Xu Xiuyuan looked at her grandnephew distressedly and continued: "I have been feeding him his favorite banana-flavored rice cereal for the past two days since I came back. Yesterday, Cuicui and Zhuangzhuang came to play with him and play with him, and then I saw that he was happy.
In the evening he started to feel depressed again, looking for you from house to house. If he couldn't find you, he would point to the courtyard door and go outside to look for you. Your uncle carried him and walked around along the wall. He used to coax him like this, but this time it didn't work. He was annoyed.
He even grabbed your uncle’s hand and bit it, so naughty..."
Xu Suizhu felt heartbroken after hearing this. She picked up her son and kissed his head and forehead while holding back the tears in her eyes: "My dear, Mommy misses you too! Mommy promises you that she will never leave you again and will take you with her wherever she goes.
Don’t cry, baby…”
What pearls are you selling? What islands are you buying? If you have a child, everything will be fine, and everything else is just a cloud!
Little Baozi seemed to understand, burping and sobbing, and nestled in Xu Suizhu's arms, he finally stopped crying.
But then she refused to let go of Xu Suizhu. No matter how much Xu Xiuyuan teased him, she still clung to Xu Suizhu. Even if Zhuang Zhuang teased him by waving a stick, she still refused to get off Xu Suizhu's arms.
"Doudou, look at this cart. Mom bought it new. Does it look good? It feels so comfortable to sit on. Do you want to sit and watch? Mom won't leave. I'll stay here with you." Xu Suizhu hugged him.
Get to the cart.
Perhaps he was used to sleeping in nutrition cabins. Although the style of this stroller converted from nutrition cabins had changed, the material remained the same, giving him a sense of familiarity. Little Baozi was finally willing to sit down and sit on it. He touched it with his right hand.
Pushing the cart, his left hand still held Xu Suizhu's index finger tightly.
Xu Suizhu: "..." Little cutie, how can you let Mommy go to the toilet like this?
It seems that this time it really scared the little guy.
Xu Suizhu reflected on herself: Children grow up day by day and begin to have their own thoughts. They can no longer be coaxed and left to the care of others as they used to be.
At least it cannot make the child feel uneasy, otherwise it will be harmful to his growth.
Fortunately, she has no plans to go out in the near future. Unless the school sends her on a business trip, that's fine. It would be good to take Little Baozi with her and introduce him to the world in advance.
After the family sat down, Xu Suizhu briefly talked about buying an island.
Xu Xiuyuan thought she heard wrongly, so she picked her ears and asked: "What did you just say?"
"When I say I bought an island, I can't say I bought it. It's a contract. The contract period is 50 years. It's almost the same as buying it." Xu Suizhu repeated.
The family was collectively shocked.
It took him a while to come back to his senses. You looked at me and I looked at you, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"What, are islands cheap? How much does it cost to buy one?" Lin Jianbing was the first to break the strange silence in the room.
Wu Meili pinched him: "You think you are buying discounted clothes! How can it be cheap! I have never seen a small hill in Lishan Village cost several thousand. The farm contracted by my father, with such a small amount of land, does not count the fishing boats.
The piece you buy is a deserted island, but there is fishing all around and farming on the island, so how can it be cheap?"
Lin Guodong analyzed with approval: "No matter how cheap it is, I can't give it to you for just a few hundred yuan."
"Tell me the truth, how much did you spend? And where did you get the money? Didn't you almost spend the bonus on a trip to the provincial capital? Didn't you borrow a loan from someone with a high interest rate?"
Thinking about it, Xu Xiuyuan became anxious.
"It's okay. I got the money to build the island from selling pearls. Have you forgotten those pearls I dug up last time?"
"No matter how valuable pearls are, how many hundred can they be sold for?" Xu Xiuyuan frowned.
"More than that." Xu Suizhu raised an index finger, "Sold for this amount."
"One thousand?" Xu Xiuyuan raised her voice, her voice trembling with excitement.
Xu Suizhu still shook his head and said two words with a smile: "Ten thousand."
This is still the value of one pill, she didn’t say she sold eight pills.
Even so, everyone was shocked.
"What? Are shell beads fished out of the sea so valuable?" Wu Meili swallowed, wanting to rush to the beach to catch the tide and jump into the sea to fish them out.
But just thinking about it, after all, shells containing pearls are not so easy to pick up. Luck plays a huge factor.
"If you sell it, sell it, but why are you buying a deserted island? Isn't that 10,000 yuan just a waste of money?" Xu Xiuyuan was worried for her niece.
According to her, if you have ten thousand yuan, what can you do? Renovating a building or contracting a fishing ground are more practical than building a deserted island.
Xu Suizhu reassured: "Believe me, my dear, even though our place is not very popular now, in a few years, it will definitely become a key area for government investment. By then, the land on the seaside will be developed one by one, and we will turn our attention to the island.
Well. Fuju Island is not far from the coast. It has few mountains and a lot of flat land, so it is very suitable for development. We can also make use of the sea area around the island. Sister-in-law, are you interested in cultivating pearl oysters with me? "
"Me? Me?" Wu Meili opened her eyes and pointed at herself.
Xu Suizhu smiled and nodded: "Yes, our sister-in-law cooperates to raise pearl oysters and sell pearls. Today, the domestic pearl market is far from saturated, but the trend of pearl jewelry has risen. I definitely can't take care of it by myself. Sister-in-law, would you like to come?
Help me? We will share the money earned by that time equally."
Wu Meili waved her hands excitedly, and her words were a bit incoherent: "Ping, it's too much to share equally, too much. I'll be satisfied if I can get a few yuan more salary than working in a rural factory."
Xu Suizhu couldn't help but laugh: "It's a given that the wages are higher than those in rural factories."
Several others were dumbfounded as they watched the sisters-in-law talk about the prospects of the pearl market, the division of labor in pearl farming, and the blueprint for the future. They really didn't know what to say.
Xu Xiuyuan suppressed her sour mood and said, "Suisui, although I'm not as old as you young people, I can still do it. I can do whatever job you give me."
Lin Guodong and his son choked at the same time.
At this time, shouldn’t we advise the sisters-in-law to stop talking about pearl farming and just engage in pearl farming? Why did the old woman get involved too?
Xu Suizhu smiled happily and said, "Auntie, do you also support me?"
Without waiting for her aunt to roll her eyes and retort, he pulled her over and talked about the island construction plan.
The S-shaped Fuju Island has a particularly long coastline.
Tourists like this kind of long coastline. Walking slowly against the sunset is particularly impressive.
In addition, there are two circular bay mouths, which are very suitable for building docks. When a typhoon comes, the ships are parked in the bay and cannot be blown away.
On the way back, Xu Suizhu was thinking about how to build an S-shaped island better?
It will take at least a few more years for it to become a popular tourist destination. Is it still idle now? The contracting fee of 1,600 yuan a year is like wasting money in vain, which is also quite painful.
Why not first use the small bay near the shore to cultivate pearls?
I have heard it said before that mother-of-pearl oysters like to live in inner bays with good water quality and low wind and waves. The area at the mouth of the small bay is quite suitable for farming. It is better to raise mother-of-pearl oysters.
