Chapter 427: A separate page for Qiao Qiao's family tree!

The entrance to Qiaojia Village is surrounded by several small hills, with no houses in sight.

However, residents living in the village can see the road leading into the village from the road in front of their doors.

Moreover, it's already the end of March, and the first batch of rice seedlings is ready for planting. Many families are busy preparing the rice paddies.

As soon as the car carrying Qiao Qiao and the others drove in, everyone busy in the fields stopped what they were doing and looked over.

"Changhong, Changcai, that looks like your Dongzi." As Qiao Changdong got out of the car to inspect the newly paved cement ground in the village, a man from the nearest field called out to two imposing men in the distance.

Qiao Changcai and Qiao Changhong, who were wearing straw hats, with their trousers rolled up, each holding a rake and enthusiastically turning over the field, suddenly stopped what they were doing and looked over in their direction.

Seeing that it was indeed Qiao Changdong who got off the bus, followed by Grandma Qiao, Yan Liti, Qiao Qiao, and others, they quickly dropped their farm tools and happily ran over along the ridge of the field.

"Mom! Dongzi! Qiaoqiao!"

When the two ran to the car, the other villagers who were working in the fields also came to greet them.

Everyone wore a smile of joy and gratitude.

They all started thanking them at once.

"Aunt Qiao, Dongzi, you are both so kind!"

"That's right, that's right. After this road was built, the county sent leaders to come and inspect the road in our village. They said it was very well built."

“There are very few people like you who have made money and become successful, yet still remember to benefit the people in the village.”

“I heard it was on TV a few days ago, but our village doesn’t have electricity or TV, so we didn’t see the news. But it was reported in the newspaper. My son was bragging about it to me when he came back from studying in town.”

"Oh right, did you see the monument erected for Qiaowa at the intersection when you came in?"

"The buckwheat baby is a lucky one..."

"..."

Amidst the enthusiastic praise from the villagers, Qiao Changdong and the others finally understood what was going on.

Not long after they left Qiaojia Village with Grandma Qiao after the New Year, a group of people came and built a road here in Qiao Qiao's name.

They not only repaired all the roads in the village, but also the road from the town to the village.

Such a long distance was repaired in just one month.

From the entrance to Qiaojia Village in the town to the entire village, all these roads add up to about six or seven kilometers. The villagers don't know how much it cost to build, but it was definitely not cheap.

That's so much money! Who would be willing to part with it if it were in someone else's home?

So after the road was repaired, the villagers who benefited from it spontaneously erected a monument in honor of Qiao Qiao.

Not only that, if Qiao Changhong hadn't stopped them, saying they would discuss it after everyone returned, the clan chief of Qiao Family Village was planning to give Qiao Qiao a separate page in the family genealogy!

Although it was still unclear who was repairing the road in Qiao Qiao's name, it wasn't appropriate to discuss it outside. Qiao Changdong could only give a vague answer, then got into the car and continued to give Wang Jun directions.

However, many villagers did not return to work in the fields. Instead, they followed the trucks in twos and threes, crowding the four vehicles together, and went to the Qiao family's house.

Today, the Qiao family is undoubtedly more lively than during the Spring Festival in previous years.

Upon learning that Grandma Qiao and Qiao Changdong had returned from Kyoto, they all rushed over from their respective homes.

The villagers came to the courtyard, and none of them came empty-handed.

Almost every family brought their own small basket.

Some of these small baskets contained nourishing items like brown sugar and red dates, while others held a dozen or twenty eggs laid by their own chickens and ducks, and some even contained an old hen.

Besides thanking Qiao Qiao for repairing the road, many villagers also came to visit Grandma Qiao.

The villagers of Qiaojia Village knew that Grandma Qiao went to Kyoto for medical treatment last year.

In the village, if someone in the family is sick, has undergone major surgery, or is hospitalized, other villagers will bring some of their own good things to visit and comfort them.

Grandma Qiao underwent major surgery this time, and she even went to a place like Kyoto for treatment. Those who had previously had connections with the Qiao family spontaneously came to return the favor.

In just half an hour, the high table in the main room of the Qiao family, and the area around it on the floor, were filled with gifts brought by villagers.

Of course, the Qiao family was also very polite, having bought several large bags of candy to take with them back in Kyoto.

Whenever villagers came to visit, the men would offer them cigarettes, while the women, children, and elderly would grab a handful of candy. Several fruit platters were placed on the chairs in the yard, containing not only melon seeds and peanuts, but also nuts that most people couldn't bear to eat or had never tried before.

The candies distributed weren't the kind you could buy in Hongfeng Town, like cinnamon oil candy, lard candy, or mint candy, but rather some imported high-end goods, such as crispy candy, chocolate beans, and fruit gummies.

Whether they were old or young, everyone who received the candy was overjoyed. Many children even ran out to call out to their friends who hadn't come.

Fang Zhengnan and Mo Wenpei were extremely busy, but fortunately, several aunties from the village who had a good relationship with the Qiao family helped them by serving them tea and water.

The villagers were even more surprised to learn that Grandma Qiao had actually found her long-lost brother during her trip to Kyoto.

However, judging from Old Master Wang and Yan Xiaoqing's attire, everyone only dared to observe them from afar and did not dare to strike up a conversation.

Because the Qiao family was hospitable, and because of the extraordinary event of Grandma Qiao finding her relatives, more and more people came to the Qiao family courtyard.

In the countryside, there's generally no reason to turn away guests.

But Qiao Changdong was no ordinary person.

Seeing that the courtyard was becoming increasingly noisy due to the growing number of people, he asked them to leave, citing that Grandma Qiao needed to rest.

The group was still a little reluctant to leave, but since Qiao Changdong had already asked them to go, they couldn't and wouldn't dare to insist that they stay, so they dispersed in twos and threes.

"Oh my goodness, I've missed you so much! Come on, give me a good sip!"

Once all the villagers had left the courtyard, Mo Wenpei finally had a free hand. She pulled Qiao Qiao into her arms and, as if she had some kind of addiction, kept kissing her little face and even nuzzling her neck to tickle her.

Qiao Qiao was ticklish, and this action made her laugh nonstop.

Fang Zhengnan reached out to help her tidy her messy hair, and then asked Grandma Qiao on the other side with concern, "Mom, why don't you go lie down for a while? Uncle and Aunt are here with us, we'll take good care of them."

"Yes, yes, go lie down for a while, don't worry about us." Grandpa Wang was facing away from everyone, looking at the rabbits kept in a pen in the yard. Hearing this, he waved to Grandma Qiao behind him and said.
