022 Unexpected guests
Early the next morning, before Gu Ren woke up, he heard Leizi's voice.
"Brother Aren, I'm here!"
Leizi yelled and entered the door.
Gu Ren had no choice but to get up and go out of the house.
I saw that Leizi's legs were covered with mud and he was carrying a head on his shoulders. The head is a farming tool, similar to a hoe, but without the curved part of the hoe, and digs deep.
"Leizi, why did you go, your legs are all mud?"
Gu Ren was sleepy-eyed.
"I took out the needle on the side of the road at the gate. So that it doesn't sting. ā
The needle that Lei Zi said is the sour jujube tree, which is covered with a lot of thorns, and when people and live animals pass by, they are accidentally pierced with thorns.
The vitality of the jujube tree is super tenacious, and after digging, only a single root remains before it can grow branches. The farmer hated the needle.
On both sides of the path leading to the main road from the old house, there are needles overgrown, including a large wasteland in front of it, which is full of needles and alkali grass.
"There are so many needles on the roadside, you dug them all?"
Gu Ren walked out of the gate and looked.
The path leading from the entrance to the main road in front of us was clean and smooth. I remember that there were at least dozens or hundreds of needles on both sides of this trail, and all of them were gone.
"You kid knows how to do it! After a while, you have to hire a hook machine to dig it, what are you in a hurry? ā
Gu Ren's eyes were white.
Lei Zi smiled, muttering in his heart, Gu Ren gave him a salary of five thousand a month, even if he worked hard, he had to do a good job and be worthy of this salary.
"Now that I'm resting in the yard, I'll wash my face and brush my teeth. ā
Gu Ren went back to the house and washed.
"Brother Aren, I'm not tired, what is in your old basin? Is it a scorpion?"
Leizi curiously walked to the old pot and urn, but he didn't dare to uncover it? He was already timid, the villagers had been catching scorpions for several years, and he didn't buy purple lamps to catch scorpions. It wasn't until the last time, when he went to the county seat with Gu Ren, that he bought a purple flashlight.
After a few days of exercise, I finally dared to catch scorpions with tweezers. But last time, Gu Ren tricked him into carrying two bags of live scorpions on his shoulders, leaving a shadow in his heart in fright.
With so many old pots and a few urns, it shouldn't be a scorpion, whose scorpion can raise so many.
"It's a little pet. ā
Gu Ren spit out the toothpaste bubbles in his mouth.
"Little pet...... Then I'm not afraid. ā
Leizi disagreed, and uncovered the lid on the old basin.
Half-old pot scorpions, densely packed. Seeing that the lid was lifted, the sun shone in, and all crawled...... One of the little scorpions didn't know how to tidy up, climbed to the edge, saw the wedge uncovered, and crawled onto the back of Leizi's hand.
"Ahh
Leizi let out a wolf roar in fright, and threw his arm hard before he threw the little scorpion in his hand into the old basin.
His face was pale with fright.
Gu Ren laughed again.
"Brother Ah Ren, you cheated me again!"
Leizi's skin was already black, but he was scared white just now, but now when he heard Gu Ren's banter, he turned red again, which was a bit embarrassing.
Gu Ren stopped laughing and gave an explanation.
"Leizi, it's not okay to be so timid all the time in the future, if you want to follow me, you must be bold. ā
"Brother Ah Ren, don't worry, I will definitely be bold in the future. ā
Leizi said seriously.
After Gu Ren finished brushing his teeth and washing his face, he took two bags of pure milk, threw one bag for Leizi, and drank one bag for himself, which was considered breakfast.
Then the two of them began to build the shed.
The shed is located in the westernmost part of the yard, next to the wall. The shed is very simple, that is, dozens of steel pipes are sleeved together, and the asbestos tiles are fixed on it, which has the simplest effect of preventing wind and sun.
The shed is very large, don't say that raising a pound of female scorpions, even if you raise dozens of pounds of female scorpions, it is not a problem. Once the scorpion house is built, it can be raised on a large scale.
However, it is also necessary to feed some mealworms, after all, the female scorpion cannot rely on purple qi alone to sustain life. Purple gas is widely used, and it can save a little bit of frugality, as long as it is promoted occasionally.
Mealworm farming is also easy, and a small space is isolated inside the shed to raise mealworms. My mother raised silkworms with my grandmother when she was a child, so I can leave mealworm breeding to my mother.
It's almost ten o'clock after finishing the shed, let Leizi go home for dinner, and he will also eat at his parents' side.
After eating, I helped my mother irrigate the vegetable garden.
When irrigating, no purple gas was added, and the growth of the vegetable garden was obviously slow, and the size was not as big as the first stubble. I picked a tomato and tasted it, the taste has not changed, and there is still an aura.
So much better.
The sales of vegetables have not been opened, and they only rely on Alin Restaurant, and the price cannot go up. If they don't want it, they will rot in the ground.
Therefore, for the time being, let the vegetables and fruits grow normally, and the vegetables and fruits picked are enough for the family to eat.
Occasionally, if there is an extra one, take it out and sell it, and if you can't sell it, you can give it to relatives and neighbors for free.
