Chapter 163: This year, he's busy

This year's Spring Festival, Qi Jingtao's family was lively and hurried. After all, there is a mountain depression the size of a granary river orchard under construction. Qi Zhengming is busy, and Wang Wenxin, the eldest aunt of the Qi family, who is responsible for the construction management of the project, is even busier.

Qi Jingtao, who seemed to be busy, was officially on holiday after finishing his morning shift at Nanyan Group on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Qi Jingtao, who is no longer a single dog, accompanied Su Min to her house for a simple lunch, and gave her future father-in-law and mother-in-law, as well as her sister-in-law Su Rui, who went home for the New Year, to pay a farewell to her early years, so that she could hurry back to her hometown in District 5.

Back at home, Qi Jingtao saw that his grandmother, mother and Qi Lin were busy preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Qi Lin saw the elder brother carrying the big cardboard box into the yard, and complained dissatisfiedly: "Brother, why did you come back?"

"When is it not the Chinese New Year's Eve that I have a holiday, forgot? Do you think it's fun to help others work? Don't stand, come and help me move things." Qi Jingtao blushed and instructed his sister to help him carry the various New Year's goods he brought home from the carriage.

"Hehe, I'm busy. Brother, I have to prepare a few tables of New Year's dinner today. My mom and grandma and I were busy. Qi Lin helped the elder brother carry things while reporting to the elder brother about the family.

"The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is eaten by each family, and there are only five people in our family, how can we prepare several tables of New Year's dinner?" Qi Jingtao asked his sister puzzled.

The customs in central Yunnan are like this, the Chinese New Year's Eve and meals in the Chinese New Year's Eve are all going back to their own homes, each looking for their own mothers, and going to visit relatives only starts on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Under normal circumstances, even the married daughter of the family will not go back to her mother's house for New Year's dinner, unless the daughter's family who works and lives far away occasionally returns to her mother's house to visit relatives for the New Year, she will have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at her mother's house. This custom is very stubborn and cannot be changed at will. Qi Jingtao really couldn't understand how many tables of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner should be prepared at home, could it be that the three aunts' families were going to meet their mother's family for the New Year?

Qi Lin glanced at the elder brother and blamed: "It's all your fault, when the Chinese New Year is approaching, I hurriedly led people to dig out the karst cave in the granary river." Dad and aunt led people to work in the cave, and they couldn't go home for the New Year. The people in the village who helped to cook have gone home for the New Year, what about their Chinese New Year's Eve dinner? The lunch has just been delivered, and I have to prepare the New Year's dinner in the afternoon, so I am busy today. ”

"What can be done? Those people in the village committee dragged their feet and dragged on until mid-December to get the contract done. In order to plant fruit tree seedlings this year, my aunt has mobilized the most equipment and manpower to repair the reservoir. The dam was repaired on January 20 and could only be impounded in early February. If you don't dig out the cave before the Chinese New Year to store water, how can you transplant fruit saplings after the New Year?" Qi Jingtao explained to his sister the reason why he rushed to dig the cave a year ago.

"Come over and help, and your aunt will send a car to pull the food at five o'clock. Chen Huifen came out of the kitchen and urged her son and daughter to come over and help.

Qi Jingtao and Qi Lin finished carrying the New Year's goods and hurried into the kitchen to help cook. Rural people do things, and it's really not a good thing to rush to work during the New Year, and they can't find a helper, and the host is busy with it.

"Mom, for the New Year, just flow out the water to store water in the reservoir, why do you have to rush to work at this time?" Qi Jingtao was busy working, and he didn't forget to ask his mother.

"Your father and your aunt are not worried about the water source at the mouth of the cave, in case someone breaks it, it will be bad if something happens while the cave is not closed. ”

"Wouldn't it?" Qi Lin was surprised.

"Why not? You think that after your brother led someone to dig that cave, no one's eyes were red? In case someone makes a blast at the water outlet, and the situation inside the belly of the mountain is complicated, who knows if the water will disappear?" Chen Huifen calmly told her daughter the worst possibility. The daughter has grown up, there is no need to avoid those sophisticated things, and she should let her know what is going on at home.

"Who is so ruthless? Qi Jingtao asked with squinted eyes.

