Chapter 1 Lotus Pond
On Tuesday, Meng Zhen sat on a motorized tricycle. After notarizing the transfer of real estate with Uncle Meng from the urban notary office, I took a bus to the Chengxi District Police Station in Liujiaji. Zhao Kai's classmate, Officer Sun, was very enthusiastic to help her complete the formalities, and it didn't take long for her to get the freshly baked household registration book.
Liujiaji is not far from Zhoujiazhuang, which is the traditional market of Jade Mountain, and the town is also named after this market. Although an all-day vegetable market and a farmers' market were later added, people from nearby villages still habitually come to the market every Monday and Friday. After everything was done, Meng Zhen was very happy in his heart, and visited the vegetable market with great interest. Today is the eighth day of the lunar calendar, and it is not the day to catch the market, so there are not many people here. The vegetable market was built relatively simply, with a large shed and a row of cement tables below, each more than a meter long, marked with a number underneath, and then rented to nearby farmers to set up stalls.
This year, the climate is not very good, fruits and vegetables from the south cannot be transported, and there are not many local vegetable varieties and they are ridiculously expensive. Greenhouse vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers do not look very good, and they are four or five yuan a catty, and the slightly better ones are six or seven yuan. Meng Zhen read a few copies, and felt that eating a vegetable is more expensive than meat now, but fortunately, there are vegetables growing in her yard now, but a sprout has just appeared, and she doesn't know what it is. Since the vegetables are so expensive, just grow them yourself, even if you don't sell them, you can save them by eating them!
Anyway, now that she has taken a vacation, she has nearly 2 months to finish moving the house, and there is still a lot of time to try. When I used to play on the farm, I was thinking that if I had two acres of land one day, I would grow some vegetables, raise some flowers, no pesticides, no chemical fertilizers, and strive to eat pure green vegetables by myself!
It's better to act than to move, next to the vegetable market are several shops selling farm tools and seeds, and Meng Zhen came to the first one. The boss is a middle-aged man in his fifties, who is sitting listlessly by the door because there is less business today.
Seeing Meng Zhen looking at the door, he beckoned, "Girl, what are you buying." We have a lot of things, do you want seeds, or fertilizers! Come on, let's go inside and have a look. ”
"If you want to buy some seeds, what kind of vegetable seeds do you have here?"
Meng Zhen followed the boss into the store and saw that there were two counters in the store, behind the counters were shelves, and bags of fertilizer were piled up at the base of the wall.
"We have all kinds of seeds, like tomatoes, cucumbers, bok choy, rape, loofahs, etc., what seeds do you want?"
The boss pointed to the shelves and introduced them to Meng Zhen one by one.
Meng Zhen looked at it, she didn't know anything about this, she couldn't see the difference, and she couldn't tell the difference between good and bad. According to the variety of vegetables I like to eat, I chose some tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants and other vegetable seeds. I saw that there were strawberry and melon seeds, so I bought some as well. The price was not expensive, she didn't buy much, and at the end of the checkout she added some roses, sunflowers, and morning glory seeds.
The boss collected the money, weighed the seeds and put them into small bags, put them together in a plastic bag and handed them to Meng Zhen: "Girl, what else do you want, we have all the things here." ”
Meng Zhen looked at it, and finally carried a plastic bucket, a gourd scoop and a shovel. What else do you need, she hasn't planted before, so she doesn't know what else she needs. Forget it, that's all, go to the village and ask the village chief.
After settling the bill, Meng Zhen put everything in the bucket, carried the bucket in one hand, and left the souvenir shop with the shovel in the other.
Walking to the side of the road, she found a problem, she couldn't just walk over, although it was not far from the village.
It's almost eleven o'clock, Meng Zhen is standing on the side of the road in a daze, the temperature is relatively low now, but standing in the sun, she still sweats quickly, looking around, there are several motor tricycles parked on the side of the road, it seems to be the legendary "black taxi". She walked over to the nearest car, and after haggling, she sat down.
In the car of "Tutu", Meng Zhen thought of the scene of asking for leave yesterday. Manager Fang knew about Meng Zhen's purchase of a house, and he also counted that she was going to ask for leave, but when Meng Zhen handed him the leave report, he was still stunned: take four years of annual leave, a total of 52 days?! Let her take a break, although it is the off-season for business, but without an assistant, it will still delay a lot of things; Don't let her take a break, this is the benefit of every regular employee of the company, and Meng Zhen has been serious and diligent in the company for six years. Manager Fang thought about it for a long time, but still signed the leave application, asked her to hand over the work to Xiao Zhang, and agreed to her application. And Xiao Zhang heard that she was going to take a long vacation, first shouted "You are not here, what should I do", and then when he knew that this was a paid vacation, he was very envious, wow, she can still get paid without working for two months, it's so cool, she also has to work hard and strive to stay in this company. Meng Zhen didn't know that her leave invisibly strengthened the new employee's loyalty to the company.
