Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 201: Rebirth in the Wasteland

These days, Shen Li is like a tireless spinning top, so busy that she is dizzy and has no time to rest.

Every day before dawn, before the morning light completely dispelled the darkness of night, she would hurriedly wake up all the servants in her house, and then the group would head towards Fuxi Villa in a mighty procession.

The winding path between the Shen family and Fuxi Villa is covered with their hurried footprints of varying depths. These footprints are like marks of time, witnessing the hard work and sweat they have put into this land.

The closing banquet that day was like a grand and brilliant fireworks display, blooming with dazzling brilliance in the long river of time. It still blooms vividly in everyone's mind.

The laughter, clinking of glasses, and the satisfaction and joy on people's faces at the banquet were like a never-fading painting, becoming a beautiful memory in everyone's hearts and injecting new vitality and hope into this land.

The dozen or so acres of wasteland in Fuxi Villa have been occupied by desolation and chaos in the past, with overgrown weeds, rugged rocks, and a dead and silent scene.

However, now with everyone working together and doing their utmost, this land is gradually awakening like a long-sleeping giant and is beginning to take on a new look.

Zhao Lin and others are like four towering pines, firmly rooted in this land. Their strong arms and broad chests demonstrate their strong physique and fearless strength.

They would raise their iron hoes high, which gleamed coldly in the sunlight, and then bring them down fiercely, powerfully loosening the iron-hard earth. Each swing seemed like a contest of strength with the earth.

Or they bend their backs like a bow, holding the heavy stones tightly with both hands. The sharp edges of the stones hurt their palms, but they don't care. They walk steadily to the pile with a firm look on their faces, taking one step at a time, steady and reliable.

Li Anshun and Zhang Wenbo, two guests who originally came here for sightseeing, were also deeply moved by the bustling working atmosphere and involuntarily joined the working team.

Li Anshun is a little thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him down, but he has an unyielding spirit when working.

He was concentrating on clearing the overgrown weeds, his hands dyed emerald green by the juice of the weeds, and sweat kept rolling down his forehead like beads from a broken string, soaking his clothes and sticking tightly to his back, but he still did not stop the skillful and powerful movements of his hands, as if he had fallen into a state of ecstasy.

Zhang Wenbo fully utilized his intelligence and ingenuity. He stood on a high ground nearby, observing the entire work site with sharp eyes, and then loudly instructed everyone on how to clean up the debris more efficiently.

His voice echoed across the empty land, clear and powerful, like a horn on the battlefield, leading everyone towards their goal.

Under his command, everyone's work became more organized and their efficiency was greatly improved.

While working, Sun Ying, the head of the village, always followed the busy people with his eyes. Looking at this land that was gradually coming back to life, his eyes were full of satisfaction and gratitude.

He slowly walked to Shen Li's side, bowed slightly, and said respectfully and humbly, "Miss, you are really the lucky star of our Fuxi Villa. These more than ten acres of wasteland have been abandoned for a long time and have always been a source of worry in our hearts.

Now, under your meticulous care, things are showing such encouraging signs of improvement. Not only have you generously helped us purchase all the necessary tools, but you've also brought in so many capable helpers. For those of us who have lived in the villa for most of our lives, we can now see the light of hope again."

Shen Li's face was filled with a warm and friendly smile, and he responded softly, "Uncle Sun, you're welcome. This Fuxi Villa has unlimited potential. As long as everyone works together with one mind and one strength, we will surely be able to restore its former prosperity. This is not just my achievement, but the result of everyone's joint efforts."

The four children beside them, Ah Fu, Xiao Shun, Shitou and Ling'er, looked at Shen Li's small figure and heard their conversation. Crystal tears flashed in their eyes, and the tears looked like sparkling pearls under the refraction of sunlight.

Ah Fu spoke first, his voice trembling with a childishness, as if he was trying to suppress the surging emotions in his heart: "Miss, if you hadn't been so kind as to take us in, we would probably still be wandering the streets, suffering from hunger and cold.

We are now able to have a safe place to live in Fuxi Villa, work with everyone, and contribute to the villa. We are filled with gratitude. We will never forget this kindness."

Xiao Shun also nodded vigorously and said anxiously, "Miss, we will definitely work hard. Don't look at my young age, I am very strong. I can easily lift those small stones.

I get up early every day and am the first one to arrive at the fields, doing more work so that the land can improve faster."

As he spoke, he waved his thin but strong arms, and the muscles on his arms bulged slightly, as if showing Shen Li his strength and determination.

Shitou scratched his head a little embarrassedly, a blush appeared on his dark face, and he said with a red face: "Miss, I am not good at speaking and I can't say anything nice.

But I will repay your kindness with concrete actions. I will come to work early every day and carefully weed the fields until there is not a single weed left. I will treat this land like my own home."

Ling'er blinked her bright and clear eyes, which were filled with determination. "Miss, I will also work hard. Although I am weak and cannot do heavy work, I can help everyone pass tools, serve tea, and do logistics work, so that everyone can be comfortable while working, and never let everyone be distracted by these trivial matters. I will do my best to contribute my own strength to the construction of the villa."

Shen Li looked at these four sensible and heartbreaking children, her heart filled with emotion and love.

She said gently and warmly, "You are all good children. This Fuxi Villa will be your home from now on, and we are a family. As long as we work together, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome, and we will definitely make it better and better."

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the debris in the wasteland was cleared one by one, and piled neatly in the corners, like small hills;

The large and small stones were also moved to the designated place and carefully piled up to form a unique low wall. This low wall surrounds the land, as if guarding the hope of new life.

The wild grass and trees were uprooted, and the land gradually revealed its original fertile and dark appearance, emitting the unique fragrance of soil, as if silently telling the expectation and longing for the future.

This once barren land is gradually regaining vitality under the watering of people's sweat and hope, waiting for the arrival of new life and harvest.
