Chapter 1721

~14 min read 2,682 words

The young guys really had abundant energy; although they only came for half a day yesterday, they had already explored the mountains and fields of the old Song family.

Now they stretched their legs and ran in big strides, leaving everyone on the sightseeing car behind in silence.

After a long while, Huo Huo Xueying sighed with envy:

"Sure enough, you have a lot of energy when you don't have to go to work."

It's so good not to have the smell of work.

The three female college students behind opened their mouths weakly: "But we are still in school." School is also very hard.

Huo Huo Xueying turned her head to look at them: "School has weekends, and your classes aren't that full now, right?"

Generally speaking, the more ordinary the institution, the less tight the curriculum might be. This institution in Yuncheng was truly plain and unremarkable, and didn't even have a major that could be shown off.

When Huo Huo Xueying asked this, the students also smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, it's not that relaxed; we have final exams next week..."

Yes.

Everyone realized belatedly that many schools had already entered summer vacation! This school in Yuncheng was still finishing its vacation late!

Then you guys!

Everyone stared at them, and the girls were a little embarrassed: "Well... we'll just sprint for review when we get back, we'll make it in time..."

They were already juniors, and next semester they would be seniors; it was time to find an internship.

According to past experience, everyone wouldn't be able to muster the strength to study until the last two days when the crisis of failing a subject arrived.

Staying at school was just zoning out, playing with phones, occupying seats in the library but not studying, and then feeling anxious and self-pitying...

Thinking about it this way, it's better to come and play.

Especially...

Everyone couldn't help but think secretly: This trip covers food, lodging, and travel expenses!

Approaching the end of the semester, they basically had no money left; let's eat some good meals!

Secretary Xiao Zhu listened silently to these words, carefully observing the leader's expression in front.

Just sitting in the back, she couldn't see clearly.

But seeing Secretary Wang still observing the surroundings with great interest, she felt a little relieved.

Efficiency problems are just like this; it's hard for one person to turn things around in a moment.

However, for college students who haven't even developed professional skills to step into society in such a severe economic downturn and employment environment, I'm afraid finding a job will be even harder.

No wonder it's now advocated to enter vocational and technical colleges; ordinary universities that teach by the book and don't train any abilities really don't give ordinary students any advantages.

Just as this thought crossed her mind, she heard the leader ask again: "I see that there are quite a few tourists and patients today; if the whole village develops into a harmonious and complementary industrial chain and cultivates some unique craftsmen, maybe the entire economy will be revitalized."

Song Tan hadn't thought about these things yet.

But—

She said enthusiastically: "No matter how good we are here, the winding mountain road is a hurdle we can't get around. I have plans to get a piece of land in the town and build a few buildings."

"Not for anything else, just so I can recruit more excellent employees in the future; if they bring their families here, everything will be easier to develop..."

And it will be easier to keep people.

Otherwise, high-achieving students like Yan Ran can't stay in the mountains forever, right? Marriage, children's future—these are all life plans that can't be bypassed.

And Chen Yuan who is driving.

Leaving here, they would still have subsidies and could settle their work, but if they can't keep people and they rotate frequently, the adjustment period is never that wonderful.

Song Tan's move, although it can drive the interests of all parties, the original intention of building houses has no economic considerations, and purely belongs to—

Wrapping a dumpling for the sake of this dish of vinegar.

"Oh?" The leader became interested.

The real estate market is sluggish, and local governments are in deficit; Yuncheng Municipal Government couldn't possibly disagree with her taking land with real money, right?

"Is it in the town? How big is the area? How much is the expected investment? Are the procedures all complete?"

When asked about this, Secretary Xiao Zhu was duty-bound: "Yes, there are no suitable terrain conditions in the mountain area here; there are large idle wasteland areas in the town, with only a few scattered civilian houses on top. And it's not far from the entrance of Yunqiao Village, and it won't occupy cultivated land..."

In short, the series of data that Secretary Xiao Zhu and Yun Duo explored and handled, she was simply familiar with.

The city naturally wouldn't disagree.

My God! Everyone up and down is poor; having such a large amount of capital inflow, they would simply wake up laughing in their dreams!

What's going on now is just some routine procedures within the plan.

"Are there any difficulties with funding?" the leader asked kindly.

There must be difficulties.

Secretary Xiao Zhu had even mentioned several times that they could apply for support from the city and contact loans.

