Siheyuan: Shazhu's Life Simulator

According to the old rules, Xu Fugui would visit for three days and three nights.

But times have changed, so Xu Damao keeps everything simple.

He has to pay attention to everything now if he wants to be famous.

After Xu Fugui was seen paying his respects, he was sent up the mountain.

The threshing ground in the village began to become busy, and the women in the village also took the initiative to help.

Meat and vegetables were brought back in truckloads, and the aroma of meat filled the entire village.

Although life was better, people were still happy to eat meat. In order to save face, Xu Damao had everything from chicken, duck, fish and meat.

We also got seafood, game, etc. that you can’t usually eat.

Xu Damao: "Brother Zhu, I need your help with the road construction."

He Yuzhu: "It's not a big deal. He was also mean to me when Uncle Xu was here."

"You contact someone, and I'll have someone rush over. It would be best if we can finish repairing this road in the village before the seventh day."

Xu Damao nodded: "Keep repairing until the foot of the mountain."

He Yuzhu: "Why not just have a seven-day banquet? The population of the village is limited anyway."

"It's a good opportunity for everyone to join the battle, so it's convenient to eat and drink, and work harder."

After the two discussed it, He Yuzhu called You Fengxia.

"Fengxia, ask the construction company to send someone to do it."

"How many people should I send?"

He Yuzhu: "Let the contractor come. No coolies are needed, mainly machinery and skilled workers."

"Okay, I'll send someone over now."

Before the evening, He Yuzhu met the contractor.

"Mr. He."

He Yuzhu stood at the entrance of the village: "This road will be built all the way to the end, to the foot of the mountain."

"The construction period is seven days."

The contractor frowned and said, "The machinery is not a problem. We can dispatch a few more machines. But what about the labor?"

"There are plenty of people in the village, so there's no need to worry about this."

"That's good. As long as we have enough manpower and work day and night, it won't take seven days."

"Of course, this road cannot be used immediately after it is paved. It will take a few days before it can be used."

He Yuzhu: "Just build it, we don't care when to use it."

Xu Damao has already had people transport the cement back, and truckloads of cement are entering the village.

Dinner is not yet served, and the villagers put down their bowls.
Xu Damao: "My dear old men, let's eat first, and we'll talk after we finish eating!"

"That's great. Our village can have a stone road now."

"Yeah, when it rains, there are potholes and mud everywhere."

"When you work, be quick and efficient. Who dares to be lazy?"

Everyone in the village, young and old, men, women, and children were extremely excited.

Xu Damao stood on a stool, holding a wine glass in his hand: "Fellow villagers, our buffet will last for seven days."

"Everyone, please work hard and finish building this road within seven days."

"Xu's kid, we are very grateful that you built the road for us."

"You don't have to worry about this buffet."

"Yes, it's arranged in Liushuixi Village."

Xu Damao: "No, we've already agreed on this."

"Hey, the mayor is here."

"Boss Xu, I heard that cement has been delivered to the village. Come and have a look."

The mayor was followed by many town officials.

Xu Damao: "Yes, I plan to let everyone start working in the evening while it's cool."

"I would like to thank the villagers..."

Xu Damao said, "This is what I should do."

Someone in the crowd from the town said, "Boss Xu, now that we have the cement road, should we also install street lights?"

The mayor's face turned fierce: "What are you talking about?"

He was afraid that Xu Damao was overthinking, but was Xu Damao an ordinary person?

Very smart, they must have discussed it before coming.

Xu Damao doesn't lack this little money. As long as he can do something good for his fellow villagers and bring honor to the Xu family, that will be enough.

"This comrade."

"That's a good suggestion. I neglected it. We should install street lights every few dozen meters."

"Okay, Boss Xu is kind and righteous."

Everyone applauded him and Xu Damao waved his hand.

Li Liping: "Da Mao, although we don't live in the village, why don't we rebuild the old house so that we will have a place to stay when we come back to worship our father."

Xu Damao: "My wife is right, but we need to build the road first."

The villagers shouted, "Let's send some people to help Xu Damao repair the house."

Xu Damao: "Will this delay the construction?"

"Build the road first, then build the house after the road is built."

"This time I want to tear down the house and rebuild it, and I need the village and the town government to get the necessary paperwork for me!"

"Don't worry, Boss Xu. We will take care of this little thing for you tomorrow."

They wanted Xu Damao to build roads for the town as well, but now was not a good time to ask.

No matter how rich the person is, he has already spent a lot recently, so you can't scare him away all of a sudden.

After dinner, everyone started eating that night.

The first thing to do was to repair the road surface, and the entire village went out to do it.

The effect is amazing. There is no need to urge them. Everyone is working hard with full energy.

The women also cooked mung bean soup for him to quench his thirst, but Xu Damao could not do it after just a few minutes.

Wait till midnight.

