Maybe Wang Jianli really wanted to help him . He called a meeting in the Village Committee in the afternoon to discuss this matter .

The majority parts of those lands belonged to nobody . In the past few years, Wang Yao had gained himself a good reputation . Therefore, no one in the committee was against the proposal .
Wang Jianli visited Wang Yao in his home that night .
“Hello, Jianli, please come in,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“Evening, Uncle Jianli,” Wang Yao said .
“Your proposal has been passed by the committee . Come to the office to complete the paperwork tomorrow,” Wang Jianli said .
“Thank you very much,” Wang Yao said .
He didn’t expect any big barriers for his proposal, but he was still surprised that the matter was settled so fast .
“It would be a waste to leave those lands empty anyway . By the way, what are you going to do with them?” Wang Jianli asked .
“I want to plant some trees there to improve the environment,” Wang Yao said .
“Really?” Wang Jianli asked with surprise .
“Yeah, I just want to plant some trees,” Wang Yao said .
“Fair enough,” Wang Jianli said with a smile as he shook his hand .
He didn’t really get why Wang Yao, such a capable young man, was willing to stay in this small village . He was different to most people of his age, and he was a really nice person . It didn’t cost much for the villagers to see him in the clinic . Some of the villagers didn’t even have to pay at all to get cured . So, Wang Jianli thought Wang Yao was worth his help .
Wang Jianli went home after chatting and smoking with Wang Yao’s family and smoking .
Wang Yao left home soon after Wang Jianli’s departure .
“San Xian, that piece of land at the foot of the hill will be ours, too,” Wang Yao said as he pointed at the land .
Woof! Woof! San Xian was barking happily as if he understood what Wang Yao said .
“You’ll have more space in the future,” Wang Yao said .
Should I get more help since the piece of land is so big?
Wang Yao thought he should have more animal friends to look after his land and hill .
“Maybe I should have a few more dogs?” Wang Yao asked .

Woof! Woof!
“What? You don’t want company?” Wang Yao asked .
Woof! Woof!
“You want to stay single? Alright, fair enough,” Wang Yao said with a smile as he patted San Xian .
The next morning, Wang Yao went to the Village Committee to complete the paperwork . In the afternoon, he didn’t return to his clinic because Li Shiyu came with a big truck of trees .
“Dr . Wang, how many more do you need?” Li Shiyu asked .
“I need a lot,” Wang Yao said . “See? That big piece of land will belong to me . ” Wang Yao pointed at a U-shaped piece of land at the foot of Nanshan hill .
There was a small reservoir near Nanshan Hill that had been contracted by one of Wang Jianli’s brothers . Wang Jianli mentioned the previous night that the reservoir would also belong to Wang Yao after the contract ended in a month .
“Do you want to plant trees in majority of the land?” Li Shiyu asked .
“Yes,” Wang Yao said .
He had a plan . He was going to divide the piece of land into blocks and plant different trees in different blocks . He was going to plant apple trees, pear trees, and cherry trees . Once the fruits were ripe, he could offer them to his friends and family .
“Do you want me to offer all the trees?” Li Shiyu asked .
“Yes,” Wang Yao said “Is there a problem?”
“Of course not . I’ll offer you the best trees with the most reasonable prices,” Li Shiyu said as he patted on his chest .
Wang Yao would need a large amount of trees for such a big piece of land . This was a great business opportunity for Li Shiyu .
He thought it was pleasant to do business with Wang Yao, who always made payment straight away . Of course, that was partly because the trees provided by Li Shiyu were of high quality .
“These trees are all I need for now,” Wang Yao said . “In the near future, here and over there will belong to me . I’ve contracted all the hills nearby . ” He pointed to the hills on the east and west sides .
“Are you going to plant trees all over those places?” Li Shiyu asked .
“I’m going to plant trees at majority of the places,” Wang Yao said .
He planned to have trees and herbs in those areas .
“Good! Good!” Li Shiyu looked at those vacant lands as if he was looking at a big amount of cash waving at him . “That’s great!”

