Chapter 105 Vigorously Developing New Rural Areas
The van drove all the way to Mashan Village without stopping.
When Li Qinglian saw Chu Chen return, she hurriedly went to the car.
"My lord, you're back."
"Yes, I'm back. I missed you."
"What are you saying? It's broad daylight, and Brother Qingxuan is still here."
Li Qinglian playfully punched Chu Chen lightly.
Upon seeing this, Chen Qingxuan leaped onto the rooftop in a flash.
"You idiot, are you even human? Can't you bear to look? I can't bear to look!"
Chen Qingxuan spoke as he walked towards the room.
He came out of the room with a bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) in his hand.
Recalling everything that happened last night, Chen Qingxuan couldn't help but smile.
It turns out that besides alcohol, there are other things in life that can bring such joy.
Chu Chen ignored him and led Li Qinglian into the house.
"The son-in-law is back. He's been gone for a long time this time."
Li Qinglian's mother's sudden remark left both of them completely baffled.
“Mother-in-law, please rest. Let them take care of things in the house.”
"My son-in-law, I can't stay idle. Unless I have a baby to take care of, I won't do anything else."
After saying this, Liu Damei turned around and went back into the kitchen to continue her work.
What the heck? This is urging me to have a child!
Forget it, I came all this way to ancient times to relax and have a baby, what's the point?
At least for now, there are no such plans.
So, feeling awkward, Chu Chen made a few perfunctory remarks and headed towards the bustling construction site in front of the gate.
"Uncle Feng, the progress is quite fast, the house is already halfway up."
"Chuwazi, don't tease your uncle. This is not fast at all."
When Feng Wu saw Chu Chen walking towards him, he quickly went to greet him.
At this moment, Wang Defa did not know which direction he was coming from.
"Chuwazi, many of the sweet potatoes you mentioned have sprouted now. In less than a month, we can cut the vines and plant them."
"Uncle Wang is here too. No rush, take your time. We still have enough food to eat."
Seeing Wang Defa's enthusiastic attitude, Chu Chen couldn't help but offer some words of comfort.
It seems that Mashan Village has suffered for too long and urgently needs to get rid of poverty and live a better life.
The three people sat down on the big rock.
They talked about all aspects of the development of Mashan Village.
When the topic turned to the wall, Chu Chen went back to his car and took out a small bag of cement.
"Uncle Feng, do you know what this is?"
Feng Wu grabbed a handful; it felt smooth to the touch, like mud but not quite.
So he asked, "Chu boy, stop being so mysterious and tell me what this is?"
"This is called cement. Walls built with it are indestructible."
Indestructible, this is not something to be taken lightly.
If the entire Mashan Village had a high, indestructible wall, what would there be to fear from bandits or anything like that?
Even when foreign tribes invade, these people can still live exceptionally comfortably.
Seeing that they didn't believe him, Chu Chen instructed Feng Wu to mix the cement, sand, and pebbles together.
Then they put the two stones together and waited quietly for the results in a few days.
“Uncle Feng, I can get a lot of this stuff. Right now, I’m thinking of using it to build our walls and roads.”
Why not build a house? What a joke! You think there's plenty of cement in the space? We had to find this bit of cement from two small construction sites.
Although it can be provided continuously, it still needs to be timely.
The people of Mashan Village urgently need to move into new houses, but they can't wait.
Mashan Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with high cliffs behind them, so the wall only needs to enclose the areas that are not cliffs.
That's why Chu Chen thought of the cement wall.
That cement road was entirely for Chu Chen to drive in a more comfortable luxury car.
After all, with such a bumpy road, that thing would be the bottom of the car.
Three days later, Chu Chen and Wang Defa, along with Feng Wu, arrived at the cement structure.
Under Chu Chen's command, Feng Wu swung the sledgehammer and smashed it into the cement with a loud bang.
It was only a small amount of damage that Feng Wu, a burly man, caused to the surface of the cement.
"Chu boy, why is this thing so hard?" Feng Wu asked, shaking his arm, which was numb from the impact.
"Now you believe me, right? We'll have to trouble Uncle Feng to build this wall."
"I can't provide a large quantity right now, so let's build a wall first, and everyone can live in brick houses for now."
After explaining everything, Chu Chen would carry cement into the cave that Wang Defa and his men had dug every day.
Feng Wu also arranged for a group of people to go to the top of Mashan Village to build a wall.
Because of a shortage of manpower, many craftsmen were hired from outside to help build the house.
Because of the high wages offered, more and more craftsmen came to work for them.
The craftsmen throughout Qingniu Town and even Qingyun City all knew that there was an urgent need to build houses in a remote mountain village.
Moreover, any bricklayer can help out, and the wages will be doubled.
Spring goes and autumn comes; in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
At this moment, Mashan Village has a completely new look.
Below Chu Chen's villa, more than fifty brick and tile houses were neatly arranged on this piece of land in Mashan Village.
Apart from the cliffs on both sides of the mountain, a high wall has been erected around the rest of Mashan Village.
At this moment, Mashan Village could easily be mistaken for Mashan City.
Chu Chen and Feng Wu and the others understood that the "city wall" of Mashan Village was not comparable to an ordinary city wall.
After the new house was completed, it was the height of summer, and a dam had been built over the stream at the entrance of the village, revealing a deep pool in Mashan Village.
Under Chu Chen's guidance, the dam was also entirely constructed of reinforced concrete.
The road leading to the village has been completely replaced with cement, making it smooth and sturdy.
On the day the road was completed, Chu Chen drove a BJ80 out of his spatial dimension.
He actually wanted to drive a car, but the road only goes as far as Qingniu Town.
In the past six months, under Chu Chen's patient guidance, Hu Zi has also become proficient at driving a van.
Therefore, the task of delivering perfume, wine, and snacks to Qingyun City has now gloriously fallen on Hu Zi's shoulders.
After about a year of adjustment, now, apart from Chu Dazhuang himself, who is still managing the salt-making workshop, the rest of the family is also involved.
Everyone else had some free time.
Even Roy only went there once a year when it was time to pay wages; all the affairs, big and small, were managed by Chu Dazhuang.
When the last house was completed and renovated, the entire Mashan Village erupted in cheers.
Chu Chen, with Da Huang by his side, strolled in front of the rows of new houses.
He patted Big Yellow's head with satisfaction and said to everyone in front of him, "I hereby announce that the old house renovation project in Mashan Village is officially completed, and the houses will be allocated tomorrow."
Amidst excited shouts, Chu Chen and Da Huang returned to the villa.