"Nonsense, whoever wants to make trouble will tell you in advance? Your second brother Jinghong instructed your father to hurry up and build a diversion canal and close the mouth of the cave as soon as possible. In the future, there will be people on duty at the entrance of the cave to protect the water source. Your second brother Jinghong said, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens. If someone really wants to break it, a few packets of explosives will be enough, and there will be more people who can open mountains and blow up rocks. Chen Huifen explained to her son and daughter the shady things that could happen in the village.

After listening to his mother, Qi Jingtao relieved himself and comforted his mother and sister with a smile: "Hehe, there are few people on the construction site during the Chinese New Year. Our family should pay more attention and not give those people a chance. ”

Qi Jingtao was also calm. Now it is a legal society, and the wanton destruction of the water outlet is a matter of common anger to people and gods, and it is possible to do it secretly, and no one dares to do it. Just pay attention to your own home, there is no need to be nervous and scare yourself.

"Hehe, your father and your aunt said the same thing. That is, to increase the wages of those who are in a hurry, work overtime to close the mouth of the cave, and survive the next few days, and it will be fine. Chen Huifen smiled disapprecitately. She wasn't really worried about what would happen, she just thought it was just a small talk, adding some life lessons to her smooth sailing children.

Since there is no major event, the current major task at home is to hurry up and cook and ensure logistics for the people who are rushing to work on the construction site. The two brothers and sisters were busy helping their mother cook, and even their grandmother was stripping and washing the ingredients in the yard. Fortunately, the main ingredients needed today, the aunts of the family have already helped to scrape and prepare them at noon, and Qi Jingtao and Qi Lin only need to cooperate with their mother to cook them.

The Chinese New Year's Eve meal in rural Yunnan is actually very simple, there are not too many dishes, as long as there are essential dishes, it is the standard Chinese New Year's Eve meal. The big dishes of the Chinese New Year's Eve meal are fatty chicken and green vegetables, radish and yam wontons, stewed lotus root, stewed pork ribs, braised large carp, fried celery, fried garlic seedlings, and then match yourself with the right dishes, and make up enough for more than a dozen dishes. Eating on the construction site is not so particular, the oil and water are sufficient, the quantity is sufficient, and the pipe is full. Of course, it's even better to have a sip of wine.

After working for half a day, my mother prepared two Chinese New Year's Eve dinners. Qi Jingtao and Qi Lin, brother and sister, drove by themselves and went to the outlet of the granary river with the small box truck sent by their aunt to pick up food. The brother and sister followed their father to greet the workers who were still under construction and distribute New Year's red envelopes. Accompany everyone to eat a few bites of food and accompany a few glasses of wine, before taking my father to say goodbye to the aunt who stayed on duty and returning to his home to eat their family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Wang Wenxin was not blessed to go back to his home for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, he took a few people to guard the outlet of the reservoir that had not yet been completed. Light a bonfire and stay up late drinking on duty there. Who made him the chief commander of the project or the eldest aunt of the people? On Chinese New Year's Eve, he had to personally guard the construction site.

From the beginning of the Lunar New Year, Qi Zhengming and several good brothers of his own family also took turns to be stationed at the outlet of the underground river karst cave, where the lifeline of the granary river development is located, and organized workers to build the diversion canal of the outlet while working overtime to organize workers to build the diversion canal of the outlet and the reinforcement, closure and transformation of the diversion canal of the outlet karst cave, while discussing the formation of the management team of the ecological orchard.

Rural people still act in line with the simple thinking concept of fighting tigers and brothers and going into battle as fathers and sons. In the future, the scale of the Granary River Ecological Orchard is huge, and it cannot be managed as an ordinary orchard, and a basic management team must be formed. This management team is composed of the Qi family headed by Qi Zhengming. Regarding his father's arrangement, Qi Jingtao has no opinion.

This traditional management concept and the so-called modern advanced professional manager management concept are superior or inferior, Qi Jingtao can't judge, and he doesn't want to judge.

This orchard is prepared for his father Qi Zhengming, and his father can manage it as he pleases. The so-called ecological orchard sounds good, but in fact, it is not like that. Have sufficient capital investment, find a professional technical team to plan and check, and how to toss and follow my father's ideas to do it.

Qi Zhengming is a person who has been the captain of the production team for many years, and the three or four hundred people in the production team can be managed in an orderly manner. He knows the countryside better than Qi Jingtao, has more rural work experience, and is more familiar with orchard management, and he will never mess up his own family's affairs.

Besides, what can I do if I mess up a granary river orchard? For the current Qi Jingtao, if it doesn't hurt his muscles and bones, his father is happy.
