Now the house has been renovated, a bamboo fence has been built, and many flowers have been planted.
Two plots of land were opened behind the house, vegetables were planted, and dogs were also raised.
His happy life has officially begun.
Two days later, the chicken coop was built, three meters high and fifty square meters per room.
There are twenty rooms in total. The fish pond and the lychee garden are completely separated by these twenty chicken houses.
Twenty rooms cover a lot of area, and these twenty chicken and duck houses are not lined up in a row.
If the fish pond is built in this way and is in contact with the litchi garden, it will not be that big.
The one used is the double-alley type, with chicken coops built on the left and right sides, and an aisle in the middle, on the side near the litchi garden, with ten chicken coops.
On the side near the fish pond, there are ten duck houses and goose houses. The side facing the fish pond has no walls and is completely open.
The floor of the chicken house is designed with a slope, and the feces inside can be washed into the fish pond to feed the fish.
The fish pond was cleaned of mud and reorganized yesterday. The water will be released again in a few days, and then fish farming can begin.
The orchard and the wasteland were also surrounded by a layer of barbed wire and a layer of fine blue netting.
It cost almost 200,000 yuan to build a chicken coop and fence the wasteland.
"Xiaoyun, the chicken coop is built, but we have to wait a few days before buying chickens and ducks." The second grandfather said to Chen Xiaoyun.
"Okay, Second Grandpa, I want to invite the villagers to dinner. How about it being at your house? Just think of it as me renovating the house and moving in again." Chen Xiaoyun nodded, and then said.
After building the chicken coop, Chen Xiaoyun planned to treat the villagers to a meal.
"Okay, I'll inform the villagers that tomorrow, you go buy some vegetables and come back. The ladies in the village will cook them themselves, so we won't hire a banquet chef." Second grandfather Chen Jianwen thought for a while and said.
…
Early the next morning, Chen Xiaoyun called Chen Xiaohu, and the two came to town to buy groceries.
After receiving the invitation from the second grandfather Chen Jianwen, the villagers all brought pots, pans, tables and chairs to the yard of the second grandfather's house.
Although there are still about forty households in the village, most of the labor force, young people, have gone out to work.
In fact, there were not many people there. They were mostly women and children. There were about 180 people.
In many families, grandparents take their grandchildren to study at home.
And although some families have not moved out, they are working outside and taking their children with them.
Now there are only more than a hundred people in the entire village.
There were more than a hundred people and a dozen tables of meals. Chen Xiaoyun directly ordered twenty roast ducks and twenty roast geese.
Then I bought about twenty groupers weighing about a pound.
A pound of grouper is not expensive at 71 pounds. I can buy it and make a steamed grouper dish.
I bought a lot of prawns, crabs, abalone, and squid, half a fan of pork, and more than ten chickens.
I also bought some lettuce, green cabbage cores, and water spinach...
Anyway, I bought enough dishes for two banquets at lunch and dinner, which cost about four to five thousand yuan.
After returning from shopping for groceries, several tents had been set up in the yard in front of Grandpa Er’s house.
Several aunts had already steamed the rice, and many people were sitting in the shade of the trees or in the house chatting.
"I'm back, bring the vegetables down quickly, you can start cooking." Grandpa, the village chief, asked people to move the vegetables.
All the uncles got up and came over to help.
There was also a young man among them, who looked to be in his twenties.
Seeing the young man, Chen Xiaoyun felt familiar, and he was also surprised that there were still young people at home in the village.
"Grandpa Village Chief, who is this?"
"Xiaoyun, this is Xiaonan from your uncle Guangsheng's family, your brother." When Chen Xiaoyun asked, the village chief grandfather introduced him.
"It turns out he is Xiaonan's younger brother from Uncle Guangsheng's family. I haven't seen him for so many years and I still don't recognize him. He has grown so tall." Chen Xiaoyun greeted with a smile.
"Well, Brother Xiaoyun!"
Chen Xiaonan seemed a little shy and didn't like to talk. After saying hello, he stepped forward to help.
"Xiao Nan, your uncle Guangsheng got sick and passed away six years ago, and it was your aunt who took him and his sister. Your aunt was in poor health and had to take medicine, so she couldn't do heavy work.
Life was very difficult. I stopped reading after finishing junior high school. Since then, I have become taciturn and not very talkative.
His sister just entered college last year, and the family has a heavy burden, so she helps out on your Uncle Min Zhong's fishing boat.
Your uncle Zhong's fishing boat has been resting for the past few days. He has not been out of the boat so he can stay at home.
If there is a chance to take care of him in the future, let him take care of him. "The village chief grandpa said to Chen Xiaoyun.
"Well, if there is a chance in the future, I will give him a hand, provided that he has good character." Chen Xiaoyun nodded, and if I can give him a hand in the future, I will give him a hand.
"We have watched this child grow up. He has a very good character. Don't worry. If his character were not good, I wouldn't dare ask you to help him." The village chief grandpa said with certainty.
After the food was bought, everyone started helping to cook the food enthusiastically, and the atmosphere was very good.
Chen Xiaoyun also went to help with the cooking and was not idle.
"Xiaoyun, have you found someone to date? My aunt has a niece who is very handsome." An aunt asked Chen Xiaoyun with a smile.
"Aunt, yes, I am in the city and didn't come back with me." Chen Xiaoyun could only make something up out of thin air, otherwise he would definitely be introduced to a blind date.
