Chen Xiao returned home and had a simple meal. In the afternoon, he borrowed a car from Fatty. Fatty knew that he wanted to be a big boss and insisted that Chen Xiao treat him to a meal and fill up the gas. Chen Xiao agreed before throwing the key to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at Fatty. She greeted him and drove in the direction of Taoyuan Village.
Although it wasn't the real Taoyuan Village, the reason why Taoyuan Village let Chen Xiao choose was because the economy of Taoyuan Village was relatively underdeveloped. There were very few people engaged in trade, and they were basically simple farmers.
However, the potholes along the way made Chen Xiao a little depressed. There was almost no flat road along the way. The car kept shaking like a rock player. Fortunately, Chen Xiao's physical fitness was not something that ordinary people could compare to. In the end, she persevered.
Taoyuan Village was located in a remote area. On both sides of the road, there were farmers wearing hats and plowing the land. Chen Xiao calculated the time. He had probably been running for three hours from noon until now. He was a little tired after being bumpy for so long.
Finally, Chen Xiao's car stopped at the edge of Taoyuan Village. The northeast direction was blue, and the sea and sky met. The sparkling sea water felt so gentle, and the waves that sounded from time to time seemed to welcome Chen Xiao's arrival.
Although the transportation was not developed, the buildings in the village did not seem very old. The attic stood tall and the trees were shady. Chen Xiao stood outside the village and felt as if she was really in a paradise.
"Chen Xiao?"
A woman's voice called out uncertainly. Chen Xiao turned around and realized that the person who called her was Fatty's ex-girlfriend, Li Xiaojuan. Li Xiaojuan was also quite surprised to see Chen Xiao. She did not expect to see her here.
"Hey, Xiaojuan, why are you here?”Chen Xiao asked.
"This is my house." Li Xiaojuan smiled and pointed at the two-story building in front of her."I live there. Why are you here?”
"Oh, I want to look for the village secretary. I want to rent a few pieces of land to make a fish pond. I saw on the Internet that you have a suitable place to raise fish.”No wonder Li Xiaojuan was also very delicate and pretty. It was indeed true that the water and soil of a place nurtured a person of a place.
"You want to raise fish? Not bad." Li Xiaojuan nodded. When she saw Chen Xiao's car, a hint of sadness flashed across her eyes.
Chen Xiao did not deliberately mention Fatty when she saw this, but Li Xiaojuan definitely recognized this car. When she saw this car, she would inevitably think of someone and the past. Seeing Chen Xiao looking at her, Li Xiaojuan came back to her senses and smiled at Chen Xiao."Then I'll bring you there."
"En, alright."
After parking the car, she followed Li Xiaojuan forward. Chen Xiao also noticed that Li Xiaojuan seemed to be taking her in the direction of her house. Li Xiaojuan seemed to have sensed Chen Xiao's puzzled gaze. She smiled and said,"The village secretary is my father."
He saw the village secretary. He was over 50 years old and looked quite old. When he heard that Chen Xiao was going to rent land to build a fish pond, he immediately became much more energetic. He warmly invited Chen Xiao to sit down and asked Li Xiaojuan to get some water for Chen Xiao.
Li Xiaojuan's father was called Li Laifu. He was also an honest person. After chatting with Chen Xiao for a while, he roughly understood what Chen Xiao meant, so he led Chen Xiao outside to take a look. In any case, most of the people in the countryside had gone out to work. There were no more people staying at home to farm. Some of the land had even been abandoned.
Li Laifu kept introducing these plots of land to Chen Xiao. Which plot of land was most suitable for what to do, which plot of land was closest to the water source, and which plot of land had the best scenery. It had to be said that Chen Xiao really liked this place. One had to know that this place was simply like a paradise.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had something to do, he might have lived here alone, raised fish, planted flowers, chased a group of ducks around the courtyard all day, and occasionally brought a few naked children to play together.
The ideal life could not be realized, and Chen Xiao could only take it step by step. Only by making himself strong enough to protect himself and his family could he be qualified to enjoy life. Now, he could only be raped by life.
"Xiao Chen, look over here. I think this land is the most suitable for you to raise fish. There's a small mountain over there. The water on the mountain is very good, but you have to find an expert to check the water quality.”
Li Laifu introduced the land to Chen Xiao while imparting his experience in raising fish to her. Chen Xiao stood at the side and nodded with a smile. Only Li Xiaojuan kept her head lowered and did not speak, as if she was recalling something.
In the end, Chen Xiao chose the last piece of land. According to Li Laifu, the water quality on the mountain was good and suitable for raising fish. However, the reason Chen Xiao chose this place was because this piece of land was big enough and not far from the sea. Such a place was simply the best place.
"Xiao Chen, you don't need such a big place to raise fish, right?”Li Laifu asked in surprise.
"Uncle Li, I'm planning to build a house here in the future when I have the conditions. This place is really like a paradise. In the future, I'm going to bring my wife and... uh, my cousins and the others over to play.”
Thinking of the NPCs that might be stolen in the future, Chen Xiao added their identities. Hearing Chen Xiao's words, Li Laifu smiled and nodded.""Sigh, if it weren't for the bad traffic here, I'm afraid things would have changed here. However, the villagers don't allow us to sell our land. They all want to live like this.”
After a few more words with Li Laifu, the two of them finally finalized the contract. Although it was called a contract, it was just a piece of paper. She followed Li Laifu home. Li Laifu wrote down the lease agreement clearly on a regular draft paper and finally stamped it with a big red seal.
Building a fish pond definitely required people to manage it. In this place, he was afraid that only those old people could be found to guard it. This way, it could also increase their income. The shipment required manpower, and the village also had surplus labor. Li Laifu thought that this was a win-win solution.
Chen Xiao had only planned to come and take a look, so she did not bring enough money. Li Laifu also waved his hand after hearing this, telling Chen Xiao to bring it next time.
"Xiao Chen, why don't you stay here for dinner tonight?”Li Laifu greeted her warmly. Without waiting for Chen Xiao to reply, he told the dazed Li Xiaojuan to quickly go outside and catch a chicken to kill and make some side dishes.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao hurriedly waved her hand and said with a smile,""Uncle Li, there's still a long way to go. I still have something to do when I go back. I need to find someone to fix the fish pond. Next time, the next time I come to visit, even if you don't want me, I will be thick-skinned enough to stay.”
Seeing that Chen Xiao insisted on leaving, Li Laifu did not force himself to nod and let Li Xiaojuan send Chen Xiao out. The two of them did not speak along the way. When Chen Xiao walked into the car, Li Xiaojuan touched the car and said softly,"Is Wang Shuo alright?"
"En, it's alright." Chen Xiao nodded. Even though he did not know why the two of them broke up, he knew that there must be another reason when he saw that they were both very sad. However, he would not ask if Fatty did not say it because he knew that there would be no result even if he asked.
As for Li Xiaojuan, Chen Xiao also shook her head. The two of them had the same temper. No wonder they could get together. However, when she saw the two people who used to love each other separate, she also felt that the world was changing.
Li Xiaojuan did not say anything else. She took two steps back and waved at Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao also waved her hand and drove away.
