Chapter 1744: Marriage

The good news Wang Yan brought back spread throughout the county in a very short time.

"What? He didn't die? And he sold everything in the whole county?"

"It's not the goods of the whole county, it's the goods our whole county can produce in a year."

"Mountain God bless, luckily Wang Yan wasn't beaten to death, otherwise wouldn't our big business this time be finished?"

Wang Yan indeed brought good days to the county, but as time went by, the heart of gratitude faded. Besides, those who earned money from tourists were ultimately a minority. Even from the perspective of the whole county, everyone benefited, but obviously, the masses would not think about those things. They would only think straight: Did I directly earn money from tourists?

So when the rumor started that Wang Yan was beaten to death, everyone was certainly regretful, but there was no lack of some mentality of watching the fun.

However, now that the matter had become closely related to everyone in the county, they were filled with righteous indignation and lingering fear. The agricultural and pastoral output of the whole county, plus other various handmade products, were all produced on a family basis, and the prices were much higher than before. Everyone earned money and lived a good life.

If such days continued for three or five years, everyone would be moderately prosperous ahead of schedule.

But this was obviously unrealistic; there were natural and man-made disasters, with bumper harvests and crop failures. Perhaps the Old Heaven always targeted the poor; when life was about to get better, there was always a blow to the head.

It seemed like following the main force to charge in stock speculation; when you were thinking about the next daily limit, the next trading day would greet you with a daily limit down...

"Everyone in the county has to thank you, saying that the country sent a good cadre to lead everyone to live a good life."

In his own house, Wang Yan was using paint to draw various ethnic patterns on the wall. Xiao Yan was holding the ladder below, looking up at Wang Yan, with a sense of pride in her tone.

"This isn't praising me; it belongs to stirring up trouble."

"Is that wrong?"

"Think about it, I'm only a deputy section-level cadre, a person who does things below. If the one leading everyone to live a good life is me, where do I put the leaders of the County Party Committee? Could it be that they are all just occupying positions without doing work, and only I am doing things?"

Xiao Yan looked left and right, then whispered: "Even if it's not you alone doing things, you are the only one who got things done. The county has been tossing for several years. From the time I heard about opening up and engaging in economy when I was a child, to now, it's been more than ten years, and four secretaries have been changed. Tossing back and forth, there has been no change in the county.

It's only after you came that in less than a year, there has been a change in the county, and people's lives have improved a lot. I don't know about other places, but since tourists came, the money collected from seeing patients in the hospital has been more than before. Those who were in arrears also came to pay back some money, and the hospital's days have been much better."

Wang Yan laughed: "Just say this to me, don't say it outside."

"Our hospital all says so. It was originally the case, can't we say it?" Xiao Yan looked up, not understanding Wang Yan's humility.

"No matter how capable a person is, they can't accomplish things alone; I just opened a beginning. Of course, the role of my beginning is quite important, but it doesn't mean others are not important. You don't think about it, so many tourists came, how were they entertained? This time we collected so many goods and had to package them, did I do it?"

"I just moved my mouth; the actual work was still done by everyone in the county working together, only then could things be accomplished."

"You are just too humble." Xiao Yan was somewhat unconvinced, "Look at you, you even attracted jealousy for doing things. More than a dozen people were waiting specifically to intercept and kill you; how dangerous."

"They are all a bunch of idiots, not worth worrying about."

"Not worth worrying about? More than a dozen guns! You don't know, at that time everyone said you were beaten to death; do you know I was scared to death?"

Wang Yan said: "You don't think about it, I took a gun and fought dozens of people alone, how could I be easily beaten to death? This kind of thing might happen in the future; don't think blindly if you haven't seen my corpse."

"I'm thinking about it now." Xiao Yan had a crying tone, thinking of the scene of Wang Yan's corpse being exposed in the wilderness.

"Then you are not caring about me, you are cursing me. Stop thinking about it, look at how I drew?"

On the red paint background, many mysterious patterns were drawn with gold and black paint, which really looked quite like it.

Since this house was allocated, Wang Yan would do it himself when he was resting at home, and he would slowly save up the wood for furniture and the like.

In this regard, he was still quite authoritative; his carpentry work was really good, and the mountain patrol team members were amazed after seeing it. Zha Cuo and He Qingyuan both brought wood to him, asking him to help make furniture when he was free.

