Chapter 130: As Careful as Him
Zhu Suisui went to bed late, but was very restful in the second half of the night. When he woke up comfortably, it was almost noon.
What is rare is that when I opened my eyes, I saw Lu Lanxu sitting at the desk, his back straight, his character unmistakable, his waist strong, and even though he was restrained in it, even from the back he had an indescribable coolness and brightness.
Zhu Suisui murmured in his heart that Lu Lanxu was very well behaved today and did not go anywhere.
Hear the movement.
Lu Lanxu asked, "Awake?"
Zhu Suisui responded lazily.
She wanted to get up immediately, but the quilt was too warm and she couldn't help but stay a little longer.
Lu Lanxu turned around and saw Zhu Suisui still curled up in the quilt. He couldn't help but find it funny. He stood up and walked over, "Are you hungry?"
Zhu Suisui lay on the bed, wrapped tightly in a quilt, revealing only a pair of lively almond eyes, "A little bit."
"Get up quickly, it's almost time for lunch." Lu Lanxu urged.
I originally didn’t want to wake up Zhu Suisui, but seeing that she was already awake, I naturally couldn’t let her stay any longer.
It is definitely not good to always skip breakfast.
These few days should be used to let Zhu Suisui have a good rest. Starting tomorrow, Lu Lanxu feels that she should wake Zhu Suisui up early. If it is really not possible, then she can bring breakfast into the room and wait for her to finish eating before going to bed.
Better than skipping breakfast.
Zhu Suisui groaned, "It's too cold."
"I have covered you with clothes, so you won't be cold." Lu Lanxu took all the clothes that were placed next to the charcoal brazier.
The most favorite thing to do in the south in winter is to warm yourself by the fire. Xu Hui knew that Zhu Suisui had been afraid of cold since childhood, and was also worried that Lu Lanxu could not stand the weather in the south, so she sent a baking barrel over early in the morning. This baking barrel was specially made, with charcoal fire at the bottom and a place to sit on top with gaps left, so it would be naturally warm to sit on it.
Lu Lanxu had put Zhu Suisui's clothes in the dryer earlier, and now that she got them in her hands, they were very warm.
Zhu Sui was thinking when he changed into warm clothes.
A thoughtful person like Lu Lanxu, as long as he wants to be good to someone, that person will definitely be loyal to him.
After washing up.
Zhu Suisui just noticed that what Lu Lan wrote in the preface seemed to be a plan for an orchard.
She was a little surprised, "You..."
"We have to do things in a comprehensive way. If Happiness can develop, my parents will be able to stay in Beijing with peace of mind in the future." Lu Lanxu knew what Zhu Suisui meant and explained patiently.
Zhu Suisui couldn't help but sigh.
A small village was enough to make Lu Lanxu take so much trouble to give advice. This time, she really owed him a favor.
She was not an ungrateful person, so her tone was a little more sincere, "Thank you."
"Sui Sui, I told you, there's no need to be so polite between you and me." Lu Lanxu didn't like Zhu Suisui saying thank you all the time. He was just doing what he could and it was a win-win situation.
After all, if he wants to help, someone has to be willing to take the initiative, otherwise his ideas will be in vain.
The village chief in Happiness is a sensible man with his own ideas. He believes that making a village prosperous is beneficial to the country and the people, so why not do it?
I wish you a speechless year.
The two of them went out to eat together.
There was a charcoal fire burning in a brazier in the main room, and the family was warming themselves by the fire.
After seeing Zhu Suisui and Lu Lanxu come out, Zhu Xingguo asked about the afternoon meeting.
It was announced on the loudspeaker this morning, and the whole village is talking about it. I don't know what the village chief is trying to do.
Lu Lanxu told the Zhu family what happened.
Zhu Xingguo and Xu Hui didn't quite understand this and were even a little worried.
"Growing dates? Can we sell them? If we can't sell them, we won't have food to eat, won't we starve to death?"
It's normal to have such concerns.
They have lived in the countryside since childhood, and all they know is farming.
With food, even if we can't sell it, at least people won't starve to death.
But if they all switched to growing winter dates, it would be a different situation. If the winter dates cannot be sold, they can't live by eating dates.
However, the two brothers of the Zhu family were quick to spot the business opportunities.
Zhu Lesheng said, "In the past, everyone grew grain, not only in our village, but also in other villages. Grain was only collected by the grain station. If we wanted to exchange it for money, we could only sell it to the grain station. Everyone grew the same grain, and the price was set. We could not make much money throughout the year, and could only ensure that we would not starve to death. But if we grow winter dates, our village is the only one within a ten-mile radius that has them. Scarcity makes things valuable, and we can directly exchange them for money. If we can sell them, we will definitely make a lot of money."
At least it's more profitable than growing crops.
Zhu Lechen went on to say, "As for what Dad said about having no food to eat, we can actually plant grain in the first half of the year and winter dates in the second half. In this way, we can use the grain in the first half of the year for self-sufficiency and sell it in the second half of the year for profit. In this way, our village's income will definitely increase. Moreover, the most important point is that as long as we succeed in this way, we will be the first village to do so. How can the higher authorities not interview us? Once the village becomes an honorary village, its reputation will be known and it will naturally be taken seriously."
Being the first to try something new always involves both opportunities and risks.
The greater the risk, the greater the reward.
Lu Lanxu looked at the two brothers with appreciation and said, "What the eldest and second brothers said is very correct, but as for how to implement it, I think we still need to hold a meeting and vote to decide. Whether it can be done depends on this collective meeting."
Now that the land is distributed among households, every family has its own land. The village chief must first convince at least 60 percent of the people to be willing to do this together. Otherwise, if there are only a few households, it will be difficult to make big changes to the entire village.
Otherwise, if a small group of people start doing it, even if they make some money, it will tempt other villagers to join in. By then, the smart people in other villages may have already started to follow suit.
This matter has to be settled as soon as possible. A batch of winter dates can be sold in the near future. After a few days, Lu Lanxu plans to let Yao Yu come over to take a look.
Zhu Xingguo, as the head of the Zhu family, listened for a while and finally understood one thing, that is, all the young people in the family agreed.
He thought about it and said, "Then I will vote in favor. Anyway, we will go to the city after the New Year. I am worried about what to do with the land at home. If I can use it to grow dates, can I rent it to others?"
Zhu Xingguo is just honest, not really unintelligent. On the contrary, he is good at listening to other people's opinions.
Lu Lanxu smiled and said, "Yes, Dad. If this can be accomplished, I will discuss it with the village chief, and someone will naturally take over our land."
Then Zhu Xingguo felt relieved.
In the afternoon, Zhu Xingguo went to a meeting.
As for Lu Lanxu, he did not go as he was not suitable to participate directly.
Until after four o'clock.
Zhu Xingguo just came back.
