Chapter 72: Harvesting the Fruit
Liu Guodong listened to the old man's words, and his heart turned a thousand times, but he had an idea. It is better to wait for him to go back from the south, go to the old man's ravine to harvest peaches, and then bring them out to sell, he can not only make money, but also help these mountain people solve some troubles.
Thinking so, Liu Guodong made up his mind in his heart and asked the old man: "Uncle, where are you!" ”
"The big ditch cliff, deep in the mountains." The old man responded.
"Do you have a lot of fruit trees?" Liu Guodong asked.
"There are a lot of fruits, and the mountains are full of fruit. After asking, they divided the land to the big guys in the village, but the land on the mountain, if you want to grow food, it is not easy to do, and the team discussed with the big guys, and finally bought fruit trees to plant. At first, everyone was quite happy and thought it was a way to make money, but later I learned that this idea was not practical, and there were many difficulties in the sales problem later. In short, our village is too poor. ”
"What kind of trees are there!"
"There are apricot trees and sets, and those that don't bear fruit early have fallen fruit. There are also apple trees and jujube trees, and it's not yet fruiting season, hey! The result is not the same, in fact, it is all the same, and it still rots in the ground in the end. Speaking of these, the old man was really distressed. When I bought these saplings, I used the only money in the team, and I also asked the big guys to scrape together to make money, but I didn't expect it to become such a result.
"Then you're just waiting for these fruits to go to waste, and you haven't thought of any other way?" Liu Guodong asked.
"I've thought about it, I've thought of everything, but I can't. If you think about it, it's not easy to walk down the mountain on two legs, let alone carrying a sack of fruit? I couldn't go down the mountain, and the leash in our village was that when I went down the mountain, I stepped on the air, rolled down the mountain and broke my leg, and I had to live in bed for the rest of my life. The old man sighed and shook his head when he talked about the past.
Don't mention these things. Over the years in this ravine, I have been sad and sad, and I have suffered and suffered, and when I recall it, it is all pain, and it is all unbearable. But what can be done? Born here, grow up like this, and die here when you are old, don't you have to live this disaster?
"Then you didn't think about asking people to go to your village to harvest fruits?" Liu Guodong asked strangely.
"Why didn't you think about it? I also looked for it, when the person drove the tractor, he was mistakenly stopped on the mountain road, and in the end the whole village was dispatched, and then the tractor was pushed out, and the people said that they would not go up anything, and the fruit was confiscated, and they complained. ”
"The village party secretary doesn't care?" Liu Guodong asked.
"! But what's the use! His leg was about to break, and when people heard that it was from our village, no one wanted to go. ”
"Is the mountain road so difficult?"
"We're used to walking, and we don't think it's difficult, but when people go to see it, they don't want to go into the mountains."
"That's a shame for those fruits." Liu Guodong said pityingly: "Uncle, can you leave me an address?" I'll take the time to check it out with you. ”
The old man smiled and said, "What are you doing with us?" ”
Liu Guodong thought in his heart, although he had plans to harvest the fruit, but in this situation, he did not dare to make a guarantee. After all, he had to go on a field trip himself, and he could only make a decision after seeing the results, and he didn't have the means of transportation, even if the fruit was good, he couldn't transport it.
After thinking about it, he replied to the old man: "My daughter-in-law loves to eat your fruit, if she wants to eat it in the future, I will go to your village to buy it." ”
When the old man heard this, his heart was happy. Although a person doesn't eat and buy much, it is also a kind of business after all, and it is a waste if it is wasted.
"That's a good feeling!" The old man said happily, paused, and said, "But I can't write." ”
The people in the big ravines have never been to school since they were children, and they can't even write their own names.
Liu Guodong took out the account book from his bag, which they were ready to use for bookkeeping when they were ready to buy goods in the south.
"Uncle, you say, I'll remember it."
"Dagouya Village, Xindian Town, Yuncheng County."
"Yikes! Uncle, we are still a town. Liu Guodong said.
"Really? So which village are you from? ”
"Liujia Village."
"Then I don't know, hehe." The old man smiled a little awkwardly.
Not to mention that the old man didn't know about Lijia Village, even Liu Guodong had never heard of Dagou Cliff. In this era, the countryside was relatively closed, there were few places to go, transportation was not developed, and individuals stayed in their own villages. If there is a girl who marries far away, it may also be the ability of the matchmaker, or it is said that the matchmaker is well-informed?
What they know is, at best, some nearby villages, and if you are more than twenty miles away, they are all relatively distant villages, not to mention that they have never been to them, and they have never heard of them.
An Ning sat on the sidelines, listening to them talk, and was really a little surprised, hey! In this era, not only is the network underdeveloped, but the transportation is also blocked. To talk about their era, it is to sit at home and not know where on the Internet? Which country doesn't know? Even if something happens somewhere, as soon as it spreads on the Internet, everyone will know about it.
It's all from the same town, and I don't even know where the village is!
Liu Guodong also smiled, this old man is indeed quite simple, and asked, "Then uncle, how can I find you when I go?" ”
"My name is Buckle, my surname is Wang, Wang Buckle, if you go, you will know as soon as you ask."
An Ning listened to the name of the old man, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. From time in time to this era, she has really heard too many strange names, there are bolts and ties in their village, and here there is another buckle.
But after laughing, An Ning realized that she was a little too rude, so she said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry! Uncle, I'm just wondering, how did I take such a name! ”
"At that time, I was so poor, I had nothing to eat and I had to gnaw on the bark of trees, when I was born! My father said that he named me a buckle, and if I detain it, won't I keep it? I hope to have a good life to survive. ”
Listening to the old man's explanation, An Ning was sad. Earlier, she had also seen a disaster movie called 1942. At that time, after watching the film, she was depressed for a long time, it was too uncomfortable, and she couldn't breathe uncomfortably. That year was a year of great famine, many people starved to death on the way to escape the famine, and legend has it that there was a phenomenon of cannibalism.
In the early years, it was too poor. She is really glad that her motherland is so great, and it has developed into such a prosperous scene in the future, so that the people can live a good life.
An Ning looked at this uncle, and he was really a little distressed. In this era, there are too many poor people, and she can't help them, but this old man is right in front of her right now, and if she wants to help something, she feels that she can't help it.
