Chapter 7: Joy and Sorrow

Wang Hai's third aunt lives diagonally across the door to the north of Wang Yong's house, and his third aunt and his mother Tian Xiuhua are cousins. That is to say, the fathers of the two are brothers.

The two have known each other since childhood, and when they grew up, they got married and lived in the opposite door, so the relationship is naturally not comparable to ordinary relatives. Usually there is a big and small affair, and the two families are like a family.

"I'll go, I'll go, wait for me!"

Wang Liang shouted and ran after his father's figure.

Within an hour, Wang Hai and a tall man walked into the courtyard carrying a bundle of reed curtains one after the other. Wang Liang was followed by a woman in her thirties, as well as two children, a man and a woman.

Two strong laborers put the reed curtain on the edge of the greenhouse, and they didn't care about wiping the sweat off their foreheads, and a man in a coarse cotton coat about 1.75 meters tall pointed to the greenhouse and asked:

"This is a greenhouse that can grow vegetables in winter?"

"I'll see, I'll see!" A teenage boy with a tiger head and a tiger brain jumped out, squeezed past Wang Hai and the sturdy man, and stared at the greenhouse.

"Wang Yong, is this what you made the greenhouse? Isn't that the photo in the boys' newspaper like this? ”

Wang Yong looked at his little friend with excitement in his eyes, and the memory in his dream told him that the guy in front of him who played with a bare ass from a small piece to a big one, after more than ten years, went out to work before he went to high school, and later lost his life at the age of 23 because of an accident at a construction site.

I won't let this happen! Wang Yong secretly made a decision in his heart.

"Hello? What are you staring at me? Silly? Don't know me? ”

Looking at the guy waving his arms in front of his eyes, although his mouth is fierce, but his eyes are full of deep concern. This is his own brother, a brother who is closer than his own brother - noble. Although he was only a year older than himself, although he never called him brother.

Because of this, when he heard the news that Gao Gui was going to school, Wang Yong cried and pestered his parents for a long time before they pulled down their faces and begged Principal Liu, who was diagonally opposite the door in the south, that was the teacher Yaozeng, who allowed him to go to school at the age of six and continue to hang behind Gao Gui's buttocks.

"This is a simple greenhouse, can you understand it? Do you know how much it costs to make a greenhouse like the one in a newspaper? Thousands of dollars! It is estimated that none of the families in our village can build it on their own! ”

Wang Yong left behind the messy thoughts in his mind and dealt with nobility wholeheartedly. This guy is a shrewd bear child, and ordinary people can't fool him.

"Yes, people's greenhouses are supported by steel pipes, so it's good if we can get a piece of wood."

The conversation between the two brothers shocked several adults around them, especially the third aunt and the third aunt. They came here to see what it was that would allow people to grow vegetables in the cold and snow of winter. In their hearts, they don't believe it.

But as soon as they saw the real thing, before they could ask for an understanding, the conversation between the two children had already clearly told them that this matter was true, and they could really grow vegetables in winter!

Didn't you hear what the two children said? It's all in the newspapers! Can that still be fake?

In their simple minds, everything in the newspaper must be true, and it really can't be true. This is much more convincing than the words of the brigade secretary in the village, no, a lot.

Newspapers are all run by the public, so how can the public tell lies in the newspapers? After more than ten years, no one has this kind of simple thinking anymore. At that time, even a three-year-old child knew that sometimes, there may not be a truth with a picture!

"Oops! If this thing can really grow vegetables, it will be amazing. If you grow summer vegetables in the winter, how much does it cost to sell for a pound? ”

Gao Yingfeng, the third aunt-in-law who spoke, his eyes widened at this time, and he looked at the greenhouse without blinking, eager to stuff him directly into his eyes.

"Hehe, third aunt, whether this thing can grow vegetables or not, after all, we are all inexperienced. How to get it, I don't have any bottom in my heart! ”

"yes, yes, I read in the newspaper that this thing should be high-tech, right? It took more than ten years for people in Dongshan Province to have today's scale. It is said that the whole county is full of greenhouses, and it is old and large-scale! ”

The words of the two children made several adults feel heavy for a while, yes, this kind of thing without a little experience, in the end, whether it works, until the day when the vegetables really grow, no one dares to guarantee that they will really make a lot of money, and no one in the village has much knowledge these years, and there is a subconscious resistance to unknown things.

After all, it is not the 21st century when you don't even have to pay agricultural taxes and pay subsidies for farming, and there are still 20 years to go before that day!

In this era, the burden of peasants was already heavy, and if it was not done in the end because of the trouble of making money for new things, it would really make a good family ruined.

In an era when a family of four has a monthly living allowance of more than a dozen yuan, it is considered good, and it costs hundreds or even thousands of dollars to build a greenhouse for growing vegetables in winter.

Wang Yong saw the four elders whose faces had become very ugly, and instantly understood what they were thinking. After pondering in my heart, I decided to say something to calm their hearts, otherwise they would live in fear all day long, and sooner or later they would have to do something.

"Actually, it's not difficult, I think it's persimmons (that is, tomatoes, called persimmons in the local vernacular), beans, eggplants or something to bloom and pollinate, these vegetables may have high technical content. We definitely didn't understand it at first, so let's plant less, plant a few trees for experiments, and plant some simple ones for the rest. ”

"Simple?"

