Chapter 271: Childlike innocence rises
With Kong Xinggang's intention, this misunderstanding, which seems to be very oolong, should not have happened, is destined to exist like this.
However, even if there was no misunderstanding, Yu Mingyue, who had already had a knot in her previous life, would no longer want to have too many entanglements with He Yang.
When Yu Mingyue got up the next day, her eyes were obviously bloodshot because she didn't sleep well, but she didn't ask a word about the reason for Heyang's visit the night before, and even Kong Xinggang asked her to go to the company to see and then send her back to Caiyun Village.
From June to October every year, it is the time when many kinds of fruits in the orchard usher in a bumper harvest, and it is also the busiest time for several adults in Yu Mingyue's family.
Yu Mingyue's family now has more than 400 acres of orchards, although in addition to Pu Xiaoqiang is still working as a long-term worker, not only to help manage the farm but also to help dry the work in the orchard, and there are also the unfilial children of the old couple living in the orchard of the landlord's grave to manage, but in addition to weeding, fertilizing, budding, pruning, fruit picking and other scattered work several times a year.
So every year, when I can't get busy, I have to hire a lot of villagers to help.
Nowadays, things are soaring, and the wages of hired workers are no longer a matter of a few yuan a few years ago, even if it is an easy job such as hiring people to weed and prune, and it costs 30 yuan a day for no food.
Although Yu Mingyue is now a well-known nouveau riche in ten miles and eight towns, and her real family background is even thicker than outsiders guess, Kong Xiaoyu and Yu Tianzhou are both from hard times. He still maintains the habit of diligence and frugality.
Although Yu Mingyue wanted to let Yu Tian and Zhou Lao and Kong Xiaoyu enjoy happiness, she had talked many times about this, and hired people if there was work in the orchard, but every time Yu Tian and Zhou Lao Kou were good, they turned their heads and still did what they should do.
Each time, only when they were too busy to do so, would they hire a certain number of villagers to help.
Now is the season when a large number of seasonal fruits such as peaches, plums, pears, mangoes, and grapes in the orchard are ripe and marketed, and it is also the busiest season for fruit farmers.
Although it was not yet 10 o'clock in the morning, on the other side of the road next to Yu Mingyue's house, which had been rebuilt from a cow road to a bullet stone road, in order to facilitate the beverage factory to harvest fruits, it was outside the purchase yard that had just been built at the beginning of last year. There have been long queues of farmers from their hometown and surrounding towns who have come to sell fruits.
There are many children who come to sell fruit with adults. It was even more laughing and laughing, outside the door, in addition to the three old ladies of the village, who were selling food such as cold noodles, cold noodles, rice cakes, and pancakes that they brought from home. There was also an old couple who brought two honeycomb coal stoves. There is a small stall selling rice noodles and noodles.
These people who come to sell fruit at this time. They are all busy until dawn, although they are used to eating two meals a day, and breakfast is generally eleven or twelve o'clock. But nowadays, there is no shortage of money in hand to sell fruit, and when you smell the smell of food coming from a few stalls, you can't help but eat a little.
Even those whose families are not in good economic conditions and who are thrifty themselves, under the begging of the girl boy who came with them, will buy something for the children who may have chased after them to sell fruit for food.
Looking at the frequent patronage of business, the wrinkled faces of the five old people who set up stalls are now smiling as big as chrysanthemums in full bloom.
The arrival of these people made this place, which was originally very quiet except for Yu Mingyue's house, which had no neighbors within a radius of 100 meters, and showed a busy and lively scene at this time.
Yu Mingyue was originally a person who liked to be quiet, but after getting off the train, when she saw the bustling scene outside the acquisition station like a small market, she was also infected by the joy of those people because of the harvest, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Standing on the side of the road and looking at it a few more times, he walked towards the gate, but when he saw General Tie guarding the door, Yu Mingyue couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Thinking of my grandmother, who may never be idle, I feel a deep sense of powerlessness in my heart, and at the same time, I also have a sour feeling.
Just as he was taking out the key and preparing to open the door, after the brakes of the motorcycle, a woman's voice seemed a little excited and enthusiastic.
"Yo, it's Xiaoyue who is back, did you just finish your high school exam today? How did you do in the exam this year, tell Aunt Wang. "Your grandmother, your mother, and your two younger brothers are picking mangoes in the orchard next to your house."
With this voice and tone, Yu Mingyue didn't need to turn her head to look, she knew that this person was Wang Wenying.
If in the previous life, Yu Mingyue would have stayed away from this woman who was not only calculating, but in this life, because Wang Wenying's family had been selling vegetables to Yu Mingyue's family in the past few years, after more contact, Yu Mingyue knew more about Wang Wenying, and there were fewer prejudices.
