Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 302 What is the allure of this Peach Blossom Village?
Hu Hai is rich; even without a discount, he can afford it.

It's just a matter of whether it's necessary or not.

He did this partly to advertise the agritainment businesses in Chilongtan.

Xu Yue also used this as an excuse to give him an extremely low discount.

There are many wealthy people in this world, and quite a few can afford to host such a celebratory banquet.

The Yuelai Hotel in Yanjing has hosted several wedding banquets like that.

“Speak up if you have any questions,” Xu Yue said. “You’ll be able to grow them yourselves in the future, so those things aren’t anything special.”

"I also look forward to that day."

Hu Hai said with a smile.

If you can grow it yourself, then you will naturally not lack food.

Besides orchards and gardens, there are also some vegetable gardens around Chilongtan.

Agritourism is a form of self-sufficiency.

However, this is clearly not enough for organizing a banquet like this.

Hu Hai actually hopes to replicate "Chilongtan" across the country.

"You're busy, we're going fishing."

Xu Yue then spoke to Hu Hai.

Hu Hai had to entertain the guests, so he couldn't possibly go fishing with them.

If they weren't missing one player, Mu Xiaoyan might not have had time to play mahjong with Zhang Ruoxi.

"In the blink of an eye, you've all gotten married one after another! Lu Zhenyu should be getting married next year too, right?"

A group of people went fishing at the reservoir, but Shen Yu suddenly sighed and said something.

"Yeah, I'm about to become a father, and you guys are still single," Xu Yue said with a smile. "Aren't you worried at all?"

"What's the rush?" Tie Wei said. "Marriage is the grave of love. I'd better just enjoy my love."

"What you call love?" Xu Yue said with a sneer. "Besides, there's nothing wrong with marriage being the grave of love; it's better than dying without a burial place."

Is love without a marriage contract doomed to die without a burial place?

These words left Tie Wei and the others speechless.

However, marriage is out of the question.

At least for now, they don't have that in mind.

Find a beautiful woman, have a short-lived romance, then find another one, and repeat the cycle—isn't that appealing?
How can a man be so fixated on one person?

For dinner, Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi stayed at the guesthouse, while Xu Jianghe and Wang Yun returned to Jincheng and stayed at Wang Yun's parents' house.

"Did Wang Yun's parents say when they're going to Taoyuan Village?"

Zhang Ruoxi stood on the balcony, gazing at the scenery of the reservoir, and casually asked a question.

Unlike Taoyuan Village, this reservoir doesn't have any light shows.

However, the night has a unique kind of beauty.

"I guess they went together," Xu Yue said. "However, they probably drove there themselves."

Wang Yun's parents are both under sixty and take good care of themselves, so they are in good health.

They drove themselves to Taoyuan Village last time.

"I heard you raised the villagers' wages again?"

Zhang Ruoxi suddenly asked.

"No increase!" Xu Yue shook his head and said, "The year-end bonus has increased a bit. The agricultural trade company held an annual meeting, but it was difficult to hold one at the farm, so we gave out more year-end bonuses."

Zhang Ruoxi nodded.

“The salary is already quite high,” Xu Yue said. “If it increases again, it will have a negative impact.”

Farm wages are high, and many people want to work there but can't.

Especially in the villages near the farm, the village committee leaders from those areas would come to the farm every few days.

The villages are adjacent, but the differences between them are too great, so it's natural for them to feel unbalanced.

Villagers go to the village committee, the village committee goes to the farm, and if that doesn't work, they go to the town leaders.
The pressure is considerable at the town, district, and even city levels.

If prices rise again, it would be strange if those people didn't cause a huge uproar.

Besides, the wages and benefits in the city are not as good as those on the farm. Wouldn't people from other companies have objections?

Disrupting market prices inevitably breeds resentment.

Of course, Xu Yue wasn't afraid.

But some trouble is unnecessary.

He was also afraid that the villagers' desires would be aroused.

When desires are not satisfied, people will not be grateful, but will hold grudges.

Xu Yue actually wanted the price to rise.

He didn't think that much about it.

He was simply persuaded to stop by Tian Yizhi.

"It would be great if they gave us more benefits."

Zhang Ruoxi understood Xu Yue, and she actually wanted to give him some advice.

Xu Yue is not a qualified businessman.

In Zhang Ruoxi's opinion, she was far less qualified than her.

The next day, Chilongtan Reservoir gradually became lively.

Xu Jianghe and Wang Yun also arrived early.

After lunch, the four said their goodbyes and left.

I need to go to the airport to pick someone up.

"Then I won't keep you any longer," Hu Hai said. "When I go back to Taoyuan Village, I'll come to your house for a meal."

Xu Yue smiled and agreed.

The four of them went to the airport in two cars.

We picked them up a little after 3 p.m.

Xu Yue also met Zhang Ruohai's girlfriend, Xue Yan.

She's a pretty young girl.

What surprised Xu Yue was that Xue Yan actually knew martial arts.

However, he didn't meet Xu Yue's standards.

