During their few days in Xi'an, Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu explored every corner of the city.
They strolled together through the bustling county town under Xi'an's jurisdiction, visiting black markets and scrap yards, hoping to find more precious Tang tri-colored pottery.
During their exploration over the past few days, they seemed to have exceptionally good luck, acquiring two or three more exquisite Tang tri-colored pottery pieces.
These Tang tri-colored pottery pieces, with their unique shapes and vibrant colors, captivated Song Ziqing.
He felt that Xi'an was their blessed land, their lucky city, where they had received endless surprises and gains. Therefore, Song Ziqing decided to buy a courtyard house in Xi'an as their place of residence.
They don't need a large yard; they just need one that's abandoned enough so they can freely come and go as they please.
During their search for a courtyard, they discovered an abandoned little courtyard that, although it looked somewhat dilapidated, possessed a unique charm and a sense of history.
They decided to buy the courtyard and placed their collection of Tang tri-colored pottery in the kitchen.
To protect this precious cultural relic, they specially coated the Tang tri-color pottery with a layer of mud, so that even if people saw them, they would only think they were ordinary mud.
In this abandoned courtyard, Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu began their new life.
Instead of repairing the courtyard, they destroyed all the tiles and removed all the doors and windows to avoid drawing attention to it and to prevent people from wanting to move in.
They planted Euonymus trees, which are particularly suitable for Xi'an, all over the yard. Once the seedlings have grown, the yard may become so big that people will forget it exists.
During the day, the two of them went to various factories in Xi'an to discuss the procurement of dried seafood with the relevant personnel. They carefully discussed details such as price, quality, and transportation, hoping to purchase the highest quality dried seafood for the village's workshops.
In the evening, they dragged their tired bodies back to Hong Kong to rest. They knew that this work trip was very important; if they could secure large orders, the village workshops could expand and provide employment opportunities for more villagers.
During their time in Xi'an, their efforts finally paid off.
They received orders from several large factories with tens of thousands of employees, which means the village workshops will be busy again.
The two returned to Hainan with great joy, knowing that this was a rare opportunity that they had to seize.
A few days later, they returned to Shengang Village and found that the village had become lively and bustling.
There were so many people coming and going that even people from nearby villages would send seafood over every day.
Now the villagers no longer have the time or energy to fish, so they followed Lin Chengyu's advice and started buying seafood directly from other villages.
Men and women, young and old, from the village all work in the workshop handling seafood.
Although everyone was busy, their faces were filled with happy smiles. They knew it was all for the development of the village, and for a better life for more villagers.
To meet production needs, they also hired many housewives from throughout the town to clean seafood.
The veteran employees in the workshop were also promoted to management positions, responsible for supervising and managing everyone's work. Their work was crucial; only by ensuring that every step went smoothly could the quality of the products be guaranteed.
In this process, they also encountered some difficulties and challenges.
However, they did not give up, but supported each other and worked together. They believed that as long as everyone was of one mind and worked together, they would definitely be able to overcome difficulties and achieve success.
The seafood drying workshops in Shengang Village have expanded considerably, and the entire village is now busy with their operations.
This once tranquil little village is now filled with a bustling atmosphere.
However, in this noisy environment, Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu found themselves with some free time.
Their lives seemed to stand in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the outside world; they chose to tend to their own yard at home.
This courtyard has been uninhabited for a long time. Even though the Song family comes to tidy it up from time to time, it is still somewhat desolate and lacks human presence.
Many areas needed repair, which was a daunting task for the two of them. After all, everyone in the village was busy with the seafood processing plant and had neither the time nor the energy to help.
They didn't back down; instead, they were filled with enthusiasm and energy. Together, they discussed how to revitalize the courtyard and planned their future life.
Song Ziqing is a meticulous and hardworking person. She loves flowers and plants, so she transplanted many fruit trees in her yard, especially her favorite mango and guava trees, which she planted several of.
She enjoys the feeling of self-sufficiency and watching the fruits of her labor thrive in the sunlight.
Lin Chengyu, on the other hand, is a man who can't sit still. He took the initiative to ride his bicycle to the county and find a professional to help repair the yard.
He hoped to transform this courtyard into a beautiful and comfortable home, where Song Ziqing and he could spend wonderful times together.
The two of them discussed and worked together for two days, and the whole courtyard looked brand new, full of vitality.
They planted vegetables and fruits in the yard and raised a few chickens, letting them roam freely in the woods in the backyard so they could find their own food.
Their lives became more fulfilling and meaningful, and they cherished the courtyard and each other's company even more.
Life in Hong Kong is bustling, while life in Hainan is the opposite.
In Hainan, they chose a simple and peaceful lifestyle, maintaining a gentlemanly relationship with everyone and not getting too close to anyone.
The two of them had decided that they would stay in Hainan for a maximum of two years, after which they would say goodbye to everyone and would not come back here permanently.
However, the Tang tri-colored pottery in the house will still be kept in its original place, so that it can be returned to at any time in case of emergency.
By then, even if they return, they will no longer be able to have contact with the villagers.
Therefore, Song Ziqing still cherishes her relationship with Song Youying and Song Youjun, after all, they are her closest family members, and she hopes that everything will go smoothly for them in the future.
Song Youjun is married with children and is living a good life. However, Song Ziqing has been paying close attention to the progress of the relationship between Song Youying and Zhang Xiang, since they are a couple she has taken a liking to and she doesn't want them to have any problems.
Seeing that she was constantly focused on other people's relationships, Lin Chengyu felt a little jealous and stepped forward to kiss her red lips. He said domineeringly, "Wife, you can only see me. You can't pay too much attention to other people! Otherwise, I'll get jealous."
"Hahaha..." Song Ziqing laughed.
