The summer heat is unbearable. Rich people will have winter storage of ice to cool off, ordinary families do not have the habit of hiding ice in winter, one is no place to store, the other is also unaffordable, the best way for people to cool off in summer is to sit under the big tree in the courtyard with a fan, and the neighbors idle to kill time

Since the farm has a small lake, Silly Zhu found that the farm is a few degrees lower than the outside in summer, and there is a place to escape the heat in this summer

I took my sister to the wooden shed by the lake on the farm, with watermelons bought on the side of the road on the table, and a handful of wormwood to repel mosquitoes. Professor Qian and several people are also there, everyone is reluctant to go home so early in the summer heat, there is a canteen on the farm, and the food for a dozen people can still be cooked, no matter more

Today, Silly Zhu personally cooked and made a pot of fried noodles, and the old BJ people love this bite, just garlic, and a cucumber picked in the greenhouse, not to mention how comfortable it is this day

After eating noodles, I had a cup of crushed horn Gao Mo, sitting by the lake and looking at the gentle breeze on the lake, and several people chatted while eating watermelon

Compared with the heat of summer, Silly Zhu still prefers the cold of winter, the temperature in summer is always restless, although the winter in the north is cold, but most of the homes have kang, so the temperature in the house is not low

During this period of time, it was relatively leisurely, and Silly Zhu and Liu Lan took on a lot of private work. Now the artistic conception of the stupid pillar has improved a lot, and there is no place to show his cooking skills, so he can only improve his level through private work, of course, the stupid pillar rarely takes on big jobs, generally the kind of two or three tables, not much money but not tired

Today, Saturday, Silly Zhu and Wenren Muxue made an appointment to take her to the farm to visit her masterpiece, the farm is also a single-handed creation of Silly Zhu, from the beginning of spring in 54 to now it has been 1 and a half years, in addition to the fruit trees have not been harvested, other crops and livestock, including pigs, have harvested a lot

"Mu Xue, here"

Silly Zhu saw Mu Xue standing on the side of the road at the intersection not far from the rolling mill

Mu Xue, who heard the voice, watched Silly Zhu waving at him on the other side and trotted over

"Let's go, let's go and see what your farm has become of now, I've always heard you say I've never been there"

"Now the farm is beautiful, there is a small lake, but the fruit trees on the mountain have not yet grown, otherwise it is the time to blossom and bear fruit."

Silly Zhu took Wenren Mu Xue to visit the farm, he didn't know that Lou Bancheng also came to the farm today, and this time he was invited by a friend from Guangdong to visit the rolling mill to come and accompany him

"Zhao, I didn't find Section Chief He, the people below said that they saw him accompany a person to the mountain"

After Lou Bancheng and a few people came to the farm, Director Zhao asked people to find the stupid pillar, but he didn't think that the stupid pillar was not in the office, and he didn't see it when he went to the greenhouse, and the farmland was too big, even if he went to find it, he might not be able to find it, let alone on the mountain, but few of you on the farm were familiar with it, the farm was the home of the stupid pillar, and all matters were the responsibility of the stupid pillar

Since the expansion of the farm in 54 years, it is no longer under the jurisdiction of the logistics department, directly under the jurisdiction of Secretary Liang and Director Wang, even if a few deputy directors come here, they can't speak, although the director of the three canteens who is also the director of the stupid pillar belongs to the logistics department, but now the rolling mill has been recognized as the section chief He no longer manages the three canteens.

"In this case, we can't accompany Section Chief He when we visit the farmland, so let's go find Director Ma in the farm canteen and ask her to come over to introduce the farm to us, and wait for Director He to come back on the mountain." Director Zhou, Lou Dong, do you think this is okay?"

Director Zhao asked Lou Bancheng for their opinions

"Today's visit to the farm was originally a temporary idea, and it is understandable that Section Chief He of the farm does not know, so do it according to Director Zhao's wishes, and the guest is as you please."

The bald middle-aged man looked at Director Zhao with a smile

Today, Director Zhao was also temporarily arrested to accompany this group of guests from Guangdong, at first he was reluctant to come to the farm, and he had to accompany these people to visit the farmland and even go up the mountain on a hot day

Ma Feiyan and Director Zhao of the Logistics Department are quite familiar, although his direct boss is He Yuzhu, but after all, the farm canteen is also a canteen system, and daily supplies still need to be connected with the Supply Department of the Logistics Department, and contact cannot be avoided

"Zhao, I'm sorry, I'm late for some things in the canteen"

"It's okay, the time is just right, then let's go, maybe we can meet Section Chief He on the road"

The two of them on He Yuzhu's side had already come to the halfway point of the mountain, watching dozens of people busy in the fruit forest

"Doesn't it take years for fruit trees to blossom and bear fruit, what are you doing with these people on the mountain?"

