Yunjia Village used to be a small village, almost a thousand households in the village, located in the Jiangbei area, the crops of the four seasons are wheat and rice, hard work to remove taxes, sell part of it in exchange for silver taels, the rest is only enough for their own life to eat, if it encounters a disaster year, then there is no way to live, fortunately, Yunjia Village is selected in the upper reaches of the river, there will be no shortage of water and no floods, it can be seen that the ancestors should be well investigated when they chose the site.

The above are all the previous Yunjia Village, now let's take a look at the current Yunjia Village.

Fruit trees are planted at the foot of several mountain ranges in the village, and the fields are uniformly planned, among which the paddy fields are used to grow water-loving vegetables, and fish are raised in the ditches, the dry land where wheat is planted is planted with drought-loving vegetables, and the sandy land is planted with melons, mainly watermelons, and there is a lotus pond planted with lotus roots, fish and shrimp.

It can be said that the entire Yunjia Village has been transformed to grow vegetables and fruits, of course, the effect is very gratifying, please look at the roads and houses in the village.

The village has built two main roads paved with bluestone slabs, which are crossed in a cross shape, the roads are spacious and clean, and then there are some small roads that are repaired to the entrance of each house, although they are not paved with bluestone slabs, they are cleaned very clean, and the ground is flat.

The houses of the villagers are distributed on both sides of the main road, among which the houses in the west of the village are all five upper rooms, plus the pattern of two wing houses in the east and west, the houses and walls are made of blue bricks, and the courtyard gate is two wooden doors with black iron sheets more than one person high, and the door is inlaid with a knocker in the middle.

The houses in the east of the village are mainly one-entry or two-entry courtyards that occupy a large area, and such families are rich and invite subordinates. The scenery in the courtyard is beautiful, planted with flowers and trees, there is a small garden, but the courtyard garden of the second entrance is larger, the door of each house has been repaired, for the people who watch the door to live, the blue brick wall of more than two meters high encloses the courtyard inside, each family is painted with red paint of the gate, and the door is the lion head with the knocker.

A large square was set up at the intersection of the main road, there are two big trees in the center of the square, around the big tree is a stone bench and a stone table, from the big tree to the outward planting of a row of small saplings that have only grown for a year or two, every fifty meters a flower bed with a diameter of ten meters is built, which is planted with all kinds of flowers and plants, and the flower bed is surrounded by a long stone bench, which is used to give people a rest, and this is a place for everyone to rest and chat.

Each of the Yunjia villagers was dressed in new clothes, and the women (girls) wore one or two silver hairpins on their heads and silver bracelets on their hands, their faces were ruddy and their faces were smiling, and children over the age of five were sent to school in the north of the village.

In the morning, everyone walked out of the house and walked towards the mountain with baskets on their shoulders, greeting the people around them as they walked.

These two days are the days when oranges are ripe and picked, several mountains in Yunjia Village have been bought by Yun Tiezhu's family, the Yun family paid for everyone to help pick oranges, three copper plates per catty, oranges on half a hillside are about five to sixty thousand catties, there are not many people about three hundred people, mostly women, old people and children, and few young and strong young men.

"Aunt Xiu, I heard that several families have come to inquire about your Qishan, have you decided?" A wealthy middle-aged woman talked to her aunt wearing a white cotton cloth on a blue background.

"Well, the town is good, but we have to wait until we see the girl. Aunt Xiu said with a smile, their family Qishan is not worried about others, who doesn't know that Yunjia Village is doing well, and they are all in a hurry to add the girl in.

"It's a good time for your family to catch up with Qishan, let's really take a good look at this condition. The rich aunt said.

"It's a pity that the boss of my family made it a little early, but fortunately, Lan Niang is diligent. Aunt Fu, your kid should talk about people after the New Year, and is your daughter decided?"

"My family's wait for next year to see each other, my sister-in-law has always wanted to introduce his uncle, saying that he will come to talk about this after the examination next year, don't I wait. Aunt Fu said with some smugness.

"Hey, this is a good family, if you really become a talented man, you have to hurry. Aunt Xiu said enviously.

Aunt Fu smiled proudly, her girl will marry Master Xiucai in the future.

After chatting, they came to the foot of the mountain, and everyone followed the Yun family's steward into the orchard, listened to the picking requirements, and then dispersed and began to work.

As long as you are not lazy, it is no problem to pick a hundred catties a day, like grandparents with children, there are many adults, and children take turns to deliver.

"To say, I didn't expect us to live such a good life, thanks to the eldest daughter of the Tiezhu family. "Women of about fifty brought their grandchildren to pick fruit and chatted with the old man next to them.

"That's a good girl, kind-hearted, she made her own fortune and didn't forget to bring everyone to get rich together. Some hunchbacked uncles said with emotion.

"That's right, let's just say that it took a lot of money to build the road and the square, and there is also a school, and we will send San Lang to study next year. ”

A five-year-old boy known as Saburo quickly catches the oranges that his brother threw down from a tree and puts them in a basket.

"I told you to be careful, don't break it. The uncle frowned and instructed, although people say that occasional bumps are acceptable, but you must have a conscience, people provide such a good job, you must be careful, you can't deliberately break things, you can't do it for the sake of quantity, that's only done by people with a bad conscience.

"Grandpa, my brother and I are paying attention, don't worry. San Lang pouted at the old man, held the hem of the clothes on his chest and looked at the clothes that his brother threw down, and quickly caught the clothes.

After a busy day, half of the oranges in the middle of the mountain were picked, and tomorrow it can be harvested for another busy day, and when each family left, the steward asked each family to send a pound of oranges.

Everyone smiled and took the money and went home with oranges.

At the entrance of the village, the fruit merchants in the town were already waiting, and after the oranges harvested on the mountain were sorted for a second time, they were pulled down the mountain by ox carts and sent to the entrance of the village, where they were weighed and counted.

The merchant who received the fruit happily pulled the cart full of oranges and left.

Someone asked, why are they so anxious to harvest fruits, and what is the difference between the fruits in Yunjia Village and those in other places? Anyone who has eaten the fruits of Yunjia Village will tell you that they are different, delicious, and eating them regularly is good for the body.

As long as the fruit marked as a cloud word trademark is sure to sell well, and the supply exceeds demand, like these fruits and vegetables that should not be put for too long can generally only be bought in the surrounding provinces, and there are also people in neighboring provinces to sell, and then it is not possible to eat it, and if you want to eat, you can only go to Fanhu Province to buy, or the rich people choose to transport the fruit chilled all the way back, and they can also eat a fresh.

At present, in addition to Yunjia Village, there is only one base in the capital.

The largest family in Yunjia Village, the courtyard of Sanjin belongs to Yun Tiezhu's family.

"What about your sister, didn't you say you'd come back today?" said a middle-aged man in his early thirties to the person writing in the courtyard, this person was Yun Tiezhu, Yun Ge's father had just returned from the mountain, and saw that his daughter had not returned home yet.

"My mother has already sent someone to pick me up at the entrance of the village, and I should be back soon. Yunxiao, the younger brother of the Yun family, put down the brush and moved his wrist back.

Yun Tiezhu looked at the sky, and it was still dark in an hour, so let's wait.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Yunxiao looked at his father's expression, slightly anxious.

"It's not your sister yet, it's not even married at such an old age, even if it's decided to marry first. Yun Tiezhu said dissatisfiedly, thinking of today's incident, he felt a headache, and when his daughter came back, he must forcibly engage her.

Yunxiao wants to say that 16 years old is not too old, and besides, my sister has the ability, there are many people who pursue her, and it is not that she can't get married, but looking at his father's face, he chose to shut up.
