Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 756: Family Coming to Beijing

The 45th chain of Taoyuan Village Green Fresh supermarket opened on the 1st Jan 2015.

In the social circle of the capital, those who received the news had already ordered flower baskets or other gifts. They wouldn’t miss out on this chance to build relationships.

After all, even though Xiao Lingyu was a country woman, she was also Gong Tianhao’s wife, the young madam of the Gong family. Thus, she had a lot of power. In short, it was only beneficial to curry favor with her.

A lot of planning had gone into the opening of this supermarket. Many people were hired, and they were given the proper training. Xiao Lingyu viewed this capital supermarket expansion seriously. Many of the processes were personally supervised by Xiao Lingyu. On opening day, no mistakes were allowed.

Zeng Yaozu, Xiao Xinxin, An Xiaohui, Xiao Lingyun, and other elites of the Green Fresh Group flew over.

Apart from fourth uncle Xiao, who was in charge of logistics and transportation, the others also came to celebrate.

As Xiao Lingyu’s family, they stayed with the Gong family as soon as they arrived in the capital.

The Gong family had a big house and many rooms. No matter how many people came to Xiao Lingyu’s family, they all had rooms to stay in. Naturally, there was no need to stay in a hotel.

The Gong family liked Xiao Lingyu very much. The Gong family naturally did not dare to neglect her family and treated them with great respect.

“Great-grandpa, Great-grandma, Grandma, Grandpa...” As soon as they got off the plane, Xiao Letong rushed over and greeted everyone happily and politely.

“My good grandson, Great-grandma really misses you to death.” Grandma Xiao was the first to hug Xiao Letong.

“Great-grandma, I miss you too. I miss you so much! And I miss Grandma, Grandpa, and everyone!”

“Our Tong Tong is really getting more and more sensible.” Eldest Aunt Xiao took Xiao Letong from Grandma Xiao’s arms and said happily, “We haven’t seen each other for a while, but he has grown taller.”

Xiao Letong said proudly, “Of course!.”

Mother Xiao hugged Xiao Ling and asked happily, “Hey. It seems like our Ling ‘Er has gained weight too.”

Father Xiao smiled and said, “I think not only did he gain weight, but he also seems to have grown taller?”

Xiao Ling smiled and said, “That’s right, Grandpa. I’ve grown taller. Mommy said that I’ve grown a centimeter taller.”

To be honest, he had grown into a teenager, but he followed Xiao Lingyu’s suggestion and decided to follow the normal human growth pattern. If not, it would appear too abnormal. If Xiao Ling grew up slowly, no one would suspect anything.

When Mother Xiao and Father Xiao heard that Xiao Ling had grown a centimeter taller, they were slightly surprised. Then, they said happily, “Oh, is that so? That’s great!” They knew that Xiao Ling’s growth was related to the health of the farming space.

After that, Old Master Gong came up to greet them.

“Sister, brother Xiao, welcome. The travel must be tiring!”

Grandma Xiao and Grandpa Xiao smiled and said, “In-law, it’s not tiring at all!” The other juniors of the Xiao family greeted old master Gong one by one.

Old Master Gong smiled and said, “Let’s not stand here and take in the cold wind. Please come in.”

When the Xiao family followed Old Master Gong to the front door of the Gong family and saw the big, beautiful, and luxurious house, they were extremely surprised.

They knew that the Gong family was rich, but they couldn’t imagine how rich the Gong family was. This was their first time seeing such a big and beautiful house.

The Gong family’s house had a large courtyard with a classical and elegant style. It had five smaller houses. The main door was a large red metal door. It looked grand and dignified, giving off an imposing aura.

When they pushed open the main door, what entered their eyes were rockery and flowing water, pavilions, carved beams, and painted buildings. It was like the mansions of the princes that they had seen on television. It was extremely beautiful.

Grandma Xiao looked around and said generously, “In-law, your house is really beautiful. It is like the imperial palace. I had never seen such a beautiful house when I was in the countryside!”

If it weren’t for Xiao Lingyu, the Xiao Family would never have had the chance to live in such a house. This was such a big difference in status.

The Gong family was rich and powerful and belonged to a noble family. They had the best of everything.

Anyone who came from the countryside would definitely be a little timid when they arrived here. They might even be in a state of inferiority.

