out that my mother is really amazing. She was recognized by such a company and stood out from several candidates.
Jian Manxue nodded excitedly, "I didn't expect that either."
Zhou Hui had sharp ears. Upon hearing what they said, he quickly asked, "Do you have any family members working at Taoyuan Villa?"
Everyone looked over and said, "Oh my god, so awesome?"
"I heard that the villa doesn't accept outsiders?"
"It's not that we're not hiring, it's just that there are very few candidates. I remember that the accountant was hired from outside, right? And the doctor who worked in the villa, aren't they all talents from outside?"
"That's right, buddy. I almost forgot about this. Does that mean we still have a chance?"
"There is definitely a chance. I have already thought about how to develop the villa. I tell you, it will definitely succeed!" Zhou Hui said firmly, his eyes firm. He wanted to work under Xia Wu after graduation. This has become his dream.
After being repeatedly questioned, Jian Manxue finally nodded and said, "My mother is the new accountant."
Zhou Hui and the others were so excited that they treated Jian Manxue as one of their own.
He even introduced Taoyuan Forum to them.
"This is our internal forum. Most people can't get here, but it's so much fun inside. The atmosphere is great. You guys should come in and have some fun too."
This was the first time that Jian Manxue knew that someone could create a forum for an internet celebrity. After she logged into the forum, she found that there were quite a few people in it!
The driver quickly asked, "What forum is this? Can I get in?"
"Of course you can. As long as you like Xia Xia and Yanggou Village, we are one family. We need to build Yanggou Village well. Come on, I'll send you the forum installation package. You can just register and log in with your phone."
Zhou Hui is just like the leader of a pyramid scheme, working hard to promote Taoyuan Villa.
By the time they arrived at their destination, Jian Manxue had already become very familiar with them.
It took nearly three hours to arrive at Donghua Town from Tong City. Jian Feng and Deng Hui were waiting at the intersection in advance. When they saw their daughter and her roommate getting off the van, they happily greeted them.
Zhou Hui and his friends came here to play during the summer vacation. When they learned that Jian Manxue and her friends wanted to work here during the summer vacation, they were inspired and wanted to find some work here too. However, they didn’t know what to do yet. The two groups of young people decided to keep in touch with each other at any time.
Watching his daughter waving goodbye to the boys, Jian Feng walked over to take the two children's luggage and asked curiously, "Who are they? Are they also your classmates?"
Jian Manxue shook her head and said, "No, I just met him on the road."
She introduced Huang Ying to her parents, and then the two of them began to look at the surrounding scenery. Donghua Town was also repairing the road, and there were many sections of the road fenced off with green iron sheets. It looked a bit messy, but when they left Donghua Town and walked towards Yanggou Village, the scenery on both sides of the road was very beautiful.
"Mom, is that a buffalo?" Jian Manxue asked in surprise when she saw a buffalo cart moving slowly on the road.
"Yes, the buffalo milk buns I sent you last time were made from the buffaloes that my boss raises. There are almost a hundred of them."
"That's amazing!" Jian Manxue was stunned. There were so many surprises along the way. She didn't expect that the mountainous area her parents talked about had such a good environment.
When talking about the environment here, Jian Feng and Deng Hui had a lot to say. They have lived here for some time and every day is very fulfilling. They get up early in the morning to climb mountains and exercise, come back to have breakfast, help with small chores when they are free, and go about their own business.
Three meals a day, every meal is very healthy, and they are all vegetables grown by myself, how can it not be healthy?
By going to bed early and getting up early, Deng Hui is in good health and looks radiant, at least a few years younger than before.
"If you're looking for a summer job here, you've come to the right place. We're a bit short of staff lately, and the village really needs part-time workers. I'll ask around for you later."
Jian Feng rode an electric tricycle and quickly arrived at Yanggou Village with his men. They saw a barbecue stall at the intersection. Jian Manxue also saw Zhou Hui and others at the barbecue stall.
"Dad, is the barbecue there good?"
"Why, do you want to eat? How about we have barbecue tonight?" Jian Feng turned to ask Deng Hui for her opinion.
Deng Hui has become so sensitive to health issues because her family members have fallen ill and died one after another. When she is at home, she never allows Jian Manxue to eat takeout, let alone snacks.
Just when Jian Manxue was feeling disappointed and thought she was going to be rejected again.
Deng Hui said, "Then let's have barbecue."
Jian Manxue opened her eyes wide, as if she had heard something out of the ordinary.
Jian Feng smiled and explained to his daughter, "Your mother is feeling much better now, and their barbecue is quite clean, with all the ingredients sourced from the village. I've only heard people say it's delicious, but I've never really tried it. Today, thanks to you, let's try it!"
The four of them ordered a bunch of skewers. Seeing a stall selling fruit tea not far away, Huang Ying went over and bought four cups of jasmine milk tea. It was not expensive, only twenty yuan.
When her elders invite her to dinner, she always has to cook something.
The beef and mutton skewers are generous in portion, and there are also crayfish, snails, clams and the like, which are perfect for whileing away the time with a drink.
Jian Manxue had forgotten how long it had been since she had eaten these things.
It was unexpectedly touching for her to be able to sit together with her family on an ordinary afternoon, eating barbecue and chatting.