For someone doing real economy like her, banks would be very willing.

It was Song Tan who shook her head and refused: "You've seen it too; although our family's income won't be very high, it is continuous. However, our living habits and consumption methods haven't changed much."

What has changed is just the exceptionally peaceful state of mind of the whole family.

Under these circumstances, carrying a sky-high loan to build these houses would probably make the old couple unable to sleep at night.

Song Tan intends to accompany her family to live a better and better life, not to make them worry again at this age.

Therefore, after the money for buying the land is collected, the rest will be done step by step; with their family's income speed, it's not very worrying.

Now it's the banks that are anxious.

Calling every three days, wanting to visit in person to build a relationship. Every time Secretary Xiao Zhu goes to the city, she gets entertained...

In this day and age, their loan tasks are also arduous.

If they approve it casually, they are afraid that bad debts won't be recovered.

Why is such an entrepreneur with a good debt situation unwilling to take out a loan?

Rural economic development has its own laws; although this young college student entrepreneur's thinking is conservative, in the current environment, it's not a bad, optimistic, and peaceful state of mind.

The leader pondered for a while and decided to let the enterprise develop freely.

Just reminded: "The single planting industry is most afraid of natural disasters that cannot be avoided."

"Our country also attaches great importance to this aspect nowadays. If there are difficulties that cannot be solved, feel free to contact Wang Qing—in terms of agriculture, animal husbandry, and breeding, including some current technological planting methods..."

The implication is that if they can help, they will help, and if they can't help, they will call others to help.

Secretary Xiao Zhu was instantly overjoyed!

With the leader's words, it's really reassuring!

Just as she was about to let Song Tan say a few nice words, she heard her say: "That's just right; looking at the sky, I estimate there will be a long rainy season—without sun in this continuous rainy season, how can we ensure the perfection of the fruit?"

During her night cultivation, the slight moisture in the spiritual energy was getting heavier and heavier, and she didn't have the ability to interfere with the celestial phenomena, so she could only wait quietly now.

Secretary Xiao Zhu:??? No, you look at the sky? How do you look at the sky?!

The weather forecast can't even be 100% accurate about whether it will rain tomorrow, how did you see a long rainy season?

The leader was also stunned.

Before Secretary Wang could skip the questioning and give a promise, he heard Song Tan mutter to herself: "It's summer vacation, I don't know if Professor Song is busy, otherwise I'd better invite him to come again..."

Leader:...

Professor Song has been called, that might be more efficient than what they can call...

The two leaders sat in the front row, looking ahead, thinking:

Rural enterprises should be left to develop freely!

Everyone's conversation back and forth was so formal and serious!

Especially those two, the official tone they used was so like the leader's inspection!

The three female college students were like quails, sitting in the back without saying a word.

Until the sightseeing car stopped, they looked at the large stretch of peach trees on one side and couldn't help but open their mouths and wow.

And among these green peach leaves, one paper bag after another was covered, which was spectacular.

Looking ahead, the male students who came up from the back mountain of Song Tan's house were already waving excitedly there!

Everyone got out of the car, and before they could sigh at the condition of the peach trees, they heard the male students point to the peach forest excitedly:

"There's a dog inside! Wearing a silver hollowed-out eye mask, super cool! I've never seen such a cool dog... can I take a picture? Can I touch it?"

Just as he was speaking, another sightseeing car stopped by, Editor Yun Feng and others, dressed in various ways, got out of the car. The men were simpler, but the women were flying with scarves and skirts. Hats and selfie sticks were all there.

Hearing this, Qin Yun immediately asked: "Is it Da Wang?"

He Cong said to him: "They said it's wearing a silver eye mask, so it must be Princess; Princess's hollowed-out eye mask is custom-made, right? Especially cool!"

What, what?

The college students' eyes were bright: So there are different dogs here?

And Song Tan looked at Lu Chuan who also came with the car: "Your friends are wearing skirts..."

"It's okay!"

Editor Yun Feng's wife lifted her skirt carelessly—whoa! Inside were casual pants tucked up and hidden under the skirt.

"Isn't there a video of stealing oranges in Jeju Island that's popular now? We thought, although it's not oranges, peaches are also good, right? We wanted to come and shoot one."

"After shooting, we'll pick peaches seriously; it won't affect anything."

