"Let nature take its course. It's not that I don't like children, it's just that I want to spend some more time alone with you. If there really is one, I'm very happy too. This is the fruit of our love."
When Shi Jiangyuan heard this, he finally understood.
Because he couldn't see the fake expression on her face, he knew that it was the truth of Kang Ying's words.
The two of them could not help hugging each other tightly. After a while, Kang Ying said, "It's time to get up. Otherwise, with so many people outside and it's too late to wake up, we will be a laughingstock."
After all, they were a newlywed couple and had only returned after leaving home for such a long time. Their every move would definitely attract the attention of everyone in the family.
Besides, although everyone was working together to settle the family down, there would be some matters that needed to be dealt with. There would probably be people who wanted to report to them, so even though Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan couldn't bear to leave this morning, they still reluctantly got out of bed.
There was still a lot of time left for them to be alone, so they could only console themselves for the coming days.
After Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan got out of bed and washed up, they didn't see Shi Tao and Cui Huixian, so they asked the nanny who brought them breakfast.
The nanny said she had eaten and the two of them had gone for a walk in the village.
Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan could eat their breakfast without worrying about anything else. If their parents had not yet celebrated, they would have to wait for them to get up before eating together. After all, they were elders, and the first time they lived here, they still had to treat them with respect.
Breakfast consisted of rice porridge, fried eggs, stir-fried vegetables and a plate of shrimp dumplings. The meat and vegetables were all there and the nutrition was the right combination. This was Kang Ying's favorite light breakfast.
Although Shi Jiangyuan wasn't a complete Southerner, he had lived in the Lu County since he was young, and was also used to this kind of food. After the two of them finished eating, captain Liu Jun came up to report about the work.
While they were away from home, there were no major problems at home. According to Shi Jiangyuan's instructions, the security system was improved and an infrared monitor was installed around the house to ensure that any signs of trouble outside could be seen at a glance.
The surveillance equipment was activated at the same time. All the video material was kept for a month, and the security guards were equipped with the power of a 24-hour rotation to ensure the safety of the place.
Shi Jiangyuan was very satisfied. He agreed with a few words from Liu Jun and told him to do as he said.
The gardener also came in to report. As it was autumn, he had some thoughts about planting flowers in the garden, such as proposing to transplant some chrysanthemums, begonias, hyacinths, and so on. In history, the lowest temperature was -5 degrees Celsius, but it was also extremely rare in the past few decades. Usually, the temperature would be around 7 degrees Celsius, but many flowers were still able to grow and bloom.
After Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan listened to him, they both said that they would grow whatever was appropriate for them. They had no history of allergies, so they could let him do whatever he wanted.
Chef Wu Jiayang listed all of the dishes for the week and invited them to have a look.
After Kang Ying saw the dishes, she added a few more dishes and main dishes that the Northerners liked, and requested that they be served at every meal.
Wu Jiayang had also worked in Beijing before. Because of his experience in this field, Kang Ying accepted him without hesitation.
Wu Jiayang looked at the main dishes and smiled, "It's been a long time since I've cooked northern food. The people from the south are not used to eating these. It's good for them to show off their skills this time."
Seeing that Wu Jiayang was quite confident, Kang Ying felt relieved.
Although Shi Tao had been a knowledgeable youth at Lu County before, he had been back to the capital for dozens of years, so he should have restored his original taste.
After settling all the family matters, Village Head Guo rushed to the door. Seeing Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan, Village Head Guo was overjoyed.
"You guys have been to the capital for a month. I've already opened up all the lodgings in the village that you asked me to rent. There are a total of 99 households in the village and 23 households are willing to sign a lease agreement.
I was wondering if we should use the village funds to cover the rent. " Village Head Guo lowered his voice.
"That won't do. How can that be?" Kang Ying quickly said, "We can't do something that violates financial rules."
Village Head Guo chuckled and said: "That's true, I'm just afraid that everyone will be anxious and break the agreement."
Kang Ying said apologetically, "It's my mistake. I didn't give you the rent."
Village Head Guo probably found it embarrassing to ask Kang Ying for help. Otherwise, Kang Ying would just say it over the phone and ask Guan Xiao to call Village Head Guo directly.
Village Head Guo answered hesitantly, "I am not here to ask for money, but the villagers are in a hurry. To the villagers, this rent is also a big income this year."
"I'm sorry, I was careless."
Kang Ying went back to her room and took out the money. It was 80,000 yuan, but all these places were signed for five years, so the money wasn't too much.
Nowadays, the south mainly cultivates rice. In a year and two seasons, a mu of land can produce about 600 catties of rice per season, which is about 1200 catties of rice per year. The market price of a catty of rice is 30%, if farmers depend on the cultivation of rice per mu of land per year, their gross income would be about 720 yuan.
However, this was only a gross income. He also had to deduct the cost of farming rice, pesticides, fertilizers, and human wages.
Therefore, Kang Ying signed a contract with the villagers for 800 yuan per mu for a year. The villagers didn't have to put in any effort, which equated to 800 yuan a year, freeing the labor force and earning money from other part-time jobs. Calculating the price, this was definitely a worthwhile transaction, so the villagers who had surplus land quickly signed the agreement.
Shi Jiangyuan and Kang Ying gave the village chief money and signed their names on the lease letter. Village Head Guo excitedly held the contract and said:
"According to your instructions, the land you have rented is planted with potatoes. In two months time, we will be able to harvest them. I have hired five villagers, all of whom are the owners of the land, to help with the management. "
"That's fine. You have a good arrangement. They come to work in the fields everyday, so I'll give them 120 yuan every month." Kang Ying said, "Village Head, thank you for your hard work. I'll give you a monthly salary of 150 yuan."
Village Head Guo became even more enthusiastic every day. The villagers would get 120 yuan a month, which was about the same as the city staff. It was a stable income for the villagers. Moreover, Kang Ying giving him a salary of 150 yuan exceeded his expectations.
For Village Head Guo, it was only right for Kang Ying to not give him any reward. Now that she was able to accept the money and help the villagers find a way to earn more money, he was naturally more willing to thank her.
Kang Ying then asked Village Head Guo, "Have you discussed the matter of repairing the cement road with the villagers?"
