[Chapter 139] is in full swing
After studying the planning and design sketches given by Liu Rui on the stone table for a while, Wu Mingkai didn't say much, jumped straight into the cab, and began to act.
The loud noise of the bulldozers emitting black smoke resounded through the mountains, startling a flock of birds, who circled over the pond and looked at the behemoth in amazement, chirping and chirping.
Villagers who have rarely seen a lot of excitement lately have gathered in the shade of Liu's grape trellises and the trees around the pond to point at the working bulldozers. For a quiet village like Liang Village, the wind and grass will attract people's attention, let alone this big guy?
Usually, the village is like a pool of stagnant water, and the appearance of the bulldozer is like a boulder, which makes the whole Liang Village a little restless. The villagers were talking about the bulldozer, and they were speculating about what the Liu family was going to raise by spending a lot of money to hire the bulldozer to renovate the mountain pond.
The villagers who were familiar with the Liu family were chatting with Liu Jiahong in the courtyard, wanting to inquire what was the purpose of such a big move?
However, the matter of renovating the mountain pond to raise tabby frogs has not yet been scratched, and Liu Jiahong naturally cannot say it. In the face of inquiries from relatives and friends, he could only follow the conventional statement, just want to renovate the mountain pond, raise some fish, and feed some water ducks.
Liu Jiahong's answer made the villagers feel pity, thinking that it was not cost-effective to spend a lot of money to renovate this mountain pond. In a place like Liangcun, even if there is a harvest for fish and ducks in the pond, it will lose money because of the low price, after all, it is close to the Xiaotong River and Xiaojing Lake, and the villagers have a more suitable place to raise ducks.
As for fish farming, people in Qingshan County rarely eat fish raised in captivity, after all, the residents of Qingshan, who are covered in water, prefer the fresher taste of river fish and lakes. Take Liang Village as an example, there is really no one who digs ponds to raise fish, because that would definitely be a loss.
However, now that the Liu family has started construction, even if the other villagers disagree with it in their hearts, they will not speak out against it, and they will disappoint the Liu family. As a result, the courtyard presented a scene of guests and hosts enjoying themselves, but it was also happy.
However, some villagers must have attributed the advocates of this matter to Liu Rui, after all, according to Liu Jiahong's cautious style of acting for decades, this kind of risky thing cannot be done by him.
Some villagers who have not been to Liu's house for a while are now sitting in the courtyard, but they find that the courtyard is a little different from usual. At this time, a large number of other osmanthus trees in the village will turn yellow and wither, showing the feeling of autumn. But in Liu's house, the two osmanthus trees are still luxuriant, and the scene is full of greenery, which is amazing.
On the bamboo fence in the front yard, morning glories climb wantonly, as if the bamboo fence is covered with a green coat, and the colorful flowers are waving in the wind, bringing people a wonderful feeling. Several hens and chicks were gouging under the courtyard wall, and a flower cat and a black dog were chasing each other, and the scene was very warm.
On one side of the courtyard is the vegetable garden that is the envy of all the villagers.
During this period of time, the Liu family's vegetable garden has continued to provide a large number of vegetables to 'South Beauty', which has become a legend of Liangcun's agricultural production! An income of two or three hundred yuan a day is considered a high income no matter where it is placed, let alone a vegetable garden with a low cost?
Stimulated by the Liu family, many villagers in Liang Village also planted vegetables on the sandy land by the lake and sold them to restaurants in the city, which also opened up a new way to get rich. In the past two months, some villagers have tasted the sweetness one after another, making the profession of growing vegetables more and more popular in Liang Village.
However, when you come to Liu's house, no matter who you are, it is impossible to ignore the vegetable garden that has been deified.
Among the villagers chatting with Liu Jiahong, there is Sun Laoliu, who has been friends with Wang Huaqiang and Liu Jiahong since he was a child, and it is normal for him to come up and visit the door.
After Sun Lao Liu had just broken down and sold the horses that died in the morning at the market, he was idle and bored, and he followed the other villagers up the mountain. The optimistic Sun Lao Liu is chubby and always has a smile on his face, like Maitreya Buddha.
He was not the sixth in the family, but because he had six fingers on his left hand, hence the name.
Although he died violently and lost hundreds of dollars, he was not sad and still smiled. It was Liu Jiahong who asked about the horse with concern, but he still didn't hide it, and told Liu Jiahong about it.
"Brother Liu, is that a wild [***]?" Sun Lao Liu sat on a chair and looked at a few colorful half-grown chicken cubs walking by.
"Hehe, the last time I opened the vegetable garden, the little girl picked up a few wild eggs, but I didn't expect to be able to feed them." Seeing the other party's surprised look, Liu Jiahong was a little proud.
"They didn't run?" Looking at the pheasant as tame as a chicken, Sun Lao Liu was very surprised.
But the pheasant was a timid and cautious wild creature, and would escape into the depths of the forest at the slightest hint of the wind. Now the Liu family is actually able to carry out artificial breeding, which is greatly beyond his expectations.
