Early on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, several large trucks came to Chongxin Village.

These large trucks, carrying a lot of heavy stuff, drove by with such a roar that the villagers felt that the road was shaking.

"What is this?" A villager poked his head out of a roadside shop and asked, "Are you working on a project?"

"It's not a project. How can we have any projects here? Didn't Lu Ao say that he contracted a piece of sea outside the village to build a marine ranch? He is probably working on that now."

"Sea Ranch? Never heard of it."

"I've never heard of him before, but Lu Ao is a bit evil. Whatever he wants to do, he can probably do it."

As soon as this was said, several people in the store deeply agreed.

Everyone was really curious about the Ocean Ranch, and while they were doing nothing here, someone suggested, "What's going on with this Ocean Ranch? We haven't seen it yet, why don't we join in the fun together?"

"Okay, let's go and get to know each other better."

People who were chatting in the shop went as they were told, stood up immediately, pushed their way out, and headed for the beach.

When everyone arrived at the beach, there were already many people standing there watching the fun, especially the children with sniffles. They stood on the rocks and stretched their necks to look into the sea.

It's noisy here, with cars, trucks, cranes, trolleys everywhere, and several ships parked on the sea.

This time, we mainly used Lu Ao's large ship to release the rocks.

The crane lifted the artificial reef directly from the truck to the boat, and Lu Ao drove the boat to deliver the artificial reef to the marine ranch for release.

Lin Dawu, Lin Manzhang, Lin Gongshang, and Lao Chen all came.

There were dozens of young and strong men standing on the rocks and in the boat, everyone helping.

The sea area contracted by Lu Ao is too large, and he has ordered many artificial reefs, 512 in total, of various shapes and materials.

Large artificial reefs are transported directly by crane, while small artificial reefs need to be moved to the boat themselves and then released by boat.

Lu Ao had made preparations in advance, and now there are so many artificial reefs piled here that look busy, not chaotic, and orderly.

People in the village just watched the fun, and after watching the fun, people also came to help, including some old people, who also didn't waste any effort.

An old man said with emotion, "When we were fishing when we were young, there were as many fish and shrimps in the sea as rice, and we would return home loaded with small wooden boats. Who would have thought that one day we would still be able to raise fish in the sea."

Lin Gongshang heard this and raised his voice with a smile, "Times have changed. The fish we have caught for so many years were all taken from the sea. Now it is our turn to repay the sea."

"This is very true. When we were young, we were not as aggressive as people today, and we knew all the nets we used."

Lu Ao heard what they said and came over, "We are not going to kill them all now. If we encounter anyone using Juehu.com, we will call the police directly. Master Muzi, don't move this, let us young people do it."

"Hehehe, I got well very early. In the past two years, I used to yoked oxen into pear fields. You guys are just like that."

Lu Ao forcefully took the steel artificial reef from his hand, "Then you should look for a lighter artificial reef. This one won't work. This one is too heavy. They almost lost their backs when they just lifted it up."

The smile on the old man's face became more and more obvious, "With this weight, I almost lose my waist, and my health is not good. I have to be like when we were young, oh, I can lift two hundred kilograms in one go, and my feet don't even tremble!"

Lu Ao gave him a thumbs up.

The old man was satisfied, and looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, "Then you guys are busy here, and I'll get you some tea."

Lu Ao also looked up at the sky.

It was rainy in spring, the sky was overcast, and there were no obvious rain clouds.

Lu Ao felt the humidity of the current weather and felt that it would rain within two hours.

Lu Ao shouted: "It's going to rain. Please work harder and put these artificial reefs into the sea before it rains."

Someone in the crowd replied, "Don't worry, it won't rain much this time! Even if it rains, we will still be busy here."

Lu Ao secretly sensed the rain clouds and wanted to disperse them in advance.

He soon discovered that this plan was not feasible.

There is too much rain in spring. The rain clouds here are not local rain clouds. The whole area is rain clouds. Even if it disperses the rain clouds here, the wind will bring the rain clouds from other places. This time

They cannot avoid the spring rain.

When other people in the village heard that it was going to rain, they came over to help. Even children were running around to help get some light artificial reefs.

It was rare for Fatty to meet so many people, running around with their tongues hanging out.

Large pieces of artificial reefs were smashed directly from the boat, causing big splashes of water.

These artificial reefs are somewhat imitated by wild rocks, and the placement of them does not need to be chosen too carefully.

There are two tides every day. If the location is not suitable, the tide will take them to where they should go.

If Lu Ao wanted to fix these artificial reefs at a specific location, he would need to dive into the seawater and perform underwater welding.

He currently does not have this need.

Let's all come together to help.

