Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

Fang Wei stayed in Shenzhen for five days before returning to Guangzhou.

The report from Yaoling Agriculture has been submitted, showing that the rice seeds sold out as soon as they went on sale, and there was no backlog at all.

Other seeds are selling a little slower, but overall the situation is still very good.

There was a special situation this season: the company produced a lot of seeds for Nanfeng Wheat 327, but apart from its own use, sales were very low.

This is mainly because the promotion of the new generation of wheat is insufficient. Fortunately, Sun Shili promised to promote it through various channels, so it won't go unsold.

But it will take some time.

There are currently more than a dozen varieties of wheat on the market, including spring wheat and winter wheat. Other brands have high brand recognition and have withstood the test of the market; it won't be easy for [Nanfeng Wheat 327] to gain a foothold in the market overnight.

Fang Wei then called Lin Bingkun to inquire about his sales arrangements.

"The company is planning some promotional activities. As long as there is successful experience in planting, I believe it will arouse everyone's interest."

Lin Bingkun was quite optimistic, after all, the yield and quality of [Nanfeng Wheat 327] were there for all to see, and it would be quickly accepted by everyone as long as someone planted it.

"As long as you have a plan, that's fine."

Fang Wei didn't say much. He felt that the other party's plan was feasible, but there was no need to rush it.

Time flies.

Fang Wei stayed in Guangzhou for a while, and after Cai Tong and Hu Linwei finished their inspection and returned to the group company, he returned to the village.

Perhaps because he's used to living in the village, he doesn't actually like spending long periods of time in big cities.

With convenient communication and transportation, his staying in the village does not affect his control over the company.

"Third brother, you're finally back! I've been so bored staying at home all by myself."

That evening, Pan Lianhua cooked a few dishes and even had a few drinks with the man.

Fang Wei and her older sister are not home these days, and she feels very bored by herself. She basically eats all three meals a day in the cafeteria.

"Then why don't you take a break? Or how about we go for a walk in the mountains in a couple of days?"

Fang Wei gave an apologetic look and then suggested that she wanted to go to the mountains to take a look.

Pan Lianhua smiled and nodded. She had been living a very monotonous life for some time and had long wanted to go out for a walk.

After two busy days in the office, Fang Wei finished up some work and then took a trip to the mountains with his wife on a nice day.

Now it's much easier to get into the mountains. With the mountain roads, they can drive up the mountain and all the way to this valley.

"Third Brother, this valley has really changed a lot."

The valley is filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, and the sound of flowing water.

A pavilion and corridor were built by the pool, a small waterfall cascaded down the cliff, and a stream flowed into the distance along the valley.

You can climb the man-made stone steps from the east side of the valley to reach the eastern peak.

Standing in the valley, one feels refreshed and relaxed. Although there are not many man-made buildings, the scenery of the entire valley is even more beautiful after renovation.

For example, this stream is a great place to enjoy water activities.

"Secretary of the Party Committee, Director Pan, this place is not officially open to the public yet. However, we have jointly organized several small events with the Yao village, and the tourists who came here gave it very high praise."

The person in charge of the scenic area construction accompanied the couple on a tour of the valley, and finally they arrived at a service area at the foot of a mountain forest.

The location is quite secluded, with some wooden cabins built against a large forest. In addition to the scenic area office, it also provides services such as catering, drinking water supply, and a small shop.

In the future, this place can be used as a separate scenic spot or as an extension of the Yao village tourism route.

"That's good! You go ahead and get busy, we'll sit for a while and then leave."

The car stopped outside the valley. Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua sat in front of the cabin for a while, drank a cup of tea, and then got up and left.

The temperature in the valley is lower than outside, making it a great place to escape the summer heat.

After emerging from the valley, the two began their trek.

Road construction continues in the distance, and there's more than one road. One road leads to the back mountain of the Yao village, and another leads to the back mountain of Sanqing Temple.

Once the project is completed, the mountain road will connect the valley, Yao village, Sanqing Temple, and primeval forest.

Pan Lianhua pondered that during their break, they could come and play in the valley with the staff. The valley has all the basic facilities, and the service area also offers various services, including the rental of barbecue equipment.

It's a great place for everyone to come here, hike, enjoy the scenery, and have a barbecue.

The two wandered around in the woods for a while, and Fang Wei decided to set a trap to catch two rabbits to take back and eat. This was not difficult for him, and with Pan Lianhua's help, they quickly caught two wild rabbits.

"Third Brother, they don't allow catching rabbits in the mountains."

Carrying her harvest, Pan Lianhua made a joke amidst her joy.

The forestry company has contracted such a large area of ​​forest, and the rules are very strict, prohibiting any individual or tourist from capturing or hunting wild animals without permission.

Ignoring warnings may result in fines, administrative penalties, or even criminal charges.