However, the members of the Xiao family were very good-natured. They had never tried to curry favor with old master Gong or Gong Tianhao, nor did they show any inferiority or decline due to the difference in status.

Their interactions with old master Gong and Gong Tianhao had always been friendly. They were a family through and through.

Therefore, even though this was the first time the Xiao family had come to the Gong family’s house, they did not show any signs of inferiority.

Old Master Gong smiled, “Sister Xiao, you have a good eye. This house was actually the home of a former lord.”

Grandma Xiao and her husband’s eyes immediately lit up as they asked with great interest and curiosity, “In-law, what lord would that be?” The juniors following behind also looked at Old Master Gong with curiosity.

Old Master Gong cleared his throat and said, “It’s Lord Gong Qin’s residence at the end of the Qing Dynasty.”

“Oh! I’ve heard of that lord!” Xiao Lingyun said in surprise, “I’ve read about it in the history books. The lord’s residence was the largest at that time.”

“Yun ‘Er, you’re really knowledgeable!” Old Master Gong praised, “This is not only the largest residence of that era, but it is also the most well-preserved.”

Xiao Lingyun’s eyes immediately lit up, and she said excitedly, “Then Grandpa Gong, can we take a look around?”

Old Master Gong smiled. “Of course. You can ask Yu ‘Er and Hao ‘Er to bring you on tour.”

Eldest Aunt Xiao immediately rejected tactfully, “Grandpa Gong, we’ll just take a look around by ourselves. Yu ‘Er and Tianhao must be busy.”

The capital store was about to open. Whether it was Xiao Lingyu or Gong Tianhao, they definitely had a lot of things to do. The Xiao Family was here to help, not to cause trouble.

Mother Xiao agreed. She turned to Xiao Lingyu and Gong TIanhao, “Yu ‘Er and Tianhao, you must be very busy now. You can go and do your things.”

Old Master Gong immediately added, “Yu ‘Er, Hao ‘Er, your mother and aunt are right. Especially Yu ‘Er. Your shop is about to open, so you must have a lot of things to do. Go and do your work. I’ll bring the in-laws around.”

Xiao Lingyu looked at old master Gong and said hesitantly, “But grandfather, you...” No matter how healthy Old Master Gong was, he was already old. The residence was too large for him to give the Xiao Family a tour.

Old Master Gong waved his hand and said, “It’s fine. I am very healthy. A walk around the house will give me the chance to exercise too. Plus, if I get tired, there will be others who can take over for me, right?”

However, Old Master Gong felt that he needed to personally entertain his in-laws since this was their first time in the capital.

Xiao Lingyu thought about it and said, “Alright then, I’ll have to trouble you, grandfather. However, if you’re really tired, you need to rest. My family won’t mind.”

In Taoyuan Village, the two families were really close. There was no reason that after coming to the capital, their relationship would become colder.

Father Xiao said at this moment, “That’s right. We are one family. There’s no need to entertain us. Yu ‘Er, Tianhao, don’t worry. Hurry up and go out to do your work. Old Master, we will definitely take good care of you.”

They had taken a helicopter to get here. It had been less than two hours. They were not really tired.

Old Master Gong also smiled and said, “Yes, we are one family. Yu ‘Er, Tianhao, listen to your parents. Go and do your work!”

Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao, “...” It feels like we’ve been chased away.

Gong Tianhao held Xiao Lingyu and said to the Xiao family, “Grandfather, grandmother, father, mother... you can treat the Gong family as your own home. Our family doesn’t have any rules. You should rest if you feel tired. There are many rooms at home. You can choose any room you want. Yu ‘Er and I will go to the shop to take a look first.”

“Go, go!” Mother Xiao said with a smile.

At this moment, Xiao Letong’s little face was a little angry, “Great-grandfather, great-grandmother, Grandma, Grandpa, Daddy, Mommy, have you all forgotten about me? At least I’ve been here for some time already. I can be a tour guide and show everyone around.”

When they saw Xiao Letong’s cute, red face, everyone immediately reacted. Then, they smiled and said, “That’s right. Our Tong Tong can totally be a little tour guide and take us around.”

“Tong Tong is really great. He can share the worries of his parents!”

Everyone praised Xiao Letong.

