Jiang Feng brought bun back home happily.
But what he didn't know was that in the bamboo forest on the way into Longmen Village, there was a small animal calling towards the direction of Longmen Village.
Unfortunately, the surroundings were silent, and no one heard its calls.
After calling for a while without any response, the small animal in the bamboo forest seemed anxious and paced around in circles.
It was as if there was something attractive in the village.
But this little guy didn't dare to take half a step out of the bamboo forest.
As soon as its paws stepped out of the bamboo forest, it immediately withdrew back in, seemingly very afraid of the outside world.
Jiang Aiguo listened expressionlessly.
The small creature unwillingly stood there and called out twice more towards Longmen Village.
Then it turned around disappointedly and went deep into the bamboo forest.
............
At this time, Jiang Feng also brought bun to his uncle's house.
Since it was almost time for lunch.
He brought bun to mooch some food again.
Tomorrow he would go into town to buy some supplies so he wouldn't have to beg for food.
When Jiang Feng's aunt saw him arrive, she warmly welcomed Jiang Feng to quickly sit down. She hurriedly brought out all the prepared dishes.
"How many days are you planning to stay home?"
At the meal, uncle asked without even raising his head.
Jiang Feng quickly replied, "I won't leave this time, I want to stay home."
"You're not leaving?"
Holding his chopsticks, uncle stopped in surprise and glanced at Jiang Feng.
He knew Jiang Feng had a very stubborn personality, otherwise he wouldn't have left the village with his younger sister to make a living outside.
However, times have changed.
If it was before, he wouldn't have said anything about Jiang Feng staying in the village.
But it was different now. There was no chance for turning one's life around for those who stay in the village for their whole life.
There was no future prospects lounging around in this mountain valley.
So Jiang Aiguo still hoped that Jiang Feng would go out more.
"Young people should still venture out more, it's no good to always stay at home."
"Tomorrow I'll have other people find a job for you, you should go to work," uncle said as he ate.
He thought Jiang Feng was unemployed, which was why he came back.
So he wanted to find Jiang Feng a job close to home first for him to work at for a period before figuring things out.
However, upon hearing uncle's words, Jiang Feng hurriedly waved his hands in refusal.
"No need, uncle, I want to start a business at home."
Jiang Feng didn't want to go out working anymore, he wanted to start a business at home, and best if he could help the whole village get out of poverty.
If no one pays attention to this little mountain village anymore, then in no more than a few years, when all the elders in the village passed away,
and the young people have all gone into the cities, Longmen Village would cease to exist.
This was something no villagers wished to see.
Therefore, Jiang Feng wanted to try his best with the help of the system!
(System: Hey, stop name dropping me when bragging!)
Bun raised his little paws once more to show his support in following Jiang Feng through thick and thin.
Jiang Aiguo's expression turned very ugly upon hearing this.
His originally dark complexion became even darker.
"Stop fooling around! Do you not understand the situation of our village?"
"With just you, what can you accomplish in this little mountain village."
Uncle said angrily.
As the village chief of Longmen Village, he naturally hoped that every household in Longmen Village could live well.
But Longmen Village's conditions were too poor. Although the roads were repaired, going up and down the mountain was still difficult.
And the village had very little flat land, also not suitable for developing agriculture.
Previously, the village could make a living by hunting, but now all that was prohibited.
So the original Longmen Village that depended on the mountain for living suddenly lost its most important source of livelihood.
In addition, most of the working population in the village had gone out to work over the recent years.
The ones remaining were just elders.
Therefore, it was not easy at all for Longmen Village to overcome poverty just by words.
Hearing uncle's words, Jiang Feng was very stubborn in saying, "Uncle, trust me, I will definitely succeed."
Jiang Feng was very confident in himself.
Because he had help from the system!
(System: Hey, don't drag me into your boasting!)
Bun raised his paws again to say he would be with Jiang Feng through everything.
Seeing Jiang Feng's determination, Jiang Aiguo silently gazed at him for a long while.
"Do whatever you want to do."
Jiang Aiguo brought his rice bowl out and ate squatting at the door.
"Your uncle is just like that, he's useless himself yet stops others from doing things."
"Little Feng, listen to auntie, go ahead and do what you want, I'll help when the time comes."
Aunt came out from the kitchen and gave Jiang Feng more food.
Jiang Feng thanked her repeatedly.
"Auntie, do you know what areas our village could develop in?"
Jiang Feng asked while eating his meal.
To tell the truth, if not for uncle's words earlier, he still did not really know what he should do to able to develop in Longmen Village.
Could it be tourism?
Although beautiful, not many people knew about this place.
Furthermore, developing the tourism industry would require investment from others.
"I don't know about that, I'm just a rural housewife who doesn't understand these things."
"But I heard that vegetables in cities are very expensive now."
Aunt said.
"Grow vegetables! With what little land our village has, what else are we to live on!"
Jiang Aiguo suddenly shouted angrily from the doorway.
Aunt pursed her lips and didn't speak further.
However, Jiang Feng's eyes lit up at that moment.
He knew that current vegetable prices were indeed very expensive, even more than meat prices.
So focusing on vegetable cultivation was indeed a good choice.
Also, didn't the system reward him a bag of spiritual seedlings before?
Things grown from these seedlings must be pretty good.
Thinking this, Jiang Feng was excited internally to immediately hurry and plant these spiritual seedlings.
Therefore, after wolfing down the rest of his meal, Jiang Feng picked up bun to leave.
"Auntie, I'll go first and find you a few days later when I need help."
Bun, who had not eaten his fill, suddenly got picked up by Jiang Feng and called out unhappily.
"What's the hurry with this child,"
aunt shook her head as she cleared up the bowls and chopsticks.
Right then, Jiang Aiguo walked in with a black face, still holding his bowl.
"I haven't finished eating, why are you clearing up?"
But aunt didn't even glance once at uncle.
"Little Feng is done eating!"