Wang Wenying, although the first impression is that she loves to calculate and gossip, she is not bad-hearted, and she is often very enthusiastic, but under her enthusiasm, she has her little Jiujiu. thinks she is very shrewd, but in Yu Mingyue's opinion, she is more like Yu Mingyue's aunt Na Yufen, who speaks without brains, often offends people unconsciously, and does thankless things from time to time.
When she heard Wang Wenying's overly enthusiastic question, Yu Mingyue was stunned by Wang Wenying's evaluation in her heart, and when she turned her head, she was already smiling when she saw her acquaintance.
Seeing Wang Wenying's man Chen Qingyong's motorcycle, he was carrying two baskets of peaches smaller than his fist, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Chen and Aunt Wang went to sell fruits so early, I had a holiday yesterday." ”
Yu Mingyue just responded very politely, and she didn't answer how she did in the exam, she didn't want to be pulled by Wang Wenying like last time, and when she found an opportunity, she would be pulled from all over the world for a while.
But Wang Wenying still found the topic, jumped out of the back seat of the motorcycle at once, took the two peaches in the basket and walked to Yu Mingyue, and smiled even more enthusiastically: "Come, try the peaches of your aunt's family, when you harvest big fruits in the supermarket, they are all sold, and these small ones are sold to your beverage factory, don't dislike them." ”
Not to mention that Yu Mingyue's family has more fruits than others, and she doesn't like to eat this peach, but the polite refusal is still difficult to refuse. When he had to take the two peaches, Wang Wenying was even more happy.
smiled very affectionately: "That's it, it's all your own family, don't be polite to your aunt." You finished the exam yesterday, so why did you come back today? Oh, by the way, listen to Yang Xiaobao's say, your big supermarket business is so good that the door is about to be crowded by those city people, you went to the supermarket yesterday to help sell things, right? ”
didn't wait for Yu Mingyue to answer, so she said with another sigh and envy: "I didn't know it before." Until the last time Yang Xiaobao went to the city for a walk. I heard her say that your supermarket is bigger than the one floor of the township government, and it sells so many things that she is dazzled, and she almost got lost in it. I've heard that there is also a staircase that can be moved by itself without human hands. Is there such a thing?
Wait for this time to sell the fruit. I'm also going to go into the city with my Xiaoli, and then I'll go to your supermarket.
By the way, you still remember my Xiaoli. You're five years younger than Xiaoyue, and you can't compare with Xiaoyue, but compared to those who lose the face of their ancestors in some people's families, it's also a struggle, and the school starts on the first of September this year, and it's also the first year of junior high school. Take her to the city before school starts, and stop by then."
Wang Wenying asked from time to time, but obviously didn't need Yu Mingyue to give an answer, so she chattered with sighs, envy and emotion.
Yu Mingyue was a little irritated in her heart, knowing that Wang Wenying was so enthusiastic to find her today, she must have some kind of thought, but she was still going to go home and go to the orchard to help after putting her things today, she really didn't have time to listen to Wang Wenying talk for a long time before saying her purpose like last time.
Although he was helpless in his heart, he had to try to keep the chuckle on his face and listen to Wang Wenying chanting.
But at this time, Chen Qingyong, who was still waiting on the highway, showed a helpless look, looked at Wang Wenying and scolded with a smile: "You woman just talk a lot, okay, Xiaoyue just came back and hasn't returned home yet." ”
Chen Qingyong is a person who likes to observe details, he can be regarded as growing up watching Yu Mingyue, so even if Yu Mingyue is laughing at this time, he has already seen Yu Mingyue's impatience.
I have to say that Chen Qingyong is very discerning, and he is also very good at dealing with people, and after laughing and scolding, he did not lose face and stopped Wang Wenying from continuing to nag, only then did he look at Yu Mingyue and smile kindly:
"Xiaoyue, your two younger brothers are picking mangoes in the orchard next to you with your family, I finished picking the peaches at home this morning, and I will come to your house to help in the afternoon, let's go first, when you are free, remember to come to your cousin's house to play."
After finishing speaking, the smile on his face did not decrease, and after urging Wang Wenying to get on the motorcycle, he nodded and smiled at Yu Mingyue, and without waiting for Wang Wenying to say anything, he rode directly to the acquisition site on the motorcycle.
Dozens of meters away, that is, dozens of seconds, the motorcycle stopped at the door of the acquisition field, Wang Wenying helped move the two baskets of peaches down, looked around, and complained in a low voice: "Hey, I said why are you like this?" I finally met Xiaoyue just now, I'm almost down to business, what are you urging like a desperate person, my eldest sister's family Xiaogang is not your nephew? He didn't find a job for almost a year after graduating, so why don't you worry about it at all? Alas, it's not been a few years, why are the current secondary school students so worthless, I remember the year before last"
"Alright, you can do less nagging." Chen Qingyong's eyes widened, and after scolding in a low voice, he looked around and no one was paying attention, and he couldn't help but reprimand: "Can you have a snack, I didn't see someone else just come back!" Is it when you say this? You just stand on the side of the road and pull people to nag, you have something to ask for people, really! ”
"Didn't I just give two peaches? Really. Wang Wenying was very unconvinced, and after roaring in a low voice, he began to nag again.
