While the orchard was being built, Xiang Nan also officially settled in Jintan Village.
In fact, for a celebrity like him, it doesn't matter where his hukou is. Because you can move away in minutes and become a city dweller in minutes.
Even if he wants to obtain the Yanjing household registration, as a well-known writer, it will be very easy to do so.
After officially settling in, Xiang Nan was assigned his own land and homestead.
After receiving the homestead, Xiang Nan immediately designed the architectural drawings himself, invited a construction team from the city, and began to build a house on the homestead.
It is a three-story building, one underground and two above ground. The reinforced concrete structure is immune to a magnitude 7 earthquake, not to mention a sandstorm.
Before the villa was completed, Xiang Nan could only travel between the village and the city.
Because few people in the village can afford to build houses now, most people still live in huts on the ground.
Of course, An Minjia and Li Laoshuan's family have already built houses, but they are all adobe houses. Xiang Nan really doesn't want to live there.
First of all, the environment of the adobe house is poor, with mosquitoes, fleas, and bedbugs everywhere. Even if you wear a long gown during the day, you will be bitten all over your body, let alone taking off your clothes and lying on the bed at night, it is simply a sacrifice to the insects.
Secondly, it’s not easy to take a bath in the village. Water is very precious in the Gobi Desert. According to Li Dayou, he is reluctant to urinate at home and has to urinate in his own fields.
It is often windy in the Gobi Desert, and in a day, your body will be covered with fine sand. For the people in the village, that's all. But Xiang Nan was used to taking baths. If he didn't take a bath for a day, he would feel itchy all over.
Therefore, he could only travel between two places, coming in the morning and leaving at night. In order to solve the traffic problem, he also bought a car - Yanjing Jeep 2020.
This car has excellent off-road performance and was once used for military and police use. In the late 1980s, it was gradually converted to civilian use. Although other functions, such as audio, air conditioning, sunroof, etc. are not available, the off-road performance alone is enough to conquer Xiang Nan.
In fact, you can't drive a good car in this Gobi Desert.
First of all, there are mostly dirt roads in the Gobi Desert, which are very bumpy. A car with weak off-road performance will not be able to run at all; secondly, the wind and sand in the Gobi Desert are strong and can easily blow into the car. Ordinary cars may not be resistant to construction.
Therefore, this jeep, which costs less than 100,000 yuan, is the most suitable for Xiang Nan.
And such a car, which costs less than 100,000 yuan, has already made the villagers envious.
When Xiang Nan drove back for the first time, An Guomin even let him pull her around the village several times. The buns are very good!
…
In late May, all the fruit trees were planted, and then they entered the care stage.
Caring for fruit trees is a big science, and watering, fertilizing, and pest control all require careful attention.
Especially in the Gobi Desert, drought, little rain, wind and sand are more harmful to fruit trees and require more care.
In order to ensure the survival of the fruit trees, Xiang Nan specially hired 20 people to help him take care of the orchard.
Among them are Ma Defu's younger brother Ma Debao, his cousin Li Gawa, and his younger brother Li Shuiwang.
In fact, these three children are not very old. They are only fifteen years old, which is the age when they should go to school. But they dropped out of school early, and at one point they wanted to go to the city to work.
After immigrating to Jintan Village, they worked in counties more than 20 miles away, doing odd jobs in restaurants and moving goods at the station.
Xiang Nan knew that the three of them were clever, so during the recruitment process, he specially recruited them into the orchard. A monthly salary of one hundred yuan and the ability to learn skills are a great blessing to them.
Xiang Nan comes every two days to teach the orchard care techniques, how to water, how to fertilize, and how to identify diseases and pests.
A professor from Northwest Agricultural University leads a team every half month. Test soil quality, check the condition of fruit trees, and provide professional advice.
In this way, the guidance is passed back and forth, checking for omissions and filling in the gaps, so as to make everything perfect.
There are more than 80,000 fruit trees in the 400-acre orchard, with a survival rate of 95%. The results are quite good.
…
Just when Xiang Nan's orchard was being built, Ma Defu also brought his reward order back to Yongquan Village.
Those who sign up to participate in Diaozhuang can receive a reward of 300 yuan.
As soon as the news came out, many people were immediately moved. After the news spread, people from all over the country wanted to sign up after hearing the news.
Because the folks are almost dying of poverty.
An Min's family has three sons and four strong laborers. After working for so many years, they only saved more than 300 yuan. In order to find a wife, he almost went bankrupt.
Nowadays, immigrants can get three hundred yuan, and for a while, everyone came to Ma's house to inquire about the news.
"Can I really get three hundred yuan if I go to immigrate?"
"Is this just a bluff? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"Do you really have three hundred yuan to receive? If it's a scam, you're just a puppy."
"Should the family get 300, or each person get 300? Can I get more if I go more?"
They all asked around Ma Defu.
Ma Defu immediately told them the reason for the incident, "Now Jintan Village needs 60 households to have electricity. Now there are 43 households, and there are still 17 households to go.
An Yongfu of Kushui Village wanted to provide electricity to the village, so he donated 300 yuan to each family through private sponsorship. The number of places is limited, so register as soon as possible. "
"An Yongfu'er?! Well, I've heard of him, he said he was the reincarnation of Wen Quxing."
"That's the An Yong Fu'er who earned 10,000 yuan from writing articles?! He's so knowledgeable, he shouldn't be able to deceive people."
"He is so generous that he is willing to spend so much money. But does he really have that much money?"
"Seventeen households, each with 300 yuan, is 5,100 yuan. How much money can he make from writing books?!"
The villagers were still doubtful.
"An Yongfu is very powerful now. He not only wrote two books, he wrote several books and earned hundreds of thousands. A few thousand yuan is nothing to him. He built an orchard in Jintan Village. Invest hundreds of thousands," Ma Defu explained.
"Oh my, hundreds of thousands?! You're really rich."
"No wonder you are so arrogant. I dare to be rich!"
"In this case, where can I get the money for registration?"
"Um, I'm going to sign up, and I'm going to need money, so give me the money!"
The villagers were all doubtful and began to sign up enthusiastically.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, come one by one." Ma Defu presided over, and then started to register everyone.
The so-called money and silk move people's hearts. Originally, we only wanted to recruit 17 households. As a result, more than a hundred households signed up at once, which made Ma Defu secretly worried that Xiang Nan would not pay the bill.
Therefore, he ran to the county seat overnight and called Xiang Nan to report the matter.
If he doesn't agree to pay the money, things will be a little troublesome. It's also my fault that I am inexperienced. If I had known earlier, I should have limited the number of places first and then discussed it with Xiang Nan.
"No problem, let all the villagers come." Xiang Nan said with a smile after listening to his report, "The more people come, the more prosperous the village will be, and the more the government will take care of it. By then, electricity and water will be It can be faster.”
"Yes, Comrade An, you are still thoughtful." With Xiang Nan's words, Ma Defu felt confident.
