Chapter 833: Clearing the Wasteland
Because Lin Xuan rarely wanted to rest for a few days, I approved his leave and let him relax with Qiao An for a few more days, while I myself began to get busy.
The hottest season was about to pass, and I found a big problem, that is, the water and soil on this island are not suitable for growing crops, but I often have to drive cargo ships to the city to transport, not to mention the time and waste of manpower and material resources, I have to find a way to solve it.
So, in the afternoon. I decided to take Sister Rong and go to the nearby island to see if there was any soil suitable for crops. If there were, it would be better if some people could do the farming, so that we would be self-sufficient, we could eat fresh vegetables, we could save material resources, and the rest of the idle labor could also come in handy.
When I went out, I told Sister Rong to bring enough water, maybe it would take a longer time, and some of those islands were desert islands, undeveloped, and there was no water source that could be cited.
As soon as Xue Ran and Dugua heard that we were going to investigate on other islands, they were arguing to follow, and I couldn't screw them, so I brought them with me, and by the way, let them bring their guys, so as not to have wild beasts on this island, it is also possible.
After Sister Rong prepared the things, she handed over the child to Ma Jiao, asked Ma Jiao to help her take care of it for a day, and then got on a yacht with the three of us and left our main island.
"Brother Nan, I have a map here."
Sister Rong handed me the map, I spread the map on the table, looked at it carefully, and Xue Ran and Dugua also came over.
The map was specially drawn by Sister Rong, and it was very specific, the aspects and areas of the island were accurate and impeccable, I looked at Sister Rong, and I felt extremely proud.
My woman is no less than any man.
I looked at the map carefully, and I was going to go to the nearest island to the north.
So he asked Xue Ran to turn the yacht around. I named that island the North Island.
As the yacht approached, the speed slowed down, and I looked with the others at the North Island that was getting closer and closer.
The island was overgrown with bushes and looked very lush.
I asked Xue Ran to stop near the reef near the sea, so that it was convenient to fix the boat, and then we went ashore one after another.
The area of this North Island is really large.
It took us about three or four hours to get to the very center of the island, where the soil was very soft and seemed to be very suitable for planting, and there were wild fruits to be picked on the island, which was really good. It seems that we don't have to go through any further search for other islands.
If the area of the North Island is really developed, it will be enough to produce our food.
I asked Dugua to take some samples back from the specimen box, so that I could test whether the soil here is really suitable for planting.
The stupid melon still didn't forget to hold the beer in his hand, but the box was not opened for a long time, and the angry Xue Ran grabbed the beer, drank it all, and then threw the beer can far away.
Dugua looked at him angrily, then looked at me, and obediently began to open the box, without arguing with Xue Ran. If in normal times, if anyone snatches the wine in the hands of the dumb melon, the stupid melon will inevitably fight with him.
He is our famous wine Mengzi, who loves wine as much as his life. Not many people dared to snatch the beer from him.
After we put the soil in the specimen box, we looked around the island, which may be able to build some small factories in addition to arable land.
When we went back, it was already dusk, and we drove back to the island on our yacht. The island is a prosperous scene, and I am very happy.
Meng Kaifeng has spent a day learning about all aspects of the hospital, and he has almost mastered it, and even become friends with some of the medical staff.
In fact, everyone is a little afraid of Meng Kaifeng, after all, he also belongs to one person and ten thousand people on the island.
When he came out of the hospital, he happened to meet us who had just returned to the island. He saw us and walked over to us, curious where we had gone.
"Brother Nan, where have you been?"
"Let's go to the nearby archipelago and see if there's anything suitable for growing crops."
"Are you going to open up your own wasteland?"
I nodded.
There's nothing wrong with opening up your own wasteland. If all the family members on the island are brought to the island, there will definitely be a lot of idle people, and if they don't find something to do, the island will surely be in chaos.
Mon Kaifeng took one look at me, then said goodbye to me and returned to his home.
In addition to the sound coming from the TV, his home is really quiet, and even a little lonely. Thinking that it's boring to be idle, it's better to find a dumb melon and go to a bar.
Meng Kaifeng got up and took the key, and then walked towards the dumb melon's house.
Sure enough, if you are alone at home at this time, you must be drinking.
Meng Kaifeng pushed the door open and walked in. This kid has never had the habit of locking the door before he slept.
"Yo, it's a good meal."
Meng Kaifeng looked at the table in front of Dugua with a few plates of appetizers, and knew at a glance that it was Zhang Dan's craftsmanship.
"Sister Dan sent it to you."
Dull continued to drink and nodded.
"It's also because you kid is too pitiful, lonely and miserable, so I brought you food."
"Aren't you too? I'm embarrassed to say that at least I have a girlfriend. ”
The stupid words, the choked Meng Kaifeng was speechless. He pouted, then sat down across from the dumb melon, took the beer from him that had not yet been opened, and drank it with him.
"You said you have a girlfriend, why haven't I seen it?"
Meng Kaifeng always knew that Silly Melon had a girlfriend, but he hadn't seen his girlfriend, so he was very curious, but they never asked, and Silly Melon didn't mention it carefully.
Silly melon's girlfriend and stupid melon are from an old hometown, and they met in the city, and later found out that it was a place, and stupid melon took more care of her, but the girl's parents were not very good, and they didn't work in the city for long, so they returned to the countryside, and before leaving, stupid melon sent the girl to the train station.
Later, the girl returned home and they kept in touch. I heard the girl say that her parents' health is getting worse and worse, because the family's land is no longer available, and they may not be able to come to the city to work, and they have to take care of their parents at home, and they have to farm and cultivate the fields.
So when the dumb melon received her salary every month, she would deposit money into the girl's account, and the girl refused at first, and then her father's serious illness needed more money, so she could only use the money that the dumb gourd gave her.
The girl felt that she couldn't repay the kindness of the dumb melon, and finally said that she would make a promise to her. Silly melon is very happy, I didn't think I could find a girlfriend.
In fact, this person is very good, but sometimes his brain is not very good, and people are a little weird. But he was honest to his girlfriend.
Now, after all these years, he still sends money to that account, and he and the girl only have occasional contact.
When it comes to the past, the stupid melon drinks even more violently.
"You didn't think about marrying that girl to the island?"
Meng Kaifeng put down the beer in his hand and looked at the dumb melon with red eyes.
"And what about her parents? Her brother was over there, her parents were partial, and her brother never cared about her parents. But her parents have always loved her brother the most. If I let her come to the island, will she be able to do it? Her brother couldn't do it, and when she came, there was no one to serve her parents. ”
Meng Kaifeng was a little sad when he heard this. It's been like this since ancient times, patriarchal and annoying. Although he is a big man, he has long been tired of the idea of patriarchy.
In fact, Meng Kaifeng had a younger sister since he was a child, and later because the family had no money, his parents gave his sister away. At that time, Meng Kaifeng was already sensible, crying and shouting not to give his sister away, but his parents felt that they couldn't afford to raise two children, so they insisted on giving his sister away. Meng Kaifeng shouted that it would be better if he sent me away, my sister was still so young. But the answer given by his parents was that the girls were all money-losers, and they would marry after staying at home, and it was better to be a child.
Such a childhood experience made Meng Kaifeng leave his parents early. He has been looking for his sister all these years, but he has never known where to find it. Clueless.
