the first year of the monkey year, the sun has shot through the clouds, penetrating a pool of blue waves.
Qingyuan fresh county longjug Town, the Mahayana Swan field next to the phoenix ancient village, a group of curvaceous white shadows swimming on the surface of the water. The visitors to the shore talk about the story of the legendary Swan Lake and the Swan grandfather in WeChat. Few people noticed the old man sitting in the corner near Swan Lake, staring at the swan in the lake.
he is Xie's father from Guangzhou. It has been fourth years since he came here to round his swan dream.
elves
the Huang family of Feng Gu ancient village knew that Xie was in 2011. A piece of land on the east side of the ancient village is to be rented out. This is a 60 mu wasteland. The weeds are overgrown, the soil is poor, and the ponds are deserted. There was a man and his son driving from Guangzhou, more than 300 miles, 3 hours of travel, the old man did not show fatigue, look at the East, look west, as if to find what baby in the barren beach.
when signing the contract, the old man insisted on signing the contract for 50 years at any cost. The villagers knew that he wanted to keep swans here.
the Huang family later heard that Xie Rongguang was born in 1935. He was born in Guangxi, and now has a big business in Guangzhou. For the raising of swans, the villagers will not take it seriously, but a big boss from Guangzhou has made a good rental price, which is certainly a good thing. The contract was signed smoothly.
villager Huang Weiying does not care about raising swans. Huang moved from the Ming Dynasty to the first year of Longqing. For hundreds of years, it is rare to see swans here.
raising swans is just an accidental idea of Mr. Xie.
2011, Xie Lao Zi is 76 years old. Zhou Wenfang, his wife, had the habit of watching TV at night. When the picture was frozen in CCTV 7, a big white bird came into view. This kind of whole body feather is white, the mouth is black, the upper mouth to the nostril is yellow, the head and neck very long special object, attracted the Xie gentleman at once. "Swans are mostly monogamy, and live together for life". The commentary on TV is to let Xie's son like this wizard.
Xie has no experience of raising swans. He has never even seen a swan in a zoo. But others are sensitive and stubborn, and feel that nothing is wrong if they like it.
thank father has always been such a person. He worked for 22 years as a deputy to the Guangdong provincial machinery office and worked for 15 years at the rank of cadres. Dissatisfied with the status quo of the mediocrity, thigh one shot, an hour to write a report on early retirement.
52 retired at the age of that year, Xie Hsien took charge of magnetoelectric therapy. When he became a doctor, he picked up the first barrel of gold after his retirement.
dig Lake
raise swans, first of all, have a beautiful environment. Xie has visited many sites suitable for swan breeding, and finally selected the desolate beach beside Phoenix Village. It is far away from urban noise and has a long history and simple folk customs.
where there are breeding areas, there must be aquaculture technology.
2011 June, Xie Lao Tse went on the road alone, and went to Jiangxi and Shanghai to learn how to breed swans. He lived in a swan farm in Hunan for 3 days, a 76 year old, a hot summer, a mosquitoes, and a day with a swan with a worker to steal some teachers. He has the patience and the experience of stealing from the teacher.
learned the basic skills of raising swans. Xie began his second step plan to build a swan lake of his own. Swans feed on aquatic plants, eat snails and mollusks, and enjoy nesting at the water's edge. Swan Lake is the ideal habitat for swans.
however, only a barren land was rented in Fenggu ancient village.
has been an engineer for 22 years in the army. Xie has good physical quality and strong operational ability. He rolled up his sleeves and crawled along with the excavator master. In 3 months, he was stunned to build 9 acres of Swan Lake in the wasteland. In April 10th,
2012 introduced 10 white swans, 10 black swans and 20 gray swans (wild goose) to open her own Swan dream. Swan aquaculture called "Mahayana", broad and lofty.
since 2012, Xie has invested nearly 3 million yuan in the Mahayana Swan field. In the eyes of villagers in Fenggu village, he is a big boss.
in fact, Xie Lao is not a big boss, but a city "Charter Public". In 1996, Xie Lao, who had retired for 13 years, accumulated 1 million 500 thousand yuan in medical practice, and bought 2000 square meters of 42 Suites in Yongtai, Guangzhou.
migrating
Swan dream at the beginning, it was not so smooth.
2012 April 17th early in the early morning, Xie Lao Zi still immersed in the excitement of the opening, climbing up to patrol the Swan house, found two white, four black elves lying on the ground, twitches and twitches, neck straightening and twisting, breathing difficult, quickly broke the gas.
came to the death of the Swan bird flu in the Mahayana swan, and gave him a fatal blow.
but no thanks to his father. As early as 2000, he fell in love with collecting strange stones by chance. In order to find the best works, he and his son often take hundreds of thousands of cash, take buses, motorcycles, gnawing instant noodles, day and night, Guangxi Liuzhou, guests and other places, taking risks to purchase. There are countless times and countless losses. Over the past few years, a number of odd stone pavilions have been set up in Guangzhou.
in order for the remaining swans to survive, Xie father tried to create a wild environment for them. When the Swan liked to eat a wild plant called the bamboo grass, Xie Lao Zi was walking around the town of dragon neck, and finally found a family that failed to raise the rat, and disked the abandoned 5 mu of bamboo grass and relieved the worry of the Swan diet.
worry that the remaining baby will have an accident again. Xie father put down the strange stone collection and stayed in the Mahayana Swan field for a long time. Every day, he sat on the Swan pond beside the stool, watching the habits of swans, hoping to find out a set of farming experience.
reality is not as perfect as it imagined, although the remaining 6 black swans have been all right, 20 swans have developed into more than 200 species, but the number of white swans has been decreasing. By November 2014, there were only 4 white swans left in the Mahayana swan.
this is still not the worst.
2014 November 23rd, at six in the morning, she was awakened by the sharp goose song. Open the window and see 4 white elves spread their huge wings against the surface of the water, such as helicopters off the ground, splashing water, forming huge whirlpools on the lake. 4 white swans rose above the pond, slowly crossing the fence, forming a straight line, and disappeared in the eyes of Xie's father.
swans are migratory migratory birds, and there is no white swan at Mahayana swan.
try
2016 January, early morning, murmur. Goo Goo... The swan of the Mahayana came again with the cry of the white swan. Looking down from the sky, the haunted Swan Lake, with the haunted Swan Lake, snuggled up to each other by the 5 white spirits, into the romantic atmosphere of the ancient south Guangdong architecture group.
Mr. Xie introduced 10 white swans and 10 black swans from Anhui.
Xie's insisting on raising swans is actually very simple. There is something to do, that is happiness!
thanks to his goal, he must live to be 120 years old. In this way, he will have enough time to think and create a miracle so that his white swans can grow and grow in Mahayana. He had rented barren land for 50 years, and he also showed his determination to raise swans.
the Huangshi family in Feng Shui ancient village is no longer curious about swans. Many Huang clan people also become the employees of Xie Lao Zi. Huang Weiying, who had been skeptical, became one of them.
29 years of retirement, Xie Lao Zi has been a doctor, a charter party and a curious stone collector. Every venture is a new attempt. Every attempt, at the end, has been successful.
until the year of old age, he was involved in Swan, and he really felt the frustration.
