When we arrived at Sun Fuqiang's house, his door was already full of people sunbathing.
As the village chief, Sun Fuqiang carries a fleet of nearly ten people. There are usually many people who come to him to do business and establish relationships, so there are always people in his house all year round.
Seeing Sun Fuqiang coming with the Shen family and his son, someone said hello to Shen Changlin. When he saw Shen Chi, he couldn't help joking: "You are a good godfather. You are bringing your godson here for dinner." Bar."
"My godson is a noble member of my family. With the help of my godson, my Taozi has now jumped to the fifth grade. How jealous are you?" Sun Fuqiang laughed heartily.
The crowd cast questioning glances: "Really?"
"Can this be faked? The principal personally supervised the exam during registration in the morning. Taozi scored 93 in math and 80 in Chinese. He has already registered and is in fifth grade." Sun Fuqiang said proudly.
Everyone's minds immediately turned away. When they returned home, they told their children to have more contact with Shen Chi in the future. It would be best to get his help and skip a grade like Sun Tao.
When Liu Cuihua heard that her son had joined Shen Chi's class, she was so happy that she cut meat and fish, and wanted to treat Shen Chi and the others well.
As soon as Shen Fang got off the bus, she went to play with Sun Tao's second sister, Sun Xia. They were about the same age and in the same grade, and they were familiar with each other from time to time, so they felt comfortable getting along with each other.
Sun Fuqiang moved the bench and Shen Changlin sat with everyone at the door to bask in the sun, chatting about the upcoming vegetable business.
Sun Tao took Shen Chi to his room and presented his Western paintings and toys to Shen Chi. The eldest sister Sun Ling helped Liu Cuihua cook in the kitchen.
When it was time to eat, the people sunbathing at the door stood up and left one after another. Even Sun Fuqiang refused to let them eat.
During the dinner, Sun Fuqiang expressed his gratitude to Shen Chi again and again. Shen Chi replied humbly: "Godfather, now we are all a family. Isn't it right for me to help Sun Tao? If you thank me like this again, you are out of touch. ah."
"This kid can talk." Liu Cuihua smiled happily when she heard this and gave Shen Chi a piece of braised pork.
Sun Fuqiang also smiled and said: "Okay, godfather, I won't say anything anymore, I won't say anything anymore."
After saying that, he persuaded Shen Changlin to eat vegetables, and the two of them chatted about the vegetable business after the spring.
Because there will be a window of two or three months from planting to picking vegetables after the holidays, during this period Sun Fuqiang's fleet will be faced with the dilemma of having no vegetables to sell. Shen Changlin is very worried about this.
"There will be two or three months after the new year when there will be no vegetables to sell, but I have another way." Sun Fuqiang said with a mysterious face and said to Shen Changlin: "I want to tell you something, you must not spread it. "
Seeing that he spoke solemnly, Shen Changlin replied with a serious face: "What's the matter? Just say it."
Sun Fuqing said in a slightly lowered voice: "Didn't there be a heavy snowfall in the mountain town where our village is located last year? When the snow melted, a piece of the hillside collapsed. Erxizi picked up a stone from the landslide, and there was glass inside.
Some people say that it is crystal. There may be a crystal mine in our village. I have sent people to take the stone to the provincial capital for appraisal. If it is true, we will distribute it."
Shen Chi was shocked when he heard this. Didn't Tangsun Village discover the crystal stone a year later in his previous life? If you think about it carefully, it is very likely that the crystal stone had been discovered a long time ago, but the people in Tangsun Village kept it a secret. The real outbreak was After one year.
Speaking of this crystal rough stone, it is strange that Qishan Village, Caojia Village, Wujiawan and other villages are very close to the villages where the original stone was found. However, the distribution of this crystal ore is only in Tangsun Village, Shangwang Village, and Xiajiawan Village. There are four villages: Wangcun and Liujiabacun.
Not only on the mountains, but also under the cultivated farmland and vegetable fields. During that time, people from the four villages were digging all over the mountains and plains, because the mountainous land was owned by the village collective, and only people from the four villages could dig crystal stones. Those from other villages could not dig crystal stones.
People can only look on with envy.
But precisely because of this, after nearly ten years of digging, even the rock layers were exposed, the crystal stones were dug out, and all the forest and cultivated land were destroyed. These four villages became barren land.
At that time, the environmental destruction of these four villages was even included in the news column of the provincial TV station along with the chemical plant in Qishan Village, which had a great impact.
Later, Song Town developed the ancient town to develop the tourism economy. Tangsun Village, Shangwang Village, Xiawang Village, Liujiaba Village and Qishan Village were the five villages that did not benefit from tourism dividends.
Because the environment was too damaged to be restored, the B&B joint venture plan later launched by Song Town had no choice but to exclude these five villages.
They were lucky in Tangsun Village. Because of the crystal ore dug out earlier, almost everyone in these villages went outside to learn the art of crystal processing. After the crystals were dug out, the villagers simply purchased the raw crystal stones from other places and continued to process the crystals.
Selling products can be a good way of making a living by relying on Songzhen's tourist popularity.
The worst sufferers were the people of Qishan Village. Because of their short-sightedness, they introduced a chemical factory. The electric lime and lime water produced in the factory had an even worse impact on the surrounding environment than Tangsun Village. The entire Qishan Village was once uninhabitable.
Sun Fuqiang's words reminded Shen Chi of two major events that changed the fate of these villages in his previous life. In his previous life, because he was not so close to Sun Tao, he did not know in advance about the discovery of the original crystal stone in Tangsun Village like he did today.
Although he knew that digging crystals would have a negative impact on Tangsun Village, Shen Chi felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart because he saw Sun Fuqiang's face flushed with excitement. Obviously, if Shen Chi could not stop what was about to happen,
What's going to happen.
Sun Fuqiang said excitedly, but Shen Changlin smiled bitterly and said: "Fuqiang, I am not from your village. Even if I have crystals, I am not qualified to dig them."
Sun Fuqiang waved his hand proudly: "If you really want crystal, I will give you a piece of my land."
Shen Changlin's face lit up when he heard this, and then he shook his head sternly and said: "Forget it, if you really have crystal, you won't be selling vegetables anymore. I'll do it myself."
"Why are you selling it when you have crystals? You can't make much money. I will give you a piece of my own land, and I guarantee that no one will dare to say anything to you." Sun Fuqiang advised.
Shen Changlin is an honest man. He only earns the money he thinks he should earn. When faced with Sun Fuqiang's persuasion, he just smiled and said nothing.
Facing the wheel of history, Shen Chi felt powerless. He could not stop Sun Fuqiang and others from digging crystals, let alone selling them.
When money is still valuable now, crystals cannot be sold at a high price. When the RMB depreciates in the future, the money people in several villages in Tangsun Village sell crystals and deposit in banks will be greatly reduced. This is also why the people in these villages in their previous lives
Obviously they have saved some wealth through crystals, but despite the booming tourism economy in Song Town, they are unable to spend money to change the environment of their village because their assets have been diluted.
