【028】Happiness

After living in the old house for two days, Xiao Feng's parents had to finish their vacation and return to Dianning. After all, Xiao Jinyang could not give up his job, and Xue Lifen, the second year of high school, was about to start tutoring. Xiao Feng had the idea of ​​persuading his parents to retire early, but he could not speak. After all, his parents were not yet 50 years old, and it was too early to mention retirement now.

Under Xiao Feng's insistence, his parents finally accepted the 300,000 yuan he gave, and prepared to buy an off-road vehicle or SUV after returning to Chuncheng to facilitate travel between Dianning and Ginkgo Village.

In fact, although Xiao Jinyang's face was tense, he was secretly proud of himself because his son knew how to respect him. It was just that his habitual plan of maintaining his father's majesty was just a failure.

However, Xue Lifen secretly leaked the truth to her son, but Xiao Feng did not expose his father's childlike behavior. Instead, he discovered another side that he did not know about his father.

He sent his parents onto the minibus back to the western Yunnan County. Xiao Feng took Baiyun and Black Soil to look at the construction sites along the way and slowly returned to Ginkgo Village.

After these days of intense construction, the outline of Ginkgo Avenue has gradually taken shape, and the next step is roadbed, road hardening, and the construction of various culverts and drainage ditches. According to the progress table given by the construction team, Ginkgo Avenue, which has a total length of less than three kilometers, will be completed and put into use before October.

According to the standard of planting one ginkgo tree every 4 meters, Longkouya is added on both sides of Ginkgo Avenue, and at least 2,500 ginkgo seedlings are needed in the area around the tourist reception center. Xiao Feng planned to let every passenger get off the bus and feel the unique charm of "Ginkgo Village".

If it were replaced by something else, the funds needed to buy these ginkgo seedlings would be quite large, and they would not be able to get them without 100,000 or 80,000.

However, in the mountains and forests around Ginkgo Village, ginkgo seedlings can be seen everywhere, which brings great convenience to the construction of Ginkgo Avenue and does not require out-of-purchase. There is no need for village committee mobilization. Many villagers spontaneously carry hoes into the mountain, dig back the suitable two-year-old ginkgo seedlings, put them in the built sunshade, and wait for transplanting them on both sides of Ginkgo Avenue.

Since the shareholding and investment amount of Jinghu Company were announced, most villagers in Ginkgo Village saw hope for the future and suddenly became more excited. Therefore, when it comes to the construction of scenic spots, the villagers did not care about it, but chose to make more efforts. Since Xiao Feng was able to use real money to build and develop Ginkgo Village, what reason do the villagers have to stay out of it?

In addition to taking the initiative to dig ginkgo seedlings into the mountains, villagers who deliver water to workers can be seen everywhere on the construction site. They are expressing the enthusiasm of Ginkgo Village in their own way.

From this point of view, the villagers of Ginkgo Village have not been polluted by the outside commodity society, which particularly touched Xiao Feng.

However, Xiao Feng could not predict how long the villagers' simplicity will last after the scenic spot is opened?

There are always pros and cons to developing the economy!

However, it is impossible to keep Ginkgo Village in poverty and backward because of eating up food.

Putting aside these thoughts of being unexplained, Xiao Feng turned a corner on Longkou Pass and followed the unique bluestone road to Jinghu Pier.

Jinghu Lake is a plateau lake formed by the action of surrounding mountains after the snow melts in alpine mountains. Its water surface area fluctuates from about 1,200 to 1,300 mu with seasonal changes, with an average depth of more than 15 meters, and the deepest part even exceeds 60 meters.

For everyone in Ginkgo Village, Jinghu is of great significance!

The ancestors of Ginkgo Village have opened up thousands of acres of fertile land that can ensure drought and flood on the shore of Jinghu for generations, which has become the foundation for Ginkgo Village to survive for hundreds of years. If used to describe it in literary terms, Jinghu Lake is equivalent to the mother lake of Ginkgo Village.

Not far from the village, people built a pier with bluestone slabs, logs and other building materials, and docked with boats from each household.

When Xiao Feng arrived at the pier, many villagers came back from fishing!

Compared with various advanced fishing tools from the outside world, the tools used by the villagers of Ginkgo Village are a bit behind. Most of them are simple fishing nets, and there is even a row of ospreys standing on a boat.

"Sixth Master, how are you getting today?" Seeing Xiao Jinnan rowing the boat slowly approaching the dock, Xiao Feng hurriedly greeted.

Xiao Jinnan and Xiao Jinxu are descendants of the same grandfather, so they can be regarded as Xiao Feng's elders. At the age of 56 this year, he is one of the best fishing experts in Ginkgo Village.

Xiao Jinnan has no children and has been widowed since his wife passed away ten years ago. She usually makes wax fish and dried fish in Yuji Town. Although she lives a hard life, she is leisurely and comfortable. Unlike the common people who use nets and fishing to catch fish, Xiao Jinnan has raised a group of ospreys, which is quite efficient in catching fish.

"Xiaofeng, come for a walk by the lake?" Xiao Jinnan, like most old farmers, was not good at speaking, and after holding it in for a long time, such a sentence came out.

It is already past nine o'clock in the morning, and it is not a good time to take a walk no matter how you look at it.

"Haha, Master Liu, you are so funny!" Xiao Feng smiled and leaned over and said, "Let me see how Master Liu is getting today?"

Before the ancestors of Ginkgo Village settled down here, Jinghu, which had been closed, naturally had no fish to survive, only some zooplankton and plants. Over the years, the ancestors of Ginkgo Village have been stocking various fish species in Jinghu, trying to enrich Jinghu's fishery resources.

Over the past few hundred years, some free-range fish species have gradually adapted to the lower temperature of Jinghu Lake and reproduced, so that Jinghu can irrigate the fertile fields of Ginkgo Village while also providing villagers with a large amount of fishing catch.

Xiao Feng opened the lid of the fish box and swam more than a dozen of precious cold-water fish with arms lengths, such as tall whitefish, rainbow trout, etc., which were very popular. These cold-water fish were fryes introduced by the village committee from the cold-water fish farm in Yaozhou a few years ago, and have begun to grow a little larger over the years.

Compared with the farmed fish fed with feed in the farm, cold-water fish grown completely in Jinghu's pure natural and pollution-free environment can be regarded as wild fish. However, Ginkgo Village is located in a remote location, and the sales of these wild fish have always been a huge problem.

"The construction team has been in the village these days, and the price of fresh fish is higher!" When Xiao Jinnan's face was like a chrysanthemum blooming.

In the past, due to inconvenience in transportation, most of Xiao Jinnan's fishing catches, except for the part he ate, had to be made into dried fish, wax fish, and the price was greatly reduced. In recent days, due to the large number of construction team workers entering, Xiao Jinnan's fresh fish has a market, which has made his income much more than usual.

I heard that hundreds of people would come to travel every day in the village from now on. When I think about the leap of income at that time, Xiao Jinnan was also full of longing.

Seeing the bright smiles on Xiao Jinnan and other villagers around him, Xiao Feng suddenly realized that his investment did not bring all negative impacts to Ginkgo Village, and its enthusiasm was gradually emerging.

The pursuit of a wealthy material life is everyone’s right!
Chapter completed!
