Chapter 41 Elder Zhang has arrived
The morning sun is always so gentle, especially in early summer. The gentle sunlight became more and more dazzling, and soon the morning dew on the leaves evaporated.
The people in the village always want to do more farm work while the sun is still hot. Watering the garden, pulling weeds, or doing some crop work in the field.
When I went back to the house again, my trouser legs were always wet. The weeds on the roadside, the big trees, and the crops in the fields were full of silver beads sprinkled by Miss Lu, shining in the early morning sun.
The fresh morning breeze brings the scent of earth and, of course, the smell of animal manure. However, the farmer was used to smelling this smell, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
In the countryside, who doesn't have some chickens, ducks, dogs, or anything at home? Push back more than ten years, and every household has a large livestock. Cows, donkeys, mules, and a few big fat pigs in the pigsty, all of which are manure machines.
When the weather is hot in the summer, the manure in the barn and pigsty is scorched by the scorching sun, and the smell comes out, which makes people want to hide their noses and run away.
Of course, that's clean city people. If it was an old peasant, he would definitely have to go over and have a look. Look at the owner's livestock or pigs.
If you are praised by others, "Your pigs grow so fast?", the people who are praised can be happy for several days! When you meet Brother An, you can't wait to pull people over every day to see his or her pigs or big animals.
Li Wei has lived in the city since he was born, and he has only been to the real countryside a handful of times in his life. He had an impression that it was only twice, and the countryside he went to no longer had the countryside he remembered.
At that time, he had just entered high school and had played twice at a high school table in the suburbs. Although the village is still called a village in the administrative division, in fact, the whole village has long since moved into a self-built two- or three-story villa.
To tell the truth, although he is from the countryside, although the work is too hard, the living conditions are much better than that of an authentic city person!
Li Wei clearly remembered that the classmate named Lu Donglai had calculated an account for him. There are a total of six vegetable greenhouses in their homes that cover an acre of land, and two small sheds on half an acre of land.
The cucumbers grown in the greenhouses in the city, according to the wholesale price at that time, were about two more than one pound on average. Only six greenhouses can harvest five or six hundred catties a day at most.
However, this kind of good life is only a few days, and most of the time, it can barely have one or two hundred catties. Six greenhouses, that's nearly a thousand catties!
In this way, the gross income in one day is 1,000 yuan! A month is 30,000 yuan! The cucumber harvest period is at least two months, that is, 60,000 yuan!
Two small sheds are dedicated to seedlings, and cucumber seedlings are ready to be transplanted at all times. This ensures that once the cucumber seedlings in the greenhouse fall off the shelves (that is, when the seedlings start to die, do not bear melons or are significantly reduced, these cucumber seedlings are pulled out), new seedlings can be transplanted.
After a year's crop rotation, their family has an income of at least 300,000 or 400,000 yuan! Even if the cost is calculated, they can produce more than 10 or 200,000 yuan.
You must know that at that time, in Li Wei's county, the average salary was only less than 2,000 yuan!
My parents are tired and tired of working for a month, and if they add a piece, they will only earn more than the cucumbers they sell for three or four days! If people encounter a cucumber price increase during the New Year's holidays, they may sell more cucumbers in one or two days than Li Wei's parents' wages in one month combined!
However, farm work in the countryside is really tiring! The most obvious thing is that Lu Donglai came to his house, and his parents are two or three years younger than Li Wei's parents, but because of their perennial labor, they look more than ten years older than Li Wei's parents!
Dark skin, full of black hair with a few silver strands. You don't even need to look closely, you can find N more than one gray hair at a glance!
Whenever I saw them, they were covered in dust and dirty.
Even if they are richer than most city people, their faces are still so restrained, especially when they are in front of "city people".
The village Li Wei went to was completely different from the same village in the traditional sense, and in many ways it was almost the same as the city.
Buildings, sewers, street trees, street lamps, all kinds of shops, flowery women, cars and buses, village squares, activity centers, and small parks.
