Father's Land Mother's River

Chapter 166 Feedback
Living in a metropolis, the perception of seasons is first on the calendar and then on the senses, and the response to seasonal changes is always slow and slow.

When the cherries are ripe, Wu Yanli and her son live in a farm and live in a brand new environment.Watching the sunrise and sunset, watching the ebb and flow of the tide, the leaves turning from green to yellow, the north wind blowing, and every subtle change in the season of snowflakes brought her extraordinary feelings.

Unknowingly, the ice and snow melted, and the strong southerly wind drove the waves, which hit the coast and made a thunderous roar, and the bay that had been silent for a whole winter will be lively again.The pine forest in front of the office building was the first to wake up, and the dark green pine needles became green and eye-catching, with green waves rippling.

On windless and sunny days, Wu Yanli would hold Wentian into the pine forest, let him touch the pine needles and cones, smell the strong pine fragrance, and feel the breath of spring.

Every time, he would stop in front of that oval-shaped reef for a while, let Wen Tian touch the three big characters engraved on it, and talking to himself seemed to say to his son: "Your father's handwriting is so good!"

Wen Tian agreed with an "ahh".Wen Tian still can only call him "Dad", and he can't pronounce "Mom" no matter how hard he teaches.What does it matter?The doctor has long asserted that Wentian's tongue is not dexterous, and he will not be able to speak for the rest of his life. It is already a miracle that he can be called "Dad".

Wen Tian's heart is spiritual, maybe he can feel his mother's love for these three words, and her preference for this pine forest.His mother was holding him and standing on the cliff at the edge of the pine forest, the expression on his face was vivid, and he was no longer sad or sad.

He could feel that every time his mother came here, there would be a little bit of happiness in his heart.At this moment, he couldn't help but touch his mother's face. He felt that his mother was the most beautiful and happiest at this time.

"Let me kiss you. This is my first time." That's what he said at the time.Wu Yanli raised her rosy and delicate face and kissed Wen Tian's cheek.Wen Tian's face was itchy, and he dodged it with a "giggle" smile.

Wu Yanli also laughed softly.Before saying this, she had secretly knitted a scarf for Liu Xiaonan, but she had never seen him wearing it around his neck.When Liu Xiaonan was in college, he secretly knitted a sweater for him, and it can be concluded that he did not wear it either.

Because in the winter that just passed, Liu Xiaonan wore these two things around her neck at the same time, as if they were newly woven.

That was when the first strong cold snap hit, and the family of four came to the bay for the weekend as usual.The car stopped in front of the office building, she went out to greet her, and saw Liu Xiaonan wearing a fluffy white scarf around her neck.

Although more than ten years have passed, she still recognizes the scarf as her hand.She dodged her eyes in surprise, for fear that Meng Xiangxiang would notice her unnaturalness and her heart would be pounding.

Meng Xiangxiang took the two children to visit Wentian first, brought delicious and interesting things to Wentian, and played with Wentian for a while.Fortunately, Liu Xiaonan didn't follow into the house. Even so, she was still very uneasy when she was by Meng Xiangxiang's side, afraid that Meng Xiangxiang would bring up the scarf.

Meng Xiangxiang just mentioned it, and she said to her, "I can't learn the pattern of that sweater you knitted for Xiaonan."

She smiled embarrassingly, but couldn't say a word.Meng Xiang pulled her to sit on her bed, and the sisters explained everything, "I asked him to wear a sweater today, it's a memory of your youth, it can't be kept under the box all the time. "

After all, he is a person with culture and self-cultivation. He doesn't talk about friendship or love. He only talks about the memory of youth, and everything is included in it.It seems that he knows everything, and he speaks so pleasantly and intimately, but he doesn't fully understand it.

The more natural Meng Xiangxiang said, the more embarrassed she felt. At that time, she felt that she was very small and pitiful.If it wasn't for Meng Xiangxiang to say, "Look, our whole family wears the sweaters you knitted." She would be ashamed.

indeed so.When the weather just turned cold, she used her spare time and evening time to start knitting sweaters for Qiyu and Qimeng's two children.

