Chapter 17: Early Morning in a Mountain Village
It's late to get home.
Wash up and go to bed.
The next day, just after dawn, there was a noise in the living room kitchen.
Ye Chen's father got up and cooked. Ye Chen also woke up early, he knew that his father's habits, or habits that he couldn't say, were the reason for work.
Every morning, almost in the dark, my dad gets up, cooks, and goes to the warehouse. Drinks are especially popular in the summer, and they have to be delivered to many places. There is more than one food wholesale department in Qingshan Town, and the competition is fierce, all of which are small profits but quick turnover. If you want to have hundreds of thousands of profits a year, it is impossible to do without sweat and hard work.
Ye Chen doesn't have too big ambitions, and he has the funds on hand, so he doesn't want to live so hard like his father.
"Dad, how is the wholesale department looking for someone. Ye Chen got up and came to the kitchen to help.
"After Ye Xiao gets married, the wholesale department will be run by your little uncle, and your mother and I will move to the city to live, so as to take care of the affairs of the transportation company. Women's bodies are not as good as men's, and because of the wholesale department over the years, they have gotten up early and been greedy for darkness, and your mother has long been irrelevant. ”
"It's fine. There is no shortage of money in the family now, otherwise, the transportation company will not do it, you and your mother have nothing to do to drink tea and dance in the square. Ye Chen said with a smile.
"I've discussed with your third uncle, and the transportation company is actually buying a few big cars for rent. If you have a stable business, ask the driver to come and drive, just sit and wait for the money to be collected. Dad Ye looked forward to the future and said with a smile.
"How much money do you have left, if it's not enough, I have it here. ”
"Enough. My mom and I all the money we make in the bank, thinking about marrying you a daughter-in-law. But for now, you should have enough money to marry a daughter-in-law. There are more than a million ......" Dad Ye cut the vegetables, and then said: "Jiyang is a good girl, you cherish it for me." ”
"Yes. ”
After making the meal, Ye Chen's mother and Zhao Jiyang came out of the house almost at the same time.
Breakfast was very simple, stir-fried two vegetarian dishes, a soup dish, and the taro roast chicken that I didn't finish last night. Ye Chen's father ate quickly and had to rush out to deliver the goods.
"Go to your second father's house for dinner at noon, and at the night banquet, there are two red envelopes here, which are given separately. Your dad and I gave 1900 red envelopes, your red envelopes, ask Ye Xing how much they give. ”
"Good. ”
"One thousand nine is what we discussed. Ye Xiao is the same generation as you, you and Ye Xing also discussed, it is not good to give more or less. I went out to open a shop and took a break for lunch. Ye Chen's mother said and took out a stack of cash, about a few thousand yuan, and then went out.
Only Ye Chen and Zhao Jiyang were left in the family.
"Did I get up late today?" Zhao Jiyang asked after eating, helping to clean up the kitchen.
"I usually sleep until eight or nine o'clock before I get up, but it's not even seven o'clock now......" Ye Chen looked at the watch in his hand and smiled: "Because of the business of the wholesale department, my parents get up early." But you, do you want to get some sleep again?"
Zhao Jiyang yawned and shook his head: "No." Take me to see your tea mountains and contracted land. ”
"Okay. Ye Chen sealed the red envelope first, 1,900 yuan. There were three or four thousand yuan left, which was packed into Zhao Jiyang's bag, and then went out.
At night, Mengshan is pitch black, and it looks a little infiltrating.
During the day, you can get a glimpse of the mountains. The road in front of the mountain is a two-way cement road, and through the hump-like valley, you can see the first village on the left of Qingshan Town, rolling hills, no particularly steep mountains. The hills are carved out and tea leaves are planted, neatly arranged, undulating, and particularly spectacular.
In the early morning, there is a hazy mist on the hillside, and the cool air is refreshing.
"I want to smell the tea. Zhao Jiyang opened the window, stuck his head out, and made a hugging gesture.
"The head retracted. Ye Chen patted her: "Pay attention to safety." ”
"Your car is not driving fast. Zhao Jiyang muttered and said.
"It's not good if it's not fast. ”
"Older people. Zhao Jiyang clutched the seat belt sullenly, looked bored, and shook his head.
This is Lotus Village, with about three or four hundred acres of tea planted, and it is the village with the most tea cultivation in Qingshan Town. Lotus Village is a rich village, with the construction of a new countryside and the small houses of every household, which is very magnificent.
