Lotus Village.

The Chinese New Year is only three days away, and the village is filled with a festive atmosphere.

Lotus Village today has changed a lot compared to three years ago.

The most eye-catching change is the roads in the village, which are all paved with cement and have two lanes, which is very grand!

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first.

The business scale of the Lotus Factory is changing day by day, and there are trucks coming into the village to pick up goods almost every day.

So, Mai Laosan went to apply to the government to build a road for their village.

Of course the government will not agree easily, after all, building roads costs a lot of money.

But Mai Lao San has Mai Sui behind him, and he promised to sponsor half of the cost.

Only the current Mai Lao San dares to say that he is so rich!

The government leaders are not stupid. If such a great bargain comes to their doorstep, they would rather miss it. It can save a lot of administrative expenses and can also be counted as their achievement!

Besides, several superiors have already given him notice.

Although the road construction in Lianhua Village was not explicitly mentioned, everyone is a smart person, so there is nothing they don’t understand.

To be honest, the county government leaders were a little shocked.

He didn't expect that such a "character" could be hidden in such a small rural village, who could make the leaders above call him just for such a "trivial matter".

It seems that if anything happens at this Lotus Factory in the future, we must take it seriously.

He doesn't want to offend someone without knowing it.

In fact, Mai Sui didn’t know the people who called at all. She just talked to Leader Zhang in Beijing.

She didn't care about the rest.

Since the money has been spent and the road has been built, it is a bit unreasonable that the factory still has only two production lines.

So, Mai Laosan asked Mai Xiangbei to find his former employer, Xiangxi County Machinery Factory, and order ten more production lines based on the existing production equipment.

This is definitely big business!

Shen Xingchen’s research institute can actually do it, and save half the money, but it’s not necessary.

First of all, the military research institute does not accept civilian orders.

Secondly, they are not specialized in production.

I made an exception before because of Mai Sui’s face.

If she wants to do it in the research institute now, Mai Sui has to go find Sheng Huainan. It won’t work even if Shen Xingchen goes there.

Mai Sui is not short of money now, so naturally he will not ask Sheng Huainan for help just to save a few "small bucks".

The most important thing was that she was worried that Sheng Huainan would raise some random and difficult questions for her to solve.

Mai Sui is not a scientific researcher, she holds a gun!

Therefore, it is more cost-effective to spend money to cooperate with the machinery factory!

As the Lotus Factory expands, it will inevitably need to hire more employees.

As a result, one-third of the people in Lianhua Village now work in the factory.

In addition to the workers working in the workshop, there are also people who are dedicated to doing business outside.

Lotus Village is no longer famous for its lotus roots, but for its lotus factory.

Nowadays, Mai Laosan walks in the village with a breeze.

In addition, Mai Hongcai finally found a partner and would be getting married soon, which made him even happier.

So they bought several hundred pigs from the meat processing plant and used them as New Year benefits for the factory employees.

Such a beautiful thing would have been unimaginable a few years ago!

It’s happening right before our eyes!

When Lin's father, Lin's mother and others came over, they happened to see the village slaughtering a pig.

Just imagine, hundreds of pigs, that scene would be simply amazing!

Killing so many pigs at one time was such a sensation that many people from all over the place came to watch the fun.

As a result, the villagers of Lotus Village became possessed by the spirit of drama and began to show off in various ways.

Lin's father and mother didn't need to ask specifically, as the excited villagers nearby couldn't help but show off to them:

"You guys heard the news and came here to watch the fun, right? Actually, it's nothing. Our Director Mai has a lot of good qualities, and one of the biggest is his generosity!

Not only did we slaughter pigs this year, we also sent out two boxes of apples, each one was this big, and they said they were shipped from the north!"

The villager made an exaggerated gesture, saying that an apple was bigger than a pig's head, which made Lin's father and mother stunned.

Lin's father and mother thought that the "Director Mai" the villagers were talking about was Mai Xiangbei.

After all, in the Lin family's impression, Mai Xiangbei is the most promising of the four brothers of the Mai family. Who else could this "Director Mai" be other than Mai Xiangbei!

Not to mention so many pigs, just those two boxes of apples that are bigger than pigs' heads are worth a lot of money.

Lin's father and mother thought that Mai Xiangbei was so rich now, even if a little bit of money slipped through his fingers, it would be enough for them to live a carefree life for a while.

Lin Ye regretted it so much that his intestines turned green!

If he had known that Mai Xiangbei was so capable, he would never have allowed him and his sister to be with Hu Zhihai even if he was beaten to death.

Oh, what a regret!

There is another person who regrets more than Lin Ye, and that is Lin Shuhua.

She hid in the crowd watching the excitement, silently watching Mai Xiangbei's figure, feeling filled with emotion.

Because Mai Xiangbei doesn't look older at all, instead he looks younger, and his clothes are very trendy and stylish, making him look like a young guy.

This may be because his wife Lin Ranran is too young, so Mai Xiangbei will unconsciously tend to dress in a younger style in his daily life.

Plus, now that we have money, we have fewer worries, and we eat better, so we naturally look younger and more energetic.

Compared with Lin Shuhua, they are like two generations apart.

Originally, Lin Shuhua was worried that someone would recognize her, so she put a scarf on her head.

But Mai Xiangbei walked past her without even stopping to look at her, obviously not recognizing her.

Not only Mai Xiangbei didn't recognize him, but also Mai Laosan, Mai Xiangdong, and Mai Xiangnan didn't recognize him.

Lin Shuhua was devastated and simply took off her scarf.

Before, she was afraid of being recognized.

Now, she wants to be recognized.

But unfortunately, no one in Lotus Village recognized her.

Some people might find her familiar, but that's all.

Everyone was busy watching the pig being slaughtered, so no one had the leisure to pay attention to an old woman.

..................

Hu Zhihai and others were also among the crowd of onlookers.

Mai Laosan knew that slaughtering the pig today would definitely attract a lot of people to watch, so he made arrangements in advance.

The people in the factory security department had their eyes as big as copper bells, always paying attention to the movements around them to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

But the people in the Security Department were focused on the factory’s assets and the pigs, fearing they might be stolen.

No one paid any attention to the little kids running around.

This greatly facilitated Hu Zhihai and others.

The three little ones are naughty by nature, and Lotus Village is their grandfather's territory, so how can they stay idle?

He was playing around in the village, jumping up and down, and then he disappeared.

Mai Sui was naturally not worried, she was a very open-minded person.

Shen Xingchen wanted to control it, but he couldn't do it at all.

So, this is all we can do.
