Xu Ying looked at him and said seriously.
A trace of joy flashed in Huo Chen's eyes, and he said, "Then let's get married.
I will go back tomorrow and ask my grandmother to discuss our marriage."
Xu Ying nodded and shyly snuggled into his arms.
Early the next morning, Xu Ying opened her eyes.
The man's familiar voice came over: "Wake up, have breakfast first."
Knowing that Xu Ying liked to eat buns in the morning, he went to the restaurant early in the morning to buy buns and porridge.
When Xu Ying saw Huo Chen, a smile spread across her little face, and her whole body was filled with happiness.
She stood up and began to dress.
Seeing this, Huo Chen went out of the yard, poured hot water for her, squeezed toothpaste, and prepared warm water for brushing her teeth.
The corners of Xu Ying's mouth were constantly curved, and she felt happy just washing her face and brushing her teeth.
After breakfast, Huo Chen rode his bicycle and took Xu Ying back to the village.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Xu Ying and Huo Chen from Xujia Village were all smiling. There was no trace of the disgust and disdain they had shown when they first saw Huo Chen. The way they called Huo Chen "wolf cub" was also completely different.
"Xu Ying, are you and your partner back together?" the woman asked with a teasing look in her eyes.
"I came back this morning and picked her up from her factory," Huo Chen said.
The woman thought there would be something exciting to watch, but now after hearing what he said, she nodded and said, "Then you should go back quickly. I heard that the captain has a meeting in the morning."
As soon as Xu Ying heard it, she knew it was about contracting the back mountain. As they walked, she said to Huo Chen, "I plan to contract the back mountain forest."
Huo Chen was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions: "It will probably cost a lot of money to contract the forest. Can you see if the money in my bankbook is enough? If not, I will go to Qingsong to borrow some."
Xu Ying felt warm at heart when she heard this: "Aren't you curious about why I contracted the forest? You just gave me money to contract such a large piece of land. What if I lose all the money?"
Huo Chen squeezed her soft little hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I believe in you. Even if I lose money, I can earn it back for you.
As long as you are happy!"
Xu Ying felt so happy at this moment that she kissed Huo Chen on the face.
He turned his head and looked into Xu's mother's eyes.
Mother Xu's face was filled with shock and her eyes widened.
Xu Ying's face was filled with fear, and her eyes widened: "Mom, you, why did you come out?"
Seeing her daughter was extremely anxious, Xu's mother quickly pulled her daughter to the front of the living and taught her a lesson: "How can you be so brave, girl?
You dared to molest Huo Chen in broad daylight outside the village."
Xu Ying smiled sheepishly and said seriously, "Then I will wait until night next time and kiss him at home."
Xu's mother was so angry. How could her daughter be so shameless? They weren't even married yet, but she was already kissing each other.
"Shut up now. Which girl is as shameless as you? You are not married yet, so you can't kiss her."
Huo Chen had sensitive ears and heard the conversation between the two clearly. He touched the tip of his nose and chuckled softly.
Xu's mother was so angry that she wanted to die. What should she do if her daughter was extroverted? Other men were thick-skinned, but her family was the complete opposite.
Her son-in-law was really wronged. Xu's mother walked up to Huo Chen and said, "Huo Chen, Yingying is not sensible, you can't follow her and make trouble.
There are some things that should be done, and some things that should not be done. "
Huo Chen nodded quickly.
Seeing this, Xu's mother took her daughter back.
But seeing that Father Xu was busy, he decided to talk about it in the afternoon.
After finishing breakfast, Mr. Xu gathered the people in the village and talked about the leasing of the forest on the back hill.
When the villagers of Xujia Village heard about the contract for the forest, they looked at Father Xu as if he was seriously ill and said, "Captain, who would be so stupid as to contract the forest on the back mountain?"
What's the point of contracting a forest? Isn't it a waste of money? The back hill is full of trees and weeds. We can't grow crops even if we contract it, and it costs so much money, so we won't contract it."
Father Xu's mouth twitched when he heard this and he looked at his daughter.
Xu Ying stood up, looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Since none of you are willing to take the contract, then I will take it."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Xu Ying as if she were a fool.
Uncle Xu frowned, looked at his eldest brother and said, "Brother, why does Yingying want to contract the forest? It's such a large forest, the lease period is not short, and the rent is so expensive.
Isn't it a waste of money to build a broken forest?"
Father Xu smiled and said, "I can't stop my child from doing anything he wants to do."
Finally, with the witness of the people of Xujia Village, Xu Ying directly contracted the forest on the back hill and paid a one-time rent for fifty years, a total of 150,000 yuan.
The people in Xujia Village were dumbfounded. Seeing Xu Ying rent a shabby hilltop for fifty years and paid 150,000 yuan, they all called her a fool.
Zhang Dacao's focus was not on renting the mountain for fifty years. She exclaimed, "Xu Ying, you are kidding, where did you get the 150,000 yuan?"
Although everyone's salary has increased nowadays, they only earn a hundred yuan a month after working hard.
Xu Ying directly took out 150,000 yuan. Could this be the captain abusing his power for personal gain?
Now everyone in the Xu family began to doubt.
Xu Ying took out her passbook and smiled modestly: "Auntie Cao, I forgot to tell you that I work in a food factory and a textile factory. Every time I innovate a one-time product and design a new style, I get a commission for every piece I sell.
This time, the Foreign Affairs Food Factory and the Textile Factory got a big order, and my commission was quite a bit, exactly 250,000 yuan."
"Si~" There were exclamations from the crowd, and everyone looked at Xu Ying in surprise. Two hundred and fifty thousand, all the people in their village combined could not earn two hundred and fifty thousand in their entire lives.
But Xu Ying actually did it. No wonder people wanted to contract the forest on the back mountain.
"Xu Ying, why are you spending so much money on contracting the forest?"
Xu Ying smiled and looked at everyone: "I plan to renovate the back mountain, plant a fruit orchard, build a breeding farm, and turn it into a farmhouse.
By then, the back mountain forest will definitely need to recruit people, and those who want to work there can sign up in advance."
Everyone scoffed at Xu Ying's words and did not believe her at all.
The back hill is full of weeds and trees, and is full of potholes. How can it be turned into a farm or orchard?
Even if it is done, it will definitely cost a lot of money.
Where does she get so much money? What if the fruit can’t be sold and the livestock on the farm can’t be sold? What should she do?
Moreover, raising livestock is not easy. Large-scale breeding is particularly prone to plague. If there is a plague, all the money will be lost.
The villagers of Xujia Village had received a lot of favors from Xu Ying this year, and they couldn't bear to see her step into the fire pit, so they all advised: "Xu Ying, the orchard and farm you mentioned are not easy to deal with.
Besides, if you invest so much money, what will you do if you lose it? You might as well spend it honestly if you have so much money."
"That's right, if I lose the money, it's all gone.
Captain, as a father, you need to persuade your daughter. "
Father Xu smiled heartily when he heard this: "My daughter is a capable person, and she earned the money herself, so she can spend it however she wants."
