As for another direction of rural development—do villagers have their own unique crafts?
You spent the first 20 years farming in the loess, and the next 20 years carried your luggage and worked all over the country... What unique craftsmanship can withstand such hardship?
Weaving a straw mat or a basket, becoming a carpenter or a mason, this is what they can do now.
Mrs. Tang looked at Party Secretary Xiao Zhu: "It has no characteristics. Even if the road is built, it will not attract people to stay. The only way to develop is for Xiao Song to plant some good vegetable seedlings."
“It doesn’t matter whether the villagers sell it themselves, or it is purchased by them, or they attract people from the surrounding area to drive to buy it, it doesn’t matter.”
Nowadays, people invest more and more in food, and there are many people who drive for several hours just to have a meal.
Although grocery shopping may not happen every day, if a region can let people from all over the country know that the food here is good, then there will be no worries in the future as long as they grasp it.
Xiao Zhu, the party secretary, mused: "If it really becomes large-scale, we can do a traffic diversion activity, such as a ten-yuan ticket to let everyone pick vegetables in the fields."
In the early stage, their towns and villages can apply for some subsidies, but as long as everyone has this concept in mind, there will be more and more people in the village in the later stage.
As young people make money, more and more people are willing to return to their hometowns for development. When the time comes, farmhouses, fishing areas, etc. will slowly develop. Step by step, everyone's life will always be better.
Teacher Tang nodded: "That's the truth, but the details depend on the seedlings given by Xiao Song."
This is Professor Song’s turn.
He took the notebook and flipped through it twice. The first thing he wanted to do was to praise Song Tan: "The confidentiality work was done well. I still don't know what improvements you used... But this is a good thing."
Professor Song reminded her: "You have to keep vigilant like this - and then the strawberry seedlings you improved in the past two months performed quite well at Tian Tian's house."
Tian Tian’s family are all meticulous people, and they have sorted out the daily changes one by one. Professor Song has only seen it in person a few times, and he already knows that it is indeed different from ordinary ones.
"You have all tasted the flavor of the strawberries I brought before. Of course it is incomparable to the ones we have at home, but compared to those on the market... I sent it to the student and asked him to find someone to compare it with. His side I also sent some fresh ones... It’s different, it’s really different.”
“Just like those radish and cabbage seedlings you gave out before, they are a bit tastier than those sold in the market. Even those who are not sensitive to taste can eat them.”
Professor Song laughed: "Song Tan, you are the core competitiveness of the entire village."
But how to ensure that this competitiveness is not coveted by others and how to maintain a harmonious relationship with the people in the village is the scope of Xiaozhu's party secretary.
Everything he can do should be done on the land: "It just happened that Yan Ran and the others came over. If the villagers are interested and bold enough, they might as well ask a few students to help look after and clean up their wasteland scientifically. Management, spending a lot of labor and not touching the medicine.”
“When spring comes, Song Tan will plant some vegetable seedlings, which will provide some income.”
There is no problem with the trust of the people in the village. After all, those who grew radishes and cabbages in the past few days have earned a lot of money.
In addition, it doesn’t cost much to clean up your own land. Anyone with a little foresight will definitely be willing to change it.
It’s just that the seedlings planted by Song Tan cannot be given in vain—
“Song Tan, do you have anything on your mind?”
Song Tan’s idea is very simple—
"Work for my family! Work in exchange for seedlings. Let me discuss the specific work, Xiaozhu Party Secretary."
Party Secretary Xiao Zhu nodded: "Okay! Just wait, I will release this news one after another during this period - by the way, Li Fuqiang's contract will be signed tomorrow. When do you plan to start construction of your B&B?"
The progress of building houses in rural areas is still very fast, and it should be completed by Qingming Festival at the latest.
“Where’s Lu Chuan’s?” Party Secretary Xiao Zhu looked at Song Tan. Song Tan was helpless: "Then how do I know? He should be about the same - I'll call him."
Lu Chuan had avoided talking about his career early in the morning, and now he was wandering around the greenhouse with Qin Yun, making the two of them salivate.
"Just...everyone has been transferred in. Send a message to Song Tan and let us have a few bites!"
“That’s right, otherwise building this greenhouse would be in vain - Chuan’er, my yard is also 100 square meters. Do you think if I build a greenhouse and buy some good seedlings from Song Tan, can I grow something like this?”
What's more, Lu Chuan looked at him and suddenly asked: "Is the pot of amaryllis I gave you last year still alive?"
Not to mention suspicious silence.
Just...I don’t know why, but I just died of it anyway.
Lu Chuan closed his eyes: "Amaryllis, in the eyes of us flower growers, is easier to raise than pigs... Even if you don't care about anything, you just put its bulbs on a pot of soil!"
"I know, I know. Didn't you give me the instructions?" What's more, "I just watched it for a long time without taking root. I was afraid that it wouldn't take root, so I picked it up and looked at it a few times..."
Qin Yun laughed wildly at the side: "My pot is very good. My wife is very good at growing flowers. Look at this photo!"
He took out his mobile phone and showed it. Lu Chuan looked at the pot of amaryllis with the bulbs buried tightly. It was indeed alive.
However, it’s just living.
He was silent for a long time, apparently recalling whether he had written the planting instructions clearly.
Or maybe the video explanation is wrong?
Looking at his appearance, Qin Yun gradually calmed down.
The two brothers looked at each other and clearly confirmed that they no longer had the talent to be farmers.
However, it was rare for the three of them to go out for a walk, so Qin Yun was still curious: "Chuan'er, you are not a lover, are you?"
“We’ve only been dating for two days, why are you willing to spend millions to stay in a B&B in the village? Don’t blame me for what you said. If we break up in the future..."
What he said may be something he is also worried about.
After all, Song Tan's love showed too quickly, and it was easy to think of loss. When the time comes to break up, but there is still property in the village, it is inevitable that there will be another quarrel.
Even though the two brothers were unreliable, they knew that Lu Chuan had never been in love for so many years. If they broke up...
Would it be impossible to recover after a fall?
The two of them were full of hope, hoping that Lu Chuan would say something safe, but the other party was uncharacteristically different. Instead, he raised the corners of his lips with a satisfied expression:
“She won’t.”
“Haven’t you noticed? Not only do I need to clarify my identity before investing in feelings, but Song Tan also needs to do so.”
“Her generosity and ease lie in the fact that she is not afraid of being hurt. After all, she has the ability to live and work.”
“What a coincidence, so am I.”
