Once you become a boy, marry a good man, and become rich together

Chapter 266: Famous for the Cement Road

In the evening, the sun sets and the temperature in the air slowly drops.

Lin Xi lay on the railing beside the pond, holding fish food in his hand and throwing it down little by little to feed the goldfish. Ye Shuyun and Jiang Ci sat in the pavilion not far away drinking tea.

Ye Shuyun looked at Jiang Ci, "You and Jingsheng haven't held a wedding banquet yet, are you still planning to do it?"

Jiang Ci put down the teacup, "Let's do it! We haven't worshipped the heaven and earth yet."

It would be a great pity if this were not done.

"So when are you going to do it? It's been such a long time."

"It's time to put it on the agenda. The Jingchen Academy exam is coming up soon. I believe he will definitely make the list. The exam and the announcement of the results will probably take less than a month. We will have to prepare a banquet by then. I'm thinking of holding the wedding banquet about a month after the banquet."

Lin Xi heard a few key words and stopped feeding the fish. She ran over to listen to their conversation.

Ye Shuyun calculated the time and said, "This time is good. It won't be too hot to wear the complicated wedding dress."

"I want to hold a bigger event so that I have enough time to prepare."

"Then I'll wait and see. Ci Ge'er will definitely be very beautiful that day. You won't find anyone as beautiful as Ci Ge'er in this town, no! In the entire prefecture, you won't find anyone as beautiful as her."

Jiang Ci pinched Lin Xi's face and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you say."

"That's right. Our brother Ci is the best looking."

A voice came from not far away, "Yun'er, it's time to go home."

"Okay." He turned around and saw Lin Changfeng walking towards him.

Ye Shuyun said to the two of them, "Then we will leave first."

"Okay, walk slowly on the road. Do you want to carry a lantern?" Jiang Ci was still a little worried.

"No, it's not completely dark yet, the moon is still bright in the sky, you can see it."

Lin Xi rested his elbows on the table and waved at Ye Shuyun, "I'll play here for a while."

All the places in the mansion where lanterns should be lit were lit.

"Are these lanterns lit all night?"

"No, the candles in here are shorter and can only last for about two hours."

"Two hours is enough. It's time for everyone to go to bed."

“That’s what I thought at the time.”

Lin Xi lazily leaned on the seats and railings beside the corridor, looking at the lights in the distance.

Then he turned his head and looked at Jiang Ci and said, "This place is so beautiful. If your house hadn't been built like this, I would never have seen such a scene in my life."

"Don't say that. Let's go to other places together and see the mountains and rivers in different places."

Lin Xi and Ye Bei were walking hand in hand on the way home. The bright moonlight in the sky cast their hand-in-hand shadows on the smooth concrete ground.

"It's comfortable to walk on this road. You don't have to look at your feet at night, and you don't have to worry about tripping."

"Driving on this road takes half the time of taking other roads."

"That's right. You don't have to worry about the bumps if you go too fast."

The two of them are staying in Linjia Village today, and Ye Bei has to go to the county early tomorrow morning.

The first two main roads built are now open to traffic, attracting many people from nearby villages to come and see this cement road they have never seen before.

The people of Linjiacun looked at them with envious eyes and felt extremely proud.

"There are only roads like this in their village, and there are more than one, but all over the village."

At the thought of this, everyone straightened their backs.

The village chief ordered the people driving donkey and ox carts on this road, "Only these two roads can be used for vehicles. Don't go on other roads. Don't let the roads over there that have not been well maintained damage you. The consequences are not something you can afford."

I have said this several times, for fear that they may not hear me.

There are nearly ten more donkey carts in their village in the past year, so there are quite a few donkey carts coming to try out the cement road now.

"Don't worry, village chief. We know what we are talking about."

The children who were originally on the bus got off, and then more than a dozen children got on.

He pulled the reins and took a few children to feel the feeling of the car running on the concrete road.

A little kid opened his mouth to face the wind and made "ahhhh" sounds. After playing for a while, he became very excited and said, "The wind is so strong and it's so cool."

"The car was going so fast! It wasn't bumpy at all."

This lively scene has been going on for the third day and there is no sign of it abating.

This was the scene that Ye Wan, Lin Shan and others saw when they came back.

Lin Jingxuan stuck her head out of the window next to her and asked, "Why is it so lively out front?"

Lin Jingxuan focused her attention on the lively sounds over there, while others noticed the feeling of the carriage running on the cement road.

Ye Wan said in amazement, "There is no bump at all, really no bump at all!"

This is when they truly experienced what a road paved with cement looks like, and they felt they truly understood the importance of cement.

Before they left, they made cement floors in the yard and rooms as well.

The door to my house was not locked. When I opened it, I saw an extremely flat concrete floor. The entire yard was paved with concrete.

They now only raise some chickens and ducks at home, which they keep for laying eggs for their own consumption. Before the road was built, they put the chickens and ducks in cages and carried them to their home in the east.

Now when you hear the sounds of chickens and ducks in the back, you know that Jiang Ci has asked you to put the chickens and ducks back there.

Opening the bedroom door, we saw that the cement floor had been repaired and the furniture had been put in.

The cement road attracted a lot of curious people to come and see, not only people from the nearby villages but also people from the town came to see it. Now their village is famous in the whole town.

Visitors also asked how the road was built and how much cement was sold. However, Jiangci does not sell cement.

If they were to sell it, they would sell it to people in their village who want to build houses on the land. People in their village are lining up to buy it, so it is not the turn of outsiders now.

In addition to these roads, there are two large threshing grounds in the village that have also been paved with cement. When the corn harvest comes this season, we will know how useful threshing grounds made of cement are.

Yang Chenyue still looked at the cement road with curiosity, and said to Jiang Ci, "Let's try it again in the carriage. I want to try it again."

Jiang Ci could only agree to him helplessly, "Okay!"

Yang Chenyue couldn't wait to pull Jiang Ci towards the carriage, "Let's go!"

Feeling this smooth road, "You spent a lot of money to build so many cement roads. It's really a big loss. How much of your annual earnings did you have to invest?"

Yang Chenyue really admires Jiang Ci.

"The cement road is not as valuable as the stone slabs, and it didn't cost too much money."

"It would be great if all roads could be built like this. It would be so hard to travel far away."

"Not only that, the time it takes to travel between the two places has also been greatly shortened."

"Yes! The carriages go so fast on such roads!"