Those two children are very sensible, every time they come to the bay to play with Wentian, they don't dislike Wentian at all, so that Wentian can also have two little friends.She likes those two children, and all she can do is knit a sweater for them.

When she put a white sweater on Qiyu and a pink sweater on Qimeng, and let the two children try on the sweaters, Meng wanted to praise her knitting skills and said: I want to learn from her.

Meng Xiangxiang thought of her as a sister, and she was a graduate student, and had to take care of a man and two children, unlike her, who was alone and had no spare time to knit sweaters.Therefore, she knitted a sweater for Meng Xiangxiang as well.

The whole family of them wore the sweaters she knitted on the same day, which only showed that Meng Xiangxiang handled things properly and did not make people embarrassed or embarrassing.From that day on, she really regarded Meng Xiangxiang as a sister.

Meng Xiangxiang didn't know how to knit sweaters with complicated patterns, so she gave her a head and taught her how to knit.

When Liu Xiaonan replaced the gray sweetheart-neck sweater she knitted with the blue open-neck sweater Meng Xiangxiang knitted, she felt that there was a part of herself in that sweater.Even if it is a pitiful part, it is enough to comfort her lonely heart.

The winter that just passed was extremely cold, but she saw Liu Xiaonan's heart that had been preserved for more than ten years, and it was another extremely warm winter for her.

Several close sisters in the textile factory visited her at the farm one after another, telling her about the difficulty and hardship after being laid off.Seeing how Liu Xiaonan arranged for her, they were all happy for her.

During the few days when I went home for the Spring Festival, my parents, younger siblings and daughter-in-law regarded her as a guest of honor.Liu Xiaonan prepared generous New Year's goods for her, and she could use the money to honor her parents and buy new clothes for her younger siblings and daughter-in-law.

Parents said that her complexion has improved a lot. My younger brother said that my elder brother is a kind person. There are not many people like this these days, so let's work hard on the farm.

After the Spring Festival, Sister Wang Aiqing also came to see her. She came in Liu Xiaonan's car and stayed with her all day.She blamed Sister Wang for coming to see her, and Sister Wang knew everything about you even if she didn't come to see you.Before leaving, Sister Wang told her to live in the farm with peace of mind, and we will talk about the future.

She doesn't dare to expect extravagant things in the future, she only cherishes what is in front of her.When she heard the female reporter Song Ge calling Liu Xiaonan loudly, she pretended not to hear it and ignored it.

Running to the farm twice in three days, how can there be so many business matters?Don't ask the seniors to call them by their names directly, as if they are familiar with each other, and I don't know what kind of plan they have.

Wen Tian heard someone calling his "Dad", and instead of his mother, he answered loudly "Ahhh".Wen Tian exposed her whereabouts, Wu Yanli could only walk out of the pine forest with her son in her arms, and said to Song Ge who was wandering in front of the office building: "Our boss is not at the farm."

Song Ge asked, "Sister Wu, do you know where Xiaonan has gone?"

Xiao Nan is your name?Wu Yanli said: "He is the boss, so why would he tell me where he wants to go?"

Wu Yanli knew where Liu Xiaonan had gone, but she didn't say anything.Song Ge is young and bold, and it's not good to always cling to Liu Xiaonan, as if Meng Xiangxiang is still in the dark.

In this matter, she felt that she and Meng Xiangxiang were in the same trench, and she had to hold the ground for Meng Xiangxiang.

Song Ge drove away, Wu Yanli was secretly happy.She didn't know that Song Ge had the phone number of Liu Xiaonan's cell phone, so she could know where he was with just one call.

Liu Xiaonan is on the back hillside of Liuzi Street.

During the Spring Festival, Liu Xiaonan was pissed off by something.The widow that the fourth brother secretly misses has not had a good life after remarrying, because their children are biased and often quarrel.The child has grown up, there are more places to spend money, and I can't live on, so I got divorced years ago.

The widow inquired about the meaning of the fourth brother through acquaintances, and she didn't dislike the three of them. She didn't want to get rich, but only wanted to raise the two children.

