Chapter 440

Not long after, Gao Daping called Fang Youcai and Zhao Zhongfu. Xia Lan and Xia Zhu also followed behind. Seeing Su Xinghui, they were all very happy. Su Xinghui also introduced Lu Xiaoya to them.

Xia Zhu called out, "Brother Xinghui, Sister Xiaoya, you're here!"

With Xia Zhu's call, the village cadres remembered. Lu Xiaoya had been to Wild Boar Gully before. So she became a reporter. They all expressed a warm welcome to Lu Xiaoya.

Fang Youcai pointed to Tian Xiaotao, who was standing with his hands behind his back looking at the bulletin board outside, and said, "Isn't that comrade with you? Why doesn't he come in?"

Su Xinghui said, "He's not with us. Fang Zhishu, don't pay attention to him."

Fang Youcai nodded and stopped paying attention to Tian Xiaotao. He said to Lu Xiaoya with great interest, "Reporter Lu, what do you want to report on? Now our Wild Boar Gully Village is different from when you came before. It's developing very well."

Lu Xiaoya smiled and said, "Fang Zhishu, I can see it. It seems that many new houses have been built in the village."

Fang Youcai said, "Yeah, a new reading room has been built next to our village committee, the bamboo weaving factory has built a new factory building, the pharmaceutical factory's factory building is almost finished, and several families have renovated their own houses. The village has also repaired several cement roads."

Lu Xiaoya said in surprise, "That's really developing too fast!"

Fang Youcai said, "Isn't it? This is all Township Head Su's contribution. If it weren't for him, our Wild Boar Gully Village wouldn't have today. Reporter Lu, you must write more about Township Head Su in your report!"

Su Xinghui quickly waved his hand and said, "Fang Zhishu, don't just praise me. How can I have such great ability alone? Don't you village cadres, the common people in the village, and those experts play a big role? Xiaoya, you must write well about them."

Lu Xiaoya said, "I will. Then Fang Zhishu, can you take me to the village to have a look?"

Fang Youcai nodded and said, "What's the problem with that? Let's go!"

Fang Youcai and several other village cadres took Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya around the village. Xia Zhu also followed by Lu Xiaoya's side, holding hands with her affectionately.

When they came out of the village committee, Tian Xiaotao turned his head and took a look. This look made him see Xia Zhu. Xia Zhu's purity and beauty couldn't help but make his eyes light up. A trace of desire flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up well and followed behind the group unhurriedly.

The first thing they looked at was the new reading room. The new reading room was built next to the village committee. It was a large house with an area of over a hundred square meters. A circle of bamboo bookshelves was placed inside, filled with books. Now it was summer vacation, and there were quite a few children reading in the reading room.

Lu Xiaoya said in surprise, "Your reading room is so big, and there are so many books? How many books are there now?"

Fang Youcai said, "There are already over seven thousand books."

Lu Xiaoya randomly pulled out a few books to flip through and asked, "Where did these books come from?"

Fang Youcai said, "Some have to thank Township Head Su. He got them from the Xinhua Bookstore in the county town. Some we bought ourselves, and some were given by others. For example, several professors and students from Jiangcheng Agricultural University gave us many books on agricultural technology, which are of great use to us."

Lu Xiaoya said, "You also have many world classics here, not just books on agricultural technology."

Su Xinghui said, "Farmers in the new era must also be influenced by world classics and become a new generation of educated farmers!"

Lu Xiaoya wrote this sentence in her notebook and said, "This sentence is well said. I want to write it in my report and note that it was said by you, Township Head Su."

Lu Xiaoya's words made everyone laugh.

Lu Xiaoya also randomly interviewed the children reading in the reading room. She asked the children which books they liked to read most. The children's answers were different, but these world classics, novels, and popular science books were the types of books they liked most. As for agricultural technology books, those were not what they were reading now.

Xia Zhu's younger brother and sister were also reading in the reading room. Her younger brother's name was Xia Song, and he would be in the third year of high school after the summer vacation. Her younger sister's name was Xia Mei, and she would be in the first year of high school after the summer vacation.

Xia Song was tall and thin, worthy of being called a handsome young man, while Xia Mei looked somewhat similar to Xia Zhu, just shorter than Xia Zhu. In a few years, she would definitely be a great beauty like Xia Zhu.

They usually lived at school, but now it was summer vacation, and they had all returned home. They knew Su Xinghui and knew that Su Xinghui was their family's great benefactor. Seeing Su Xinghui, they all called out "Brother Su" very affectionately, and Su Xinghui naturally greeted them too.

Lu Xiaoya interviewed in the reading room for a while, wrote down a lot of things in her notebook, and then went out to other places to report.

She reported on the special breeding farm, the nursery base, the pharmaceutical factory construction site, and the bamboo weaving factory workers. The village was full of prosperity everywhere, which made her very excited. She even ignored Tian Xiaotao, who was lingering behind her.

When she finished reporting and returned to the village committee, she saw two more cars parked at the village committee gate. One was a Crown, and one was a BMW, parked next to the Mercedes-Benz. Next to these two cars, four or five people were standing, all young people in their twenties.

Seeing Tian Xiaotao following behind Lu Xiaoya's group, they all shouted excitedly, "Brother Tao, we're here!"

Tian Xiaotao stepped forward and said to the leading young man, "Little Ma, you guys are quite capable. I just said a place name, and you found it."

Little Ma said, "Hi, Brother Tao, why did you come to such a remote place? We looked for a long time and asked several people before we found it."

Another young man said, "Brother Tao, which one is our new sister-in-law? That female reporter?"

Tian Xiaotao looked at Lu Xiaoya, and several young people started to tease, "So this is our new sister-in-law. Brother Tao has a good eye, the new sister-in-law is beautiful!"

"No wonder Brother Tao chased all the way here, the sister-in-law is too beautiful!"

Lu Xiaoya was so angry that her chest heaved, "Who is your sister-in-law? Tian Xiaotao, are you bored? If you do this again, I won't be polite to you!"

Several young people started to tease again, "How will you not be polite?"

"Is it that you won't let Brother Tao go to bed at night?"
