Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Strawberry Race
Ling Mei Ke didn't know that she was being remembered again.
When she came home on the weekend, Guixiang had already brought Zixia and Zichun over.
"Big cousin, cousin." Ling Mei said happily, "But I can look forward to you." Unexpectedly, her mother really said that Zixia resigned and went to the sea. Tsk, the advantages and disadvantages of the eldest cousin are obvious, and you have to train it well.
Zixia was also immersed in the joy of his uncle opening two companies. He grinned: "Ling Mei, I heard from my aunt." Your family is really developed this time! โ
Zichun had already calmed down, and just smiled gently and firmly at Ling Mei: I'm here.
I'll do everything you tell me.
I will definitely not waste this rare opportunity.
A few days ago, Guixiang went to her mother's house to talk about the success of the family's rice fish and the opening of the two companies. The Luo family was naturally excited. Especially Zhiqiang, he asked vigorously: "Guixiang, my brother is good to you, right?" The family has never treated you badly, right? You're so developed now, you can't forget your brothers and your nephews. โ
Luo Mu hated that iron could not be made of steel and said, "Look at your eyesight realm." If Guixiang doesn't remember us, come to our side to eat the sea breeze and eat sand? She hugged her daughter and said very gently, "Say, as long as we can help you and Yueshan, we will never shirk it." โ
Guixiang then said: "Mother." Ling Mei wants to grow strawberries. โ
"Strawberries?" Luo family, you look at me, I look at you.
Luo Mu patted her leg and said, "Why do you say Ling Mei is so smart?" Strawberries are a good thing, they are rare to see in the market, and they sell for a lot of money! โ
Lu Ying asked suspiciously: "Little sister, is Ling Mei sure?" โ
"Not sure you'll come to us?" Luo's mother felt that the Dafang family was not clear-headed.
Guixiang smiled: "Although it is the first time to plant." But Ling Mei is a child who has the ability, and I have confidence in her. No, she said that she had to go to school, and her father had two companies to take care of. So let me ask you, are you reluctant to let Zixia and Zichun go to Yunlai Village with me to plant strawberries? โ
Luo's mother widened her eyes and was overjoyed: "What's so reluctant about this?" Zichun Zixia, are you willing to go to grow strawberries with your aunt? โ
Lu Ying was not as happy as her mother-in-law, but was full of entanglement.
"Mother, can't you let Zixia resign from the porcelain field? Besides, if Zichun leaves, there will be fewer people working at home. What about the work in the fieldsโ"
"You're confused!" Luo Mu glared at her. "The porcelain factory is almost out of order, how many kilns can be opened a year now? Zhiqiang is retired in the porcelain factory. Do you still want Zixia to delay for a lifetime? Immediately suspend work tomorrow! โ
Zixia also said: "Mother." I really can't stay in the porcelain field anymore. Let me try it at my aunt's. Big deal to get sick and retire first? โ
Lu Ying only looked at Zichun. The last thing she wanted was to let go of a hard-working laborer. As soon as Zichun leaves, most of the work at home will fall on her. She asked Guixiang with a smile: "Little sister, Zichun is young and ignorant, do you think I can go with Zixia?" โ
Guixiang gave her mother a look.
Luo Mu immediately understood, and sneered: "What Ling Mei wants is Zichun." Just you, you can't even grow vegetables on one acre and three points of land at home, and you are embarrassed to replace Zichun? Why, it's because you live too much at home, and you want to escape and be happy, right? โ
Lu Ying sneered: "Mother, what are you talking about, I just don't worry about Zixia outside." After speaking, he glared at Zichun, and he was resentful in his heart, he cheapened her!
"Little sister," she asked again, "did Ling Mei say anything about salary?" โ
Guixiang said happily: "Don't worry about the salary. Zichun Zixia is his own family. Eat and live. The monthly salary is 40 yuan at first. Strawberries are well grown, and there is a prize money at the end of the year. โ
Lu Ying was speechless for a while: 40 yuan a month, that's the salary standard of cadres!
Zichun's heart is beating: She can also earn 40 a month?
Zhiyuan's family was envious. Ziming still has two years to read, and Zixuan is still too young. It's a shame to miss out on such a great opportunity.