The fourth brother said that he didn't dislike it. The fourth brother's parents were old and didn't care about the matter, but the fourth brother's brothers and sisters still disagreed.Everyone knows the little bit of beating, the fourth brother married a widow, and no one gave them free land to cultivate.

This time, Liu Xiaonan would rather offend others than help fourth brother.He advised the fourth brother to sell the two horses quietly, cut off everyone's thinking, and took the widow home.

He was going to contract the pond in the village to raise river crabs, and asked his fourth brother to guard the pond for him. According to the salary standard at Longwangtang, he would pay his fourth brother 2000 yuan a month.

Someone washes and cooks for the fourth brother, and takes care of his father and mother, and the fourth brother is also able to provide for the widow and the two children to study.If life goes well, it's okay to have another child.

After the fourth brother agreed, Liu Xiaonan went to see Third Uncle Guan Deyu to discuss contracting the pond in front of the village.

Guan Deyu said with a smile: "You have talent. When you were doing farm work at home after school, you wanted to contract fish farming in that pond. If your father didn't agree, the typhoon and flood in [-] would make you lose money." It’s a bottom line. The pond has been abandoned for many years, and no one dares to contract it. If you have the courage, I will give it to you.”

Liu Xiaonan said: "I came prepared this time, and I will never let that happen."

Guan Deyu naturally knew Liu Xiaonan's strength, so there was no need to worry about him. He said, "You have built a school for the village, and the villagers believe in you. It would be great if you could find a way for everyone to get rich. gone."

Liu Xiaonan thought for a while and said confidently: "Uncle San, there is a ready-made project, but I don't know if you really believe me. There is a small earth mountain in my farm, and the contractor was contracted by Brother Sha, who was born as a fruit farmer. I suggested planting all the big cherry trees. I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time, but just wanted to fulfill Brother Sha’s wish. The year before last was the first year to bear fruit, and it sold for less than 3 yuan. Last year, it was a four-year-old tree. The yield of each tree is only about ten catties, and nearly 20 trees have been sold for nearly [-]. Brother Sha said that as it enters the peak production period, the benefits will increase exponentially every year."

"Such a high income?! You mean to promote the planting of big cherries in the village?"

"It must be planted in a large area to produce economies of scale. I checked the relevant information and found that the latitude and longitude of our area is very suitable for the growth of large cherries. The soil quality on the back hill is similar to that of the small soil hill in Longwangtang. Yield and quality are guaranteed."

"Grandparents have never planted big cherries, and it will be difficult to promote. How to solve the problem of seedlings and sales?"

"I will deal with the seedlings and sales. If someone is not well-off, I can buy seedlings."

Guan Deyu was very excited: "Xiaonan, if this thing is done, Third Uncle will honor you, and Liuzi Street will honor you."

After some discussion, the father and father decided to do a promotion experiment on the back hillside first.The piece of land on the back hillside belongs to more than a dozen families, most of them have the surname Liu, and they belong to the same villager group. Liu Zhixin, Liu Zhitai, and Liu Qishun's fourth brother's family are all among them, so it is relatively easy to promote.

On the same day, Guan Deyu summoned the heads of the dozen or so households to Liu Zhixin's house and listened to Liu Xiaonan's introduction.

The persuasive power of successful people is always very strong. Most people believed in Liu Xiaonan, and the fourth brother and Liu Qishun responded positively. Only two families gave up various excuses and were unwilling to participate in this big collective project.

In a stretch of cherry forest, if other tall crops are planted, it will certainly affect the growth of adjacent cherry trees.In order to support his son, Liu Zhixin decided to exchange the river beach land of his own family for the hillside land of those two families.

Liu Qishun wanted to do the same.Growing up together in the same courtyard, Xiao Nan was so successful, and she herself was such a failure, that she could no longer walk down the old road with her eyes darkened.If you are poor, you want to change. He wants to work hard with Xiaonan.

Liu Zhixin gave up to his grandson Liu Qishun.Witnessed by Guan Deyu and everyone else, Liu Qishun signed a land exchange contract with those two families.After signing the contract, Liu Qishun was worried again, and asked Liu Xiaonan if it was too risky.

Liu Xiaonan told him that after three years, his wife would come back by herself.

