17. The old locust tree at the entrance of the village

85_85374Taoyuan Village has many mountains, and there are big mountains one after another behind the village. The highest is Daqing Mountain, all of which are deep mountains and old forests, tall trees, except for hunters, others dare not go in, at most they pick some mushrooms or something at the foot of the mountain.

As for Xiaoqingshan, it is behind the Lin family, a small hill that is not very high, and there are some low miscellaneous trees and thatch, and there are even very few mushrooms, and the people in the village basically do not go. In the early years, when the village was divided into mountains, it happened to be distributed to Lin Siquan's family.

That being said, if you want to do something with this mountain, you still need to go to the village committee to go through the procedures and pay some contract fees, so that the procedures are regular and you can use it with confidence.

What's more, Lin Siquan is also ready to use this mountain to do a big job, and it is best to contract for decades and have a long-term plan, so it is still necessary to have formal contracting procedures, otherwise, when she develops it in the future, if she is picked a peach, then it will be too late for her to regret it.

As for money, it's the last thing she has to worry about right now. When she first founded the hotel, she and Ning Shihuan's shares were half of one person, and when they broke up, she hired a lawyer, sold the half of the shares, and got 8 million.

Ning Shihuan gave her all this money, and she didn't lose a penny.

She is not a poor and generous fool, she has no feelings, at least she has to grab the money.

Now, with the 8 million in her hand, she can boldly do something in her hometown.

Lin Jianshe and Liu Chunyan didn't ask her how much money she had, in their opinion, what her daughter earned must be kept for her as a dowry in the future. Siquan's words just now can be regarded as convincing them, the child is older, since she has an idea, let her break through, anyway, with them, there will always be a mouthful of food for her daughter.

After the family discussed, Lin Siquan was also relieved, and she didn't stay at home in the afternoon, and followed Lin Jianshe to walk around the small green mountains behind, and first visited the field.

After the transfer, she became more confident in her plan, and Xiaoqingshan was definitely suitable for her to contract and start a business.

It's just that, roughly calculated, how can this mountain have to be more than 1,000 acres, and how much is this contracting fee? She had already started planning in her heart.

In the evening, after dinner, she went out for a walk with her brother and walked around the village.

Ten years away from home, Taoyuan Village is no longer the small mountain village in memory.

There are more small two- and three-story buildings in the village, and the roads have become wider, but there are many fewer people in the village. I remember that in the past, in the evening, everyone liked to gather under the big locust tree at the head of the village, chatting while eating, and this was the most lively place in the whole village.

But now, Lin Siquan is standing under the big locust tree, and he can no longer find the previous grand occasion.

It was when the people in the village were having dinner, and there was no one under the tree, even the big locust tree, which was withered and had not yet sprouted.

Lin Siquan touched the rough trunk of the big locust tree and asked strangely, "Brother, it's spring now, why hasn't the big locust tree sprouted yet?" ”

Lin Siyuan had a very regretful expression: "I was killed by thunder." Last winter, there was a thunderstorm for a few days, the thunder and thunder, just a big thunder hit the old locust tree, it caught fire at that time, fortunately it rained immediately, the fire did not burn, but the old locust tree was broken on the top, the children in the village climbed up to see it, said that the top was all scorched, and now it has not sprouted, it must be dead. ”

"It's a shame." This old locust tree has been growing at the entrance of the village, with a history of hundreds of years, and the trunk is thick enough for a person to hug it.

"yes, that's a pity."

The two were talking, and someone happened to pass by, Lin Siyuan greeted him and talked to someone, but Lin Siquan refused to give up, circled around the old locust tree a few times, squatted at the foot of the tree, took out the small knife on the key chain, and made a cut on the tree, and after a while, a faint juice flowed out.

The tree is not dead, it should be saved.

Lin Siquan quietly glanced back, her brother was far away, chatting with people, she didn't pay attention to this side at all, she immediately turned her back to them, quietly dug a small pit at the root of the tree, put her left hand there, from her fingertips, a clear spring gushed out, immediately filled the small pit, and quickly penetrated down......

After a while, she estimated that it was almost enough, and then stopped releasing the water, and then carefully filled in the small hole she had dug.

Fortunately, it was dark, only the dim lights in the distance, and no one noticed the small movements she made.

Okay, I'll wait tomorrow to see the effect, but she is not worried at all, her spring water, but it has a miraculous effect on plants, just a half-dead old locust tree, it will definitely be able to save life.

After finishing her work, she stood up, patted the dirt on her hands, and then walked over to her brother.

Lin Siyuan greeted her: "Little sister, come and say hello to the village chief." ”

Village Chief Lin Changju also called her: "It's Siquan, I heard that you came back in the afternoon, but I didn't expect to run into you when you came out." ”

He is an old man in the village, in his 70s, and has been the village chief for decades, fair and upright, Lin Siquan still has an impression of him.

"Master Changju, have you finished eating? I just came back today, and I talked to my parents, and said that I would go to your house tomorrow. ”

"Come on, your grandmother must be happy, now that the young people in the village have gone out, we old guys are left in the village." Lin Changju was a little sad when he said it.

"Have all the young people in the village gone out to work?"

"Yes, now they can't make money from farming, they all go out, do a mason or carpentry outside, 200 yuan a year, and they can save tens of thousands of yuan a year, which is better than farming at home."

In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer people farming in the village, and many fields have been abandoned.

But times are changing, and he can't stop the people in the village from going out to make money.

"Okay, don't talk about this, it's good for you to come back, although your parents haven't said it in the past few years, but they are also thinking about you in their hearts, and you will have to honor them when you come back in the future."

Lin Siquan nodded in response: "Of course, I won't go out when I come back this time, and I'll stay with them at home." ”

Liu Changju, who said this, nodded.

When the old man is old, his children are by his side, which is the greatest blessing. Like his two sons, they are old and still working outside, so they can only come back once during the Chinese New Year.

This topic was a little sad to talk about, Lin Changju didn't mention it anymore, he pointed to the old locust tree and asked, "What were you looking at there just now?" ”

Lin Siquan said about his discovery: "My brother said that the old locust tree was killed by lightning, I just cut some roots to see, there is still sap in it, this tree is still alive." ”

"It's not dead, but it's also a big injury, it's estimated that it can't be recovered, you see that other trees have already sprouted, and he hasn't moved yet."

"It's a shame."

"Yes, this tree has been growing for hundreds of years, and he was there when I was a child." Lin Changju looked at the old locust tree, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "Wait another month, if he can't survive, he will have to be cut down, otherwise it will be unlucky to stand at the entrance of the village, and it may fall down and hit people." ”

Lin Siquan hurriedly said: "Master Changju, wait a little longer, maybe this tree can come back to life, he has grown for hundreds of years, how difficult it is, I will go and bring some water in a while, water him some water, let him sprout early." ”

Lin Changju nodded again and again after hearing this, praising her for having a heart.

Just do it, Lin Siquan didn't hesitate, immediately went home and got a bucket, carried two buckets of water and poured it at the foot of the old locust tree, and for the sake of safety, she quietly put a little water in it.

Who knew that early the next morning, something big would happen in the village