"That's it. It's a pity that my niece is not blessed with such a handsome baby." The aunt sighed.
Chen Xiaohu, who started the live broadcast on the side, suppressed a smile.
"..."
"The anchor is so pitiful. He starts telling lies at a young age."
"What does pity have to do with being young?"
"Forcibly forced to lie, hey, this is the tragedy of people who are forced to get married."
Chen Xiaoyun stir-fried garlic shrimp with skillful technique and looked very appetizing.
"The anchor is good at cooking!"
“If you live by the sea, you’ll get beef, and the shrimps will be fried in one pot after another. I’m envious!”
"I really want to have a banquet at the anchor's house!"
"I saw abalone, crabs..."
There were few people at noon, and only six tables were occupied, mainly because the children in the village were at school.
I made eight dishes for lunch, including stir-fried lettuce, stir-fried water spinach, steamed grouper, boiled chicken, roast duck, roast goose, garlic shrimp, and abalone tofu soup.
"This garlic shrimp must be stir-fried by Xiaoyun. It's good and very fragrant." An uncle praised after eating a shrimp.
"It's really good, not worse than those chefs." The village chief grandpa also said.
"This kid has some talent in cooking and the food he cooks is pretty good." The second grandfather also said with a smile.
"Come and have a drink!"
Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them.
"Hey, if our village can also develop tourism, there won't be so many people going out to work." The village chief grandpa sighed after finishing his drink.
"No way, compared to the scenery, our place is really not as good as Gulang Town." An uncle said.
"It's hard to go fishing now. Sometimes we don't have enough gas money to go out." Uncle Min Zhong also said with a slightly sad expression.
…
After everyone finished eating at noon, they all went to enjoy the shade under the big tree in the village square.
Those who had something to do also went to do their business.
Chen Xiaoyun called Chen Xiaohu and Chen Xiaonan and came to the back of his house.
"Brother Xiaoyun, why did you call us here?" Chen Xiaohu asked.
"Come and help me dig out a field. I plan to plant two acres of lotus roots." Chen Xiaoyun said.
"How long will it take to dig for this sunny day?" Chen Xiaohu felt a little bitter. It was really scary to dig two acres of wasteland.
"Brother Xiaoyun, I have a field plowing machine at home. How about I drive it? It's too laborious to dig it manually." Chen Xiaonan said from the side.
"That's right, the field digging machine will be out soon, and it won't kill anyone." Chen Xiaohu hurriedly agreed.
"Okay, please, Xiao Nan!" Chen Xiaoyun said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
He had not been in the countryside for a long time, and he didn't even know that he was now using field threshers to plow the fields.
"It's okay, Brother Xiaoyun!"
Chen Xiaonan quickly drove the field threshing machine. This machine is not big and easy to operate.
"Brother Xiaoyun, what are those two fields?" Chen Xiaonan asked.
"Just rely on these two pieces of land near my house." Chen Xiaoyun said, pointing to two pieces of wasteland that were two acres in size.
"OK!"
Driving the field plowing machine, Chen Xiaonan quickly plowed the two acres of land.
"Sorry to trouble you, Xiaonan!" Chen Xiaoyun said thanks.
"No trouble, it's just a matter of convenience." Chen Xiaonan scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.
Chen Xiaoyun took the opportunity to block the water outlet of this wasteland and store some water.
He plans to buy some eels, loaches, and lobster seedlings to raise inside.
There were more people at the dinner, and it was also very lively. The children in the village came back from school and were noisy, which gave the village with not many people a bit more of a fireworks atmosphere.
Chen Xiaoyun was very happy, so he sat with his uncles and drank wine, chatting with them.
The dishes in the evening are also very rich!
Braised prawns, garlic prawns, steamed crabs, steamed grouper, braised abalone, roast duck, roast goose, chicken with mushrooms, braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried cabbage cores...
It was lively and lively, and the children ate happily. Unless there was a banquet in the village, no one would be willing to eat like this every day.
"Xiao Yun, you young people have smart minds. What can we do in our village to make money and make everyone rich?" Chen Jianbing, the grandfather of the village chief, asked during the dinner.
"Grandpa, village chief, our village does not have any advantages. There is no port or wharf to the sea. Although the scenery is beautiful, it is somewhat different from that in Gulang Town.
Nowadays, there are many people farming, and it is difficult to go out to sea to fish. It is a bit difficult to develop. "Chen Xiaoyun shook his head.
There are too many seaside towns and small fishing villages, and Chenjiacun is really not outstanding.
If the scenery is beautiful and attractive, the town will support the development of tourism.
The only thing about Chenjia Village that has a lot of paddy fields is that it is a small fish village with three to four hundred acres of paddy fields.
There is a mountain behind the village. The mountain range is quite high, about 300 to 400 meters high, and the trees on the mountain are lush and green.
After hearing Chen Xiaoyun's words, village chief Chen Jianbing looked a little disappointed.
Indeed, if tourism could be developed, it would have been launched long ago. In other industries, Chenjiacun really does not have an advantage.
Nowadays, the people who stay in Chenjiacun, like Uncle Chen Minzhong, who are in their forties, are old and young, and they cannot leave the village.
In a word, the people who stayed in the village were not well off economically.
Otherwise, they would have moved away from the village long ago and gone to the town or county.
Guarding a small fishing village, there is no profit from fishing, so you can only rely on farming, growing lychees, longans, mangoes, etc. How can you get better?
