"Yes, this island looks a lot like a turtle, so it's named Turtle Island. Look over there, it's just the tip. The terrain in the middle is very high. There used to be villagers living here, but not many, just a few families. There are nature trails, and on the mountain there's a century-old Feng Shui forest with hundreds of species of plants. I remember there was even a very sweet orange tree there."
Xu Shan felt that as soon as she set foot on this island, she felt like she was isolated from the world. It was a very pristine place.
Sunshine, beaches, hills, what a beautiful island scenery
Xu Shan smiled. It was a good idea to grow crops and raise chickens and ducks here.
Xu Shan quickly asked Brother Xiao Zhang to take her back and ask the village chief how he contracted the land.
Seeing that she was quite satisfied with the small island, the village chief smiled and told her the number: "Forty thousand a year, starting from five years."
"Oh, it's so expensive, Village Chief, can you charge a little less? I don't have that much money. You just mentioned that this nearby island, which is over 5,000 acres, only costs 50,000 yuan, and it's connected to the mainland. The island over there is so small, and you have to take a boat to get there, which is very inconvenient. There's no water or electricity, and it's completely isolated over there. Village Chief, the area is so different, and the geographical location is also very bad, how can you make such a big difference?"
"Although that island is a bit far away, it's not bad either. It's high up there and has plenty of sunshine."
Xu Shan shook her head, she didn't have that much money.
"I'm a young girl, and it's not easy to start a business. Please give me a lower price."
"No, no, this is the common property of the village, and I can't set the price alone."
"Village Chief, please discuss this with the person in charge. You guys are just leaving it there anyway, so why not rent it for a year? I only have 20,000 yuan."
The village chief laughed and said, "Little girl, 20,000 yuan is not enough. You should leave. This is not a house. We pay annually. We are an island."
Xu Shan was rejected by the village chief, but she liked the island so much that she couldn't bear to leave, so she settled down there. She came to the village committee every day to bother the village chief, and the village chief never got tired of it.
Xu Shan had no choice but to be shameless.
The village chief was probably fed up with her pestering him, so he just disappeared.
She hasn't seen the village chief for two days.
"Well, that's right. It's such a big island. What can you do with 20,000 yuan? I don't care about it."
Xu Shan sat on a rock with her hands on her face, watching the fishermen going out to sea in the distance, feeling lost and decadent.
"Twenty thousand dollars, impressive, little girl?"
Suddenly an old voice appeared in her ears, and Xu Shan was so scared that she screamed and almost fell off the rock.
After steadying himself, he turned around and saw that there was an old man sitting not far away from him.
The old man, leaning on his cane, was laughing at her. "You're so young, yet so timid. You dare to rent an island by yourself? Aren't you afraid of living on an island by yourself?"
"Grandpa, the sea wind is so strong outside. Why are you sitting so high up alone? Be careful not to fall."
"Hmph, I've lived here my whole life. I've been climbing rocks since I could walk at the age of one. What's the big deal about this height?" The old man said, and then he looked her over. "You're the girl the village's been talking about these days who wants to rent our island."
Xu Shan smiled awkwardly, "Yes, yes."
"What do you want to do by renting the island?"
"I want to raise some chickens and ducks. When I was in college, I learned about planting, and then I wanted to plant some fruit trees on the mountain."
"Young people nowadays run outside when they have the ability, but you choose to run to the mountains."
"Alas, I have no choice. I'm not from your city. My family is in the countryside. My parents contracted a hill and run a breeding business. Unfortunately, it was a partnership business. My parents unfortunately had an accident. Others saw that I was a little girl and was easy to bully. Not only did they take over the hill, but they also wanted to adopt me as their goddaughter and wanted me to marry a man much older than me to pave the way for his career. I'm quite unlucky. My best friend even snatched away my childhood sweetheart's fiancé.
I know I'm still very weak now, so I can only leave secretly. I'm thinking of finding a place to continue the work that my parents left unfinished. When I'm successful, I'll go back and fight my way back."
"Tsk tsk, that sounds pretty sad."
"Yeah, I never thought my life would be like this. I always thought my parents would be there to protect me from the wind and rain."
As Xu Shan spoke, her eyes began to turn red. She missed her parents and asked, "Why is life so difficult?"
The old man raised his eyebrows and scolded, "You are useless. You can't even handle such a small blow. Do you still want to contract an island and do aquaculture?"
"I can do it. I've been helping my parents raise pigs, chickens and ducks since I was a kid."
"I can see it. He's dark-skinned and you can tell he's from the countryside."
The old man spoke with a rather sharp tongue, and Xu Ya looked down at herself.
What she wears is not bad either. These are the clothes her mother bought for her, and they are all made of the best materials.
I am a little dark, that's because during the summer vacation this year, I helped my parents harvest wheat and went to the mountains to feed chickens and ducks and sunbathe.
She was not bad looking, as pretty as the autumn moon. When her parents were around, she was the most beautiful girl in the village.
Unfortunately, the tree did not fall, and the flower became Liang Chunyang, who was inferior to her in every way.
"You're so obsessed with farming and planting, have you ever investigated whether that area is suitable?"
"It's suitable, it's suitable. I've observed that wild cultivation is the best. Besides, I saw an orange tree over there, and I want to grow oranges."
"It's an orange tree. My mother planted it."
"Ah, is it Grandpa's mother? She's been here for quite some time."
