Zhang Guodong went to buy vegetable seeds and fruit tree seedlings. There were several companies in Jialiu District, Dejian District, that specialized in selling various seeds and seedlings. Li Yun was urging him hard, so Zhang Guodong had no choice but to set off immediately and drive to the district.
To cover the area around the yard, at least thirty fruit trees are needed, to prevent them from dying. Two or three hundred trees will suffice. As for vegetable seeds, there are quite a few varieties. Li Yun has never farmed before, so she naturally doesn't know the different kinds of vegetable seeds. If they buy them all, it'll probably be enough for Zhang Guodong to transport half a truckload!
"Fatty, where in the district can I buy vegetable seeds and fruit seedlings?" On the way, Zhang Guodong realized he didn't know where those companies were either, so he called Fatty to ask. Fatty knew the district much better than he did.
Having accepted the fat man's request for help, Zhang Guodong hasn't started the investigation yet. However, given his skills, he could easily follow him undetected, so there's no rush.
Given Zheng Chun's opportunistic nature, Zhang Guodong would never believe he had a clean record. What are the biggest taboos for officials? They are issues of conduct and assets. Zhang Guodong couldn't investigate assets—he didn't have the authority—but there was plenty of room to manipulate issues of conduct.
The fat man is keeping a low profile right now, focusing on some practical work. For example, the rural economy is facing some important development problems, such as fewer people farming, land abandonment, and drought. These are urgent issues; without addressing these factors that constrain the lifeline of agriculture, there's no way to talk about increasing farmers' income.
Upon receiving Zhang Guodong's call, the fat man assumed that Zhang had gotten something on Zheng Chun. Hearing that it was about this matter, he exclaimed in surprise, "Guodong, why are you buying all this? I thought that matter had been resolved!"
"You think I'm an omnipotent god, able to get whatever I want? It hasn't even been 24 hours yet. No rush, take your time. Just give me a call when that kid comes to the district!" Zhang Guodong said with a laugh. "Taoyuan Xiaozhu needs these things, to plant vegetables and fruits, that's what makes it a paradise, so I came out to buy some."
"Peach Blossom Spring? Is that the land you had in Jixing Village? Damn, I don't think I've even been there since it was built. I have no idea what it looks like now. No way, I have to go there sometime!" the fat man said, his spirits lifting.
"No. Let's forget it. You'd better not go. I can't make decisions about that place right now, sigh." Zhang Guodong was startled when he heard this. Damn, if Fatty goes and Xuan Qingning and the others get disturbed, what if they throw a tantrum? He couldn't afford that. For now, it's best not to expose that place.
For this reason, I have no choice but to ask my brother to compromise.
"Hurry up and tell me where there are seed and seedling companies. I'll treat you to some good wine later!" Zhang Guodong changed the subject.
The fat man was curious, but didn't pay much attention. He was just a little curious about who lived in Peach Blossom Abode, and why Zhang Guodong didn't have anywhere to live? He didn't waste any words, and since he happened to know a friend who also ran a seedling company, he gave him the phone number.
The company, called Green Planting, is owned by a man surnamed Huang in his thirties. He wasn't really a friend of the fat man's; they'd only met when he was a secretary. As the district head's secretary, he was fawned over by many businesses, naturally accumulating a huge pile of business cards.
The fat man ultimately didn't call Boss Huang because Zhang Guodong hadn't bought much, so Zhang Guodong declined. The fat man's status was different now. Making a call would mean owing a favor, which wasn't worth it. Besides, Zhang Guodong wasn't short of money.
About ten minutes later, Zhang Guodong arrived at the company. It turned out to be a rather large storefront. Inside, there was only a young woman idly playing cards online.
This girl wore large earrings, heavy eyeliner, and her short skirt revealed bare thighs covered by black stockings. She was fairly attractive.
As soon as Zhang Guodong entered the store, the girl didn't even notice him, still engrossed in playing cards. Upon closer inspection, she was wearing headphones; no wonder she hadn't heard footsteps when someone came in.
But waiting like this wasn't a solution. Zhang Guodong patted her shoulder, looking down at her, and could actually see a white, tender cleavage, a pair of perky little rabbits, and two pink nipples. She wasn't wearing a bra!
Women these days are so open-minded and strong!
The girl was startled when someone patted her on the shoulder, causing her to jump up and turn around. Upon seeing Zhang Guodong standing so close, she glared angrily at him.
"What do you want to do?" the pretty girl asked Zhang Guodong warily.
"Do you sell seeds and seedlings here?" Zhang Guodong asked with a slight smile.
Startled, the girl suddenly realized, blushed, and quickly closed the playing cards, saying, "Yes, we have a complete range of seeds and saplings. What kind would you like? We have pictures, descriptions, and prices!"
Inside a thick, colorful book were many pictures of seeds and trees, with prices listed. Zhang Guodong took it and glanced through them. There was a table of contents at the front, so finding what he was looking for wasn't difficult.
This is indeed very comprehensive, with thousands upon thousands of types of seeds. There are also thousands of types of seedlings, and orders are accepted here. Some fruit seedlings not available here can also be purchased through our service.
