Chapter 192: Cutting off the most prosperous spot in the entire plot
Liang Ziqiang, Liang's father, together with the fishing village charlatan Lin Quansheng and calligrapher Lu Guangcai, a magical and unrelated combination, walked along the village road all the way to Juzipo.
The slope here is actually very gentle, with a soft and beautiful line. There is still a lot of green grass nearby even in winter, and there are many trees of varying heights in the distance.
The scenery is indeed nice, otherwise it would not have been chosen as a B&B site thirty years later.
If we really build a new house nearby, the scenery will be much more pleasing to the eyes, whether compared to our old house or our current rental place.
How could Liang Ziqiang miss such a place where he could enjoy the scenery, live at home, and wait for the future dividends? Several people sometimes walked along the road, and sometimes walked to the top of the slope to look at it. After a while, Liang's father asked:
"How about this whole area? Have you found any area that is most suitable for building a house?"
Lin Quansheng looked very serious and said:
"Water represents wealth. The area you chose has a pond. It is the most ideal place in the entire Juzipo area!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Teacher Lu sneered and retorted: "What pond do you want? Since we are in Orange Hill, of course we should choose the one with wild oranges. The scenery and terrain are both great!"
As to whether to choose the pond side or the wild orange bushes side, the two people each had their own opinions and started arguing eloquently.
Liang Ziqiang looked at the two people with red faces and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, neither of them denied the entire Juzi Slope.
As long as it is in Juzipo, whether it is by the pond or in the wild orange groves, in his impression, it will be included in the scope of homestay in thirty years.
Therefore, there is no difference at all.
Of course, if one must carefully distinguish, the place he wanted to choose most was not the edge of the pond, nor the wild orange bushes, but the place with a clump of swaying bamboos.
It doesn't mean that the future dividends of that place will be better than the other two. From the perspective of B&B, the value of these places is actually the same.
The difference is that in the previous life, it was another family in the village who built a house and lived on the land next to the bamboo grove. Later, the children of that family were more successful.
If we really want to talk about Feng Shui, that piece of bamboo land is the best place for the prosperity of descendants and the family business. Unfortunately, neither of the two people in front of me noticed it...
Liang Ziqiang was not so obsessed with Feng Shui, but didn't this piece of bamboo land have an owner yet? Anyway, it was empty anyway, so he just occupied it for now, regardless of whether it was really prosperous or not.
There's no loss in building it there.
Liang Ziqiang interrupted the two people's argument and said:
"I think the bamboo patch between the pond and the wild orange trees you mentioned is also okay!"
Lin Quansheng said without thinking: "It's better than Yejudi anyway!"
Lu Guangcai also responded: "It's definitely much better than the pond!"
Liang Ziqiang pounded his fist in his palm and said happily:
"Look, the two people who know the most have both said that the land is good. There's nothing more to say!"
Lin Quansheng and Lu Guangcai were stunned: What did I just say?
The land where Liang Ziqiang would build his new house was chosen, right next to the bamboo grove.
No matter what, although Lin Quansheng and Lu Guangcai spent a lot of time arguing with each other, they did not make any contribution, but they definitely worked hard.
Liang Ziqiang thanked them and gave each of them a pack of cigarettes. Then the four of them started walking back along the village road.
Not long after they walked away, seeing Lin Quansheng going off to do other things, Lu Guangcai suddenly called Liang's father and said in a friendly tone, "Defu, we are old friends in the village. I want to tell you something, and don't think I am nosy!"
Father Liang was a little surprised: "What's the matter, Lao Lu, just tell me!"
The three of them slowed down their pace. Lu Guangcai sighed:
"You are blessed, you are blessed. I have always felt that you are really blessed to have several good sons. Especially your Liang Zifeng. When he was in elementary school under my tutelage, I said in class that he was the smartest and most studious student I had ever taught. If your family allows him to study, he will definitely become a great scholar in the future!"
Father Liang almost guessed what the other party wanted to say: "Teacher Lu, you..."
Liang Ziqiang glanced at Lu Guangcai, and then he continued to say:
"Old buddy, some old ideas need to change! No matter how many fish there are in the sea, how much wealth can you make? Besides, in my opinion, Afeng's heart is not in fishing. He is a good seedling who can study hard and become a talent. He should study hard and pursue further education! The college entrance examination is like this now. Whether you are a high school student or not, as long as you want to take the exam, young people in society can still apply for the exam by self-study. To be honest, sometimes when I go to the homes of my old friends in the county middle school to play, I will bring back their old high school textbooks to look through and have a look. Of course, at my age, it is definitely unrealistic to apply for the exam, but it is different for Afeng. It is a good time for him to try his luck!"
Lu Guangcai had said this, and even Liang Ziqiang, who was standing beside him, could feel the sincerity in his tone.
He glanced at Lu Guangcai gratefully, and at the same time he understood where the old textbooks his daughter Lu Haitang had sent him came from. They were all taken from her father's friends many years ago.
Lu Guangcai said a lot more, and finally said with emotion:
"Times are different now. You won't be wrong if you believe what the old friend says. What society will need in the future is people like Afeng who can read. Just grit your teeth and let him finish his studies. You will have a lot to laugh about later!"
Father Liang listened to the end and sighed:
"Afeng is a good student, I know that for sure. I didn't let him continue to study, not only because our family was short of money. Have you noticed that he is too weak and doesn't like to talk? It will be better for him to have two brothers in the village. If he is alone outside, it will be a problem whether he can survive! If I really let him continue to study, I don't know whether it will help him or hurt him!"
It turns out that my father's opposition was mixed with concerns in this regard?
Liang Ziqiang couldn't help but interrupt, "Dad, Afeng is actually very energetic when doing things. He's not a weak person. Besides, outside is different from the village. In the circle of scholars, what matters is brains, not who has the loudest voice or the biggest fist!"
"That's right, look how right your second son is!" Lu Guangcai agreed, "If you start to support him now, it's not too late. Self-study alone is a bit difficult, and I can take Afeng to find old friends in the county middle school and let them give him some advice and guidance in private. The key is that your thinking is clear!"
After listening to what Lu Guangcai and Liang Ziqiang said, Liang's father did not insist stubbornly this time: "I'll take a look!"
When they parted, Liang Ziqiang thanked Lu Guangcai specially, and then when he and his father were walking alone on the road, he continued to persuade him: "And Dad, the cost of Afeng's study is not your responsibility alone. As long as he passes the exam, I will support the expenses together! Besides, I heard that university tuition is not very high now. My family can send part of the living expenses every month, and the government will also subsidize some!"
As he walked home, he lobbied his father a lot.
He had tried to persuade his father several times before, but was always interrupted by his father with a sullen face. This time, it was rare that his father was willing to listen, so of course he had to say a few more words.
The more his father listened, the softer his tone became in responding to him.
For the first time, Liang Ziqiang saw hope in his father's expression and tone.
Perhaps in this life, those who love to go fishing can fish as much as they want, and those who love to read can read well, and everyone can walk the path they want to walk...
The second one is better. Happy reading, fellow readers! (End of this chapter)
