Chapter 1805 Arrival Home
We agreed to go home for lunch, so the plane took off very early, before 8 o'clock in the morning. It doesn't take long to fly from Yanjing to the main city.
The reason for taking off so early is that after getting off the plane in Zhucheng, we have to take a car back to the village, and that journey will take some time.
But fortunately, because of the continuous development of Chinese medicine planting and rural tourism in recent years, the roads in the towns and villages around Zhucheng and Jiaocheng next to it are well built.
Unlike before, when I went home, I had to take a detour to the other side to take the good road connecting to Yangjia Village.
After a bumpy ride, the vehicle finally arrived at the entrance of the village at about 11:30 in the afternoon.
"Did you book a homestay or a hotel?" Yang Dongxu asked.
It was too sudden that Zhang Jing and Du Weiwei came to his hometown to celebrate the New Year, so he didn't ask in detail.
"The homestay is an independent small courtyard." Zhang Jing said, "It's the sixth one at the entrance of the village."
Because of the good economic development of Yangjia Village, or because of the big tree of Yang Dongxu, the village has expanded more than five times in the past two years.
On the west side of the village, some gullies and old beaches on both sides of the mainland have been padded up and turned into shops and homestays.
The income of shops and homestays belongs to the village collective, and they will not be sold to the outside world but only rented out. The same is true for shops on the street. Although the transfer of rural homesteads is not so strict these days, Yang Dongxu, who has a sense of advance, has reminded us.
Therefore, this aspect is not only in Yangjia Village, but also in Jiaocheng, and even in Zhucheng. This aspect is relatively tight and does not leave any loopholes for anyone to drill.
After all, it is not easy to come up with a rural characteristic economic development route. Directly selling land and houses for a one-time deal can still be distinguished from just renting and not selling for a long time.
And now because it is the day for the whole family to reunite during the Spring Festival, there is basically no one renting out some empty rooms in the homestays in the houses where they live in the village.
After all, the family is happily reunited during the Spring Festival, and it is always so uncomfortable to have an outsider.
Therefore, the homestays that can be rented during the Spring Festival are all independent courtyards, or you can just live in the hotel at the entrance of the village.
Zhang Jing knew the situation here very well, so she asked for a small courtyard directly.
Yangjia Village is not suitable for tourism in winter. Although there are tourists from big cities who come here to experience the atmosphere of the rural New Year, they are a minority.
After all, as a place in northern Anhui, there is nothing to see in the winter. At the same time, everyone wants to reunite with their family during the Spring Festival these days.
Du Weiwei and Zhang Jing are only a few who travel during the Spring Festival. Unlike some years ago, traveling during the Spring Festival has become a popular tourist project.
Helped the two people to send their luggage into the small courtyard. It would be difficult for two women to carry so much luggage.
"Just put it in the living room and don't move it. Go home to eat first. After dinner, you can come back to clean it up. If you need anything, there is a market next to it, which is very convenient for you to buy it yourself."
The independent courtyards of the B&B are all ancient courtyards, with two floors of green bricks and green tiles. The first floor is the living room, with a range hood, a modern kitchen, etc. The second floor is the bedroom, and there is a parking garage next to it. Various living facilities are very complete.
The yard Zhang Jing wanted was relatively small, but it was not a big problem for a family of five or six to live in.
There were several relatively large courtyards at the head of the village, suitable for tourist groups of more than 15 people.
"It's really cold here." Du Weiwei couldn't help but wrap her coat after closing the door.
"This is in northern Anhui, so the climate is naturally closer to the north. But this cold is far less than Yanjing. After all, the coldest temperature here is only minus 7 or 8 degrees Celsius, and the cold winter that rarely comes in decades is only about minus 10 degrees Celsius.
By the way, come back early after dinner and turn on the heating in the house. All homestays only have electric heaters, and it takes a lot of time to heat up the whole house."
"Electric heater? Don't you have heating here like in northern cities? Or why don't you have a fireplace, or burn a kang like in the north?" Du Weiwei couldn't help but ask.
"This is just northern Anhui, not the real north. If you want to use heating like in northern cities, the government will not approve projects that do not meet the heating standards.
Besides, even if there is heating, it is urban heating, and the heating pipes cannot reach the countryside. As for heating the kang, several nearby cities are now promoting green ecological tourism.
In addition, many fields are planted with Chinese medicine, and polluting enterprises have basically been closed in recent years. Naturally, large-scale coal burning will not be allowed. As for burning firewood, it doesn't matter if you make fire and cook normally.
It can be regarded as retaining some of the rural cooking smoke scenery, but the group heating of the kang has been stopped. After all, whether you turn on the electric heater or the air conditioner when you sleep at night, the temperature is good, unlike the north where you can't sleep without heating the kang."
A person walked and stopped, mainly because Yang Dongxu wanted to stop and say hello to people he knew, and when he returned home, the dishes were served and ready to eat.
"Come on, come on, come on, sit inside. It happens that there are many people today, so we have to squeeze in." Yang's mother smiled and greeted Zhang Jing and Du Weiwei to sit down.
"Don't bother so much, auntie, we won't be polite." Zhang Jing said with a smile.
Compared to Du Weiwei, she is more familiar with Yang Ma. Yang Ma goes to Chengshi several times a year to see her grandson. As Yang Dongxu's personal assistant, she was actually invited to eat at home during the winter and summer vacations. Naturally, they are more familiar with each other.
It was indeed a coincidence that she came today. Her sister Dandan came to give her a New Year gift, and her brother-in-law Xiaocheng and the children were all here.
"Is the farmhouse not busy at the end of the year?" Yang Dongxu leaned over and picked up his sister Dandan's son Lan Yi.
This little guy is about the same age as Wenwu. He is over four years old this year and is also in kindergarten.
Being held by his uncle Yang Dongxu, the chubby little guy stared at his uncle with two eyes, a little strange, but also a little familiar.
However, this little guy is not afraid of people. He stared at his uncle without hiding.
"There are fewer tourists at the end of the year, and most of the time we are free. The business at the end of the year is basically at night. Folks from nearby villages go to party and drink, and few people go to eat at noon." Xiaocheng said with a smile.
The popular folk tourism has brought income not only to ordinary farmers. Those who open restaurants like Xiaocheng, or do business on the street, have increased their income.
Especially since Xiaocheng guards a large reservoir, you have to call in advance to book a table during the peak tourist season during holidays, otherwise there will be no seats at mealtime.
Wash your hands, sit down, and eat!
Several elderly people took their seats, and the custom-made extra-large table was full.
"Come on, come on, eat more food, don't be polite, it's like being at home here." Yang Ma yelled at Zhang Jing and Du Weiwei to be polite.
She was afraid that the two of them would not be able to relax and eat enough for their first meal here.
As for Zhuo Qing'er, there was no need to be polite. This guy was now fighting with Wen Chen for a chicken leg. He didn't have the temperament of an internationally renowned luxury brand designer or big boss outside, and he looked like a child who never grew up.
