After dinner, Zhou Xiang was called aside by his father to talk. After hearing the two questions his father asked, Zhou Xiang smiled, "Dad, don't worry, Ling Ran will naturally communicate with his parents. It's not me who wants him to get married, he brought up this matter, you don't have to worry.
As for the question of quitting my job and starting a business, just quit! There are too many twists and turns in it. You don't understand, and you don't need to understand. You just need to know that Ling Ran is back, and his goals are the same. Starting a business is just a side job.
I simply told my father about my cousin's request and the idea I had just come up with.
When Mr. Zhou heard this, he couldn't stop laughing. If they really built a private river park, it would be a complete change in their family's fortunes.
In the past, buying a river channel was similar to buying land.
"Okay, okay, I don't care anymore. You and Ling Ran can go and do whatever you want! Your mother will take care of the engagement, and I'll just take care of your food and drink."
Zhou Xiang sighed and said that both his previous life self and his recent self disliked his father. He always felt that he was too selfish and only cared about eating, drinking and having fun.
Gradually, the family changed, and many people in the family changed. Dad seemed to have changed the most, but in fact, he still had the same temper. He spent his own money, but he would not force his children to pay, nor would he demand to manage the family's finances.
He is still the same, as long as he has food and drink. By the way, he is even happier when these children can bring him honor.
However, Dad is more humane than before and knows how to care about his children.
"Yeah! Dad, just enjoy yourself happily. If you get tired of cooking, ask your brother-in-law or Ling Ran to do it. Ling Ran is a good cook."
Father Zhou smiled and said, "Good! Both sons-in-law are good."
After comforting her father, Zhou Xiang returned to the dining room. Ling Ran looked at her questioningly, and she shook her head to indicate that it was nothing serious.
Ling Ran stood up and said goodbye to go home. Zhou Xiang walked him to the gate. Ling Ran raised his hand and touched the top of her head. "Go home! I'll come back tomorrow after I go to the town government."
"Okay! You must take the north end of the river! After taking care of this river, we still have to rebuild the Beitou store and deal with Zhoujia Village. It will take a long time."
"I know, I will definitely get it."
After seeing Ling Ran off, Zhou Xiang went back upstairs and rewrote his previous plan, as he had to show it to his cousin tomorrow.
When Ling Ran returned home, he was warmly welcomed by his mother, "Son, have you retired yet?"
Ling Ran shook his head. "The captain is trying to make things difficult for me. He gave me a demanding mission. I can only leave after I complete it. However, although this mission is difficult, it is located near Huai County. Therefore, I can't leave if I don't complete the mission. If I don't complete the mission, I will stay in Huai County."
Dong Yunrong nodded at him, "Why are you so embarrassed? I told your Aunt Jiang that you would definitely be able to withdraw! Humph!"
Ling Ran comforted his mother, "Mom, what does it matter? Whether I withdraw or not, I will stay at home. Anyway, I have already agreed to the engagement, so you just need to prepare. However, I am going to marry him."
Dong Yunrong waved her hand. "Whatever. Your father has no objection. But the child must have the surname Ling."
Ling Ran nodded. "Okay. When I was discussing this with Xiang Xiang, we didn't even think about the question of whose surname the child would take. Since you've asked, she'll definitely agree."
"You should still ask! Even if you agree, you still need to communicate with Xiang Xiang. There's a lot to learn when two people get along. You have to respect each other."
"Yeah! I'll tell her. Thank you, Mom. You've worked hard."
Dong Yunrong was surprised. "Wow! My son has grown up! He knows how to understand his mother's hard work. Well, finally it was not in vain."
Ling Ran waved his hand and went back to his room. His mother could be so sharp-tongued sometimes that it was unbearable.
After breakfast the next day, Zhou Xiang went to see Xie Lin with the plan she had written.
Xie Ling flipped through the plan, looking confused and not understanding.
Seeing her cousin's expression, Zhou Xiang knew that he couldn't understand the plan. She took back her own plan and expressed it directly in words.
"Uncle, if you don't understand, I'll simply tell you that I agree to the conditions for building the road, but I want to buy the river in the family compound and the five-meter-wide land next to the river. Therefore, you need to resolve the Yang family's affairs."
"You, what did you say? Buy a river?" Xie Ling was so shocked that he stuttered.
Zhou Xiang nodded vigorously. "Yes, that's buying the river. I plan to turn it into a park. If it succeeds, wouldn't it also represent your achievement?"
"Why are you so sudden? You've been wanting to build a road for years, and I finally agreed to let you do it, and now you want to buy the river. What next? Are you going to buy the processing plant too?"
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Yes! We have to buy the processing room too, and build a new one."
Zhou Xiang brought up the idea of discharging sewage from the septic tank.
Xie Lin originally wanted to ridicule Zhou Xiang, but who knew that he would actually buy it? Now when he heard the idea of using a septic tank to discharge sewage, why did he suddenly become interested?
The money from the Yang family's house should be enough to find another place for his family to build a house, right? The river channel and the processing room can be sold for a lot of money, right? Then, there will be no worries about wages for the next few years.
“If the park is successful, will the station generate income?”
Zhou Xiang nodded when he heard his uncle's question. "There are many ways. First, after I buy the processing room, I will demolish it. The office rooms can be converted into ticket offices and snack shops. Second, I will plant lotus roots and raise fish in the river. Raising fish is not the key. The key is to let others fish. Tourists can buy the fish they catch at the market price.
I will give a small portion of the money earned from tickets and fish to the station as commission, and the snacks, bait, and rental and sale of fishing rods all belong to the station.
This is all expected; no one knows whether the park will have tourists. However, as long as my park is built, the food station in the town will not collapse, that's for sure.
If there are more tourists and the front yard is so big, you can pave the front yard with cement and rent out the land to others to set up stalls. You can make a lot of money, right? "
Xie Lin nodded vigorously. Although these were small amounts of money, if he succeeded, it would add up to a lot! But, "Is anyone willing to buy or rent a fishing rod?"
"Of course there are, but not many. Just keep some in stock! If there's a store far away, and people from BR County are attracted to it, will he still go back to the county to get it? If he wants to make it himself, who would be willing to give him things for free? He still has to pay for it, right?
Doesn't it cost money to buy parts and make them yourself, or to buy or rent a fishing rod? Even if he buys parts from someone else, or buys them on the street, doesn't that boost the town's economy? Isn't that what you and I achieved?
Xie Lin clapped his hands. "Oh! Reading a lot makes your brain active. Now I understand. As long as your park is successful, there are many ways to develop the food station. We can decide based on the situation when the time comes."