Song Tan looked at Lu Chuan, Lu Chuan smiled subtly and said nothing.

It's already past eight o'clock; by the time they each shoot a video, the sun will have melted everyone.

To be precise, at most they can work until nine-thirty, and everyone will probably be unable to hold on.

Song Tan also laughed: Is it the madness before the vacation ends? She understands.

If they want to shoot, let them shoot; she didn't really count on these few laborers. After all, their work might not even be as good as these college students.

Both sides had their own progress, Song Tan only reminded one thing: "Song Qiao Song Qiao will livestream selling some peaches later; if you don't want to be on camera, remember to avoid it."

The college students also asked actively: "Is there anything to pay attention to when picking peaches?"

Like their clear and simple brains, they are really suitable for this kind of mechanical repetitive labor that doesn't require wisdom!

As for being on camera? It doesn't matter; the boys wish they were famous all over the world!

What's the point of picking peaches?

Song Tan thought for a while: "There's a sharp little hook in front of the eagle-beak peach, which is easy to break; it doesn't matter if you eat it yourself, but it won't work if you want to mail it out, so be careful when picking it."

"In addition, the area where a ditch was dug behind will mature a while later, everyone try to pick in this area in front."

She paused and added: "It doesn't matter if you take pictures or shoot videos, anywhere is fine."

Yay!

Both sides had their own tasks, and quickly scattered into the peach forest.

And the male students watched Song Qiao Song Qiao set up the phone stand and find the camera position, and also enthusiastically helped with ideas, and asked: "Can the dog be touched?"

Song Tan looked at Princess who was wagging her tail and holding her head high proudly, and thought:

"Her name is Princess, and her personality is a bit proud. If you can make her happy and she comes over on her own, then feel free to touch her."

"She used to be a police dog, you guys respect her."

The college students immediately paid tribute.

"She has a stable job... so envious..."

"Why hasn't the matter of our school's little yellow dog becoming a police dog been implemented..."

"I'll go find the person in charge later and tell him to handle it!"

"Police dog? What police dog? A section chief!"

The college students played with memes unscrupulously, Secretary Xiao Zhu couldn't help but pinch her eyebrows, but the leader and Secretary Wang just smiled helplessly, and then asked:

"Where are the baskets? Let's go pick peaches and experience it too."

To enhance the user experience, all the bamboo baskets used on the mountain today were the grandfather style.

Huo Huo Xueying and Zheng Qu kept silent in front of the leader, but now that they were on the mountain, she finally let go:

"Song Tan, you live such a happy life every day! Eat a beautiful meal in the morning, then come up the mountain to pick peaches, do a little work in the evening, go out for a walk, and you can play basketball..."

This life is too cool!

Song Tan didn't say a word; after all, no one says a word when they do farm work.

She just handed her a straw hat and looked at the baskets in their hands: "Peaches won't be fresh if left for a long time; I'll take you to pick the ones to take away tomorrow afternoon. Just pick some for yourselves to eat today."

Huo Huo Xueying said she wanted everything, but when she got to the field, she felt a little embarrassed.

"You take such good care of these peach trees! I don't see any insects, there are no weeds on the ground, the distance between the peach trees looks very comfortable, and the bags are covered very carefully..."

Plus the prices of things before, I know these peaches can't be cheap.

It's enough for her to come and eat and drink, but if she eats and takes...

"Oh my!" She suddenly felt frustrated again:

"I forgot to give you the gift I bought for you!"

What should I do? Has my memory become so miserable after going to work?!

The girls followed their boyfriends, chatting and playing memes, laughing and laughing.

They didn't pick peaches for the time being, just gathered around Princess, praising her with sweet words.

Whatever sweet words they piled up, Princess's tail began to wag in small increments.

Song Qiao Song Qiao was happily adjusting the camera direction, and Editor Yun Feng's family had long run to the back to shoot videos...

And the leader and Secretary Wang, carrying baskets, also stepped into the peach forest.

And in the clinic at the foot of the mountain, where people were noisy.

Driver Niu woke up from his daze and found that the hospital beds next to him were full of men, but looking at their figures, none of them were the leader or Secretary Wang.

He was bewildered for a moment: What happened to me? Where is the leader? Where are the people?

?? Come, come, come, mine is not enough, look at Xianggu's! She has a lot of words in her new book!
