65. Plant oranges
Lin Sanniang's apology finally came to an end, and after Lin Qingxiang knew that Li Weiyan was insulted, he immediately wanted to seek justice, but was persuaded by Li Weiyan.
Lin Qingxiang felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, and was even more disappointed in Village Chief Lin, and even the last gratitude in his heart was offset.
Li Weiyan let out a bad breath in public, and after moving to Fenghe Zhuang, she didn't have the heart to take care of Lin Sanniang's affairs, and lived her own small life freely.
Lin Zichen originally wanted to take advantage of the move to talk about the orange grove, but he didn't know that Lin Sanniang had such a bad thing, so he could only put this matter aside.
"Boom, boom!"
"Grandpa, grandma, everyone get up quickly, it's going to rain hard."
At noon on this day, the people of Fenghe Zhuang were taking a nap, and in the blink of an eye, the sky that was still under the scorching sun changed its face, and thunder rumbled.
Lin Zichen usually enters the space during the afternoon nap, and as soon as he came out of the space, he heard such a loud thunder, hurriedly put on his shoes, and ran out of the door.
The summer rain is coming, and the food collected in front of and behind the house is drying, Lin Zichen woke up the family and quickly moved the bamboo sieves into the house.
"It's coming, Weiye, Weimao, hurry up, it's going to rain." Li Bangguo ran out of the house and joined the team to collect it.
A dozen or so people got busy working hard and finally brought all the food back to the house before the heavy rain came.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa." All of a sudden, it darkened, and bead-sized raindrops fell from the sky and smashed on the roof tiles with a crisp knocking sound.
"It's so dangerous, fortunately Xiao Chen called early, otherwise this sun-dried grain would have been blistered." Li Yuedi said with palpitations.
Everyone sat at the door of the house, watching the pouring rain outside, and chatting in low voices.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I have something I want to discuss with you." Lin Zichen finally waited for the opportunity to say what was in his heart.
"Tell me something." Li Bangguo motioned to Lin Zichen and said.
"Ah Gong, I want to get the orange grove in the back mountain again."
"Xiao Chen, are you going to plant oranges?" Li Weiye looked at Lin Zichen with a curious expression.
Lin Zichen nodded and said his plan.
Li Bangguo listened to Lin Zichen come up with the plan one by one, nodded slightly and said: "Well, when I was young, I learned to grow oranges, and after planting the oranges in the back mountain, I didn't take care of them because I was busy, and it is estimated that they all died." ”
When Li Weiyan heard this, she smiled stupidly.
"Third sister, what are you laughing at?" Li Weimao looked at Li Weiyan strangely.
Li Weiyan stopped laughing and said, "Dad, you haven't been to Houshan for a while, right?" ”
Li Bangguo nodded, but he didn't understand what this had to do with Li Weiyan's smile.
Li Weiyan looked at the rest of the family and said in disbelief: "You don't all know that Xiao Chen took care of the oranges again." ”
"Really? When was this? Li Bangguo asked Lin Zichen in surprise.
When Lin Zichen heard this, he showed a sad expression, "Grandpa, you haven't noticed that I carry a hoe to the back mountain all day long." ”
"E~" Li Bang Chinese, he really didn't pay attention.
Seeing Li Bangguo's speechless appearance, Lin Zichen burst out laughing, "Grandpa, I'm teasing you, you really take it seriously." Wait a minute, I just came back from picking some oranges from the orange grove in the morning, and I will bring them to you to taste. ”
"Isn't it the season for oranges to ripen? How come there are oranges to eat? Lin Qingxiang looked at Lin Zichen suspiciously.
"Eh~ I don't know, it is estimated that this orange tree has not borne fruit for too long, and I have taken care of it for so long, and it will grow fruit." Lin Zichen really couldn't explain that it was the stream of the space that made the oranges ripen in advance, so he ran back to the room with a cigarette and returned to the living room with a dozen or so oranges.
Each of them took an orange in his hand and began to eat it.
"Well, this orange is not as delicious as my sister gave me." Lin Zixi ate half of it, and gave the remaining half to Li Weiyan with some disgust.
"Glutton, it's good to have something for you to eat, and you're a picky eater." Li Weiyan gently patted the back of Lin Zixi's head and stuffed the orange into Lin Zixi's hand again.
Lin Zixi frowned and ate the remaining half of the oranges.
"Ah Gong, how is it? This orange should sell very well. Lin Zichen looked at Li Bangguo with a look of hope.
"Well, it tastes really good, and if it's really taken care of, there will be more items at home." Li Bangguo is in favor of reorganizing the orange forest.
The family sat together, carefully analyzed the care of the orange grove, and finally clapped their hands unanimously and decided to do a good job.
The summer rains come and go as fast as they come. As soon as the sky cleared, the Li Weiye brothers and Lin Qingxiang went to the back mountain to see the orange grove that Lin Zichen had taken care of.
Li Bangguo personally went out to take care of the orange grove in an orderly manner, and by the way, he explained to Li Weiye and others the matters that should be paid attention to when planting oranges.
The Li family was busy with the affairs of the orange grove, and Gu Siting, Zhang Zicheng and others were busy with the affairs of the manufacturing plant.
The matter of the manufacturing plant has received strong support and encouragement from the superiors, but because of the shortage of public funds in Pinghe County, Gu Siting and others can only find ways to attract sponsorship by themselves.
Raising funds, buying packaging machines, the whole process went down, and it took more than two months for the prototype of the manufacturing plant to come out.
"Sting, you have the windows in this room removed and a new set of windows with a wider view." Jiang Rong pointed to the small, old wooden window and said to Gu Siting.
"No problem. Are there any other parts of this room that need to be changed? Gu Sting recorded the changes in his notebook, and looked up to ask Jiang Rong.
Jiang Rong looked at Gu Siting meticulously taking notes, and couldn't help but sigh, "Hey, I've been saying it has been so many years, and you haven't changed this habit." ”
Gu Sting chuckled lightly and said, "A good memory is better than a bad pen, and if you write it in a notebook, you are not afraid that you will forget it." Besides, the manufacturing plant can't be sloppy. ”
Jiang Rong glanced at the old house and persuaded: "I said that you might as well rebuild a house to put the pickling jar, this house is so old, I don't know if it can be used." ”
It's not that Jiang Rong dislikes this house, it's that this house is too old, Jiang Rong is worried about a few more rains, so it will strike directly.
Gu Sting smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know how short of funds there is now, after buying a packaging machine, there are only a few pennies left in the village, and now you can save it." ”
"Hey, it's up to you." It's hard to do anything without money, and Jiang Rong also knows that the money allocated by the county town is not very much, so he can only save it.
Immediately, Jiang Rong pointed out the places that needed to be changed in this house, and Gu Sting wrote them down in the notebook one by one.
