Anning’s wedding was quite lively.
The villagers of Fengtai Village, Erdaowan, and surrounding villages almost all ca to bless the newlyweds.
The road to Erdaowan was completely blocked by cars.
Besides relatives, friends, and villagers, quite a few tourists ca out of curiosity to observe.
After Anning was carried into the ho by Xiao Yuan from the bridal car, her dowry left people in awe.
For so many years, Erdaowan Village had seen many brides, yet none had had such a lavish dowry.
Especially after the youngsters who ca to tease the bride learned that all of Anning’s jewelry was real, the villagers were even more amazed.
The ones who initially wanted to tease the bride gave up on the idea.
After all, her jewelry was too precious, and if damaged, they couldn’t afford the compensation.
On this day, as the new bride, Anning was sitting in the room enjoying food and drinks quite comfortably, while Xiao Yuan had to entertain guests outside, being pulled away for toasts and such, and by the ti all the well-wishers had left, Xiao Yuan hadn’t had much hot food.
Once the outsiders left, only their family remained. Anning changed out of her wedding dress, put on a red dress, and went to the kitchen to heat up a al for Xiao Yuan.
Mother Xiao quickly said, "Go inside and chat with Erhu, I’ll heat the food for you. It’s not right for the bride to enter the kitchen on the first day."
Anning smiled and replied, "I’m not particular about these things."
But she obediently returned to the room.
Mother Xiao heated up the al and handed it to Xiao Yuan.
The day after the wedding, Anning and Xiao Yuan moved to live in Fengtai Village.
Given that the Xiao Family’s current housing situation was tight, there wasn’t enough space for everyone to live.
After she returned, she sent away Li Hai and his group and invited Qu Lan’s family to stay here for a few days to explore and relax.
After getting married, Xiao Yuan started taking on various projects, designing for people, and writing novels online.
Previously, he had made a living writing and was quite proficient at it.
At this point, the novel he was writing had been published, and was doing exceptionally well, almost instantly becoming a hit, with a film company wanting to buy the film rights for adaptation after it had been serialized for a while.
Xiao Yuan was actually hesitant to sell the rights, fearing that it would be altered into a ss.
Later, Mr. Zheng learned Xiao Yuan was the author and approached him, having a strong liking for the book and wanting to buy it for a TV series.
He promised that Xiao Yuan would have the right to adapt and act as the screenwriter to write the script, and Mr. Zheng would follow it strictly without making unchecked alterations.
Believing Mr. Zheng’s trustworthiness, Xiao Yuan sold the rights to him.
The money from selling the rights, the online subscriptions, and rewards, as well as earnings from his projects, were adequate to raise the house.
Thus, not waiting until next year or autumn, Xiao Yuan hired a construction team to start building right away.
He planned to demolish and rebuild the three houses he purchased first, leaving the family’s old residence untouched for the mont, as they intended to move into the new hos before they dealt with the old residence; otherwise, there would be nowhere to stay.
Xiao Yuan personally supervised the construction, making progress swiftly, with the main structures of the three houses established by autumn, followed by minor works, and all were fully furnished by next spring and sumr, with flowers and trees planted around the courtyard.
Anning’s growth fluid expedited the growth of flowers and trees remarkably, ensuring high survival rates, turning those houses into new attractions within Erdaowan by sumr.
That autumn and winter, Anning and Xiao Yuan moved to Erdaowan.
They lived in one house, Mr. Xiao and Mother Xiao lived in Xiao Chang’s house, while Xiao Huai, who was still studying, had an unused house that Mr. Xiao cleaned daily.
Also during that autumn and winter, Si Linna and Shao Wen finally tied the knot.
They registered their marriage without a grand ceremony, just a casual gathering with close friends, initially facing so dissatisfaction from the Shao Family regarding Si Linna.
Mrs. Shao felt that since Si Linna had previously married and given birth to a son, and Shao Wen was getting married for the first ti, Si Linna seed a bit unmatched for Shao Wen.
However, through interactions and hearing from Shao Wen about so of Si Linna’s qualities, she saw Si Linna as capable, ambitious, and well-tempered, gradually accepting her.
After Si Linna’s marriage, Liu Feifei also got married.
Interestingly, Liu Feifei had stayed in Fengtai Village to help Anning, and later Si Linna noticed her capabilities and involved her in business activities, earnestly teaching her various things.
anwhile, Xiao Chang took the civil service exam and worked in the county, with Liu Feifei enthusiastically following Si Linna to the county; Si Linna being Anning’s sister, and Xiao Chang being Xiao Yuan’s brother, made the two families related by marriage, so Xiao Chang naturally took good care of Si Linna in the county.
This allowed Xiao Chang and Liu Feifei to beco acquainted.
The Xiao Family was diligent and prudent, Xiao Chang being no exception, and these traits were what Liu Feifei appreciated.
Liu Feifei was lively and cheerful, and Xiao Chang liked such girls; thus, they started dating.
After Si Linna’s wedding, Xiao Chang proposed to Liu Feifei.
By winter, Xiao Chang and Liu Feifei were married.
After that ca Yan Rong and Yan ng, both passing their college entry exams, and Xiao Huai graduating from university chose not to seek work elsewhere but to return ho for developnt.
At this ti, Yinong Company had expanded significantly.
They no longer supplied vegetables exclusively to hotels but processed fruits and vegetables further, making various dried fruits, dehydrated vegetables, and pickles.
Not far from Fengtai Village, Anning specially planted nurous peppers in Qiangou Village to make pepper sauce, given the peppers there were particularly good, more flavorful than elsewhere, and the sauce turned out so delicious, it sold rapidly overseas at high prices.
Furthermore, Erdaowan’s flowers were selling extraordinarily well.
The high price of the famous flowers was outrageous, yet they were hard to obtain.
Over the past year of developnt, Yinong Company had recouped their initial investnt and were profitable, distributing handso dividends to villagers who signed land contracts with Yinong, leading to prosperity across the region.
Seeing the prospect of Yinong’s growth, Xiao Huai decided to stay.
He had learned floriculture technology from Anning and was in charge of several flower fields in Erdaowan.
In a few years, Yinong grew stronger, becoming the largest agriculture company in Hua Country, driving economic growth in Y County, which turned into a renowned tourist haven nationwide.
Villagers now had houses because Anning convened etings urging them not to buy cars.
The concern was that Yinong relied on agriculture and tourism for inco, and if everyone bought cars, it would impact local traffic and environnt, essentially destroying their livelihood.
Upon hearing this, the villagers imdiately dropped the idea of buying cars.
At this ti, Si Linna undertook a new round of integration managent.
She expanded village roads, establishing shuttle buses for villagers to reach the county, while tourists parked cars in town and took buses to villages, with inter-village transportation available.
Each village had plenty of tour buses, ensuring no waiting for tourists.
Buses included guides introducing villages’ scenery and specialties.
Old artisans from Fengtai Village beca highly sought after; many visitors ca to see elderly craftspeople weave using ancient techniques, watch them roast tea leaves, and make jams, buying lots of local specialties before leaving.