Xiao Letong was very embarrassed by the praise. His little face was slightly red as he said, “Great-grandfather, great-grandmother, Grandma, and Grandpa... I’ll bring you all to...” Following that, the group of people followed Xiao Letong and walked around the Gong family.

Of course, the plane ride still took a toll on older people like Grandpa and Grandma Xiao. Therefore, they strolled around for a while before returning to their rooms to rest.

As for the young people, Xiao Lingyun was the only one who came. The other children were still in school and couldn’t come over.

Xiao Lingyun looked at the beautiful backyard of the Gong family and said in an intoxicated manner, “This place is really beautiful!”

Xiao Letong immediately said, “Auntie, when the two sisters are on vacation, shall we bring them over to play together?”

Xiao Lingyun nodded and said, “That’s not a problem. But, Tong Tong, your two sisters might get lost here since this place is so big.”

Her two daughters were still very smart compared to other children of the same age. However, their intelligence was nothing compared to Xiao Letong.

Sometimes, Xiao Lingyun was quite speechless.

Fortunately, the Xiao family had a sense of propriety and did not compare them to Xiao Letong. Otherwise, they would die of low self-esteem.

Xiao Letong immediately retorted, “My two sisters are very smart. They won’t get lost here. Otherwise, how could they get 100 marks every day?”

Ever since he was young, the two sisters had been very good to him. Xiao Letong would not allow anyone to say anything bad about them, not even their mother.

When Xiao Lingyun heard this, she immediately burst out laughing. Then, she nodded with a smile and said, “Alright, Tong Tong is right.”

Xiao Letong still said with some dissatisfaction, “Of course I’m right. My two sisters are very smart.”

Xiao Lingyun spread her hands, indicating that she had nothing to say.

Xiao Lingyun was here to work. After visiting the Gong family in the morning and having lunch in the afternoon, she went to work in the shop with Xiao Lingyu.

A few elders wanted to go together, but they were stopped by Xiao Lingyu.

Xiao Lingyu said, “The things in the shop are almost done. Grandpa and Grandma, why don’t you go and visit the capital?”

Old Master Gong said, “That’s right, Sister and Brother Xiao. It’s rare for you to come to the capital. I’ll get the driver to show you around. The capital is an ancient city with a long history. There are many places of interest and historic sites. At the same time, there are some newly built buildings with rich landmarks that are worth seeing. For example, Central TV station, the cube building, and so on.”

Grandpa Xiao immediately smiled and said, “Brother, now that you mentioned it, I’m really interested. After all, in the past, we had to watch it on television. Now that we’re here, it’d be a waste not to go sightseeing.”

Since Grandpa Xiao had said that, the juniors definitely wouldn’t have any objections.

As there were many people, Old Master Gong arranged for three cars. He also went with them to accompany Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao.

The cars only went around, and when they reached places that were interesting, they would stop to take a look.

Due to Old Master Gong’s special status, they were treated like VIPs in many places.

Of course, among these people, the happiest and most excited people were none other than Xiao Letong and Xiao Ling.

Ever since they had followed their parents to the capital, they were cooped up at the Gong Family Home.

Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao had a lot of things to do. Other than that day when the family went shopping, watched movies, and played in the amusement park, these irresponsible parents did not take their children out to see and play anymore.

Now, the two of them got to go out and play with their family. They were extremely excited. Being cooped up at home was really suffocating for them.

Well... One had to discount the fact that they had been sneaking out at night.

“Tong Tong, Ling ‘Er, did you have fun?”Mother Xiao asked with a smile.

The two children nodded and replied in unison, “Yes, we did. It was the happiest day since we came to the capital!”

Then, Xiao Letong added, “Grandma, Daddy, and Mommy are busy every day. They forgot to take Ling ‘Er and me out to play.”

Hearing Xiao Letong’s slightly complaining tone, mother Xiao laughed and said, “When your parents are done with their work, they will bring you out to play. Tong Tong, Ling ‘Er, you have to be understanding.”

“Of course!” The two children nodded their heads in unison.

...

Many families in the capital scoffed at Xiao Lingyu’s country background. They looked at her with disdain.

However, when the supermarket opened for business, they had no choice but to give this woman face. On the day of her supermarket opening, they sent a gift over and said with a smile, “Congratulations, Mrs. Gong!”