"Lotus, you can't say that. I reported it to the forestry company a long time ago." Fang Wei laughed heartily. How could he make such a mistake? He had reported it to the forestry company long ago, and there was a record of it.

Even if he didn't report it, it wouldn't be a problem. Who would bother him?

He just didn't want to give people something to say; it's just filling out a form, it's not that troublesome.

Carrying the rabbit, the two headed straight for the pine forest where swan mushrooms grew. After processing the rabbit by the stream, they took out the drinking water they had brought, drank some water, rested for a while, and then went to pick swan mushrooms.

When the two drove home, it was exactly noon.

Now that there's a road leading up the mountain, it's really convenient to go there, mainly because it saves a lot of time. Even if there's no road access to many places, it's not a problem; you can just get off at the nearest stop, and it's not far to walk there anyway.

Pan Lianhua then went to cook, making a braised rabbit, a stir-fried swan mushroom, and a vegetable dish. The two then began to eat lunch.

I took a nap at noon, and after waking up, I started preparing the swan mushrooms. I kept some to eat in the next couple of days, and dried the rest so I can bring some dried mushrooms to Binbin and Xiaojie later.

The next day.

Fang Weiyi went to the county town early in the morning.

Today is the day that the Nanyuan Garden community begins to hand over its keys. The scene is lively, and every homeowner who receives their keys is all smiles.

"Tiger, what are you doing here?"

Fang Weijiu was just like an ordinary homeowner, watching the excitement at the scene, when he inadvertently saw Zheng Hu.

Zheng Hu is currently riding high. Although his rank is not high, only that of a section chief, he is still the head of his unit.

"I bought a house and am moving in today, so I took half a day off."

Zheng Hu replied with a smile, and Fang Wei then noticed that the other party had come with his wife.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zheng Hu and his wife went to collect the keys and invited Fang Wei to come and see their new home.

Since he had nothing else to do at the moment, he went with Zheng Hu and his wife to their new house. The house was not yet renovated, and it was over 100 square meters in size, facing north and south.

"Tiger, why didn't you tell me you wanted to buy a house sooner? I could have gotten you a discount."

Fang Wei guessed that Zheng Hu probably bought the house for his son, since the other party was already a section-level cadre and the house allocated by his work unit was not bad.

"Why would I need to contact you? I could have just gone directly to the real estate company and gotten a good discount. But honestly, unfinished apartments are a hassle; I'll have to renovate them myself later."

Zheng Hu laughed heartily; he was very familiar with many people in Yaoling Company.

For ordinary matters, there's really no need to come to Fang Wei; anyone can handle it perfectly.

"That's true, after all, you came from Yaoling Township."

Fang Wei didn't respond to the topic of unfinished houses. His subordinates had reported on this matter, and now fully furnished houses are actually harder to sell; everyone prefers to oversee the renovations themselves.

These days, the trend in home renovation is to build furniture directly from the wall, and some cabinets are even nailed to the wall.

It's really hard for a fully furnished apartment to meet people's aesthetic preferences.

"Tiger, sister-in-law, you're busy. Let's get together when you have some free time."

Fang Wei didn't stay long; he looked around the house and then took his leave.

Generally speaking, the customers who received their keys today are satisfied with the quality of the houses; Fang Wei, in any case, didn't see anyone causing trouble.

Around noon, Pan Lianhua arrived, and the couple went to Linhe Restaurant for lunch before leisurely returning home.

"Third Brother, the houses in Nanlu Garden are selling well. Two of the factory's deputy directors have bought houses there."

The deputy director of the bamboo ware factory was hired from outside. Although he had worked at the factory for many years, it was impossible for him to be allocated housing in the village.

Both of them have decent incomes and plan to work in the factory long-term, so it's reasonable for them to take this opportunity to buy a house in the county town.

Fang Wei thought these two comrades had good taste. Although it was a house in a small county town, it was really cheap. There was no way they could lose money if they bought it now.

"Wait, Lotus, I heard they bought a house in the provincial capital too?"

While he was reflecting on this, Fang Wei suddenly remembered something else and asked casually.

"Yes what's the matter?"

Pan Lianhua didn't understand what the man meant at first, and her face was full of question marks.

"It's nothing, I just think they're surprisingly good at saving money."

As the deputy director of a bamboo ware factory, it's not easy to afford two houses, whether it's paid in full or with a mortgage.

However, with everyone's income steadily increasing, a little overspending is not a problem.

"Yeah, those two guys are both very stingy. They always wear work clothes, don't drink or smoke, and go straight home after get off work. They're definitely good family men."

Pan Lianhua then realized what was going on, and when she thought about how the two of them were usually so stingy, she found it quite amusing.

"It seems that our salary level is still not enough. General Manager Cai and General Manager Hu mentioned this issue a few days ago. It is estimated that we can increase the salaries of all employees by about 20% this year."

Although the issue of a wage increase hasn't been finalized yet, it's been put on the agenda and a result should be available soon. (End of Chapter)
