"Awen, go to the field and call your dad back. ”

"Okay!"

Before Xia Yu could stop it, Xia Dongwen ran out.

Xia Yu cleaned up his mood and sat down again, chatting with Gu Yuedi.

He does have something to find his grandfather Xia Xinhua in his previous life, and Gu Yuedi alone can't be the master.

After a while, Xia Yu saw a dark-skinned young man enter the yard, and then dropped his hoe and trotted in.

"Mr. Xia, you're here, eh, don't stand up, sit down!"

"I just went to work in the fields, so I've kept you waiting!"

"It's okay, I should have disturbed your work and asked you to run back. ”

......

While talking and laughing, Xia Xinhua also sat at the table, while Gu Yuedi took three men, one woman and four children to sit on the chairs on the side.

Xia Yu also cleaned up his mood, and asked with concern: "Uncle, is there a family of six now?"

Xia Xinhua said with a smile: "It's a family of six, all here, the food is okay, barely hungry, it's better than other villages, after all, the clan will also take care of it, there are fewer lazy people in the team, and there is more food every year." ”

Xia Yu nodded thoughtfully.

Now is not the period of the household responsibility system, every village has a production brigade, the land belongs to the peasants, everyone works together and eats in a big pot, and after a long time, there will certainly be more people who will be indiscriminately filled, and the grain output and efficiency will also be lower.

I still remember that at this point in time, it has only been a year since Xiaogang Village secretly implemented the division of fields into households, and the grain production in one year is equivalent to that of the past few years.

In this way, he has to give a boost to the situation in order to better implement the plan in his heart.

Xia Yu asked again: "Uncle, is there a fruit tree in the village?"

Xia Xinhua didn't know why Xia Yu was asking this, but he still replied truthfully: "The commune only planted fifty acres of peaches and fifty acres of chestnuts, and just opened the mountain last year to plant twenty acres of oranges, but each family planted some miscellaneous fruits by themselves, and they didn't expect to sell them for money." ”

Xia Yu nodded and asked again: "There is a kind of orange, I don't know if you know navel oranges?"

"Navel oranges, do you mean the ones with a navel at the bottom?"

"Yes!"

"No, but I heard that there is a kind of orange in the town next door, and 600 acres of mountain forests are planted, and there is a small part of navel oranges, I have seen it, but I have never eaten it, and I don't know how it tastes. ”

"Is this navel orange a good sale?"

Seeing Xia Xinhua's puzzled eyes, Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and affirmed: "It's very easy to sell, a few years ago, at the Canton Fair, the price of selling to Xiangjiang reached 18 Hong Kong dollars per kilogram, and it was about 15 yuan when converted into RMB." ”

Xia Xinhua's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Seven yuan and five yuan for a catty?"

Xia Yu nodded: "Yes, but there is also a reason that the quantity is too small, if the quantity increases, the price will go down, but if it is exported to the outside of the mainland, it is not a problem to sell it for a few yuan a catty." ”

Xia Xinhua was short of breath, and his face was flushed, but because of his dark face, his complexion became red and black.

Seeing this, the corners of Xia Yu's mouth raised slightly.

He said this on purpose, just to arouse the thoughts in Xia Xinhua's heart.

This is Xia Yu, after thinking about it for a long time, he found a way out for his family in his previous life, as well as the entire Xia Village.

In the previous life, every family in Xia Village planted navel oranges, but Xia Yu's family has always had bad luck.

At that time, it was planted in 2003, and my father Xia Dongfang was very aggressive, and planted 500 trees in the mountain, and when it bore fruit in 2007, he sold it for a lot of money, and half of the capital was returned.

But helplessly in 2008, and encountered a rare snowstorm in a century, just because of some accidents, seven or eight days late did not sell, the heavy snow came, originally could still sell a pound of navel oranges, three cents a pound no one came to collect, frost damaged most of the fruit, and finally lost all the money.

After a few years of relief, I encountered Huanglongbing, which is known as "citrus cancer", and all the fruit trees died.

And if people still have fruit trees, they sell them for a high price of four or five yuan.

