Chapter 272: I Feel Like a Waste
When the farm ushered in the annual harvest season again, watching the scene of hundreds of people harvesting rice, Liu Shengwen, who helped transport grain, also felt that this scene was spectacular. And Liu Shanjiang's deer herd profession, the more he does it, the more he feels adaptable.
Especially when he saw that under his own care, when those docile doe gave birth to fawns, Liu Shanjiang also felt a sense of accomplishment. My favorite thing to do every day is to play with the newborn fawns and take care of the newborn doe.
When Xu Siwen came to the farm again, he saw Liu Shengwen carrying bags and dumping rice in the drying field, and Liu Shanjiang cleaning up deer in the deer house, his expression was extremely incredible. He believed that those people in the capital would find it unbelievable when they saw it.
Looking at Mu Shanhe beside him, he was very curious: "Old Mu, how did you do it?" β
"What and how?"
"How did you make Liu father and son so obedient? How do I feel, they are like a different person. β
"In the past, they didn't know the fireworks of the world, let alone the sufferings of the world. Is there anything wrong with letting them experience it? β
"That's right, the question is how could they stay willingly?"
"Then you go and ask them, how do I know about such a thing?"
Mu Shanhe, who didn't plan to tell the truth, although he saw the changes in the father and son, he still didn't finish the assessment. In his opinion, since the father and son want to change, let them be on the farm, truly complete the transformation and then leave.
Anyway, the father and son are now in the capital, and they are not treated well by others. It's better to stay on the farm and have more contact with these simple people. Here on the farm, no one knows who the father and son are, only that they are temporary workers on the farm.
One is Lao Liu, a handyman who is a little weak in body but works hard for others, and the other is a lame deer who doesn't like to talk and has a somewhat arrogant personality. Many people think that they can stay on the farm because Mu Shanhe takes pity on them.
Regarding the speculation of the nearby people, although Liu Shengwen couldn't laugh or cry, he also nodded in agreement: "Yes! Thanks to the rancher's benevolence, he is willing to give our father and son a job. Otherwise, our father and son life will be a problem! β
The nephew Mu Shanhe is kind and charitable, which is nothing new in Xianqiao. In Liu Shengwen's view, Mu Shanhe will form this style and personality, which has a lot to do with the father-in-law who raised him alone.
It's no wonder that Mu Shanhe chose to follow his mother's surname in the end, and gave up his father's surname, which seemed to be very glamorous!
As farms enter the harvest season, this also means that this year's border trade is about to begin. Fortunately, the commercial channels have basically been perfected. What Xu Siwen has to do now is to arrange for materials to be shipped from all over the country one after another, in addition to allocating funds.
By the time the farm harvested rice, the surplus was used for export, except for the self-keeping, and the watermelons had already been sold out. And the next farm, the most important thing, is also the greenhouse picking and sales.
In view of this, after thinking about it, Mu Shanhe called Liu Shengwen and said, "During this time, are you still adapting?" β
"Adapt! Although I am a little tired, I feel happy. Especially seeing Xiao Jiang's changes, no matter how tired it is, it's worth it! β
"Then you think he's really changed now?"
Facing Mu Shanhe's inquiry, Liu Shengwen thought for a while and said, "Let's wait!" After coming to the farm and going through so many things, I realized that this child was indeed naΓ―ve, as you said. It's okay to be an ordinary person, but he can't really do anything else. β
"If I'm not mistaken, you used to work in the department in charge of agriculture. You should know something about the vegetable basket project proposed above, right? Can you tell me about your original intention and expectations for setting up this project? β
Although he didn't understand why Mu Shanhe asked himself this, Liu Shengwen also knew that this should be a test. After pondering for a while, he had a frank exchange of opinions with Mu Shanhe about some of the information he knew.
After listening, Mu Shanhe didn't say right or wrong, but said very directly: "The busy farming season is over, and the north has begun to prepare for winter." You have been involved in the cultivation and management of greenhouses before, so you should know that greenhouses grow out-of-season vegetables.
Next, I'm going to the border city to take charge of this year's border trade trade, and the farm side will only come back occasionally. I think that at your current age, if you really retire, you seem to be a little idle, so you will be given a job, are you willing to try? β
"What kind of work?"
"I am in charge of harvesting and selling this year's out-of-season vegetables! Lao Zhao: Although they have been with me for a long time, they are not good at dealing with people, and they actually don't have much experience in business.
The vegetables grown on the farm this year will definitely be sold in the larger farmers' markets in the provincial capital and sold in small quantities to the city. Most of the out-of-season vegetables in the city are sold at the family supermarket I founded.
If you are willing to give it a try, then this year's vegetable sales will be handed over to you, and I will let Lao Zhao and them assist you. Although you're retired, you should still be able to connect with some people on the ground in Bac Giang, right? β
"You're putting me in charge of this? You're not afraid I'll mess things up? β
"Don't be afraid! If you don't do this well, I'll lose money for a year at most. But for you, you may really have to go back to the capital in the future and live a retirement life with the old man in advance. If you can do it well, it can also make many people change their opinion of you. β
Such straightforward words made Liu Shengwen feel helpless, and thought for a while: "Okay, I'll try this, what about Xiaojiang?" β
"If he says, he will still be in charge of the deer house for the time being! To be honest, his personality is a bit irritating, and I really don't see any good in him. Change his personality first, and it's not too late to talk about other things slowly. β
It is not difficult to hear from these words that Mu Shanhe is also thinking about Liu Shanjiang's future. It's a pity that the son seems to have some straw bales. really let him be in charge of a certain job, Liu Shengwen is also very worried, his son can't take care of it at all!
It's no wonder that many people in the capital used to laugh at him, raising a son to raise a treasure, but it's a pity that it's a living treasure!
After Liu Shengwen returned to his residence and communicated with his son about the next things he was responsible for, Liu Shanjiang didn't feel anything bad, and even said directly: "Dad, then your salary in the future will be higher than now, right?" β
"Hmmm! Manager Zhao informed me that I could become a regular. In the future, you can enjoy the treatment of regular workers and farm benefits. Xiao Jiang, have you thought about what you want to do in the future? You can't go back to Beijing and stay at home every day, right? β
The sudden inquiry made Liu Shanjiang silent for a long time before he said helplessly and frustratedly: "Dad, I don't know what to do?" I never thought about it before, but now that I think about it, I think I'm really a bit of a waste. β
"Xiao Jiang, you are still young, if you want to change, everything will come in time. At the end of the day, you're still experiencing less. Take advantage of this time to think about what you like, or what you're good at, and we'll talk about it then. β
"Okay, Dad, I'll think about it!"
I'm not afraid of others saying that I'm a waste, I'm most afraid that I'm a waste. Experiencing this taste of self-denial, Liu Shanjiang also felt very devastated. Fortunately, his father always has expectations for him, so he can't be decadent, he has to work hard!
