"Da Hong, Da Hong, don't sleep, get up, today your little brother is going home, you go and watch the vineyard!" Lying on a bamboo chair with a book on his face, Li Manman was woken up by his mother. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Raising his hand, the book on his face slid to the ground, opened his eyes in a daze, and looked at his mother in confusion: "What are you doing?" Don't you say it's off today? ”

"Get up! Are you sleeping stupid? What do you want to rest? The family is busy to death this season, when have you ever rested? Lin Xiujuan angrily grabbed her daughter's arm and pulled her up from the recliner.

Li Manman looked at the small courtyard in front of him, the osmanthus tree was exuding a rich fragrance, and several bowls of pomegranates on the pomegranate tree above his head were grinning, revealing the crystal like jade pomegranate seeds, and the moon flowers on the wall were in full swing.

"It turned out to be a dream!" Li Manman stood up according to the strength of his mother, "You let me go to the vineyard?" Little brother is not there? ”

"What a stupid sleep! Your little brother has gone home, go quickly, a man from the vineyard! Lin Xiujuan drove her daughter out.

Li Manman took three steps and two steps to the vineyards, and the summer afternoon breeze carried the moisture of the river to his body, which was cool and pleasant. The air is filled with a faint fruity aroma, looking around, in the neatly planned field, the vegetable area is thriving, the tomatoes are hung with red lanterns, the purple eggplant is in the field next to it, the newly introduced pepper fruit is huge, the tender green cucumbers on the adjacent cucumber shelf hang down, and the top is still with yellow flowers, the bean shelf is a squeezed bean squeeze, the winter melon pumpkin in the distance is lying in the middle of the green melon leaves, and there is a large piece of various cabbage, A little further afield, the boutique park is planted with varieties introduced from other places: cauliflower, Chinese yam, okra, purple cabbage, each of which is not much, and it is a boutique route, which is specially supplied to canteens and hotels. As for ordinary vegetables, vegetable vendors come to wholesale every morning, and a piece of food is full of people.

Fruit tree area, the peach forest has rested, the pear tree is hanging fruit, it is about to reach the picking period, now the most lively is the grape picking area, all are the introduction of new varieties of Jufeng, the grains have children play with glass beads big, purple and bright, full and bright, the taste is sweet with a slight acidity, rich in juice. There is also an apple tree area, but it has only been planted for a short time, and it is not yet the fruit-bearing period, so it should be fine next year.

The fish pond near the dam is now full of green trees, and the cherry blossoms in the spring can attract people to see the flowers, and the lotus leaves on the water surface are in full bloom or budding, and more are the proud lotus canopies with their heads held high, and the fish in the water under the lotus leaves swim around.

At the beginning, the place where the temporary shack was built, it was already a garden-style hotel, the whole was a big courtyard, there were pavilions and pavilions built in it, which could meet the different needs of guests of all classes, the first into the left and right wings, it was a self-service stove, there were firewood pots, there were liquefied gas, guests came to fish or pick, and wanted to do it yourself, you can do it here, and the main house is a place to eat; Between the second and the first is a large courtyard, a passage in the middle, two ginkgo trees are planted on the right, a small flower bed with different flowers according to the season, and a mini lotus pond on the left, planted with water lilies and a group of goldfish. The wings and main rooms were made into private rooms; Between the third and the second, there is a rockery, there is a pavilion on the mountain, which can accommodate four people, around the rockery is a wisteria corridor, here is planted a peony, the third is only open to people with higher status, it is a membership system.

Li Manman's home is a two-story building with a yard near the fish pond, next to the little aunt's house, but because Zhou Yinghua is unwilling to leave the ancestral house, he has not moved over, only the little cousin and little uncle occasionally come to live.

Three years have passed, thirty acres of contracted land, to Li Manman's family and the little uncle's family brought a lot of income, the first year can be described as a blue thread, Li Tianxue and Zhou Yu's groom uncle, division of labor and cooperation, Li Tianxue is responsible for land engineering, Zhou Yuxin is responsible for running sales, day by day wind and sun, hard work, Li Tianxue lost more than 20 pounds, Lin Xiujuan also reluctantly transferred her business in the supply and marketing cooperatives to the eldest uncle and fourth uncle's family, to help Li Tianxue, the little uncle is responsible for running sales, doing promotion, it is really a broken leg, wear out the mouth, Drinking hurt his stomach, in order to make a reputation, the whole family mobilized, regardless of the old and the young, to offer advice. At this time, TV was not very popular, and not every family in the city had one, so when Li Manman proposed to advertise on the TV station, it was quickly rejected. Later, it was decided to put up red banners and advertise in the two big vegetable markets in the county seat, and also made some red lanterns with advertising slogans and hung them in several relatively high-end residential areas, and Huaidong City also concocted the same method. Uncle Xiao and Li Tianxue also used their connections to invite friends and classmates to bring their families to pick strawberries and vegetables when they were ripe, and they gradually became famous. Now even people in Huaidong City know about the fun and delicious place of Phoenix Farmhouse.

