Chapter 707: They Needed To Live A Better Life

It was already the hottest summer now. High-temperature swept across the whole country; it was extremely scorching.

However, in some places of the southwest part, due to the relatively high altitude and the influence of warm and wet ocean currents, the temperature was a little lower. The highest temperature during sunny days was only about 30 degrees. It was warm in winter and cool in summer in this place, which was also the most favorite summer resort for tourists as well as the place for many middle-aged and old people to spend summer.

With the increase of tourists, the number of people coming to camp in Mang village and other remote villages for holidays became more and more gradually. In the past two months, there was a group of tourists visiting Mang village almost every day. Some of them, about a dozen people, came here in private cars with tents and basic necessities.

At the intersection of the roads leading to the village, He Xiyan set up a billboard which was made in Qingshui town. The picture on the billboard was designed by herself: green hills and clean waters, idyllic scenery, primitive small villages, natural and green farm vegetables and beautiful small fish ponds. The picture looked like a paradise, quite attractive.

There were also a few words on the billboard:

Mountain Mang Fishing Park, low price, high protein, fresh and of good quality. Cooking and barbecuing tools for free. It will bring you a different experience of the rural life.

At the bottom of the billboard was the route map to the fishing pond together with the telephone number.

Though not creative, the advertisement, which did not cost any money, did bring a lot of people to Mang village. There were three times more tourists this year than last.

There were many villages nearby, all of which were primitive ones like this. Mang village was not prominent, but with such a roadside ad board, there were many outsiders coming.

He Xiyan could receive phone calls almost every day.

The mobile phone was a cheap smartphone she bought in town more than a month ago. It cost only a few hundred yuan. She bought a phone SIM card with Chen Jiahang’s ID card. The countryside was very backward, where only a few people had mobile phones, less than ten. Many people still relied on public telephone at the village entrance to contact their relatives working in other provinces. Most importantly, there was no cell phone signals in this area before. Three months ago, she asked the head of the village and several villager representatives to apply to the town government together, stating bitterly the inconvenience and difficulties brought by communication obstacles to the people of Mang village. Only after that did the government turn to XX Communications Company, which then built a small signal tower in the village.

Today, another group of travelers came to spend their holidays and experience rural life. These were all young people in their twenties and thirties, who seemed to be teachers on their summer vacation.

They brought their daily necessities and tents and called the phone number on the billboard as soon as they arrived. Soon they found the location of the fish pond.

He Xiyan asked Chen Jiahang to prepare bait and fishing gear for fishing. She herself took the initiative to receive the teachers, telling them the best place to camp.

These teachers all came from the same school in the provincial capital. Growing up in big cities, they felt fresh everywhere in the countryside. He Xiyan first led several female teachers to the farm to pick some fresh fruits and vegetables, such as watermelon, sweet melon, cucumber, corn, eggplant, leek, chili and so on, all of which were grown by her and Jiahang, big and sweet.

He Xiyan sold them at the same price in the city, earning 60 yuan for two watermelons only. These fruits and vegetables they picked added up to about 180 yuan.

Several male teachers had rented their fishing poles to go fishing. The price of fish had also been raised two months ago by He Xiyan, who sold them at the same price in downtown market.