Through Lotus Village, the next village is called Asan Village, which also grows tea, but mainly vine peppers. Asan Village has not been built into a new village, and families are scattered......
After Asan Village, the mountains that rise from the ground really have the appearance of mountains.
"The air in the mountains is so nice. The air is fresh ......" Zhao Jiyang made a right-hand look, looked at some mountains rarely, and the mobile phone rang: "Zhang Xi's phone." ”
"Hey, what's the matter?"
"Where?"
Zhao Jiyang turned on the hands-free, and Zhang Xi's voice was very clear.
"Mengshan, Ye Chen's house. ”
"What about meeting my future parents-in-law? ”
"What's going on. ”
"What about your future parents-in-law. ”
Zhao Jiyang glanced at Ye Chen: "Very good, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I saw that you posted a circle of friends, call and ask. And just like that, I went to work. ”
"Oh. Zhao Jiyang hung up the phone.
At the end of the two-way road, there is a rural cement road that only allows one car to pass, and then a village called Hulu Village is Qingshui Village.
Hulu Village, a large village, grows gastrodia.
Gastrodia is cultivated in many villages in Qingshan Town, including Qingshui Village, but the scale is not large.
When I returned to the village, it was still early and I didn't meet any acquaintances.
"Let's go see the tea mountain first?" Ye Chen said.
"Good. ”
Shimizu Village is located between mountain troughs, with high mountains on both sides, and relatively flat land in the middle, with a small stream flowing through the middle. Qingshuigou is also called Qingshui River, and in the village, the houses are basically on both sides of the Qingshui River. The machine plow road follows the river bank all the way to the north of the trough, here in the tea mountain.
The tea mountain is very large, with a slope of forty or fifty, rows of tea trees, and the total area of the tea garden is 51 acres, almost 34,000 square meters.
"This piece of tea mountain is yours?" Zhao Jiyang got out of the car, stepped on the grass with high heels, and looked up at the tea mountain.
"Hmm. Ye Chen closed the car door and pointed to the top of the mountain: "This mountain is more than 100 acres, the opposite side of the mountain has not been developed, go up and take a look, the opposite Qingshui ditch, both sides of the ravine have been contracted, there are more than 1,000 acres." ”
Zhao Jiyang opened his mouth, just one tea mountain was already very large, and there were more than a thousand acres of mountain land behind it.
Ye Chen took Zhao Jiyang's hand and pointed to the road up the mountain in the middle of the tea garden.
In the middle of July, the weather was good today, and the sun was already shining brightly on the mountain. However, in terms of firepower, it is much weaker than in the city.
It was still early, and the dew in the air had not yet completely dispersed, and crystal clear dew drops could be seen everywhere on the tips of grass blades on the ground.
"There was dew and my shoes were wet. Only then did he walk to the bottom of the tea mountain, Zhao Jiyang looked up at the steep mountain road and retreated.
"Who told you to wear high heels. Ye Chen squatted down: "I'll carry you." ”
"It's not about your sister's wedding, dress formally. Zhao Jiyang's face turned red, and he looked at Ye Chen's solid back and broad shoulders: "Are you moving me on your back?"
"Come up. ”
Zhao Jiyang leaned on Ye Chen's back and hugged his neck.
"It's so heavy. Ye Chen felt the softness behind him, his heart fluttered, and Xiao Xiaochen suddenly reacted......
"What's the matter, I'm less than a hundred pounds. Zhao Jiyang tilted his head, his hair was rubbing against Ye Chen's ears, and he said in a glutinous voice.
The morning is quiet in the mountains, where there are almost no human voices, only the distant sound of chickens and dogs barking and motorcycles. Ye Chen carried the person who made him fascinated, feeling the softness behind him and the delicate gentleness between the touches, and his mouth was dry for a while.
Zhao Jiyang seemed to feel something, and he didn't dare to move on Ye Chen's back, and even his breathing became cautious.
The dew under the mountain is almost disappear when you climb up the mountain. The weeds on the ground and the leaves of the tea tree are cool and dry, and there is no moisture in the air.
When he was about to reach the top of the mountain, Zhao Jiyang moved on Ye Chen's back: "Okay, let me down." ”
Ye Chen felt reluctant: "I'll be at the top of the mountain soon." ”
How could Zhao Jiyang not know Ye Chen's thoughts, his puffing cheeks, and his shy blushing heartbeat.