Xu Damao found the village chief and said: "Let's divide the work into two shifts. Let some people take a rest and continue working during the day."

The village chief said: "No need, everyone go and rest, and we will continue working in the morning."

Xu Damao: "Can everyone's body handle these ten hours?"

"Hey, the autumn harvest is even more tiring than this. This is nothing."

Xu Damao thought so too.

Then he found the women and said, "Aunties, please make some meat porridge tomorrow morning so that everyone can eat well and be healthy."

"Don't worry, Xu's kid. We will make all the arrangements."

He Yuzhu and Zhao Jianshe went to Xu's house to rest. Although it was a mud house, it was quite cool.

"Iron Army."

"dad."

"You can go back tomorrow."

"Business matters cannot be separated from you, I am here for you."

Xu Tiejun: “Hey.”

Xu Damao: "Come back after your grandfather's first seven days of cremation."

"Okay, I'll go back tomorrow morning."

"Daughter-in-law, you should go back too."

Xu's mother: "I won't go back."

"Okay, let Liping stay and take care of you."

Xu Huiqiu and Xu Xiaomei: "We'll stay too."

Xu Damao: "You guys go up to the mountain and clean up our graveyard in the next few days and remove the weeds."

"Sprinkle some wood ash around to repel snakes and insects."

The next day.

dawn.

Xu Tiejun went back with his wife and children.

For breakfast, everyone has steamed buns, meat porridge, and eggs.

The eggs were sent by the villagers voluntarily.

He Yuzhu and Xu Damao went to take a look and found that a long distance of road surface had been leveled last night. Everyone worked in batches and were ready to start paving the road this morning.

He Yuzhu: "Da Mao, what are you going to do with your old house?"

Xu Damao: "I know what Liping means. Actually, I don't want to stay here either. I just want to save face."

"Let's build a small western-style building."

He Yuzhu: "The third floor, right?"

“Two floors look nice now, but in the future when every household has money, they will become ordinary.”

Xu Damao: "I'll find a decoration company and let them do it."

Let professionals do professional things. The decoration company came and produced the drawings in just one day.

Xu Damao thought the plan was good, so he asked the decoration company to start the work.

The old house was demolished, the foundation was laid, and a new house was rebuilt, but Xu Damao did not ask the villagers for help.

Li Liping and her colleagues removed the weeds around Xu Fugui's grave and drove away snakes, insects, rats and ants.

When Xu Damao was alone, an old woman walked towards him.

"Permit for screening."

Ok?
After many years, Xu Damao heard this name again.

"you are?"

"Xu Fangying, I'm Song Meilian!"

Xu Damao thought for a long time but couldn't remember Song Meilin.

The woman said again, "Send it to the widow."

Oh!
Xu Damao remembered.

Those were all ridiculous things that happened back then. I met the young widow when I was a projectionist.

"You're looking for me, what's wrong?"

"No, I just wanted to catch up with you."

·····
Reminiscing about the past? You are already old, why are you reminiscing about the past with me?

"I have something else to do, so there's no need to reminisce."

"Xu Fangying, why don't you go to my house and sit for a while?"

"No, no, no."

Xu Damao fled in panic. It would be so embarrassing if people knew about this.

"Da Mao, what are you doing?"

Li Liping saw Xu Damao coming back in a hurry with sweat on his forehead, so she took a towel to wipe it off for him.

Xu Damao: 'I'll do it myself.'

"This damn weather is so hot and muggy."

Li Liping: "It was fine this morning."

Xu Damao: "I'm going to go get some fan."

Li Liping didn't think much about it and thought he was sweating after taking a walk outside.

Xu Damao did not show up in the next few days and just avoided Widow Song.

He Yuzhu has also returned to the city, and it’s good that the intention is there.

Chen Xueru: "I've prepared the bath water for you."

"Go and wash."

Mu Chunhua: "I'll go make you a bowl of oil-splashed noodles."

He Yuzhu felt very comfortable soaking in the bathtub.

After taking a shower, I wolfed down a big bowl of oil-splashed noodles.

"Is there anything important these days?"

"Yes, one of the old houses that the brothers bought has been issued a demolition notice."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I didn't expect it to be so fast."

Chen Xueru continued: "We also have houses that need to be demolished."

He Yuzhu: "Isn't this just perfect? ​​I got the compensation before the matter was dealt with."

"Has anyone from the Huo family come?"

"I'm here. I've finalized the deal with Fengxia. I've bought a few plots of undeveloped land, and some properties that are being developed and sold."

He Yuzhu: "What's the price?"

“The price of the land is definitely not as high as that of an existing house, but the location of the land is good, so the price is naturally not cheap.”

He Yuzhu: "The Huo family has finished eating it, so we can sell it to Li Chaoren."

"Set aside some money for the children, keep some to invest in real estate, and take out a loan if the money is not enough."

"As long as we pay the interest, the bank is willing to lend us money."