This was not a problem for him; he just treated it as passing the time. After all, if you really talk about it, he was actually very idle.

It was like this very moment, the whole county was busy preparing to send goods, and the leaders in the county were studying how to ask the city for support and loans, and studying how to start construction in the county as discussed in the meeting before. It seemed that there were no idle people.

On the contrary, Wang Yan, who had started so many things, suddenly became idle. After all, the business was negotiated, the money was in the account, and the standards for various products were clear. Later, as long as he occasionally spot-checked to ensure the promotion of various things and that the product quality didn't have problems, that would be a great success.

It was also because there was nothing to do during this period that Wang Yan refined the house more exquisitely on the basis of what had already been tidied up, and prepared to get married...

Wang Yan's wedding was still quite grand; half of the people from the County People's Congress arrived, as well as He Qingyuan, Zha Cuo, and others from the mountain patrol team. Even tourists, hearing that Wang Yan was getting married, all followed suit with gifts and joined the meal and drinks.

The place for the wedding banquet was in his own courtyard. His own courtyard didn't have enough space, so he went to the neighbors. Fortunately, on the left was his father-in-law's house, and the other neighbors were all familiar old neighbors, so it was easy to discuss.

The chef was a familiar person found by Xiao Yan's father, who used to cook big pot meals for people. After having the tourist business, he also opened a small restaurant in the county, and the business was quite good. For Wang Yan's wedding, their family didn't even do business and came over to help, thanking Wang Yan.

Wang Yan and Xiao Yan entertained many strangers enthusiastically together, saying polite words.

Feng Keqing trotted over, stretching out his hands from afar: "Oh my, Manager Wang, I finally caught up with your wedding after rushing. Oh my, the sister-in-law is really beautiful, like a fairy in the sky, absolutely a Zhuoma on the plateau."

He indeed had exhaustion on his face, looking like he hadn't rested well.

"Boss Feng is a busy person, it's never too late whenever you come." Wang Yan responded, "Go inside, Boss Feng, County Magistrate Lin and the others are all in the room."

Feng Keqing said yes repeatedly, saying: "Manager Wang, I'm really sorry, my loan came down slowly. I wanted to give it to your company first, who would have thought it never came down. But fortunately, Boss Wang has heaven-defying ability, actually making those big bosses willing to pay and take goods in advance."

Wang Yan nodded with a smile, dragging his arm: "It's a wedding day, don't talk about work, Boss Feng, hurry in."

"It's been so long, but the thing I promised to guarantee hasn't been done well, I feel bad in my heart. I wanted to find you before, but we kept missing each other."

"Then you just think about handing in this environmental protection fund later. I believe that since Boss Feng has already promised, you definitely won't find other excuses."

"That's for sure, don't worry, Manager Wang, as soon as the loan is handled, I will transfer the money to the Economic Development Company's account immediately. Congratulations, congratulations, I'll go in first."

Feng Keqing cupped his hands in blessing, smiled, and entered the room to eat with Secretary Chen and others.

Starting from the table of County Party Committee leaders, Wang Yan took Xiao Yan to toast table by table, chatting and laughing with guests, and also accepting the kind blessings of tourists, and giving warm responses.

It wasn't until the afternoon that the wedding activities of the day were finally over.

"Tired?" Wang Mu looked at Xiao Yan who was forcing herself to eat, and said, "We were very tired when we got married, and you had so many people coming, you had to smile and greet everyone, it was almost half a life."

Zha Cuo was gnawing on bones on the side: "We were also tired when we got married, but not as tired as you. I feel like the whole county came. College students, they are all here to bless you, and the Mountain God also blesses you."

Shao Yunfei was also present: "No, why didn't I understand? Zha Cuo, how did you connect Wang Yan's marriage with the Mountain God?"

"That's because you don't understand, I don't blame you. So many people came, which shows that the college student is popular in Mazhi County, and the Mountain God's gaze will naturally fall here." Zha Cuo's face was full of "no one understands the Mountain God better than me."

"Only you understand the Mountain God? You say the Mountain God's gaze is here, so it is?" Shao Yunfei retorted unhappily.

Wang Yan laughed: "Zha Cuo is the most devout believer of the Mountain God and is closest to the Mountain God. He has mastered the interpretation rights of the Mountain God. If he says it's here, it must be here."