With the obstacles removed, the rest of the matter is easy to solve.Liu Xiaonan suggested that everyone buy three-year-old seedlings, plant them this year, and manage them properly to bear fruit next year, and see benefits the year after.Although the price of three-year-old seedlings is relatively expensive, the effect is quick.

Everyone also accepted his suggestion. Some families couldn't afford so much cash to buy seedlings, so Liu Xiaonan paid all in advance.

Just do what you say, and everyone calculates the number of seedlings needed in their own plots according to the row spacing and spacing given by Liu Xiaonan, and brings them together to Liu Xiaonan.Liu Xiaonan called Sha Wanli and asked him to go to the seedling base to select and order seedlings by himself.

The first month of this year is the busiest one.Taking advantage of the dry season, the pond was still frozen, so Liu Xiaonan hired a bulldozer to flatten and deepen the pond, and reinforce the dam that raised the pond.At the same time, we have to go to the back hillside and guide everyone to dig tree pits according to the depth and width given by Sha Wanli.

Liu Xiaonan has devoted a lot of enthusiasm and energy to this. Compared with starting a business a few years ago, he feels that being the leader this time is more meaningful.

The blood of his ancestors was surging in his heart, and he felt that he was worthy of his ancestors and the stone tablet left by Mr. Guan.In the days to come, he will run both ends of Liuzi Street in Longwangtang, and the meaning of life will definitely be broadened from this.

In the evening, the family also talks about these things that are happening.Jiang Changling was worried for her son. If the expected and expected goals were not achieved by then, everyone would secretly scold her son.

Liu Zhixin said: "Others believe in our son, why can't you?"

Since the operation in [-], almost ten years have passed, and the cancer cells have not recurred in my mother.Liu Xiaonan said to her mother: "No matter how great the risk is, it is not as great as the risk of overcoming the serious illness. Our mother and son have come to this day because of our strong desire for life."

Meng Xiangxiang said to Jiang Changling: "Auntie, Xiaonan is giving back to her hometown. Mothers should be the first to stand up and support her."

Jiang Changling gave Meng Xiangxiang a blank look and said, "You are a stupid wife. If Xiaonan won't be home for three days, don't come to me crying."

Meng Xiangxiang hugged Jiang Changling's shoulder and said, "Auntie, when did you think I cried?"

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Liu Xiaonan sent Meng Xiangxiang and the child back to Bincheng.Meng Xiangxiang graduated from graduate school this year, so she had to prepare her thesis and defense in advance, so she couldn't involve too much of her energy.He asked Meng Xiangxiang to take the driver's license test as well, since it would be difficult for him to spend a lot of time at home in the future.

Back at the Longwangtang Farm, Liu Xiaonan arranged the specific affairs after the beginning of spring, went with Sha Wanli to check the big cherry seedlings, and delivered the advance payment.Then he returned to Liuzi Street non-stop, brought back a color TV to the fourth brother, and asked the fourth brother to take the widow and two children home.

As the first month came out and the weather gradually became warmer, Liu Xiaonan built three rooms on the embankment of the pond for storing bait and guarding at night.He stood side by side with the fourth brother on the embankment, and asked the fourth brother half-jokingly and half-seriously, is it good to have a wife and children?
The fourth brother smiled honestly, then told Liu Xiaonan angrily that someone spoke ill of him behind his back, saying that he bought people's hearts.If he knew who was being careless and made trouble with Xiaonan, he would throw that person so hard that he couldn't get up on the bed.

Liu Xiaonan smiled contemptuously, he could guess who they were, and told Fourth Brother not to worry too much.

There is such a kind of person everywhere, he himself is poor, but he also hopes that others are poor; what he cannot do himself, he also hopes that others cannot.He advised the fourth brother not to be angry, and to live his life well, and those who are too idle will naturally shut up.

Early this morning, Liu Xiaonan led the way by car, accompanied by Sha Wanli, guiding the flatbed truck at the seedling base to transport a thousand large cherry saplings to Liuzi Street.

When Song Ge called, he and Guan Deyusha Wanli were on the back hillside, organizing everyone to plant saplings.
