Chapter 842: Uncle's Family (1/3)
The next day
Almost all the guests from afar left.
Only my uncle and cousin are left, and it is estimated that they will stay here for a few more days.
In the evening, her mother Wang Guilan quietly called Zhang Feng outside the courtyard and said to Zhang Feng: "Xiaofeng, I see what your uncle means, he seems to want to grow our Moon Lake vegetables, what do you think we should do?"
"What?, grow Moon Lake vegetables?" Zhang Feng was also a little surprised, then shook his head and said: "Their family lives so far away, let's harvest the vegetables they plant?
"What should I do then? Xiaofeng, he's your uncle anyway, so you still have to think of a way to help their family." Wang Guilan looked at her son and said seriously.
In the countryside, if your own family is developed, regardless of your previous relatives, you will be gossiped about by the seven aunts and eight aunts, although everyone doesn't care, but how to say that the other party is Wang Guilan's younger brother and Zhang Feng's own uncle, which cannot be ignored.
"Okay, I know Mom, do you think this is okay, I think their family wants to grow vegetables is just to increase their income and make some money, I will think about it later, see if there is anything suitable for their family!"
Zhang Feng thought about it and said with a smile, I don't want to embarrass my mother, and helping outsiders is helping, isn't it more appropriate to help my own uncle? Although the two families don't have much contact.
"Hehe, that's good, in fact, your uncle was very good before he got married, he used to come to our house often and help our family work, but since he got married, alas, don't talk about it, your aunt is ......like that" Speaking of Zhang Feng's aunt, mother Wang Guilan couldn't help but shake her head.
That's a person who picks the door to the point where the five relatives don't recognize, to what extent, that is, Zhang Feng and they go to his grandmother's house, as long as they play for two more days, they will be driven home, in her opinion, Zhang Feng These people only eat and don't work, don't drive away, what are they doing at home?
That's right, Zhang Feng was driven over once, but since that time, Zhang Feng has never been to his uncle's house, as for his grandparents and grandmothers, they have all passed away a long time ago, and Zhang Feng has never seen them.
"Mom, I remember that my uncle's house is very suitable for growing chestnuts, right?" Zhang Feng thought for a while and then asked.
"Yes, now your uncle's family has planted some, and there can be a harvest of thousands of catties every year! Didn't he bring dozens of catties to our family yesterday?" Wang Guilan said with a smile.
"Then they will continue to grow chestnuts, and when the time comes, I will let them change to a better variety, hoping that it will be satisfied!"
Zhang Feng was a little worried that his uncle would not accept it, especially his bitter aunt, because chestnuts do not bear fruit in the first year, even if the variety is good and the management is good, it will take two or three years to make a profit.
Hearing Zhang Feng's concern, Wang Guilan also frowned: "Then what should I do?
"Interplanting, interplanting?" Suddenly Zhang Feng's eyes lit up, because Moon Lake was on CCTV's "Get Rich" not long ago, so Zhang Feng also watched a few episodes, and remembered that there was a pumpkin in the orchard on it, and the program said that one mu can harvest six or seven thousand catties, it is still an ordinary pumpkin, if it is a good pumpkin variety, there is no problem at all if you sell a piece of a catty!
Okay!
Zhang Feng smiled and waved his hand, feeling that the idea of interplanting pumpkins in the chestnut orchard was very good, so that the income of six or seven thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan could be increased without one mu of land, and I believe that my uncle should be very satisfied.
"Mom, what do you think of my thoughts?" Zhang Feng told his mother all his thoughts, and then asked his mother's opinion.
"Hehe, yes, as long as the pumpkin variety is good, your uncle will definitely be willing, and now their family's income from farming is not high, only more than 10,000 a year!" Wang Guilan nodded with satisfaction, feeling that her son's method was good.
"That's okay, I'll talk to my uncle later!" Hearing his mother's words, Zhang Feng finally put his heart at ease, after all, the other party is still his own uncle, a relative who grew up with his mother since childhood, so he can help him, Zhang Feng also feels at ease.
Back to the hall.
Zhang Feng added his cousin and uncle and came to the back study.
"Uncle, Brother Qiang sits!"
"Hey, Xiaofeng!" Uncle sat down a little nervously, after all, Zhang Feng's family was so difficult a few years ago, he couldn't help, and said that this time it was a little difficult to talk about.
"Uncle, listen to my mother, you still have a lot of chestnuts?" Zhang Feng smiled and asked.
"Actually, it's not much, it's just one acre or two acres of land, and I can't sell it for four or five thousand yuan if I don't come!" said the uncle with some embarrassment.
"Why didn't Brother Qiang go to work this year?" Zhang Feng turned his head and asked his cousin on the side curiously.
"Hehe......" Brother Qiang scratched his head embarrassedly.
At this moment, the uncle glared at his son and said with a smile: "The family found a partner for your cousin, and he was going to get married in the first month, so he didn't go out to work!"
"Oh, this is a good thing, congratulations to Brother Qiang......" Zhang Feng's impression of Brother Qiang is not bad, he is a bit honest, honest and sincere, and has no fancy intestines.
"Hehe, thank you, please come over for a drink when the time comes!" Brother Qiang said to Zhang Feng happily.
"Of course you have to go, and you should inform us in advance when the time comes. Zhang Feng smiled and immediately agreed.
Then everyone chatted a few words and got down to business.
"Uncle, I don't know if I heard that you want to join the Moon Lake Cooperative?"
"This ...... This, Xiao Feng, do you think it's okay?" the uncle asked Zhang Feng in a hurry.
"Of course you can, but you can't grow vegetables unless you grow something else. Zhang Feng smiled.
"Then what are we going to plant?" the uncle hurriedly asked in surprise, he didn't expect Zhang Feng to agree so easily, and at the same time he felt very guilty that he hadn't been able to help his sister's family all these years.
"Uncle, what do you think is suitable for planting?" Zhang Feng asked his uncle and cousin with a smile, wanting to understand their thoughts first, after all, the twisted melon is not sweet, and it would be better if they could have a better proposal.
"This ...... Xiaofeng, we don't have any ideas for the time being, why don't you talk about it?" Before coming, in fact, my uncle and cousin had discussed that they would grow Moon Lake vegetables like everyone else, but they had been denied by Zhang Feng just now, and they had no idea for a while.
Subsequently, Zhang Feng told the plan to plant chestnuts and then interplant pumpkins in the chestnut orchard.
When the two learned that planting one acre of pumpkin could have a harvest of tens of thousands of catties, and the cooperative also purchased it at a high price of one yuan per catty, they were pleasantly surprised, looking at Zhang Feng's expression with great eagerness, and at the same time they were very grateful.
You must know that although their family is in a remote mountain village in the next county, there are indeed a lot of fields, and their family alone has twenty or thirty acres, and if they are all planted with chestnuts and pumpkins, they can have an income of two or three hundred thousand yuan a year.