According to the current growth of the vegetable garden, it is estimated that a batch will be picked in three or four days.
After irrigating the vegetable garden, he went out leisurely and walked towards the old house.
"Ah Ren, what are you busy doing, going to your old house again?"
On the main road along the river, Gu Changhe, the village party secretary, came out of the back village on a motorcycle, and when he saw Gu Ren, he stopped the motorcycle. Behind the motorcycle sat the village chief Gu Guoan.
"Well, it's okay to be idle, Uncle An, where are you going. ā
Gu Ren nodded and smiled slightly at the two of them.
"Ahren...... We went to the township government for a meeting. When are you going to work at the county government?"
Gu Guoan smiled, just like Gu Changhe, he was an honest person. However, his son Gu Tianming is not a good bird, he is cheating and cheating, not like him at all.
"The county government works?"
Gu Ren was stunned, when did he say that he would go to work in the county government?
"You kid pretended to be stupid and ran to the city twice in three days. The leaders of the township government are your targets, and the leaders of the city have come to the village to talk to you, not to go to the county seat to work, but to do it!"
Gu Changhe was about to take out a cigarette, but Gu Ren blocked it, took out the soft China in his pocket, and handed two to the two of them.
"Whom am I?"
Gu Ren understood, and dared to love him, Gu Changhe really thought that the deputy mayor Xia Qing had a leg with him.
"Uncle, I just have something to ask about. ā
Gu Ren pointed to the large wasteland at the intersection in front of him that stretched to the old house at the foot of Zoumaliang Mountain, and said that he wanted to contract for planting, and asked if he could contract.
Gu Changhe frowned, this question is more troublesome.
"Ah Ren, although the area to the dam beam is now a alkali beach and wasteland, it used to be a vegetable field, and every household in the village has a small piece. If you want to contract, you have to consult with each family. That's good, Uncle is not busy and will help you ask, you should be able to contract. The state now has policies to vigorously support rural land contracting. ā
"Then it's hard for Uncle Chief. ā
"Changhe, this vegetable plot used to be in the team, and it was later divided into ten years for each family, and now it's due!"
Gu Guoan seemed to remember something.
"Huh...... It seems that there is such a thing. ā
Gu Changhe squinted, he had been the branch secretary for a few years, and he didn't know much about the previous situation in the village. If it's really like what Gu Guoan said, it will be easy to do.
"Ah Ren, you are busy first, Uncle will come back in the afternoon to show you the file. If the land is all brigades, no problem. You can contract whenever you want!"
"Good. I'll come over in the evening. ā
As soon as Gu Changhe and Gu Guoan left, Wang Lanhua and a fat middle-aged woman with a bloated figure came down from the mountain road next to them with a hoe. Wang Lanhua is the one who was saved by him when she just returned to her hometown a few days ago for heat stroke, and her mother Wang Binglian is cousin.
The one next door to Wang Lanhua's house is Wang Xiumei, who is a matchmaker, and she is also a well-known bag to inquire about who in the village has a Chen sesame rotten grain, ask her, you know. I like to talk nonsense the most. However, many people in the village respected her when they saw her. Who doesn't have a son and a big girl, and matchmakers are indispensable for men and women to marry.
"Aunt Hua, Aunt matchmaker, you have gone to hoe. ā
Gu Ren greeted.
"Well, I just came back, and I changed jobs with Xiumei (meaning to work for each other). The fields were full of bitter herbs and grass, and they were exhausted. Where are you going? ā
Wang Lanhua said kindly, Gu Ren is like a child in her family, she is not unfamiliar.
"I went to the old house and built a shed to raise scorpions. ā
Gu Ren smiled.
"Ah Ren, scorpions are not easy to raise, and whoever raised scorpions in Zhangshan Village lost tens of thousands. I heard that you have earned tens of thousands of dollars by selling vegetables, so you can simply come to a greenhouse like a city person. ā
Next to Wang Xiumei built yƬ.
"I'll just try, and if it doesn't work, I'll build a greenhouse. ā
Several people were talking, and at the end of the line of sight, dust was flying.
A black off-road sedan drove in along a dirt road. Gu Ren turned his head to look.
"BMW X6 ......"
There was envy and excitement in his eyes. When he has money, he also wants to buy a BMW off-road as soon as possible.
At the same time, he was a little puzzled, there was no one in this village who could drive a BMW X6. Government officials would not have made such an expensive off-road vehicle.
"This car is so high-end, not like our village, looking for someone?"
Wang Lanhua and Wang Xiumei also looked at the approaching car.
Gu Ren was puzzled, the BMW stopped beside Gu Ren, and a woman stuck out her head to look at him.
"Hey, little handsome guy, this is Gujia Village?"
This woman is very beautiful, she belongs to the kind of eyes that can hook people, and the kind that men can't remove when they look at it.
"This woman is as beautiful as a star on TV. ā
Wang Xiumei muttered.
"Hmm. This is Gujia Village. ā
Gu Ren smiled slightly.
"Do you know where Gu Ren's family lives in your village? I'm his girlfriend in the city. ā
The beauty smiled gracefully, very beautiful.
