Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

As the sun sets, the golden afterglow falls on the valley, coating the entire planting base with a layer of golden brilliance. Bai Hanchuan and I stand side by side on the viewing platform, looking into the distance, our hearts filled with hope and longing.

"Lili, you say..." Bai Hanchuan suddenly turned his head, looked at me affectionately, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

I turned to meet his gaze and asked softly, "What's wrong? Did you come up with any good ideas?"

Bai Hanchuan smiled and shook his head, saying, "I just feel that my current life is like a dream."

I understand how he feels. We have been through so many hardships, being framed, hunted, and even almost losing each other. But now, we have finally come to the end of our hardships, have our own careers, and have three lovely children.

"Yes, all this has not come easily." I said with emotion, "But I believe that as long as we continue to work hard, the future will be even better."

Under our careful management, the planting base gradually regained its former vitality. I used the time difference in space to accelerate the growth cycle of flowers and tried to cultivate some new varieties that were not available on the market. Bai Hanchuan used his business acumen to bring these new varieties to the market and soon opened up sales channels.

Lin Xiao also became my right-hand man. She was diligent and eager to learn, and quickly mastered the essentials of planting technology. The mysterious retired gardening master also often came to the base to guide us. His experience and technology benefited us a lot.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the scale of the base has been continuously expanded and the market share has been continuously increased. We have not only cultivated various rare flower varieties, but also developed some flower-related products, such as flower tea, aromatherapy, etc., which are deeply loved by consumers.

"Mom, Dad, come quickly!"

The children's clear shouts interrupted my thoughts. I turned around and saw them running and playing happily in the flower fields, and their silver bell-like laughter echoed in the valley.

Bai Hanchuan gently held my hand and said, "Let's go back."

I nodded, interlocked our fingers, and strolled down the hill.

As night fell and the stars twinkled, our family of five sat around the dining table, enjoying a sumptuous dinner... Bai Hanchuan suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks, looked at me tenderly, and said, "Lili..."

Bai Hanchuan suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks, looked at me tenderly, and said, "Lili, you have been too hard-working during this period. You should worry more about the base's affairs and the children's homework..."

I knew what he wanted to say, so I interrupted him and said, "What are you talking about? You have to take care of the children's homework too! You can't be partial to one and ignore the other!"

Bai Hanchuan looked at me with a doting look in his eyes: "Okay, okay, we'll take care of it together, together." After that, he picked up a piece of fish, carefully removed the fish bones, and put it in my bowl, "You are just too thin, eat more fish to make up for it."

My heart warmed up, and I smiled and rolled my eyes at him: "I know, you should eat quickly too."

After dinner, our family sat in the living room. The children chattered and told us about interesting things in school. Bai Hanchuan and I listened patiently, occasionally interjecting a few words, and the room was filled with laughter.

Days passed like this. After work, we also began to focus on family life, accompany the children's growth, and enjoy the ordinary but precious parent-child time. Whenever I see the innocent smiles of the children, I feel that all the hardships I have experienced before are worth it.

In the blink of an eye, spring has arrived, and the flowers in the base are blooming in a riot of colour. Our planting base has also gradually gained a reputation in the industry for its unique business model and excellent product quality, attracting more and more attention, including government departments.

At an agricultural expo, our flower products received unanimous praise from the judges and won the gold medal. Not long after, the local government sent people to inspect our planting base, spoke highly of it, and said that they would provide us with a series of policy support and financial support to help us further expand our production scale.

This is undoubtedly a great encouragement and support for us. I know very well that this hard-won success is inseparable from the strategic planning of Bai Hanchuan and the hard work of all employees.

Looking at this thriving sea of ​​flowers, a bold idea gradually became clear in my mind...

"Hanchuan," I turned to look at Bai Hanchuan beside me, "What do you think, can we..."

"Hanchuan," I turned to look at Bai Hanchuan beside me, "What do you think, can we turn the base into an agricultural tourism attraction?"

Bai Hanchuan was slightly stunned, then his eyes lit up: "Tourist attractions? Tell me what you think."

I excitedly described my idea: "We can open up an area and plant various rare flowers for tourists to enjoy. We can also set up some interactive experience projects, such as planting and picking by hand, so that tourists can experience the fun of farming. In addition, we can also..."

My thoughts flowed like a spring, and I told him the plan that I had been brewing for a long time. Bai Hanchuan listened carefully, nodding from time to time, thinking from time to time, with admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Lili, your idea is very good." Bai Hanchuan held my hand and said firmly, "I believe that we can definitely build the base into an agricultural tourism resort integrating sightseeing, leisure and entertainment."

We started to prepare immediately. We invited a professional planning and design team to make an overall plan for the base and invested a lot of money to improve the infrastructure. At the same time, we also actively contacted the local government and tourism departments to seek policy support and publicity and promotion.

After several months of intensive preparation, our agricultural tourism attraction was finally officially opened. On the opening day, we held a grand celebration and invited all our friends, relatives, partners and local government leaders who had supported and helped us to attend.

"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the opening ceremony of our base..." I stood on the stage, looking at the dark crowd below, my heart filled with gratitude.

The audience applauded and everyone's faces were filled with joy. I knew that at this moment, all our efforts and contributions had been rewarded in the best possible way.

After the celebration, Bai Hanchuan and I walked hand in hand in the sea of ​​flowers at the planting base. Our faces were filled with happy smiles, and we knew that the days to come would be even better.

"Lili," Bai Hanchuan suddenly stopped and turned to look at me. His eyes were deep and gentle. "You know what? You are so beautiful today..."

I wore a plain white dress today, and my hair was simply tied up with a red ribbon. I didn't make any extra decorations, not even any makeup. Is Hanchuan...trying to make me happy? I glared at him in reproach: "You're the only one who can talk."

He smiled softly, stretched out his hand to gently tuck a strand of my hair behind my ear, his eyes were so gentle that they seemed to drip water: "I am speaking from the heart. Lili, you don't know how charming you are when you stand on the stage, shining brightly. I really want to hide you and not let anyone see you..."

I felt a little embarrassed by his burning gaze, but my heart was as sweet as if it was filled with honey. I pretended to be calm and changed the subject: "Okay, okay, today is a big day for our base, let's not talk about this. By the way, where is Lin Xiao? Why can't I see her?"

"She is busy greeting guests! Our base is very popular now, and there are many guests coming. Lin Xiao, the housekeeper, is very busy." Bai Hanchuan joked with a smile.

I nodded and looked around. Sure enough, I saw that the base was bustling with people coming and going. Some tourists took photos in the sea of ​​flowers, some planted flowers in the experience area, and some surrounded Lin Xiao to ask various questions. Looking at this vibrant scene in front of me, I felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Lili, look, we succeeded." Bai Hanchuan held my hand tightly, with some emotion in his tone.

Yes, we succeeded.

When we established this planting base under pressure and overcame all difficulties, did we ever think that there would be such a grand occasion today? I turned my head and looked at Bai Hanchuan beside me. This man has always been with me and supported me. We have experienced ups and downs together and finally ushered in our happiness.

"Lili, Lili?"

I came back to my senses and looked at Bai Hanchuan in confusion: "What's wrong?"

He looked into the distance with a serious expression, frowning slightly: "Look over there..."

I followed his gaze and saw a black sedan slowly approaching and finally stopping at the gate of the base.
