Wu Mingkai's father is the stationmaster of the agricultural machinery station, and his mother is a doctor in the town hospital. In the past, Wu Mingkai ate and slept at Liu's house, and Zhang Guizhi and Liu Jiahong treated him as a nephew.

Although Wu Mingkai is with Liu Rui every day, he is not good at reading, but he likes to play with machinery and other things, and finally went to the city to study the mechanical major of the agricultural school. After graduating this summer, he returned to work at the town's agricultural machinery station, which can be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business.

Everyone is an acquaintance, and there is not much courtesy, after a pleasant greeting, what should I do. Wu Mingkai didn't regard himself as an outsider, and reached out to pick a few grapes on the grape trellis, only to find that they were still very sour.

Looking at Wu Mingkai's grinning appearance, Tongtong, who was holding Xiao Hei, was amused and giggled, and said, "Brother Mingkai, I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you as greedy as Brother Zhou Yi's fat man?" ”

Zhou Yi also often came to Shangliang Village to play during the summer vacation in the past two years, and after coming and going, everyone became familiar with each other and became good friends.

"How can I compare with Fat Zhou?" As soon as he heard Tongtong mention this stubble, Wu Mingkai's face turned red and said, "I'm helping you see if the grapes are ripe." ”

"Hee-hee!" The little girl didn't believe Wu Mingkai's words, and her face was full of smiles.

While several young people were laughing and playing, Zhang Guizhi had already prepared lunch and set it up on the marble table.

Because Wu Mingkai is also an acquaintance, the Liu family did not deliberately prepare a too formal banquet, and a few pots full of home-cooked food were fragrant under the osmanthus tree.

The crucian carp is caught by Liu Zhi from his own mountain pond in the morning, and after the crucian carp with a width of three fingers is fried to a slight yellow, it is then boiled in boiling water, and the soup is milky white and fragrant. A little green onion and coriander are sprinkled on it, which is clear and white, and the color is bright, which can stimulate the appetite.

The materials of bitter gourd baked eggs are also home-produced, no chemical fertilizers, pesticides, no feed for chickens, pure natural green food, bitter gourd cui, egg yolk, look at the mood is better.

A plate of sour and spicy cucumbers is crispy and refreshing, which can make people appetite the most in such a hot weather.

After lunch, he rested for a while under the osmanthus tree, and waited until four o'clock, when the sun was blocked by the mountains in the west, Wu Mingkai started the tractor and started working.

The roar of the machine broke the silence of the mountain village, many people looked up at the bottom of the mountain, and there were many discussions, and some housewives and idlers even shook their fans and came to the courtyard of Liu's house.

"Jiahong, which one did you get here?" Wang Huaqiang and Liu Jiahong have been friends for decades, and as soon as they entered the Liu family's compound, he asked.

"It's not my eldest son yet, he said that he wanted to plant cherry tomatoes, so let him go." Liu Jiahong smiled bitterly and pointed to Liu Rui, who was standing on the other side of the vegetable garden.

In fact, Liu Jiahong didn't agree with Liu Rui's toss in his heart, but Liu Rui found enough reasons and insisted so much, Liu Jiahong had no choice but to let him go.

"Look at this movement, it's not too small, the cost won't be too small, right? Be careful, old man! Wang Huaqiang, the head of the Liu family, knows very well that the last time Liu Jiahong was hospitalized, he lent 5,000 yuan, which solved a big problem.

"It's like this now, do you think you can stop?" Liu Jiahong pointed to the villagers who had begun to gather at the edge of the vegetable garden and smiled bitterly at Wang Huaqiang.

Seeing that the idle villagers around the Liu family's compound are gathering more and more, Wang Huaqiang is also very clear in his heart that now Liu Rui is already difficult to ride a tiger.

In the countryside, if you work and live step by step every day, few people will talk about you, but if you do something different, the criticism that will follow will be endless.

It's okay that you did it, others won't say anything, at most you will slander in your heart; But if you mess up, or give up halfway, I'm afraid people will be used as a talking point and laugh for years.

This phenomenon is not only in the countryside, even in the cities, and the mentality of Chinese people who like to see other people's bad luck has not weakened by half a point since ancient times.

A few years ago, Wang Jun from the same village was also ambitious after failing the college entrance examination, saying that he wanted to start a business in the village and grow mushrooms, which caused a lot of sensation at that time. He encouraged his parents, took out all the family's savings, and borrowed a large amount of money from relatives and friends to set up a mushroom farm, which was prosperous for a while.

It's just that because of the limitations of technology, capital, sales, and management, his mushroom farm ended dismally, not only did the family lose a lot of money, but it has not yet eased up. Wang Jun himself also completely became the laughing stock of several nearby villages, and he couldn't stay in the village, so he had to go to Guangdong to work. I don't dare to go home during the New Year's holidays, and I am still in my twenties, and I can't even say that I have a daughter-in-law, because when the girls hear that it is him, they don't want to.

