In terms of distance, Xu Suizhu’s favorite is Fuming Island, which is three nautical miles away from the fishing village.
Although Fuming Island only covers an area of just over 1 square kilometer, it was an inhabited island before liberation because it was close to the land. During the Anti-Japanese War, it was burned down by the Japanese and the islanders were forced to migrate en masse.
To commemorate their ancestors, after liberation, descendants built a temple on the island called "Fuming Temple". However, during the turbulent times in the 1960s, it was smashed to pieces and has remained deserted.
It was not until the reform and opening up that worshiping ancestors was no longer a taboo, so the destroyed temples were repaired, and a Mazu temple and a Mazu statue were built on the seaside to protect fishermen's safety at sea.
Although no one lives on the island permanently, there are many buildings on the island. Even if Xu Suizhu wants to buy it, the government will not sell it. In the future, Yupu County will rely on the prosperous Lifo Island to make it popular.
So she directly set her sights on the small island three or four nautical miles away from Fuming Island. Unlike the round island of Fuming Island, this truly uninhabited desert island is S-shaped and slightly larger in area than Fuming Island.
Some, estimated to be 1.6 square kilometers.
As far as she knows, in a few years, all desert islands within this distance will be listed as the first batch of development projects in the province.
With the investment from various sources, these islands have been deeply developed in the later period. Some of them even dug out fresh water.
After the millennium, these well-developed islands have become one of the top ten most popular holiday islands in the country.
There are many shops on the island, and cultural buildings such as memorial halls and museums have been opened one after another.
The breathtaking scenery, appetizing seafood and simple cultural atmosphere attracted waves of literary and artistic people and gourmets. Later, it became a popular romantic travel destination on the Internet.
During holidays, hotels and B&Bs on the island are very busy.
Unfortunately, she didn't know which island could dig out fresh water. She could only rely on luck.
In addition to the islands that are relatively close to the shore, if she has enough money, she would also like to invest in one that is further away and larger.
Of course, it’s not too far away. Even if there is a yacht transfer, it will be too time-consuming and laborious to enter and leave the island, which will also hinder tourists.
It is best to be 25 kilometers offshore.
This means that even if the contract period is expired and the contract is renewed in the future, the contract fee will still be the cheapest—in my mind, it only costs more than ten yuan per hectare.
As for which one to choose, we have to wait for on-site investigation before deciding. Xu Suizhu thought about hiring some villagers to go to the island to find out what it was like when he went back.
Now, she first bought the S-shaped island she was interested in, and gave it a very lucky name - "Fuju Island".
The county magistrate didn't know that she planned to buy a second island. He was afraid that the asking price would be too high and scare people away, so he pondered and quoted a preferential price:
"Nowadays, the minimum contract price for barren hills is 15 yuan per hectare. There is no precedent for island contracting. Let's compare it to this price. Considering the inconvenience of transportation, we will give you a discount, 10 yuan per hectare. Fuju Island has a total of
160 hectares, a total of 1,600 yuan, which is the contract price for one year. How many years do you want to contract?"
"How many years can the contract be contracted for at most?" Xu Suizhu asked.
"Generally, it is 30 years. However, island construction is not easy. If you apply according to special procedures, it can be extended to 50 years."
The county magistrate also had good intentions.
Of course, the main reason is that after the contract period expires, we will not be able to find another owner with such a stupid person and a lot of money.
Xu Suizhu, however, wished that the life would be as long as possible, so she decisively replied: "Then 50 years."
The two people who slapped Xiao Jiujiu were silently thankful in their hearts...
Signing the agreement required an ID card and a household registration book, so Xu Suizhu simply took them with him and paid the contract fee for the first year on the spot. After receiving the freshly released agreement, Xu Suizhu excitedly held the contract agreement stamped with the official seal of the county government and read it again and again.
When it was over, I couldn't help but kiss her hard.
Passers-by on the street think she is crazy, so don't look at her in weird ways.
Xu Suizhu smiled awkwardly, accepted the agreement, and jumped on the bus back to Fjord Town. He wished he could immediately board the boat to the island and sneak away to his new territory.
After arriving in the town, she returned to the rental house first, put the nutrition cabin into cart mode, took out the herbal nourishing solution, fish floss and jelly beans that she had drawn earlier, and rushed back to the fishing village happily.
It was the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and Lin Jianbing’s family also returned to the fishing village to celebrate the New Year.
When Xu Suizhu arrived, they were killing chickens and ducks in the yard.
"Come back Suisui?"
"I'm back! Sister-in-law, this is for you. Have a happy New Year!"
Wu Meili took it and saw that it was a jar of beautifully packaged moisturizer. She thought it must be a high-end product bought in Haicheng. The price was not cheap at first glance. No one would accept it.
"Sister-in-law, this is my little thought. Thank you for taking care of me and Doudou. If you don't take care of me, I won't have the nerve to ask you and my brother for help in the future."
Wu Meili knew that Xu Suizhu cared about her son, so she pointed to the wing and said, "Doudou hasn't woken up from his nap yet, Cuicui and Zhuangzhuang are watching him inside. Come in quickly."
Xu Suizhu looked up and saw Cuicui, with her Zhuangzhuang face pressed against the window of the wing, looking at her excitedly, covering her little mouth and wanting to shout but not daring to shout.
Xu Suizhu waved to them.
Seeing this, Cuicui gave Zhuangzhuang a gentle push and whispered, "Go quickly, I'll watch Doudou here."
Zhuang Zhuang immediately galloped out, ran to Xu Suizhu, raised his head and shouted: "Gu!"
"How good! Why didn't sister come with you?"
"Sister is watching Doudou because she is afraid that Doudou will wake up and fall off the bed."
Ever since Little Baozi could crawl, someone had to watch him from time to time while sleeping, because after waking up, he always liked to crawl around, and if he wasn't careful, he would fall off the bed and hit his head on the compacted dirt. It was no joke.
"Cui Cui, Zhuang Zhuang are so good and awesome! Auntie wants to reward you!" Xu Suizhu took out the fish floss and jelly beans and patted his head, "Take them and share them with your sister. Don't eat too much at one time."
"Thank you, aunt!" Zhuang Zhuang walked vigorously and excitedly rushed into the back room to share delicious snacks with Cuicui.
Xu Suizhu went to the kitchen and said hello to her aunt before carrying the cart into the back room.
I don't know if the mother and son had a heart-to-heart connection, or if they happened to wake up at this time, Xu Suizhu walked to the bedside, and the little bun opened his eyes, turned his ignorant little face, and when he saw Xu Suizhu, his mouth tightened, as if he was about to cry.
"What's wrong with Doudou? Don't cry, don't cry! It's Mommy! Mommy is back!"
It was okay if Xu Suizhu didn't say anything. When he did, the little bun burst into tears and burst into tears, as if he had been greatly wronged.
Xu Xiuyuan heard the cry and ran in holding a spatula. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but said with distress:
"Doudou misses you. After you left that day, I kept looking for you. Boss Wang's car drove out of the provincial capital, and he even held the car door to get out. Yiliwulu looked for you crying, as if you didn't want him anymore.
Like, until I'm tired of crying and fall asleep. Oh my, it makes us feel bad..."
