Chapter 286 Harvesting Bracken

The materials for establishing a cooperative have been submitted for approval and the process is in progress.

Shen Qiuqiu was not idle either. She chose a good day with clear weather and started to collect dried bracken from the villagers.

As soon as it dawned in the morning, the loudspeaker in the village rang;

"Hey, hey, hey, villagers, pay attention, villagers, pay attention, Qinghe Agricultural Fresh Company - that is, Shen Lao'er's house, has started harvesting dried bracken today, it costs 18 yuan per catty, 18 yuan per catty , If you want to sell it, hurry up.”

The loudspeaker sounded three times in a row, and everyone in the village was excited.

A few days ago, every household in the village went to the mountains to pick bracken with all their strength, and almost everyone went out;

It is no exaggeration to say that the villagers of Qinghe Village have harvested almost all the bracken within a ten-mile radius.

After the mountains in their own village had finished picking, they went to neighboring villages to pick;

After a month, I have gained a lot;

Just waiting to exchange money today.

Just after eight o'clock, the front door of Shen Qiuqiu's house was bustling with people;

Some of the villagers were carrying sacks, some were carrying baskets, and some were pushing carts... There was a long queue in front of Shen Qiuqiu's house.

Zhao Fang took Lin Lei and Liu Xing'an to inspect and receive goods, Chen Yueyi kept accounts and settled accounts, and Shen Qiuqiu distributed money.

"Wang Wei's boss, two hundred and sixty-seven pounds."

"Lin Hongxi's family weighs one hundred and sixty-three pounds."

"Tong Qiaohui's house, one hundred and ninety-four pounds."

"Luo Weicheng's family, one hundred and thirty-six pounds."

"Yang Dajin's home, two hundred and nineteen pounds."

"Chen Jing's family, two hundred and forty-one pounds."

During this period, Chen Jing got up early and went up the mountain every day to pick a lot of bracken, drying out a total of 241 kilograms of dried bracken.

Chen Yueyi clicked on the calculator and quickly calculated the price, "Chen Jing, two hundred and forty-one pounds, four thousand three hundred and thirty-eight yuan."

Shen Qiuqiu handed the money to Chen Jing and told her to keep it.

This more than 4,000 yuan is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for Chen Jing. This is the first time she has seen so much money at this age;

"Thank you, Sister Xiaohua." Chen Jing bent down and gave Shen Qiuqiu a deep ninety-degree bow.

"No need to thank me, you earned this money with your own hard work."

Looking at the little girl's tender face, Shen Qiuqiu couldn't help but give some advice;

"I heard from people in the village that you had very good grades when you were studying, but unfortunately you dropped out of school before finishing junior high school. You are only fifteen years old. If you have the conditions, you should continue to go back to school. Studying may not be the only way out, but It allows you to make different choices in your future life, stand taller and see further.”

Chen Jing opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed the words as they reached her lips, and finally fell silent, saying nothing.

When she was in school, she really liked learning and reading; but now, her mind is no longer on studying;

Now, all she wants to do is make money, make a lot of money, so that her grandma can live a good life and no longer suffer from poverty.

Facing Shen Qiuqiu's earnest persuasion, she was really embarrassed to express her little thoughts to her mouth.

Shen Qiuqiu thought for a while and asked Lu Yuqing to go to her room and get some books from the desk drawer;

Lu Yao's trilogy of Ordinary World - "The Ordinary World", "Song of the Ordinary World" and "The Sorrow of the Ordinary World". Shen Qiuqiu handed these books to Chen Jing, "This is my favorite book. I give it to you. You can read it when you have time. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

Chen Jing subconsciously reached out to pick it up. Seeing that there was some dirt on her palm, she quickly retracted her hand and wiped it hard on herself, and then carefully took the book from Shen Qiuqiu's hand.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaohua, I will take a good look at it."

Chen Jing took off her coat, packed her schoolbag, put it in the backpack on her back, and pushed the trolley slowly home with her grandma.

Looking at Chen Jing's retreating figure, Chen Yueyi couldn't help but ask, "Are there many children like this in the village?"

"Well, quite a few." Shen Qiuqiu explained: "Most of the village is made up of left-behind children and left-behind elderly people. Young people who have some labor force have gone out to work and only go home for a few days every year during the New Year. Chen Jing's situation is a bit special. Only her grandmother and she depend on each other.”

Chen Yueyi let out a long sigh. She originally thought she was very unfortunate, but she didn't expect that there was someone even more unfortunate than herself, and she was just a child...

At this moment, Chen Yueyi suddenly realized that compared with those who were more unfortunate, she was very lucky;

It turns out that happiness and misfortune are just a matter of thought.

Lu Yuqing couldn't help but sigh, "When I was in junior high school, my parents were always busy with work and only gave me money to spend and didn't care much about me. I was rebellious for a while at that time and felt that I was very unhappy. My parents They didn’t even love me, and then they skipped class every day to play games in Internet cafes, and even got into trouble and almost got expelled from school... Thinking about it now, I really don’t know how lucky I am despite all my blessings.”

Shen Qiuqiu was also deeply touched, "Many times, happiness comes from comparison."

On this day, Shen Qiuqiu and the others were busy almost from morning to night;

Until around six o'clock in the evening, villagers continued to come to sell dried bracken.

In addition to the villagers from this village, there are also many people from other villages;

Shen Qiuqiu also treated everyone equally and accepted all the dried bracken as long as it was of good quality.

According to Chen Yueyi's statistics, a total of 8799 kilograms of dried bracken were collected on this day, totaling 158382 yuan.

Hearing this number, Grandma Shen couldn't help but exclaimed, "God, with so much, can we sell them all?"

Shen Qiuqiu was not worried at all, "It will definitely be sold out. I'm still worried that there won't be enough to sell."

Maitian Mall has a lot of traffic. If one person buys five kilograms, more than a thousand people can buy it.

"As long as it can be sold out, otherwise it will be a waste of good stuff."

Grandma Shen felt relieved and said, "The world is getting better and better now. Wild vegetables can be exchanged for money. Wang Weidong's wife picked a lot this time and sold them for more than 5,000 yuan. He and his wife are very happy." I can’t even close my mouth.”

Shen Xiu interrupted: "There is also Yang Dajin's house, which was sold for nearly 4,000 yuan. I heard that Yang Dajin's father was ill a while ago, and he was too afraid to go to the hospital. This time it is good, he has money to see a doctor."

Grandpa Shen was also very happy today. When eating in the evening, he ate half a bowl of rice and drank half a glass of white wine;

The old man smiled and said, "Today our village is more lively than the Chinese New Year. Seeing everyone making money makes me feel comfortable. I am happier than making money myself."

At this moment, he finally understood the significance of his granddaughter returning to the village to farm;

Staying in your hometown and leading the villagers to get rich is not just talk.

"Xiaohua, many people told me today that I raised a good granddaughter; everyone praised you for your ability and ability."

Along the way, no one doubted that Shen Qiuqiu, a college student, had no future if he returned to the countryside to farm.

Shen Qiuqiu was not modest either, and said with a smile: "My grandparents taught me well."