Wang Jun's tragic experience frightened the people in the surrounding villages, and before each venture, he was afraid of wolves and tigers, and became more and more conservative.

Hearing what the old man said, Liu Jiahong suddenly remembered Wang Jun's previous experience, on a hot day, his cold sweat flowed down his back.

Liu Jiahong can't imagine that if his son fails to plant, the loss of money is not much, but that reputation is stinky, how can he mix it in the village?

However, it has come to this point, is it possible to give up halfway?

In that case, the son will be left with an indecisive image, and it will definitely be difficult to talk and do things in the village in the future.

Liu Jiahong can only pray in his heart now that his son's planting business can be successfully successful, and the Liu family can turn over!

When Wu Mingkai's tractor left Shangliang Village with black smoke, the news that the Liu family was preparing to plant a winter vegetable crop called 'cherry tomatoes' spread through the village. This news was like a boulder thrown into Xiaojing Lake, causing ripples in Shangliang Village, a small mountain village that was unusually calm.

In the past ten years, because of the barrier of the Tongjiang River, Shangliang Village and even the entire Qingyun Town have fallen into an embarrassing situation of self-pity, and the villagers here have gradually separated from the mainstream society and become a little outdated. The great changes in the outside world have only made them aware of some scaly claws through some sporadic channels, which only aggravates the fear of the villagers, and the ostrich psychology is even more serious.

The outside world has entered the 21st century, but Shangliang Village is still stuck in many years ago, backward, ignorant and conservative. When something is new, the first reaction of the mountain people here is ignorance, rejection and fear.

Maybe Shangliang Village has been quiet for too long, and this little thing has made the whole village a lot more lively.

Liu Rui's actions can be described as earth-shattering in the eyes of the villagers, and the villagers' reactions to this are different, some see jokes, some ridicule, and some make fools, and all kinds of performances, to name a few. The only thing that is not is to agree, it seems that everyone is looking forward to Liu Rui's failure, so that there will be more fresh topics for his usual conversation.

Many villagers who are good friends with the Liu family have found Liu Jiahong, wanting to persuade Liu Jiahong to let Liu Rui give up such a naïve idea and avoid losses.

In the words of a villager, if they can get rich by simply planting new varieties of crops, then they planted so many things under the guidance of the town government axe before, why did they grow poorer and poorer, and in the end they lost their courage?

In the past two days, the Liu family has been full of guests, and everyone has taken turns to find Liu Rui to do ideological work, hoping that Liu Rui'an will be able to farm the fields, plant fruit trees, and raise fish, and don't have any other intentions to plant these strange crop varieties.

…………

For the first time, Liu Rui felt that the simple villagers were so paranoid on some issues. Maybe it's the past failures that make the villagers no longer dare to try more new things, or maybe it's the damn river that prevents the villagers from learning from the outside.

Never like in the past few days, Liu Rui felt that the air was full of doubt, and everyone's eyes were different from before.

Doubt, ridicule, pity, contempt, all kinds of negative emotions were entangled together, and Liu Rui was almost out of breath.

Although their parents have not spoken out against it now, the two of them, who are a little soft-eared, have become more and more unstable and shaky under the repeated bombardment of relatives and friends.

Sometimes, Liu Rui really wants to tell his parents the secret of his Shennong space, so that they know that no matter what he grows, he will make a sure profit. However, thinking about his parents' somewhat soft surname, Liu Rui still changed his mind at the last moment.

However, Liu Rui is such a person, the greater the suspicion from the outside world, the more unconvinced he is in his heart, his stubborn surname is not like Liu Jiahong and his wife at all, but very similar to his uncle Zhang Zhenguang.

In the face of doubts, Liu Rui took his mother and younger siblings and began to level the land in the vegetable garden, build vegetable beds and seedbeds, and make various preparations for sowing.

Because it had been ploughed with a tractor, it was not difficult to dry, and even the two little ones had made a good shovel, and it only took two days to finish the vegetable garden.

This is also the last two days of their summer vacation to help work at home, because tomorrow is August 30, the school will start accepting registration, and they will get the county No. 1 middle school to register for school tomorrow morning. Don't look at the two little ones who can't do too much heavy work, but they can still help a lot at home, at least the atmosphere at home will be a little more lively. When they go back to school, there will be only three people left in the house, and it will become a little deserted.

Looking at the neat vegetable beds in the vegetable garden with farmhouse fertilizer, Liu Rui felt a hint of realization in his heart, maybe at the beginning, there will always be all kinds of difficulties, but as long as you identify the direction and persevere, you will always see the results.

"Scared?" Just as Liu Rui was pondering in the vegetable garden, a voice sounded behind him.
