This year's Spring Festival, the Qi family's New Year was lively and hurried. After all, there is a mountain depression as big as the granary river 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 idle, was officially on holiday after the morning shift on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Accompanied Su Min to her house for a simple lunch, and gave her future father-in-law and mother-in-law and sister-in-law Su Rui who went home for the New Year to pay a farewell to her early years, and hurried back to her hometown in District 5.

Back at home, grandma, 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 didn't I take a vacation in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I forgot? Don't stand, come and help me get something. Qi Jingtao bluffed his face and asked his sister to help him carry the 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 mother and grandmother are busy. Qi Lin reported on the family while helping the elder brother carry things.

"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 of the Chinese New Year's Eve are all going back to their own homes, each looking for their own mothers, and leaving relatives is also the second day of the Lunar New Year. Under normal circumstances, married daughters will not go back to their mother's house for New Year's dinner, unless they occasionally return to their mother's house to visit relatives for the New Year, they will have Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at their mother's house.

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, the people in the village committee delayed until the middle of December last year to get the contract, the eldest aunt has already mobilized the most equipment and manpower to repair the reservoir, the reservoir dam was repaired on January 20, and the water can be stored 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 for the New Year, and they can't find helpers, and the master's family is busy.

"Mom, for the Chinese 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 is jealous, it will be bad if the cave is not closed. ”

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

"Why not, do you think that no one has red eyes after your brother led people to dig that cave? 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.

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

"I don't know. Your second brother Jinghong instructed your father to hurry up and build a diversion canal and close the cave as soon as possible. In the future, there will also be guards on duty. Your second brother Jinghong said, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, if someone really wants to make it bad, a few packs of explosives will be done, and there are 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.

Qi Jingtao listened to what his mother said, and comforted his mother and sister with a smile: "Hehe, there are few people on the construction site during the Chinese New Year, so our family should pay more attention and not give those people a chance." ”

Qi Jingtao is also calm, now it is a legal society, this kind of thing that people and gods are angry about, it is possible to happen 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, add more wages to those who are in a hurry, and they will be fine after surviving these days. Chen Huifen smiled disapprerovingly, she wasn't actually worried about what would happen, just as a small talk, to add some life experience to her children.

Since there is no big deal, the Qi family's current big deal is cooking, and even grandma is peeling and washing ingredients in the yard. Fortunately, the ingredients needed today have already been scraped and prepared by the uncles and aunts of the family 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 are Chinese New Year's Eve rice. Fat chicken, green vegetables, radish and yam chaos, stewed lotus root, stewed pork ribs, braised carp, fried celery, fried garlic sprouts, and then match yourself with the right dishes, 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 two brothers and sisters followed their father to greet the workers who were still under construction, distributed New Year's red envelopes, ate a few bites of food together, and accompanied a few glasses of wine before taking their father to say goodbye to the eldest aunt who stayed on duty and went back to their home to eat their family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Wang Wenxin was not blessed to go 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, where he was on duty to drink and stay up late.

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

Rural people still work in line with the simple concept of fighting tigers and brothers, and going into battle as father and son. The basic management team of the ecological orchard is composed of the Qi family headed by Qi Zhengming. Qi Jingtao has no opinion on this.

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 if it fails? Dad is happy.