A few minutes later, when she came to Zhoujiazhuang, she came to her yard with her things under the curious eyes of the villagers, opened the door, put the things down first, and then went to the village committee to find the village chief.
"Meng Zhen is here, is the matter over?" The village committee is a small courtyard, a slippery bungalow, Meng Fanhao saw Meng Zhen coming in from the window, so he put down the teacup and let her in.
"Well, it's done, take a look!" Meng Zhen handed the household registration book and notarial certificate to the village chief
Meng Fanhao flipped through it and said to her with a smile: "Okay, that's no problem." By the way, you don't know where your land is, I'll show you! ”
As he spoke, he stood up and led Meng Zhen to the farmland in the village.
The cultivated land of Zhoujiazhuang is concentrated at the foot of the mountain, one by one, extending from the foot of the mountain.
Along the way, there were villagers who went home to eat to greet Meng Fanhao, and also looked at Meng Zhen by the way. After walking for a few minutes, I came to the edge of the field. Meng Fanhao pointed to the piece leaning against the mountain and said: "That's it, there is still wheat planted in the field, it is cold this spring, and now the seedlings have just emerged." It used to be planted by Uncle Qingwu, and now it's all yours. ”
Meng Zhen looked at the village chief's hand, she never knew how big an acre was, and now it doesn't seem to be small, there are rows of small shoots growing in the ground. Oh, this is wheat! She looked at the land that now belonged to her, and suddenly a scene appeared in front of her: on the edge of the green wheat field, there was a half-acre lotus pond, on the big lotus leaves, frogs jumping, pink and white lotus flowers swaying in the breeze, and there were several weeping willows planted on the side of the lotus pond, and the luxuriant willow leaves hung low on the water!
"Meng Zhen, Meng Zhen!"
Meng Fanhao saw that she was stunned, so he patted her shoulder.
"Oh, what, village chief, what's wrong?"
Meng Zhen looked at him blankly as if he had woken up.
"Nothing, are you alright?" Haven't the girls in this city seen wheat fields, why do they have dreamy smiles on their faces?
"It's alright, village chief, are you alright? If it's okay, you go get busy first, I'll take a look at the yard! ”
"Okay, that's the situation anyway, you get familiar with it first, if you have any difficulties, go to the village committee to find me."
"Okay, I'm sorry for you!"
Watching the village chief leave, Meng Zhen turned around again, and the lotus pond was gone! Meng Zhen shook his head vigorously and looked over again, there was half an acre of wasteland on the edge of the wheat field, where is the lotus pond?! Could it be that I was hallucinating just now?
Meng Zhen returned to his small courtyard in confusion, opened the door, and went to the well to wash his face. It's so strange, I saw it, and I still dreamed in broad daylight? But it's too real, she seems to have heard the croaking of frogs.
Forget it, let's get down to business. She went to the living room first, took out a tape measure and began to measure, jotting down the measured data in a notepad, and then the kitchen. After measuring, she looked at her house room by room. From the kitchen, to the living room, to the bedroom, and even the bathroom, she looked carefully, and then the fields.
Meng Zhen was stunned again, field?! How could there be a field, she looked at the land in front of her and was dizzy. She pinched herself, sizzle, it hurt! But this time the hallucinations did not go away. In front of her was a piece of land, neatly divided into three pieces, one yellow, one black, and one red. In the distance was a wooden house, and she walked towards it in a daze. There was a tree next to the hut that she didn't recognize, and it was leafy. Under the tree is a square basin of spring water, and crystal droplets of water tumble out of the cracks at the bottom of the pool.
Where is this, how did she get here. Meng Zhen put his hand into the spring water, it was cool, and it felt so real.
Meng Zhen suddenly panicked, it was so quiet here, she could clearly hear her heartbeat. Mom, what's wrong with me?!
The right hand can't help but hold the jade bracelet on the left wrist, this is definitely not my yard, how can I go back!
Suddenly, in a flash, she was back in the bathroom, and her pale face was reflected in the mirror!
