I am the castle master

Chapter 8 The Future Castle

"Are you full enough to eat? Are you free to do anything? Go scratch the wall if you owe your hand..."

Grandma was a little dumbfounded, "Can fish be raised in this pond? It would be good to plant some lotus roots. There used to be a lot of water here, but now it's almost dry."

The old lady was sarcastic, which was not serious.

Don't harm your grandson like this!
"Grandma, you... well, the land here is so expensive, wouldn't it be a pity not to use it?"

He pointed to the winding creek flowing down from the mountain and flowing into the big river in the distance, and said: "Anyway, this piece of land belongs to our family, and it will be worthwhile to spend a little effort. If it is opened, the brook can flow into our pond.”

This piece of land in the south of the Yangtze River has a lot of water and bridges, and there are small bridges and flowing water everywhere. This depression can't even grow rice. Isn't it a waste to leave it so barren?
"The stream will stop flowing when there is a drought, and it will flow sometimes. Is this possible?"

"Grandma, if the stream flows heavily, it won't work, it won't flood our land."

Grandma couldn't resist him, and saw that he had salvaged the weeds, branches, and garbage from the pond and piled them up like a hill, which was almost dry in the wind and sun, so she gathered them together with a rake and set them on fire.

"Burning these can also be used as fertilizer for growing vegetables!"

"Hey, it's still grandma's idea, I'm still thinking about how to dispose of these rubbish!"

The water in the small river is quite clear. Tomorrow he is going to ask his neighbor Xia Dashu to see if he can find an excavator to remove the mud here!

"Grandma, it's a pity that the wasteland on the left of our house is left so uncultivated. Whose family in the village owns this land?"

He glanced at a field of pale pink wildflowers in the distance, and wished he could buy this field.

"Oh, that's from the old Wu's family in the village. Their whole family went to Shenzhen to do business a few years ago. They only come back once or twice a year during the Spring Festival and Qingming tomb-sweeping. Now they can't pay much for farming. Look. Isn’t the land around here so barren?”

Grandma helped him clean up the rubbish around him, "Whoever is able to farm here now, we are the old, weak, sick and disabled at home."

He was overjoyed, since no one was farming the land, and he couldn't pay a lot of money, could he buy these lands cheaply.

"Grandma, I want to buy these wastelands."

"You're so full that you have nothing to do, what's the matter? Why buy that!?"

Seeing grandma's immediate rebuttal, he had no choice but to patiently explain: "Grandma, you see, our side extends in all directions, not far from the city, the air is fresh, there are mountains and rivers, and people in the city like to come to such a place." Play! I want to set up a small farmhouse here, and it will definitely make money."

Grandma didn't say anything after hearing this, she seemed to be thinking about something silently, and said after a while: "Boy, don't look at me as an old man, I also watch the news every day and care about national affairs. I also know the farmhouse music you mentioned."

After talking, the old lady stood up, "It will be Qingming soon, Lao Yue's family members are back to sweep the grave, I'll ask you, anyway, no one in his family farms, they are all outside, I'm afraid it won't be here in the future." Will be back!"

Before he had time to speak, grandma went out and came back after a while, "Ah bah! When I heard that you were going to buy his land, the lion opened her mouth and said that his land is agricultural insurance land, which costs at least 20 yuan." ! This is to eat people, I didn't expect the land price to rise so much!"

Qiu Dacheng was so scared that he almost peed, let alone more than 20 yuan, and now his total net worth is less than [-] yuan.

"Forget it! Grandma, who does this pond and this wasteland belong to?"

Grandma smiled slyly and said: "Fortunately, when your grandfather was still alive in the first few years, the land was very cheap at that time. Fortunately, I bought an extra six acres of land at that time. So, is it true that our family has become a family now? Rich people, haha!"

Qiu Dacheng was a little worried and asked quickly, "What about this pond? How to calculate it?"

Grandma smiled proudly and said: "You can't actually do anything with this poor pond. If it is placed in our land, it will be a loss. Of course it belongs to our family."

Only then did Qiu Dacheng feel relieved. By the time the pond was cleaned up, the sun had already set.

He poured all the cleaned up silt into the nearby fields as fertilizer. Seeing the thin spring water flow into the pond, Qiu Dacheng's eyes lit up.

In fact, there is not much water in the stream. After a few sunny days, the mountain spring will be cut off, which is exactly the amount of water needed by the pond.

Qiu Dacheng was so tired that he could hardly get up, lying on the bed, groaning.

After drinking a few sips of the milk his grandma cooked for him, he searched the Internet about lotus root planting techniques and the breeding base of lotus root seedlings, only to find out that there is also a lotus called Thai exotic lotus.

Consult in detail to learn about half a day's knowledge about planting lotus, and know that the place that provides lotus root seedlings is actually not far from their place.

He contacted the lotus root seedlings and said that he would send someone to deliver them to his home tomorrow. He also gave some aquatic plants and helped guide how to plant them. Qiu Dacheng was happy thinking about it. The only thing is that his wallet has lost weight again, alas!

Knowing that lotus likes calm waters and dislikes flowing rivers, I know that the entrance to the creek over there should be sealed first.

Qiu Dacheng has a great sense of accomplishment in turning an abandoned pond into a geomantic treasure where lotus flowers can be seen in summer and lotus root can be eaten in autumn.

Lying on the bed at night, looking at the photos of the flowers and plants in the garden that I took with my mobile phone during the day, the flowers that my grandma planted are actually blooming very beautifully. I'm a little anxious, Zhang Dandan will come in a few days, how can I make this yard full of flowers.

Thinking of the base called Huamu Nianhua Gardening that I contacted just now, I got up, turned on the computer, and wrote down the detailed address. Anyway, the distance is not too far. When they come to deliver the goods tomorrow, follow their car to see the flowers and plants there. , I personally choose a few pots of flowers that are not here, preferably in full bloom, and put them in the yard. Wouldn't the scenery be more beautiful?

He clicked on Zhang Dandan's WeChat again, and looked at Zhang Dandan's profile picture. This little girl is really aloof. She only called once that day, and sent a message once. Usually she didn't say a word, but she was convinced.

Thinking about how much they loved each other back then, even though they added WeChat now, they didn’t even let him see Moments. Has it become a luxury?
Did this guy have a boyfriend and he was going to get married, so he found a reason to send him the child?
After thinking wildly for a long time, he fell asleep in a daze.

"Chengcheng, Chengcheng! Get up!"

In the morning, he was sleeping soundly, and suddenly he heard grandma calling him.

He sat up in a jerk!

"My God, what time is it!?"