"A few hundred billion is no problem."

Chen Xueru: "Don't worry, Fengxia can handle all these things."

Mu Chunhua took out a pack of cigarettes that she didn't recognize.

"Try it, these are cigarettes we produce ourselves."

He Yuzhu smoked one and said, "It might be popular among young people."

"why?"

"This cigarette is a bit weak. Older people like it strong."

"How much is this cigarette priced at?"

"Two dollars a pack."

He Yuzhu frowned: "So cheap?"

"No way, this is already a top-notch cigarette for dried fruit."

He Yuzhu: "Take your time."

"Money is still more than enough!"

"It would be nice if I had enough money to buy another batch of equipment."

Chen Xueru: "Unless we are willing to hand over all our assets."

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Then hand it over."

"Only Internet companies remain."

"Hand over the others and exchange them for something that can fly in the sky, something that can do water conservancy, or something that can run on the ground."

"Now is the era of real estate, we just need to hold on to real estate."

"We can also export the automobile industry to make money. As for computers and telephones, as long as the technology is preserved, it's not a big deal."

Mu Chunhua: "Are you really willing to give it up?"

"This means that the business empire you have worked hard for your entire life is being handed over to someone else."

He Yuzhu: "There's nothing I'm reluctant to do. It depends on whether the temptation is big enough."

"Our industry is still too backward. Although we have technical support, we still have to take our time. It is too difficult to catch up."

"We can only improve our hardware capabilities in this way, and then we can do it slowly by following suit."

"Xueru, you should handle this matter yourself. Fengxia is too young."

Chen Xueru: "Okay, we have a pretty good relationship with Mr. Hu."

"I think he would."

Indeed, Chen Xueru was right, the communication on this matter was very good.

With the support of the He family, he has great hope of being re-elected.

Seven days later.

The road in the village has been repaired.

Xu Tiejun also came back to pay tribute to Xu Fugui.

The last buffet filled the village with excitement the entire evening.

The Xu family also left.

The road is a road to wealth, and the street lights are lights of wealth. Xu Damao has achieved his goal.

After returning, Xu Damao also went to find You Fengxia.

"Fengxia, I want the property too."

"Brother Damao, why don't you just go and bid for the land? That way the profit will be higher!"

Xu Damao: "Hey, I may earn less from the ready-made ones, but it saves time!"

"I'll arrange to get a loan from the bank right now. Please save some good stuff for me."

You Fengxia: "No problem, the land is still available, go and raise the money."

night.

He Yuzhu has an appointment with a beautiful lady.

I drank some Hubian wine before leaving. I need external assistance as I’m old.

In the hotel's garden, He Yuzhu was followed by a beautiful snake.

Snakes have no feet and can only crawl on the ground.

There are a lot of mosquitoes in the summer, and when the beautiful snake girl returned, she found that her body was covered with many bites.

But after He Yuzhu's promise, it was all worth it.

"If you let the Xu family know that you have come to see me many times, they will know what to do."

Siyan: "Thank you, Mr. He."

He Yuzhu: "This is what you deserve."

Xu Tiejun has been preparing for the company's listing.

"Godfather."

"Godmother."

"The Iron Army is here, sit down quickly."

"Godfather, godmother, you seem to be in good spirits."

He Yuzhu: "Haha, if you eat well and sleep well, your body will be healthy."

"Godfather, this is for you."

"what is this?"

"Shares in the company?"

He Yuzhu: "No need to give it to me."

"Godfather, please accept it. This is also a token of our love."

Chen Xueru advised: "It's not much, just accept it as a token of the child's kindness."

Mu Chunhua: "Yes, Tiejun is a filial child."

He Yuzhu: "That's fine, godfather accepts it."

"Is your grandma okay?"

"Well, my aunts are with him now."

He Yuzhu: "Not going back?"

"Second Aunt asked Uncle to go back and look after the business."

"But from what I heard from my second aunt, she also wants to shift her focus."

"This way, my second aunt can visit grandma more often, and my eldest aunt can live in my house and accompany grandma with my mom every day."

He Yuzhu: "Sister Huiqiu is great."

"She was very kind to you when you were a child."

"I remember it."

"Okay, as long as you haven't forgotten."

After inviting Tiejun to have a meal at home, Xu Tiejun left.

"Brother Zhu, why did Damao suddenly give away shares?"

"This kid, just this little trick,"

"He is worried that after our generation is gone, there will be no one to take care of the Xu family."

"It can be regarded as leaving a way out for the Xu family."

Chen Xueru: "Da Mao is overthinking."

"Based on the relationship between our two families, Aiguo and his brothers will not ignore the Xu family in the future."

Mu Chunhua: "Yes, during the time when you disappeared, I was no longer a patriot and a people lover, and I became more sensible."

"Otherwise, our family wouldn't be able to take care of the Xu family like this." (End of this chapter)
