Chapter 115: See Your Majesty
"Daughter-in-law, let's go to the countryside for a walk. Li Mu looked at Sheng A County, which was more developed than his hometown, and suddenly wanted to see what the countryside here was like. Anyway, you can't spend all your money, so why don't you take out the money and lead your hometown to get rich?
"Okay, let's go back and drive. Su Ying did not refuse.
Following Su Ying, he returned to the community of Su Ying's house, and Su Ying sat in the cab. This car belongs to Su Ying's father, a Volkswagen. The two of them didn't drive when they came to Su Ying's hometown, so they could only drive Su's father's car.
The countryside is not far from the county seat, along the way, Li Mu saw many pear trees, one by one huge pears hanging on the trees, looking very cute. On the other side of the road are apple trees, which are already turning red. It looks like it's almost ripe.
Su Ying drove the car to the courtyard of a small three-story western-style building and stopped. "This is Uncle Yang's family, he is the village chief here. Usually, he arranged for someone to deliver the picked fruit to my father's processing factory. When my dad came, he always parked his car in the yard of Uncle Yang's house. ”
"Ouch, rare guest. When I heard the sound of a car, I thought it was someone. I didn't expect it to be Xiaoying, who is this?" At this time, a woman heard the sound of a car and went out to check. Seeing that it was Su Ying, he hurriedly said hello.
"Aunt He, my boyfriend wants to come and see the orchard in our village. I'll take him to take a look, it won't affect you to park the car in your yard, right?" Su Ying greeted the middle-aged woman with a smile.
"You girl, you're too outward. Come in and sit down and have a glass of water. Aunt He waved her hand. Hurriedly invited Su Ying and Li Mu into the house.
"Aunt He, why didn't you see Uncle Yang?" Su Ying asked politely as she followed behind Aunt He.
"He's in the orchard. Isn't it that the pears are ripe, and he has to help pick them. Aunt He lifted out the stool and motioned for Li Mu and Su Ying to sit.
"Aunt He, we also want to go to the orchard to have a look. You don't have to be busy. Su Ying looked at Aunt He, who was preparing tea, and hurriedly persuaded her. Li Mu also nodded, he mainly came to see how the development was going and learned from the experience.
"Drink saliva first. I'll go to the orchard and bring them water later, and we'll go together when the water boils. I'm not going to pour you any more water, but I'm going to drink this. Aunt He took out two bottles of milk from the refrigerator.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Aunt He walked out with two kettles. "Xiaoying, let's go. Let's go together. ”
"Aunt He, let me help you carry it. Li Mu stepped forward and reached out to pick up the kettle in Aunt He's hand.
"No, just come with me. Aunt He didn't hand the kettle to Li Mu, but walked out of the door with the kettle, and Li Mu and Su Ying had no choice but to follow behind.
"By the way, Xiaoying, what's your boyfriend's name?"
"Li Mu, his name is Li Mu. Su Ying replied.
"Li Mu, if you want to try it, just pick it. They are all home-grown, so they are more comfortable than those pears on the market. Xiaoying, you too, if you want to eat, you can pick it yourself, and I can't pick it up for you with a kettle in my hand. Aunt He motioned to her left and right kettle.
"Well, okay, thank you, Aunt He. Li Mu nodded in agreement, but did not reach out to pick the pears on the fruit tree.
Along the way, Li Mu looked at the many buildings around him. Basically, they are all three-storey bungalows, and there are even a few European villa styles. It can be seen that the village has developed very well by planting fruits. Due to the presence of Su's father's processing plant, farmers are not worried about unsalable fruits. Solve their worries, unless there is a natural disaster, otherwise they will definitely earn.
As soon as I stepped into the fruit grove, I saw women picking fruits under the trees, and the men carried them to the side with baskets on their backs. Busy in full swing. Many fruit farmers obviously knew Su Ying, and greeted Su Ying when they saw her. "Xiaoying, come to help your dad inspect the work?"
In the face of these good-natured ridicules, Su Ying replied with a smile. Li Mu followed behind and gave these people cigarettes. After a short time, Aunt He stopped by a truck.
"Uncle Yang. Su Ying shouted at a middle-aged man on the side of the truck.
"Xiaoying, this is your boyfriend Li Mu. I just got back from your factory. Your dad is about to boast about your boyfriend. Uncle Yang hurriedly stepped forward, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Li Mu.
"Li Mu, we are all ordinary people. Don't dislike me for my low-grade cigarettes. ”
"How so? Uncle Yang, I also grew up in the countryside. Li Mu hurriedly took the cigarette with both hands. He doesn't dislike the quality of cigarettes, and he doesn't have much time to smoke, but he will always be ready to have some on him. Sometimes send it to others.
After the polite words were finished, Li Mu paid attention to the busy crowd, and after some people carried the pears here, they immediately changed to another basket and continued to carry the next trip. A group of people next to the cart loaded the pears from the basket into the truck.
"Uncle Yang, are you a collective orchard?" Li Mu looked at the scene along the way, as if everyone was acting collectively. It's not like an individual orchard, it's built together.
"Of course not, this is Yang Erwa's house. Everyone is from the same village, today I will help your family pick, tomorrow you will help my family pick. Anyway, with Xiaoying's father here, our pears are not afraid that they will not be sold. Over the years, everyone has become accustomed to this method. Uncle Yang shook his head.
Li Mu helped load the car for a while, and it was not early. Coupled with Su's mother's phone call, Li Mu had no choice but to follow Su Ying home.
"How do you feel?" asked Su Ying as he looked at Li Mu in the co-pilot.
"It's harmonious. Li Mu didn't just think of his hometown. Although there is no fruit forest in my hometown, when I repair the house after the earthquake, it is similar to this scene, today I will help you repair it, and tomorrow you will help me repair it.
"Well, every time I come here, I feel that the people here are very human, not like in Rongcheng. Su Ying said approvingly.
stayed at Su Ying's house for three days. Li Mu also discovered one thing, that is, his hometown is not suitable for planting fruit trees. First of all, my hometown is halfway up the mountainside, and there is still some distance from the road, unlike here, where the orchard is next to the road. The transportation is not convenient, and it is very troublesome to pick the fruit when the time comes.
The second is that the fruit trees grow slowly, and secondly, there is no good market. It's not like here, there is Su Ying's father. If you get a processing plant yourself, you have to find a market. There are even backlogs in some cases. The fruit rots in his own hands.
Although Li Mu is not afraid of losses, it is impossible to put money into it every year. If that's the case, it's better to send money to every household. If you want to take the village to get rich, you have to be self-sufficient, and you can lose money for a year or two. But you can't lose it for a lifetime.
Li Mu did not go back to Rongcheng with Su Ying or Yangcheng, but returned to his hometown GY. After returning to his hometown, Li Mu first went to see Li Wei's pig farm, and he made a great deal.
Li Mu goes out every day to go shopping, thinking about how to build his hometown.