Zhang Guodong looked through the list, trying to remember the seeds and trees he wanted to buy, but there was just too much to take it all in. He was a little overwhelmed.
Currently, most of the area in Taoyuan is vacant; it's such a waste not to plant some vegetation there. Think about it. If we're going to buy, we should buy the best.
"Make a note of these: one pound of pearl corn seeds, one pound of purple early rice seeds, one pound of golden millet seeds, one pound of premium sorghum seeds, one pound of jade mung bean seeds, one pound of golden bean seeds, and one pound of premium black mustard seed."
"One," Zhang Guodong ordered more than twenty of the most expensive crops in a row.
The girl remembered, her brow furrowing for a moment before relaxing. She thought she was only buying a pound, but it turned out she'd ended up with over three thousand yuan worth of goods. Even though it was a bit of a mixed bag.
"Okay. Now let's look at the vegetable seeds and trees."
As Zhang Guodong continued to order, the young woman beamed and became much more enthusiastic towards him. She quickly calculated the cost of the seeds and seedlings—it was over 21,000 yuan! This wasn't a small business.
"There shouldn't be any counterfeit goods here, right?" Zhang Guodong asked casually as he followed the pretty girl to the warehouse behind the store to get the seeds. As for the saplings, he said they would have to go to the company's cultivation base to get them.
"How could that be? Our business philosophy here is to compensate ten times the price for any counterfeit goods. There are absolutely no fakes here. You can ask around if you don't believe me!" the girl said, somewhat displeased.
Zhang Guodong simply offered a suggestion.
"That's good. As long as it's genuine, that's good. As for counterfeit goods, let me make this clear: I don't care who you sell counterfeit goods to, just don't sell them to me. Otherwise, this company can forget about staying in business," Zhang Guodong said calmly.
The young woman felt a chill run down her spine, startled by Zhang Guodong's calm voice. Zhang Guodong knew: what industry these days didn't have counterfeit goods? What industry didn't have counterfeiting? Don't be fooled by the high prices and impressive names of the seeds; counterfeiting was rampant. Buying a bunch of fakes would just ruin your life.
These words seemed to have worked; the seeds the girl brought were exactly as described, and Zhang Guodong was generally satisfied. Good seeds contain more spiritual energy than ordinary seeds of the same type—this fact couldn't be hidden from him.
The seeds weighed several dozen kilograms when they were loaded onto the truck. There were over two hundred bags of various sizes.
Then Zhang Guodong went with her to pick up the saplings, and the shop was temporarily closed. This 20,000 yuan deal seemed worthwhile, even though it meant leaving for a while.
After retrieving the slender fruit tree saplings, the back of the van had to be opened, otherwise it wouldn't fit. The saplings were very thin, but there were many of them. Zhang Guo had bought twenty saplings of dozens of varieties from two hundred companies, fearing he might accidentally kill them. He bought the extras as practice.
After loading the supplies into the vehicle, Zhang Guodong drove towards Taoyuan Xiaozhu. Two hours later, having successfully completed his mission, he returned to Taoyuan Xiaozhu and shouted as he got out of the car, "I'm back! Mission accomplished!"
Upon hearing the sound, people immediately came out of the room. Li Yun and Qingzhu were the most enthusiastic, leading the way, followed by another person, the serene woman Qin Lina. This beautiful woman, now simply dressed, had a very good relationship with Li Yun and the others.
"Wow, so many!" With a cheer, Li Yun and Qingzhu scrambled to get things off the car, leaving Zhang Guodong and Qin Lina standing to the side, making the two of them a little embarrassed.
To be honest, Qin Lina has come to like this quiet life.
She originally came to the countryside to relax. But she ended up staying for a month and didn't want to leave. Li Yun: The woman's appearance made her very curious and surprised, and then she was no longer lonely.
What she was most curious about was this man, a man of extraordinary bearing, who could actually have three stunningly beautiful women surrounding him. Zhang Guodong's unique charisma made Qin Lina feel close to him.
"Guodong, what are you going to do with these saplings?" Qin Lina blushed and asked in a low voice.
Zhang Guodong was also a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say, but luckily the other party spoke up.
"Don't you think the area around here is a bit too empty? They plan to plant these fruit trees here!" Zhang Guodong chuckled.
"Plant fruit trees here? Is it okay to plant fruit trees now? I heard that fruit trees planted in winter and autumn are more likely to survive, and they might not survive if planted now," Qin Lina asked in surprise. Planting fruit trees around here would indeed be a good idea, but the season doesn't seem right, does it?
Zhang Guodong gave a wry smile. He said, "Li Yun and Qingzhu want to plant the trees, but I'm just a laborer. Maybe they have a way?"
"Pfft!" Qin Lina burst out laughing.
Qin Lina was a beautiful woman, her hair styled in a bun like a young married woman. Her clothes were rather thin, perfectly highlighting her stunning figure; it was clear she had a hot body. This smile stirred a certain desire in Zhang Guodong's lower body.
"Li Yun, leave me a third of the seeds and seedlings; I'm going back to the city!" Seeing that everything had been unloaded, Zhang Guodong avoided the awkwardness and immediately got into his car and left.
