Chapter 358 What to plant?



Chapter 358 What to plant?

Gu Yizhou took out a wad of money from his pocket and stuffed it into Lin Qingyan's hand.

"If the money is not enough, I will go back to my grandfather. I still have some money with him. I usually keep it at home."

Lin Qingyan looked at the money in her hand and smiled:

"No, the money you deposited with me last time has not been used yet. This time I have enough money of my own to purchase goods, so I did not use yours.

Next time when I do other business, I will include your money in the capital and give you a share of the profits. You can keep the money yourself.

Aren’t you going to school in a few days? You don’t get paid for school, and you need money for your daily living expenses.”

Lin Qingyan stuffed the money into Gu Yizhou's hand. Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Gu Yizhou held it tightly. He held Lin Qingyan's hand with one hand, and put the money in her palm with the other hand, and then put her fingers together.

“I don’t need any money to go to school, I don’t need any money to stay in school, and I don’t need any money for food or drinks.

Besides, I am going to school, not to stop working. I will still get paid as usual, so I won't be short of money. Please save this money for me."

Lin Qingyan looked at the two clasped hands, secretly glanced at Liu Huizhen, and when she saw that they were not looking in her direction, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Gu Yizhou:

"You treat me as a bank deposit?"

Gu Yizhou also kept an eye on Liu Huizhen. He needed to improve her favorability and could not act recklessly before Liu Huizhen was satisfied.

"The interest rate of money deposited with you is much higher than that of money deposited in a bank. I believe in you. Money can be put to the best use only if it is with you.

I have the money, I just need to go home and find a place to put it and let it gather dust there."

"Okay, then I'll keep your money for you, and how about you take this piece of land as a share?

From now on, apart from eating what we grow on this land, if we sell it, you will get a share of the profits.”

Lin Qingyan directly registered this piece of land in the name of Gu Yizhou. She understood why Grandpa Gu gave her the land for planting. It was all for Gu Yizhou's sake. As for Grandpa Gu, she would send the vegetables to him after they grew up.

If Grandpa Gu is willing, she can supply him with all the vegetables he eats in the future. She believes that eating the vegetables and fruits she grows for a long time will bring extraordinary benefits.

Lin Qingxuan followed Liu Huizhen and also looked at the land in front of him, but he had no knowledge of land and he didn't know how to farm.

He felt a little bored as he watched, and when he turned around he seemed to see Gu Yizhou holding his sister's hand.

Lin Qingxuan frowned and wanted to take a closer look, then he saw his sister looking at him, and the scene of holding hands he just saw seemed like an illusion.

Liu Huizhen brought Ye Yi and the others, followed Village Chief Zhao to the edge of the mountain, looked at the surrounding not very high mountains, and then looked at the land in front of them.

Even someone like her who had little experience in farming thought that the location of this field was very good, but she was not sure about the fertility of the land.

However, if Lin Qingyan follows her previous plan and only plants fruit trees and vegetables, the soil fertility requirements are not very high.

Village Chief Zhao didn't have many feelings about this piece of land except for some regrets. After all, their village was nearby and the scenery there was not much different from here.

What's more, this was a wasteland before. The villagers had preconceived impressions and didn't think this land was very good. Good land had long been turned into fertile fields. How could they allow wasteland to exist? There is a reason for the existence of wasteland.

After talking to Liu Huizhen for a few words, Village Chief Zhao slowly let go of his unhappiness and asked Liu Huizhen:

"What are you going to plant on this land?"

"Brother, to be honest with you, although my daughter is a college student at Beijing University, she is also a good farmer. She once took the lead in building plastic greenhouses in the villages she supported, so that we can eat fresh vegetables in the winter in the north.

The most important thing is that the vegetables grown by my daughter are different from others and are especially delicious. Our yard is full of vegetables and fruits grown by her. After our relatives and friends have eaten them, they want to take some back home.

Brother, you know that the yards in the city are nothing compared to those in the countryside. The yards are very small and you can't grow many vegetables.

Even if we grow some, it is not enough for our family to eat, let alone give away. There is an elder in the family who helped us find a piece of land, and we will mainly grow vegetables and fruits on this land in the future.”

While Liu Huizhen was giving a detailed introduction, she looked around and finally found a jujube tree. She pointed to a tree in front of her and said to Lin Qingxuan:

"Qingxuan, there's a jujube tree over there. Go pick some and see if you can eat them."

Village Chief Zhao also looked in the direction of Liu Huizhen's finger and said with emotion:

"These dates are so sweet. You came at the right time. If you had come a few days later, these dates would have been picked by the naughty kids in the village."

He hesitated for a moment and continued to say to Liu Huizhen: "Big sister, there is something I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Brother Zhao, we will be farming here in the future, and we may come to the village to bother you often. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. We will try to solve any problems in advance."

Liu Huizhen knew that a strong dragon could not defeat a local snake. Since they would come here often in the future, they must establish good relations with the villagers.

"Big sister, if you really want to grow vegetables and fruits here in the future, it's best to find someone to watch over it for a long time. Vegetables are better, and every household will grow some.

Children all know that vegetables cannot be eaten if they are not cooked thoroughly, so they usually do not harm them.

But it’s different if you grow fruits. There are some things that children rarely get to eat, and children are more naughty and may come over and cause trouble when adults are not paying attention.

So sister, I suggest you arrange someone to watch over the child to prevent him from being naughty and doing something bad that would hurt the harmony."

What Village Chief Zhao said was sincere. There are always some naughty children in every village. There are reasonable people, and naturally there are unreasonable people.

"Thank you, brother! If you hadn't reminded them, the children would definitely not have remembered it. If something really happened, it would also affect our relationship.

These kids have become stupid from studying, and don’t really understand the ways of the world. Often, they like to go directly to the police for trivial matters.

But they don’t understand that some things can be avoided in advance, and some things cannot be solved by the police.”

Liu Huizhen's face was full of smiles. While she was talking to the village chief of Zhaojia Village with a smile, she was also directing Lin Qingxuan to pick dates.

"Don't worry, brother. I will explain the truth to the children in advance and will never let them misunderstand their fellow villagers."

The head of Zhaojia Village looked at Liu Huizhen and always felt that what she had just said had other meanings, but when he saw her smiling face, he felt that he was overthinking.

Village Chief Zhao showed them the land and left. When he was about to reach the village, he still felt that there was something wrong with what Liu Huizhen had just said.