In addition to the inferiority complex that they can't get rid of in their bones, it can be said that they are much better off than the people in the city! The grain and vegetables are all grown by themselves, and there are absolutely no high-end goods that cost pesticides!
This is something that ordinary city people can't compare with, even if you get up early, the vegetables you buy are no longer fresh to the people in the village!
Zhang Lao was sent by helicopter last night, and without even saying a word of greeting after getting off the plane, he went directly to the village committee with brisk steps to check Li Mingming's research report.
And then, there was no then!
"I'm sorry, you're retired and don't have access to this material right now!"
As soon as Comrade Li said a word, he made Mr. Zhang's angry face blush and his neck thick. Do you think I'm going to retire? Did I know that I was retired?
No matter what this old man says, Li Mingzhi has identified one thing, and you have no right to see this information. In other words, this thing is top secret, and if you want to see it, sorry, you don't have enough permissions!
The angry old Zhang was pulled to his house by the old man Li Mingguang, and half a catty of corn and sorghum wine burned by the villagers immediately forgot all the unhappiness, and began to call the old Li village chief a brother and brother, boasting about his glorious deeds.
Probably because he has often talked about these topics in recent years, the old man talked about his past, which was well organized, like a hanging river, and talked endlessly.
"What's wrong with him? If you don't agree, you don't agree! You're rich, you're great, you're still looking for connections to put pressure on me, who am I? Can I get used to his problem?"
"Hiss-good wine!"
"I made a phone call, and within an hour, the bastard packed his bags and went to buy a plane ticket to go home!"
"Why?"
Li Wei, who was eating at the same table, asked knowingly, is it good to do what he wants, this trick Li Wei has already practiced when he was three years old!
Every time this trick has been used, there are always a bunch of snacks, such as biscuits, apples, and pears, at least they have to be praised by people.
Later, when he grew up, he learned that in fact, this skill was practiced to the top, and that was a star profession - cross talk actor!
There are generally two people who talk about cross talk, and one is responsible for talking more to make the audience laugh, which is called teasing. And the other one has almost no sense of existence, a cross talk, except for um, ah, I'll you, that's called praise!
"Why?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Lao glanced at Li Wei, a young man who was quite good at things, with a smile on his mind, thinking that he was worthy of being the spokesperson of that village and the contemporary side-by-side king!
Look at people, you can talk a lot! Why do people make you feel so comfortable when they open their mouths? Compared to me, my mayor's son and the daughter of an internationally renowned historian are far behind.
Seeing that Li Wei sandwiched a large piece of fast fish, the old man frowned cutely, and then unceremoniously stretched out the fast seed and sandwiched a large piece of it into his bowl.
Looking at the provocative general smile, tilting his head to look at his Zhang Lao, Li Wei directly twisted his head. In other words, a philosopher once said that when others scold you, learning to shrink the head of the turtle is actually a very good response.
didn't respond as expected, Zhang Lao was like a punch in the air, and he was directly angry!
"Oops!
I had already finished eating, and Doudou, who was under the table and was struggling with Xiao Hei who was picking up leftovers and bones to eat, saw Grandpa Zhang's cry in pain, and immediately felt the same way.
The last time I ate fish, after being stuck in my throat by a fish bone, it hurt so much that Doudou couldn't help crying. However, after drinking a little more vinegar brought by my grandmother, it was immediately fine!
"Whoosh-"
Like a gust of wind, Doudou's calves flew fast and quickly ran out of the restaurant. Aren't they all like this, children? When you're full, you naturally run out to play.
Something that stunned everyone happened. When Li Wei was still wondering, this kid came in with a vinegar bottle.
"Grandpa Zhang, drink vinegar quickly, drink vinegar quickly! It's sour, and your throat won't hurt after a while! Doudou was like this last time, but it works!"
Suddenly, a sour smell permeated, and after a while, it filled the entire house.
