Chapter 1998: Stay at Liuhe Village
Liuhe Manor has now been developed and constructed quite completely. The manors on the top and bottom of the mountain have been built, and the details are being gradually improved. It will be completed by the end of the year at the latest.
The main courtyard has been completed. If Qiao Xuan and the others want to stay there for a few days, it will be no problem at all!
Now is a good time for planting and breeding. They have just started, and Qiao Xuan would feel uneasy if she didn't go over to check on them.
He brought some people with him that day and went out in a very low-key manner.
The road from the official road to Liuhe Village was built with Qiao Xuan's own money. This was the first time Qiao Xuan walked on it after it was completed.
The road was wide enough that two carriages could easily pass each other.
In accordance with Qiao Xuan's requirements, the road surface was paved with a layer of gravel and compacted firmly with huge rolling stones. This way, the road would not be as bumpy as a dirt road.
No matter how solidly a dirt road is compacted, it will easily form potholes of varying sizes after being exposed to wind and rain, and it is also easy for water to accumulate.
Gravel roads are much better in this regard.
Wind and rain will have a harder time penetrating, drainage will be faster, and the ground will dry faster.
Roadside trees are planted on both sides of the road, with equal distances between them.
Just after getting off the official road, about five miles inward, all the trees planted are pine trees, and further in, all are ginkgo trees.
The egg-sized saplings are taller than people, and are upright and slender, with strong main trunks and long branches. It is almost late spring now, and the leaves are all grown. Although they are still small saplings and cannot provide shade or cool air, they look very energetic.
With Qiao Xuan's special abilities, their growth rate will be much faster than that of ordinary trees. In two years at most, this road will be drastically changed.
There are manors both on and off the mountain, and Qiao Xuan was originally interested in living on the mountain. How wonderful it is to be on the mountain, the place is high, the view is wide, you can watch the stars at night, enjoy the fog in the morning, and take in the beautiful scenery of the mountains.
Shao Yunduan smiled and said, "It's better to live at the foot of the mountain. The journey up the mountain is not short. We have to go up and down every day, and sometimes we have to go more than once. Aren't you tired, my lady?"
Qiao Xuan had never thought about this question. After hearing what he said, she thought that it would take at least half an hour to climb up the mountain. Suddenly, her scalp went numb and she laughed and said, "I would have forgotten about this if you hadn't mentioned it! Then let's live at the foot of the mountain. It's more convenient at the foot of the mountain!"
It’s a bit of a pity. It must feel different living in the mountains.
How could Shao Yunduan not see the regret in her eyes? "Let's stay in the mountains the day before we leave, and go back home the next day. It's quite convenient."
Only then did Qiao Xuan become truly happy, and quickly nodded and said yes with a smile.
Zhuangzi at the foot of the mountain had already known that they were coming and had made preparations in advance.
Song Shi personally led people to wait. After everyone greeted them, he personally led them to the main courtyard and introduced the current situation of the villa to them as he walked.
There are still several places in the villa that have not been completely built and workers are working on them.
Qiao Xuan nodded and ordered Lixia to pass on the message that the people who followed them were not allowed to walk around in the construction areas.
When he arrived that day, he asked Song Shi a few questions, walked around the farm, took An An out to play, and did not go out.
An An is almost nine months old. He can stand steadily and crawl very quickly. Every time he arrives at a new place, he gets extremely excited. He struggles to get down to the ground, babbling. He pulls up a few foxtail grasses and shows them to Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan as if they were treasures. His happy and silly little face is full of show-off.
The next day, the nanny and the others continued to play with An An in the manor, while Shao Yunduan accompanied Qiao Xuan for a walk outside.
