Along the way, Huang Dong 'er was bored. She couldn't help but think of the gifts Liu Xiu had given her. She remembered that the cucumbers and tomatoes had been washed clean. Thinking of the alluring appearance of the tomatoes, she took one out of the bag and smelled it. It had a sweet fragrance. She carefully took a bite, and a sweet syrup flowed into her mouth. It was sweet with a hint of sourness, making the sweetness unique and not greasy at all.
"Stingy!" Three tomatoes and two cucumbers went into his stomach. He did it completely unconsciously. When he finished eating, he went to get another one. When he found that there was nothing left, he could not help but purse his lips and complain.
"To be able to grow colorful roses and have such delicious tomatoes and cucumbers, who exactly is this guy?”The alluring appetite slowly faded away. Huang Dong 'er finally realized something. There was no such thing as an absolute coincidence in this world. She decided to go to Shiqiao Village more often in the future when she had nothing to do. Even the cucumbers and tomatoes were worth her time.
Liu Xiu did not expect that he had already been targeted. Instead, he was thinking about his future path. He had to continue planting flowers. The mushrooms were continuous. With the dew watering them, there would not be any problems. He could not just wait. He had to do something. After thinking about it, he decided to plant trees and peach trees.
Liu Xiu couldn't help but drool as he imagined the peaches he had grown. He smacked his lips and swallowed hard. After checking the places in Changhe County that sold peach tree seedlings, Liu Xiu set off. Ignoring his professional knowledge, just the Water Spirit Pearl alone was enough to tell whether a peach tree was good or bad. The merchants definitely wouldn't lie to him.
The next afternoon, peach tree saplings worth 60,000 yuan entered Shiqiao Village. Under the collective mobilization of the village, these saplings were transported to the field before dark. As for planting, that was tomorrow's matter. Liu Xiu had no intention of working overnight.
"Boss Liu, it's time to repair the roads in your village.”While transporting the saplings, the person in charge of delivering the saplings painfully pointed out a problem. The truck that they used to deliver the saplings was parked at the distant village entrance. The saplings could enter the village by relying on human-powered tricycles and carriages. These primitive tools played a huge role at this time.
"Road repair? Why do we need to repair roads? This is quite good.”Liu Xiu's answer stunned the workers who were delivering the saplings. The villagers of Shi Qiao Village chuckled. To outsiders, Liu Xiu's idea of not repairing the road was definitely unrealistic. To the villagers, this road had been like this for decades or centuries. Whether it was repaired or not did not affect them. However, no one knew that Liu Xiu had already had a huge plan in his heart. However, this plan was too grand and was not something that he could realize now.
"Xiu-Er, are you planning to build a paradise?”The next day's planting of trees was the village's general mobilization again. Fortunately, they were all saplings and did not require too much labor. Otherwise, it would definitely not be possible to rely on the existing staff of Shiqiao Village.
"Shangri-La. You're underestimating me too much. I want to build our Shiqiao Village into a paradise on earth. I want those with power and money to look at our Shiqiao Village. If they want to live in our village, they have to pay 10,000 dollars a day without discounts.”Liu Xiu's current thoughts were just a joke. No one could have predicted that such a day would really come.
Amidst the hearty laughter, the old and young were busy. The countryside was not like the city. Even the elderly in their sixties or seventies had to work in the fields. There was no such thing as retirement. A small matter like planting trees was nothing to the old and young of Shiqiao Village. A peach forest was formed between laughter and laughter.
The money had been spent and the trees planted. Liu Xiu felt a little more at ease. Standing on the mountain, he seemed to see the future. When the peach blossoms were in full bloom, beautiful girls would laugh and dance under the peach blossoms. Would the flowers be more beautiful or would the people be more beautiful?
"Slurp!" Liu Xiu sucked his saliva and felt that his thoughts were biased and a little evil. It was enough to think about flowers and people. Why was he thinking about things that were not suitable for children?
As he released the Dew Spell and looked at the endless peach tree saplings, Liu Xiu suddenly realized a problem. This land didn't seem to belong to him. Although it was owned by the village collective, he couldn't just occupy it quietly. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a problem. Regardless of whether the villagers had any objections, Liu Xiu felt that there had to be an explanation for this matter. He wanted to lead Shiqiao Village to prosperity, not to monopolize the assets of Shiqiao Village. It was a matter of whether he could be poor or not. He would not allow it to happen to him.
"I gathered everyone here today because I have something to tell everyone.”After dinner, Liu Xiu gathered the villagers together. Under the big tree, the people sat neatly on small stools.