"Well, that's good!" Sun Lao Liu nodded, and soon his eyes were attracted by the yellow-throated marten that jumped from the pheasant, and exclaimed: "Yellow-throated marten?!" ”
Animals like the yellow-throated marten are very cautious because of their surnames, and they basically don't appear in front of people, if it weren't for the fact that Sun Lao Liu had set one before, he really couldn't recognize the appearance of the yellow-throated marten. Now when I see the yellow-throated mink appear in the public at first glance, how can I not surprise Sun Laoliu? As a mountain man, Sun Lao Liu naturally knows that the yellow-throated marten is a carnivorous animal, and if he raises it at home, will the chickens and ducks in the family be harmed, right?
"Last time, the eldest son followed the scientists of the research institute into the mountain, and this guy followed him into the house, and he couldn't drive away!" When it comes to the yellow-throated marten, an expert in rat catching, Liu Jiahong's eyes narrowed into a line with a smile.
Since the yellow-throated marten entered the house, the rat infestation that had caused Liu Jiahong a headache seemed to disappear overnight, how could this not make Liu Jiahong happy? In previous years, in order to curb the rampant rats, Liu Jiahong tried all kinds of methods, such as rat traps, rat poison, etc., but the effect was not great.
It even happened that the cats and dogs at home died because of eating rat poison by mistake.
However, all this changed dramatically after the yellow-throated marten entered the house, and the Liu family could no longer hear the sound of rats reveling, and they no longer had to worry about the scourge of the grain and lees that made wine. Because of this, the Liu family slept much more peacefully at night.
"If you have such a wild thing at home, it won't harm chickens and ducks, right?" Looking at Liu Jiahong's indifferent expression, Sun Lao Liu kindly reminded.
"It's okay, Rhubarb is very well-behaved, not only will it not harm chickens and ducks, but he is an expert rat catcher!" Thinking of the benefits of the yellow-throated marten, Liu Jiahong even said its flower name.
"And such a thing?!" Curious, Sun Lao Liu and the surrounding villagers asked one after another.
At this time, Liu Jiahong began to tell the people around him about the yellow-throated marten with a little pride, and when he said that because of the yellow-throated marten, the rats in the house were almost extinct, and the smile on his face was like a blooming chrysanthemum.
When they heard that the yellow-throated marten was so cute and well-behaved, how could they not be surprised when they knew the yellow-throated marten's surname, huh? There was a hint of surprise in the eyes that looked at the yellow-throated marten.
However, the yellow-throated marten is also a pampered guy, even if he stares at himself with so many hot eyes, he is still calm and very star-like. However, it is not excluded that it is a guy who does not understand the amorous feelings, and does not understand the consciousness of the eyes of the villagers.
The villagers were amazed by all kinds of novelties in the yard, and they communicated with Liu Jiahong one after another, wanting to learn something new from them. After all, since this period of time, the Liu family has faintly become the leader of Liangcun to get rich, and the villagers naturally have the intention of learning.
Just when Liu Jiahong was busy communicating with the villagers, Zhang Guizhi poured tea for the villagers and took out all kinds of snacks to entertain the guests, Liu Rui was supervising the work under the sun.
In order to allow Wu Mingkai's construction to be carried out according to his own requirements, Liu Rui has been standing on the shore and staring, taking out the drawings he drew from time to time, and then reminding Wu Mingkai to be careful about the construction. It's not that Liu Rui can't rest assured of Wu Mingkai, it's just that he wants to make the transformation of the mountain pond more perfect.
After all, after the tabby frog breeding in the future, it will be an important source of income for the Liu family, and it is not allowed to be sloppy at all.
Watching the mountain pond gradually change under the huge power drive of the bulldozer, Liu Rui wanted to say that it was false if he was not excited.
Since he can remember, this mountain pond has accompanied Liu Rui every step of his growth, and of course, when he was a child, he was always restricted from approaching it. Hardly a year or two later, the pond was flooded and the banks were washed away, sometimes several times a year. Because the input and the harvest are not proportional, Liu Jiahong has been too lazy to carry out large-scale renovation of the mountain pond, but just fill in the embankment that has been washed away by the flash flood every year.
After all, a large bulldozer costs tens or hundreds of dollars an hour, and it costs thousands of dollars to hire it for two or three days, and not everyone is willing to give up this large amount of money. Now that Liu Rui is in charge of the family, coupled with the project of raising tabby frogs, Liu Rui naturally has enough reasons to make corresponding changes to the mountain pond.
Seeing that Shantang was changing step by step towards the idea in his heart, Liu Rui felt a sense of satisfaction. For Liu Rui, after deciding to farm at home, every time he does something, watching his family change step by step, the sense of accomplishment is something that he can't experience when he is studying.
When I was studying, my thoughts were very simple, I studied hard, and I was considered a success if I got my grades, and simplicity and happiness were the main themes of my student days!
However, starting a business from home requires all aspects to consider!
However, although it is a little hard to start a business at home, whenever he sees everything in his family change under the impetus of his own efforts, and moves forward step by step on the road of a happy life, Liu Rui feels the value of his existence.
