Chapter 658 – Welcome Back!
When Old Master Gong, Xiao Wang, and Xiao Zhang returned to Xing Yin County, Old Master Gong asked incredulously, “Xiao Wang, is this really Xing Yin County? Are you sure?
“I clearly remember that two years ago, the roads in Xing Yin County weren’t this wide, there weren’t so many tall buildings, and there weren’t so many pedestrians on both sides of the street. In short, I remember that Xing Yin County wasn’t this bustling, right?”
Xiao Wang smiled and replied, “Old Master, this is Xing Yin County.”
Old Master Gong said in surprise, “How can the place change so fast in two years?”
Xiao Zhang smiled and said, “Old Master, the reason why this place developed so quickly is all thanks to young madam. The rural tourism in the Taoyuan Village that she started is now popular all over the country.
“Every day, tourists from all over the country would visit the Taoyuan Village. Sometimes, there were as many as 200,000 to 300,000 people. Do you think that a small Taoyuan village can receive so many tourists?
“Naturally, many of those tourists who came from afar chose to stay in the county hotel or stay in the nearby lodgings.
“As soon as the wave of visitors came, the county realized the roads weren’t wide enough, and they didn’t have enough hotels and restaurants. These were all business opportunities.
“So it was a rural village that has brought this change! Our Young Madam is really too capable.”
Old Master Gong was very happy when he heard this.
He smiled very happily and said, “Haha, I knew that Yu ‘Er was very capable, but I didn’t expect her to be so capable. Not only did she become rich, but she also brought many people to become rich.” He was happy to hear others praise his granddaughter-in-law.
“Xiao Lv, drive faster. I want to see what Taoyuan Village looks like now,” Old Master Gong said happily.
“The village has changed greatly,” Xiao Wang said. “In the past, Taoyuan Village was the poorest mountain village in the entire county, no, in the entire southern province.
“Now, Taoyuan Village is the richest village in the province!
“Every family in Taoyuan Village has a new house. Many people have bought cars and have savings in the bank. Those young people who have gone out have returned to their villages to work.”
Xiao Zhang echoed, “If they can earn money at home, who would be willing to leave their parents and children?
OId Master Gong nodded, “That makes sense! Other than business owners, most people would definitely be willing to come home to accompany their parents and children. Moreover, the money earned in the village right now is no less than the money earned by working outside.”
The few of them chatted all the way from Xing Yin County to Xing An town.
The old master looked outside and said with a sigh, “Xing An Town has changed even more.”
“Of course. Xing An town is adjacent to Taoyuan Village. The closer the place is to Taoyuan Village, the bigger the change.”
“Not only Xing An Town but also a few villagers near Taoyuan Village have benefitted. Many tourists came to visit the other villages after seeing Taoyuan Village. So many villagers opened shop to sell local specialties.”
The more Old Master Gong heard, the happier he became. He kept nodding and saying, “Not bad, not bad!”
Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang knew their old master was praising the young madam.
After all, all of this was thanks to the young madam.
“Old Master, look, we are almost at Taoyuan Village. There are so many people.” Xiao Wang looked ahead and couldn’t help but feel a little excited.

Two years ago, he followed the old master to Taoyuan Village and lived a very comfortable life. Mother Xiao’s cooking was amazing. And his old master’s health also got better. He became as energetic as a young man.
Xiao Zhang looked at the familiar road in front of him and the peach trees that had grown up on both sides, and his mood could not help but become excited.
“There are so many cars driving into the village. Is there a parking lot inside?” Xiao Zhang said with some confusion.
“There probably is. I remember that the wedding venue of the eldest young master was quite big. It can definitely be made into a parking lot.”
“Then let’s drive in and take a look first,” said Xiao Wang.
Xiao Zhang said somewhat speechlessly, “We can park in the Gong Family home. Why do you need to use the parking lot?”
Xiao Wang patted his head and said, “Hehe, how can I forget about that?” His eyes suddenly lit up. He pointed to the stone sign in front of the village and said excitedly, “Xiao Zhang, look, is that young madam and Auntie?”
Xiao Zhang looked and said excitedly, “It’s them, it’s young Madam and the others. Old Master, Young Madam and Auntie must be here to welcome you.”
Although Old Master Gong was already in his eighties, he drank spiritual spring water every day, ate well, slept soundly, and was in good health. His eyes weren’t blurry and his ears weren’t deaf.
Naturally, he saw the Xiao family waiting for him at the village entrance.
Everyone from the Xiao family was there. Old Master Gong was touched and grateful. He felt that no matter how great his achievements were on the battlefield, he was not as touched as he was now.
The closer the car got, the clearer he could see.
“Ah, is that the little young master?” Xiao Wang pointed at the child in Xiao Lingyu’s arms and said excitedly, “The little young master looks like the eldest young master!”
Xiao Zhang rolled his eyes and said somewhat speechlessly, “They are father and son, so it’s not strange that they look alike! However, the little young master looks fair and tender. He’s really beautiful and cute!”
“Yes, yes, the little young master is really beautiful and cute,” Xiao Wang echoed.
Old Master Gong looked at the child in Xiao Lingyu’s hands and couldn’t even blink.
This child… was his favorite great-grandson.
It had been more than two years, and now they could finally meet and even hug each other.
…
“Yu ‘Er, why isn’t the elder here yet? It was almost five o’clock.” Mother Xiao was obviously anxious. “Did something happen to them on the way?”
“Qiuying, don’t jinx it!” Grandma Xiao said seriously.
“Mom, I’m sorry!” Mother Xiao said sincerely.
Xiao Lingyu was sharp-eyed. She said, “Mom, they are already here. They are almost at the entrance of the village.”
“Is that true? That’s great. Zhengyang, quickly evacuate the tourists and hang up the firecrackers. We will welcome the in-laws back with a bang!” Grandma Xiao immediately ordered.
“Okay!”
