The Mightiest Little Peasant Webnovel - Chapter 607
Chapter 607: Back to Tang Village
That morning, Tang Village was in an uproar.
The villagers walked out of their houses with rice bowls in their hands and gathered in the village square. They discussed in groups of twos and threes with excited expressions on their faces.
A middle-aged woman opened the door and walked out with a basin of laundry in her arms. She wanted to go to the riverside to wash the clothes.
She was startled when she saw the situation outside.
“What’s wrong? What’s going on?”
She walked over with the basin of clothes.
The villagers turned around and looked at her with curious expressions.
“It’s Lil Hao! Lil Hao is coming back!” A woman said.
“Ah!” The middle-aged woman exclaimed in surprise. She was a little dazed.
After standing there for a long time, an embarrassed expression appeared on her face. She stammered, “It’s him!”
Then, she walked away resentfully to the riverside.
“I heard that Lil Hao is amazing now. Not long ago, he even started a company. The village elder and the others went to attend the dinner party. Oh, that was a momentous event! All the big shots were there! It’s amazing!”
“I’ve been to Haotian Group’s office building. You can’t imagine how magnificent it is!”
“Lil Hao! He’s the pride of our Tang Village!”
The villagers were discussing excitedly.
Many of them said to their children beside them, “Remember, you have to learn from Big Bro Hao! You’ll have to be a promising person in the future!”
The middle-aged woman overheard the discussions behind her. She was feeling particularly resentful and bitter.
She had looked down, scolded, and bullied that kid every day, but that kid had soared to unimaginable heights.
That kid was now the chairman of a group of companies. He knew many provincial leaders and even officials from the Capital.
All that was like a dream.
If she had treated him a little better in the past, she would not still be living in such a shabby house by now.
When she thought of that, her heart was filled with unspeakable regret and frustration.
The sky gradually brightened, and the atmosphere became even more lively.
Lil Hao was coming back!
The news spread through the entire village.
Many banquet tables were set up in front of the village council building. A group of people was busy organizing the feast.
The atmosphere was like a festival.
“Don’t spare any expense. We can’t let Lil Hao look down on Tang Village!”
Tang Dashun barked orders as he patrolled the scene with his hands behind his back.
“Understood, Village Elder! Don’t worry!” Several chefs replied.
In the blink of an eye, it was eleven o’clock.
The villagers gathered at the village entrance. They looked toward the road and waited eagerly.
After a while, they saw a black Audi drive in.
“It’s Lil Hao! He’s back!” Someone shouted.
In an instant, the crowd was in an uproar. They rushed forward and waved at the car.
The car could not drive through the crowd and had to stop.
The car door opened, and Tang Hao walked out.
“Welcome back, Lil Hao!”
The villagers surrounded him and stretched their arms, wanting to shake hands with Tang Hao.
Tang Hao smiled and shook hands with each of them.
Meanwhile, the car door on the other side opened, and Qin Xiangyi walked out.
The villagers looked closely at her and were all stunned. Then, they exclaimed in surprise.
“What a beautiful girl! She must be Lil Hao’s girlfriend!”
“Oh, what a pity! I was thinking of matchmaking Lil Hao!”
“Hah! Save It! Don’t you know who Lil Hao is now? He won’t be interested in any of the girls you know!”
The middle-aged women were chattering.
“Hello, Uncles and Aunties!” Qin Xiangyi greeted them politely.
“Oh, what a sweet girl…” The middle-aged women laughed.
“Make way! Make way!”
Village Elder Tang Dashun came, followed by several members of the council.
“You’re finally here, Lil Hao! You’re here too, Ms. Qin! Come, come, don’t stand here, let’s go inside!” As he spoke, he led Tang Hao and Qin Xiangyi through the crowd.
“Look at that plantation, Lil Hao. It’s so grand! It’s all thanks to you. The villagers’ pockets are fuller, and their living conditions are much better than before.”
After staying at the village council building for a while, Tang Dashun brought Tang Hao and Qin Xiangyi to survey the plantation.
It was still some time before the banquet started, so Tang Hao brought Qin Xiangyi to his house.
“Uncle, Auntie!”
At the door of his house, Tang Hao saw his uncle and aunt.
“Lil Hao!”
His uncle walked out and smiled warmly. He glanced at Qin Xiangyi and smiled mischievously. “Your fiance?”
“Yes!” Tang Hao nodded.
“That’s true. You’re not young anymore! In a few years, you’ll have a baby!” His uncle smiled.
Qin Xiangyi’s pretty face blushed as she stepped forward and greeted Tang Hao’s uncle.
Tang Hao stood at the door and began to chat with his uncle.
His aunt stood at the door of his house and did not come out. She had an embarrassed look on her face.
After chatting for a while, Tang Hao took out his key and opened the door of his house.
The door was very old and was slightly decayed from insects.
As soon as he pushed open the door, a cloud of dust surged out from inside.
The house had been empty for almost one and a half years and was covered in dust.
Tang Hao waved his hand and waited for the dust to settle before he walked in with Qin Xiangyi.
She curiously looked to her left and right.
“This is where you used to live?” She exclaimed as she walked upstairs and arrived at Tang Hao’s room.
“It’s pretty shabby, right?” Tang Hao said.
Qin Xiangyi shook her head and held his hand. She said gently, “It’s not shabby at all. Any place you lived has a special meaning to me.”
Tang Hao felt warmth in his heart as he held her hand tightly.
They hugged each other gently for a moment before someone called them downstairs for lunch.
Tang Hao held her hand and walked to the village committee. Almost the entire village was there.
Tang Hao sat down, and the banquet began. The atmosphere was extremely lively.
The banquet ended after eating for more than two hours.
In the afternoon, Tang Hao and Tang Dashun discussed the new plot of land.
He decided to accept the plot of land after thinking about it. After all, this was his hometown. He would build a new house, which he could stay in temporarily whenever he felt like it.
After the discussions, Tang Hao bid farewell to the villagers and returned to the village entrance. He got in the car and left.
Qin Xiangyi brought him to survey the site of the new clothing factory.
The site covered several hundred acres of land, and construction of the new factory had begun. The factory building and office building were designed according to the highest standards, which was quite expensive.
Tang Hao had paid for most of it.
The new factory was also closer to home. It was less than ten minutes by car.
“I’m not Boss Qin or Factory Manager Qin anymore. Remember, call me President, President Qin!”
The car stopped on a piece of barren land not far from the factory.
In the car, Qin Xiangyi hugged him and giggled.
Her beautiful eyes narrowed into the shape of crescent moons.
She bit her lips with her pearly white teeth. The light in her eyes was charming and somewhat seductive.
“Yes! President Qin!”
Tang Hao’s heart warmed up. He gave in to his instincts and pushed her down.
In an instant, a cry of surprise followed by a gentle moan spread far and wide across the barren land.
