After returning to the countryside to farm, I brought the whole village to become rich

Chapter 44
At the dinner table, Grandma Shen suddenly put down the bowl and chopsticks in the middle of her meal, stood up and hurried back to the house.

After a while, the old lady came out with a piece of red cloth from the house.

It was only then that Shen Qiuqiu realized that according to the custom in his hometown, buying a new car requires a red flag.

Red has the meaning of Hong (red) luck, representing joy, auspiciousness and auspiciousness.

The elderly believe that red can drive away evil spirits and keep people safe.

Originally, Grandma Shen didn't understand these things either, but the village chief's wife taught her when the family bought a three-wheeled motorcycle a few years ago.

Until now, there is still a piece of whitened red cloth hanging on her three-wheeled motorcycle.

In Shen Qiuqiu's opinion, the matter of being popular is not necessary, but the old man is very superstitious about it, so he followed them.

It's just that there's no rush for the new car to be popular at this moment.

She got up and pulled grandma back to the dining table, "Grandma, let's eat first, we'll do it later."

Grandma Shen was preoccupied with something, picked up the bowl and ate quickly, without eating any food, and finished the rice in the bowl after a few big mouthfuls.

Shen Qiuqiu shook his head helplessly, a little dumbfounded.

The old man is getting older, but his personality is becoming more and more like a child, and he doesn't listen to persuasion at all.

After eating, Grandma Shen sat aside and began to tear the red cloth and tie big red flowers.

After a while, seeing that Song Na had finished eating, Grandma Shen gave her another 20 yuan and asked her to go to Yang Yanhong's canteen to buy a set of firecrackers.

After living in Qinghe Village for a few days, Song Na already knew all the roads in the village, took the money, and ran away quickly.

After Shen Qiuqiu had a good meal, he drove the car to the yard and parked it.

The small farmyard has a large space, and it is more than enough to park a car.

Grandma Shen's preparations are almost done.

Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are still a lot of fruits and snacks at home, and the tributes are all ready-made.

Grandma Shen took the plate, filled some of each item, then placed the offerings on the table and began to burn paper.

While burning the paper, he muttered, "Master Road God is happy, take care of your children and grandchildren when they go out, walk on the big road, walk on the small road, the journey is very peaceful.
The sky is yang, the earth is yin, and the children and grandchildren are protected when they go out. The head of the Bodhisattva comes to lead the way, followed by the Eight-Direction Vajra, so that the children and grandchildren can go back to the village without disasters and difficulties. "

Grandma Shen added Shen Qiuqiu's name and license plate number to this passage, and repeated it three times, very piously.

After burning the paper, set off firecrackers and light incense.

Finally, hang the tied red silk on the front of the car, tie the left and right rearview mirrors and the hubs of the four tires with red strings, and the red hanging ceremony is considered complete.

After doing this, Grandma Shen felt more at ease in her heart.

But I still did not forget to tell Shen Qiuqiu, "In the future when driving out, watch the road carefully, we would rather drive slower, the most important thing is to be safe.

Your dad was driving too fast that year, and when the police finally pulled him out of the car, he didn't even have a human figure..."

Thinking of her son who died early, Grandma Shen couldn't help but her eyes were red, tears fell down her cheeks, and the words were choked up and she couldn't speak.

Shen Qiuqiu also felt sad, reached out to hug grandma, and comforted her in a low voice: "Grandma, don't worry, I drive very steadily, and I will definitely pay attention to safety."

However, Grandpa Shen suddenly stood up and shouted at Grandma Shen: "I think you are really stupid, have a good day, what are you talking about! Do you want to curse Xiaohua or something? It's not too bad luck!"

Shen Xiu also said: "Mom, what you said just now is too unlucky, hurry up and pee."

After being yelled at by Grandpa Shen, Grandma Shen also realized that she had said something wrong, and quickly poohed three times.

Put your hands together, and muttered in your mouth, "It's no wonder that the strong wind blows away. May my little flower live a long life, safe and sound, and have a long life."

After such a small episode, the whole family was a little depressed.

Grandpa Shen kept his face drooping, went back to the house, took a pack of cigarettes, and went out with his hands behind his back, planning to go to the next door to find Wang Weidong for a drink or two.

Grandma Shen also felt bad.

The old lady's eyes were red and she looked devastated, which made people feel distressed.

Shen Qiuqiu took her back to the main room.

The grandfather and grandson were sitting on the sofa. Shen Qiuqiu put his arms around grandma and leaned his head on her shoulder.

Neither of them spoke, but the ups and downs in their hearts gradually calmed down.

……

There is no overnight feud in the family. Both Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen are very open-minded people.

The next morning, the old couple returned to their usual smiling faces.

After a simple breakfast, Grandpa Shen took Shen Xiu up the mountain to hunt pigweed; Grandma Shen and Song Na sat in the yard weaving bamboo baskets.

Shen Qiuqiu moved the laptop to the yard, basking in the sun while looking up information on the Internet.

The three strawberry varieties mentioned by Zhang Li have their own advantages and disadvantages, but they have good reputation and evaluation.

The fruit of Zhangji strawberry is long conical, the fruit is as big as an egg, the flesh is soft and juicy, the taste is thick and sweet, and there is a faint milky fragrance, so it is also called cream strawberry.

Hongyan strawberry is also a large fruit type, with beautiful appearance, sweet and sour juiciness, moderate fruit hardness, and good storage and transportation resistance.

The yield per mu of these two kinds of strawberries is about 4000 catties, and the retail price is between 15 and 40. The market is fairly stable.

As for the light snow princess with ginkgo fruit and red seeds, it is a new variety introduced in the past two years. In addition to its unbelievable appearance, the taste seems to be very good.

There is a very popular comment on the Internet that says: In addition to the unique sweetness of strawberries, Light Snow Princess also has a special fragrance, like the taste of first love.

The retail price of Light Snow Princess has also remained high, basically above [-] yuan, a proper Hermès in the strawberry world.

Each of these three strawberries looks delicious.

Just looking at the pictures on the Internet, Shen Qiuqiu was so greedy.

She calculated the cost of planting, except that the seedlings of Princess Light Snow are more expensive, the others are actually not much different.

Therefore, it was finally decided to plant all three varieties of strawberries.

The multiple-choice questions are too difficult to do, and it is best to let a hundred flowers bloom.

As for where to plant it, Shen Qiuqiu has also thought about it, the wasteland at the foot of Laodong Mountain.

It looks like ten acres, close to home and easy to manage.

The wasteland at the foot of Old Dongshan belongs to Shen Qiuqiu's father.

The corn he had been growing in the early years could not make much money; so during the slack season, he would go to the county town to do odd jobs to make money.

Once when I was delivering goods on a rainy day, I accidentally got into a car accident, not only hurting someone, but also risking my own life.

After his death, no one took care of the land, and Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen couldn't take care of it, so they rented the land to a family in the village to grow it.

Two years ago, the family bought a house in the county and moved away.

There are few people in rural areas, and almost every family has dozens of acres of land; they can't grow their own land, so how can they rent land to grow it.

The old Dongshan land has been deserted for the past two years.
