Xia Hai has a few white hairs these days.
Why?
Because his family's farm is facing bankruptcy crisis!
Xiajia Farm is located next to the beautiful village of Verona Village in Seine Marne, a major grain province, about 90 kilometers away from Paris.
Eighty years ago, Lao Xia, whose family members were all killed by gunfire due to the warlord's disorderly war, came to Shanghai alone to rent. When he was about to die, he joined the Chinese industrial group recruited by Europa and went to Europa to take charge of the battlefield logistics.
Old Xia was lucky. He cured the acute diarrhea of his army officer with his family secret recipe, and was left by the officer as an attendant, instead of leaving without turning back like other compatriots.
When the war was over, Old Xia came to Verona Village to buy Xia's farm with a sum of money he had saved.
After the hard construction of Laoxia, Xiajia Farm was only 5 hectares at the beginning. When it was handed over to Xiahai, the son of Laoxia, the area of Xiajia Farm had expanded ten times to 50 hectares. It was placed in Laoxia's hometown, which was already a big landlord.
However, Lao Xia's lifelong efforts are likely to disappear at this time.
As the only son of old Xia, Xia Hai, who grew up on the farm from childhood, understands his father's feelings about the farm best.
So he applied for loans ambitiously, renovated the farm, purchased new equipment, and introduced improved seeds in a big way, looking forward to the harvest at the end of the year.
But heaven does not obey man's wishes.
The farm crops suddenly suffered from an unknown disaster. Overnight, more than 90% of the crops withered, and the rest were dying, which could not last for several days.
Xia Hai, who was about to vomit blood, quickly asked the president of the local agricultural cooperative, also his old friend Andre, for help.
However, the agricultural experts from Paris were confused about this situation. They could not find the cause of the problem and could not solve it naturally.
After wasting the little money left in the family to invite experts, Xia Hai could not get a solution. After several days, Xia Hai seemed to have lost a whole circle of weight.
"Honey, eat something first, I'm afraid you can't hold on..." Xia Hai's wife Melissa, the village flower of Verona Village, was attracted by the honest Xia Hai and came together.
"I can't eat." Xia Hai sat on the chair, his pipe smoking disorderly, as if the master was in a mood at the moment.
Xia Hai looks up and looks out the window. The green farm has been shrouded in grayish brown.
If the harvest is lost only for one season, the family of Xia Family Farm can still support it.
But the farm suffered from an unknown disease, and experts from Paris could not solve it. In order to upgrade his farm years ago, he borrowed a loan of more than 500000 euros from the bank, which he planned to pay off in five years.
Now that the loan manager of the bank has learned about the current situation of the farm, he has kindly informed him that if the first phase is not available at the end of the year, the bank will reassess the qualification of the farm, and may request to repay the loan in advance.
Unable to solve the disease, the farm will face bankruptcy!
His father's lifelong efforts were destroyed in his hands. How could Xia Hai not worry?
Melissa used to speak softly and softly. At this time, she ordered seriously: "You must eat. Xia Hai, whom I know, will not be defeated by such a small problem!"
Xia Hai smiled bitterly, "I know, Melissa."
At this time, a middle-aged man came from afar.
"Xia Hai, Melissa, I won't disturb you, will I?"
It was Andre, the president of the agricultural cooperative.
"The situation is very bad. Xia Hai, I am contacting the farmers' association. They have promised to call experts to study the problems of Xia's farm. It may take a long time, at least one month before we can get a reply."
"Thank you, Andre, my friend."
Xia Hai put down his pipe and said, "There is no possibility of harvesting wheat and sugar beets. Fortunately, this kind of disaster seems to only affect crops. The grassland on the other side of the cowshed is not affected. Thank God, maybe I will buy more calves back, which may be able to make up for the loss."
"By the way, my geese are still growing healthily."
Andre gave a thumbs up and said, "Good man, he is indeed the son of old Xia. I hope Xia's farm can get rid of the bad luck as soon as possible."
"I hope so."
After seeing Andre off, Xia Hai and Melissa look out of the window at the scenery, frowning.
the second day.
Xia Hai, who didn't sleep well all night, got up early because the trading market in the next village was open today. He wanted to buy some livestock and sell them at the end of the year, just to make up for the loss of crops.
But I saw Charlotte, the son who should be interning in Paris, sitting at the table at home eating Melissa's loving breakfast.
"Why did you come back? Can you still have a vacation during your internship?"
Charlotte wiped her mouth and answered slowly, "What happened at home is so serious that I don't want to practice. I have resigned."
"Nonsense! What can you do when you come back?" Xia Hai was so angry that his veins all burst out.
"I have a way to save the farm."
"Go back to Paris right away... What are you talking about?"
Charlotte looked at her father carefully. "I came back to solve the farm crisis. Believe me, I'm serious."
Xia Haiqi was happy. "Are you serious? That means I am acting like a fool when I invite so many experts back. You just can't bear the pressure. Just find an excuse to hide home!"
"Let me teach you a lesson!"
Xia Hai held her anger for many days, and was ignited by Charlotte in an instant.
Seeing that father and son were about to clash, Melissa shouted, "Do you think I don't exist? Can you ignore me if I don't speak?"
The most terrible thing is that honest people are angry. Xia Hai and Charlotte are honest at once, sitting there obediently and being criticized by Melissa.
"Charlotte, tell me what you think. You must have sufficient reasons, or your father and I will not forgive your decision to resign and go home." Melissa instructed.
"I think I might find the way my father dreamed of raising geese."
"So, I came back this time to ask my father to give me the 100 Hungarian geese on the farm. I will give you a surprise in three months!"
"I don't agree."
Those 100 geese are Xia Hai's darling. They make feed and take them for a walk every day. How could they agree to give it to Charlotte?
His son knows best that he can't raise those geese at most. If he can raise them well, Xia Hai doesn't believe it.
Charlotte was full of confidence. "Let's make a bet. If I can't raise a goose that you are satisfied with, I will go back to Paris to find a good job. If I win, you must agree to let me choose what to do in the future without interference."
"Well, do you dare to take this bet?"
