45. Big job
The road was full of potholes, Dai Xuemei sat in the back seat and was at a loss, she was afraid that Xiao Zhengping would turn her upside down, but she didn't dare to hold Xiao Zhengping.
In the end, she could only use her hands to hold on to the steel bar in the back seat, and then use her feet to control the balance of her body.
finally managed to get home, and when she got out of the car, Dai Xuemei only felt soreness all over her body, and both hands were numb - she didn't expect to come back by car, and she was more tired than walking back with a basket!
"Brother, thank you, can you come in and sit down for a while?" After getting out of the car, Dai Xuemei pointed to the tattered courtyard gate of her house and said.
Xiao Zhengping wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he couldn't refuse, otherwise Dai Xuemei would think that she was thinking that their family was broken.
After entering the house, Xiao Zhengping smelled a very complex smell, including the fragrance of beans and the smell of rotting wood, and it was difficult for him to distinguish whether the smell was good or bad.
Dai Xuemei poured a glass of water for Xiao Zhengping in a panic, and at this moment, the dirty Dai Dumb came back from the mountain.
It can be seen that Dai Dumb is very happy, moving chairs and cooking for Zhang Luo, Dai Xuemei is talking while gesturing how she sold tofu to Xiao Zhengping's house, and how Xiao Zhengping sent herself back by bicycle.
Xiao Zhengping finished drinking tea, chatted with Dai Dumb and some of them, and then said goodbye and went home.
Before leaving, Dai Xuemei looked a little lost and was looked at by Xiao Zhengping.
"Xuemei, I often go to sit at home in the future." Xiao Zhengping threw down this sentence and pedaled his bicycle away.
......
The next day, Xiao Zhengwen was in the house.
Xiao Zhengping took out a few books from his schoolbag and put them on Xiao Zhengwen's bed, which he bought with Ye Er at Xinhua Bookstore yesterday.
"Sister-in-law, brother, this is the big thing I want you two to do."
Xiao Zhengwen didn't know why, so he picked up the books and looked at the covers one by one, and found that several books were about how to grow fungi. After Xiao Zhengwen finished reading, he handed the book to Jia Hongyue beside him, and after Jia Hongyue finished reading, the two of them looked at Xiao Zhengping at the same time.
"Pingzi, are you going to grow your own fungus?" Xiao Zhengwen asked.
Xiao Zhengping nodded, "That's right!" When Boss Xia told me that wild mushrooms would grow again after picking them once, I was thinking about it. I was going to tell you two about renting a barn, but now that I can't rent a barn, I have nothing else to do, so let's just study it together. ”
"Then your books are oyster mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms, and hazel mushrooms or something, which one do you want to grow?" Sister-in-law Jia Hongyue asked with embarrassment in front of a few books.
"Hey, I don't want to grow any of these fungi, I was looking for some books to grow sheep and finches or bamboo girls, but there are no books in the bookstore. I guess that no one has cultivated these rare mushrooms artificially yet, and I don't have any experience that can be directly used for reference, so I just found a few books and came back. Let's take a look at how these fungi are grown, and then explore while experimenting. ”
"I said Pingzi, you really want to make a play, and your sister-in-law and I have graduated from junior high school, so you dare to send such a big job? What if this doesn't come out? ”
Xiao Zhengping smiled, "Brother, it's up to people!" Besides, isn't there still me? When the time comes, I will ask Deputy Director Yang again to see if he can help us find some information, I believe that as long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to grow it. ”
Xiao Zhengwen said in his heart that your kid didn't even graduate from junior high school, so it's not as good as me! But after thinking about it again, Deputy Director Yang mentioned by Pingzi was a way, so he settled down.
"Okay, if you say we'll do it, I'll lie down and lie down, don't say this job is quite suitable for me."
"Well, brother, let's take turns to read these books first, and then we will be busy collecting fungi, and you and your sister-in-law will have to do this, and I will help at most." I think so, let the second uncle make you a car, don't I still have two cows there, lead one over and pull the cart for you, you go to the school and Dr. Xu's more walk, they are all intellectuals, maybe they can help you. ”
......
Walking out of the second uncle's house, Xiao Zhengping went to the eldest uncle's house again.
Last night, he told the second uncle about not renting the barn, and now the whole family doesn't know.
The first kang cigarette of the uncle's house has been baked, and the uncle and aunt and the second aunt are nervously sorting the tobacco leaves at this time, and Jia Hongyue, who came with her, hurriedly joined in when she saw this.
"Uncle," Xiao Zhengping sat down next to Xiao Kunguo, he didn't know how to sort tobacco leaves, and now he had no work to do, "I went to the county yesterday." ”
Xiao Kunguo turned his head to look at Xiao Zhengping, and the movements in his hands did not stop, "Well, what's the matter?" Can you do it? ”
Xiao Zhengping shook his head, "Deputy Director Yang disapproves, saying that it's better not to do it now, let me push it back." ”
Xiao Kunguo paused after listening, "It's okay, it's also worry-free." Pingzi, don't worry, you have to eat one bite at a time, besides, collecting mushrooms and bamboo shoots is not enough for you to be busy! ”
Xiao Zhengping sighed helplessly, "Yes." Oh, by the way, uncle, I bought a few books yesterday and came back, thinking of trying them with my brother to see if I could grow sheep finches or bamboo ginseng. ”
As soon as Xiao Kunguo heard that Xiao Zhengping was going to farm, a smile immediately appeared on his face, "Good thing! Well, that's a good thing! We are farmers, and farming is our business, and I raise my hands in favor of this. ”
The second aunt on the side asked at this time: "Dare to love you let your brother and your sister-in-law do big things?" ”
"Hehe, second aunt, don't underestimate this matter. Yesterday I looked for a long time with Ye'er, and I couldn't find a book on planting sheep and bamboo ginseng in the entire Xinhua bookstore, I guess no one has planted this thing yet, if we plant it first, experience alone will be worth a lot of money. ”
The second aunt naturally didn't understand this, and thought that no matter what happened, at least she could make her soon-to-be-abolished son have something to do, so she didn't say anything.
At this time, the aunt sitting on the ground deliberately coughed twice, and when Xiao Kunguo heard it, he immediately continued: "Oh, yes, the Dai family girl is good, I can see it with your second uncle, if you agree, I will go to Dai Dumb to talk about it, and settle this matter as soon as possible." Hey, you're not too young, and after you finish this matter, your second uncle and I will be worthy of your father. ”
Xiao Zhengping didn't expect the uncle to bring up this matter at this time, but in front of the whole family, he was a little annoyed and angry when he watched the second aunt and sister-in-law turn their backs and cover their mouths and snicker.
"Uncle, what are you talking about! I haven't even skimmed the eight characters yet, what are you going to say! Xiao Zhengping gritted his teeth and asked softly.
Xiao Kunguo still picked up the tobacco leaves on the ground, turned his head and glanced at Xiao Zhengping, and said with a smile: "Hey, you kid is still shy, why didn't you see it before?" ”
"Who's shy? Heck, I'm going to sell cigarettes soon, and I'll have to be busy collecting mushrooms, so I'll talk about it after a while. ”
