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

Chapter 48 The Villagers Gossip
These days, Shen Qiuqiu's family is busy hiring farming machines and erecting fences.

It attracted the attention of many people in the village.

Right now is the slack season, when the villagers drop by to chat, draw cards and play mahjong.

Villager Zhao Xiaochang's home, a group of people gathered together, smoking, playing cards, eating melon seeds, and talking about the family's shortcomings.

Naturally, the Shen family was mentioned.

"Hey, have you seen the new car bought by the old Shentou's granddaughter? It looks old-fashioned, and it costs tens of thousands, right?"

Zhao Xiaochang spit out a few melon seed shells, and said indifferently: "What is tens of thousands of dollars, the piece of grapes in his family sold for at least 10,000+."

Everyone exclaimed, "My darling, old Shen has developed a lot."

Zhou Linjiang suddenly realized, "Oh... no wonder his granddaughter would give up a good job in the big city and come back to the village."

Zhao Xiaochang smiled and said: "That is, if I can earn 10,000+ a year, I won't let my son go out to work. How comfortable it is to stay at home."

Li Jihong curled his lips in disdain, "At least he is a college student. It is nothing to go back to the countryside to farm. He is useless. If it is my child, I will drive him away with a stick, and I will drive him to the city."

A group of people burst into laughter, mocking Li Jihong and said, "What are you dreaming of? Your son hasn't graduated from junior high school, so you have the nerve to bury other college students."

Before the laughter fell, someone asked again: "It seems that his family has recently found a farming machine to plow the land on the old Dongshan side. There is a lot of commotion. What are you planning to do?"

Zhao Xiaochang shook his head, "Who knows, his family has made a lot of money selling grapes this year, maybe they want to plant a few more acres of grapes."

Many people were a little moved when they heard this, "It's really making money, why don't we try planting a few acres?"

Zhao Xiaochang raised his legs, waved his hands and said, "I want to plant you, but I don't plant them. It takes three years to bear fruit, and the daylilies are all cold. I don't have the time to serve them."

Everyone thinks about it, and it took three years to bear fruit, which is indeed too long.

Planting corn and sweet potatoes yields some harvests every year. Not only can they be sold for money, they can also be eaten by themselves, and they can also be fed to livestock.

If the grapes are planted instead, there will be no harvest in the field for three years, and the whole family will not be able to drink the northwest wind.

At this time, Lin Fusheng, who had been sitting in the corner without making a sound, suddenly said mysteriously: "What you said is not right. Old Shentou didn't plan to grow grapes in the old Dongshan land, they want to grow something else."

Everyone looked over curiously, "If you don't grow grapes, what else can you grow?"

Lin Fusheng smiled and said nothing, Zhou Linjiang picked up the cigarette on the table, took out one and handed it over to him, and lit it himself.

Lin Fusheng squinted his eyes and blew out a smoke ring, and then he said slowly: "I drank with Wang Weidong two days ago, and I heard him mention that he seems to be planning to grow strawberries."

Zhou Linjiang couldn't help frowning, "Strawberry? How much is that thing worth?"

His cousin Zhou Dingwei interjected: "Who says it's worthless, that thing is very expensive.

When my wife and I were dating, I took her to the county town for dinner once, and there was a man on the side of the road selling a load.

My daughter-in-law saw it and said she wanted to eat it. When I went up and asked, it cost 25 yuan a catty without bargaining.

I gritted my teeth and bought a small bag, which cost more than 40 yuan.I still feel bad when I think about it now. "

Those words caused everyone in the room to burst into laughter again.

But Zhao Xiaochang sighed, and said cursingly: "Damn, what kind of world is this, a crap that doesn't care about food is more expensive than food that fills one's stomach.

In another two years, those of us honest farmers who grow grain may have no way to survive. "

Li Jihong also sighed, "Who says it's not? Pork is only about ten yuan a catty, and a broken strawberry sells for 25. If you eat it, you can go to heaven."

As they talked, everyone couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, and they didn't feel like playing cards anymore.

They just broke up and went back to their homes.

Zhou Linjiang and Zhou Dingwei are cousins, they lived not far away, so they went back together.

When he was about to walk to the door of the house, Zhou Dingwei suddenly threw the half of the cigarette left in his hand on the ground, stepped on it and crushed it a few times.

"Brother, I've decided, I want to grow strawberries too."

Zhou Linjiang didn't react, "What?"

Zhou Dingwei looked up at the sky, and repeated what he said just now, "I decided to grow strawberries with Grandpa Shen.

His granddaughter is a college student and a person who has seen the world, so it is right to follow them. "

Zhou Linjiang frowned and persuaded him: "You have to think about it, no one in our village has grown such a thing before, if it's not good, or if it can't be sold, who do you cry to?
If you ask me, it's better to grow food in a down-to-earth manner, and then feed the two pigs well.Although I can't make a lot of money, I can't go hungry either. "

Zhou Dingwei was so determined that he didn't listen to advice at all.

"Brother, I just want to work hard and work hard. I have nothing to do with myself, but I don't want my children to live such a hard life again.

Look at the children in the city, learning the piano, learning to dance, and taking interest classes.Our kids have never even tasted McDonald's..."

The more he spoke, the more sad he became, and his voice became lower and lower.

Zhou Linjiang patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, you can plant it if you want."

Then, he pulled Zhou Dingwei back and headed towards Shen Qiuqiu's house.

"Let's go, I'll accompany you to the old Shentou's house and ask."

When they went, the door of Shen's house was closed tightly, and no one answered after calling for a long time.

At this point, it should be down.

Thinking that their family was clearing up the old Dongshan wasteland recently, the two brothers looked for it again.

This time it finally didn't fail.

Grandpa Shen's family is digging holes on the raised ridge, and when the strawberry seedlings arrive, they can plant them directly.

Grandpa Shen saw the two brothers from a long distance away, leaning on the handle of the hoe, straightened his waist, and greeted them loudly, "Lin Jiang, Ding Wei, why are you here?"

The two brothers responded, and trotted to Grandpa Shen.

Zhou Dingwei called out, "Grandpa Shen."

When the words came to his lips, he was a little embarrassed to speak, and only blushed and scratched the back of his head.

It was Zhou Linjiang who helped and said, "Grandpa Shen, my younger brother heard that your family is going to plant strawberries, and he also wants to plant a few acres. I wonder if it will work?"

Grandpa Shen didn't expect him to have such an idea, and he didn't know whether he should agree or not.

He turned his head and called out to Shen Qiuqiu who was not far away, "Xiao Hua, come here."

Shen Qiuqiu put down the hoe and came over at a trot.

She went to the ground today wearing a set of old clothes, patched on the clothes, washed white black sweatpants with the legs rolled up high, army green cloth shoes full of mud, and a worn-out hat on her head. straw hat.

She was dressed like a rural woman.

Both brothers Zhou Linjiang and Zhou Dingwei were taken aback.

This is the college student in the village?Apart from being good-looking, she is no different from rural women.
