Seeing that he was still fussing over the one or two yuan entrance fee, Zhou Xiang explained, "The fish fry haven't been released yet, and the willow trees haven't been planted yet. How much is the entrance fee for just one or two people? For that one or two yuan, I have to quickly hire the people who work inside. How is that worth it?"
"Aren't those ten security guards doing their jobs?"
"There are two people guarding the drawbridge, one person guarding the boat, six people patrolling security, and one person on break duty. Where are the cleaners? Who picks up trash in the lake? Who checks tickets at the gate?"
"So, three more people are needed?"
Zhou Xiang waved his hand, "We need six people, at least two people for each position. The shore is so big, one person will run his legs off."
Xie Ling asked Erniu if he could come to work.
Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "The recruitment will be your responsibility when the time comes. You can do whatever you want!"
Xie Ling breathed a sigh of relief. The person that Erniu had been taking care of had almost recovered, so he could continue with the work here.
"Oh, right," Xie Lin thought of something, "I heard the mayor is going to be transferred. I don't know if it's true or not. If he is, will it affect us?"
Zhou Xiang didn't expect the captain to be so quick. It had only been more than half a month. "It's okay! I paid for it and it was notarized. No one can take it away."
"That's good."
"Has the road to the primary school been repaired?"
"I don't know. It rained heavily a few days ago. I was so worried! I was afraid the river would flood."
After leaving her cousin's house, Zhou Xiang called Ma Gua, who told her that she was working on the road. "It rained a few days ago, so I was paving and pressing the roadbed. It's been sunny these past two days, so I've only finished half of it. I'll finish the other half after two days. Are you back?"
"Yes, I'm back. I just want to ask if you can complete the work with guaranteed quality and quantity."
"How dare I! Principal Li comes to watch us every day. I watch everyone's work very carefully, afraid that something will displease him. Oh no! He's here again. I'm hanging up the phone!"
Before Zhou Xiang could say anything, the call was hung up. Zhou Xiang couldn't help laughing. Could it be that this person had some sequelae from his school days?
When we returned to Zhou's house, Xiaoxiao had already helped Old Man Xiao downstairs and was walking in the yard!
Seeing Zhou Xiang coming back, he pointed outside and asked, "Is that the river you're messing with?"
"Yeah! Go home and have some fun, and clean up that river while you're at it."
"Take me to see it."
"Let's go!"
Seeing that the lake was built to be more impressive than the lakes in the parks of big cities, Old Man Xiao praised it sincerely: "Such a small river has been fully utilized by you, with rowboats, suspension bridges, benches, and lotus roots. It's just that the shore is a little dry."
"Hehehe, there are still weeping willows to be planted and fish fry to be released!"
"Has your willow tree not been decided yet?"
"It's settled. It's the rainy season now, so we can't plant anything. The same goes for fish fry. Wait, we have to wait until the rainy season is over."
She answered anxiously, fearing that the old man would meddle in other people's business.
Xiaoxiao looked at the suspension bridge and was very excited. "Think about it, I want to play on that bridge."
"Tomorrow's. I went to see the doctor tomorrow morning and will come back to play."
Xiao Xiao felt a little depressed after hearing this, "Think about it, can I cure this?"
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Yes, it's just a matter of time. The key is that you don't lose heart."
It was the first time Xiaoxiao heard such a confident answer. She smiled and said, "Yeah! I believe it and think about it."
Old Master Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief. This girl Zhou Xiang just had a kind of magical power that convinced people.
The three of them left the lake and headed towards the Zhou family compound. "Did you also build this road and that parking lot?"
"Yes, look at those dirt roads on the side of the road. The dirt roads beneath the cement road are even harder to walk on. Whenever it rains, you can't leave this family compound without wearing high boots."
Of course, Mr. Xiao knew what a dirt road looked like on a rainy day.
"You spent a lot of money on all this, didn't it?"
Zhou Xiang looked at his own building and said, "It was a dilapidated house before, and I just wanted to live in a new house. Now that it's a building, I want the roads and the surrounding environment to be good.
Next, I might hope that everything in the town will become better. In short, human desires are endless.
All of these require financial support, so I only do it when I have money. Without money, I can only dream about it in my head."
Old Master Xiao laughed at her, "You sound so old-fashioned. How old are you?"
Zhou wanted to reply, "It's not time that makes people grow, but experience."
Old Master Xiao stopped laughing this time, as he knew Zhou Xiang's experience very well.
The three of them returned home, and the bodyguard and driver came downstairs. The bodyguard was very embarrassed and said, "Boss, I overslept."
Old Master Xiao waved his hand and said, "It's okay. You've worked hard along the way. It's very relaxing here. With Xiao Ling here, and ten security guards in the front yard, it's very safe."
The bodyguard felt the same way. It was really relaxing and quiet here. "Can I help in the kitchen?"
"Well! Go see if there's anything we can help with. Also, help pick and cut vegetables. We can't just sit around doing nothing, right? Zhou Xiang."
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Yes, you can't eat for free, so pay for the food! The accommodation fee will be waived for you."
"Oh my! You're being so formal now, aren't you? You've wasted so much money, and yet you still care about my little penny?"
"A few yuan? It's not even enough for one person for a meal, and it's not much for a day. Even if it's ten yuan for four people, that's a good deal, right?"
The bodyguard quickly went to the kitchen to help. The leader was being blackmailed, so he decided not to just sit back and watch.
Old Master Xiao nodded, "Yeah! Not much, not much, just include the gifts."
"What gift?"
"Wine! Xiao Ling made that fruit wine. Half a pound is enough for one meal."
