"This place is so beautiful. No wonder Shishi doesn't want to go back to Huacheng when she gets here. If I stay in such a beautiful place every day, I don't want to go back to Huacheng. Lian Dai, let's live here when we retire, okay?"
"Lang Siqin asked with a smile.
"Okay. As long as Tianwang has no objection, of course I am willing to live here." Li Liandai said with a smile.
"Does he dare? Mom and Dad, you should come here often in the future. Living here is much more comfortable than Huacheng. There is no noise at all at night. It's very quiet." Li Shishi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, smiled.
Luo Tianwang drove the car and said with a smile: "It's not too late for me to be happy, how could I not be willing?"
"Then it's settled." Li Shishi smiled.
"You said that the countryside is quiet at night, but I don't necessarily agree. Although there are no cars in the village at night, there are many frogs in the countryside. In summer nights, the sound of frogs is like thunder. During the summer vacation this year, some citizens called the police, saying that the frogs were disturbing the residents.
.I still remember that our public security personnel responded in a very humorous way." Li Liandai said with a smile.
"But the croaking of frogs is different from the noise in the city, and they don't croak all night long. Shouldn't the croaking of frogs be considered noise?" Li Shishi said.
"It's true that frog noise is not as annoying as ordinary noise." Lang Siqin said.
"Tianwang, when we come here, how did you arrange our accommodation?" Li Liandai asked.
"I have booked a hotel in Xilin and after dinner, I will have someone take you there. In the past, it only took more than an hour's drive by highway. The main reason is that the hotel conditions in Xilin are better, but the hotel conditions in our Shuikou Miao Town are not good. They are hygienic.
It’s definitely difficult to guarantee,” Luo Tianwang said.
"Didn't your family just build a villa? Can't it still accommodate so many people?" Li Liandai asked.
"It's quite affordable to live in, but it didn't take long for the house to be renovated, and the living conditions are not as good as the hotels in Xilin." Luo Tianwang said.
"We came here so early just to have a look in the village. You asked us to stay in Xilin, so we might as well come here later. No matter how comfortable we are in a hotel in Xilin, can it be more comfortable than at home? Go and check out all the hotels in Xilin
If you withdraw, we will live in your home." Li Liandai said.
"I have prepared the motorcade and will prepare to welcome the bride in Xilin when the time comes," Luo Tianwang said.
"On that day, we will go to Xilin. You and Shishi can just bring some representatives. We are too lazy to run around." Li Liandai said with a smile.
"Is this okay?" Luo Tianwang smiled.
"Why not? If dad says it can, then it will definitely work." Li Shishi couldn't help but laugh.
Li Liandai was a little embarrassed: "Otherwise, let's follow the customs here. We can't be too special. Then we can go to Xilin the day before the wedding."
"Tianwang, where is your planting base?" Li Liandai asked.
"We're almost there. The area ahead is He Mawan. The rice fields in the planting base have been renovated, which can be seen at a glance." Luo Tianwang said, pointing to the fields ahead.
Li Liandai took a serious look and nodded approvingly: "You are carrying out extensive transformation based on the original terrain. This is a good method. In fact, there is no need to bulldoze all the rice fields. It may be better not to destroy the original landform."
Luo Tianwang nodded: "Since it is an ecological farm, how can it be called an ecological farm if the original topography is not preserved? I only need to transform the farmland to the point where it can be farmed with machines. In this way, I can save a lot of costs.
.”
"How much does it cost to renovate rice fields like this?" Li Liandai asked.
"On average, one acre of land costs less than a few hundred yuan, because most of the rice fields remain as they are, with only the ridges being reinforced to withstand the intensity of mechanical farming. In addition, the water retention capacity of the rice fields has been enhanced. The average price is one thousand yuan per acre.
The number of acres is so high that the main cost now is the transfer of rice fields." Luo Tianwang said.
"Listen to Shishi. Do you provide free food rations to the villagers?" Li Liandai asked.
Luo Tianwang nodded: "Everyone in the village subcontracted their rice fields to me. I will no longer grow food myself. Many people will stay in the village to work on the farms in the future. Without the rice fields, there will be no food rations. We produce food on our own farms.
It's better to provide it to them for free, and they can subcontract the rice fields to me with peace of mind."
Li Liandai nodded: "You did a good job. These rice fields of yours should be certified as organic products in the future. This free supply of rations is not a small sum of money. Will you regret it in the future?"
Luo Tianwang shook his head: "I have calculated that if the whole village stays in Hemawan and only supplies rations every year, according to the price of Taoyuan Farm rice, we will need to supply more than ten million worth of rice every year in the future. But I run this Taoyuan Farm
It’s not about how much money I can make. Even if I provide free food rations to the villagers, the farm can still be maintained and even make a lot of profits. In this case, what do I have to regret?”
