Acai's Sky

The path divides the Zhuyuan courtyard into four parts.

There are two plots of land in front of the seven bamboo buildings. A golden osmanthus is planted on the left plot close to the front bamboo building, and a silver osmanthus is planted on the right plot.

Under the golden osmanthus, two sets of wooden tables and chairs from the original homestay were moved here, and they were arranged perfectly.

Under the silver osmanthus tree, the double rocking chair from the original homestay was moved over and fit perfectly.

There are many green plants planted near the bamboo building, including thyme, mint, geranium, mugwort, mosquito repellent grass, jasmine, rosemary...

The two plots of land near the entrance are surrounded by mosquito repellent grass, mint, jasmine, etc., which have a good mosquito repellent effect.

In the middle of the two plots of land, a large area of ​​gardenia, datura, and fragrant wood is planted on the left, while a large area of ​​Milan, lavender, and pepper tree is planted on the right.

The main purpose is to repel mosquitoes and insects, just plant enough. I took out [Blooming Flowers] and remembered [Grass Growing and Orioles Flying] that I learned today, and used it.

"hiss"

In a twinkling, all things come back to life, and the earth is full of vitality. Green trees are shady, birds are singing, and flowers are blooming. It is a vibrant scene that exudes bursts of charming fragrance.

The golden osmanthus, with its brilliant golden color, looks like stars fallen from the sky to the mortal world. The silver osmanthus, with its pure white color, looks like a fairy from the moon palace floating down.

The rich and mellow fragrance of golden osmanthus is intoxicating, while the fresh and elegant fragrance of silver osmanthus gives people a sense of otherworldliness.

Golden osmanthus and silver osmanthus fluttered down like a colorful rain of petals.

They are either clustered on the branches like golden or silver clouds, or scattered among the green leaves like twinkling stars.

Ah Cai sat in the rocking chair, rocking slowly, squinting her eyes slightly, enjoying the tranquility and comfort.

Rocking the rocking chair, it seemed as if time slowed down with her movements.

A breeze blew by, bringing a slight cool feeling and ruffling her hair, but making her feel extremely comfortable.

Acai's thoughts gradually drifted away, recalling every little detail of the past.

Those wonderful times kept playing in her mind like a movie, with laughter, tears, and regrets... and at this moment, she just savored these memories silently.

Village Chief Rong was chatting with Dajiang. "Dajiang, your family harvested the crops really quickly this time!"

Dajiang smiled and said, "That's right, that automatic seeding and harvesting machine is really easy to use. I'm using it to plant autumn corn and potatoes this time."

Village Chief Rong patted his thigh and said regretfully, "If I had been a few days later, I would have used this machine to farm the land. It would have been much easier!"

Dajiang said to Village Chief Rong with a smile, "I see they have another one in the farm machinery room. Even if we lease all the land in the village this time, we won't be worried about not being able to farm it all."

Village Chief Rong nodded and said, "Our village used to be pretty good, but nowadays young people all like big cities, and there are only old people left in the village."

Dajiang disagreed. "Village chief, now that we can rent this integrated sowing and harvesting machine, we can also lease more land. It's a shame to leave the land lying idle."

Village chief Rong lamented this, saying, "They're unwilling to take responsibility for the wasted land, and there's nothing they can do about it. Just think of the Liang family: their entire family is gone, and they haven't subcontracted the land yet. It's infuriating."

Dajiang looked at the newly rebuilt guesthouse and said, "Village Chief, Xiaotong and the others have been doing so much trouble. If our village becomes better in the future, do you think they will come back?"

Village Chief Rong looked at the replica of the Republican era B&B and said, "I'm sure he'll come back. I hope he's not a nuisance, otherwise this kid has a lot of people under his control."

Dajiang was also thinking about this, "I think his company is quite big, and they all have the surname Tong, so they must be from the same clan."

Village Chief Rong also nodded and said, "You are quite capable. Look at the gifts that Ah Cai gave us. I guess most of them were given by the little boy."

Dajiang also praised, "That's right, drinking that wine is good, and it makes you feel relaxed all over. Where can we find such good stuff here?"

Village Chief Rong stood by the furrow, watching the Tong family's integrated planter-harvester working in the field. "What a great thing! It looks like they've finished planting all 1,000 acres in just one afternoon."

Dajiang looked up at the planter-harvester and said, "Not only that, it can handle this whole area."

"Hiss!" Village chief Rong pulled out a strand of his beard in excitement.

"There must be 5,000 acres of land here. What kind of machine is this that can do so much?"

Dajiang looked at the machine and pointed it at Village Chief Rong. "See how they rest while the machine keeps running? This machine is quite durable."

Village Chief Rong walked over to Ah Cai's plot of land and said, "Why do I feel like their land is fertile than ours? Look at the color of the land, it's completely black."

Dajiang squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil. "Don't say that, they really take the land seriously. The soil looks so loose, but we don't have the effort they put in."

Village Chief Rong also squatted on the ground and grabbed a handful of soil. "It's a hundred times better than the land we use chemical fertilizers on. Let's go and ask them how they loosen the soil."

Dajiang stood up and followed Village Chief Rong. "We should learn from them. Our land is so far behind theirs. It hurts."

Who wouldn’t feel sorry for them? Is it easy for farmers to grow crops?

If all the land were the same as Tong’s, I would laugh in my dreams.

Village chief Rong and Dajiang slowly walked to the door of Acai's homestay and saw that the exterior had been completed, with only the interior decoration left.

Dajiang was surprised and said, "Is it possible to renovate a house so quickly?"

Village Chief Rong rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't you see how many people are working here? It's 24 hours a day, how can it not be fast?"

Dajiang scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Didn't they use fences to block off the place before? We couldn't see what was going on inside. Besides, who would go out after dark?"

After walking around outside these houses and not seeing Tong Jiayuan, they walked towards the village entrance.

Seeing another bamboo garden over there, Village Chief Rong said to Dajiang, "Let's go and take a look. There are bamboo buildings over there."

Dajiang is an honest man. "I saw the bamboo house where Ah Cai lived a while ago. Did Ah Cai move in?"

The two men hurried to the gate of the bamboo garden. Looking inside, they saw that the garden was lush and green.

The most eye-catching thing is the sweet osmanthus. The golden flowers hang from the branches like stars, emitting a rich sweet fragrance. The silver sweet osmanthus is like a fairy descending to earth, light and elegant, with a delicate and pleasant fragrance.

The two colors complement each other, forming a beautiful picture.

Under the silver osmanthus tree, Ah Cai sat in a rocking chair, rocking back and forth, like a natural ink painting.

This peaceful and tranquil scene formed a sharp contrast with the anxious mood of the two people outside the door.

Village chief Rong and Dajiang also calmed down. They walked into the bamboo garden, followed the path in the middle, and sat down under the golden osmanthus tree.