Wen Ren Mu Xue looked at the dozens of people on the mountain and asked curiously

"The fruit trees are still in their infancy, they can't be cut off from water, they need to be watered frequently, and these chickens raised in the mountains are also taken care of by these people, don't underestimate them, there is a lot of work every day, and there were more people in the past. Isn't this the newly planted farmland at the foot of the mountain, and more than half of the people have been transferred from the mountain to help."

The two walked on the mountain path, and the mountain on the farm was not very high, tens of meters high. The rolling mill is located outside the city of Sijiu City, the farm is located in the north of the rolling mill and then to the north is the mountainous area, the stupid Zhujia Tongluo Lane is in the west of the rolling mill, and it is only 20 minutes away from walking, the current Sijiu City is not as big as after development, and the outside of the city is either a mountainous area or a rural area

The rolling mill is close to the altar of the earth, in ancient times, this neighborhood was the place where the emperor sacrificed, this place used to have a lot of wild beasts, in recent years, there are more people active, and slowly there is no trace of wild monsters

The two came to the top of the mountain, and the stupid pillar pulled Wenren Muxue to look at the entire farm, which was still very large, although it was not as large as the area of the rolling mill

"You see, here's what the rolling mill farm looks like, and in a few years the fruit trees on this mountain will be even better, not now, it's bare."

The stupid pillar pointed to the sweet potato fields below, the green ones were particularly obvious, and there were dozens of greenhouses in the distance, and the entire farm surrounded the small lake. This farm brings together all the hard work of Silly Zhu, he doesn't want to expand the scale now, Silly Zhu also knows that he will not belong to himself in expanding the farm, someone will definitely come to pick peaches, now the scale is decent, some people don't look down on it, and it may not be necessary to wait for a little bigger

"Aren't you going to expand a little, I feel that your farm is still a little small, and no matter how big it is, you can do more", Wen Ren Mu Xue looked at the stupid pillar innocently

"It can't be bigger, no matter how big the farm is, it's time to change people, since ancient times, the winners with the greatest benefits are all upper-class people, and I am very satisfied with the current scale, I can manage it, and I am not tired" Silly Zhu lit a cigarette and said slowly

After all, Muxue was born in that kind of family, and when she heard Silly Zhu say this, she immediately understood the way in the middle, Silly Zhu is a poor boy with no background, and he is destined to not go far without a background in officialdom, and the practical benefits you do are all led

"What have you planted on this mountain, how can I see several of them?"

"Apples, pears, plums, peaches and others are gone, originally I wanted to plant one, but Professor Zhou said that a variety of several can increase the survival rate of trees, last winter I wanted to plant a few cherry trees, but I couldn't find seedlings, and the growth period of hawthorn trees is too long, not suitable for planting in a place like a rolling mill", Silly Zhu explained to Mu Xue while pulling her to explain to her how to distinguish fruit trees

"The pear blossoms are the most beautiful, they should bloom next year, and when the time comes, I will take you to see the pear blossoms, the peach blossoms are also beautiful, remember to remind me to bring a camera and take a few pictures for you when I come over next year." You see these big peach trees, moved from other places, it is said that they have lived for decades, only these trees on this hill are not seedlings, there are a few wild ginkgo trees in the easternmost part, the original plan was to cut down, and then I stopped it, ginkgo fruit is a good thing"

The two of them walked among the mountains, and there was no laughter from Mu Xue and the shouts of stupid pillars

The two walked on the mountain for a while, and Silly Zhu proposed to go down the mountain and take her to taste the cauldron of the cafeteria

When I walked to the foot of the mountain, near the chicken coop, I saw Ma Feiyan and Director Zhao and their party

"Zhao, why are you here?"

Silly Zhu walked over to a few people

"Section Chief He, isn't this a few guests from the south, who want to visit our farm, and Secretary Liang asked me to accompany me"

Silly Zhu looked at the few people behind Director Zhao, and in addition to Ma Feiyan, he knew Lou Bancheng

"Lou Dong, you are also here, welcome welcome"

The rest of the people should be people from the south, and they look different from their own side

"When I went to the farm just now, Director Zhao asked someone to look for you, but he said that you accompanied someone up the mountain, who is this?"

Lou Bancheng looked at Wen Ren Mu Xue next to the stupid pillar, and saw that he was not very old, but he was a little familiar

"This is my friend, let her come over today to see if the fruit tree can give some advice"

Silly Zhu definitely can't say that he brought Wen Ren Mu Xue to hang out on the mountain, although there will be nothing to do, but no one looks good when he says it

A few people didn't ask when they saw this, this is people's privacy, looking at the appearance between the two, it is estimated that they are in love, young people who don't have an impulse

"Section Chief He, since you are here, give us a brief introduction to the basic situation of the farmland, Director Ma is a canteen after all, and she doesn't know some things."

