Chapter 67 Like a Matchbox

Jiang Ning was building a house on the farm. Everyone who knew about it knew about it, and he didn’t hide it. He built the staff dormitory into a small three-story garden-style building. It wasn’t a big deal. Aren’t there enough people building houses indiscriminately in rural areas?
The farm contributes to the hometown, but everyone turns a blind eye.

No one would make a fuss about such a small matter.

But Boss Lu is new here and he's a bit serious.

Jiang Ning kept covering it up and didn't dare let anyone see it.

I didn't expect that the other person already knew it and told it to my face.

What could Jiang Ning say? He could only take them to observe.

It’s not far, so I didn’t drive, so I walked there.

The villa covers a large area, with a yard of more than ten acres, lawns, gardens, swimming pools and several pavilions. The garden-style house is comfortable to look at. There are no poplar trees planted in the hundreds of acres of land outside the yard, but only landscape trees.

There are also many flowers and plants.

Lu Jingwei took a look and said, "This is a bit wasteful. Can you manage a manor of several hundred acres?"

Jiang Ning was sweating inside, but his face was calm: "The yard is only ten acres, and the trees and flowers outside can be sold when they grow up, which can generate income. Those are all precious tree species that I specially cultivated."

Lu Jingwei didn't say anything, he just looked around casually outside.

Didn't go into the house either.

The renovation started in May and it’s still not finished after two months.

There are workers working inside.

Lu Jingwei didn't go to make trouble, he just took a look and left.

Jiang Ning didn't know what he was thinking, nor was he too worried.

Building a house is really a small thing.

The worst outcome would be the demolition of the house and some financial loss.

It's not the case that he was sent to jail like Wang Chengtai.

There's nothing to worry about.

After picking fruits in the orchard, Jiang Ning took Boss Lu and his family of three to see the pasture and medicinal fields, and watched the large harvesters harvesting grass. Then Lu Jingwei left with his wife and children without going to the office building.

Didn't stay for dinner either.

It seems that he just brought his wife and children here to pick some fruit.

Send the person to the South Gate.

After watching Passat leave, Jiang Wei looked at Jiang Ning and asked, "Boss Lu, do you know that you built a villa on the farm?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "This is not a secret, we will know it sooner or later."

Jiang Ze asked: "What did you say?"

Jiang Ning said calmly, "What can I say? I just built a house. What's there to say? I said it was a staff dormitory. Who can say it's not? Who stipulated that staff dormitories can't be built as garden-style houses?"

Jiang Ze gave a thumbs up: "You are as shameless as me."

Feng Yu couldn't help laughing out loud.

Jiang Wei asked, "Boss Lu, don't you find fault with me?"

Jiang Ning shook his head: "No, these are all trivial matters."

Jiang Ze is more insightful: "Boss Lu brought his wife and son to the farm to pick fruit. For someone of his status, this is already a sign of intimacy. If he really came here to find fault, he wouldn't have brought his wife and son with him."

Jiang Wei thought about it and nodded.

Jiang Ning asked, "What did you two do with the driver?"

Jiang Wei said dryly: "I was planning to get two rabbits, but they refused to take them in no matter what."

Jiang Ning said, "It's no use for you to get a rabbit for the driver. The driver can't do anything for you."

Jiang Ze disagreed: "You don't understand. The boss' closest people are the driver and the secretary. The secretary is responsible for the boss's official business, and the driver is responsible for the boss's personal affairs. There are some things that the secretary can't do, but the driver can. Just like today, Boss Lu brought his family over, but only the driver, not the secretary. The one who is really close to the boss is actually the driver."

Jiang Ning asked: "What do you want the driver to do?"

Jiang Wei said with a smile: "I don't want to ask someone to do something for me, but I want to make friends with them!"

Jiang Ning had nothing to say. These two cousins ​​were really capable of becoming bosses.

But his ability to take advantage of every opportunity is something that even an honest man like his brother cannot match.

After the two cousins ​​left.

Jiang Ning took Feng Yu to the villa.

The school has been closed for vacation, and Feng Yu has officially started his summer vacation.

In the car, Feng Yu asked: "Why did Boss Lu bring his wife and son to the farm? Is there something wrong?"

"fine!"

Jiang Ning said lightly, "I don't ask him for money, nor do I ask him to help me get a job. If I really asked him for these things, he wouldn't have brought his wife and son to my farm. People are like this sometimes. They can't get close to those who want to get close, and those who don't want to get close to them have private relationships. If I ask him to give you a job as a principal, will he give it to you?"

Feng Yu couldn't help laughing: "I have only been working for a year, how can I be qualified to be a principal? Besides, I won't do it even if you ask me to. Being a leader is actually very tiring. There are so many things to deal with. I just want to teach and have something to do to keep myself busy. I don't want to be a principal!"

Jiang Ning said, "It is said that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. If a teacher doesn't want to be a principal, can he be a good teacher?"

"what!"

Feng Yu gave him a blank look and said, "These are two different things, please don't confuse them."

Jiang Ning stopped talking nonsense and asked, "What did you talk about with his wife?"

Feng Yu said: "We didn't talk about much, just work. Dr. Luo works in a big hospital in the provincial capital. Her son just graduated from junior high school this year and is going to high school. He is a very good student, ranked in the top three in the school and in the top ten in the city and province."