Li Liandai said approvingly: "That's right. You can't just make money, you should also think about making a career. This ecological farm is a very potential development direction. Tianwang, come on, strive to keep Taoyuan Farm going
If we grow bigger, we will sell Taoyuan rice to every corner of the world in the future. Let the whole world know that Chinese farmers can grow the best rice in the world."
"You two, stop chatting, I saw the village. Tianwang, where is your house?" Lang Siqin asked excitedly.
"That! After passing the woods, you can only see the roof now." Li Shishi pointed in the direction of Luo Tianwang's house and said.
"Then what place is this?" Lang Siqin asked.
"This is a village primary school. I teach the children in the village here every day," Li Shishi said.
"The school is well built. How many classes are there? How many teachers?" Lang Siqin asked.
"The school has just been built. The new teacher has not been sent yet. Now I am the only teacher in the village primary school. I have combined all the grades into two classes, one for the lower grade and one for the upper grade. The lower grade has classes and the upper grade has self-study.
Self-study, lower grade classes." Li Shishi said.
"How could this be possible? Then wouldn't some children's studies be delayed?" Li Liandai frowned.
"Otherwise, children would have to walk more than ten miles outside the village to go to school. The mountain roads are difficult to walk, and children would fall and get injured on the road every year. Now there are fewer and fewer children in the village. The town is not willing to open classes here.
"Li Shishi said.
"In the past, when our country was poor, we could set up a school in each village. Now that the country is rich and powerful, can each village not be able to set up a school?" Lang Siqin asked in confusion.
"Yes. Why do the children have no place to go to school when the country becomes rich?" Li Liandai murmured to himself.
"Don't talk about national events, Shishi, where is it over there? Why is it still foggy? It's so beautiful, like a fairyland." Lang Siqin asked when he saw the woods on the farm. The trees planted in the barren mountains
They have grown very tall this year, and their branches and leaves are also very luxuriant. The more luxuriant these trees are, the better the effect of the large formation will be. The more spiritual energy will be gathered, and as a result, this light mist will fill the whole day. From a distance
Looking at it, it looks like a fairyland.
People in Ho Ma Wan are already accustomed to strange things, but people who come from outside will always be surprised when they get here.
"It was a breeding farm. Now the farm raises chickens and ducks. It used to be a barren hill, but later some random trees were planted. There were fruit trees, and many weird trees. It was all done by this guy. Everyone in the village persuaded him
He refused to grow fruits and vegetables and went to the mountains to plant many strange trees. If all the fruits and vegetables were planted in such a large barren mountain, how much fruit would be produced in a year?" Li Shishi said.
"Why is this?" Li Liandai asked puzzledly.
Luo Tianwang laughed and said: "To build a real ecosystem, we cannot plant economic forests. The ecological effect of comprehensive forests is several times stronger than that of single economic forests. In many places, afforestation has turned into single economic forests, which has seriously weakened the ecological effect of the forest.
.My main purpose is to create a healthy ecological environment, so that the food, livestock and poultry produced will be closer to the natural state."
"That's true. You are quite thoughtful. But doing so will also increase your production costs. If you grow fruits and vegetables in this barren mountain, you can dilute your production costs." Li Liandai said.
"It doesn't matter. These barren hills are all white anyway. They only need a little renovation. Besides, they can also raise chickens and ducks," Luo Tianwang said.
"Dad, Mom, let's go home first. After dinner, you can come out and see." Li Shishi said.
At Luo Tianwang's house, Liu Huilan and others are helping to prepare. Li Shishi's family has not yet arrived, and Luo Tianwang's house has already begun preparations in full swing. The new house has not yet been burned, and the kitchen is still in the old house.
"Zhengjiang, it seems that a car is coming. You and Hongmei go and pick it up. Shuigen, go and prepare firecrackers. If Shishi's family comes, they have to set off firecrackers to greet them." Luo Changqing is in charge of Luo Tianwang's house. According to seniority
, Luo Guangfu is the head of the household, but Luo Tianwang's family is doing such a big thing, and there are many city people visiting. Luo Guangfu can't even speak Mandarin, how can he take care of the matter? So all the specific matters are left to Luo Changqing.
"Brother Changqing, it's not even the wedding yet, and now you're setting off firecrackers? Is this an early wedding, or what?" Luo Shuigan asked.
"You know what the heck, it's the first time someone comes to your door, you just set off firecrackers. Why do you care so much? Modern people have new things to do, how can there be so many rules?" Luo Changqing kicked Luo Shuigan on the butt.
Luo Shuigan hurriedly ran to the house, took two bundles of firecrackers, and went to meet them at the intersection. The firecrackers were first placed on the roadside, and only the leader was found. When the car came, he was ready to light them.
