Chapter 142 The Village is Flourishing
The villagers surrounded the distinguished-looking, richly dressed man and led him straight to the village head's house, which was also Hua Yeman's house.
At that moment, Grandpa happened to be at home. Upon hearing that a distinguished guest had arrived, he hurriedly and warmly welcomed and entertained this mysterious visitor.
After a conversation, it was learned that this person was actually a wealthy merchant from a distant place.
He had been navigating the business world for many years, accumulating astonishing wealth, yet he remained fascinated by the strange and wonderful things in the world.
By chance, he heard about the many wonders of the village at the foot of the mountain, and his heart was instantly filled with curiosity. So he did not hesitate to travel a long distance and go through all kinds of hardships to come and find out for himself.
He had long heard that the local people were simple and honest, and that the villagers lived in peace and contentment. Under the leadership of the three sisters, the village was thriving and becoming more prosperous. This sight filled him with endless longing for this mysterious village.
The wealthy merchant toured the village, his eyes filled with amazement at every place he visited.
He strolled along the ridges between the fields, looking at the fertile fields, where the endless crops swayed gently in the breeze, like a green ocean.
Then look at that beautiful pond, where fish swim happily, sometimes leaping out of the water and splashing up sparkling water droplets. The surface of the water ripples and shimmers with tiny sparkles under the sunlight.
He then entered the village and saw that the houses were arranged neatly and orderly.
Every house exudes a strong sense of daily life, with wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys, adding a touch of warmth and tranquility to the entire village.
The villagers were either working hard in the fields or chatting in the streets and alleys, their faces beaming with happy and content smiles.
Seeing this prosperous scene and witnessing the bright smiles on the villagers' faces, the wealthy businessman couldn't help but admire it greatly.
He thought to himself that this place was a treasure trove that had not yet been fully discovered.
He immediately made a decisive decision to invest in and build numerous industries here, helping the village move towards a more glorious future.
With the strong support and assistance of wealthy businessmen, Shanshan Village has undergone tremendous changes.
Workshops sprang up like mushrooms after rain in the village.
In the workshop, the artisans are all skillful and have superb craftsmanship. The handicrafts they make are exquisite and ingenious, and each piece is a treasure.
In the wood carving workshop, the craftsmen hold carving knives and focus on carving the wood in their hands. After a while, lifelike flowers, birds, fish and insects are born under their knives, as if they are about to take flight and jump around in the next second.
In the ceramic workshop, artisans carefully mix pigments, shaping the fine clay into various exquisite forms, which are then fired at high temperatures.
One by one, exquisitely crafted and brightly colored porcelain pieces were presented to the audience, their patterns so beautiful that they were irresistible.
These exquisite handicrafts quickly gained fame throughout the country upon their debut, and were sold far and wide via extensive trade routes, bringing enormous wealth to the village.
As wealth accumulated, the village roads were repaired, becoming wider and smoother, making travel much more convenient;
The houses have been renovated and expanded, becoming more spacious and bright. The originally rustic village has been given new life and vitality, presenting a vibrant scene everywhere.
To provide better opportunities for the children, the village also built a large-scale, well-equipped vocational school.
The academy invited craftsmen with unique skills to teach various exquisite techniques. There was a teacher who was good at calligraphy, and his brushstrokes fully demonstrated the unique charm of Chinese characters.
There are skilled painters who use their brushes to depict the beauty of all things in the world;
There are also highly skilled sculptors who patiently teach children how to transform ordinary stones into exquisite works of art.
There were also needlework masters who specialized in teaching needlework to women.
The children here are eagerly learning calligraphy, painting, sculpture, needlework, and other skills.
The teachers were all patient in their instruction, and the school was filled with a strong learning atmosphere.
Every morning, the sound of children reading aloud and their laughter echoes through the village—the sounds of hope and the future.
As time slowly passed, the reputation of Shanxia Village grew louder and louder, like a blazing fire, its dazzling light attracting more and more people to come and visit.
Some were shrewd and experienced businessmen who, with their keen business acumen, sensed the enormous business opportunities hidden here.
Many came seeking cooperation opportunities, hoping to expand their business here;
The village at the foot of the mountain exists like a paradise on earth.
This place not only boasts picturesque natural scenery, but also embodies a rich and unique local culture.
Those talented scholars and literati, upon hearing of this place, were all captivated by its beauty.
They spared no effort and traveled long distances just to personally experience the charm of this land.
When they stepped into this magical land, it was like fish swimming into the sea and birds flying into the mountains and forests, drawing inspiration and nourishment from it.
These literati and artists either wielded their brushes and ink, transforming the beautiful scenery before them into magnificent and colorful paintings;
Or they might use their pens as swords and paper as shields, employing exquisite poems and songs to express their love and praise for this land.
At the same time, there is a group of ordinary people who are tired of the hustle and bustle of big cities and yearn to find a peaceful and tranquil place to settle down and make a living.
Thus, this beautiful little village became their ideal place to live.
Here, they work at sunrise and rest at sunset, living a simple yet fulfilling life.
In the fields, hardworking figures can be seen everywhere; in the farmhouses and courtyards, bursts of laughter can be heard from time to time.
As time went by, the village market became increasingly prosperous and lively.
The dazzling array of goods is overwhelming, ranging from fresh and juicy fruits and vegetables to exquisite handicrafts and unique local specialties.
The stall owners enthusiastically solicited customers, their shouts echoing through the air.
Pedestrians strolled between the stalls, some stopping to pick out their favorite items, others haggling with the vendors—it was quite a lively scene!
Satisfied smiles graced people's faces, and the sounds of laughter and bargaining mingled together, creating a vibrant and lively scene of everyday life.
At this moment, the three sisters—Floral Vine, Floral Green, and Floral Grass—stood on a high point in the village, overlooking their increasingly prosperous and bustling homeland, their hearts filled with boundless pride and joy.
As they witnessed every change in the village and recalled the journey they had taken, they deeply understood that the prosperity of this village was inseparable from the efforts and contributions of everyone.
They secretly resolved to continue protecting this land full of hope and witness its brighter future.
However, this wonderful life attracted the envy and covetousness of some people.
