Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 1749 - 829: Worth the Trip

"Hey, hey, folks of Huangtuwa, I’m Wang Cuicui, can you hear me? Please pay attention, here’s a new announcement." A crisp female voice emanated from the loudspeakers in Huangtuwa Village, her Mandarin quite standard.

"According to the township notice, leaders will be coming to inspect our village’s work shortly. This time, it’s a high-ranking leader, so everyone should pay attention. If you have chores, don’t run around in work clothes to maintain our village’s image, dress properly."

"Tie up the dogs in your yard, don’t let them run around outside, it’s not good if they scare someone."

"Also, check the cows tied down outside sunbathing; if there’s cow dung, clean it up. We don’t want people to see our village covered in cow dung, it’s not pleasing."

"This concludes the announcement... And one more thing, everyone try not to have conflicts. Flower Hat Brother, don’t drink today; if you do, don’t go out later. Sister-in-Law Hongyu, hold back if you can, try not to hit Flower Hat Brother when the leaders are here. If you really feel the urge, at least hold off until the evening..."

Bang bang bang, faint door-knocking sounds came through the loudspeaker, followed by a voice: "Little Cui, what are you up to? The leaders are almost here, can’t you say a little less? Holding the microphone like you’re some sort of celebrity, wait until Da Fu punishes you when you get home..." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"They’re almost here! Why didn’t you tell me sooner!" the female voice said with reproach, then shouted into the microphone again, "Hey hey, everyone pay attention, the leaders are almost here..."

"Stop talking, quickly shut it off," a middle-aged man’s voice interrupted. "Quickly shut it..."

"Bang!"

The loudspeaker made one last sound, and then suddenly all was quiet between heaven and earth.

...

Director Yu was walking on a newly repaired asphalt road, not wide, barely fitting small cars side by side; if big cars came along, they’d likely have to drive onto the verge. Moreover, the road surface still had compacted dirt, some places had been cleaned, but the yellow soil had been compressed into the road, leaving patches of noticeably different color even after cleaning.

However, Director Yu’s mood was clearly good, looking ahead at the village, he smiled and said, "This is Huangtuwa, seems like we made it to the right place. You really didn’t notify us, I believe it now!"

His obviously teasing words left Township Chief Fu and the folks from the county a bit embarrassed.

Not notifying was something to take half-seriously at least, as it wouldn’t be overstepping if they were notified in the morning by Director Yu. After all, it’s only a short time, creating false appearances would be impossible. Making some preparations, showing the good aspects of the village, would undoubtedly be beneficial for everyone.

But Township Chief Fu wasn’t sure if it was really to show the actual situation or if there was another plan; he genuinely waited until they were nearly there to inform them.

Fortunately, as they were nearing the destination, Director Yu proactively asked to get out, took a look at the vegetable greenhouses along the roadside, then led everyone walking together this way.

The greenhouse vegetables in Huangtuwa were minimal, only a few huts by the village edge. However, all the way, they saw no lack of greenhouses. Previously, villagers didn’t dare plant in them, the biggest reason being fear of unsellable produce, investments not returned.

But the township continuously managed relationships with surrounding area clients, even some further away from other provinces, these efforts paid off well. As long as produce was grown, it was basically sellable — after all, Wancheng City had geographical advantages, near the border of three provinces, transportation was quite convenient.

If money was to be made, investing in a greenhouse was no hesitation, particularly for those who could learn to grow Agaricus bisporus, substantially more profitable than average greenhouse vegetables.

Reaching the village entrance, Township Chief Fu began introducing: "This piece of land we just passed is Huangtuwa’s finest soil, the other side..."

Just as he spoke, ahead at the village entrance, a girl stepped out from a courtyard, casually glanced over, noticed these apparent outsiders with a line of small cars following, immediately realizing these were the leaders coming, and the girl dashed nervously along the wall.

Covering only a few steps, she turned the corner of the wall, hearing somewhat chaotic shouting on that side.

Soon, a big group emerged running towards them, leading was a young man dressed quite decently, covering his nose while he walked. When he arrived, he nodded and said, "Welcome, welcome, we warmly welcome the leaders to Huangtuwa..."

He didn’t finish his sentence before something trickled into his mouth; wiping it with his hand, he immediately had several strokes of red dye on his face...

Yan Fei watched closely, this guy’s nose was slowly seeping red liquid unnoticed by him. Upon wiping his nose, Da Fu realized he had a nosebleed and embarrassingly, Yan Fei stepped forward to help him out, saying, "Da Fu, go wash up quickly, you didn’t even notice your nose was bleeding. Leave Big Zhuang and the others here, you go and come back fast."

Then, explaining to Director Yu, "This is Tian Dafu, the village official elected by Huangtuwa. He hasn’t spared effort for the village’s development these years, though he is somewhat young and a bit hasty."

"Youth is good!" Director Yu, looking at Yan Fei, remarked meaningfully. "A bit hasty is no problem, as long as he’s unafraid to endure hardships and is wholeheartedly public-spirited, the younger the better."
