Winemaker

Chapter 31 What You Don't Know
In this season, the fruiting has already begun, and the vines have to be pinched. The buds on the vines must be pinched, so that the vines will not grow wildly and the grapes will lack nutrients.

The manor found more than a dozen village names from nearby villages to pinch heads, and provided a meal at noon.

From Su Qingdai's point of view, the meal was very simple, with three dishes and one soup, and only one meat dish, but the villagers seemed very satisfied, the big pieces of fat meat made the corners of everyone's mouths glisten.

Su Qingdai noticed that a girl up to 15 years old was busy in and out of the kitchen following the adults. Su Qingdai thought it was the boss's child. After all, it was normal for a child of this age to be busy doing some housework.

It's just that the girl helped wash the dishes after eating, and then followed the rest of the villagers to the grape field with a small basket on her back.

Wangci and Dorje are still chatting about the local economy, from traditional animal husbandry to the recently hit tourism industry.

But Su Qingdai has no interest in participating at all, she is still thinking about that girl, patriarchal?The boss doesn't look like that kind of person either.

"Boss, just now I saw a girl in her teens went to the grape field with her, she is you..."

Wangci's voice stopped abruptly when he was chatting excitedly.

"Miss Su, you'd better not inquire about some things."

Su Qingdai was stunned, she just wanted to ask if the girl was Wangci's own child, why Wangci's reaction was bigger than thinking that she was coming to buy it.That's all, it's his private matter, so don't worry about it.

At this time, a woman with big braids came from the direction of the kitchen.

It would be biased to say that it is a woman, who is also around [-]. I just heard Duoji introduce her. She is Wangci's wife, a native of the Han nationality who was born and raised in the snowy area.

"Oh, Wangci, why are you talking to Xiao Su like that? What happened to Little Dolma is nothing unusual, so there's nothing you can't say."

It turned out that the girl's name was Zhuoma, which is a very common name for Tibetan girls.

Su Qingdai greeted the other party politely, "Sister Cheng, are you finished? Thank you."

"Come on, Xiao Su, let's go in and say that the ultraviolet rays are too strong after noon."

Su Qingdai took her water glass, nodded and stood up, "Okay."

Sitting down in the small living room next to her, what Sister Cheng said made her completely lose the mood to appreciate Tibetan weaving.

"Dolma is 14 years old and dropped out of school on the second day of the second half of last year."

"Dropping out of compulsory education? Isn't tuition and miscellaneous fees already free?" Su Qingdai didn't understand.

Sister Cheng's face was a little weird, but she still said, "Although school doesn't cost money, life does. Zhuoma had menarche last year."

What does a girl's period have to do with dropping out of school?
"Maybe you haven't heard of it, but I checked it on the Internet later, and there is really such a saying as menstrual poverty."

"Dolma can't afford sanitary napkins. The cheapest sanitary napkins in the store cost five yuan a pack, and she needs about four packs each time. Zhuoma has no money. Her father is in poor health and has been bedridden for a long time. She does odd jobs, and she has two younger brothers."

Su Qingdai was shocked. To tell the truth, if you gave her a pack of sanitary napkins for five yuan, she would think that hygiene and quality might be the problem at this price.But some people can't even afford a pack of sanitary napkins for five yuan.

He even dropped out of school because of it.

"The village where Dolma lives is in the mountains. I heard from her that the girls in her village are like this. When menarche comes, they don't go to school. They either stay at home or use self-made sanitary belts. Forced to marry."

Su Qingdai knows the imbalance of social development, and also knows that there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor, but she is so poor, if the facts are not in front of her, Su Qingdai would never believe it.

"It's embarrassing for a big man to talk about this kind of topic. We are a small place. We hired Dolma to work because we saw Dolma's pity. She is also a sensible child. Wangci is old-fashioned. It's hard to say why, and I'm afraid you will think We employ child labor."

For a while, Su Qingdai didn't know how to react. She knew that Zhuoma should study hard at this age, and should not go out to work, especially not to do heavy physical speaking.

But everyone has their own difficulties. Dolma relies on her own labor to get the corresponding compensation, so who can say that there is something wrong.

"There are too many children like this, and most of the time we are powerless." Sister Cheng sighed.

Su Qingdai was dazed, she often boasted that she was well-informed, and it turned out that there were lives and lives in this world that she had never seen before.

Sister Cheng is right, not to mention that Wangci and his wife just run a winery, even if they do charity, they can help everyone.

But, if you can't help everyone, do you just do nothing?It’s not like this. There are so many people in difficulties, and it’s only one person who can help them.

Su Qingdai also understood why Wangci said he hoped that the money would really fall into the hands of the villagers.

Su Qingdai, who initially just wanted to see the domestic wine producing areas, had a different idea.

Ideas belong to ideas, and it is actually very difficult for Su Qingdai to put them into action.

Su Qingdai has always been a person with insufficient internal drive, no matter what decision she makes, she needs an external force to push her.After chatting with Sister Cheng, Su Qingdai went down to the vineyard with their husband and wife for a tour. The grapes are more than ten years old, and the yield and quality have stabilized. Their biggest problem is brewing and transportation. .

Su Qingdai didn't eat dinner, let alone stay overnight, and asked Duoji to take her back to the state capital after coming down from the vineyard.

Probably thinking about something, she didn't feel too bumpy on the way back.

After saying goodbye to Duoji, Su Qingdai went straight back to the hotel.

First, she called her best friend Han Xingjin and learned that she had already returned to Beijing. Su Qingdai couldn't wait to hang up the phone, and bought a plane ticket back to Beijing the next day while talking.

"I've bought the ticket. I'll go back tomorrow. Do you have anything to do tomorrow night?"

Han Xingjin frowned, "If you have anything to do, just call and tell me, if you have to hurry back, you're making it difficult for me to sleep well tonight."

"Don't worry, it's not my business, no, it's too late to land tomorrow night, see you the day after tomorrow."

Maybe it's a habit, the first thing Su Qingdai thinks of is not her parents and family, but her best friend Han Xingjin.

Many times, family members will always help arrange everything in the name of "it's all for your own good", including refusing to deny what you really want to do.

Su Qingdai put down her phone and turned around in front of the camera, "I'm really fine, physically fine and mentally fine, call me the day after tomorrow when you're done working."

It is useless for Han Xingjin to worry about Su Qingdai, Su Qingdai is such an adult, and has lived alone abroad for so long, Su Qingdai can still take care of herself well.

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Su Qingdai nodded again and again, "Got it, I love you."