Liu Xiu said loudly," The 60 acres of land where the peach trees are planted belongs to everyone. It belongs to Shiqiao Village. I can't just quietly take it for myself."”
"Xiu-Er, no one has been planting on that barren hill for many years. You can use it. We have no objections.”Li Wangcai blew out a smoke ring and said with a smile.
"That's right. Xiu 'Er, you can save grass by planting trees. At most, when the peaches are ripe, you can give us a few catties of peaches.”The large woman added, and the others responded one after another. Everyone did not take that bit of land seriously at all.
"This won't do. Everyone, quiet down and listen to me first. I've thought of two ways to get that piece of land. One is to treat it as me and the village renting it. The other way is for everyone to invest in the land. From now on, 30% of the Taoyuan Village will be owned. This way, I won't have to worry about anyone stealing my peaches in the middle of the night.”Liu Xiu's joke made everyone laugh. In such a mountain village, there was no such thing as " stealing." Even if the door was open, no one would take a needle from you.
Everyone looked at Liu Changnian, waiting for him to make a decision. The old man smoked his pipe as if he was thinking about Liu Xiu's question. He slowly raised his head, knocked on his pipe, and asked,"Xiu-Er, tell me, how are we going to distribute the bags?”
"If you want to contract, I plan to contract it at 3000 yuan per mu per year for a period of 100 years."If it's based on dividends, when the peaches bear fruit, I'll get 70 yuan and the village gets 30 yuan. Grandpa Liu, please make up your mind. Don't say that the land is free for me to use. Otherwise, I won't be at ease.”Liu Xiu said seriously.
"I think so. Your child won't be able to pay for a few years. Because of the soil quality, the peaches and fruits grown in that mountainous area don't taste good. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been left idle there.”Old Master Liu made his decision and looked at Liu Xiu with a little regret. He felt that this child had good intentions and that a lot of money would probably go down the drain. However, since things had come to this, he could not say anything else. It was not a bad thing for a young man to suffer a little.
Other than Liu Xiu, no one else would have expected that Old Master Liu's extremely friendly and loving decision would bring the entire Shiqiao Village. How could Liu Xiu not understand Old Master Liu's intentions? His heart was filled with gratitude. He could only repay this favor slowly.
"Alright! I'll be drawing up a contract in the next two days. There's one more thing. Everyone has seen the flowers that my family planted some time ago. Those flowers are very valuable. I want to take out a piece of land to plant flowers. The method is still 30 - 70.”Liu Xiu's plan couldn't be done on a small scale. He had to speed up the accumulation bit by bit.
"You can do whatever you want as long as you don't touch the crops.”Old Master Liu had also seen the flowers in Liu Xiu's yard. He thought they were very beautiful, but he really had no idea how much they were worth. Anyway, there were many wasteland and slopes in the village, so he was not afraid of Liu Xiu's trouble.
Liu Xiu heaved a sigh of relief. When a large batch of five-colored roses went on the market, everyone would see the money and pay attention to his policies. This way, whatever he did in the future would be much smoother. However, he did not expect that the second batch of five-colored roses would mature so quickly. There was only a week before the first batch, and there were still more than 200 roses.
Huang Dong 'er went to Shiqiao Village once again. She entered Liu Xiu's house and ignored her colorful roses. She went straight into Liu Xiu's vegetable field and picked vegetables with a basket. She filled the basket with cucumbers and tomatoes before stopping. When she saw the rest, her eyes were filled with unwillingness, which shocked Liu Xiu.
"Beauty, leave some for me." Liu Xiu said with a bitter smile.
"Those will be cooked again tomorrow. It's not easy for me to come here. I have to pick enough for a week.”Huang Dong 'er's reasonable words made Liu Xiu speechless. It was definitely unwise to reason with a woman. He didn't say anything else.
This time, Liu Xiu didn't sell all the Five-Colored Roses. He resisted Huang Dong 'er's resentful gaze and kept a dozen of them. He wanted to see if the seeds of the Five-Colored Rose could grow Five-Colored Roses.
The maturity period of the five-colored roses was very stable. In a week, the new branches would definitely bloom. This also led to Liu Xiu's income being calculated in weeks instead of three months. One month's income was equivalent to his previous calculation of a year's income.
Every week, Huang Dong 'er would definitely follow the truck that transported the colorful roses. Her goal was not to protect her colorful roses, but to clean up Liu Xiu's vegetable garden. Liu Xiu could only pretend that she did not see it. At first, the girl only picked cucumbers and tomatoes, but slowly, she did not let go of eggplants, beans, and peppers. The basket changed from one to two, making Liu Xiu feel like he was losing money.