He did this work very quickly.

It was around eight o'clock in the morning when the first batch of fish reefs arrived. At around eleven o'clock in the morning, all the fish reefs were thrown into the sea.

When they were about to leave, it started to rain lightly, and the silky silk floated on people's hair and clothes, but it was not enough to get people wet.

When the crowd was about to disperse, Lin Qiyan and Lin Gongshang brought cigarettes and candies and distributed them among the crowd.

Lu Ao and Song Zhou bought this specially to thank everyone for their help for so long. It is not appropriate to give money to everyone. Giving them some cigarettes, alcohol and candies would also make everyone feel happy.

At noon, Lu Ao and Song Zhou specially booked a banquet in the town. They took everyone to the town to eat together and set up seven tables.

The meal was extremely lively.

After putting in the artificial reefs, the atmosphere of spring is already strong.

The young people in the village returned to the city to work again. The entire village was suddenly mostly empty, and there were fewer lights in the village. Walking in the village, it felt much quieter.

The old people who stayed in the village began to tidy up their vegetable fields.

Lu Ao and Song Zhou also started to grow vegetables. They didn't grow many vegetables, but mainly eggplants, peppers, pumpkins, winter melons, beans, etc.

Spring gradually warmed up, and the temperature and humidity were sufficient. The vegetable seedlings began to grow vigorously immediately after they were planted in the ground. They could see new leaves sprouting from the vegetable seedlings almost every day.

In addition to the vegetable fields, the mountains contracted by Lu Ao are also busy.

Lu Ao almost handed over the management of the entire mountain to Lao Chen.

Lao Chen also lived up to his trust. As soon as the New Year was over, he began to prepare for the work of weeding and fertilizing.

The peach blossoms, plum blossoms and cherry blossoms in the orchard are all in bloom, some are about to fall, and some are just blooming in large numbers.

The bees that migrated to a corner of the orchard last winter have also become busy. You can hear them buzzing as soon as you enter the orchard.

There are enough flowers in the orchard to supply these bees with nectar.

The yellow plums and loquats that bloomed in winter have begun to bear fruit.

Huangmei matures earlier. The plums are basically the size of table tennis balls and have gradually turned from green to yellow.

The loquats are still small, only the size of a little finger, but they are clustered together. It is not difficult to imagine what a bumper harvest they will get in the summer.

That day Lu Ao went up the mountain and saw Lao Chen busy in the orchard carrying fertilizer, so he called him, "Brother Chen, how is the orchard doing this year?"

"The growth is gratifying!" Lao Chen straightened up, took a breath with his hoe, and said with a relaxed expression, "I have been planting fruit trees for so many years, and no fruit tree has ever produced so many fruits as now.

It’s all bent.”

"That's not bad."

"It's very good. When I catch up with the fertilizer, there will definitely be a bumper harvest this year. You won't be able to eat all the fruits. You will have to contact the consignee early to purchase."

Lu Ao smiled, "It's still early."

"It's getting late. This kind of fruit tree is like raising a child. You can look at it every day without realizing it. One day you don't see any of them, you will find that they have suddenly grown up."

Lu Ao nodded, "Okay, I'll contact you as soon as possible."

"If you don't know anyone, I'll give you a few phone calls when the time comes."

"We'll talk about it then. Now I want to plant some honeysuckle or something at the foot of the mountain. I wonder if Brother Chen you have any channels? Or is there anything that needs special attention?"

"No, you can get some honeysuckle seeds. Then I will scatter them along the wire fence. When the spring rain falls, they will germinate on their own."

They grow honeysuckle locally.

Every year in late spring and early summer, a group of old ladies take their bags to the fields to pick honeysuckle.

It is best to pick honeysuckle when it is about to bloom, remove leaves and other impurities, and then take it upstairs to dry.

After drying in the sun, make some tea to clear away heat and moisturize the lungs. It is best for children to drink.

If you add some honeysuckle nectar to it, it will be the best heat-clearing and detoxifying product.

Lu Ao often drank honeysuckle tea when she was a child.

This kind of scented tea is delicious and healthy. At that time, he had not transferred to the city, and he had to bring his own water to the rural primary school.

Every morning, his mother puts a handful of small honeysuckle flowers into the kettle, pours hot water for him, makes tea and stuffs it into the side of his schoolbag, and he can drink it all day long.

Lao Chen said he could plant it, so Lu Ao simply placed an order online and bought more than ten kilograms of seeds.

Honeysuckle can climb vines, and the barbed wire fence at the foot of Haining Mountain is ready. Honeysuckle flowers are sprinkled under the barbed wire, and when it grows out, it will grow exactly along the barbed wire.
