Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 755 Where is he?

When Xiaowei and his friends returned to Fengtian, they found that they couldn't find their way home.

Everyone at the guesthouse is working normally, but Geng Hui, Chen Xiao, and Aunt Wang are not there.

Back in Wanliu, when they arrived at Chen Hui's courtyard, there was no one there either, not even the housekeeper. Xiao Wei and Chen Hui exchanged bewildered glances.

Wang Gang's eyes lit up as he looked at Chen Hui's yard: "Damn, this is what life is all about! This little yard is awesome!"

Miler's family also lives in a villa, while the government uses old buildings from the past, and they look at the main building with envy.

Li Weibing looked at Xiaowei and Chen Hui: "What's wrong with you two? What happened?"

Xiao Wei thought for a moment and asked Chen Hui, "Could it be that something happened to Geng Hui?"

Chen Hui frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem like it. If it were, they would at least call us, right? Damn, why don't you just call and ask? Are you stupid?" He picked up the phone and dialed.

Xiao Wei bit his lip as he watched Chen Hui make a phone call.

Chen Hui stopped dialing halfway and looked at Xiao Wei: "I understand."

Xiao Wei was taken aback: "Huh?"

Chen Hui waved his hand and said, "Get in the car, get in the car, let's go, you can't go wrong. You're blind too, think it over carefully."

Chen Hui climbed into the driver's seat, Xiao Wei got into the passenger seat, and Wang Gang and the other two got into the car and closed the door. Chen Hui started the engine, reversed, and drove back. When they reached the south gate of the park, they drove directly to the construction site in front of the headquarters building.

Construction has stopped, and the machinery and equipment are neatly arranged. The exterior walls of the building have been sealed, but no noodles have been hung yet, so it looks a bit messy. The bottom three floors, along with the factory buildings and the annex on the right, are finished. The factory side is being painted, while the main building and the annex are using granite.

The three-story building opposite the main building is now complete, with all the pipes installed. Compared to other buildings of this era, it stands as a rather grand and beautiful row of buildings, its exterior painted in a bronze color. The lower floors are all unfurnished, with only one room at the very end set up as a temporary office.

The equipment in the factory was almost fully installed, the transformer was in place, and the three-phase power supply was already running, coordinating with the equipment installation. Several vehicles were parked inside and out, and the power supply company and Han San's people were busy working. There were also people moving furniture, probably from their own furniture factory, but I didn't recognize any of them.

Xie Xiaolong was standing by the roadside talking to Han San when he waved towards Xiao Wei's car. Chen Hui pulled over, rolled down the window, and said, "Brother Long, Brother San is here too. Is it almost done here?"

Xie Xiaolong said, "It would be fine if you came one more day tomorrow. I've already notified everyone; they'll come tomorrow afternoon, and the hired bus will pick them up first thing tomorrow morning. Old Xu is currently installing furniture here, and the dormitory will be ready today. You guys just got back?"

Chen Hui laughed heartily and said, "That's right, we just arrived, and then Xiao Wei couldn't find his way home. Haha, there was no one around, and the building doors were locked. Neither of us had a key."

Xie Xiaolong glanced at Xiao Wei in the car: "You didn't know?"

Xiao Wei asked, "Huh?"

Chen Hui laughed and said, "You don't need to tell him, I already guessed it. He hasn't quite come to his senses yet. Anyway, you go ahead and do your work. Third Brother, stand here for a bit, don't leave today, we'll be drinking later." Han San agreed.

Chen Hui drove straight in. The yard was all set up, with a double wrought iron gate, the golden spearheads on it gleaming in the sunlight. Xiao Wei slapped his forehead: "Damn, I'm such an idiot, moving."

Chen Hui laughed heartily as he drove the car into the yard, stopped at the garage entrance, and turned to Wang Gang and the other two, saying, "This is Xiao Wei's yard. Look at what a yard looks like. It's just too big. There are too few of us in the family, and my parents are too busy, so it's really inconvenient."

Five people got off the bus.

The right side of the courtyard is full of fruit trees that were moved in the summer. They have already lost some leaves, but they are still lush and green. In front of the annex building is a driveway paved with flagstones, which curves around the pond and leads to the front of the main building.

The pond's edge is decorated with stones in an irregular shape, topped with a rockery. At the narrowest point of the water's surface opposite is a pavilion that extends over the water. Willow trees are planted along the pond's edge, and to the right is a stone-paved pedestrian path that winds its way from the main entrance through the orchard, connecting to a large pavilion at the corner of the woods, then turning left to reach the pavilion by the pond.

Through the trees, you can vaguely see the main building and a few people sitting and talking in the pavilion by the pond.

Wang Gang glanced at the annex building in front, looked around, and said, "Isn't this just a park? It's really good to be rich. Which way do we go? Let me see inside."

Chen Hui pointed to the path and said, "This way is closer, that way is a bigger detour. You don't need to look after Xiao Wei, I know this courtyard better than he does now, I'll be the one supervising him when he goes out from now on."

Xiao Wei smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, I've basically never been inside since the house was built. Let's go, this way."

The five of them walked along the path, which was not short to begin with, and the path was winding. When they reached the large pavilion, they turned left and walked flat for a while to reach the waterside pavilion before turning north to reach the main road. The walk was about sixty or seventy meters long.

Li Weibing looked at the trees on both sides and said, "These are all fruit trees?" His maternal grandfather lived in the countryside, so he knew some trees and flowers.

Xiao Wei said, "Well, I like to eat fruit, and since I'm planting trees anyway, I might as well plant fruit trees. There are all sorts of trees, and if they bear fruit, we can eat them; if they don't, we can just use them for landscaping."

Wang Gang said, "It's wonderful. Even a rough person like me feels good about it. This is what a human place should be like. This courtyard, this grove of trees, it's absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to see what it looks like when it blooms in spring."

Xiao Wei said, "Come over in the spring. I already know, so I'll come visit whenever I have free time. There are plenty of houses available. The whole building is empty except for a few housekeepers."

Li Weibing asked, "Is this entire open space of yours filled with fruit trees?"

Xiao Wei said, "Not entirely. Over there, in the narrow section, there are a few grapevines, and over there, there's a patch of trees along the roadside, willows, and flowers and plants. The back of the house we live in is a vegetable garden. They're planning to build a greenhouse for winter so my parents can grow their own vegetables and don't want to live there. In that corner, there's a place they're going to raise chickens and ducks."

Chen Hui said, "We'll see what you do when it stinks."

Xiao Wei said, "Free-range chickens and ducks don't smell bad. You really don't understand. They can even fertilize the land. You just need to keep the roads clean."

Wang Gang said, "It's good to keep some dogs; they bring life to your home. If you get two more big dogs, your house will be fully alive."

Upon reaching the pavilion and turning left onto the path, Li Weibing looked at the pavilion and said, "It sounds so comfortable to sit here in the summer, read a book, and have a cup of tea."

Miler touched his nose: "There can't be too many mosquitoes, can there?"
