Why does a wanderer returning home feel an extraordinary sense of closeness to every blade of grass and tree in their hometown?
Is it truly because they haven't been back for a long time and the hometown has changed significantly?
The answer is no!
The fundamental reason for all this lies in the wanderer who has been adrift for many years. No matter what industry they are in, the moment they return home, they feel incredibly relaxed and happy.
Because this is home for every wanderer!!!
Home is always synonymous with warmth, and hometown is the most cherished existence for all children of China, because it is where their closest people are, parents, sisters, brothers, and so on – the kinship that is thicker than blood.
Returning home means being far away from the secular troubles of the outside world, the deceit and trickery in career and business, and the ups and downs of human relationships, achieving true relaxation.
Of course, this doesn't apply to everyone, but it's the case for over ninety percent.
Home is always the warmest harbor in the hearts of many, a spiritual solace for many wanderers adrift, allowing them to pause and rest.
The Santana drove slowly on the country road, and the three Qin brothers were immersed in a very special mood.
It wasn't until their car was stopped that the three brothers were jolted awake, realizing that many people were already standing by the roadside, blocking the car.
The brothers exchanged glances, confused about the situation.
"I told you so, when I saw this car appear at our village entrance, Old Wang immediately guessed it must be the Qin brothers returning, right!"
At this moment, they heard a loud voice from outside the car. It was their village's famous loudmouth, Wang Tuzi. Due to a scalp condition, he not only had no hair but also patches of tinea capitis, earning him the nickname "Wang Tuzi" (Baldy Wang).
The surrounding villagers, chuckling, nodded and greeted the Qin brothers in the car.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan knew he had no choice but to get out. He found it strange that in this era, unlike later times with convenient communication and everyone having a mobile phone in a village group chat, how could so many people be blocking his car as soon as it entered the village?
However, this was not the time to ponder such things. Qin Chuan was the first to open his car door and get out, taking out cigarettes and enthusiastically distributing them to the villagers one by one.
Qin Gang and Qin Yang also followed him out, warmly greeting and offering cigarettes to the villagers.
After a period of experience in the city, let alone Qin Gang, Qin Yang had also changed significantly. At least he had become more cheerful and confident, and understood social interactions.
More than two months ago, when Qin Chuan drove their parents back, whispers of their newfound wealth had already spread throughout the village. After all, in this era, being able to drive a car was a definite sign of making a lot of money.
Now that the three Qin brothers had returned, every villager who saw them greeted them with a smile.
"Oh my, I was working in the fields and saw a car driving from afar. I guessed it must be you three brothers returning! And indeed, it is you!"
"Qin boys, I heard you've made a lot of money. If you've struck it rich, don't forget about us, after all, we're from the same village!"
"Qin Chuan, what kind of business are you in now? Can you let my son tag along with you!"
"Yes! Yes! We're all from the same village, so let's get rich together. You eat meat, and we'll be happy with just a sip of the soup!"
Before he could even finish distributing the cigarettes, Qin Chuan had a general idea of the villagers' intentions for stopping them. Almost everyone was trying to gather information, hoping to get themselves, their sons, or relatives involved in their ventures.
He wasn't surprised by this, as it was a common human behavior. In any era, people need to eat and drink, and making money is always everyone's basic pursuit.
Who would smile and flatter others insincerely if not for a few coins?
Calculating the time, it was already July. Qin Chuan remembered that the state was about to release policies regarding real estate reform and the cancellation of welfare housing.
Once these policies were in place, it would be a groundbreaking reform for the real estate industry, reviving it after years of stagnation and making many people rich overnight.
Qin Chuan eagerly anticipated this day, as only then could his real estate investments yield substantial profits and fulfill his dream of becoming rich overnight.
Moreover, the reform of the real estate industry would spur the development of many other related industries, such as decoration, furniture and building materials, and home appliances, among others.
The three companies Qin Chuan had founded so far were still just shell companies.
Looking at the faces of so many fellow villagers eager to make money, Qin Chuan felt it was time for Chen Jinyu to start recruiting and assembling a capable decoration team!
He had been so busy lately that he had almost overlooked the decoration aspect, but now, he realized it was the right time.
Once the national real estate policy reform was implemented, the decoration industry would also usher in a spring, creating immense profits and providing employment opportunities for many.
Why not seize this opportunity to start building a decoration team?
This move offered many benefits: it could make money, win people's hearts, and earn him a good reputation – a win-win-win.
"Xiao Chuan, what kind of business are you really in? Tell us!"
"Yes! Yes! We're all very curious!"
The villagers gathered around urged him, showing great curiosity.
Qin Chuan felt it was time to reveal a bit about himself to the villagers. After all, his business would be exposed sooner or later, as the county town was too small.
Villagers from surrounding villages and towns appeared in the county town every day. While no one might notice his business initially, as time passed, someone would eventually discover his secret.
Rather than being discovered later and creating gossip, it was better to confess now. This way, he could also earn envious glances, or perhaps even recruit these people to work for him through this opportunity.
Although he wasn't particularly interested in such public displays, especially in front of his fellow villagers, where there was little sense of accomplishment, it was still better than being accused later of only caring about his own wealth and being selfish.
"Actually... it's nothing much!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Chuan displayed a bashful expression, like a shy boy next door.
"I'm currently involved in real estate business, collaborating with wealthy tycoons to jointly develop a property project!"
"That project has already reached the third floor and will be completed soon. If anyone wants to buy an apartment in the city, you can come to me. I'll offer the villagers significant discounts!"
Qin Chuan shyly introduced his current business.
As Qin Chuan finished speaking, it was evident that the expressions of the villagers, who had been smiling just moments before, all changed.
From their initial playful smiles, they shifted to surprise, and finally to shock, their mouths agape, eyes wide, as if they had heard something incredible.
Qin Yang and Qin Gang, standing beside him, were also surprised. They seemed to have not expected their ever-secretive younger brother to voluntarily reveal his secrets today.
This was quite puzzling!
