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

Chapter 49 I Want to Plant Strawberries

Grandpa Shen called Shen Qiuqiu to him and told her that Zhou Dingwei also wanted to grow strawberries.

At the end, he said: "I can't make up my mind about this matter, it's up to you to decide."

Originally, they were all fellow villagers, and the two families usually walk relatively close. When the farming season is busy, the young man often comes to help the family with work.

Since he opened his mouth, it's okay to take him to plant together.

This was originally the granddaughter's project to get rich for the village.

But now strawberry planting is still in the experimental stage, and this matter still has certain risks.

It’s okay to make money in the future, but if you lose money, no matter who is responsible, even your own conscience can’t bear it.

Grandpa Shen also didn't know much about growing strawberries, so he was a little undecided for a while, so he threw this hot potato to his granddaughter.

Shen Qiuqiu thought for a while, and said to Zhou Dingwei: "Brother Dingwei, we are also planting this strawberry for the first year, and we are still in the groping stage, I don't know if it will be successful.

The cost of planting per mu of land is 7000 yuan. If it is lost, the loss will be very large.

There are also follow-up sales issues that have not yet been resolved.

In short, there are still many uncertain factors, and I don’t know if I can make money.

If you want to plant, you might as well wait a year.

Next year our planting technology will be more mature, and the surrounding market may also open up.

If you plant again at that time, the timing will be better. "

Zhou Dingwei knew that what she said was right, every word made sense.

But once this idea came into my mind, I couldn't get rid of it.

He wanted to take advantage of the hard work in his heart and work hard.

Every autumn and winter, I spend my time at home playing cards and fighting landlords. It’s so boring, people are lazy.

Going to the county to do odd jobs, even after eating and renting a house, there is not much money left.

It's better to stay in the village and plant a few acres of strawberries. If you can make money, your family can have a good year.

He took a deep breath, and said sincerely: "Xiaohua, I know you are doing it for my own good. But I am a bit stubborn, and even nine bulls can't pull back the things I have decided.

Just take me to plant it together, I don’t have many varieties, so just try to plant two or three acres of land.

Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't care.If I lose money, I will admit it myself, and I will never blame you. "

He said everything to this point, and Shen Qiuqiu was too embarrassed to refuse.

"Okay, you go back and turn over the land first, make a good ridge and dig a hole; when my house is planted, I will teach you how to plant it."

Seeing her nodding and agreeing, Zhou Dingwei was so happy that he jumped three feet high, "Xiao Hua, thank you so much, you will be my master from now on."

With that said, the young man was about to bow to Shen Qiuqiu.

The two were of the same generation, how could Shen Qiuqiu accept his gift, she was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind Grandpa Shen, only showing her head.

"Brother Dingwei, you're welcome, we're all from the same village, and we should help each other.

When I was not at home, I know how much you took care of my grandparents and helped my family do a lot of farm work.

We were not polite to you before, and now you are not polite to us either. "

Zhou Dingwei probably also knew that his actions just now were a bit abrupt, so he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Okay, then I won't be rude to you."

Shen Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to see off the guests.

But Zhou Dingwei bent down and picked up the hoe on the ground, still muttering something.

"I don't have much to do in the past two days, I just follow you to study for a few days, and then I don't need to trouble you to teach me.

You want to dig a hole, right? I will do this. You guys go rest and let me do it. "

After all, he waved a hoe to dig a hole.

Grandpa Shen couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.

After all, he was a young man with great strength, and he swung his hoe vigorously, digging a hole with each hoe, digging quickly and well.

Seeing his cousin working so hard, Zhou Linjiang felt ashamed to leave alone.

He silently walked to the place where Shen Qiuqiu was standing before, picked up the hoe on the ground, and began to dig a hole.

Grandpa Shen didn't care about the two brothers, pulled his granddaughter aside, and muttered in a low voice: "Are you really bringing him to plant together? What if you lose money?

His family's life is not easy, his father died early, his mother is not in good health, a daughter is just able to walk, and a younger brother is in junior high school. "

Seeing the sad look on his grandfather's face, Shen Qiuqiu smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."

In fact, theoretically speaking, as long as there are no natural and man-made disasters, strawberries can definitely be grown.

As for the market, no matter how bad it is, if you sell it for ten yuan a catty in the county, someone will always want it.

Whether you can make money is not certain, but at least you won't lose money. At most, it will be a waste of several months of effort.

……

From that day on, Zhou Dingwei and his brothers went to the Shen family's strawberry field to report every morning with a hoe on their shoulders.

At first, Grandma Shen was a little embarrassed, and said a lot of polite rejections.

The two brothers listened to what they heard, and they still came to report on time the next day with a hoe on their shoulders.

After the persuasion failed, Grandma Shen stopped persuading her.

It's just that when the work is done every day, he forcibly drags the two young men home for dinner.

Every now and then, I have to make two big bowls of meat dishes, which are full of oil and water.

With the joining of these two brothers, the pits on the ten-acre land were quickly dug.

It was two days faster than Shen Qiuqiu expected.

The preparatory work has been completed, and the strawberry seedlings will arrive in about two or three days.

The Shen family, who had been busy for several days from morning to night, finally had two days of rest.

The others are all used to doing farm work, so they don't think there is anything wrong.

Shen Qiuqiu was extremely tired, and fell asleep on the bed after taking a shower.

, I had no dreams all night, and slept until noon the next day.

It was Grandma Shen who had cooked the meal and called her to get up for lunch.

Otherwise she can sleep through the night.

Shen Qiuqiu came out of the room sleepily, and was stunned when she saw Shen Jiashu standing in the yard, before she realized it.

Oh, it's already October [-]st, the long holiday I was looking forward to very much.

After returning to Qinghe Village, life is leisurely and comfortable.

There is no nine-to-five, no work and entertainment, and every day is a small holiday.

She has gotten used to not looking at the calendar and not remembering what day it is today, because she lives every day to the fullest instead of counting the days.

Shen Jiashu was also startled when he saw Shen Qiuqiu, "Sister, you secretly lost weight? I haven't been at home for a few days, and your face has lost a lot of weight."

Shen Qiuqiu raised his hand and pinched his cheeks, as if a little bit of flesh was indeed missing.

Since she came back, grandma made delicious food for her in different ways every day, and her weight has also increased by a few catties.

I have been doing farm work for a few days, and I am very tired, but my physical strength has improved, and my small body has become stronger.

She gave Shen Jiashu a white look, "I'm not fat, so why lose weight. I've been doing labor reform at home these two days, and I'm exercising."

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing a section of her arm.

Then he clenched his fists, bent his arms slightly, and pointed to the slightly protruding muscles on his arms.

"Look, my biceps!"

Shen Jiashu blinked, and slowly stretched out his thumb, giving him a thumbs up.

"Excellent, my sister."
