Only this green, not disappointing the spring

The wasteland in the village will be used as medicinal fields in the future. This is all under a contract with Yang Zian. If Zhou Xiaoxi wants to plant something else, he will have to turn his attention to other villages.

So she called Li Shoucai and took Old Man Liu's donkey cart to Fangfei Village.

Li Shoucai sat on the donkey cart, smoking his pipe with a frown on his face.

Zhou Xiaoxi couldn't help but say:

"Grandpa, you've already quit smoking, why are you smoking again? Didn't Xiaonan remind you a long time ago that if one person smokes, the whole family will suffer?!"

(Zhou Xiaoxi: Say no to secondhand smoke, start with me.)

Li Shoucai had no choice but to put out his cigarette, sighed and said:

"Xiaoxi girl, I have been feeling uneasy these past few days. Do you think our appreciation party can be held? Our three villages have worked hard for more than half a year. What if in the end, it's all in vain? It's okay for our own village, but the other two villages will hate us!"

Zhou Xiaoxi is not without any pressure, but their three villages are about to be transformed into a paradise on earth. If they still cannot attract people, it would be totally unfair!

So she comforted him:

"Grandpa, you're really overthinking it! Look at the wood sorrel growing everywhere along the way, the flowers on the trees that are about to bloom, and the neatly paved gravel roads. Everything is clean, tidy and beautiful. Have you ever seen such a beautiful village before?"

After Zhou Xiaoxi said this, Li Shoucai's anxious heart finally settled down a lot.

Yes, the village used to be desolate, but now it is full of life. Since the three villages started to cooperate, they have not been idle for more than half a year.

He was worried and asked the old man Liu who was driving the car:

"Brother Liu, you have seen a lot. Can you tell me if our village has changed a lot? Is it really very different from the village you had in your previous impression?"

"Village head, since you are so hesitant, why don't we just go to other villages and see who is better? What's the point of all this nonsense?"

Old Man Liu really didn't understand what was so fussy about. Although he was not interested in flowers and plants, he felt very happy unconsciously along the way.

Those city dwellers are stuck in their own yards all day long. No matter how rich they are or how big their houses are, they have no chance to see such vast fields of flowers, right? !

After hearing what Old Man Liu said, the group was about to reach Fangfei Village, but they temporarily changed their route and went to Pingsha Village which was a little further away.

The road leading into the village was bumpy and bumpy, making Zhou Xiaoxi dizzy and headache. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and simply got off the car and walked by himself.

It was not long after the beginning of spring, the leaves on the trees had not yet sprouted, and the weeds on the roadside were sparse. The sparrows on the trees seemed not very happy, squatting on the trees without moving.

Well, there is no need to enter the village at all. Seeing this, Li Shoucai finally felt relieved.

"Brother Liu, let's turn around and go back. This bumpy road is really unbearable." Li Shoucai's face was obviously smiling again.

Arriving at Fangfei Village, Li Shoucai got off the donkey cart and walked briskly and freely. After entering the gate of Zhao Fugui's house, his voice became louder.

"Brother Zhao, are you at home? I came to talk to you about something, hahaha..."

The villagers were busy with spring plowing at this time, and every household was working in the fields. The three of them were afraid of not being able to find anyone so they came very early.

Zhao Fugui and his family were just about to go out with their hoes when they saw Li Shoucai and his partner. Old Man Liu was standing outside the door with his friend Donkey Deshui and didn't like to interact with people.

Wow, looks like there's something good going on!

"Brother Li, little girl Xiaoxi, what brings you here? Hahaha, come into the house quickly, I'll go make some tea."

Zhou Xiaoxi said playfully:

"Hello, Village Chief Zhao. Of course it was the spring breeze that brought us here! Good things are waiting for us. We must not let down this beautiful spring day, hehe..."

"Hahaha, Xiaoxi is really sweet and good at talking! So tell me, what good news do you have for me?"

Zhao Fugui has not had a good life recently, and the villagers have started to complain.

For the entire winter, the whole village, at his call, worked to break stones, repair roads, clean the village, plant flowers and grass... They did all kinds of work for such a long time, but they never saw any money.

He is almost becoming a person who does nothing but make empty promises!

If Li Shoucai doesn't come to find him again, he will not be able to bear it and will take the initiative to go to Xiangxue Village to find someone.

At that time, they had agreed that the first year of visiting the village would be free, and Zhao Fugui had no confidence that he could withstand the pressure of not earning a penny for a whole year. Qian Guangjin from the neighboring Shuying Village must have thought the same.

Li Shoucai took over and said:

"The land in our village is either used to grow food or medicinal herbs. There is no land left to grow vegetables. So I thought of renting some land from you."

When Zhao Fugui heard that he was really here to give money, he couldn't help but lean forward and asked:

"Why don't you just let the people in our village grow whatever vegetables you want? To be honest, everyone has been complaining lately. We work hard but never get paid. I can't hold it in any longer!"

Li Shoucai and Zhou Xiaoxi looked at each other and nodded. Zhou Xiaoxi then spoke:

"You can let the people in your village grow the peppers, provided that the quality and quantity are guaranteed. In addition, I plan to grow two acres of peppers, and I'm afraid the people in this village don't have the experience..."

Zhao Fugui quickly said:

"It doesn't matter if we have no experience. Our ancestors have been digging for food in the fields for generations. As long as you tell us how to grow it, we will definitely be able to grow it!"

In fact, Zhou Xiaoxi in her previous life only had experience in potted peppers. But she had searched a lot for relevant knowledge, so she could still give some advice.

So she nodded and said:

"Okay, let's make it like this. The village chief and I will come over from time to time. I'm sure everyone in the village has seeds for other vegetables. As for the peppers, I'll grow the seedlings at home first and then send them over."

What is seedling cultivation? Not only did Zhao Fugui not understand, Li Shoucai was also confused. They have been farming for decades, how come they don’t know that they still need to cultivate seedlings?

Li Shoucai quickly asked:

"Little brook girl, what do you mean by seedling cultivation? Why have I never heard of it?"

"Don't you know? The weather is too cold now. It takes a long time for the seeds to germinate after being sown in the ground. If they are placed in a warm place at home, they will quickly germinate and grow into seedlings. Then they can be transplanted into the ground, which will shorten their growth time."

It is actually possible to do this? If operated properly, wouldn’t it be possible to harvest three crops of vegetables that were originally only harvested twice? !

Zhou Xiaoxi didn't expect that there was no concept of seedling cultivation here, so she racked her brains and told the two everything she knew.

Finally, the three of them agreed to temporarily set aside eight acres of land, two acres of which would be used to grow peppers, and the rest would be used to grow seasonal vegetables, with no particular requirements for the types.

Until the end, Zhao Fugui asked hesitantly:

"Brother Li, do you have any cooperation with Shuying Village? Our three villages are now one family, and we can't leave them behind."