Director Zhao suggested that Silly Zhu explain to these guests, and Silly Zhu nodded

"The sweet potato field in front of us covers an area of about 300 acres, and last year produced 450,000 catties of sweet potatoes in one season, but unfortunately the weather in our north does not allow two seasons to be planted, otherwise it can definitely harvest 800,000 catties a year. After the autumn harvest, wheat will be planted on the field, and sweet potatoes will be planted in May this year after the wheat harvest is completed."

Silly Zhu said as he led a few people towards the small lake

"You see, this land was just reclaimed at the beginning of spring this year, and these spring corn will be harvested immediately, but last year there were several snows in a row, and this year's harvest is good."

The stupid pillar tore open a piece of corn to show everyone, only to see that the corn was already in shape, and the harvest time should be soon

Silly Zhu led a few people to the small lake, where there were already workers feeding the ducks and some people salvaging aquatic plants

"This lake was dug in the spring of this year, and the water from the river at the entrance of the rolling mill was drawn, and there were chickens, ducks and geese on the mountain, and the lake water could also be used to raise ducks and irrigation."

When they came to the wooden shed by the lake, Silly Zhu proposed that everyone take a break and drink a cup of tea, and the workers in the shed would prepare hot water and teacups every day, and this place was also a temporary resting place for everyone

Lou Bancheng looked at the scale of the farm in front of him, and then looked at the hill not far away. Although he had never been to the mountains, looking at the scale of the ducks in front of him, the scale of the chickens on the mountains would not be small

I can't help but feel a little emotional, it's really a trick, the former owner of the rolling mill has long been down, and the boy who came to ask for work just to eat in the past was able to create the scale in front of him single-handedly

After everyone rested for a while, Silly Zhu looked at the time at 11 o'clock, and proposed that everyone go to the cafeteria to eat first, but Director Zhao refused

"The factory has arranged a reception meal, so I won't eat it on the farm, Section Chief He, you should be busy first, let's go back to the factory, the car is already waiting over there"

After waiting for them to leave, Silly Zhu looked at Ma Feiyan

"When did these people come, why didn't they get a notice today that someone came to visit the farm?"

"Section Chief, I don't know, I was busy in the cafeteria in the morning, and Director Zhao's secretary suddenly ran in and pulled me and said that I wanted me to introduce them to the farm."

Silly Zhu looked at the few people in the distance and fell into deep thought, would there be any problem with these people coming uninvited

But it's useless to think so much now, I'm trying to figure out a way if something goes wrong

"Let's go, let's go back to the cafeteria and prepare for dinner, Director Ma, what are the dishes in the cafeteria today?"

The three of them laughed and walked towards the cafeteria

Ma Feiyan and Sun Qianqian of the Security Department have been married for almost a year, and the two have not had children this year, Silly Zhu himself is quite familiar with Liu Hongmei, Liu Hongmei is completely different from the mother-in-law of this era, and he did not urge the two to have children quickly

"How's your husband's job now?"

In the cafeteria, Silly Zhu gave himself and Wenren Muxue 2 meals, and the three of them sat together and chatted while eating

"What else, at the beginning of this year I was promoted by another level, and now it is level 22"

"You little couple add up to more than 100 a month without subsidies, there are several families like you, I remember if your father-in-law still has a daughter"

Silly Zhu remembered that he hadn't seen Sun Xiangqian when he went to Sun's house two years ago, but he had seen his sister, who was about the same age as himself

"I got married at the beginning of this year, and my sister-in-law is working in the supply and marketing cooperative, and now the object is a leader of an automobile factory outside the city, surnamed Wang."

Wen Ren Mu Xue heard this, surnamed Wang, the subject drove the leader in the automobile factory, isn't this the brother of his classmate Wang Qian

Silly Zhu also remembered who the surname Wang was, turned his head and asked Mu Xue with a smile

"This is not the first time I have met your classmate, I seem to have heard you say that her brother drove for the leader of the automobile factory"

"Section chief, you still know my sister-in-law's family?"

"It's fate, when I was in the third canteen 2 years ago, I once took a private job to celebrate the birthday of their old man, and I thanked their family for it."

Wen Ren Mu Xue looked at the stupid pillar and smiled shyly, blushing for a while, and reached out to pinch the soft flesh on his waist

"And that's a coincidence."

"Hey! I've been talking about what people are doing, how is your brother doing in the cafeteria now?"

"My brother is now learning to cook with Chef Yang"

Master Yang was transferred from the three canteens at the end of last year, and a chef surnamed Bai came to the 3 canteens last year, which is also a family heirloom, and now the hospitality meal of the rolling mill is still in charge of the 3 canteens.

"Master Yang's skills are still good, let him study hard, and he will rely on this for the exam after becoming a regular."

"Don't you go to the third canteen now, I remember that you are also the canteen director of the third canteen?"

Wen Ren, Mu Xue took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth after eating, and looked at the stupid pillar

"Go less, go once a week, the three canteens are all old employees, you don't have to tell what you should do, after all, the farm has only been established for a year, there are a lot of newcomers, you don't look at it and maybe you will make some trouble"
