Jiang Wenwan listened with emotion.
"That was fantastic!"
This year, his family has contracted this melon field.
Song Dandan knew what she meant by "melon" and couldn't help but laugh.
"Sigh, to be honest, could our sea area be divided into so many sections?"
If that doesn't work, we'll have to find another sea area.
Jiang Wenwan hasn't gone to see it yet.
"I'll go take a look in the next few days, and while I'm at it, I'll have someone row a boat to measure it out."
Oh, and we should also invite Secretary Kang's wife, Aunt Liu, along.
I met Aunt Liu at the clinic when she was a sent-down youth in the countryside.
She wants to grow seaweed with us, so let's take her along.
Song Dandan nodded.
"So that's how it is. I thought she sounded very forthright; turns out she's from Northeast China too."
Okay then!
"Then let's go tomorrow. Or I can take a boat to Guangzhou this afternoon to find her and arrange a time?"
Jiang Wenwan smiled.
"No need for that much trouble. Let's set a time, and I'll give Secretary Kang a call."
Aunt Liu came over the next day. She really didn't come empty-handed; she brought a melon.
Aunt Liu had a loud voice, and Shen Meiling listened in a daze.
"Oh dear, that girl has already sent the child to daycare."
Doesn't she work at the guesthouse?
A few days ago, I saw Director Wang from their guesthouse escorting her home.
He seemed to have taken a liking to her. Director Wang's wife had died several years ago, and he had never remarried.
"These two seem to have hit it off!"
Jiang Wenwan: ...
"Isn't Zhu Xiaomin staying at the guesthouse?"
Aunt Liu clapped her hands.
"Didn't I say my home is very close to that guesthouse?"
They're all on the opposite street, and we haven't lived there since after the Chinese New Year.
I rented a courtyard near my house; it didn't cost much anyway.
The money spent on the guesthouse was enough for six months' rent.
So she rented a house and yard on her own, and would send her child to daycare in the morning and pick him up in the evening.
I've seen Director Wang bring her back every day these past few days, and wow, they're always chatting and laughing."
Jiang Wenwan's first reaction was to turn her head and look at Shen Meiling.
Shen Meiling's speechless expression amused Jiang Wenwan.
"Don't look at me, I have nothing to do with her."
Anyway, my brother doesn't care. If she wants to find someone else, let her find another one.
Jiang Wenwan also thought it was okay, but the speed was a bit too fast!
The New Year celebrations have just ended.
"I think I met Director Wang of that guesthouse once. He's not bad-looking."
Aunt Liu slapped her thigh.
"Oh my, that's not what you call not ugly, it's actually quite good-looking!"
Moreover, his family is quite well-off. His wife passed away a couple of years ago, and he's raising his child alone.
That child is already 12 years old and can take care of himself.
He's finding the perfect one right now!
Many people have introduced him to potential partners, but he hasn't liked any of them. I guess this time he's taken a liking to Zhu Xiaohui.
But we don't really know what kind of person he is.
Anyway, the public opinion is pretty good.
Hearing him say that, Shen Meiling's expression became complicated.
"If she's really good, then she can find someone else, so she won't have to keep thinking about my good-for-nothing brother."
Jiang Wenwan nodded in agreement.
It's true that he's disappointing, but maybe it's true love?
There's no way to talk about this.
Given this situation, Zhu Xiaohui will definitely have to find someone else; she can't keep waiting for Chen Chengfeng to turn back.
There's no need to keep waiting.
At first, she thought Zhu Xiaohui wasn't very smart. If she really kept waiting for Chen Chengfeng, Jiang Wenwan would seriously doubt whether she was love-struck.
Now it seems that's not the case, and it actually seems quite good.
"You're right. It's such a waste to keep waiting for my uncle."
Hearing Jiang Wenwan say the same thing, Shen Meiling smiled and said:
"Right, I think so too."
Hey, weren't you guys going to see the sea area today?
I'll go with you and see what the beach is like.
The temperature on this island is like summer all year round.
The weather wasn't cold at the moment, so Jiang Wenwan brought her and Aunt Liu, and also invited Song Dandan and her second aunt, as well as Jiang Lili.
The women went to the beach together.
“Our previous sea area was right here.”
I checked and this area is probably around 1,000 nautical acres, while mine is about 500 nautical acres.
Let's calculate how much of the remaining contract you're willing to take on.
Song Dandan: "I want 100 mu."
Jiang Lili also said, "I want a hundred acres too."
My second aunt didn't want to use too much either.
"I also own 100 mu."
Aunt Liu looked at them, then at Jiang Wenwan.
"Then I'll also cultivate 100 mu."
That would make 900 mu (approximately 66.7 hectares), so we wouldn't need to go to other sea areas; this area would be enough for us.
There could be an extra 100 mu!
Song Dandan followed Jiang Wenwan to grow kelp last year and knows some things to pay attention to when growing kelp.
"Do we have enough spores?"
Jiang Wenwan had already thought about this issue.
"That should be enough. If it's not enough, we can continue collecting."
If there aren't enough spores, at most the kelp yield will be lower.
It won't be much lower; if there are too many or too dense spores, it will also affect their yield.
Let's mark out this area first.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Auntie, to go back and tell Secretary Kang."
Aunt Liu immediately clapped her hands and said, "What trouble is there?"