After ten years like this, the hard work has been in vain, and Xia's father and mother can only do odd jobs for the three Xia Yu brothers to go to school.

However, the family in the previous life did not lack hard work, only luck, and in this life, Xia Yu can make up for them.

"That, Ayu, navel oranges are so valuable, if we grow them, can we sell them?"

Xia Xinhua rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassed.

Xia Yu nodded and said: "Of course it can be sold, as long as the fruit is planted well, there is no worry that no one will buy it, and I know many people, so I can help sell it." ”

Xia Xinhua was pleasantly surprised, but still said worriedly: "I can go to the next town to inquire about the seedlings, but I don't know if they are willing to teach me planting techniques." ”

Xia Yu said with a smile: "Uncle, you can understand this matter first, I also hope to find some way out for the whole village, if you plant it at that time, it will be best if the whole village is willing to plant together, and it will be better to find a market if you have a scale." ”

Xia Xinhua said gratefully: "Ayu, thank you for worrying about the village!"

"As it should be!"

After speaking, Xia Yu asked Xia Xinhua to go out alone and came to the cypress tree in the yard.

"Uncle, I want to discuss something with you, I want to buy this cypress tree. ”

Looking at the cypress tree in front of him, Xia Xinhua was a little confused, and muttered: "How to buy this tree?"

"Where are you going to dig and plant? Just dig it, it's too much to buy it!"

Yesterday he also received a big red envelope from Xia Yu, and he was very grateful to Xia Yu, and now Xia Yu wants a tree, although the request is very strange, but it is impossible for him to ask for Xia Yu's money.

Xia Yu said with a smile: "Uncle, I don't want to dig it, I just want to buy this cypress tree, take a wooden sign with my name written on it, and hang it up." ”

"I'll get you a plank to nail right now. ”

As he spoke, Xia Xinhua wanted to find the nails of the plank.

Xia Yu grabbed him and hurriedly said, "Uncle, listen to me!"

"I'm not bad for money, I just like this tree, you can help me look at it, don't plant it to death, you take the money." ”

After speaking, Xia Yu took out the two stacks of banknotes that had already been prepared from the inner pocket of his clothes, stuffed them into Xia Xinhua's hand at a hidden angle, and whispered: "Uncle, you take this money, don't tell outsiders, just fulfill my wish." ”

Xia Xinhua looked at Xia Yu, looked down at the money in his hand, his eyes widened, he looked at Xia Yu suddenly, took a deep breath and asked in a low voice: "Ah Yu, what are you doing here, I can't ask for your money, you gave me a big red envelope yesterday, I can't ask for your money anymore." ”

Saying that, Xia Xinhua struggled to stuff the money back into Xia Yu's hands.

Xia Yu grabbed Xia Xinhua's hand tightly, stared at him directly, and said solemnly: "Uncle, the whole village, I will fall in love with your family, there are so many children in the family, it is not easy to start a family in the future, leave them some bottom, if you want to do a career, it is easier, your family is doing well is the biggest reward for me." ”

Hearing Xia Yu's sincere words, Xia Xinhua was silent, his eyes were red, and he nodded heavily: "Okay, Ayu, your kindness, my family will never forget!"

"Uncle, just help me plant this tree, put the money away, there are outsiders, it's not good to spread it. ”

Xia Xinhua knew that Xia Yu was referring to Xia Yongquan in the house, so he nodded and kicked the money into his pocket, pulling up his clothes to cover it.

After that, Xia Yu and Xia Xinhua re-entered the house, drank the tea and said goodbye, Xia Xinhua insisted on sending Xia Yu out.

"Uncle, I'll leave first, and I'll come back when I'm free!"

"You must come here, just like your own home!"

"Okay!"

Xia Yu nodded with a smile on his face, and then turned to leave.

With these two thousand yuan, the grandfather Xia Xinhua's family in the previous life can also live better, this tree, just think that he is accompanying them in the previous life!

Like the evergreen cypress in all seasons, quietly accompany them!

Because Xia Yu understands that from the moment he came to Xia Village and came to his grandfather's house in his previous life, he in his previous life would no longer exist!
