When he got home, Zhang Yaohua saw his brother and his wife busy in the vegetable garden next to the house, and the old mother was muttering on the side, looking a little unhappy.

"Plant what? Still want to build a rack? Zhang Yaohua asked.

Racking is generally about planting beans and melons, but this season, it doesn't seem to be very suitable, right?

"Your brother! What a crazy line, what grapes to plant. "Mom found someone to talk to.

Grape?

Zhang Yaohua was stunned.

"Was it planted at this time?" He really didn't understand.

I didn't object to planting grapes, and I felt that planting two grapes was also good and pleasant. Especially during the grape harvest season, there are grapes hanging in the yard, which is pleasing to the eye.

When I was young, I envied a fellow student who had.

Mom must be complaining that this kid has occupied her vegetable garden, and she is not happy, which is normal.

For these adults, the vegetable garden should be planted with vegetables, and it is not proper to plant anything else.

However, even if you are planting grapes, it is a little early to set up a shelf, right?

The second brother explained: "I have asked people, and some people say that autumn and winter planting is better than spring. This grape seedling was brought by Ah Jiu, and I asked him to pay attention to it last year and help get two good varieties of grapes. ”

Zhang Yaohua: "Ah Jiu is here?" ”

Ah Zhen nodded: "Ah Mei is also here, I just brought something to visit Ah Gong at my uncle's house." ”

"Have you finished cutting their sugarcane?"

Zhang Yaohua was very surprised, and only said a few days ago that he would start cutting.

"Ask someone to help this year, it must be soon!" The old mother said.

Zhang Yaohua continued: "In a few days, we will also fence off the open space behind us as a vegetable garden. ”

Planting grapes occupies a space, so naturally you have to give an explanation to the old mother, and expand the vegetable garden!

Zhang Yaowei also nodded hurriedly: "Hmm!" Good. ”

This time, my mother finally had nothing to say.

When I got back inside, I saw a bundle of sugar cane. Don't guess, it must have been brought by my brother-in-law Ah Jiu. Zhang Yaohua was not polite, took out one, and cut a section with a knife.

Seeing that her son was about to hand it over, Zhang's mother shook her head: "You eat it yourself, I don't eat it." I don't know what's delicious, be careful of foaming at the mouth. ”

Mom doesn't want it, Zhang Yaohua eats it by himself, eats sugarcane without peeling, and bites it with his mouth is the most authentic. You don't have to worry about any image, it's refreshing to eat.

In the outer city, the boss not only peels you, but also cuts you into small sections, small sections, and the sugar cane section in the middle has to be removed. In short, the service is done at home.

In the South, selling something is selling a service.

Put it in the north, buy two potatoes and ask the boss to help you peel them? People want to cut you. It is said that in some places in the north, potatoes are bought and carried one by one.

Southerners were stunned for a moment, thinking how long would they have to eat?

In fact, the main thing is that it is cheap, and people don't have much money for a big bag, and the price is so low that middlemen cry when they see it.

Besides, people bought it for the winter, so they must buy more at one time.

Zhang Yaohua knows that the reason why my mother doesn't like to eat sugarcane is that she is prone to blood blisters in her mouth, and she will eat it every time, and she doesn't know what the reason is.

"Mom, where's my dad?"

"When you're full, take Xuanxuan out, who knows where to go?"

My mother was a little dissatisfied, since the eldest son came back, Lao Zhang seemed to have entered a retirement life and no longer made money.

When my little sister went back to her parents' house, in addition to sugarcane, she also brought a lot of things, such as cinnamon, monk fruit, snail powder, etc., and the most excessive is chili sauce, who eats it at home? I'm afraid it's not for myself, right?

Afraid that you won't get used to eating at your parents' house?

When Zhang Yaohua finished eating a section of sugarcane, his father came back with Ah Jiu.

"Big brother! (Brother)"

Ah Jiu and his wife greeted each other.

I haven't seen you in a long time.

"Jin Sheng, call uncle." The little sister guided her two-year-old son to call someone.

The little guy let his father hold him, and he didn't even give his grandfather and grandmother a hug.

"Uncle." Jin Sheng was in his father's arms, secretly looking at the stranger's uncle with his little eyes.

Zhang Yaohua couldn't cry or laugh: "Are you deducting his food?" Skinny like this? ”

When Xuanxuan was so old, she was a lot fatter and much whiter.

Could it really be the genes that are at work? Ah Jiu is a thin body type, and the child is like this? Zhang Yaohua has never seen his brother-in-law fat, but he is thin and thin, his strength is not small, and he works very hard.

The little sister shouted injustice: "He has eaten everything that should be eaten, what can I do?" ”

Zhang Yaohua took out a small toy from the room, and immediately narrowed the distance between him and his nephew, and he no longer recognized his life. To deal with these little guys, Zhang Yaohua has his own set of methods.

To put it bluntly, it is difficult for children to resist food and play.

"Big brother, the matter of buying a fishing boat ......"

Ah Jiu came this time with almost all of his wealth. They also knew that the eldest brother went to sea to make a fortune during this time.

If it were someone else, they wouldn't have the courage to come up with all the money.

But out of trust in the eldest brother, I felt that I wouldn't cheat them, so I gambled.

"Don't worry, call Ah Hui and them over tonight to discuss together, and draw up a profit sharing." Zhang Yaohua told him.

Xiaomei asked directly: "Brother, Ah Jiu and I only have more than 60,000, how much can we occupy?" ”

"Sixty thousand is a little less, I'll help you out first, let you account for about one and a half!"

In fact, Zhang Yaohua had a plan. He himself wants forty percent, or even half. Ah Hui and Shui Wang each account for one percent, and the rest is divided between the second brother and the younger sister.

"Brother Xie."

The two couples understood that it was the money that the eldest brother had temporarily lent them to buy shares, but they were also very grateful.

"My family, what are you talking about?"

Subsequently, Xiaomei talked about her sugarcane harvest this year, how much less she earned than last year, and so on.

"It's okay for us to grow sugarcane, at least not at a loss. There are people in the village who grow dragon fruit, and they can't cry at all. This year's dragon fruit is too cheap. Xiaomei said.

Some people directly pick it up and sell it on the streets of the town, and they can't sell it for 10 yuan or 20, only five cents each.

"Wouldn't it be better to grow sugar oranges?"

Ah Jiu shook his head: "If our village can't plant it, it will get huanglongbing." Someone has planted it before, and in the end it can only be cut down in pieces. ”

He had heard that the fungus caused the huanglongbing, and that the leaves of citrus fruits with this disease would turn yellow, and eventually even the whole tree would wither.

The most troublesome thing is that this disease seems to be contagious, and it is as difficult to deal with as a plague.

Besides, in the past two or three years, sugar oranges are not worth much!

It costs four or five yuan a pound to buy outside, but in their production area, you may have to pick and choose for a pound. There are many kinds of sugar oranges that cannot recover their costs, so some fruit farmers call them killer oranges.

Xiaomei said helplessly: "Now as long as there is one thing to make money, everyone will rush to do it, and in the end, everyone will not make money." ”

It's all too common to follow the trend of planting.

There are also people who want to plant eucalyptus, but some people in the village disagree, saying that planting eucalyptus trees pollutes the water source and so on.
