Chapter 45
Before I knew it, a few months had passed, the school was on vacation, and the house in the tourist area was ready.
The tourist area has been transformed into a large lake. Parking lots, homestays and observation towers have all been prepared and renovated. However, the lake is completely bare.
The original lake was about the size of one mu of land. Now it has expanded. Together with the perimeter, it covers 36 mu, or 0.12 square meters. The water area accounts for 20 mu, or 0.4 square meters.
This lake is not very big, but not small either.
The house is built with retro wood and blends in with the forest on the mountain.
"It's such a big place, even if there is water, it's not certain that people will come to play. After all, there is Wanghai Park in the city, which is similar to here and much bigger than here. We are still in the suburbs."
Wanghai Park is a landmark building in Wumeng City. It was built in the Qing Dynasty and has a history of several hundred years. It is backed by Phoenix Mountain and everyone who goes there for fun will go there. It is indeed a bit difficult to compete with it.
"I don't plan to leave it at that. I have already ordered a batch of boats and plan to plant lotus flowers here so that we can go boating on the lake."
“Can lotus be grown?” Although there are many places in Umon City where lotus can be grown, is the soil here suitable for growing lotus? Lin Nanxuan expressed doubts.
Lin Nanzhi smiled but said nothing.
Without the spiritual spring water, she would definitely not dare to take such a risk, but with the spiritual spring water... not only can she survive, but she can also create a lotus pond without mud and with clear water, and then raise some carp in it, which will naturally be attractive.
Wanghai Park is fun, but it's not as good as this place.
There is nothing on the water there, and besides seeing the ancient buildings, you can only walk along the lake, and it is very hot. Here is a forest, and it is very cool when the wind blows. You can also watch the lotus and row a boat, which is naturally more fun.
Seeing Lin Nanzhi's confident look, and thinking that she said she wanted to plant fruit trees, and that the fruit trees were growing so well, he stopped caring and just let her do what she wanted.
So, the next day, Lu Nanzhi found many water tankers, filled each of them with some spiritual spring water, and then pumped water from the lake in the village into the tankers. The water was then transported to the lake on the mountain by the tankers until the water level was high enough. This huge project took three whole days. After all, it was impossible for the water tankers to work 24 hours a day without rest.
After the water tank was filled, Lin Nanzhi put the prepared lotus seeds in, hired villagers who were not seasick, got on the newly arrived small wooden boat, and scattered the seeds in the water little by little.
The seeds were not scattered randomly, but were drawn on a blueprint, with some areas left blank to allow ships to pass through and to look beautiful when viewed from above.
However, the villagers are not seasick but they don’t know how to row a boat, so Lin Nanzhi had no choice but to post a job advertisement online and put the issue of seeds aside for the time being, as the lotus season has passed anyway.
In addition to hiring boatmen, there is also a chef for the B&B. Although Mr. Lin is a very good cook, he has to take care of the orchard, so he has to hire someone else.
There are also cleaners and security guards. As for the front desk, Lin's mother didn't want to be idle, so she asked her to do it. However, two more people still need to be hired to take shifts with Lin's mother.
During this time, Lin Nanzhi taught his mother how to use a computer at home. After all, a front desk person who books rooms for others must know how to use a computer.
The next day, the village organized a meeting. Other villages did not need to participate, but everyone in Group 2 needed to be present, regardless of gender, age or status.
Lin Nanzhi immediately thought of what had been going on in the past few days.
The old village chief passed away, and his son temporarily took over the position. However, his son did not do a good enough job during this period, so Murakami planned to nominate a new person. He didn't know who was suitable, so he planned to have the villagers elect him.
Sure enough, after arriving at the village, all the major officials of the village were there. They talked about this matter and then selected several candidates. Lin Nanzhi was not surprised that Lin's father's name was included. What was surprising was that Lin Nanye's name was also included.
Father Lin is a good man in the village. He will help anyone who has problems. He is also the most educated person in the village. Of course, it is also because the Lin family is rich now, and he wants to curry favor with them. Lin Nanzhi was very surprised that a young girl like Lin Nanye could be a candidate. However, after thinking about it carefully, Lin Nanzhi felt that it was reasonable for Lin Nanye to be a candidate.
In addition to the two people, there were also the village chief's son, a high school student from a different family, and two older villagers in the village.
"Okay, these are the six candidates. You can write down your name and put it in the box. If you don't know how to write, you can write the number on it.
The one with the most votes will be the new village chief."
There were many illiterate people in the village, so in order to let everyone know who they were voting for, the six candidates stood in front, holding number plates from one to six.
Lin Nanye is number six and Lin's father is number three.
Although men, women, young and old all came, not everyone participated in the voting. Murakami's people would give paper and pens to those who were eligible, and the others could only watch.
Lin Nanzhi, Lin Nanxun and others were not qualified, so only Lin's mother got a vote, and she wrote number six without hesitation.
Since it was anonymous, there was no need to worry about offending anyone. Everyone wrote down the number of the person they wanted to vote for, and soon all the votes were put into the box. Someone counted the votes. The number written was written under the person's name on the blackboard.
Lin Nanye was unwilling to be the village chief, so he was just a runner-up and got three votes. Another person with a different surname got seven votes, and everyone else got more than ten votes.
There were more than fifty people participating in the vote, and the two of them together got exactly one-tenth, while the others each got one-tenth.
In the end, Lin's father won. Except for the village chief's son who received ten votes, the votes of the other three people were relatively close, but Lin's father won with two more votes and became the new village chief.
Everyone was congratulating him, but Lin Nan was the only one who felt that this was not a very good job. Although he was the village chief, he was not a civil servant. Not only was his salary only half of those people, but he had to do a lot of work.
However, seeing how happy Father Lin was, Lin Nanzhi did not undermine his self-confidence and enthusiasm. Instead, he thought about how to help Father Lin feel more relaxed.
Because the village is different from other places, the village is very large and is divided into many villages, so the loudspeaker is only available in the village and cannot notify every village. Although WeChat groups have been created and smartphones have become popular, not everyone has a smartphone.
No matter what happens, the village chief needs to notify every household one by one, which is a hassle. It would be better to buy a big loudspeaker first and wait until this year is over. Many families will have smartphones next year.
After all, who doesn't have a young person in their family?
At the very least, it would be too expensive to ask each villager to buy one. There are many brands of smartphones nowadays, and they are also very cheap. Some can be bought for only one or two hundred yuan.
While Lin Nanzhi was thinking about these things, Lin's father was also thinking about what he could do to lead the villagers to better off, or maybe plant fruit trees?
As soon as this idea came out, Lin Nanzhi immediately rejected it.
