Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 979 Trouble on Chongming Island

In the next period of time, Zhao Lei was busy running between Xinwu and Shencheng to open up a new trial planting site.

Just as Zhao Lei expected, both Song Guoping from Xinwu and Wu Mingyu from Shencheng were very supportive of the rice planting experiment.The leaders of the two cities attached great importance to this matter, and the management personnel below were naturally more active. It didn't take long for Zhao Lei to rent the land he needed.

The land of Xinwu is located in the famous rice planting area of ​​Linxian County. The new trial planting area is arranged here, which can be compared with the rice planted in the surrounding area to find out the advantages of Xianhu rice.

As for the trial planting area in Shencheng, Zhao Lei chose a piece of wasteland on Chongming Island.This place is already close to the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the sea water will flow backwards every time there is a spring tide, causing the soil here to become salty and alkaline, which is actually not suitable for growing rice.Many people don't understand Zhao Lei's decision and why he chose such a piece of land.

Of course, Zhao Lei has his own considerations, that is, he wants to see how the fairy gourd rice will perform in the harsh planting environment.If it can produce high yields on such land, let alone other places.

With the support of the governments of the two places, the new trial planting base is being built rapidly, and rice transplanting will soon begin.As long as you hurry up, two new trial planting areas can still plant two seasons of hyacinth rice this year, which is of great significance for trial planting and testing.

During this period of time, Chen Lan also traveled around the two places with Zhao Lei, and the pretty widow took the initiative to propose to him every night, just wanting to have a child of her own as soon as possible.

However, this kind of matter is not up to the person concerned. This morning, Chen Lan came out of the bathroom feeling depressed, and whispered to Zhao Lei: "The other one is here!"

Of course Zhao Lei knew why Chen Lan was unhappy, so he quickly comforted her with a smile: "This kind of thing can't be rushed, we have plenty of time, take your time, and you will always get pregnant."

Chen Lan shook her head worriedly and said, "I'm not young anymore, and I don't want to be an advanced mother. It's not good for the child. We have worked so hard and haven't conceived yet. Tell me, is there something wrong with my body? Take the time to go to the hospital for a check-up?"

During this period of time, Zhao Lei had already given Chen Lan several drops of fairy dew. Even if there was something wrong with her body, it must have been recuperated.

So Zhao Lei immediately shook his head resolutely and said: "No, I can be sure that our bodies are fine, as long as you try for a while, you will definitely get pregnant, don't worry!"

After so many things happened, Chen Lan had unreserved trust in Zhao Lei. After listening to his words, she nodded slightly and said, "Well, I feel relieved when you say that."

Zhao Lei hugged Chen Lan's slender waist with a smile and said, "After these few days pass, we will continue to work hard and make you a mother as soon as possible!"

Although the two have been close for a long time, when Zhao Lei said "keep working hard", Chen Lan couldn't help but blush, gently stroked her flat belly, and said expectantly: "Our child must be very cute, if If it's a boy, it will be as handsome as you!"

"If it was a girl, it would be as beautiful as you." Zhao Lei continued: "In short, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, it will be the cutest child!"

After regaining Chen Lan's confidence, Zhao Lei continued to work on the trial planting area.The construction of the trial planting area in Xinwu City is progressing smoothly. The rice fields have been sorted out, and the transplanting can start as long as water is put on it.However, the construction of the trial planting area on Chongming Island has encountered some obstacles, and it has obviously fallen behind the schedule.

This made Zhao Lei a little dissatisfied. If he could not plant the second season of rice as soon as possible, he would miss the farming season. The trial planting area in Chongming might not be able to plant the third season of rice in time, which would be a big blow to his trial planting plan.

In order to solve this problem as soon as possible, Zhao Lei went to Chongming Island again to find out the situation.Recently, Chen Lan and Zhao Lei have been in pairs, so naturally they went with him.

The person who received Zhao Lei and Chen Lan was Xu Xu, a local cadre. He was also very distressed that the trial planting area could not be handed over on time.After all, it is said that the trial planting task was personally assigned by the city leaders. If it is not done well, Xu Xu will definitely leave an impression on his superiors of "incompetence", and naturally his future will be bleak.

Zhao Lei was also in a bad mood, and said to Xu Xu with a calm face: "Officer Xu, we agreed at the beginning that the handover of the trial planting area could be completed within a week, but now ten days have passed, and the land has not been handed over If we miss the farming season, our loss will be very great."

Xu Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a sad face: "Mr. Zhao, I'm not looking for any excuses. It's true that we didn't handle this matter well. Please give us a little more time, and we will definitely transfer the land to you as soon as possible."

Looking at Xu Xu who was obviously in a hurry, Zhao Lei nodded lightly and said, "Okay, then I'll give you three more days, no more delay!"

Xu Xu hesitated for a moment, and said bravely, "Okay, three days will be three days!"

After coming out of Xu Xu's office, Chen Lan whispered to Zhao Lei: "Officer Xu obviously has no confidence in handing over the land on time, why do you still trust him? This is obviously a waste of time."

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Sister Lan, you are becoming more and more like a strong woman. You can tell at a glance that Xu Xu has no confidence. From now on, I can trust you to take care of the company."

The compliment from her sweetheart made Chen Lanfang secretly happy, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's about the trial planting area, why are you praising me?"

"I'm just telling the truth." Zhao Lei smiled slightly at Chen Lan, and quickly said with a downcast face: "As for the troubles encountered in the trial planting area, it seems that we have to find other ways."

Speaking of which, Zhao Lei also has acquaintances on Chongming Island. He has a good relationship with Xu Zhiming, the boss of the boat. Maybe he can ask him to help find out what troubles are encountered in the trial planting area.

So Zhao Lei quickly brought Chen Lan to the pier, looking for Xu Zhiming who often docked here.

There were a bunch of rough men on the pier, and when they suddenly saw a beautiful woman, many people stared at Chen Lan intently, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.Fortunately, with Zhao Lei by his side, Chen Lan felt very safe and was not worried about any troubles.

Sure enough, Xu Zhiming's fishing boat docked here, and when he heard Zhao Lei calling his name, he quickly got out of the cabin.

Seeing that Zhao Lei brought such a beautiful woman to the pier, Xu Zhiming was stunned at first, but he soon returned to normal, and said to Zhao Lei with a smile on his face: "Boss Zhao, why are you here at the pier at this time? Isn't there another business to take care of me?"

Zhao Lei also nodded with a smile and said, "Old Xu, you are really right!"
