Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

Throughout the journey, Chen An'an gazed at the expansive white clouds outside, which one moment resembled Sun Wukong's Somersault Cloud,

and the next seemed as unrivaled as the Bull Demon King.

In just two hours, they had flown from Magic City to the skies above Sha City.

By the time the plane was ready to land, the entire city was already brightly lit.

Sha City was also covered in a layer of thick white snow.

While the transportation wasn't very convenient, the night view under the blanket of white snow was uniquely beautiful.

Under the flickering neon lights, the streets seemed to emit a romance that belonged solely to them.

The plane glided smoothly down the runway and landed without incident at seven in the evening.

After the family disembarked from the plane, a Coaster shuttle bus picked them up from the terminal and took them straight to the parking lot.

The black behemoth that Chen Pingsheng had spent over eight million on was parked there, flanked by four luxury cars in a row.

Wang Village was not too far from Sha City, so they chose to drive home themselves.

The good thing about having money is exactly this, there are always people offering the most thoughtful service everywhere.

From the time they boarded the plane to the moment they disembarked, it was always so.

Even because the roads were not easy to navigate, a snowplow had been arranged to clear the way in advance.

This was the journey home for Chen Pingsheng now.

Even Hu Lin, his cousin who always knew he was filthy rich, could not help but be amazed by the sight upon returning with him.

The only thing missing from this grand arrival was a police escort.

And this was them being deliberately low-key; they hadn't even informed the town officials about his return.

They certainly didn't report to the county authorities, or else even the vice-mayor would have been waiting here.

Or he would have been greeted by secretaries sent from the city's Zhengfu or even the provincial Zhengfu upon arrival.

It's important to note that Chen Pingsheng's largest public welfare project for supporting agriculture, Tengnong Breeding, is headquartered in Sha City.

To date, he has invested a total of three billion, benefiting over a hundred thousand households.

For such a major entrepreneur to return to his village, it wouldn't be surprising for the county or city to offer the highest level of reception.

After all, Chen Pingsheng himself has said that within three years, he would invest up to ten billion more in Tengnong Fresh Produce.

By then, he could directly change the local land and water, driving rapid income growth for millions of people.

It would also raise the consumption levels locally, which is perfectly normal, since the premise of consumption is high income.

Wang Village was no longer the neglected place it once was.

It now had the best elementary school and health clinic in the whole county, and even its own small park.

Besides, it also had its own Tenghui Department Store Plaza.

In just three years, it had achieved qualitative improvements in education, medical care, and consumer environment.

No longer were there any muddy paths in the village; they had all been converted into spacious and comfortable highways.

Even the main roads were equipped with ground lights and neon lights, infrastructure that used to exist solely in cities.

If you ask why it has developed so rapidly, it's better not to ask.

The answer is that this place has produced a major entrepreneur.

And he is none other than the son of the village chief. While others become village chiefs to make money,

Mr. Chen has been using his position as village chief to take money from his son instead.

If it wasn't for Chen Pingsheng's funding, whoever approved the funds for things like streetlights would be cursed to death by people from other villages.

Wang Village has become the envy of neighboring villages mainly because Chen Pingsheng used his own efforts to genuinely transform the living environment here.

He has spared no effort in contributing to the construction of his hometown.

As for the Chen Family folks, their villas are now linked together, situated in a decent location at the center of the village. In front of them is a large man-made lake developed by themselves, featuring a variety of garden villas.

Members of the Chen Family typically have a garden villa each inside this area.

This was also something that Chen Pingsheng funded and built in a unified manner.

The line of luxury cars returning home spoke of the spectacle: no one else would have it any other way.

The Chen Family had people clear the snow on the roads early in the morning to ensure a smooth arrival for the convoy.

Their cars were not parked in front of the gate but in a large parking lot they built.

If there is anything rural areas have plenty of, it's land.

In a few more years, it's possible that building a house in the village might even require official approval.

Much of this is due to wanting to push rural folks to buy houses in the city,

Investing in real estate like this indeed seems to be a tireless endeavor.

Chen Pingsheng never comments much on such matters, as it wouldn't make sense.

He also brought plenty of gifts for his family, such as Maotai Liquor and Guojiao 1573, which his grandparents loved to drink.

Life in the rural family home was still rather tranquil, but with the establishment of Tenghuo Department Store Plaza,

more and more young people are beginning to enjoy returning to the village, primarily because, like in the city, Tenghuo Department Store Plaza offers plenty of entertainment facilities.

Such as a cinema, pubs, billiard halls, arcades, teahouses, restaurants, and a shopping center for clothes, basically everything one might need.

Opening such a super shopping plaza in the countryside was bound to lose money,

but it would definitely and tangibly elevate the consumption environment within a ten-kilometer radius.

Besides earning money, without a good consumption environment, you cannot retain young people.

Chen Pingsheng is doing his utmost, building the most ideal new countryside of his vision.

By eight o'clock in the evening, many families had already turned off their lights and gone to bed.

Only when their sons and daughters who work out of town return do they stay up later to chat.

Today was different for the Chen Family; they had also built five fire-heating rooms in their villa complex.

Every New Year, the family gathers around a large basin of burning charcoal—this is what truly brings the feeling and atmosphere of returning home.

The grandparents gather there to chat, warming their hands by the fire while a few sunflower seeds and peanuts are at hand.
