845.Autumn Whispers (5/5)
The canneries have been producing since the summer.
This year, the weather in my hometown was a little dry, which was the best weather for fruit growth, and then it was a bit too abundant.
In other words, this year there was a flood of fruits, and prices plummeted!
But the people in the village don't worry, because their fruits are all into canned fruits in the village cannery, and some of them are dried fruits, so they don't have to worry about sales as usual.
The village party secretary and the village director went around to develop channels, and the villagers also spontaneously organized themselves to go to various markets in the county to engage in wholesale and retail, and the sales were not bad, which made the villagers overjoyed.
The villagers and the neighbors in the village, everyone knows that it is good and understands who it is with, so this Mid-Autumn Festival, there are many people who send things to Qin Shiou's family.
The parents of the little ones who went to the fish pond to fish yesterday also sent some things over, some were very simple home-grown vegetables, and some bought moon cakes, tobacco and alcohol, anyway, the moon cakes were the most, and Qin's father estimated that one box a day could be eaten until the New Year.
In addition to giving gifts, the neighbors also beat around the bush to promote the girls of their relatives or friends, even if they guard Winnie, they dare to mention that Qin Shiou has now become the first young man in Shili Eight Street, everyone knows that marrying his daughter into the Qin family will just wait for happiness in this life.
Qin Shiou was annoyed, and people also had good intentions, after all, he was not married, so he could only be introduced by others, so he had no choice but to take Winnie to wander on the hill behind the village.
Before leaving, he also heard a woman who was about to be called an aunt in his seniority nagging with his mother: "Sister, you think clearly, your daughter-in-law is still reliable by your side." Foreign is good-looking, but what. The culture is different, you said that your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will get along ...... in the future."
Winnie smiled generously at home. The queen showed the side of a little woman, and said dissatisfiedly: "How is the culture different? Didn't I grow up eating? Haven't I read a book? Well, let's talk about culture, I don't believe how well the girls they introduce know about Chinese culture. ”
Qin Shiou took her hand and laughed, listening to Winnie's complaints along the way, the two walked through the farmland in the village and entered the mountain, which was full of orchards, and the villagers developed it very successfully.
It's already Mid-Autumn Festival. The fruits are ripe, the purple-red or yellow-green grapes hang on the vines, the pale yellow apples and pears hang on the branches, the persimmons are still a little green, and the autumn plums and chestnuts are ripe.
Walking through a vineyard, the watchdog inside barked, and the owner of the orchard ran out to see that it was Qin Shiou, picked two bunches of grapes, washed them and handed them to him, and said with a smile: "Why did the little gull run up the mountain?" Come. Taste the rose fragrance of my uncle's house, it is very sweet. ”
Qin Shiou smiled and said that he would accompany his daughter-in-law to walk around and familiarize himself with his hometown, and the man sighed and said, "Alas. You must come back more often, you said that you will live in a foreign country in the future, and the children are also foreign nationals. In a few years, we won't be from our village. ”
Qin Shiou said that it would not. The roots are in the village, and I will definitely bring them back when I have children in the future. Let the child grow up in the village when he is young.
After chatting a few words, Qin Shiou and Winnie continued to wander around the mountains while eating grapes.
Compared with the Cambal Mountains, the mountains in my hometown are not very green, the trees are cut down badly, and fruit trees are planted. But because most of the orchards have not been developed for a long time, there are no big trees, so it is good to look at it from a distance, but when you look at it closely, the mountains are bare.
But all the mountains are the same, and the roads are full of brilliant wildflowers.
Qin Shiou introduced the types of these flowers to Winnie, Winnie listened to it with relish, many flowers have legends, and the introduction is also quite interesting.
Finding a clean place to sit down on the slope of the mountain, Qin Shiou looked down, and the small village was in full view.
The surging Bailong River passes through the foot of the mountain, makes a bend in front of the village and continues to flow forward, the village is full of red tiles, white walls, green trees, and streets and alleys are intertwined like a chessboard.
Qin Shiou looked up at the still blue sky, sighed and said, "Before, before I went out to school, I thought that the village was very big, and I could just find a place to play for a day. Looking back now, the village is actually just a little bit there. ”
Winnie smiled: "It's your heart that has grown, it's all like this, and as we get older, our horizons are also broadening." ”
Qin Shiou held her hand and said, "Yes, my heart has become bigger, Winnie, you don't know, if I didn't go to Farewell Town, I really don't know how I would spend my life." When I was in Island City, I was very confused......"
As he spoke, he shook his head, the days when he had just been dismissed were really miserable. A few years of work in state-owned enterprises have completely exhausted his fighting spirit and scattered what he learned in college.
Sometimes when he wakes up in the middle of the night, Qin Shiou doesn't know where his future path is, and he even wants to commit suicide in despair.
At that time, he was really scared, he was afraid that he would have some kind of depression or something, staying alone in a small house, looking for a job was not going well, and he was out of breath from the pressure and responsibility.
Thinking about it now, he was a bit unproductive at the time, mainly because it would have been too stressful.
Winnie shook his hand and smiled, "God has already laid out the path for us to take, we just need to go on bravely." Do not be afraid, be strong and courageous; Do not be afraid, neither be afraid; For the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. ”
Qin Shiou smiled and picked up a stone and threw it down, throwing it into a group of weeds that were beginning to wither and yellow, and as a result, a gray hare was scared.
The hare looked around in a panic, then ran away, and soon disappeared without a trace. If this was on Mount Kambal, the hare would definitely not be afraid of this, as long as Qin Shiou and Winnie did not approach it, it would stupidly return to the grass and continue to hide.
The sky is high and cool, a group of geese fly from the north, arranged in a Y-shape to the south, the bleak autumn wind then blows, Qin Shiou is at home, feeling that the autumn is particularly strong.
Autumn, it's arrived.
In the evening, Qin Shiou took Winnie down the mountain, and the village resounded with firecrackers one after another, but the streets were very deserted, and there was no festive atmosphere, so people set off firecrackers and went home immediately.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qin Shiou helped clean up the farmland at home, and the corn and peanuts were ripe, because of the opening of the fish pond this year, the family only planted half an acre of corn and half an acre of peanuts.
Qin Shiou persuaded his parents not to plant food directly next year, this time Qin's father and Qin's mother obediently listened to his words, and said: "Okay, next year we won't farm the land, just raise fish and shrimp, and then open the fish pond bigger, and get you a big hotel in the county!" ”
Hearing this, Qin Shiou smiled bitterly, yes, my father and mother have to continue to be busy. (To be continued......)
