New books are in urgent need of collection and recommendation!
Although Chu Jiaqiang spent five days endlessly in the mountains and rivers map, he did not show any fatigue at all, but was full of energy. With a wide hoe on his shoulder, he walked to the orchard behind the house.
When I passed through the big ditch, I found that the fish here were more concentrated, swimming back and forth. This large ditch is connected to a locally sourced Chujia River, which eventually flows into the Yinyan River at the entrance of the village, so it is not surprising that some fish sneak in here.
Chu Jiaqiang is most impressed by the fact that whenever it rains heavily, the Yinyan River is flooded, and a large number of fish will swim into the Chujia River Andu. At that time, when I went to the Chujia River to catch fish, it was called pleasure. Even in these connected ditches, many fish can still be caught, which also causes the village to be good at catching fish, young and old.
Seeing that there was no one, Chu Jiaqiang put some spiritual water into it, attracting a lot of fish to compete, and the waterfowl waiting for the opportunity in the distance shot over suddenly, instantly picked up a crucian carp three fingers wide, and then quickly flew back to the fruit forest.
Chu Jiaqiang looked over and found that the number of birds here had also increased a lot, and it seemed that he was preparing to settle down in the fruit forest. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't expect his unintentional move to make his orchard biological chain dense. didn't pay any attention to this, Chu Jiaqiang immediately started to do it.
In the past, Chu Jiaqiang was a master of hoeing, although he was shelved for four or five years, his skills were still there. I saw him hold the hoe with both hands facing each other, keeping the hoe parallel to his body. When hoeing, the legs are slightly bent, the body is slightly sideways, and the right is leaning, and the whole posture is elegant and quite gentlemanly. With a light hoe, the turf was neatly shaved and turned, and with a gentle hoe, the grass was stripped of the soil and floated on the surface, which could be dried to become organic fertilizer.
During this period, Chu Jiaqiang only rested once, then sat under the yellow bark tree, folded a yellow bark and ate it. It wasn't until the evening when the sun set that Chu Jiaqiang called it a day. At this time, half of the grass has been cleared, and I believe that it will be done in another afternoon.
It's a bit scary, at least no one in the village can match it. Many old people in the village have better skills than the Chu family, but their physical strength is not as strong as the Chu family, you must know that Chu Jiaqiang only rested for about ten minutes just now. This is the benefit of cultivation, and Chu Jiaqiang can naturally feel it.
Back at the second uncle's house, the second aunt had just finished feeding the pigs. My cousin is listening to mp3 and reading a book at the same time, and she doesn't know if this girl is listening to a song or reading a book, only she knows the truth. The second uncle hasn't come back from work yet, and it's almost time to come back depending on the time.
"Ah Qiang, you don't have a habitual job, are you tired? Let you leave it alone, and when the sky is free in two days, we will help. The second aunt said with a smile.
"It's okay! I've done half of that bit of land, and if I do it for half a day the day after tomorrow, it should be over, so there's no need to be so troublesome. Chu Jiaqiang shook his head and said.
The second aunt was obviously stunned: "Half? So fast! She knew that this kid used to be very good at hoeing, but it seems that he hasn't done it for a long time, right?
"Huh! It was a little rusty at first, but it recovered quickly, and I was able to keep up with the exercise in the past few years, and my strength was okay. Chu Jiaqiang explained. The second aunt listened to it, and then put her doubts down for the time being.
I talked to my cousin for a while, and then I went to take a shower first. The second aunt began to cook, and at night she ate braised pork with tempeh, and then fried a green vegetable, a very simple meal, but Chu Jiaqiang liked it very much. I especially like the stewed pork, which is fat but not greasy, and the color is good and fragrant. Pork is like tofu, you have to come gently when you clamp it, otherwise it will be easy to break, and it will melt in your mouth.
This dish is simple to make, but requires a little longer, much like the recipe of Dongpo meat. The pork is pork belly, with tempeh, star anise and xiaohui, and slowly simmered over low heat.
After the meal, the second aunt was busy cutting paper. Because tomorrow is Chu Jiaxiong's big day, the gift can't just be carried over. In rural areas, many gifts are to be pasted with the word double happiness cut out of red paper, which is auspicious and festive.
"Second uncle, let me tell you something." Chu Jiaqiang said solemnly.
"Huh? Okay, you say. The second uncle was stunned for a moment, and then sounded seriously.
"I'm not going to go out, I'm going to stay in the village in the future." Chu Jiaqiang pondered for a long time and finally said it.
The second uncle's family was all stunned, looking at Chu Jiaqiang in disbelief. Chu Jiawan suddenly rejoiced: "Okay! I'll be able to see my brother often in the future. ”
The second aunt also nodded happily and said, "If you don't want to go out, just stay!" It's not very good outside. ”
The second uncle glared at their mother and daughter, knocked on the table with his hand, pondered for a moment and said, "Don't joke about your future, you have been studying for so many years, isn't it just to create a career outside?" Now that you're on the right path, why give up all of a sudden? Also, what are your plans to stay? ”
"When I came back this time, I was deeply touched. Our Chujiazhai is too poor and backward, if we have the ability to run out, we will always be a down-and-out household. I'm going to come back and generate income for our mountainous areas, and if it succeeds, I'm going to make everyone rich together. Although this idea is still a bit naïve, it has to be done. Chu Jiaqiang said half-truthfully.
The second uncle's face is better-looking, Chu Jiaqiang has learned skills, and he has not forgotten his hometown, drinking water and thinking about the spring, which makes the second uncle very pleased. But as Chu Jiaqiang himself said, the idea is a bit naïve, and it may not be an overnight thing to really come true. At that time, it may not only fail to achieve results, but also delay Chu Jiaqiang's future, which is what the second uncle is most worried about.
"Do you have a specific plan? For example, where to generate income. If it is feasible, I believe everyone will agree with both hands. If the difficulty is too great, or even the possibility is too small, you still go back to work, and when you have achievements, you can still do things for your hometown. "Don't look at the second uncle, he doesn't read much, but he still thinks about the problem very thoroughly.
"I analyzed it carefully, and in fact, we are very suitable for the growth of fruits. Located in the subtropics, with abundant heat, high terrain, sufficient sunshine, and a large temperature difference between day and night, it is easy for the fruit to accumulate sugar, which can improve the quality of the fruit. Chu Jiaqiang first analyzed the situation in his hometown.
Seeing the second uncle's mouth open, he knew what he wanted to say, and then said: "I know what the second uncle thinks, and there is no market." But in fact, sales are not a problem, as long as the quality is good, the sales will naturally come to the door. The most important thing is that we don't use chemical fertilizers and pesticides, try to use farm fertilizers, and keep the fruits pure and natural, which is very popular in the city. ”
Although Chu Jiaqiang seemed to be very reasonable, the second uncle and the others still didn't have much hope for the fruit, and believed that the people in the village also had this idea. In the past, the eighth uncle family in the village had specialized in fruits, and for this reason they also raised bees, and the honey was sold for some money, but the fruits that could hardly be sold ended up rotting in the ground, and no one dared to fight the idea of fruits after that, and they cultivated the fields with peace of mind.
"I know you're not at ease, I'll stay and try for two years, and if it doesn't work, I won't be in the way when I go out again." Chu Jiaqiang's tone became firm.
The second uncle smiled bitterly, hearing this tone, it was almost certain that this kid would not be able to drive away. I still know this nephew very well, and once the matter is decided, the nine cows can't pull it.
"Then let's try it for two years! If you need the help of the second uncle, just keep quiet. The second uncle had no choice but to nod, thinking that this matter had to be discussed with the village elder and uncle.
