The old man’s name is Huang Chaoqiang, and he’s here to see Su Qinghe.

According to the old lady, the old man was her cousin’s husband. After they got married, Su Qinghe should call him uncle. Finally, she mentioned that the old man used to be the chief official of Nanling Town.

Looking at the cigarette butts floating in the disposable paper cup on the coffee table, Su Qinghe frowned, and then breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Bai Zhi and the little guy were not in the hall.

Huang Chaoqiang's attention had always been on Su Qinghe, so he naturally noticed the change in Su Qinghe's expression, smiled awkwardly, and suggested taking a walk outside.

Su Qinghe naturally agreed.

As soon as he walked out of the yard, Huang Chaoqiang took out his cigarettes, pulled out two and handed them to Su Qinghe. When Su Qinghe refused, he put one into his mouth and put the remaining one back into the box.

"I've been smoking all my life. I'm addicted." Huang Chaoqiang lit the cigarette and took a puff, "Going for a walk in Jiujing?"

Sure enough, I came here for the greenhouse, but think about it, if I don’t come early, I won’t come later, but I came on the day when the greenhouse is completed.

The construction team has left, and Shuangtang Village has returned to peace.

It's almost five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is setting in the west, and a ray of sunset hits the fish pond. Smoke from the village is curling up, and a few ducks from unknown families are swimming in the fish pond.

Huang Chaoqiang looked at it and sighed: "I don't know if we will still see such a scene in a few decades.

In the past, we always told our children to study hard and tried every possible means to send them out. We don’t have to be like us, facing the loess and turning our backs to the sky all our lives.

Now it's better, the children have gone out and settled down, but I still want them to come back."

Su Qinghe didn't speak, just listened quietly.

Huang Chaoqiang continued: "Now the standard of living has improved. Every house has a building and every household has a car. Look, how beautiful these buildings are! It's just a pity that such a good house is empty.

No one lives there."

The land is not planted and the house is empty.

This phenomenon is becoming more and more common in rural areas. There is nothing we can do about it. Living standards have improved, but so have consumption levels. Farming alone cannot sustain the expenses of a family.

A person's life requires more than just food and clothing. Children go to school, the elderly see a doctor... which one does not require money?

When he arrived at Jiujingdi and looked at the magnificent greenhouse in front of him, Huang Chaoqiang stared blankly for a while, "I have come to see it several times, and every time I see it, I feel it is magnificent. I heard that you are going to grow strawberries in the greenhouse?"

Su Qinghe nodded, "That's the decision at the moment, but we may also grow other fruits and vegetables."

"I've been asking people about it these days, and the prospects for the strawberry industry are very good." Huang Chaoqiang took out another cigarette and lit it, "Since you have spent so much money to build a greenhouse to grow strawberries, I believe you also have it.

After investigation, do you think Nanling Town is suitable for large-scale strawberry planting?"

Su Qinghe was dumbfounded and said with a wry smile: "Uncle, you are wrong about this. I grew strawberries on a whim. First, my mother-in-law thought that if I didn't do something at home, people would become useless. Second, my wife likes to eat them.

."

Huang Chaoqiang was stunned when he heard this. Looking at Su Qinghe, who didn't look fake, he asked curiously: "Really?"

"What's the point of lying? In fact, from making the decision to renting land and building a shed, I didn't consider other issues. It was all with my own money. I don't have to be responsible to anyone if I lose money. At most, I just

It just became a topic for everyone to talk about after dinner." Su Qinghe said.

"Have you never thought about sales?"

Su Qinghe took a serious look at Huang Chaoqiang and said, "Uncle, if you are entrusted by someone, you might as well ask him to come and talk to me directly."

Huang Chaoqiang said bitterly, "It is true that someone asked me to find out what you are saying, but you have to believe that I hope Nanling Town will develop better than anyone else!"

When it came to the latter sentence, his tone was serious and sincere.

Su Qinghe had to believe that the old man in front of him had brought Nanling Town to a level that could be said to be unparalleled during his tenure - it had been rated as one of the top ten towns in terms of comprehensive rural strength in the city for nine consecutive years.

He was born in Nanling and grew up in Nanling. He is like the mountains in Nanling, silently watching Nanling gradually fall behind.

Night is approaching, and Huang Chaoqiang's desolate back can be vaguely seen.

Su Qinghe took a deep breath. He had accumulated a lot of assets and connections over the years, and even after returning to his hometown, he was bound to a system for no reason.

But he is not a god after all. Nanling is still a mountain town surrounded by mountains.

Large-scale planting of crops with high economic benefits is indeed a good direction. At least it will not be like now, where land is left to be abandoned because of low economic benefits.

But limited by geographical location, sales are the biggest problem.

After dinner, Su Qinghe sat on the porch again to enjoy the cool air.

Su Xiaoting sat next to her, holding her chin in her hands, staring blankly at the night sky.

Su Qinghe asked: "Tingting, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"

Su Xiaoting sighed, "My friends are leaving again!"

The feeling of loneliness in that moment after the excitement was overwhelming. Just watching Su Xiaoting sighing, Su Qinghe felt distressed and funny at the same time.

He got up and went into the house, took out the little guy who had just washed his hands and face, and put it on the ground. "Hey, dear, how about you go play with your sister?"

"Sister~"

The little guy took her wobbly steps and plunged into Su Xiaoting's arms.

After a while, the two children were happily playing a game of identifying facial features.

"Sister, what is this?" Su Xiaoting pointed to her nose, "nose~"

The little guy stretched out his hand to grab it, and Su Xiaoting was in pain, "Sister, you can't grab it hard!"

Then he grabbed the little guy's hand and put it on the little guy's nose, "You also have a nose, you touch your own."

The little guy was really cruel to me. He patted his nose with his little hand, was stunned for a moment, and then grinned.

"Nose~"

Then he turned to look at Su Qinghe, "Dad, nose~"

"Ah, yes, yes, a nose! Dad has a nose too~" Su Qinghe pointed to his nose.

Bai Zhi came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes. When the little guy saw her, he shouted to Bai Zhi again: "Mom, nose~"

Bai Zhi pinched her nose and said angrily: "Oh, mom has no nose!"

"Yes~" The little guy was anxious and staggered over to hug his mother's feet, "Nose~"

"Okay, okay, mom has a nose~" Bai Zhi bent down and scratched the little guy's nose, "We all have noses~"

The little guy pointed to the house, "Zu~"

"My dear, you are so smart. My mother-in-law also has a nose~" Bai Zhi glanced into the room, "Hey, where is my mother-in-law?"

"I'm taking a shower. I just made my clothes wet when I washed my hands."

Hearing Su Qinghe's answer, Bai Zhi bent down and scratched the little guy's face, "You are so naughty, did you get your mother-in-law's clothes wet?"

"Water~" The little guy's eyes rolled around, and then he crawled to find Su Xiaoting, "Sister~Fish~"

The Bodhisattva fish caught by Su Xiaoting before was kept in a short tank at home. During this period, Su Xiaoting went to catch a few more from time to time.

There are now more than a dozen Buddha fish in the short tank, and the little ones often like to play there.

Su Xiaoting hesitated and glanced at Su Qinghe secretly.

"Take your sister with you, don't watch your sister!"

Even in the courtyard, Su Qinghe can see it and is not afraid.
