Chapter 206: Plant something on the mountain, another way
The next day, Zhang Wanwan and her father went to Xiqiao Village together. Seeing the brand new villa, Zhang Wanwan's eyes were full of smiles. Seeing her like this, her father was also very happy. "I knew you would be satisfied. But have you decided what to plant on that mountain? It won't do to leave it bare like this. The typhoon season is coming soon, and we don't know if there will be much rain this year. If there is not much rain, it will be fine. If there is a lot of rain, the soil above will be washed away and you may not be able to keep the garden. And it is not a good idea to leave it like this. If weeds grow again, all the work done before will be in vain."
Zhang's father has been thinking about this matter, but it is not easy to talk too much to Zhang Wanwan on the phone, and it is difficult to explain it clearly. Now that they are here together, he has to raise all the issues.
Zhang Wanwan nodded in agreement, "Dad, I know about this, but I haven't decided what to plant yet. How about this, let's contact the people in Baihua Village and buy some seedlings, camellias, roses, Chinese roses, roses, etc., as well as large camphor trees, banyan trees, peach trees, etc. We don't want those big trees, just seedlings that are about as tall as me. It will look good if we plant them this way, right? And build a pavilion on the mountain, so that we can go up there to enjoy the cool breeze, drink tea, and enjoy the scenery when we have nothing to do, isn't it nice?"
Father Zhang stared with his eyes wide open in astonishment. After a long while, he took a deep breath and blurted out, "Girl, if you do this, you won't have peace here in the future! Besides, the children in the village are tough. If you really plant flowers, they will make sure you can't even see a single flower!"
Zhang's father is an experienced person and he knows very well the character of the people in the village. He tells them that quality is all fake and only actual interests are real.
Zhang Wanwan didn't really think that much. She frowned when she heard that and pouted in frustration. "If it doesn't work, just build a wall at the foot of the mountain. Why should I suffer because of them? Humph!"
Seeing Zhang Wanwan's rare temper, Zhang's father smiled helplessly, took out the key and opened the iron gate of the villa. After entering, there was a wide road, enough for cars to pass. The road was paved with the kind of pressure-resistant and water-absorbent tiles that Zhang Wanwan required. After walking for a while, the road began to branch into two, one leading to the garage and the other leading to the backyard. Both roads had forks leading to the main gate of the villa.
There are lawns on both sides of the road and a row of roses planted against the wall. It must be very beautiful when the flowers bloom.
Zhang Wanwan walked and looked, and soon followed Zhang's father into the hall of the villa. As soon as they entered the door, she felt a cold air blowing towards her. The huge house was empty. The lamps and other things were still usable. There were also many deodorizing things such as tea stalks and grapefruit peels, which were everywhere on the cabinets and the floor.
Seeing her surprised expression, Zhang's father explained, "Didn't your mother say that the new house needs to be deodorized? So I brought these things here. I guess we'll need to hire someone to help clean up later."
Father Zhang felt a headache when he thought about how enthusiastically he had worked to make these things. Now it was a bit difficult for him to clean them up by himself.
Zhang Wanwan was speechless and smiled bitterly, "It's okay, I'll have someone clean it up later. When I came back, I ordered a batch of furniture made of mahogany. They are mainly placed on the third and fourth floors. Now I just haven't checked out the furniture on the first and second floors. I also need to buy some ornaments and electrical appliances. These things will probably keep me busy for half a month! Add to that the matter of the mountain, Dad, I feel like I'm going to have almost no free time this summer!"
"Tsk! You're still acting cute after getting an advantage!" Father Zhang nodded her head and scolded her with a smile, "Do you know how many people in the village are jealous now? Some people say that I'm stupid for giving such a huge family business to my daughter. Some even say that I'm already a wealthy tycoon and don't care about this little fortune. Tell me, aren't these people getting more and more outrageous?"
"Pfft!" Zhang Wanwan couldn't help but burst out laughing. After a while, she recovered and teased Zhang's father with a smile, "Dad, do they dare to say these things in front of you?"
"How is that possible!" Zhang's father was arrogant, but he felt bored when he thought of those people's fawning faces. Although he was proud now, some things had changed. Fortunately, he didn't come back often before, and it would be about the same in the future. He couldn't control what the villagers thought.
The two left immediately after looking at the villa.
After they left the house, Zhang's father pointed in another direction and said to Zhang Wanwan, "Dad will take you this way now. If you don't want to come in from the village entrance in the future, forget it. It's quieter here."
Zhang Wanwan immediately became interested and got into the car excitedly.
At first she tried very hard to remember the surroundings, but when the car had been driving for a while and was still in the wilderness, she became a little nervous, "Dad, did you go the wrong way?"
"Nonsense! How could I go the wrong way!" Zhang's father refuted confidently and continued to drive seriously, "There is no road here yet, so it is not easy to drive, but the road is wide and there are no messy things, it is still pretty good."
Zhang Wanwan muttered, "There's not even a ghost in this desolate wilderness, it's really clean!"
Father Zhang had sharp ears. After hearing what Zhang Wanwan said, he glared at her and whispered, "Children should not be restrained in their words! How dare you say anything! I'm telling you, there's a cemetery nearby, and you can't keep your word if you don't have hair on your mouth!"
Zhang Wanwan was so scared that she got goose bumps all over her body and looked like she was about to cry. "Dad, I'd better come in through the village entrance next time. It doesn't matter if you say some sarcastic remarks. "
Father Zhang glared at her again, then softened his expression and said, "I'm taking you here because the road hasn't been built yet. At least the road is bigger and easier to drive. As for the cemetery, don't be afraid. It's still far away. We'll drive toward the city when we get on the highway. To get to the cemetery, we have to turn up from the fork and drive a few kilometers. Why are you worried?"
Although she said that, Zhang Wanwan was still afraid, especially since she had something to hide, she became even more worried.
Sure enough, after the car got on the road for a while, she saw a fork in the road. The sign next to it read "Cemetery". The car flashed by and she couldn't see the scenery in that direction clearly. She only knew that there were dense forests on both sides of the road, with many straight birch trees planted to provide shade.
Zhang Wanwan was only scared for a while. When the car was about to reach the city, she had already forgotten about the cemetery. She still had many important things to deal with.
It is impossible for Zhang's father to follow her around and help her every day, so she has to rely on herself for everything.
The next morning, she went to the design institute again. As the saying goes, the first time is strange, the second time is familiar. Zhang Wanwan is now a regular customer here, and even the security guards don't bother her when she comes in.