Yu Mingyue naturally didn't know about the scene that happened at the door of the acquisition station, and after returning home and putting away her backpack, she changed the outfit she wore when she went to the field, and went to the orchard.
This orchard is the earliest one in Yu Mingyue's family, and most of the fruit trees in it were dug and planted by Yu Mingyue when she was six years old.
At the beginning, the wasteland around her house and behind the house was about fifty or sixty acres in size, and after buying the wasteland owned by another production team after Shanbao, the orchard area of this entire hill has reached about 100 acres.
More than ten years ago, it was full of grass and rocks and looked desolate, but now it has grown with all kinds of lush fruit trees with different heights of two or three meters to four or five meters, and the spacing is very clear and reasonable.
Around this fruit mountain, there are also 8 ponds dug up before and after, each of which is about one acre in size, and there is one pond on the top of the mountain that is larger in area, but the water storage is three or four times that of other ponds.
In addition to irrigating fruit trees, the nine ponds also raise silver carp, silver carp, grass carp, crucian carp and other fish.
The meat quality of this kind of fish raised with mountain spring water is not comparable to the artificially farmed fish on the market, these fish are uniformly supplied to the supermarket, and the price is nearly two pieces higher than that of ordinary similar fish, but it is still very popular with customers.
In this hot summer, walking in the orchard that has grown into a forest brings people a rare sense of coolness, and at the same time, you can faintly smell the fragrance of fruits, which makes people feel refreshed and feel peaceful and comfortable.
So, even though it was very busy, but every month of these years, Yu Mingyue liked to go to the orchards once or twice, enjoying the peace and refreshment at the same time, but also enjoying the satisfaction of seeing the fruit trees she planted grow day by day.
Yu Mingyue, who is bent on working hard to make money and not letting go of a chance to make money, may give people a feeling of philistine loving money, but in fact, in the bottom of her heart, what she wants to live in the end is to retreat to the ordinary life of the countryside.
It's not the kind of sunrise and sunset, but when you save enough belongings and don't need to worry about the lack of money, in the middle of the fruit mountain, build a big courtyard house that is back to basics but comfortable with warmth.
Flowers and evergreen fruit trees are planted around the center of the courtyard, and a grape and firecracker flowers are planted in the center of the courtyard that are evergreen all year round but only bloom in winter.
Swings and other playground equipment for children can be installed in the fruit grove to let children have fun; Under the grape trellis and trellises, a hammock was installed that allowed her to lie down and read a book in her spare time when she was not tending to the orchard; During the Mid-Autumn Festival, several tables are set up under the grape trellis and flower trellises, and relatives gather together to chat and admire the moon
Walking in the fruit forest, Yu Mingyue imagined the picture many times in her mind, and once again it clearly appeared in her mind, as if she had already lived such a life, and her face showed a smile of happiness and satisfaction in peace.
When a fruity breeze blew, Yu Mingyue woke up from the floating picture in her mind, took a deep breath, and looked at the peach forest next to her, which was still green but faintly fragrant.
Suddenly, Yu Mingyue suddenly thought that many years ago, her cousin pulled herself into this peach forest to steal the unripe peaches to taste the taste, but the cousin left gaps on the peaches that had not yet grown up, such as the gaps left after being bitten by squirrels, and she couldn't see the picture of crying and laughing.
From the moment she was reborn with her memory, it was destined that Yu Mingyue would still not be able to have childlike fun in this life, but at this time, thinking of the bad things she had been forced to do by her cousin for many years, Yu Mingyue's childlike innocence rose for a while, and the corners of her mouth curled up and bent over into the peach forest.
Feeling the mood of her cousin who was still a child because of her young greed, Yu Mingyue's eyes searched around for a while, and finally found a peach that began to glow red but was obviously not fully ripe.
With a sense of heart, he got out of the peach forest, and with a happy mood, he took this peach, which was obviously able to grow a little longer, to the water at the edge of the forest and washed it, and it was a big mouthful.
Feeling that there was still a hint of sourness in the peach flesh, Yu Mingyue smiled.
It seems that she has seen many years later, she and her two younger brothers, cousins, cousins, cousins, and cousins' children formed a team during the summer vacation, quietly carrying adults into the fruit forest to taste the new things, but because of this, they gnawed the interesting scenes of the fruits one by one.
She is looking forward to that day. Until then, she will work harder. (To be continued......)
PS: I'm sorry for the break, but I took a big order, in addition to communicating with customers, I also have to participate in the whole process of ordering from the manufacturer. All the doll can do is make every effort to ensure that it is updated.