Qin Lina's face flushed slightly. Zhang Guodong's gaze was aggressive, making her feel hot, but not unpleasant.
However, Li Yun and Qingzhu did not notice any of this.
"Sister Na, come help us divide the seeds!" Li Yun said.
"Okay, but... I also want to plant vegetables and trees, is that alright?" Qin Lina's heart stirred, and she wanted to participate as well. The simple-minded Li Yun and Qingzhu immediately agreed.
Zhang Guodong drove at breakneck speed and quickly returned to his home at the provincial TV station. On the way, he called Zheng Le, who was at her home. Her child and four elders were at the Zhang family home next door, and she was waiting for Zhang Guodong with some confusion.
A short while later, the door opened. Zhang Guodong darted in. Zheng Le had just stood up when Zhang Guodong grabbed her, his large mouth kissing her, his sensitive lower body being invaded and caressed.
Zheng Le blushed instantly, her body trembled slightly, and she reacted with heightened sensitivity, realizing what Zhang Guodong was about to do.
"Guodong, it's not evening yet."
"Hehe, I want it now. Otherwise, I'll find someone else!" Zhang Guodong kept stroking her, making Zheng Le pant heavily. Her eyes quickly became glazed over.
"You dare!" Zheng Le said.
“We’re on the sand today, come on, crawl down!” Zhang Guodong smiled smugly and told her to crawl.
"No!" The latter blushed with shame, but in the end she could not refuse her husband's request.
He was dressed simply at home. Zhang Guodong touched his crotch; it was just a thin layer of fabric. He pulled it down and found it was damp. He chuckled; with his pants down, his penis was already bulging and throbbing violently.
A soft cry rang out. The two joined together. The different environment, and the fact that it was broad daylight, made Zhang Guodong and her feel incredibly aroused. The sounds of their lovemaking continued, accompanied by moans.
After a moment of release, two hours later, Zheng Le collapsed onto the sofa, nestled in Zhang Guodong's arms, her arms wrapped around his neck, looking utterly exhausted. She was satisfied, but Zhang Guodong was too powerful in that area, bringing her to the brink of ecstasy multiple times each time.
"husband!"
"Hmm?" Zhang Guodong responded.
"I can't move. Carry me into the bathroom!"
"Hehe, okay. Let's take a bath together!"
Another round of physical and oral stimulation ensued. He touched her until she was panting and pleading. Zhang Guodong finally let her go; otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten out of bed today.
"How about I give you oral sex?" Zheng Le blushed deeply and said shyly. She rarely agreed to such requests, but this time she took the initiative, which made Zhang Guodong's heart flutter.
But seeing how delicate his wife was, Zhang Guodong immediately hugged her and said tenderly, "It's okay, once is enough!"
It was four hours later when they returned to Peach Blossom Lodge. Although he was reluctant to leave, Zhang Guodong had things to do. Thinking of Li Yun and Qingzhu's recklessness, Zhang Guodong was afraid they would ruin the seeds and saplings.
Sure enough, when Zhang Guodong arrived, two women—no, three women, including an excited Qin Lina—had also joined in digging holes. But how much experience could three pampered girls possibly have? Their clumsy attempts with the digging tools, and the holes of varying sizes, amused Zhang Guodong.
However, the three women were working with great enthusiasm, and Zhang Guodong felt embarrassed to discourage them. He simply took a stool and started drinking tea.
"Snake!" A moment later, Li Yun gasped in surprise, dropping her head and jumping back a few steps.
"What? What's a snake?" Qingzhu, who was standing nearby, immediately ran over out of curiosity. She didn't know what a snake was, so she naturally wanted to find out.
"It's a dead snake!" Qin Lina exclaimed upon inspection. She had learned quite a bit about snakes by now. Zhang Guodong's place had insect and snake-repelling herbs around it, keeping snakes away. She, however, had to be cautious and consulted many people. Finally, she obtained some realgar powder, which she sprinkled around the room, thus preventing snakes from approaching.
She had naturally seen dead snakes before. This place was originally Snake Valley; the entrance, located a few dozen meters behind Zhang Guodong's courtyard, led to Snake Valley, where there were even more snakes. So it wasn't surprising.
"It looks so ugly, like a worm. Is this a snake?" Qingzhu asked curiously from the side.
These words stunned Zhang Guodong, who had just arrived. Qingzhu was still in the early stages of learning about the outside world and was incredibly curious. As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss; Qingzhu was unaware of the dangers of venomous snakes and therefore wasn't afraid of them. This very remark eased the atmosphere among everyone.
Li Yun blushed and stuck out her tongue shyly.
"Yes, it's just a dead snake. Snakes don't dare come into the yard, but there might be snakes outside. It's almost June now, which is when snakes are more active. If necessary, we'll have to plant more snake-repelling herbs around the area, as well as bamboo. Snakes are very dangerous creatures; some are poisonous, and their venom can be fatal!" Zhang Guodong said.
A small black snake. But it died in its burrow. The burrow wasn't deep enough; it's normal for it to freeze to death. Every year, a large number of hibernating snakes never wake up again; if they can't wake up in time, the only result is death.