"You just spoil him." Bai Ju couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard it.

Wang Yan looked at Shao Yunfei again, asking with a smile: "Reporter Shao, do you not believe Zha Cuo's interpretation of the Mountain God's blessing, or do you not believe that I am popular in Mazhi County?"

Shao Yunfei was stunned for a moment, really choked and didn't know how to say it.

He could only say unhappily: "Let me tell you, Wang Yan, you are still young and have a long way to go. You can't learn to be bad; the people of Mazhi County are counting on you to lead them to make money."

"It's not because your mouth is broken." Bai Ju glared at him, "No, are you leaving or not? You've been here for more than half a year, right?"

"A few days ago, our president talked to me, saying that I should be stationed here and closely follow and pay attention to the development of our Mazhi County. Not only that, he also said that in view of the good response to the manuscripts I published some time ago, he also gave me a part of a salary increase."

Shao Yunfei was complacent, making Bai Ju's teeth itch with anger. Although they didn't share life and death in the no-man's land this time, after a long time of getting along, they had already established a relationship. The two of them bickered and flirted daily.

It was also as Shao Yunfei said, in the past period of time, he reported a lot about the mountain patrol team, and later, because of Wang Yan's actions, it expanded to the Economic Development Company, and then to the whole Mazhi County.

The response was indeed good, because at this time the hot search didn't withdraw so quickly, and many people were still thinking about the hot Mazhi County, thinking about the stories in that no-man's land.

Shao Yunfei's reports were reprinted by many newspapers, as mentioned before, keeping the exposure of Mazhi County and often appearing in other people's vision.

It indeed attracted more tourists here, bringing more income to Mazhi County. At the same time, it also expanded the basic market of Mazhi County. After all, the more people who have been here, the larger the scope of diffusion, and the more people attracted in the future.

And the most significant change in Mazhi County was that many saplings were planted on the road, and much vegetation was planted, but most of them withered, but in the end, a few survived, but they still had many challenges in the future, and the nearest one was to survive the winter on the plateau.

A sapling was also planted in Wang Yan's courtyard, but it didn't survive, and he planned to wait until next spring to plant it again to try...

Everyone was close, and after the activities ended, they talked and drank with Wang Yan and his wife, and then didn't continue to disturb them.

"It's so lively today, once they leave, I feel empty." Xiao Yan felt a sense of loss.

"It's only been lively for one day, and you feel empty?"

"My ears haven't been quiet for this whole day, and now it's so quiet all of a sudden, I feel uncomfortable." Xiao Yan pointed to the puppy lying in the corner, "Look, it fell asleep while gnawing on a bone."

This was a Tibetan Mastiff puppy that Xiao Yan wanted to raise and her eldest brother found; it was silly and clumsy, quite cute.

"You talk about this matter, there is a lot of knowledge in it, and it can't be explained clearly for a while."

Xiao Yan curled her lips and said instead: "I feel like after getting married, it's no different from before."

"We have already lived together for a long time, and people have been gossiping for several months, so it's not that there's no difference." Wang Yan waved his hand, "Alright, tired for a day, let's tidy up quickly and lie on the bed to talk."

In fact, they didn't say anything; not long after lying on the bed, the exhausted Xiao Yan fell into a deep sleep...

It was also just as Xiao Yan said, there was no difference before and after marriage; Xiao Yan still went to work in the hospital, while Wang Yan leisurely handled various problems.

For example, the factory needed to be upgraded, and some machines were found to replace part of the manual work to increase production. He also had to purchase from surrounding areas and earn the price difference until his hands were soft.

And as the weather gradually turned cold, the tourist season suitable for Mazhi County was completely over. Except for a few tourists who didn't believe in evil, more people still believed. The liveliness of Mazhi County also faded.

Not only that, the project that Mazhi County had just planned and just started also stopped construction. It seemed that everything was back to the way it was before, and it seemed different.

But in the end, it was the same.

"Just finished the crackdown, and in less than a year, there are poachers who don't want their lives and entered the mountains to hunt sheep."

At the company's office in the county, Duo Jie received the news and couldn't help but curse, getting up and wanting to go out.

He paused again, looking at Wang Yan who was fiddling with the stove and drinking milk tea on the side, "Are you going to patrol the mountains?"
