Chapter 204: Blessings from the Previous Life

Naye Village.

With the arrival of the second month of the lunar calendar, both the straight-growing lychee trees and the Guiwei lychees planted behind Deng Shirong and Deng Changfu's homes have begun to bloom.

At this time, Deng Changfu and his family were standing on their own lychee mountain, looking at the lychee flowers all over the mountain, smelling the wafting fragrance of the flowers, and smiles appeared on their faces.

Before the litchi tree bloomed, the family went up the mountain to trim the branches and leaves, because when they bought the saplings, they heard from experts that in the first year of litchi planting, in order not to affect the growth of the litchi tree, it is best to control the branches and leaves and not let it bear too many fruits.

Therefore, Deng Changfu and his family went up the mountain to trim the branches and leaves before the litchi trees bloomed.

Not only Deng Changfu's family did this, but Deng Shirong's niece and nephew-in-law also trimmed the branches and leaves.

Now the lychee trees of both families are in bloom, and it can be said that everything is under control.

Deng Changfu stood in front of a lychee tree and said, "Dad, look how beautiful the flowers are. How many fruits do you think this tree can produce?"

Deng Yunqiang pondered and said, "If there is no insect disease and the fruit is normal, one tree can probably produce about three kilograms of fruit!"

Deng Changfu calculated in his mind and said happily, "That's not bad. Our family has planted a thousand trees. If each tree weighs three kilograms, that means there are three thousand kilograms of fruit. If we sell it to the supply and marketing cooperative, we should be able to sell it for thirty or forty cents per kilogram. That's more than a thousand yuan!"

Changfu's mother's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said, "If we can make more than a thousand, then all the money we invested will be earned back. The tree will grow bigger every year, so won't we make more every year?"

Guan Yongying said with a smile: "Mom, the more you earn, the more money you make. Jiugong told us everything before we even started planting."

Changfu's mother nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, Jiugong has been so good to our family. If any family had such a way to make money, everyone would keep it secret. How could he tell others all the secrets before he even made any money himself?"

Deng Changfu laughed and said, "Jiu Gong's vision is far beyond the reach of other people in the village. I'm afraid Jiu Gong doesn't even see the small profits from growing litchi!"

Guan Yongying nodded and said, "That's right. Just look at Uncle Yuntai. Being a big vat master in a vat factory can earn more than 200 yuan a month, and at least 2,500 yuan a year. But with such an income, Jiugong also let him quit his job to do other things. You can imagine how high Jiugong's vision is."

Deng Changfu said: "Under the guidance of Jiugong, our family has already taken the lead. As long as we take good care of these lychee trees, our family will become rich in a few years!"

Changfu's mother said, "When we make some money from selling lychees this year, we'll give Yongying a good meal. Our family has been living frugally all year long. Even when Yongying gave birth to twins, they didn't have a good meal. I feel really bad about it."

Guan Yongying said quickly: "Mom, look at what you said, how can my family treat me badly? When I was in confinement last year, I ate almost ten chickens. This treatment is better than many women in the village."

Changfu's mother sighed and said, "Yongying, my Ah Fu is so lucky to marry you."

She was extremely satisfied with her daughter-in-law. She was not at all spoiled and could do any job after she got married. When she saw that the family was in financial difficulty, she took out all the dowry money her parents had given her and gave it to her as the mother-in-law. She also gave birth to a pair of twin grandsons for their family.

Which mother-in-law would not like a daughter-in-law like this?

Guan Yongying said with a smile: "Mom, I am blessed to marry Brother Fu and to meet elders like you in my previous life."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law praise each other, and the family is happy.

Such harmonious family relationships cannot be purchased by any amount of money.

…

After signing the contract with the county construction company, Deng Shirong bought three more bunk beds. Last time he only bought four beds, and one room was left empty. Since he planned to let his nephew and his deceased wife's nephews and nieces come to work, he must arrange accommodation for them.

There are four rooms upstairs, two of which have wardrobes. One is for the eldest son and daughter-in-law, and one is for the eldest daughter. The other two rooms are each equipped with two beds, which is just right for the four nephews and their family to have one bed each.

As for the room downstairs, it was reserved for Deng Shirong to live in.

Although he would not stay in the county town for a long time, the room was left for him to stay for a while occasionally.

Only after the bed was installed did Deng Shirong get on the bus home.

…

After returning home, the children all greeted them.

Deng Yunzhen asked, "Dad, why did you stay in the county town for so long this time?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "I didn't stay in the county town all the time. I also went to the capital to meet Yunheng."

Deng Yunzhen suddenly realized, "So Dad, you went to Beijing. No wonder you were gone for more than a month."

Deng Yuntai asked, "Dad, is Yunheng adapting well in school?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Why should he be uncomfortable? Although only half a year has passed, he has already made a lot of friends in school."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

As she was speaking, Zhang Xiuping had already handed the cigarette pipe to her father-in-law.

Deng Shirong took the pipe and smoked a few cigarettes before he got down to business: "The restaurant in the county has already started construction. It's located diagonally opposite the People's Cinema, and on the right is the Sugar and Tobacco Company. I wonder if you have any impression of it?"

Deng Yuntai had walked through every corner of the county last year in search of a store. He was the first to react and said, "I remember that Xicheng Road to the west leads to Shuiming Commune, and to the east it connects to Xinglong Road, right?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "It's that road, diagonally opposite the People's Cinema. Isn't there a large piece of vacant land? That's where our family opened the restaurant."

After hearing this, Deng Yunzhen and Zhang Xiuping also had a vague impression.

Deng Yunzhen asked, "Dad, how long will it take to build this restaurant?"

Deng Shirong said: "It will be completed within three months. After you spend May Day at home, you can go upstairs to make preparations for the opening."

Zhang Xiuping asked, "Dad, have you thought of a name for this restaurant?"

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "I've decided, let's call it Suifeng Hotel. What do you think of this name?"

Zhang Xiuping's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said, "Dad, you picked a great name!"

Deng Yuntai also praised: "This name is indeed well chosen. It sounds elegant and classy."

Deng Yunzhen also nodded repeatedly, and everyone thought that the name of the restaurant was well chosen.

Deng Shirong naturally would not tell his sons, daughters and daughters-in-law that the name of the restaurant was actually borrowed by him in advance.

This is a very famous restaurant opened in the county in the 1990s, also located on Xicheng Road. At that time, the third son was already working in the county and had once brought Deng Shirong to this restaurant for dinner, so he had a very deep impression of this high-end restaurant.