Walking to the grape picking area, a burst of laughter came from the dense vines, and there were already a few people waiting in the simple weighing area with baskets.

"Little boss, come on, weigh the grapes in this basket and pack them in a box!" A middle-aged woman in a floral skirt greeted Li Manman loudly when she saw Li Manman.

"Hey, it's coming!" Li Manman walked a few steps and walked to the electronic scale, "Auntie, you can help your grapes put on the scale!" Then he said to the others, "Stand in line and think about your requirements!" ”

"Well, even the basket is thirteen catties and eight taels, and the net weight of the basket is thirteen catties and three taels, so it's thirteen catties!" Li Manman looked at the weighing scale and reported, "Auntie, how many boxes do you want, big box or small box?" ”

"Give me a small box, divide it into three parts, one for my own family, one for my mother-in-law, and one for my mother's family!" Said the woman in the floral dress.

"Sister Liu, you are so fair! The mother-in-law and the mother-in-law have done a good job! A chubby middle-aged woman in the back quipped.

"Hey, you still don't know about my family, my sister-in-law, she can't eat at all, if she knows that I came to pick grapes today and didn't send them to her family, I won't have a good life tonight!" The floral dress complained.

"Also, your sister-in-law is really choking! Don't have a target yet? The fat woman seemed to be familiar with the floral dress family, pouted and asked.

"I seemed to have talked about one a while ago, but yesterday I listened to that breath and it seemed to blow again! You say, she's not young, she's twenty-three or four, and she's not very good-looking, and her family conditions aren't so good, so why are she so picky! "The floral dress seems to have an opinion on her sister-in-law, and she can't stop talking about it.

"I said, Xiao Liu, your in-laws are here, don't worry about that, it's thankless!" A woman in her forties and fifties with short ear-length hair said.

"No, your sister-in-law, her vision is so high, and she is a second tiger, it's better for you to be a sister-in-law and worry less!" Behind the chubby woman, a woman in her thirties in a white shirt continued.

While weighing grapes for these people, Li Manman guessed in his heart that these people were probably from a unit, or they would not be so familiar, while listening to the gossip.

In this way, time flies quickly, as if in the blink of an eye, the sound of people in the vineyard is gradually decreasing, and the number of people queuing in the weighing area is also much less, and the big cousin of the cashier next door lowers his head and sorts out the drawer's drawer, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

When the sunset reflected the red western sky, Li Manman's work was over, the eldest cousin put the money in his bag, carried it on his back, moved the table to Li Manman's place, helped Li Manman tidy up the simple house, locked the door, and the brother and sister got off work happily.

At the beginning of the farmhouse, Li Manman once wanted to mention to his father that it was best not to use nepotism, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't say it, because Li Manman knew that his father was a very emotional person.

However, three years have passed, although most of the relatives of the Zhou family and the Li family who work in the fields and manage various areas are relatives, but these relatives are not bad, and few of them are unreasonable because of their relationship. Of course, this has also been carefully screened, for example, Li Manman's grandmother's family only came to the third uncle, father and son, the fourth uncle and the eldest uncle took over Lin Xiujuan's stall in the supply and marketing cooperative, the second uncle was engaged in greenhouse vegetables at home, and the younger uncle graduated from high school, and Li Tianxue got him a job as a substitute teacher. The eldest aunt's family only came to the third cousin, and he was educated, so he followed the younger uncle as an assistant. The second aunt's cousins are all relatively honest, only the eldest cousin and the fourth cousin are still a bit economically minded, one manages the fruit tree area, and the other manages the fish pond area. The others work in the vegetable section. As for the more important hotel, it is managed by the son-in-law of the little uncle, that is, Li Manman's cousin-in-law, who is a veteran and has a lot of skill.
