The scenic area was officially established, and the construction around it had already begun. Lin Xiao, with his foresight, moved his unfinished residence to a place far from the scenic area, situated between the scenic area and the village.

In Lin Xiao's plan, the second phase of the farm would be directly set up in the scenic area, earning a bit of extra money. Originally, his only hope for building the farm was to use it as a cover, so that things like peaches would have a source. Moreover, Lin Xiao had a grand goal.

The village nearby might be the biggest beneficiary of the establishment of the scenic area. Lin Xiao had also visited the village once. There were not many wealthy people in the village; most still lived a life of ox-plowing fields, with hardly any tractors. The village chief was an elderly man over sixty, with deep marks of time on his face. Though only in his sixties, he looked like an eighty-year-old man.

Once the scenic area was established, the increase in foot traffic would mean more people passing through the village. The pure, pesticide-free crops and green vegetables would be in high demand. Do you need to ask why?

In theory, the villages around H City should not be so backward, but this village was in a very poor location, just outside the jurisdiction of H City and not within the range of Xitang, making it a no-man's land. Without government support, it naturally lagged behind other villages.

The Gongsun Tomb added another tourist attraction to H City, which, as the capital of Z Province, was already a tourist city. In the past, visitors to H City mostly came to see the lake, as many historical poems and textbooks described the lake in H City, and the idyllic scenery was one of the main reasons people came to visit.

Several months passed quickly, and Lin Xiao's home was almost complete. The only thing left was the transplantation of trees. The artificial hills, paths, and pavilions were all finished, and the house, which was the first to be completed, was almost fully decorated, with only the final step of waiting for the paint smell to dissipate before moving in.

During these months, Lin Xiao spent every day at the construction site, visiting the nearby village from time to time, and surfing the internet in the evenings, living a full and rich life.

The village was called Wangjia Village, consisting of over a hundred households, with 70% of the residents surnamed Wang. The village had a history of over a hundred years, but due to its backwardness, most of the young people had left to work in the city.

Lying in bed, thinking about moving into his own house the next day, Lin Xiao found himself unable to calm down, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

The next day, he said goodbye to his landlord, carrying a small suitcase with only a few changes of clothes, and drove towards Wangjia Village.

In the end, Lin Xiao's house was only 400 meters from Wangjia Village, 300 meters closer than his original location. Although the scenic area was a factor, Lin Xiao also considered that in this isolated place, it was better to be closer to the village. After all, humans are social animals, and being too far from people made him uncomfortable.

After much consideration, he decided to build his house as close to the village as possible. The villagers of Wangjia Village couldn't understand why Lin Xiao was building a house there. To them, it seemed like a waste of money to build such a beautiful house in such a desolate place. They thought he could have bought several more houses in the city with that money.

Although Lin Xiao supervised the construction every day, he was still amazed when he finally moved in. The villa in front of him, with its retro appearance, had small green bricks and original wood on the walls, a wooden balcony, and large windows, making it clean and comfortable.

A small river less than three meters wide surrounded the villa, and the transplanted large trees partially obscured it, creating a picturesque scene. A small path added the finishing touch, making it a beautiful and elegant sight.

This was the first time Lin Xiao saw the finished villa, and he stood there with his mouth open, not knowing what to say.

Why was he so surprised? In the last few days, Lin Xiao was chased away by He Pingji's construction team, not allowed to peek, as they wanted to give him a surprise.

Over the past few months, Lin Xiao had become close with everyone on the construction site, and everyone liked this wealthy man who had no airs and graces.

The main body of the villa covered 788 square meters, a medium-sized villa. Approaching quickly, the three-story villa with its vermilion roof and white chimney was striking. He took out the key and opened the door, greeted by a fresh rose scent, which was likely used to remove the paint smell.

Stepping into the hall, the modern design was a stark contrast to the retro exterior. The entire hall was covered with marble, with a carpet in the center, a 42-inch LCD TV embedded in a modern fireplace, and sofas arranged in a circle around the TV.

The huge three-tiered umbrella chandelier in the hall was grand, and the right wall was entirely made of organic glass, both sturdy and beautiful, offering a view of the small bridge and flowing water outside, adding a sense of charm and sophistication. Sitting in such a living room was a delight.

The hall was over 300 square meters wide, and apart from the hall, there were three guest rooms. The first floor was designed simply and elegantly, with clever details that Lin Xiao appreciated.

The unique staircase, different from traditional ones, was made of wooden planks with a glass handrail, creating a simple and beautiful look.

The master bedroom was on the second floor. Opening the door to his bedroom, the main color was a warm, dark yellow, with original wood floors, large windows, and a double bed. Several paintings hung on the walls, and a 90-square-meter bathroom completed the master bedroom.

All controls were modern, using the latest smartphones and a tablet. To activate the villa, one had to use a smartphone first; otherwise, the key wouldn't work.

The electronic smart control system was more convenient and labor-saving, with all lights and doors controlled by a tablet.

Lin Xiao had considered this for a long time, as power outages could be a problem. However, the person in charge of the system assured him that this wouldn't happen. For a standalone villa, this electronic system was the best choice, and a generator could be installed to solve any issues.

In the end, Lin Xiao was attracted to the electronic smart system. Now, he was playing with the tablet, completely engrossed, while everything else was forgotten. He was exploring the various functions of the tablet.