The third aunt turned his head to look at Wang Wei and asked differently.

"Well, like leeks. You see, after planting, you hardly have to worry about it, at most it is watering, supplementing some fertilizer or something. Controlling the temperature and humidity is the same as burning a sweet potato kang, what is so rare? ”

"Seems to be the case." The third aunt nodded slowly, although he felt in his heart that it was definitely not as simple as his nephew said, but he couldn't help but nod.

"Not only leeks, but kohlrabi (cabbage, also called cabbage, but locally it is called kohlrabi.) Celery, which has a short growth period and is easy to take care of, can be planted a little to try. ”

"I still don't think it's safe for this, miss, your family can discuss, don't mess around!"

"It's okay, third aunt, you see it doesn't cost much. No, it basically didn't cost anything. It's just that it didn't work out in the end, so it's not a big deal, is it? ”

"Well, it didn't cost money anyway, so it's better to try. By the way, when you really grow the vegetables, you have to send some to the third aunt to try. Oops, the thought of being able to eat fresh food in the middle of winter makes me drool. ”

"Third aunt, when the time comes, I'll send you leeks, will you still wrap me with leek-stuffed dumplings?"

Wang Liang suddenly came out with such a sentence, which caused Wang Yong to give his younger brother a helpless look. This little gluttonous cat, a few days ago, the third aunt's family wrapped some dumplings stuffed with leeks and meat, and brought a bowl to their family, and almost all of them were eaten by this gluttonous cat. I haven't eaten enough of this, and I'm still thinking about it!

However, seeing his younger brother's gluttony of sticking out his tongue and licking his lips, Wang Yong's heart became very uncomfortable again. Since his birth, this younger brother has been suffering with the whole family, and he rarely eats meat except for the Chinese New Year.

Good brother, wait, in two more months, my brother will let you have meat to eat every day, and you must be allowed to eat enough, and you want to vomit when you see meat.

With the help of the third aunt, two thick reed curtains made of reeds were covered with plastic sheets in the greenhouse. There are two ropes tied to each of them underneath, which Wang Wei didn't expect, but he still remembered that when the weather is good during the day, he can go up to the wall and pull up the curtain to let the vegetables in the greenhouse bask in the sun.

The greenhouse was completely built, and the two families didn't listen for a moment, turning out the various vegetable seeds treasured at home and starting to plant and raise seedlings.

Kohlrabi seeds, cucumbers, beans, and pumpkins are all in stock at Wang Yong's house, and the celery seeds were taken from her house by the third aunt, a big bag! It is enough to plant all the surplus of this simple greenhouse.

If there is anything new in the village, it cannot be hidden. No, it didn't take two days for Wang Hai's family to make something that could grow summer vegetables in winter spread throughout the village, and even people from other villages came over to see the freshness.

People from other villages have come here, and people from their own villages must be indispensable. Within a week, almost everyone in the village came to see what it was like to grow vegetables in the winter.

The villagers have different opinions on this matter. Most people think that this thing must be unreliable, how can it be possible to grow vegetables in winter and grow vegetables in summer? Even though there are many knowledgeable people patting their chests and saying that this thing has been available in Dongshan Province for a long time, there are still many people who disdain it.

However, there are also many people who are very interested in this, but the nature of the peasants makes them wary of all strange things from the bottom of their hearts, and most of them are waiting to see if the old Wang's method can succeed. Once successful, will they try it at home?

For this matter, there are only two people who appreciate Wang Hai's courage very much. These two people are Wang Qing and his daughter Wang Hong, who is in junior high school.

Wang Hai's grandfather has three sons and two daughters, the eldest of the three sons is Wang Hai's father, Wang Hai also has a brother, who lives in the east of the village, and the family has opened a workshop for making noodles, and the small life is quite good in the village.

The second is another share, with three sons and a daughter. The third is three sons and two daughters, and Wang Qing is the eldest of the third family, two years younger than Wang Hai. According to the ranking of the family, Wang Qing has to call Wang Hai the fourth brother.

"Fourth brother, this matter is a good thing, once you can get this thing done, then your family will send it! You don't have to worry about money, in this way, you can try this in the yard this year, accumulate some experience, and wait for next year, I will get you some low-interest loans, and then cover a few more, it won't take a few years, I'm afraid you will be the richest man in the township! ”

These are the exact words of Wang Qing, who is the director of the township credit cooperative.

"Fourth uncle, these are all green leafy vegetables you plant, nothing is rare, don't worry, you don't have to listen to the nonsense of the people in the village. As long as the temperature and humidity are well controlled, and the fertilizer keeps up, it is impossible to grow vegetables. By the way, when my dad goes to the county for a meeting, he will ask him to bring you a few thermometers for you, which is much more reliable than the thermometer you put in the soil. ”

This is what Wang Dawei's sister, Wang Qing's eldest queen Hong, said.

Probably because he listened to the words of himself, who was very prestigious in the village and was the only worker in the village who worked in the township, Wang Hai's confidence greatly increased.

Putting aside the gossip of the villagers, he plunged into the greenhouse, squatting in it all day, carefully caring for the land and seeds that were full of hope for the whole family.

Soon, the whole village began to be attracted by other news, and gradually forgot about Wang Hai's greenhouse, which can grow vegetables in winter.

In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed, and the New Year is just around the corner.