Those who haven't reached the second realm are indeed somewhat unappealing to Xu Yue.

Zhang Zelin and his wife got into Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi's car.

Zhang Ruohai and Xue Yan got into Xu Jianghe and Wang Yun's car.

"Look familiar?"

Seeing that Xue Yan kept looking at her, Wang Yun smiled and said something.

"Are you Wang Yurou?"

Xue Yan asked, somewhat surprised.

Wang Yurou's marriage caused quite a stir in the entertainment industry.

After all, she hadn't been romantically linked to anyone before this.

However, those reports all said he married into a wealthy family.

The wedding banquet was reported.

The dishes served at her wedding banquet were all top-notch; how could it be possible if she weren't from a wealthy family?

Moreover, many high-ranking officials from Shuzhou were present.

But unexpectedly, she married someone from the countryside!

But thinking about it, didn't Sister Ruoxi also marry into the countryside?
Even her grandparents and maternal grandparents have moved to the countryside and never returned.

Remembering how her grandfather sighed and lamented about losing a chess partner, Xue Yan became even more curious about Taoyuan Village.

What is the charm of this Peach Blossom Village?

"Wang Yurou is my stage name," Wang Yun said. "My real name is Wang Yun. You can call me Sister Wang Yun!"

"sister?"

Xue Yan was somewhat surprised.

She had just heard Zhang Ruohai call Xu Jianghe "Third Uncle".

How can you call your third uncle's wife "sister"?
Isn't this creating chaos?
“We all call each other by our own names, and we’ve gotten used to it, so we haven’t changed it,” Zhang Ruohai said. “Sister Wang Yun isn’t much older than us, and Uncle San isn’t much older than us either.”

Wang Yun and Xu Jianghe smiled.

They're at least old enough to be considered adults.

But the little one in her belly was much smaller than the two younger ones in Ruoxi's belly.

Zhang Ruohai and Xue Yan started chatting with Wang Yun.

While Xu Yue's side was reasonable, it was mostly Yang Qingyi and Zhang Ruoxi who were talking.

The topic of our conversation was just one thing: pregnancy.

Yang Qingyi was sharing her experience with Zhang Ruoxi, and occasionally she would remind Xu Yue.

“We go to the hospital for regular check-ups,” Xu Yue said. “We also go to the clinic from time to time to have Old Xu take our pulse.”

With the renowned traditional Chinese medicine master, Mr. Xu, residing in the village and regularly visiting the hospital, coupled with Zhang Ruoxi's already good health, there was no need to worry too much despite her twin pregnancy.

Aren't you worried?
That is impossible.

Even if both adults and children are healthy.

Let alone Zhang Ruoxi's parents who are far away in Yanjing, even Xu's parents-in-law and himself, who are with each other every day, would feel worried.

There's no other reason; it's because I care.

“Our family doesn’t have a twin gene, and you don’t seem to have had twins either, right?” Zhang Zelin suddenly said. “You’re pregnant with twins, could it be because you’ve both cultivated?” “Our family doesn’t have a twin gene, so it’s possible to have twins,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “It has nothing to do with cultivation.”

Zhang Zelin gave an awkward smile.

Are your grandparents alright?

Zhang Zelin then changed the subject.

I'm still a little embarrassed to talk about this.

My parents got old and ended up living with their son-in-law.

As both a son and a father-in-law, he naturally felt a little embarrassed.

But how?
Force parents to return to Yanjing?

Obviously impossible.

The other party is unwilling, and it's not good for their health either.

“It’s all good,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “They go to the fields to work from time to time. Grandpa occasionally plays chess with people in the village, and Grandma has planted some flowers in the yard. Grandpa goes fishing occasionally, and Grandma often helps out at the clinic.”

"Aren't they tired from working in the fields?" Yang Qingyi asked.

After all, I'm getting old, and more importantly, I've never worked in the fields before.

Zhang Ruoxi's grandparents were intellectuals who taught and nurtured students, while her maternal grandfather was a retired soldier and her maternal grandmother was a retired military hospital worker.

People who have never done farm work simply cannot adapt to that kind of labor intensity.

“No!” Zhang Ruoxi said, “I taught them breathing techniques. Not only will they not get tired when doing farm work, their health will actually improve.”

Zhang Zelin and Yang Qingyi exchanged a glance and said nothing more.

They naturally knew quite a bit about this.

Zhang Ruoxi also passed on their stories.

They've all turned their villa backyards into vegetable gardens now.

They even rented some low-rise apartments in the suburbs, and would go there to stroll around in their spare time.

Unfortunately, I was ultimately held back too much by company matters.

However, they all regained a sense of Qi, and their health improved considerably.

Which wealthy person doesn't want to have good health?

After picking up the person, they didn't go back to Chilongtan Reservoir for dinner, but went straight back to Taoyuan Village.

This was naturally announced to Hu Hai and Mu Xiaoyan.

Upon returning to Taoyuan Village, Xu Yue drove directly to the guesthouse.

