652 [Wealth and Silk Touching the Heart]
At the same time as the orchard was being built, Xiang Nan also officially settled in Jintan Village.
In fact, for a celebrity like him, it doesn't matter where his registered permanent residence is. Because he can move away in minutes and become a city dweller in minutes.
Even if he wants to obtain the Yanjing household registration, as a well-known writer, it will be very easy to do so.
After officially settling in, Xiang Nan was assigned his own land and homestead.
After receiving the homestead, Xiang Nan immediately designed the architectural drawings himself, invited a construction team from the city, and began to build a house on the homestead.
It is a three-story building, with one underground floor and two floors above ground. It is a reinforced concrete structure. Not to mention a sandstorm, even a seven-magnitude earthquake will not cause any trouble.
Before the villa was completed, Xiang Nan could only travel between the village and the city.
Because few people in the village can afford to build houses now, most people still live in huts on the ground.
Of course, An Min's family and Li Laoshuan's family have already built houses, but they are all adobe houses. Xiang Nan really doesn't want to live there.
First of all, the environment of the adobe house is poor, with mosquitoes, fleas, and bed bugs everywhere. Even if you wear a long gown during the day, you will be bitten all over your body, let alone taking off your clothes and lying on the bed at night, which is simply a sacrifice to the bugs.
Secondly, it is not easy to take a bath in the village. Water is very precious in the Gobi Desert. According to Li Dayou, he is reluctant to urinate at home and has to urinate in his own fields.
It is often windy in the Gobi Desert, and in a day, your body will be covered with fine sand. For the villagers, slapping is enough. But Xiang Nan is used to taking baths, and if he doesn't wash for a day, he will feel itchy all over his body.
Therefore, he could only travel between two places, coming in the morning and leaving at night. In order to solve the traffic problem, he even bought a car - Yanjing Jeep 2020.
This car has excellent off-road performance and was once used for military and police use. It was gradually converted to civilian use in the late 1980s. Although it does not have other functions, such as audio, air conditioning, sunroof, etc., its off-road performance alone is enough to conquer the project.
South.
In fact, you can't drive a good car in this Gobi Desert.
Firstly, there are mostly dirt roads in the Gobi Desert, which are very bumpy. A car with weak off-road performance will not be able to run at all. Secondly, the windy sand in the Gobi Desert is easy to blow into the car. Ordinary cars may not be able to withstand it.
Therefore, this jeep, which costs less than 100,000 yuan, is the most suitable for Xiang Nan.
And such a car, which costs less than 100,000 yuan, has already made the villagers envious.
When Xiang Nan drove back for the first time, An Guomin even asked him to drag him around the village for several times. He was very popular!
…
In late May, all the fruit trees were planted, and then they entered the care stage.
Caring for fruit trees is a big science. Watering, fertilizing, and pest control all require careful attention.
Especially in the Gobi Desert, there is drought, little rain, and strong winds and sand, which is more harmful to fruit trees and requires more care.
In order to ensure the survival of the fruit trees, Xiang Nan hired twenty people to help him take care of the orchard.
Among them are Ma Defu's younger brother Ma Debao, his cousin Li Gawa, and his younger brother Li Shuiwang.
In fact, these three children are not very old. They are only fifteen years old, which is the age when they should go to school. However, they dropped out of school early, and at one time they even wanted to go to the city to work.
After immigrating to Jintan Village, they worked in counties more than 20 miles away, doing odd jobs in restaurants and moving goods at the station. They did all kinds of menial jobs.
Xiang Nan knew that the three of them were smart, so during the recruitment process, he specially recruited them from the orchard. They were paid a hundred yuan a month and could learn skills, which was a great blessing for them.
Xiang Nan comes every two days to teach the orchard care techniques, how to water, how to fertilize, and how to identify diseases and pests.
Professors from Northwest Agricultural University lead a team every half month to check the soil quality, check the condition of the fruit trees, and provide professional advice.
In this way, the guidance goes back and forth, checking for omissions and filling in the gaps, so as to achieve perfection.
There are 400 acres of orchards and more than 80,000 fruit trees. The survival rate is 95%, and the results are quite good.
…
Just when Xiang Nan's orchard was being built, Ma Defu also brought his reward order back to Yongquan Village.
Those who sign up to participate in Diaozhuang will receive a reward of 300 yuan.
As soon as the news came out, many people were immediately moved. After the news came out, people from all over the country wanted to sign up after hearing the news.
Because the folks are almost dying of poverty.
An Min's family has three sons and four strong laborers. After working for so many years, they only saved more than 300 yuan. In order to find a daughter-in-law, they almost went bankrupt.
Nowadays, every immigrant can receive three hundred yuan. Suddenly, everyone came to Ma's house to inquire about the news.
"Can I really get 300 yuan if I go to immigrate?"
"Is this just a bluff? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"Do you really have three hundred yuan to receive? If you cheat, you are just a puppy."
"Should the family get 300, or each person get 300? Can I get more if I go more?"
They gathered around Ma Defu and asked.
Ma Defu immediately told them the reason for the matter, "Now Jintan Village needs 60 households to have electricity. Now there are 43 households, and there are still 17 households to go.
An Yongfu of Kushui Village decided to donate 300 yuan to each family through private sponsorship in order to provide electricity to the village. The number of places is limited, so please apply as soon as possible."
"An Yongfu'er?! Well, I've heard of him before, saying he is the reincarnation of Wen Quxing."
"That's the An Yong Fu'er who earned 10,000 yuan from writing articles?! He's so knowledgeable, he shouldn't be able to deceive people."
"He is so generous that he is willing to spend so much money. But does he really have that much money?"
"Seventeen households, each with 300 yuan, is 5,100 yuan. How much money can he make from writing books?!"
The villagers were still doubtful.
"An Yongfu is very powerful now. He not only wrote two books, he wrote several books and earned hundreds of thousands. A few thousand yuan is nothing to him. He built an orchard in Jintan Village.
Invest hundreds of thousands." Ma Defu explained.
"Oh my, hundreds of thousands?! That's really rich."
"No wonder you are so arrogant. You have made a fortune!"
"In this case, where can I get the money for registration?"
"Um, I'm going to sign up, I'm going to need money, so give me the money!"
The villagers were all doubtful and began to sign up enthusiastically.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, come one by one." Ma Defu presided over, and then started to register everyone.
The so-called money and silk are attractive. Originally, we only wanted to recruit 17 households. However, more than 100 households signed up at once, which made Ma Defu secretly worried, fearing that Xiang Nan would not pay the bill.
Therefore, he ran to the county seat overnight and called Xiang Nan to report the matter.
If he didn't agree to pay the money, then things would be a little troublesome. It's also my fault for being inexperienced. If I had known better, I should have limited the number of places first and then discussed it with Xiang Nan.
"No problem, let all the villagers come." After hearing his report, Xiang Nan said with a smile, "The more people come, the more prosperous the village will be, and the more the government will take care of it. By then, electricity and water will be provided."
It can be faster."