Jiang Ning asked: "What does her son call you?"

Feng Yu thought for a moment and said, "It seems there is no name."

Jiang Ning was puzzled: "Why is there no title? His son calls me uncle. I thought he would call you aunt."

Feng Yu laughed out loud: "You are only a few years older than him, how come you are his uncle?"

Jiang Ning said depressedly, "I'm only 24 years old and I haven't even gotten married yet. Forget about those nephews who are blood relatives, but a guy as old as Lu Hang also calls me uncle. I feel like I'm being called old."

Feng Yu said, "But if you call her mom sister-in-law, it's fine if she calls you uncle!"

Jiang Ning regretted it deeply: "I should have called Luo Bing Auntie earlier."

Feng Yu almost died of laughter: "If you call Dr. Luo auntie, I think she will scold you in her heart."

...With the start of summer vacation, people in Bei'an seemed to have all of a sudden become free.

There is no way. Today's students can be said to take up most of the family's energy.

A student is a family.

Bei'an has ten schools from elementary school to high school. How many families are involved?

This does not even include the various kindergartens.

No longer having to wait on and pick up students, parents have more free time and either take their children out for travel or look for opportunities to make money. Both the consumer terminal market and the labor market have ushered in a wave of climaxes, and various street stall industries near Xincheng Plaza are experiencing a new round of vitality.

There are also two to three hundred temporary workers at Xianling Farm.

Why recruit temporary workers?

The trees grow too fast. There are two million trees, and more than two hundred workers simply cannot prune them all. Even if they are equipped with machines, how many trees can more than two hundred workers prune in a day? Before one round of pruning is completed, new branches have grown out of the ones that have been pruned previously.

If the branches are not trimmed for more than a month, they will grow thick and strong.

In order to improve efficiency, we had to recruit a group of temporary workers to do the work.

The winter in the northwest is too long, and sometimes it snows in October.

Spring won't come until March next year.

It is not until after the Qingming Festival in April that all things truly come back to life.

A full year's work is just half a year's work.

Jiang Ning felt distressed about having to employ so many workers. More than 200 people were already a lot.

It is still more cost-effective to use temporary workers.

But the most troublesome thing now is the pruned branches.

The trees grow too fast, so a lot of branches need to be pruned. There are two million trees, and each tree weighs forty to fifty kilograms of branches. The total is an astronomical figure. Nearly 100,000 tons of dry branches are piled up on the farm and dry out in the sun after a few days.

The slightest spark would be a disaster.

Two fire trucks were purchased for this purpose.

The firefighters came over yesterday and organized an emergency drill.

I’m afraid I’ll hear a farm fire in the middle of the night.

But this is not the way to go.

Throw it away, there's nowhere to throw it.

Nearly 100,000 tons of dry firewood would be a huge hidden danger wherever it is thrown.

The county won’t let him throw it away casually.

Send it, we are not allowed to burn firewood now.

Even if some people running farm stays come and pull in some money, how much can they pull?

Not even a drop in the bucket.

Sell ​​it, no one wants it.

After asking around, no one wanted this thing.

The county also helped to contact business, but no one was willing to help.

How to deal with these wastes really gave Jiang Ning a headache.

Jiang Ning had thought that planting trees would bring all kinds of troubles, but he had never thought that he would encounter such a troublesome problem as not being able to deal with the pruned branches. Sometimes Jiang Ning even wanted to pour a few buckets of gasoline at night and set the tree on fire.

Unfortunately it's not realistic.

Nearly 100,000 tons, how can it be burned all in one night?

As soon as the sun rises, it will probably be on the news.

It is not realistic to burn them in batches, and they will be exposed sooner or later.

When they were at a loss of what to do, an employee made a suggestion.

After hearing that those useless branches could be made into biomass fuel, Jiang Ning did some research and found it feasible, so he took a group of people on a special trip to investigate and spent two million to buy a batch of equipment.

Prepare to process those useless branches into fuel for the boiler.

You can save money on buying coal in winter.

The equipment has not arrived at the factory yet and Feng Yu has to take the third subject test.

Jiang Ning asked her to drive the car around the farm and it seemed fine.

I made a phone call and went to accompany him to take the exam again.

The next day, Feng Yu successfully got his driver's license and served as his driver on the way back.

This is different from Jiang Ning's driving. Jiang Ning adjusts the seat as far back as possible when driving.

Just stretch your legs and put your toes on the accelerator and brake.

Feng Yu was completely the opposite and moved his seat as far forward as possible.

I held the steering wheel directly in my arms and stared at the road the whole time.

Dare not look around.

When we arrived at the farm, we went directly to the office building.

I saw a white G-Class parked downstairs.

Feng Yu was surprised: "Whose car is that?"

Jiang Ning said, "Guess."

Feng Yu asked: "Did you buy it?"

"Guessed it right."

Jiang Ning got out of the car and said to her, "I bought this last time when I went to Tianjin with Jiang Wei. But I bought it for you. I'll ask Zhang Yulong to bring the key down later. Take a look at the exterior first. How is it? Do you like it?"

Feng Yu was surprised, looked at it and commented: "It's so ugly, it looks like a matchbox."

Jiang Ning: "..."