They all chose to stay in guesthouses on the mountaintop instead of the small courtyard where Zhang Ruoxi's grandmother and her family lived.

After putting down their luggage, they didn't linger but went to Xu Yue's villa.

A big gathering tonight.

When they arrived, Xu Chengyang was already there, talking to Wang Yun's parents.

Wang Yun's parents arrived before them.

Xu Yue and his group had just arrived when Zhang Ruoxi's maternal grandmother and the others followed.

They came on foot.

Although they were provided with cars, they were rarely seen driving them.

The villa immediately became lively.

Not long after, Zhang Ruoyu arrived.

What's surprising is that he didn't come alone.

He also brought a woman with him.

The woman's name was Han Lingxue, and both Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi knew her.

Academician Meng was supervising a doctoral student.

Academician Meng led a team to the desert, and Han Lingxue is in charge of Taoyuan Village.

She was also the one who made the fastest progress in practicing breathing techniques.

This is also one of the reasons why Academician Meng didn't take him with him when he went to the desert.

Among those people at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the first to break through to the second realm was none other than Han Lingxue.

Her talent is probably no less than Zhang Ruoxi's.

Because her breathing technique wasn't as good as Zhang Ruoxi's.

Han Lingxue is a pretty girl. Perhaps because she reads a lot, she has a natural scholarly air about her. Now that she has cultivated herself, she has gained an even more refined air.

"Xiao Han, when did you two get together?"

Xu Jin asked, somewhat bewildered.

Zhang Qiming wasn't much better off.

Not only were Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi unaware of this, but even Xu Jin and Zhang Qiming were also unaware.

too suddenly.

It's understandable that Xu Yue and Zhang Ruoxi didn't know, since they rarely went to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

But Xu Jin and Zhang Qiming are different.

They do agricultural work not at farms, but at agricultural research institutes.

They even considered introducing Han Lingxue to Zhang Ruoyu.

Han Lingxue not only has connections but is also well-educated, which clearly meets the criteria Zhang Qiming and his wife used to choose a granddaughter-in-law.

"Not long ago!"

It wasn't Han Lingxue who answered Xu Jin, but Zhang Ruoyu.

Han Lingxue's face was very red at this moment.

She didn't want to come, but she had no choice but to.

Her boyfriend's parents are here; can she really just avoid them?

"Good! Good!" Xu Jin said with a smile, "We old folks were just thinking of introducing Xiao Han to you, but you've already made your move."

Everyone else just laughed when they heard that.

Zhang Zelin didn't say anything, but he had a smile on his face.

Daughter-in-law and son-in-law are completely different things.

Yang Qingyi also found Han Lingxue quite pleasing to the eye.

As for whether you are satisfied?

After all, I've never had any experience with it.

But it's not bad, really.

She hadn't met him, but she could deduce something from the attitude of her son's grandparents towards him.

Their eldest son has a girlfriend, and she's quite nice, which has relieved them of a worry.

Xu Yue didn't say anything, and after his initial surprise, he realized he wasn't so surprised after all.

It's only natural for an older single man and woman to get together.

As for why it was Zhang Ruoyu and Han Lingxue?

What a perfect couple!
Zhang Ruoyu's looks are absolutely stunning, and coupled with her military bearing, she possesses a fatal allure that surpasses that of many women.

And what about Han Lingxue?
She's good-looking and cultured.

Both of them were proud and arrogant, and would certainly look down on ordinary people.

But what about "evenly matched"?

So what's so surprising about finding someone you click with?

Moreover, the two had quite a bit of contact.

Besides daily training, Zhang Ruoyu is now in charge of security at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Now that Han Lingxue is in charge of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the two naturally have some interaction.

It's not like they were destined to be together, but they were definitely meant to be.

It was lively with so many people, and luckily the Xu family's house was big enough.

Xu Yue was about to go to the kitchen to help, but soon found that there were no seats available.

Zhang Ruoxi's grandmother and maternal grandmother went into the kitchen, and Wang Yun's mother also went into the kitchen.

Wang Yun and Zhang Ruoxi were also kicked out.

The two of them no longer have the chance to enter the kitchen.

We don't usually let them into the kitchen.

Xu Yue could only drink tea and chat outside.

However, the elderly gathered together to chat, while the young people gathered together.

After all, we were talking about different things.

"Can I touch it?"

This was the first time Xue Yan had seen a giant panda up close, and she couldn't resist the urge to pet it.

So cute.

Han Lingxue was also eager to try.

It wasn't the first time she'd seen Da Bao and his three companions, but she'd never actually masturbated before.

After all, pandas are bears, not cats.

"Xiao Bao, come here!"

Zhang Ruoxi smiled and beckoned to Xiao Bao.

Da Bao and Er Bao glanced at each other but ignored them. Xiao Bao, however, crawled over to Zhang Ruoxi, nuzzled her affectionately, and then lay down beside her.

“Go ahead and pet them!” Zhang Ruoxi said. “They’re used to living here and won’t hurt anyone.”