Guixiang saw the second brother's thoughts and said to them: "Second brother and sister-in-law, don't worry. There will be many opportunities in the future. There are two companies in the village, and I'm afraid that there is no place for Ziming Zixuan? โ
Zhiyuan and his wife immediately laughed: "Little sister is right. โ
The night before Zichun went out, he was brought to the house by Lu Ying and trained for more than an hour.
Why do you want to do more work for Zixia? You can't be lazy, and the money has to be handed over and sent back every month. also scolded her for leaving, why did she have such a good thing? Hearing this, even Zhiqiang frowned: "Why is a good thing so ugly in your mouth?" Zichun goes back and rests early, and don't miss the first train when you get up early tomorrow. โ
Zichun lowered her eyebrows and let her mother reprimand, she should do whatever her mother says. Anyway, I'm going to be free!
Thinking of the life that had not yet arrived, Zichun lay on the bed and silently shed tears of joy.
After the manpower arrived, Ling Mei immediately began to build the strawberry greenhouse.
This time to try to plant strawberries, Ling Mei rented an acre of vacant land from the village, let people loosen and kill insects in advance to supplement nutrition, raise high ridges according to specifications, and also prepared dozens of sacks of coarse sand, which needs to be mixed with germinated seeds and planted.
As for the greenhouse, she chose a solar greenhouse, and the material of the steel frame is durable. The structure of the greenhouse was specially drawn by her and asked He Ye to help customize it. Even when building the greenhouse, He Ye also came to observe it in person.
At that time, the greenhouse had begun to be promoted throughout the country, but most of the farmers made their own low-rise and simple versions of bamboo stalks. With such a dense and sturdy steel frame as Lingmei's strawberry shed, the design of a tall house has never been seen before. The villagers were stunned.
In the ground, the steel bones alone were fixed for a whole day, and the white film was laid to ensure that the temperature in the room rose steadily.
Xiao Yuanliang looked at the beautiful and exquisite greenhouse, and liked it and sighed: "How much does this cost!" โ
Yue Shan said: "Ling Mei asked Zhong Lao for help, and it didn't cost much. In addition to the greenhouse, she also asked others to buy potash fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer. Fertilizer, which I have never heard of, cost more than two thousand in total. โ
More than two thousand!
Everyone who smells it hurts.
Xiao Yuanliang glanced at his eldest son speechlessly: Fortunately, the two companies in the village have made a lot of money, so they can make Ling Mei toss like this.
"Dad, do you want Ling Hai to grow strawberries together?"
Xiao Yuanliang was a little moved, and shook his head after thinking for a while: Strawberries are not easy to raise, and the investment is too high. It's not like rice and fish, which is almost a non-capital business.
"Why don't you let Ling Hai study with him first, and then talk about it when he learns home."
"Okay. I'll talk to Ling Mei. "Yue Shan and his father automatically ignored Yue Feng, and Ling Hai came first in everything.
Ling Mei naturally didn't say anything: "Brother Ling Hai helps, and I have enough manpower." โ
But Luo Zixia lost his temper about it. He thought he could be the leader of the strawberry team, but he didn't expect Ling Mei to let Ling Hai be their leader. For this reason, the tiger face was extremely unhappy.
Zichun didn't bother to pay attention to him. Do you still think that you are the eldest young master who is coaxed and spoiled by everyone at home?
Zixia found Ling Mei and raised her dissatisfaction.
Ling Mei was not annoyed, and asked with a smile: "Big cousin, do you know how to farm?" โ
Zixia choked, he hadn't been to the ground since he was a child, and after graduating from junior high school, he went directly to the porcelain factory, and he didn't even know how to breed. It is true that there is zero experience in farm work.
"Big cousin, growing strawberries is a delicate job. You'll know later that a lot of things are more cumbersome than you can imagine. At least my cousin has much more experience in the field than you, and even Zichun is better than you in farm work. โ
Zixia's face flushed.
Ling Mei, a dead girl, looks down on him!
Ling Mei smiled: "Big cousin, since you are not convinced, it is better to do this." You and my cousin both learned to grow strawberries from scratch. I divided the strawberry field into three, and the three of them took care of themselves, and whoever planted the best would be replaced as the team leader next year, and there would be a generous bonus reward. โ
Zixia still feels unfair, after all, he has no experience at all. But he was forced to go to Liangshan by Ling Mei's words, so he had to grit his teeth and agree: "It's better than it!" โ
So the three-person team divided the territory by themselves and secretly began to fight openly and secretly.