“Well, shall we take the trees off the truck?” Wang Yao suggested .
“Sure . ” Li Shiyu asked his co-workers to take the trees off the truck .
At the same time, Wang Yao transferred payment to Li Shiyu’s bank account through his mobile phone .
“I have to go now,” Li Shiyu said .
“That’s fine, see you later,” Wang Yao said .
The trees were of different sizes, all meeting Wang Yao’s requirements .
“Let’s start to work, San Xian,” he said .
Wang Yao had divided the area into different blocks and ordered two types of trees this time, white birches and elms . He was going to build a wall with the trees, a big wall of trees to almost block the entrance of Nanshan Hill . He only wanted to leave a narrow path leading to the hill .
There had been some trees around that area, most of which were old hawthorn trees . Some of them were even older than Wang Yao . He was not going to touch those old trees . He would let them continue to grow . He was going to plant new trees in vacant areas only .
As the piece of land was U-shaped, a large amount of trees would be required . The distance from east to west was nearly 1,640 feet . It would take thousands of trees to block that area .
Wang Yao also wanted to block the entrance of Dongshan Hill and Xishan Hill . However, he was in no hurry .
He planted dozens of trees in the afternoon at the foot of Nanshan Hill . He dug a small creek to attract the water from reservoir to the trees he had just planted .
A small piece of green appeared on the U-shaped land .
I shouldn’t interfere with that piece of cultivated land . Wang Yao looked north as he was standing on a tree . The land he was looking at was the most level piece of land in the village . There was a small river running in the middle . That piece of land was the most suitable for growing wheat and corns .
But, the other areas will be wasted .
Woof! Woof! San Xian suddenly barked as he saw two people walking on the footpath in the distance .
“How are you feeling? Tired?” one of them asked .
“No, I’m fine, Bro,” the other one said .
The two people were Zhong Xiuchuan and Zhong Anxin . They had a walk after evening dinner and came toward Nanshan Hill .
Wang Yao jumped off the tree, which was several feet tall .
“Hmm?” Zhong Liuchuan heard the noise Wang Yao made and looked up . However, he only saw trees .

“San Xian, go back to the herbal field now,” Wang Yao said .
San Xian ran off immediately .
“Wow, brother, what is that?” Zhong Anxin asked .
She saw an animal as big as a small lion in distance running up the hill rapidly .
“I think it’s a dog,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
“Wow, it’s huge!” Zhong Anxin was amazed .
“Yeah, it is huge,” Zhong Xiuchuan said . Although they were still far from Nanshan Hill, he could tell San Xian was a very big dog .
Soon, they saw Wang Yao appear on the path .
“Hello, Dr . Wang,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
“Hello, having a walk?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes . We just finished dinner and wanted a bit of exercise,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
“You look well . How are you feeling?” Wang Yao asked Zhong Anxin .
“Much better . I don’t feel any pain in my belly, and I feel stronger,” Zhong Anxin replied .
She had two treatment sessions in the past few days . The unhealthy yellowish color on her face had almost disappeared . The color of her eyes had also returned to normal . She looked much better .
“Good, you guys take your time . I have to go now,” Wang Yao said .
“OK, see you later,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
Wang Yao went home alone .
“Hmm? Auntie and Uncle are here?” He found visitors in his house .
“Yes, we’ve been waiting for you,” Zhang Xiuying said .
It just occurred to Wang Yao when he was having dinner that his cousin, his youngest aunt’s son, was about to take the university entry exam . This cousin was doing very well at school . He was among the top 20 students in his year .
“Which university is Zhen Fang applying?” Wang Yao asked .
“Not sure . It depends on the results of the university entry exam,” Wang Yao’s youngest aunt said .
“Zhen Fang is a good student . He’ll be fine,” Wang Yao said .
His aunt and her husband didn’t stay long after dinner . They just chatted with Zhang Xiuying for a short while . Wang Yao gave them quite a bit of food before they left .
“You don’t need to give us all this,” Wang Yao’s aunt said .
“We don’t need so much food . We won’t be able to eat all of it . Take it with you . ” Zhang Xiuying placed all the food inside the trunk of the car .
“Your auntie’s husband has been having some problems at work,” Zhang Xiuying said after her sister had left .
“What happened?” Wang Yao asked .
“You know your auntie’s husband is a very quiet person,” Zhang Xiuying said . “The management recently changed in his workplace . All the new managers are much younger . He has been transferred back to the front line . ”
“He doesn’t want to work at the front line?” Wang Yao asked .
“No, working at the back is less busy,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“I see . Mom, ask auntie if her husband really wants to go back to his previous role . I might be able to help him,” Wang Yao said .
“You know any of the managers there?” Zhang Xiuying asked .
“Not really, but one of my friends knows someone there,” Wang Yao said .
He had gotten to know quite a few people lately . However, he wouldn’t ask for help from one of his patients .
“OK, I’m ringing your auntie now,” Zhang Xiuying said .
Wang Yao waited at home instead of leaving for Nanshan Hill .
“He said he prefers his previous role,” Zhang Xiuying said after hanging up .
“OK, I see,” Wang Yao said .
He left home for Nanshan Hill after confirming the information with his mother .
It was very windy that night .
Wang Yao took out a piece of paper and placed it on the table in his cottage . He had made adjustments to the draft . He had been working on the arrangement of the U-shaped land for days .
