Chapter 1462

The tourism industry in Changshan County was currently under development. With the broadcast of Fu Weiping's documentary on the scenery, the beautiful scenery of Changshan County was known to people across the country, and the tourism industry in Changshan County was bound to become very popular. However, the hotel industry in Changshan County was currently lagging behind the development of the tourism industry.

Changshan County town only had some relatively old guesthouses, most of which were state-run. As for those that were a bit more upscale and could receive relatively important guests, there was only the County Party Committee Guesthouse. As Changshan County town became more and more prosperous, there might be more private inns and guesthouses, but in terms of the high-end hotel industry, it was still a blank slate.

Now that the Hou Group was entering the high-end hotel industry in Changshan County, it was just the right time. By the time their hotel was built, the tourism market in Changshan County would definitely have been cultivated to be relatively mature, and there would definitely be more and more tourists coming to Changshan County for tourism. At that time, this hotel could basically monopolize the high-end hotel market in Changshan County.

On Saturday morning, Su Xinghui went to Zhang Kaishan's house and chatted with him. For the rest of the weekend, he accompanied Lu Xiaoya. Next month, on his twenty-fifth birthday, he would register his marriage with Lu Xiaoya, and by then, they would be a legal couple. Before that, he naturally wanted to accompany Lu Xiaoya as much as possible.

Since they fell in love, Su Xinghui had always been busy, and he really hadn't spent much time with Lu Xiaoya. Therefore, he always felt he owed Lu Xiaoya something. Now that he was back home, he naturally accompanied her whenever he could.

The two strolled along the banks of Zhong Ming Lake. The park by Zhong Ming Lake had already been built, and there were quite a few people playing there on the weekend. This park perfectly utilized the several sandbars in Zhong Ming Lake, building various pavilions and towers on the sandbars and the lakeside, as well as several arch bridges. Added to this were various white marble railings, and weeping willows were planted by the lake. In the middle of the lake, a huge white marble sculpture had been erected, depicting the famous beauties of the Three Kingdoms period, the Qiao sisters.

Small bridges and flowing water, winding paths leading to secluded spots, lake light and mountain colors, pavilions and towers, beauties lowering their heads to admire their own reflections, and tourists boating on the lake—all of this composed a perfect scene, making the current Zhong Ming Lake Park look very beautiful.

Su Xinghui had seen the design drawings for Zhong Ming Lake Park, but he hadn't expected that when the design drawings on paper were put into practice, they could be so beautiful, simply making people reluctant to leave.

Su Xinghui said, "The current Zhong Ming Lake is simply too beautiful."

Lu Xiaoya nodded and said, "Yes, I come for a stroll every weekend now."

Su Xinghui said apologetically, "It's a pity I can't accompany you here for a stroll often."

Lu Xiaoya said, "It's okay, you're busy. I can come for a stroll with colleagues and friends. Sometimes I also accompany Uncle Su and Auntie Guo to sit here. If I'm tired after the stroll, I can also go to our new house to rest."

Su Xinghui looked at his own small building and said, "This house should have increased in value by now."

Lu Xiaoya said, "Yes, last time someone offered over a hundred thousand to buy a house next to ours. He also planned to tear it down and rebuild it, and he even referred to the floor plan of our house."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "If I had known this earlier, I should have bought another house last time. Wouldn't I have earned over a hundred thousand by selling it now?"

Lu Xiaoya said, "I'm already very content with things as they are now. Why do we need to earn so much money? Money is enough as long as it's sufficient."

Su Xinghui looked deeply at Lu Xiaoya. He felt that he was truly too lucky to have found a fiancée like Lu Xiaoya. In another ten or twenty years, such girls would truly be rare animals. How many girls at that time would say such things? Most of them would only force their husbands to earn more money.

Lu Xiaoya felt embarrassed by Su Xinghui's gaze. She lowered her head and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Su Xinghui said, "Xiaoya, I feel that I am truly too lucky. I am the luckiest person in the world. Having you, I have no more regrets in this life."

Lu Xiaoya smiled and said, "Where are we in this life? A lifetime is still long. You say this as if you are already very old."

Su Xinghui smiled. If he counted his previous life, hadn't he already lived for more than forty years? In his feeling, this was already a very long life experience. He had been so unhappy in marriage in his previous life, and being able to have such a good girl like Lu Xiaoya in this life, he truly felt too lucky.

Su Xinghui held Lu Xiaoya's hand and wandered in the park. After finishing the stroll in the park, they crossed a nine-turn bridge and arrived at the foot of Xiaonan Mountain on the other side of the lake. Now that there was such a nine-turn bridge, it was much more convenient to go to Xiaonan Mountain, without having to take such a long detour. Therefore, there were even more tourists on Xiaonan Mountain.

The two had lunch at a farmhouse restaurant at the foot of Xiaonan Mountain and rested for a while. Because there were more and more tourists coming to Zhong Ming Lake Park and Xiaonan Mountain, many farmhouses here had opened farmhouse restaurants, providing tourists with meals and a short rest.

The prices of these farmhouse restaurants were not too expensive, and the dishes stir-fried were authentic farmhouse dishes. They could earn some money and also provide convenience for tourists. Su Xinghui was quite satisfied with today's dishes. He and Lu Xiaoya ordered a crucian carp and tofu soup from the lake, a braised lake duck, and stir-fried lotus root tips. These dishes were all cooked on a firewood stove, and the taste was quite good.

After resting, the two went up to Xiaonan Mountain again and walked around the Baozhong Temple on Xiaonan Mountain. However, this time they did not draw lots again. After all, both of them were party members, and it wouldn't be good if they were seen drawing lots here. Besides, Lu Xiaoya was already more than satisfied with the top-tier lot they drew last time. She was afraid that if they drew a lot that wasn't satisfactory this time, it would ruin her mood instead.

So this time, the two just came here for a simple stroll.

Arriving at Baozhong Temple, Lu Xiaoya couldn't help but think of the time they came here to draw lots. She still remembered the lot text very clearly: "The harmony of Yin and Yang is determined by heaven; how can the marriage of a man and a woman be accidental? Just watch for the meeting of the dragon and the snake; the dream of the bear and the grizzly brings a happy reunion."

Thinking of these lines, Lu Xiaoya's mouth couldn't help but curve into a beautiful arc. She said to the Guanyin statue in her heart, "Guanyin Bodhisattva, please bless me and Xinghui so that we can grow old together and have a happy marriage for a hundred years."

Lu Xiaoya's face turned red all of a sudden, as if Guanyin had really heard her inner voice. At this moment, she had forgotten that she was a party member; she seemed to have become a devout believer.

As long as someone could bless her to be with Su Xinghui, what did it matter who she believed in?
