Chapter 129: Long-term planning
"We just walked in from the entrance of the orchard and saw that the lychee trees inside were well cared for, the branches that should be pruned were pruned, and the fertilization and soil cultivation were in place. This was all done by Lu Yao and Da Chun, right?" the boss asked.
"Big cousin, Brother Dachun is still a student at Nanyang University in Nanguang City, and he only went to the orchard for an internship after the winter vacation. During the time I gave birth, he helped Lu Yao take care of the four girls. The work in the orchard is all done by Lu Yao. A-Ying said.
"What? Lu Yao did it all alone?" the second child asked in surprise after taking a sip of hot tea, swallowing it, and opening his mouth wide in surprise.
"That's right, he did it. The day after you went home, I fired the two workers and never found the right workers. It was Ah Xin who found Ah Hua and asked him to help us recruit people, and it happened that Lu Yao had just come out of the house to look for a job, and Ah Hua introduced Lu Yao over. Some time ago, Lu Yao did more than three people in the orchard every day. A-Ying said.
"I really don't see it, I'm young, I look like a clothes pole, and I'm still a good worker. Do you also work as a farmer in your hometown?" the old man asked with a smile.
"I'm a farmer, and I've been working with my parents since I was a kid. Lu Yao replied with a smile.
"Well, you kid is a sincere person when he talks and does things. Not only will you be able to do farm work, but you will also be able to do household chores and take care of the children. I think these girls are closer to you than their father Ah Xin. Ah Hua, Ah Xin, and Ah Ying didn't misunderstand you! Since you are very good at working and educated, we will both listen to you when you work in the orchard in the future, and we will do whatever you say!" said the boss.
"My two cousins have more experience in planting lychee trees than I do, so we will discuss the work in the future. Yesterday, my eldest sister and I had already discussed, and the two cousins were mainly in charge of this lychee orchard. I was in charge of leveling the barren mountains opposite and planting longan trees. I wonder if the two cousins have any opinions?" Lu Yao asked with a smile.
"No comment! Both of us work, as long as we have work to do! Aha! After a day and a night in the car, we were a little sleepy. Let's go rest for a while, and when it's time to start work, we haven't woken up yet, so you can shout!" After the boss finished speaking, he stood up and walked into the room, and the second child also yawned and followed behind.
"Lu Yao, you see, these two guys are real people and they get along very well. You will work together in the future, and you will definitely cooperate well. You and Brother Dachun are also very tired these days, so you can also go in and rest, and have a holiday this afternoon. A-Ying said.
"Eldest sister, I can't rest, the positioning of the boundary on the opposite mountain must be completed this afternoon. Starting tomorrow, excavators and bulldozers will enter the site to level the land, and strive to level the land before the year. After the beginning of spring next year, when the rainy season arrives, the longan tree can be guaranteed to be planted. Lu Yao said.
"During the time you were working on the boundary positioning, the people from the street and the two village committees were very cooperative, right?" asked A-Ying.
"Special cooperation! You contracted those hundreds of acres of barren mountains and paid them rent on time every month, and they were very happy. When locating each boundary, it is basically necessary to leave more than 10 meters of space. In addition, some slopes and mountain beams are not counted, and all the detailed calculations will result in at least 100 acres of land. Lu Yao replied with a smile.
"Well, although this place is open, the citizens here, most of them are farmers and fishermen, and their lives are not very good. Of course, they are very happy to have a regular income every month. When you level the land, be sure to find a suitable location to build a shed. The foundation must be firmly laid, and the workers living in the shed must not be sloppy. A-Ying admonished.
"I'm trying to talk to you about this. These days, I've been looking for the best location to build a shed. Unhai City is surrounded by the sea on three sides and has an oceanic climate, with typhoons every year. The sheds are built in low-lying areas, with drainage problems and the threat of geological disasters such as mudslides. Built on high slopes and mountain beams without leeward, safety cannot be guaranteed in case of extreme weather.
I found a small col, facing due south, and the back of the mountain was very solid with several boulders intertwined with dogtooth. There are mountain beams to the east and west, which can block strong winds, and it is an excellent location to protect against typhoons. The col is right in the center of the entire orchard, which is also convenient for workers to quickly reach every corner of the orchard and improve work efficiency. ”
"As long as you see it, just do what you want, I have no opinion. A-Ying said.
"Also, I want to build a permanent two-story building there, with workers upstairs and warehouses downstairs. I wonder if the eldest sister agrees?" Lu Yao asked.
"I've thought about that too. When the shack we live in was first built, it was not considered well at first, but after the foundation was leveled, the shack was built directly with bamboo and asbestos tiles, and it was built in two days. The night before we were ready to move in, a typhoon uprooted the entire shack and blew it all to the bottom of the mountain. Later, Ah Hua led people up the mountain, re-laid the foundation, and poured down the ground ring beams and columns, so as to build the current solid shack. When I first rented the barren hill opposite, I thought about building a bungalow, but I didn't think about building a two-story building. A-Ying said.
"Eldest sister, the two mountains you contracted belong to forest land, and the contract period is seventy years. This lychee orchard has taken shape, so let's not talk about it for the time being. The mountain opposite has just started to be developed, and we should have a long-term plan, not one step at a time. In the later stage, it is urgently needed, and then re-planning and construction, which is not only time-consuming and delayed, but also costs more money. Lu Yao said.
"What you said makes a lot of sense, but I don't know if the neighborhood office and the village committee will allow us to build a permanent building on the mountain?" A-Ying hesitated.
"I've asked their leaders in charge of the location of the land about this, and they said that you will be given a lease for 70 years, and the purpose is to plant fruit trees, and there is no restriction on the construction of permanent buildings. The leader of a neighborhood office even joked that as long as we don't build houses on all the barren mountains of more than 400 acres, we can do whatever we want. At that time, I jokingly replied to him: We all built houses, and no one lived in them. Lu Yao said with a smile.
"Since there is no problem, let's do it according to your plan! In order to prevent trouble in the future, after the Chinese New Year, I will go to the street office to complete the relevant procedures. In the past few days, you have drawn the pictures, and I have asked Ah Hua to organize workers to enter the site to build buildings. A-Ying made a direct decision.
"I've already drawn the drawings, you wait a minute, I'll give it to you. After Lu Yao finished speaking, he stood up and ran into the room.
